惢心 and Jiang Yubi knew that the Emperor treated the Imperial Noble Consort differently. As long as the Imperial Noble Consort spoke up, the Emperor would definitely change the imperial edict, so they were not too worried.

The next day, Ruyi went to the Yangxin Palace early to wait, and Jinzhong came back earlier to prepare lunch for the emperor.

Jinzhong greeted her and said, "I am here to see the Imperial Noble Consort. Are you here to express your gratitude on behalf of Aunt Suo Xin?"

Ruyi said, "No, I am here to ask the Emperor to take back his order. When will the Emperor come back?"

Jinzhong was startled and reminded quietly: "The emperor has already issued the decree, how can he take it back? Besides, didn't the Imperial Noble Consort and Aunt Suo Xin agree to this marriage? When Jinbao passed on the decree, he already accepted it and thanked her for her grace?"

"The emperor was very happy to hear Jinbao's report. If the imperial concubine said that the emperor had misunderstood, I'm afraid it would not be a good idea."

Ruyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and said, "What's wrong with that? It's just a marriage arranged for惢心 anyway."

Jin Zhong was surprised and said, "The emperor often saw that Lord Ling was not working in the Yangxin Palace. After asking, he found out that Lord Ling went to the Yikun Palace. The emperor thought that Lord Ling went to visit Aunt Suoxin, so he issued this marriage decree."

"If this is not the case, then why would Lord Ling, an outsider, always go to the Yikun Palace? The Emperor is back!"

Ruyi felt something was wrong after Jinzhong reminded her of this. Now that the incident with Master Anji had just happened, if she explained the situation to the emperor, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not be suspicious!

The emperor left the court, and Ruyi hurried over to pay her respects: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

The emperor helped Ruyi up and said, "Hurry up, you are here to thank Rong Xin for her kindness, right?"

Li Yu was waiting for Ruyi to explain the situation to the emperor. Seeing Ruyi hesitated, she forced a smile and said, "Yes, I thank the emperor for granting a marriage for Suo Xin!"

Li Yu was stunned. He didn't know why Ruyi said that, but he couldn't say anything.

In Yikun Palace,惢心 and Jiang Yubi were devastated by the news, and惢心 had cried herself to death.

Jiang Yebin asked in confusion: "Why didn't the Imperial Concubine explain to the Emperor?"

"The Emperor granted the marriage because he misunderstood that Ling Yunche and Suo Xin were in love. If I tell the Emperor that he would have misunderstood, wouldn't that embarrass the Emperor?"

Jiang Yebin didn't understand. "What does this have to do with Lord Ling? Why does the emperor think so? Is there really no way out?!"

Ruyi explained, "In order to find out the truth, Ling Yunche came to Yikun Palace many times, and the emperor misunderstood that Ling Yunche came to visit惢心. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, there is nothing I can do."

It was Ling Yunche's business to go to Yikun Palace. Why would the emperor misunderstand that Suo Xin had feelings for Ling Yunche? Even if it was a misunderstanding, the imperial concubine could have explained it to the emperor. Why was the imperial concubine unwilling to explain?

Jiang Yubin was unwilling to accept this result and wanted to try again. He begged, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please talk to the Emperor again, or let Lord Ling explain to the Emperor, or..."

"How can the emperor change his decree overnight? Lord Ling has a good character, so what's wrong with that? The time for checking Ping's pulse is over today, you may leave first!"

In Ruyi's heart, Ling Yunche is the most reliable person, but she cannot say that she is afraid that the emperor will become suspicious of Ling Yunche, so she has to go with the flow.

Ruyi knew that Jiang Yubin was unwilling, but what could he do no matter how unwilling he was? Ling Yunche was also someone she could trust, so Ruyi felt relieved to leave惢心 to him.

When Jiang Yubi heard that Ruyi had ordered him to leave, he had no choice but to leave and find other solutions.

After waking up,惢心 cried and begged Ruyi to think of another solution. Ruyi said that she had no other ideas and could only blame it on the fact that she and Jiang Yubi were not destined to be together.

惢心 cried out in anger, "I won't marry! Jiang Yubin and I love each other, and I won't marry anyone else except Jiang Yubin! Master, please consider that I have been with you in the cold palace for three years and broke my leg for you, and please grant my wish!"

Ruyi always thought that惢心 was a good girl who was loyal to her master and did not ask for anything in return. She never expected that she would make things so difficult for her because of her own marriage!

Ruyi said with a headache: "惢心, please don't embarrass me. I know what kind of person Ling Yunche is. He will definitely treat you well for my sake. Don't make trouble anymore!"

Making trouble? She had clearly agreed to her and Jiang Yubin's marriage a long time ago, so why was she the one making trouble? 惢心 felt very disappointed when she heard this.

The news in the palace spread quickly. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was going to arrange a marriage for惢心, so they all came to Yikun Palace to visit惢心.

However, I don't know whether Suo Xin was mentally ill due to the severe torture, or whether she was mentally depressed due to some kind of stimulation. Even the Imperial Concubine looked unhappy.

After all,惢心 was a patient, and it was not convenient for the concubines to stay in惢心's room for a long time. After seeing惢心, Ruyi entertained the concubines in the main hall.

Yan Wan stayed behind to congratulate, saying, "Aunt Suo Xin has finally gotten what she deserves after all the hard work. It is such an honor to have the Emperor personally grant her marriage. I would like to congratulate Aunt Suo Xin first!"

"What's wrong with Aunt Suo Xin? Are you not happy that you can leave the palace and marry? Are you reluctant to leave the Imperial Concubine?"

惢心 had already felt hopeless, but suddenly she remembered that Lingpin had once tried to speak for her in front of the Imperial Noble Consort, and that Lingpin was the Emperor's favorite concubine, so maybe she could help her think of a solution.

Suo Xin struggled to get up, knelt on the ground and begged, "My Lady Lingpin, please help me, my lady!"

Although Yan Wan came here to "help"惢心 fulfill her wish, she did not expect the plan to go so smoothly. She thought she would have to spend more time talking to make惢心 dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine.

Yan Wan was startled by惢心, and hurried to help惢心 up and said, "What's wrong? Aunt惢心, please get up and say something!"

惢心 refused to give in, and knelt down to beg, "Empress Lingpin has a kind heart and is willing to help others. I don't know why the emperor wants to marry me and Lord Ling. I only have Jiang Yubin in my heart. Please help me think of a solution, Empress Lingpin!"

"Jiang Yubin? It's Doctor Jiang?" Yan Wan was surprised. "Then why don't you tell the Royal Concubine? She will definitely make the decision for you."

惢心 felt bitter and said, "My mistress refused to ask the Emperor for me, and even said that I was making things difficult for her and causing trouble! I really have no choice but to ask Concubine Ling for help."

"If Concubine Ling is unwilling to help me, and I have no feelings for Lord Ling, I can only die to show my loyalty!"

Yan Wan was startled and hurriedly comforted her, "Aunt Suo Xin, don't say stupid things! I only heard that the emperor wants to grant you a marriage but didn't say who it will be for. There may be room for change. You must not do anything stupid!"

When Suo Xin heard that there was hope, she kowtowed and thanked the Empress, "Thank you, Empress Lingpin! Thank you, Empress Lingpin! Regardless of success or failure, this servant and Jiang Yubin will definitely remember Empress Lingpin's great kindness!"

"You are still injured, so don't get too excited. Get up quickly and take good care of your injuries. This matter should not be made public to avoid more trouble. Get up quickly."

Yanwan asked Chunchan to help惢心 lie down. When she heard that惢心 was gradually becoming dissatisfied with Ruyi, she lowered her head, smiled, and turned away.
