A few months later, Concubine Hai gave birth to the fifth prince safely. Because the fifth prince was born strong and healthy, the emperor was very happy. He promoted Concubine Hai to concubine and gave her the title of Yu.

Hai Lan held the chubby Yong Qi in her arms and suddenly she no longer cared about the stretch marks on her belly. Those were her medals.

After the confinement period, the emperor summoned Hailan to sleep with him again. When he saw the stretch marks on Hailan's belly, he did not show any disgust, but comforted Hailan:

"Don't be afraid. I know you are timid. You have given birth to children for me and are a hero in the harem. How could I dislike you? I hope you take care of yourself and give birth to a few more princes and princesses for me."

Hai Lan finally let go of her worries. The emperor did not care about her low status, and the ladies in the harem did not ask her to compromise. She raised Yongqi herself, and this was the life she wanted.

When Ruyi in the cold palace heard that Hailan had given birth to a son, she was also happy. She attributed what Hailan said to her that day to Hailan's emotional instability.

She was willing to forgive Hai Lan generously, so she asked Ling Yunche to help her send a copy of the scriptures she had copied to Hai Lan.

Ruyi took out a stack of scriptures from the one given to the empress dowager, wrapped it in cloth, and asked Ling Yunche to ask Hailan to come and see her again.

Hai Lan took a look at the Buddhist scripture sent by Ling Yunche. It was very good. It was the "Infinite Life Sutra" praying for the longevity of the elderly. Ruyi was unwilling to even carefully copy a copy of the scripture for Yongqi.

Hai Lan put it aside and stopped looking at it. Ling Yunche asked dissatisfiedly, "The Princess of the Cold Palace specially sent her heartfelt wishes to the Fifth Prince to wish him a long life. Why does Concubine Yu look unhappy?"

Hai Lan looked at the stupid guard in front of her, "Do you think this is Ruyi's intention? If you can't read, I'll tell you that this is the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Fifth Prince has just turned one month old. No one who doesn't know what's good for him would give him such a thing. My sister just wanted me to know how difficult it was for her to copy the sutras in the cold palace, but she never thought about whether I needed these things. Today you are not me, so you naturally won't understand my feelings. In the future, when these are used on you, you will naturally understand."

Ling Yunche still didn't understand, he thought of what Ruyi said. Yupin was no longer the Hailan of the past, and he couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

For myself and for Ruyi.

Hailan is no longer the Hailan of the past, and Yanwan is no longer the Yanwan of the past.

For a moment, he felt that he and Ruyi were connected in spirit. He bid farewell to Concubine Yu and turned back to the cold palace.

After Concubine Ji died, Ruyi and Rongpei's status in the cold palace improved rapidly because they saved the empress dowager, and they even put on armor again.

So Ruyi planted trumpet creepers all over the yard. Trumpet creepers have extremely strong vitality. For a time, the entire yard of the cold palace was full of trumpet creepers.

Ruyi was among the flowers, admiring the sea of ​​flowers she had planted, and said to Rong Pei who was washing clothes:

"Rong Pei, this is the decent life I want. When all the trumpet creepers are in full bloom, we can pick their petals and make tea."

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and walked to Rong Pei. Seeing Rong Pei washing a large basin of clothes, she said kindly:

"Rong Pei, let me help you hang up your clothes."

Then she gathered up her hands, picked up the clothes, and put them on the rack.

"Pah", the clothes fell off, Ruyi looked at Rong Pei guiltily,

"Rong Pei, I can only trouble you to wash it again."

Rong Pei looked at the armor that her master had put on again, and thought that she, the empress dowager's savior, Baturu, who could compete with Concubine Mei, had her master's armor as her biggest rival in this life.

Every time she found a reason to give away her armor, her master would get a new one.

Rong Pei sighed. She had been alone since she was a child and had never thought about getting married after entering the palace. She believed in fairness and was a bit stubborn. She knew that she had a weird personality and no one wanted to get close to her, so she had always been independent and strong.

Later, her master asked her to be by her side. She was full of gratitude and wanted to repay her master. She had no complaints about going to the cold palace with her master.

But the master really couldn't do anything, and Rong Pei considerately attributed this to the fact that the master was born into the noble Ulanara family, so he had never done any housework.

Thinking of this, she forgave her master and went to wash the clothes herself.

There were too many trumpet creepers in bloom in the cold palace. On that summer night, the palace was filled with mosquitoes. A snake quietly crawled in and entered Ruyi's room.

"Ah! Snake!"

Ruyi's hand was bitten by a snake that crawled in. Rong Pei was about to go up and throw the snake out, but Ruyi covered her hand and shouted:

“Ling Yunche~Ling Yunche!”

Ling Yunche rushed in quickly with a knife. Last time, he missed the best opportunity to save the empress dowager because he was sleeping and was rescued by Rong Pei. Since then, he has had a very light sleep at night, which is why he was able to arrive in time.

"Ruyi, you must suck out this snake venom in time, otherwise it will invade your nerves in a short time."

Rong Pei was surprised: "Guard Ling, but this is a rat snake..."

Ling Yunche interrupted Rong Pei and shouted, "Can't you see your master is in so much pain? Go get a basin of hot water! Quick!"

Rong Pei was angry when Ling Yunche yelled at her, but her master didn't say a word. Rong Pei suspected that Ling Yunche had bad intentions towards her master and decided to take a peek at the door.

Ling Yunche took Ruyi's hand, put it between his thin lips and sucked it, while looking up at Ruyi.

Ruyi had a look of indulging and enjoying herself. She would frown occasionally, but she would quickly lose herself in the pleasure.

Rong Pei's heart trembled. If she continued to stay in the cold palace, something might really happen between her master and Ling Yunche. What would she do if a big mistake was made?

Rong Pei brought back some water and silently wiped Ruyi's wound. The small wound on her hand had turned pink. Ruyi was still savoring the feeling just now, staring blankly without moving.

Rong Pei was angry. What was going on?

"Master, you have also felt it today. Life in the cold palace is indeed hard. Have you ever thought about leaving?"

Ruyi looked at Rong Pei in surprise: "Rong Pei, how could I not want to go out? But you also saw that Ling Yunche took my gift to find Hai Lan, but Hai Lan ignored me. How can I go out?"

Thinking of Hai Lan, Ruyi felt aggrieved. She was sent to the cold palace unjustly, and now Hai Lan misunderstood her. She really had no way to defend herself.

"Rong Pei, when you reminded me today, I was indeed a little unwilling. We must plan this matter carefully. If we become victims as well, with the emperor's pity for me, maybe I can really get out of the cold palace."

Ruyi whispered a few words into Rong Pei's ear, and Rong Pei was stunned. It turned out that her master was not incapable of planning.

On the second day, Ruyi made a pair of insoles by herself and gave them to Ling Yunche without telling Rong Pei to express her gratitude.

By the way, let Ling Yunche help me get some arsenic...
