When Jin Yuyan heard the news that A Ruo was hit to death in the Qianqing Palace, she couldn't help but cry along with惢心.

She asked惢心 to go to the Ministry of Punishment to find A Ruo several times and told A Ruo not to admit something she had not done, but in the end she failed to save A Ruo.

"惢心, take the money in my box and go find the people from the Imperial Guards and ask them not to throw Ah Ruo into the mass grave."

Jin Yuyan covered her aching chest and choked up as she said, "Tell them to choose a blessed land for A Ruo and make the grave warmer so that A Ruo won't be so cold anymore."

Suoxin left in tears. A Ruo did not see her for the last time, but she seemed to have heard her last words.

A Ruo must hope that she can live a good life.

Jin Yuyan fell ill, and the disease was so severe that she developed a high fever and was in a coma for several days and nights.

A Ruo's death scared Jin Yuyan. She was afraid that in this life, she still couldn't change the trajectory of her previous life and would lose so many people.

It was more than a month later when Jin Yuyan regained consciousness.

Zhenshu told her that Concubine Chun had given birth to the sixth prince and had been promoted to Concubine Chun, and there was another big happy event in the palace.

The queen was pregnant with a son again.

Jin Yuyan knew that the child was Yongcong. In his previous life, Yongcong died young due to smallpox, which was a great blow to Fu Cha Langya.

Jin Yuyan decided that she must save Yongcong. As long as she could save Yongcong, it would mean that she could still change and save people.

She ignored her own health and asked Zhenshu to find her a book about smallpox. She wanted to know everything about it.

Zhenshu said that after A Ruo's death, the emperor still did not let her family go and raided Gui Duo's house. Gui Duo's family was exiled to Lingnan, and they were probably in great danger.

A Ruo's sister A Xiao served Ruyi's cousin in the Ulanara family. When the family was searched, the Ulanara family wanted to send A Xiao back to Guiduo's house, but Ruyi's mother Langjia protected A Xiao.

When the person entrusted by Guiduo came to Ulanara's mansion to pick up Axiao, Langjia was bandaging Axiao's injured arm. Axiao kowtowed three times and bid farewell to Ulanara's wife Langjia.

She hated Ruyi, but Ruyi's mother had indeed been kind to her, and she had to repay her in the future.

A Xiao followed Ama's friend back home and became the youngest daughter of his family. From then on, she changed her name and was no longer Suo Chuolun.

Zhenshu also told her that Rong Pei, who served Empress Xian, had left the Ministry of Punishment and returned to serve. Jin Yuyan no longer had the heart to care about Rong Pei as she had more important things to do.

Now in her eyes, saving people is more important than punishing them.

In Yikun Palace, Rong Pei was tortured for more than half a month before she came back. This was because Ruyi listened to A Ruo's words and suspected that A Ruo had bewitched Rong Pei in the Ministry of Punishment.

So in order to make Rong Pei feel awe, she let Rong Pei stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a few more days.

When Rong Pei came out, she was already distracted by the torture of being restrained. She even heard Aunt Jingqi say a few words:

"Since I entered the Ministry of Punishment, I have only seen people trying their best to rescue me from the Ministry of Punishment, but this is the first time I have seen someone take the initiative to let me stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a few days. This is really strange."

Rong Pei gritted her teeth and walked back to Yiku Palace step by step. When she entered the Ministry of Punishment, the arsenic poison had not yet completely disappeared. The few days she spent in the Ministry of Punishment left her with a chronic illness.

There was always a dull pain in her lower abdomen, a pain that could not be felt or touched, but which could not be dispelled or cured.

Just like A Ruo's determined, resentful face, always appearing in her mind.

Ah Ruo said, "Rong Pei, if you don't believe me, you can walk with Concubine Xian for a while and see how selfish, hypocritical and heartless she is."

Rong Pei returned to Yikun Palace, and Ruyi stood up to greet her happily: "Rong Pei, you really have returned clean and dignified. After going through all this, we will have a good life in the future."

Rong Pei nodded: "Master is right, there won't be so much bitterness in the future, and the rest will be sweet."

These words seemed to be comforting Ruyi, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

Ruyi smiled and fanned herself, saying, "Do you know who we should thank for all this?"

Rong Pei shook her head.

Ruyi said: "You should thank Ling Yunche. If he hadn't sent you the soapberry, how could you have had the courage to endure the punishment?"

"Rong Pei, Ling Yunche has done us a favor, so just make a pair of boots and we can give them to him."

Rong Pei felt a chill when she thought of what Ling Yunche said to her in the Ministry of Punishment. Every word was clearly a threat and warning.

But Ling Yunche did save her and her master from the fire. Rong Pei nodded and decided to make this pair of boots to repay the favor.

But it is hard to tell the difference between gratitude and resentment. Gratitude must be repaid, and resentment must also be avenged.

That day, Ruyi called Ling Yunche to Yikun Palace again and took out the boots made by Rong Pei.

"I have been in the cold palace for so long that you have taken care of me. I don't know how to thank you, so I made a pair of boots for you with cloud patterns on them. Firstly, it is in keeping with your name, and secondly, I hope you will rise to a higher position."

Ruyi did not mention who made the boots in every word.

Ling Yunche naturally thought that this was made by Ruyi herself and took it happily.

When Ling Yunche returned home at night, he turned the inside of his boots and saw that the cloud pattern on the boots was actually the Ruyi Cloud Pattern.

He chanted in his mouth: "Ruyi, Ruyi. Yun, Lingyunche."

A warm current ran through his whole body. So, this is what the master meant.

Ling Yunche couldn't wait to put on the boots, wanting to try out how comfortable they were.

"what!"

The pain in the soles of Ling Yunche's feet made him spasm, tremble, and break out in cold sweats.

There was actually a needle left on the sole of the boot. It was not long, but extremely thick. When Ling Yunche wore it, he didn't feel it through the socks, but as soon as his foot stepped on the ground, the needle immediately pierced the sole and came out.

Ling Yunche's enthusiasm for Ruyi was suddenly diluted a lot.

He knew that Ruyi didn't mean it, but he was indeed hurt by Ruyi's carelessness, so he was unwilling to forgive Ruyi easily.

He thought about it and locked the boots in his box.

In Yikun Palace, Rong Pei finally smiled after a long absence.

Her master asked her to make boots for Ling Yunche, and she couldn't refuse, but she had to make Ling Yunche feel pain, so she deliberately left a needle.

This was just a small attempt on her part. Rong Pei was not a delicate girl.

She once protected her master and fought against Concubine Mei, and also saved the Queen Mother from the cold palace. The Queen Mother even praised her as a female Baturu.

Thinking of the Queen Mother, Rong Pei couldn't help but blame herself for being stupid. This time when she entered the Ministry of Punishment, she could have asked the Queen Mother for help...
