The emperor meant to ask Ruyi to keep Rong Pei in check and not let her cause chaos in the palace all day long. However, Ruyi misunderstood the emperor and thought that the emperor was also unhappy that惢心 was siding with an outsider.

Ruyi returned to Yikun Palace and asked惢心 dissatisfiedly: "惢心, when did you become friends with Concubine Ling?"

惢心 saw that Ruyi was unhappy, so she knelt on the ground and answered carefully: "Empress Lingfei is the master, how dare I be on good terms with her? It's just that I can't bear to see Empress Lingfei being misunderstood by the master because of me."

"Misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding? Or because Concubine Ling said a few good words for you and Jiang Yubin, have you forgotten what a treacherous and unfaithful woman Concubine Ling is?!" Ruyi said unhappily.

Rong Pei was pushed hard by Jinzhong during the day, and her body hit the table and chair beside her, leaving bruises all over her body.

In order to show her loyalty to her duty, Rong Pei refused to go back to her room to rest, and stood behind Ruyi to speak up for her.

"惢心, you have been serving the Empress for many years, and you are always very considerate and loyal to her. You should know that the Empress hates women like Concubine Ling the most, who are sweet-mouthed but treacherous and only know how to climb up the social ladder."

"Ling Fei just said a few words for you, have you forgotten the evil things Ling Fei did in the past and the teachings of the Majesty in the past?惢心, you are really hurting the Majesty's heart by doing this!"

When Ruyi heard Rong Pei's thoughtful words, she felt more and more that she had a good eye for talent. Seeing that Rong Pei was not feeling well but was still serving her, she hurriedly said.

"You are not feeling well, sit down and rest."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Rong Pei said gratefully.

When惢心 saw this scene, she felt extremely aggrieved. She had clearly served her master for the longest time, she had clearly become disabled in order to prove her master's innocence, and it was clearly her master who was unwilling to speak for her.

The master could understand Rong Pei and let her sit down to rest, so why couldn't he see her hard work? Why couldn't he see her inconvenience in walking?

Why was he so angry when Concubine Ling showed concern for him and asked Chunchan to help him sit down?

After doing so much for the master, is it possible that I am not as good as Rong Pei? Can't I just sit down and take a rest? !

惢心 has always been a person who only cares about doing things and doesn't fight or compete with others. Even though she feels aggrieved, she doesn't want to say it in public.

When Ruyi saw that惢心 did not show the remorse or guilt she had imagined, her heart skipped a beat and she felt that she had said a bit too much.

Suddenly, she thought of Li Yu's unhappy expression during the day, and she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "惢心, I am not blaming you, but I am afraid that you will be deceived by Concubine Ling."

"We have lived together in the cold palace for three years. You should know how much help Ling Yunche has given me! If Ling Yunche hadn't risked his life to save me, I would have died in Shekou and been burned to death!"

"Ling Yunche is a gentleman with good character, but Concubine Ling betrayed him in order to leave Qixiang Palace, so I look down on Concubine Ling. I didn't ask the emperor for help because I think Ling Yunche is also a good man and he will definitely not treat you badly."

Ruyi then said in a condescending tone, "Forget it. I will not bother you about your friendship with Concubine Ling. Just stop associating with Concubine Ling in the future."

"I know you hate Jiapin. How can I not feel sorry for the suffering you have endured in the Ministry of Punishment? Don't worry, I have already thought of a plan to deal with Jiapin. After the ceremony of my coronation is over, I will definitely teach Jiapin a lesson and vent your anger for you!"

In the past,惢心 would believe whatever Ruyi said. Now惢心 heard these words and couldn't help but think.

Is Concubine Ling really as despicable as the master says?

Concubine Ling had suffered in Qixiang Palace for five years. Her master had always said that she would wait for an opportunity, but with just one sentence, she promoted Ling Yunche from a guard in the cold palace to an imperial guard in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The master has always had such a big prejudice against Concubine Ling. After five years in Qixiang Palace, did the master not find a chance to rescue her, or did he not intend to rescue her at all? !

There should be no intention to save her, otherwise why would the master tell Concubine Yu that Qixiang Palace loves to torture Wei Yanwan and will not let her die in the short term? !

At first,惢心 didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She even thought that Concubine Ling deserved what she suffered for betraying her childhood sweetheart.

Now that I think about it, what the master said was really inhumane! Concubine Ling did nothing wrong, but because she looked like the master and said something good for the master in front of Empress Xiaoxian, she suffered five years of torture!

Five years, not five months, let alone five days!

After only a few days in the Ministry of Punishment, 惢心 hated Jiapin. It is hard to imagine how Concubine Ling survived these five years of hell.

The master thought Ling Yunche was good, but she didn't like him. It was the master who always said that he would arrange a marriage between her and Jiang Yubin, so why did she accept Ling Yunche, who had no feelings for her, just because of a small change? !

The master is willing and thinks it is a good thing, but I don’t want to do it!

While Suo Xin was daydreaming, Rong Pei reminded her, "Suo Xin, the queen promised to avenge Jiapin for you, why don't you thank her?"

When 惢心 came to her senses, she really hated Jiapin in her heart, and she was naturally grateful that her master could help her get revenge. She couldn't help but imagine the scene of Jiapin being punished for her crime.

Suo Xin thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, my Lord!"

"Okay, get up quickly. It's getting late. You should leave the palace too." Ruyi was very satisfied with惢心's performance.

"I'll take my leave!" Suo Xin stood up, turned around and limped away.
