Ruyi picked up the needle and thread, picked a piece of red cloth, and wanted to quickly embroider Bai Ruiji's name on it.

Bai Ruiji seemed to have noticed something, and the sound of her pipa stopped, which made Ruyi shudder all over.

She raised her head and looked out through the crack in the door, and met Bai Ruiji's contemptuous eyes. Ruyi thought of the whipping that Bai Ruiji had given her that day. Now, her arms still hurt from time to time.

Although Bai Ruiji beat her, she was a cheerful and cheerful person like the bright moon and fresh breeze, and would not hold it against Bai Ruiji.

However, Ruyi still put down her needlework because she felt that Bai Ruiji did not need her blessing.

This time, Yongqi married Tian Yuner, which reminded her of Grandma Tian who played tricks on her during childbirth. A midwife could become a noble lady. Could she suppress this blessing?

It was Grandma Tian who needed her blessing more. She wanted to repay evil with kindness and help Grandma Tian break her fate.

Ruyi picked up the pen and embroidered Grandma Tian's name under Dongmei's gaze.

Dongmei thought to herself that although she didn't know who Grandma Tian was and although Grandma Tian might not give her money, she couldn't just watch someone get killed.

Just think of it as a buy three get one free, and you can cut a prayer flag for free.

Dongmei used a small fan to blow the fire for boiling medicine bigger. After all, it didn't cost much to get medicine for the master. The investment was small and the return was big. Supporting the master was a constant source of money.

When everyone was asleep, Concubine Mei finally passed away, and Ruyi finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was wrapped in a quilt and leaning on the bed with her armor lifted up. She stroked the spot on her face where Ling Yunche had hit her, feeling it was hot.

Ruyi thought that after Ling Yunche beat her, he could still say some nice words to coax her, but the emperor did not express anything to her after the incident with Han Xiangjian, which was really disheartening.

Thinking of this, Ruyi picked up the medicine soup on the table and poured it into the green plum basin.

On the other hand, the emperor was pleased to find that Yongqi did not get angry because of his difficulties. Instead, he turned to calligraphy and painting and made considerable achievements.

His suspicion of Yongqi gradually disappeared, but he sent people to monitor Prince Rong's mansion more closely and forbade him to have any contact with General Wu.

It's not his fault that he is suspicious. Several of his pen pals mentioned the major changes that have taken place in their countries in their letters, which forced the emperor to be on guard.

In addition, the emperor had already decided on the marriage for his second son, Yongcong.

E Bi's daughter, Xilin Gioro Ci Guang, was the study partner of the fifth princess Jingyan. She was one year older than Yongcong, dignified and generous, which complemented Yongcong's carefree personality, making them a good match for her.

Although Yongcong was still young, only if he got married early could the other princes later take their time to choose good matches.

Knowing the character of the Seventh Prince Yongcong, all the palaces sent gifts to Changchun Palace to congratulate him on his happy event.

Among them, what puzzled Fucha Langya was that Concubine Yu, Hailan, actually sent double gifts.

Hai Lan told the Queen that when she was selecting a companion for the princess, she had seen Xilin Jueluo Ci Guang from a distance and had felt that she was very kind to her, so she loved her especially well.

Fu Cha Langya also pulled Hai Lan aside and talked about how good Ci Guang was. She also said that when Yong Cong saw Ci Guang before, he always followed her and called her sister, but now that he knew he was engaged to her, he became shy.

After hearing this, Hai Lan felt relieved. The Seventh Prince was confident and intelligent, and he grew up under the protection of the Emperor and the Empress. He had the ability to love since he was a child, and Ci Guang would definitely be very happy.

Baoyue Building

The two-story building that rose from the ground for Han Xiangjian was still the most magnificent and special building in the palace.

The only difference is that the emperor no longer stays overnight like he did in the first year.

Even though Han Xiangjian took Xiji Pills every day, her figure became more graceful and her appearance more charming, but the emperor's once burning desire to conquer had been completely chilled by Han Xiangjian's cold words.

