Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Chapter 155: You don’t believe me, but you’re still asking?

Ruyi sat quietly in her bedroom, her eyes empty and her face haggard.

She was saddened by the loss of her child yet surprisingly calm.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurried over and knelt in front of Ruyi with a terrified look on his face.

"My lady, this is terrible. Aunt Rong Pei was beaten to death."

Ruyi's body trembled slightly and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself calm.

The palace maids and eunuchs who helped frame Rong Yin also had different endings.

Some were executed as a warning to others; some were exiled to guard the imperial tombs, never to return to the capital; others lingered on in the deep palace and were transferred to other positions, living in fear all day long, lest their past crimes be exposed.

Rongyin's action this time really left Ruyi with no one left to use.

At this time, the emperor came to visit in a hurry.

There was a trace of fatigue and worry on his face. Looking at Ruyi's pale face, a feeling of pity surged in his heart.

"Ruyi, please calm down a bit these days and stop making trouble."

There was a hint of helplessness in the emperor's tone.

Ruyi slowly raised her head, her eyes showing no sadness or joy. She asked the emperor calmly, "You have taken away my child and my loyal servant. What else does your Majesty want to do?"

This is directly blamed on the emperor.

The emperor felt sorry for Ruyi because she had just lost her child and was unwilling to argue with her.

He walked to Ruyi, gently held her hand, and tried to give her some warmth.

"Ruyi, I know you are sad, but this has already happened and cannot be undone. Just take care of yourself and stop thinking about it."

However, Ruyi persisted and refused to give up.

"Your Majesty, you have already said that some things cannot be undone once they have happened. So I beg you to let Ling Yunche go. You should know whether he is innocent or not."

"After all, this matter is related to the concubines in the harem, and no matter how you look at it, it cannot be forgiven lightly. But I beg the emperor to spare his life for my sake."

"It can be considered as accumulating blessings for you and my deceased child."

Rong Pei's death was just revealed so lightly? Ruyi didn't even ask a single question.

The emperor sighed, let go of Ruyi's hand, and turned his back.

"Ruyi, no matter whether Ling Yunche is innocent or not, this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family after all, and I cannot let him off lightly. If I let Ling Yunche off, it will be difficult to explain to the harem."

Ruyi looked at the emperor's resolute back, her heart filled with despair. She knew that she had no way to bring Ling Yunche back to the palace, and she also knew that she could not protect him even if she brought him back to the palace.

But she was unwilling to give up.

"Your Majesty, since you cannot bring Ling Yunche back to the palace and restore his position, then let him stay in Mulan Paddock to do hard labor. I only ask Your Majesty to spare his life."

Ruyi thought that she had made the biggest concession at this time. When she had established a firm foothold in the harem in the future, she would take him back. It was only a matter of time.

The emperor thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.

But a seed of doubt was planted in her heart. What ability did Ling Yunche have that could make Ruyi always care about him and even ask for mercy several times?

He waved his sleeves and left.

"Ruyi, I will do as you say and let Ling Yunche stay in Mulan Paddock to do hard labor. But you must also remember not to cause trouble again."

Jinzhong watched the emperor's back as he left, and hurriedly followed him, "Your Majesty, do you want to go sit with the imperial concubine? The imperial concubine knows that you have been tired these days, so she specially prepared the best flower tea and composed a song for you."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally decided to go find Gao Xiyue.

"Show off."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of taking her away, Li Yu decided to stay and comfort Ruyi.

"Your Highness, please don't be too sad. The Emperor is just angry for a while, and he will definitely change his mind after some time. I will help you pay more attention to the news from the Emperor in the future. Please take care of yourself first and don't think about anything else."

Ruyi smiled bitterly, tears glistening in her eyes.

"I looked at you from afar on the wall and on the horse. I was heartbroken when I saw you. The emperor has changed. He is no longer the same person he was before."

Li Yu felt sorry for her, but he didn't know how to comfort Ruyi.

He could only stand aside silently, watching Ruyi's sad appearance, his heart full of helplessness, thinking that if惢心 were here, she would definitely be able to comfort Ruyi at this time.

As time went by, Ruyi often thought of Ling Yunche during her recovery period, and recalled the little things they had experienced together. At this time, she also realized that although the years in the cold palace were difficult, at least she was mentally fulfilled.

She didn't know how Ling Yunche would react when he found out that he would be forced to do hard labor in Mulan Paddock with his life. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that he would be safe.

Don't implicate any innocent people because of yourself.

And the emperor has been staying with Gao Xiyue since he left Ruyi's bedroom that day.

