"I originally thought that the Queen was unwilling to let Wei Yanwan come to Yikun Palace in order to offer Wei Yanwan to the Emperor in order to win his favor. But now it seems that this is not the case. In order to win the Emperor's heart, the Queen even gave up Princess Hejing."

After hearing this, Ling Yunche took a deep breath in disbelief. "How can the Queen, as a mother, use her child as a bargaining chip to win favor? Moreover, everyone in the harem knows that the Emperor's heart is with you."

"I have no children. Even if I did, I would never do something as shameful as the Queen's way of marrying off her daughter." Ruyi sighed, her eyes full of worry.

"Marrying the princess far away is not a big deal. The Queen also took this opportunity to show her goodwill to the Queen Mother. Now the Emperor has misunderstood me. I am afraid that I will not have a chance to explain in the short term."

Ling Yunche had already finished complaining, and now most of his thoughts were on Ruyi.

"But I heard that the Emperor was still struggling between Princess Hengti and Princess Hejing a few days ago. The Queen Mother has already married off one daughter, so she must be reluctant to give up her younger daughter. And everyone knows that the Emperor loves Princess Hejing, so how can the Queen not have a motherly heart at all?"

Ruyi did not say anything to stop Ling Yunche from discussing the Empress' behavior behind her back. Instead, she listened with great approval.

"I have already explained to the Queen Mother that as long as the Queen Mother insists on agreeing to Princess Hengti marrying far away, the Queen will be reluctant to part with He Jing and will naturally fight the Queen Mother to the end."

"The Fucha family will help the Queen Mother to keep Princess Hengti and facilitate the marriage of Princess Hejing. In this way, the Fucha family can help the Emperor get the support of the Khorchin tribe, the Queen Mother can also keep her only remaining daughter, the Emperor will also have a reputation of being righteous, and it will also prevent the Queen Mother's power from growing stronger."

"The method I proposed can ensure that all parties can get everything they want. If the Queen had not directly abandoned Princess Hejing, the Emperor would not have had a grudge against me now..."

The two of them spoke freely here, and they became each other's confidants with each other.

Ruyi had long forgotten to ask the Emperor for help.

What she didn't expect was that惢心 was really invited to the emperor!

Pull your gaze back to Suo Xin.

Ever since the Emperor learned that Ruyi had taken the initiative to find the Empress Dowager and even helped her to come up with ideas, he has fallen into unimaginable confusion. In order to ensure that his mind is clear, he has been diligently reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study during this period.

No one around her dared to mention Ruyi.

Even though Li Yu didn't dare to offend the emperor at this time, he couldn't stand惢心 running around these days.

It was fine when he was around, but if he was not around, Suo Xin didn't know what kind of weird treatment she would have to endure from the other eunuchs. Li Yu gritted his teeth and went in to try to persuade her.

After all, Concubine Xian is favored by the Emperor, so he can take advantage of her a lot.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how many times Concubine Xian has sent her people to ask you for help these days. You and Concubine Xian have been friends for so many years, you should go and listen to her, otherwise Concubine Xian will be so sad."

The emperor felt that this statement made sense. Ruyi's heart had always been on his side, and it was impossible for her to go to the empress dowager for no reason. If he really convicted Ruyi without asking any questions, it would be unfair to her.

Jinzhong was serving the emperor with his writing brush. When he saw Li Yu coming over, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows and felt a little impatient.

Although Li Yu was his master, it was too obvious that he had surrendered to Concubine Xian. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Even he could see that Concubine Xian had no intention of promising the maid to him.

Li Yu was still dreaming of a great life, but the emperor just wanted to buy into it. He wanted to ask him to stay, but up to now, he had not really hooked up with any of the concubines in the harem, so he didn't have any suitable words to say even if he wanted to keep him.

"Let's go to Yikun Palace."

The emperor made the decision without saying a word, which shows that Ruyi still has some place in his heart.

惢心 watched Li Yu come out and nod at her. She couldn't hide the smile on her face no matter what. She immediately went back to report the good news. No matter whether Ruyi could use this opportunity to regain the emperor's trust, at least she didn't have to come here every day to be treated coldly and scolded.

The emperor brought Li Yu and Jinzhong with him. After several days of psychological preparation, he was finally ready to meet Ruyi.

惢心 ran back to Yikun Palace, and she felt like the sky was falling. Ruyi was nowhere to be found, and the palace maid that Rong Pei had instructed before leaving was standing there and scolding the palace maids in a fierce manner. The scolded palace maids lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"The emperor is coming. Don't teach these maids the rules yet. Come with me and help the master dress up to welcome the emperor."

Suo Xin came over to plead with the young palace maids, waving her hand behind her back to signal them to retreat quickly, while at the same time she raised her leg to walk into the hall.

The maidservant left behind by Rong Pei was very calm, "The emperor was coming, why didn't he inform us in advance? Concubine Xian has just gone out to relax."

She looks exactly like Rong Pei.

Suo Xin was stuck in the spot and almost vomited blood.

Ruyi just asked her to ask the emperor to come over, but she just turned around and left like that?

There is at least some affection between Ruyi and the emperor. No matter how inappropriate it is, he just sent her to the cold palace. Now that the emperor has come and found that she is not there, he is reluctant to blame herself for spreading false information. No one cares about the life of a palace maid like her!

"Where is the master?"惢心 resisted the urge to curse and prepared to run out to find Ruyi.

The maidservant left behind by Rong Pei didn't seem to realize how serious the matter was. "How can we, as servants, ask where the queen is going? Even if you are someone close to the queen, you should be careful at this time."