Han Xiangjian thought that the emperor had fallen at her feet and would unconditionally tolerate and obey her.

So when the emperor conquered the Yu clan and the Daehan clan, she said, maybe the emperor had fallen in love with the beauties there again?

When the emperor won a victory in Burma, she said that the emperor was not ashamed but proud of the fact that the army overwhelmed the enemy and defeated the weak with strength.

When the emperor wrote a birthday poem for the empress dowager, she said that the emperor was only used to making things look festive. If he was truly filial, why would he severely punish the monk who suggested that the empress dowager build a temple?

After pouring cold water on her several times, the emperor finally grabbed Han Xiangjian's chin and warned her sinisterly,

"Don't pour cold water on me anymore. You look just like that bitch from Yikun Palace. If you don't know what's good for you, I will send those Han tribe people from Qifu Temple to Ningguta to keep your Hanqi company."

After saying that, the emperor threw Han Xiangjian’s head heavily to the side, slammed the door and left.

Frightened by the emperor's cruelty, Han Xiangjian sat there for a long time, shuddering with fear.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn't know why she was so miserable. Han Qi, whom she had loved for so many years, deceived and lied to her. Even the emperor, who had been so tolerant of her, would speak ill of her.

She wanted to go home, return to the Han tribe, and be with her people.

In this way, more than a month later, the emperor began to come to Baoyue Tower again.

However, in the emperor's eyes, Han Xiangjian had lost even her original coldness and had completely turned into a wooden beauty.

The Baoyue Tower, which used to be favored and rewarded endlessly, was the most dazzling place in the palace even though it was remote. But now the Baoyue Tower, which has been neglected, has completely become a cold cage.

The Fifth Prince was very happy that day. Han Xiangjian leaned against the window, looking at the candles that were lit all night in the Yanx Palace and the red-topped carriages that were winding out of the palace like a stream of water, and she was lost in thought.

She envied Yun Gege for being a free bird, but she wished she could be a speck of dust and be blown back to Tianshan Mountain by the wind.

At the very least, she hoped to be like the concubines who gathered together that night to see Princess Yun off to her wedding. They seemed to treat Tian Yuner as their own daughter and placed their dreams of freedom on her.

It's a good thing to have something to rely on, but she doesn't have it.

The ladies in the palace gathered together every day, sometimes going to the Yanxi Palace to learn embroidery, sometimes to the Chengqian Palace to eat snacks, and sometimes to the Xianfu Palace to watch magic shows and touch peacocks.

Or she could go to Yongshou Palace to hug little rabbits. As far as she knew, besides her and Concubine Xian, every palace in the harem had a few rabbits.

There are also Ying Da Ying and Ke Da Ying. Although they are of low status and not favored, one makes milk tea for the ladies and the other roasts whole lamb for the ladies. After all, they are no longer despised.

Or, Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu would dance together every day, one would dance the fan dance and the other would dance the Mongolian dance, with Concubine Mei accompanying them. It was really lively.

Han Xiangjian couldn't hide the envy in her eyes. She seemed to understand that it wasn't that others couldn't tolerate her, but that she herself couldn't fit in.

She stood up from the window, stretched her waist, curled her body, and danced the dance she used to do when she was a child.

After that, Han Xiangjian, like the other maidens who served him, also gave the emperor some stimulating drugs.

Others don't know that she had been serving the emperor every day and had long discovered that the emperor was already weak inside. If he used these medicines again, he would be hollowed out inside and out.

Rongzhai

Ling Yunche returned home by himself. Although he did not find the mushroom powder, he was surprised to find that Rong Pei had changed his bedding and pillow, so he no longer had to cover himself with that stinky quilt.

Ling Yunche was secretly delighted. He suddenly felt that it was worth it to be beaten by Rong Pei. Covered with such soft and fragrant bedding, it was worth it even if it meant he would die immediately.