He didn't have the courage to look for the Queen, nor did he want to see Ruyi, which made him let his imagination run wild over and over again.

It would be better to stay with Gao Xiyue. Although Gao Xiyue is a little spoiled sometimes, she is innocent and pure with a beautiful appearance, which makes the emperor temporarily forget the troubles brought by Ruyi.

But there is always a place for Ruyi in his heart.

He knew the grievances and pain in Ruyi's heart, but as an emperor, he could not compromise easily.

However, the emperor was still suspicious about Ruyi's fall from the boat.

Rong Pei's heart-wrenching complaint that day still made him hesitate. He tried to find out whether the Queen was behind this matter.

The emperor was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, but his mind drifted to Ruyi's fall from the boat.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Xiyue, pretending to be calm, "My noble concubine, I have been thinking carefully about the incident of Concubine Xian falling from the ship recently, and I am very confused. Tell me, is the Queen involved in this matter?"

Gao Xiyue's heart trembled, she knew very well the importance of this matter.

She began to know that Ruyi had even given up the dragon fetus in her belly in order to save a guard, and she wanted to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit for her.

However, in order to avoid trouble, she stayed where she was and did not even go out to inquire about the situation.

Later, when she heard that the evil slave around Concubine Xian almost harmed the Empress, she wished she could kill Rong Pei with her own hands.

However, this was a time of great turmoil, and she suppressed her worries. She only said a few words of concern when the concubines went to pay their respects to the Queen, and she did not dare to sit next to the Queen in private.

I heard that the Queen Mother sought justice for herself.

If the Empress had not stood up and insisted on dealing with Rong Pei, I am afraid that the Emperor would be concerned that the evil slave was Concubine Xian's man, and would have lifted him up high and put him down gently.

Now the emperor actually asked such a question? It is unprecedented to be so biased.

She answered without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that the Empress has nothing to do with this matter."

The emperor frowned slightly, understood something of what he said, and motioned Gao Xiyue to continue.

Gao Xiyue calmed herself down and did not try to avoid the matter just because she had a close relationship with the queen. Instead, she began to sort out the matter from the perspective of an outsider.

"Your Majesty, the incident of Concubine Xian falling from the ship happened suddenly, and I was also deeply shocked when I first learned about it. But the Empress has always been dignified and virtuous, and governs the harem with benevolence. She would never do such a sinister thing."

"Besides, the Queen is now in charge of the six palaces and is very busy, so why would she harm Concubine Xian? Moreover, if this was really done by the Queen, there would definitely be clues left, but there is no clue now."

This was the experience Gao Xiyue had accumulated while assisting in managing the six palaces these days. She learned to answer questions calmly and calmly. If it were her in the past, she would have pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him.

It wasn't like the Empress stole the bellyband and forced it on Ling Yunche, nor was it like the Empress forced Ruyi to run over with a big belly and stand in front of Ling Yunche out of self-admiration, nor was it like the Empress asked Ruyi to act like a couple in trouble.

The emperor's woman risked her own life and the dragon fetus to save a guard?

No one would believe this if they heard it.

Ruyi is still lying there recuperating, and the Emperor doesn't want to take off his green hat. He even has the nerve to ask whether this matter has anything to do with the Empress?

She said "I have no idea" but it gave the emperor enough face.

Gao Xiyue paused, then continued, "I think this might be an accident, or maybe Rong Pei, who was beside Concubine Xian, had someone put too much oil on the bed, so she failed to harm the Empress, but harmed her master instead."

"But it definitely couldn't be the Empress. The Empress has always been fair and just, and treats everyone in the harem equally. If the Empress really wanted to harm Concubine Xian, she wouldn't have made it known to everyone. It's even more shameful than losing her bellyband."

Unable to hold it in any longer, Gao Xiyue uttered a small curse at the end.

As the emperor listened to Gao Xiyue's analysis, his doubts gradually dissipated.

He nodded slightly, "My Lady, what you said makes sense. I don't believe the Queen would do such a thing."

Gao Xiyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I believe that as long as Your Majesty investigates this matter thoroughly, you will be able to clear the Empress' name."

In my heart: "Bah, you're asking if you don't believe me."

After Gao Xiyue's analysis, the emperor's doubts about the queen were largely eliminated.

As the days passed, Ruyi's health gradually recovered.

She began to re-examine her situation in the deep palace. She knew that if she wanted to survive in the deep palace, she had to become stronger.

She began to plan secretly and look for opportunities to fight for a chance of survival for herself and Ling Yunche.

Where is that opportunity?
