Ruyi recuperated in her own palace for a few days and felt a little better. During this period, Rong Pei served her.

Ruyi leaned on the couch, her face still a little pale, but her attitude was very firm. She raised her hand slightly and instructed Rong Pei, "Rong Pei, please go and see Ling Yunche for me. I... am really worried about him."

Her child is gone, and the only person she can't let go of now is Ling Yunche.

She couldn't help but watch Ling Yunche get caught up in the vortex of palace fighting because of her.

Rong Pei nodded slightly and agreed directly, "My lady, don't worry, I will go right away."

She knew that her own queen would not be able to get there in time, so it was only natural for her to make the trip on her behalf.

Because he saved the emperor's favorite concubine, Ling Yunche was lucky enough to escape punishment, but his movements were also restricted.

Ling Yunche huddled in the corner of a simple room, wounded all over his body. He leaned against the corner, his heart filled with bitterness.

When he saw Rong Pei coming in, a light flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked behind Rong Pei. However, after discovering that the figure he had been thinking about was not behind her, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

He moved slightly, his voice a little hoarse from not drinking water for a long time, "Aunt Rong Pei, why didn't Concubine Xian come to see me in person?"

This question was asked.

Even though Rong Pei knew she was stupid, she also understood at this moment that the Queen should not get too close to Ling Yunche, otherwise the Emperor would definitely be angry.

Rong Pei sighed, walked to Ling Yunche's bedside, and comforted him softly, "Guard Ling, you also know that there are many people in the harem. The queen has lost her own child in order to plead for you. If she comes to see you in person now, she will definitely be criticized."

After hearing this, Ling Yunche's heart, which had originally been filled with some expectations, felt like it was poured with a bucket of cold water.

Ultimately, he failed to save the Empress' child, and such a good Empress was harmed by the sinister tactics in the harem.

He was silent for a moment. "Is the queen okay? Have you asked Jiang Yubin to come over to see her? What does the emperor plan to do with me?"

"Lord Ling, don't worry. The Queen said that she would find an opportunity to ask the Emperor for help before the end of the southern tour. You just need to take good care of yourself now. Only when you are well, you can slowly make plans in the future and find out who framed you."

Ling Yunche nodded slightly, accepting the answer.

There was gratitude in his eyes. He thought about how much Ruyi had given for him and regretted that he could not do anything for Ruyi. Now he could only let Rong Pei convey his concern to the Empress.

"I hope Aunt Rong Pei will take good care of the queen. The queen has given so much for me. Tell the queen that Ling Yunche will repay the queen in this life!"

After Rong Pei returned, she came to Ruyi and told her what Ling Yunche had said one by one.

The corners of Ruyi's mouth rose slightly, her eyes full of relief. She knew that there was at least one true love in this harem.

She said softly, "I understand. Did the emperor send anyone to check on me while I was resting?"

Rong Pei knew that what her queen wanted to ask was whether the emperor had come, but her answer would ultimately disappoint her queen.

Rong Pei frowned at the side, thinking of the emperor's indifference these days, and couldn't help complaining, "Your Majesty, this emperor is too heartless. You lost your little prince, but he is indifferent. His concern for you is not even as good as that of Guard Ling."

Ruyi's eyes dimmed, and she sighed slightly, "I have long seen through the warmth and coldness of this palace. The emperor's heart has become more and more unpredictable. I thought that the emperor and I knew each other well and could always be in love, but I didn't expect that the emperor was also the kind of person who believed in slander."

Rong Pei looked at Ruyi's lonely expression, and her heartache was almost visible. She didn't understand why the emperor couldn't see his empress whose heart and eyes were filled with him.

"My queen, you must take good care of yourself. You are the only one in the harem who cares about yourself."

Ruyi closed her eyes slightly, as if recalling every detail of the past. She slowly said, "We looked at each other from afar on the wall and horseback, and my heart was broken as soon as I saw you... Your Majesty and I were once as loving as an ordinary couple, but now..."

Rong Pei said softly, "My queen, please stop thinking about these sad things. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to save Master Ling."

She had to find a way to divert her mother's attention.

Hearing Ling Yunche's name, Ruyi finally had some reaction. She slowly opened her eyes with a look of determination, "I will definitely find a way. Ling Yunche is innocent, and I will never let him be implicated by me."

In the following days, Ruyi recuperated while thinking about how to regain the emperor's trust.

She knew the emperor's temper. If she asked directly, it might not work. She had to find a suitable time, a time that could make the emperor soften his heart.

Ling Yunche was in that room, hoping that Ruyi would bring good news every day.

His body was slowly recovering, and no one had tortured him in recent days, as if everyone had forgotten about him, but Ling Yunche's worry never dissipated.

He knew that Ruyi was in a difficult situation in the palace, but he was powerless and could only pray for Ruyi silently in his heart.

Ruyi was also always paying attention to Ling Yunche's condition in the palace. She asked Rong Pei to send some nourishing things to Ling Yunche from time to time, and also sent Jiang Yubin to see Ling Yunche every once in a while.

Jiang Yubi agreed very well on the surface and went to see the doctor obediently. But when he came out, he went straight to the emperor and told him everything without missing a word, how Ruyi asked him to treat Ling Yunche and how she cared about Ling Yunche.

As for Rong Pei.

Every time Rong Pei went, Ling Yunche would ask about Ruyi's situation. He was worried that Ruyi would be overworked because of his affairs, and he was also worried that Ruyi would be bullied by other concubines in the palace.

Jinzhong didn't need to inquire about these things personally, Yuhu had already written them down and told the emperor.

When Jinzhong passed the news to the Queen, Rongyin and Wei Yanwan looked at each other in silence. They really couldn't understand why Ruyi didn't think about how to avoid the limelight at such a critical moment, but instead went straight to Ling Yunche.