At this time, he had already picked up the tone to scold Suo Xin.

No matter how good-tempered Suo Xin usually was, she couldn't help but say a few words when her life was at stake, "If the emperor comes over and doesn't see the master, I'm afraid we will all be punished! Tell me quickly which direction the master went!"

The maid that Rong Pei left behind just glanced at her calmly and said, "I never spy on your whereabouts. If the emperor comes, let him wait for a while. Your Majesty will never leave easily if she knows that the emperor is coming. Now that she has left, it must be because she has something important to do. Even if the emperor knows, he will understand your Majesty."

Suoxin stood there in anger, her eyes turning black. She once again resented herself for not accepting the emperor's offer of marriage.

But there was no other solution now, because she had already seen the emperor coming in, so she could only whisper to the maidservant who stayed behind with Rong Pei, "When the emperor comes over later, you should kneel down and pay your respects to him obediently. Don't say anything more, not even a word!"

I don’t know if the people who stay behind will be the same as the others.

惢心 didn't even remember the name of the little maid, but the domineering way she spoke was exactly like Rong Pei! Those who knew her thought she was a maid trained by Rong Pei with great difficulty, while those who didn't thought they were mother and daughter.

"I'm not joking when I say this to you. What's most important right now is the Emperor. He's coming soon!"

Normally,惢心's temper is as good as it can be, and many people have even said that she is an honest person. But at this moment, she couldn't control her temper no matter what. She always felt that there was something wrong with this little palace maid's brain, and every word she said was stepping on her sore spot.

"If you make a scene here and offend the emperor, who will the emperor blame when he gets angry? Be careful or we will all lose our heads along with you."

Suo Xin thought she was angry, but every word she said now was more or less gentle. At least she didn't slap people in the face like Rong Pei did.

Now she only hoped that this little palace maid would hide as soon as possible. Even if she couldn't help her solve the current problem, at least she wouldn't cause more trouble.

But who would have thought that the little maid would get so angry, "Sister Suo Xin, although you are an old lady who has always been serving the Empress, we still have to follow the rules and reason in some matters."

"Everything I do now is for the good of our Yikun Palace. These people should be taught and disciplined if they are disobedient. Even if the emperor comes, I will maintain this attitude and argue with him."

"If he makes a mistake and is not punished, then the rest of the people will make the same mistake. Then our queen will be implicated countless times. If everyone serves the queen like you, without any consideration or memory, then you might as well not serve the queen at all."

Suo Xin was completely unable to react to what the guy in front of her said, and she didn't know what she had done wrong to offend such an ungrateful person.

"Whatever you want to do, we can discuss it in private. What's important now is that the emperor is here, but the master is not here. Do you remember what I said when I went out? No matter what, we must invite the emperor here."

"Now the emperor is here, but if I'm not here, do you know how angry he will be? I rely on the emperor's favor and don't care about anything. So what about now? Although the emperor won't punish me, will I, the person who delivered the false news, be the first to be severely punished?"

Suoxin was almost dizzy with anger at the little palace maid in front of her, but she still maintained the most basic patience to communicate with her.

But the little palace maid seemed to have finally found the loophole in her words. She curled the corners of her lips slightly, clasped her hands in front of her and took a step back. She had no intention of letting the punished palace maids retreat.

"Sister Suoxin, you also know that you will be punished if you do something wrong. How can we servants take the initiative to discuss whether the master should stay or go? Since the master wants to leave, then he should leave."

"As for you taking the initiative to ask the emperor to come to Yikun Palace, is it because you misheard the master's words and asked the emperor to come here at the wrong time, so that the emperor came here early?"

"Just like what you said just now, if you do something wrong, you should be punished. If you passed the wrong message, you should bear all the blame yourself. Why do you want to implicate us servants for no reason?"

"You can't enjoy all kinds of privileges just because you've been with the queen for a long time. If that's the case, not only do I disagree, it won't be good for others to hear about it."

"If you don't know, you would think that our Yikun Palace has no rules."

At this time,惢心 had no way to continue suppressing the pain in her heart. Who knew how angry the emperor would be when he came over? Besides, she had always been very kind to the people around him, and now she had to let them know that she was not easy to bully.

After figuring out the twists and turns, Suo Xin took a deep breath and strode forward, imitating what she had seen Rong Pei do before and slapped the little palace maid in the face.

The little palace maid didn't expect that Suo Xin, who usually kept silent, would now have the courage to fight with her.

She was the person that Aunt Rong Pei personally left behind to serve the Empress! Even Suo Xin couldn't treat her like this!

After figuring out the reason behind this, the little palace maid rushed forward and started to wrestle with惢心.

After all,惢心 has been in Yikun Palace for such a long time, how could she be so frivolous that she would give in just because of a few words from the other party, and she would not let the other party hit her in the face at such a critical moment.

If I really got hit like that, it would be even more difficult to explain when the emperor came over later.

"I'm telling you, if you keep standing there and watch, don't blame me for dragging you all down with me when the Emperor comes. Now hurry up and drag that ungrateful guy down, tie him up, and better yet, stuff his mouth!"

Suoxin no longer wanted to maintain the most basic rules and principles, and directly ordered the palace maids around her who had been punished by the little palace maid.

How could the palace maids not tell who was doing it for their own good? As long as they could get through the current predicament, they would still have a chance to get back at the hands of the little palace maid and the imprisoned Rong Pei in the future.

"Get out of here if you want to live!"
