Chapter 223 Xiao Lingzi is your blessing
Qingmei looked helpless, "My Lady, you are harming yourself and Ling Yunche!"
Ruyi sneered, "Humph, if I abandon him at this moment, I will be truly harming him and going against my own conscience."
Qingmei looked at Ruyi's resolute expression and knew that it was useless to persuade her any further. She shook her head helplessly and said, "My queen, it's going to rain outside. I'll go collect the clothes."
She looked at Ruyi speechlessly as she was struggling with the matter, then she found an excuse and left.
The news spread quickly in the harem. When the Queen Mother heard about it in Shoukang Palace, she was so angry that her face turned blue.
"What is the emperor doing? Isn't he bringing disgrace to the royal family by doing this?"
The Queen Mother slammed the table angrily, her eyes full of disappointment.
Fujia softly consoled her, "Queen Dowager, calm down. Don't get yourself hurt by anger. The Emperor may have some deep meaning behind this action."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "What's the meaning? He is announcing the affair between Ruyi and Ling Yunche to the harem. Isn't that the same as admitting that Ruyi cheated on him? How foolish!"
Fujia sighed helplessly, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."
The Queen Mother frowned, "How can I not care? The affairs of the harem are related to the dignity of the royal family, and now he has messed it up. Forget it, I don't want to care about him anymore, just let him be."
In Gao Xiyue's palace, she was sitting in front of the mirror, listening to Mo Xin telling stories about Ruyi and Ling Yunche, with a gloating smile on her lips.
"Hmph, Ruyi, ah Ruyi, you have come to this day." Gao Xiyue raised her eyebrows.
Mo Xin smiled and agreed, "Your Majesty, now Concubine Xian has also become a noble concubine, and she is on an equal footing with you."
Gao Xiyue curled her lips in disdain, "So what? She is now plagued by these rumors. How can she survive in the palace?"
After saying that, Gao Xiyue stood up and said, "Come on, accompany me to Changchun Palace and tell the queen about this interesting incident."
In Changchun Palace, Rong Yin was reading a book. Seeing Gao Xiyue rushing in, she smiled slightly, "Xiyue, you're here."
Gao Xiyue walked over to Rongyin and sat down, holding her hand and said coquettishly: "My queen, have you heard about Concubine Xian, oh no, Concubine Xian's affairs? It's really lively."
Rong Yin frowned slightly, "Xiyue, we should not discuss this matter too much."
Gao Xiyue disagreed, "Your Majesty, you are just too kind. Think about it, the matter between Ruyi and Ling Yunche has become so serious that the whole harem is talking about it."
"The emperor not only did not suppress it, but sent Ling Yunche to Yikun Palace. Isn't this mentally abnormal? This kind of thing should be kept secret, but he leaked it to the public. Now everyone is laughing at him."
Rong Yin shook her head helplessly, "The emperor must have his reasons for doing this."
Gao Xiyue curled her lips, "Your Majesty, you are always so cautious. However, Ruyi is really in trouble this time. I wonder how she can hold her head up in the palace in the future."
Rong Yin sighed slightly, "I just hope it won't be too ugly."
But I didn’t think so in my heart, “It would be fun if it got out of hand.”
Gao Xiyue disagreed, "Your Majesty, you are too soft-hearted. No matter what, Ruyi's life in the palace will not be easy this time. I finally feel relieved."
Rong Yin looked at Gao Xiyue's smug look and sighed secretly in her heart. She knew that once the disputes in the harem began, it would be like a flood and a beast that would be difficult to contain. She just hoped that this girl would not die in exhaustion like she did in her previous life.
At this time in the Yikun Palace, Ruyi was sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
She knew that the relationship between herself and the emperor had been irreparably damaged, and Ling Yunche's matter had put her in a dilemma.
"Ling Yunche, it is me who has implicated you." Ruyi whispered to herself, tears in her eyes.
After Jiang Yubi finished his consultation, Ling Yunche immediately came over to accompany Ruyi. Ling Yunche walked forward and knelt in front of Ruyi.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. I did all this voluntarily. As long as I can be by your side and protect you, I am willing to do anything."
Qingmei was guarding outside the palace. She couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. He has already become a eunuch, why does he still call himself a humble official?
Ruyi looked at Ling Yunche, her heart filled with emotion and guilt, "Why are you doing this? I don't want you to suffer more because of me."
Ling Yunche smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you saved my life, and I should do anything for you. I will stay with you in Yikun Palace for the rest of my life."
Ruyi shook her head slightly, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain. I will definitely find a way to protect you and clear your name."
Ling Yunche's eyes flashed with gratitude, "Thank you, Madam."
However, they all knew that it was not easy to escape from the predicament in this harem.
In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto the roads leading to the palaces in the harem. The concubines went to the Empress's Changchun Palace to pay their respects as usual.
In Changchun Palace, Rongyin sat dignifiedly in the main seat with a gentle expression, and it seemed that the air around her was filled with a faint floral scent.
The concubines arrived one after another. Gao Xiyue looked at Ruyi with a smile that seemed sincere but was actually sarcastic. "Congratulations, Imperial Concubine Xian. Not only have you been promoted to a higher position, but you also have your lifesaver Ling Yunche serving you. You are truly blessed."
