Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

Chapter 40: Ruyi Leaves the Cold Palace and Takes a Petal Bath

In the harem of Aisin-Gioro Hongli, another murder occurred.

Four years ago, Ruyi was sent to the cold palace. There were many doubts, and there was also an element of anger between him and Ruyi. Although he seldom thought of Ruyi in these four years, it did not mean that he would tolerate such a dirty thing.

"My Queen Mother, what do you think about this matter?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Ruyi. The fire and the arsenic came from strange places. She had been immersed in the palace for decades and could not tell for a moment whether this was a self-torture tactic or a real murder.

"Emperor, more than a year ago, I came to the cold palace to investigate the paper money issue. This servant girl beside Ruyi once saved my life. I think Ruyi is not a vicious person, and there must be some hidden story behind the previous incident. Let her leave the cold palace first."

The emperor arranged Ruyi and Rongpei in Yikun Palace, and asked Lingzhi and Yunzhi to go back to serve them.

He also asked Yu Hu to investigate the fire in the cold palace and the poisoning of Concubine Xian today, and to make sure that the person responsible must be severely punished.

In Yikun Palace, Rong Pei and Ruyi have both woken up. Ruyi holds Rong Pei's hand in surprise:

"Rong Pei, you and I succeeded. We succeeded."

Rong Pei was also happy in her heart, as she felt that she had not been poisoned in vain.

Upon learning that Ruyi was poisoned and there was a fire in the cold palace, Fucha Langya felt deeply derelict in her duty and asked Lianxin to send many rewards and supplements to comfort Ruyi.

Ruyi flipped through the things Fucha Langya sent her and smiled coldly at Rong Pei:

"Rong Pei, see? This is the Queen's way of winning people's hearts. She gave these gold, silver, jewelry and supplements just to show her generosity. There is no intention at all. It's simply hypocritical."

Rong Pei was weak at this time, and could only agree: "Yes, Master is right, Master is smart."

Lingzhi found this strange. The Queen knew that her mistress had just been released from the cold palace and had no savings or money, so she sent gold and silver. How could this be hypocritical?

Because Ruyi took less arsenic, she recovered faster than Rong Pei. Ten days later, Rong Pei's lower abdomen was still aching slightly.

The night wind was blowing, and snowflakes were falling all over the ground. Ruyi touched a box of pearl powder sent by the Queen. She called Lingzhi and Yunzhi, saying that she wanted to take a bath and be reborn in the water.

Ruyi's bath water is made from peach branches, willow leaves, lilac flowers and pearl powder. She wants to wash away the bad luck of the cold palace.

Rong Pei endured the pain in her stomach and helped Ruyi take a bath. Rong Pei's hands were covered with frostbite, which were left from washing clothes in the winter when she was in the cold palace.

Perhaps her hands were too rough and hurt Ruyi in the bathtub. Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "Rongpei, please apply some pearl powder on your hands. Otherwise, my maid's hands will be covered with frostbite, which is not decent."

After saying that, Ruyi pouted, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warm water enveloping her.

Ruyi's expression was confused, and it was easy to think that she had defecated underwater.

Rong Pei served her master tirelessly, thinking that life would be better in the future, and that she would share the joys and sorrows with her master, and that her master would treat her well.

Thinking of this, she massaged her master more seriously, her heart full of anticipation.

The next day, Ruyi waited for Hailan to come and see her. Now she no longer resented Hailan for being favored. As long as Hailan still came to rely on her, she would forgive her generously. They were still good sisters.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor listened to Yu Hu's investigation results, which showed that the arsenic poison was in the food. Yu Hu checked the person who delivered the food to the cold palace from the imperial kitchen, and found out that it was A Ruo who falsely accused Ruyi.

This further proved Ruyi's innocence. The emperor waved his hand and announced to all the palaces that Ruyi was reinstated as a concubine.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hu explained that A Ruo only admitted to setting fire to the cold palace and would never admit to poisoning Ruyi's food, and she refused to change her statement even after being tortured in the Ministry of Punishment.

Logically speaking, if it was really A Ruo who did it, she would have already committed a serious crime and would not deny the charge of poisoning. This made the emperor suspect that someone else had poisoned her.

The most suspicious person is Rong Pei, who was beside Ruyi. Before Ruyi was sent to the cold palace, the emperor had never seen this maid beside Ruyi.

It is really suspicious that this palace maid actually saved the Queen Mother in the cold palace.

"Yu Hu, go to Yikun Palace and take Rong Pei, who was beside Concubine Xian, to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. We must find out who poisoned her."

When Yu Hu came to Yikun Palace to take Rong Pei away, Ruyi moved a chair and was admiring the scenery of Yikun Palace, which was much better than her original Yanxi Palace.

The Yikun Palace has been the residence of the favorite concubine since the Qing Dynasty came to the pass. For a time, she was more certain of her position in the emperor's heart.

Rong Pei endured the stomachache and served in the back. Her master didn't notice her pain at all, which made her feel a little disappointed.

"Empress Xian, Rong Pei, who is beside you, is suspected of poisoning you with arsenic. The emperor ordered me to take Rong Pei to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment. Please cooperate."

When Ruyi heard this, she panicked. It was clearly found out that it was A'ruo who set the fire. The arsenic could be put on A'ruo. What if Rong Pei couldn't bear the punishment and confessed?

Or maybe Rong Pei implicated Ling Yunche, what should we do then.

Ruyi looked at Rong Pei, her eyes full of inquiry and inquiry. How could Rong Pei not know what her master was thinking? Someone had to take responsibility for this matter, but she had not yet figured out how to say it.

Rong Pei believed that the master would find a way to rescue her, so she stood up and said firmly:

"I have never done anything like this, so I dare to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be punished."

Ruyi was also moved. She knew that Rong Pei was so loyal and would definitely not betray her.

She smiled faintly, maintaining her calm appearance: "Rong Pei, I will rescue you as soon as possible."

Ruyi felt that there was no time to lose and she had to see the emperor as soon as possible. She asked Lingzhi to bring the white jade shuang square cake to visit the emperor in the Qianqing Palace.

A few years had passed, and Ruyi hadn't been to the Qianqing Palace for a long time. She was a little dazed. Li Yu, who was standing in the corridor, came forward with a smile:

"Empress Xian, you are finally back. I have been thinking about you day and night and looking forward to this day."

Mao Qian, who was also on duty, heard this and turned to Jin Zhong and said, "Your master is the emperor's eunuch and the servant of Empress Xian."

Jinzhong looked at his master in confusion. His master clearly had a bright future, so why did he keep doing outrageous things for the sake of Empress Xian?

When Ruyi saw Li Yu, she thought of Ling Yunche. These two people were her confidants, and Li Yu had already achieved the supreme position among eunuchs.

Even though the cold palace was burned down, Ling Yunche was still on standby. A man like him should not have ended up like this.

Ruyi wants to seek a future for Ling Yunche.

She had forgotten that she came to plead for Rong Pei.

"Ruyi, are you feeling better? You are so cold, so come and see me."

When Ruyi saw the emperor, her heart melted into a ball. The emperor really cared about her.

She handed over the white jade frost square cake and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the cold palace guard Ling Yunche has saved the Empress Dowager's life and also saved my life. I want to ask for a better future for him."

The emperor looked at Ruyi and asked in confusion: ...
