At the gate of the cold palace, Hai Lan held Ruyi's hand and sobbed softly, "Sister, I don't know what to do without you. I don't know how to face the Queen and Concubine Hui."

Ruyi comforted her, "Hai Lan, I am in the cold palace now. I can't protect you. You have to protect yourself. You have to find a way to gain favor. Only then can you improve your status."

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi in surprise. Ever since the emperor forced her to favor him after drinking, she has been afraid of the emperor. When she sees the emperor, she feels cold all over and can't help shivering. Her sisters all know this.

"Sister, you know I'm afraid of the emperor. I don't dare."

Ruyi sighed and said, "Hai Lan, the emperor is not what you think. If you don't have his favor, what will you do in the future? You have to work hard to have a prince, so that we can have someone to rely on."

Hailan was still very embarrassed. She stammered and dared not speak. She originally thought that her loyalty to her sister would allow her to do anything, but now she was scared away by fear.

On the one hand, Ruyi was happy that Hailan had no feelings for the emperor and was only loyal to her. On the other hand, she wanted Hailan to be more powerful so that she could rescue herself. But now, it seemed that Hailan could not be persuaded, and she could only give up temporarily.

"Hai Lan, did you bring me a new set of armor this time?"

Hailan shook her head and took out her purse, which contained all the money she had saved.

"Sister, take this money. It will make your life easier in the cold palace. I can't find any armor. I am not worthy of wearing it."

Ruyi took the money and sighed again, thinking that Hailan was still not decent enough.

On the second day, Rong Pei and Ruyi had another disagreement. Rong Pei wanted to continue using the money to exchange for food, while Ruyi wanted to buy a new set of armor and use the remaining money to exchange for food. Although Rong Pei did not dare to argue with Ruyi, she held the purse tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing that the two were unable to decide who was better for a long time, Ling Yunche said:

"There is actually another way to keep you eating well. In the palace, there are often maids doing embroidery work and then taking it out of the palace to exchange for some money. You can also do it. I will sell it for you and you can get a lot of money."

Ruyi's eyes lit up. She could use the money to buy better armor.

"Ling Yunche, could you please use this money to buy us some needlework, silk and other things? We can do embroidery to earn money, and then..."

Rong Pei answered first: "Then change for more food!"

Ling Yunche was naturally willing to do so, as this way he could earn more money from it. After all, the people inside didn't know the market conditions outside.

But Ling Yunche couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with Rong Pei. She only cared about eating. Look at Master Yi, he was worthy of being a master, so noble and dignified.

Ling Yunche exchanged needles and thread for Ruyi and the others. Ruyi was slow at sewing, so Rong Pei did most of the work.

Ruyi finally realized the benefits of Rong Pei, so she was responsible for giving the embroidered items to Ling Yunche, and then letting Ling Yunche replace various things with them.

Ling Yunche felt embarrassed for earning too much money from them, so he secretly bought a pair of copper armor for Ruyi. Ruyi cried with joy when she received it, and happily wore it to tend to the trumpet creepers.

Seeing Ruyi happily planting flowers in the cold palace, Concubine Ji couldn't help but praise her: "Ruyi, you are really different from them."

Ruyi likes others to praise her for being different. She turned around and smiled coquettishly:

"When this trumpet creeper blooms, I'll send it to you."

Concubine Ji sneered. She didn't want to see any trumpet creeper. She had spent half her life in the cold palace, and now seeing Ruyi again, she had understood that no matter how beautiful the women in the harem were, as long as the emperor didn't like them, they would be told to get out of here as soon as possible.

All her old friends have passed away, and she no longer wants to live.

But before leaving, she wanted to take Niuhulu away.

In Qixiang Palace, Jin Yuyan had a dream. In the dream, she saw Imperial Noble Consort Shujia again.

"Jin Yuyan, you are doing well now. You will soon meet your first son. He is a blessed man. This is the blessing you have accumulated for the good things you have done in this life."

Jin Yuyan said in distress, "But there is one thing I don't know what to do. The Empress and Concubine Hui have both been cured of their diseases under my careful guidance. Even the Emperor has become a little different. But Hai Lan won't wake up no matter what I say. Can you teach me what to do?"

Imperial Noble Consort Shujia was also having a headache. She thought for a moment and said, "Jin Yuyan, this Hailan is different from you. You all have your own flesh and blood, but her soul is the evil incarnation of Ruyi. So whatever evil Ruyi wants to do, she will do it. Ruyi can stand on a high ground and blame others cleanly. She will even condemn Hailan when necessary. You have to let her own soul grow flesh and blood and become a complete person."

Jin Yuyan looked up and asked, "I don't understand. I'm not Nuwa. How can I let her soul grow by itself?"

Imperial Noble Consort Shujia waved her hand, and a progress bar appeared in the air.

"Jin Yuyan, do you see this green bar in front of you? The number on it is zero now. As long as it reaches one hundred, Hailan will be restored to a normal person. I will tell you how to give Hailan a soul. It is to use the emotions she has now: fear, sympathy, and resistance."

Jin Yuyan repeated these words silently: "Fear, sympathy and resistance."

Imperial Noble Consort Shujia left the last words: "The road ahead is long and arduous, you will have to search for it up and down."

Jin Yuyan came to her senses in an instant. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and go find Hailan to see if the emotion of fear would work.

In the Yanxi Palace, Jin Yuyan came with two large ginsengs. Seeing Hai Lan looking sad in the side hall, she knew that Hai Lan must have been bewitched by Ruyi again in the cold palace.

Hai Lan finally understood the rules and stood up to salute, "Empress Jia, why are you here?"

Jin Yuyan held Suo Xin's hand and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Hai Changzai, did you go to the cold palace to see Ruyi again?"

Hai Lan looked up in surprise, her face full of tears, "How did Concubine Jia know? Please don't tell the Queen, I beg you."

Jin Yuyan snorted coldly, "Not only do I know that you went to the cold palace, I also know that Ruyi persuaded you to accept the emperor's favor, and let you be loved by the emperor, and also let you give birth to a prince to rely on, right?"

Hailan was even more surprised. She had a vague idea that Jin Yuyan might have bribed someone in the cold palace to harm her sister, but she still said honestly:

"Empress Jiapin, you are right. My sister did persuade me to do so, but seeing that I was unwilling, she did not force me."

Jin Yuyan looked at the stupid Hailan in front of her and was speechless for a moment, but when she saw the green progress bar above Hailan's head with a zero, she still used the Yo technique.

"Oh, Hai Changzai is so easily satisfied. Everyone in the palace knows that you were an embroiderer and were favored by the drunken emperor. That's why you have always been afraid of the emperor. Even the queen understands. She arranged for Wan Changzai to serve as a clerk, but she never forced you."

Hai Lan was even more upset when she heard about the past. This was a nightmare in her heart and the reason why she didn't want to be favored. Whenever she thought of that night, she was scared to death. "Empress Jiapin, why are you bringing this up?"
