惢心’s determination to leave became more and more determined. She could not understand Ruyi’s train of thought, and even had a terrible idea - if one day, she or Jiang Yubin was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment or punished for protecting Ruyi, Ruyi would not help them to plead for mercy.

She knelt there without saying a word, trying to minimize her presence.

The Queen Mother doesn't want to care what Ruyi thinks. If she just wanted to hold Ruyi accountable at the beginning, it's different now.

She wanted to let the emperor know who had passed the news from Khorchin to her, and let the emperor know how much ill will his childhood sweetheart had towards Fucha.

The news that Ruyi was forced to kneel in the Empress Dowager's palace spread quickly. The Emperor was able to find out about it so quickly thanks to Li Yu.

"Why did Ruyi go to the Empress Dowager for no reason?" The Emperor frowned. For the first time, he felt that Ruyi's actions were unnecessary. "Could it be that she went there to show her filial piety to me?"

Li Yu looked anxious, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is very angry now, you should hurry over to save Concubine Xian."

Although the emperor felt a little strange, he didn't say anything. The empress dowager didn't like Ruyi in the first place, and at this time Ruyi bumped into her without caring about anything, so she was bound to be punished.

He must get there quickly.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor who had returned and couldn't help but sneer, "Is the Emperor not busy with government affairs now?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed, but he still felt a little distressed when he saw Ruyi kneeling beside him with a confused look on her face.

"Princess Xian, how did you offend the Empress Dowager? You are still kneeling here. If it gets out, what will people in the palace think of the Empress Dowager?"

The emperor gave Ruyi an exit, but Ruyi did not walk down the stairs. She slowly raised her head with a stubborn look on her face, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong, but the queen mother must have her reasons for punishing me. I am willing to plead guilty."

After saying this, not only the Queen Mother, but even the Emperor frowned. Ruyi...

Before the emperor could speak, the empress dowager instantly understood that Ruyi had not told the emperor what she had done, and the emperor was probably still thinking that Ruyi was the innocent white lotus.

The Queen Mother sneered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian told me that you were hesitating between marrying Hengti or Hejing, and she gave me advice, asking me to spread the news that you were going to marry Hengti, so as to strike a blow to the Queen."

The emperor was stunned and looked at Ruyi with some disbelief.

The Queen Mother still felt that it was not enough, so she gave another push, "Concubine Xian wants to get my help, and take back the power of assisting the six palaces by taking advantage of He Jing's marriage to the Queen. With time and your favor, when Fu Cha's health is not good, it will only be a matter of time before she replaces her."

The Emperor thought that the Queen Mother had planted a thorn in his side, and even suspected Yihuan, but he never expected that in the end it was Ruyi, whom he trusted the most, who had been passing on the message.

The Queen Mother knew that she could not keep Hengti and could not defeat the Queen, but she also could not let Ruyi comfortably hide in this incident.

"I lost. I can't keep Hengchui or Hengti. I accept it." The Queen Mother stared at the Emperor like a poisonous snake. "But I lost because I trusted Concubine Xian. Your Majesty, take your people and leave."

After saying that, the Queen Mother left, leaving the space to the two of them.

"Ruyi..."

"emperor."

At this moment, Ruyi still had no intention of explaining. She just knelt there, looking at the young man with aggrieved eyes.

The emperor was confused. "Go back to your Yikun Palace first. I will send someone to investigate whether this matter has anything to do with you."

As the saying goes, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.

At this time, Ruyi still did not realize how serious the matter was. She was even thinking about whether she could take this opportunity to ask the emperor whether he wanted to marry Hengti or Hejing when the emperor came to see her in the evening, and get back at the empress dowager.

When Gao Xiyue came to report to Rongyin what had happened in the harem during these days, she was incredulous when she heard that Ruyi had taken the initiative to complain to the Empress Dowager and even suggested marrying Princess Hejing off.

"Is Concubine Xian crazy? It is a well-known fact that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, not to mention that she actually helped the Queen Mother to embarrass the Emperor."

"Xiyue."

Rongyin was already familiar with the situation. Gao Xiyue immediately shut up when she heard the call and stopped talking about Ruyi. "My queen, is this a blessing in disguise for Princess Hejing? She doesn't have to marry to Khorchin anymore?"

Although she didn't hate Hengti, if it really came down to closeness, the first person she would protect would be Hejing.

However, while Gao Xiyue wanted to make Empress Jinghe happy, she was still somewhat worried.

"But the Queen Mother lost Hengti for no reason. She won't show anything now, but she has lost her weakness the last time. It will be hard for her not to hate you."

If Gao Xiyue used to be a person who didn't care about anything and just stayed around the Empress every day, in recent days she has been trying to manage the things in the harem together with Concubine Chun, and she has become more or less cautious.

The harem sometimes looks more terrifying than the previous dynasty.

No one knows whether they will die in their sleep for unknown reasons, and there are also people like Concubine Xian who take advantage of the emperor's favor and are ungrateful.

Rong Yin smiled and said, "Princess Hengti will not marry to Khorchin. I will ask the Queen Mother to stand on our side."

Even after saying this, Gao Xiyue did not doubt that the Queen Mother wanted to send her daughter away to please the Queen Mother. She just felt that she and the Queen Mother still had a lot to learn.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I have learned a lot. I will often share your worries with Sister Chunfei in the future. You must take good care of yourself."

To her, Rongyin was like a big umbrella in the harem, protecting them from wind and rain, and teaching them the way to survive gently and selflessly.

"Okay, I promise you. We will all live long and long."

Gao Xiyue knew that the Queen had a lot to do these days, so she reported what had happened recently and then paid her respects and left.

She has become very smart these days, at least she knows what to say and what not to say.

When she left Changchun Palace, she silently made a wish in her heart, praying to God to bless the Queen with a long life, and preferably to become the Queen Mother safely. When the Emperor passed away, she and her sisters would be able to accompany the Queen every day to drink tea and eat snacks.

Even though they all became little old ladies with gray hair, she was still the Queen Mother's favorite.
