Han Xiangjian was eagerly waiting, and finally when Ruyi returned to the Old Summer Palace, she couldn't wait to see her.

"Your concubine pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Ruyi thought that Han Xiangjian was here to urge her, and that the matter could not be delayed any longer, so she asked the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.

"Rongpin, I know you are worried, but the emperor and I just came back from worshipping our ancestors, I'm afraid..."

Ruyi was looking for an excuse to decline, and Han Xiangjian said, "Today, I came to see the Queen to tell her that I have seen Han Qi!"

Ruyi was startled and asked hurriedly, "What did you say? You have met Han Qi? How did you meet him? Has anyone else discovered it?!"

As soon as Han Xiangjian explained the whole cause and effect, Ruyi immediately felt as if she was facing a great enemy and blamed Han Xiangjian for losing her patience.

"You actually reported it to Concubine Ling? How could you tell Concubine Ling? Concubine Ling has always been scheming and full of tricks. If you rashly want to meet with the clan members, wouldn't Concubine Ling be suspicious?"

"If she finds out that you've been meeting with a man in secret and tells the emperor about it, it will be a serious crime of defiling the imperial palace! Not only will you and Han Qi be sentenced to death, but I will also be charged with negligence!"

"The noble concubine Ling hates me to the core. If she knew the truth, she would definitely throw this basin of dirty water on me! She said that I tricked you and Han Qi into betraying the emperor. Do you know that this will kill me!"

Han Xiangjian thought that Ruyi would not agree too quickly, but she didn't expect that Ruyi would react so strongly when she just mentioned it a few times!

Han Xiangjian hesitantly told her purpose, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I am a little anxious about this matter, but, but I am also afraid that Han Qi will not be able to control himself and will cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Queen, your Highness, I know nothing. But Han Qi is seriously injured and has traveled all the way, which has already damaged his body. I am afraid that Han Qi will not be able to hold on for much longer!"

"I know my current status, and I don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. I just hope to spend the last days with Han Qi. I beg the Queen to grant my wish! Han Qi and I will be grateful!"

When Ruyi heard Han Xiangjian say that Han Qi might not live long, she just breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard that Han Xiangjian still wanted to meet Han Qi, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat again.

Ruyi rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know how much the emperor loves you? It is a gift from heaven to be able to meet your young man. How dare you have such unreasonable thoughts?!"

"The Emperor often summons you to sleep with him. Everyone knows about you and Han Qi. Some people from the Han tribe in the capital also recognize Han Qi. If the Emperor hears about this, he may not punish you, but do you want me to be slapped in the face by the Emperor again?!"

Han Xiangjian knelt down and begged, "Empress! It was you who persuaded me to serve the Emperor. You said you also had a young man like me."

"I thought that Her Majesty the Queen could understand my feelings, so I followed Her Majesty's advice. Since Her Majesty the Queen has helped me, please help me again!"

"I promise that I will never do anything out of line with Han Qi to bring trouble to Her Majesty the Queen! I beg Her Majesty the Queen to grant my wish for the sake of the love between me and Han Qi!"

For Han Xiangjian's sake, the young man was willing to risk his life to elope with her.

For her, he would drag his seriously injured body and travel thousands of miles to Beijing alone.

For her, I would risk my life just to see her.

Ruyi is very envious of the relationship between Han Xiangjian and Han Qi.

But what about her young man?

Not only did her young lover fall in love with someone else, he also favored people like Concubine Ling who were against her.

It also went against the young love between them. For Han Xiangjian, he slapped her hard and trampled her dignity and respect as a queen under his feet!

Ruyi felt that she was so embarrassed because she agreed to Han Xiangjian's request, and she had been secretly blaming Han Xiangjian in her heart.

When I heard Han Xiangjian bring up the old things today, a fire rose in my heart and I couldn't help but vent my anger on Han Xiangjian.

Han Xiangjian wanted to plead for mercy again, but Ruyi had already ordered her to leave.

"The harem has strict rules. No matter what your status is, you cannot stay in the same room with a man outside your family! Go back and don't make any more moves, lest the imperial concubine catch your mistake and make trouble!"

Han Xiang knew that her request was too difficult, so she didn't insist.

After returning to the palace, the trusted maid said, "Don't worry, my master. There will always be a way."

Han Xiangjian sighed and said, "What kind of words should I use to persuade the Queen to help me?"

The trusted palace maid suggested: "Everyone in the palace knows that the Queen and Concubine Ling are sworn enemies. If you can help the Queen deal with Concubine Ling, the Queen will be happy and will definitely help you fulfill your wish!"

Han Xiangjian felt that what she said made sense, but she was in a dilemma. "That being said, the Empress and Concubine Ling have been fighting for so many years, and Concubine Ling's position has become higher and higher. I am just a concubine. Even if the Emperor favors me, I am afraid that I can't shake Concubine Ling's position."

The trusted maid said, "Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without danger. This will make the Imperial Concubine less defensive against us. Master, why don't you send someone to get some useful information so that we can help the Empress."

Han Xiang's eyes lit up. Unlike the Imperial Palace, the Old Summer Palace did not have as many servants, so she sent people to the Queen's and Concubine Ling's bedrooms to inquire about the news.

Jinzhong came to see Yanwan, "Rongpin is favored, but the scheme she came up with is really simple."

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Rongpin is favored by the emperor. There is no need to fight for it. The emperor offers everything to her. How can others compare to this blessing? By the way, how is Hanqi?"

Jin Zhong said: "It's a miracle that Han Qi can enter the Old Summer Palace alive. I'm afraid his body can't hold out for a few months. If he gets angry and anxious, it will be even more difficult to say."

Yan Wan sighed, "What an infatuated man. I wonder if he will have a chance to meet Rongpin again?"

Jinzhong smiled and said, "That depends on what Master Ling wants."

Yan Wan said: "What does this have to do with me? Everything depends on their luck. Rongpin can't find out anything from me, but I wonder if the Queen will get anything?"

Jinzhong said: "There will definitely be some gains, but I don't know if it will be the one Rongpin wants."

"However, Master Ling, Ling Yunche is indeed too unruly. He actually sat in the same room with the Empress. What do you think Ling Yunche was thinking?"

Yan Wan raised her eyebrows, "It took you so long to figure this out? If the emperor knew, how would he deal with Ling Yunche?"

Jinzhong smiled and said, "It depends on whether Concubine Rong can find anything. I hope Concubine Rong is not as stupid as me."
