When Ruyi returned, she sat aside without saying a word. 惢心 asked worriedly, "My Lord, what did the Emperor say?"

"Why is there a seven-treasure bracelet on my dressing table? The emperor said that the assassin who escaped from Yikun Palace that day was Master Anduo, and he suspected that I had an affair with Master Anduo."

Ruyi spoke calmly.

惢心 thought to herself that something was not right. The last time such a misunderstanding happened, Ruyi and she were locked up in the cold palace for three years. Why was it another frame-up this time?

"Master, we have been framed. Have you explained it to the emperor? You have been..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ruyi. "I have said everything I should say. It is up to the emperor to choose whether to believe it or not. I will not do anything unnecessary. Moreover, I also want to see if the emperor, who has misunderstood me once, will make me sad again."

Suoxin was speechless.

Rong Pei felt really bad for Ruyi at this time. "Your Majesty shouldn't not believe the Empress. Your Majesty knew that the Empress was innocent. How could he let Yu Hu take out the bracelet and give others the opportunity to attack the Empress? Your Majesty still disappointed the Empress."

"Is this a disappointing thing? Now the Ulanara family can no longer be relied upon. The only thing your majesty can rely on is the emperor's favor and trust. What you should do now is to explain it well and not let people misunderstand you, instead of using this matter to test the emperor!"

No matter how good-tempered she was on weekdays, she couldn't stand the confusing remarks made by the two of them.

What's more, the Emperor is being tested!

Ruyi frowned. She found that惢心's words had become more and more unpleasant to the ear these days. Or had she already developed second thoughts about him?

惢心 has been following Ruyi since she entered the palace. She has been loyal all the way and has never had any thoughts of betrayal. Moreover, when Ruyi was imprisoned in the cold palace for three years, she was the one who followed her and served her. The two of them survived many life-and-death situations and finally got out.

But now there is really no way to waste another three years. Ruyi has no intention of vying for favor. Even towards the emperor's love, she acts as if it doesn't matter, as if the emperor is begging her to do it.

The strange and sweet love between Ruyi and the emperor ended up with the servants being the ones who suffered.

"That's enough,惢心." Ruyi used her master's dignity and temper to scold惢心, "You go down first."

Suo Xin could only go down temporarily, leaving Rong Pei alone to serve Ruyi. She was not in the mood to stay here with them and wait for the result.

After the Empress Dowager received the news, she sent Fujia to warn the Emperor, and the Emperor simply followed the Empress Dowager's wishes.

He knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Ruyi was not good, but Ruyi was almost wronged this time. He couldn't just ignore everything, but he also couldn't let the relationship between the people around him and Ruyi become closer and closer.

After all, this matter has not completely confirmed Ruyi's innocence.

The emperor frowned after taking a look at Li Yu, who almost always spoke for Ruyi.

"Let Jinzhong in."

Li Yu responded. He had discovered a few days ago that Jinzhong was not a well-behaved kid. He kept trying to get close to the emperor, hoping to gain his favor and replace himself.

He had not arranged for him to serve the emperor these days, but had asked him to guard outside. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually thought of Jinzhong at this time. Although Li Yu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything to refuse.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Yu walked out of the hall and looked at Jinzhong standing there obediently. For some reason, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart.

Jinzhong didn't react. He looked at Li Yu and took a few quick steps forward, "Master."

His attitude was so respectful and honest that even Li Yu, who had been with the emperor for such a long time, could not find any improprieties in the etiquette.

In the end, he could only look at him coldly and said, "The emperor asked you to come in. He has something to tell you."

Jinzhong roughly understood what was going on. He didn't care about Li Yu's attitude towards him at this time. He smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Master."

Then he went straight in to pay his respects to the emperor.

"Jinzhong, take a few people to the Yikun Palace and don't disturb Concubine Xian. Take Suo Xin who is beside her to the Shenxing Division and ask her in person. Ask her everything you need to know and then come back to me."

Jinzhong felt a little relieved and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." It seemed that this matter was indeed handed over to him.

After he went out, he picked out a few eunuchs and followed him to the Yikun Palace in a grand manner.

As they were passing by, the people sent by the Queen Mother arrived first.

"Aunt Fujia, what does this mean?" Ruyi slowly turned her head and looked at the maids standing in front of her, including Fujia, who had always been beside the empress dowager and was the most trusted by her.

Fujia bowed and said, "In reply to Concubine Xian, these smart maids were specially sent by the Queen Mother to take care of you. You don't need to worry too much. This is also the Queen Mother's kindness to you."

After saying this, Fujia glanced at the Nanny Jingqi who was following behind him. They immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward to take over all the matters in the Yikun Palace.

The level of detail was so great that even the position of the palace maid who was fanning Ruyi behind her was taken over.

Rong Pei seemed to want to say something, but when she thought of her previous experience in the Ministry of Punishment, her legs and feet began to ache.

Suo Xin took a step back with a worried look on her face.

"Does the emperor know?" This was the first sentence Ruyi asked.

Fujia nodded, "Of course the emperor knows about this matter, and the emperor agrees."

She calculated the time and thought that the emperor should have sent someone over by now.

It was true that when you mention Cao Cao, there he is. Jinzhong had already brought his men into the gate of Yikun Palace.

"Your servant greets the Empress Xian." Jinzhong smiled and turned to look at Fujia who was standing beside him. This aunt was a favorite of the Empress Dowager. Although they did not have much interaction on weekdays, Jinzhong would definitely not offend her at this time. "Your servant greets Aunt Fujia."

Ruyi looked at the eunuchs behind Jinzhong and finally became impatient. "Why? Are these people also sent by the emperor to serve me?"

Jinzhong raised his eyebrows. This Concubine Xian was really tactless. Even at this time, she still thought that there would be someone willing to serve her?

"To answer your question, the Yikun Palace was attacked by assassins and the seven-treasure bracelet was found in your palace. In order to help you clear your suspicion, the Emperor specially asked me to bring Miss Suo Xin, who is beside you, to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning."

Jinzhong glanced at the pale-faced Suoxin and said, "Miss Suoxin, if you explain clearly what happened some time ago, it will also prove the innocence of the queen. This is the painstaking effort of His Majesty for you."

Suoxin can be considered an old hand in the palace, how could she not know what kind of place the Shenxingsi is?

She looked at Ruyi with a pale face. Ruyi didn't react and remained indifferent. She sat there for a while, as if digesting Jinzhong's words.

After figuring it out, she slowly looked at惢心, "惢心, just go with them. I believe you can prove my innocence. Don't be afraid, I will find a way to rescue you as soon as possible."

Suo Xin paused for a moment, the smile on her face seemed a little forced, "I will go, your Majesty, don't worry."

Jinzhong felt extremely puzzled. This惢心 was the eldest maid of the Xin generation. She was Concubine Xian's confidant who had been serving her since Concubine Xian was still in the palace. Why wasn't Concubine Xian in a hurry at all now?

When he brought his people here, he was prepared in his mind that Concubine Xian would stop him or refuse, but he didn't expect this trip to be so easy.

But he did not delay any longer, after all, the person had already been received. "I will not disturb Concubine Xian any more. Aunt Fujia, I will go and report now."

Ruyi nodded lightly without saying another word. She seemed to feel particularly tired, and with Nanny Jingqi following her, she let Rong Pei help her go back to rest.

After finishing her business, Aunt Fujia went back to the Queen Mother.

Suoxin followed Jinzhong step by step and walked out, feeling that her steps were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
