After staying in the Imperial Garden for quite a while and asking for all the fish food, Princess Shuya also went somewhere else, and then Lin Li returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Unexpectedly, Miss Ruyue was still waiting outside the hall with something in her hand.

Xiao Dongzi was familiar with Lin Li. When he saw Lin Li, he immediately ran over and said, "Miss, Miss Ruyue won't leave no matter how hard I try to persuade her. I have no other choice."

Eunuch Su was serving inside, so the matters outside were naturally left to Xiao Dongzi.

Lin Li came back from the Imperial Garden. Although she was holding an umbrella, she still felt very hot. Not to mention that Ruyue had been standing in the sun for so long. She was afraid that she would get heatstroke. How could her body stop it?

"Why didn't the eunuch ask Miss Ruyue to wait for the emperor in the shade?"

"The servant invited you, but Miss Ruyue refused to listen and insisted on standing in the sun."

It was Zhou Yue who was so persistent, and now it has become Ruyue. Lin Li didn’t know what to say.

"I'm a little tired, so I'm going to the side hall to rest." Lin Li was unwilling to get involved in this matter.

Ruyue also saw Lin Li, "Ms. Lin, please wait a moment, I have something to say."

"I think there is nothing much to talk about between Miss Ruyue and me." Lin Li turned around and stood face to face with Ruyue who was walking towards her.

"Ms. Lin doesn't want to talk to me, but I want to talk to her," Ruyue handed the things in her hand to Xiao Dongzi, looking arrogant, "Why, is Miss Lin afraid?"

Lin Li was puzzled. What was she afraid of? Why couldn't she understand what Ruyue said?

Ruyue glanced at Lin Li with disdain, "Ms. Lin, do you want others to listen to our conversation as well?"

When Xiao Dongzi heard this, he took Lin Li's maid and retreated.

"Miss Lin and the Emperor are truly in love, but please stop kidding, Miss Lin. The Emperor and I have been alone together for so long, and our relationship is no less than Miss Lin's."

She was right. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. When Xie Yu was injured, it was Ruyue who took care of him without complaint.

"so what?"

Ruyue crossed her arms, expressionless, "Ms. Lin, don't pretend to know something you don't. To be honest, we are the same kind of people."

"Miss Ruyue, just speak frankly."

Lin Li had just stood in the sun for a while and her mouth was dry. She didn't want to talk nonsense with Ruyue, but her words made her very interested.

"You have followed the emperor for so long, but you have no status. I have served the emperor for so long, but I also have no status. Therefore, in the near future, another woman will take your place. Your tomorrow is my today. Don't be complacent for too long."

"Haha, Miss Ruyue said so many things just to remind me not to be complacent?"

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and there is more than one woman by his side. What I want to do is to stay by his side for a long time. The emperor refuses to see me now because he has been bewitched by you. One day, I will take everything back."

At this time, Lin Li would not wake up Ruyue's stupidity. The culprit was Xie Yu, who was affectionate everywhere but refused to show his attitude.

"The emperor rescued Miss Ruyue from the tiger's den, and Miss Ruyue pledged her love to him in return. I can totally understand that. But, did Miss Ruyue personally ask the emperor if he was willing to accept it?"

Ruyue did make their relationship clear to Xie Yu.

~~

Xie Yu was injured, Ruyue tried to get some hot water for Xie Yu to wipe his body, but Xie Yu refused.

She brought the water into the room, closed the door, wet the cloth for wiping her body with hot water, and wanted to help Xie Yu get up and change his clothes.

"Sir, you are injured and it is inconvenient for you. Let me help you."

"No need," Xie Yu was lying on the bed, holding a military book in his hand, "Just let Zhao Jin come in. Thank you for your hard work. Bring me some hot water."

Seeing this, Ruyue pursed her lips, unmoved, "Sir, you saved me, I am willing to marry you, please don't despise me."

"Miss Ruyue, I saved you without asking for anything in return," Xie Yu said angrily, pointing to the door. "Go out now, and don't say such things again. Otherwise, you will leave sooner or later."

In the end, Ruyue had no choice but to leave first.

Ruyue only did some chores, and Xie Yu never let her serve him personally. He often rejected her by saying that there should be no physical contact between men and women.

However, she was unwilling to give up. Ruyue believed that love would grow over time. During this journey, she was the only female relative of Xie Yu, and she was also quite pretty.

What's more, if I take care of Xie Yu day and night, Xie Yu will definitely fall in love with me.
