Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

In Yikun Palace, Ruyi was sitting by the window, and next to her was Qingmei who was coaxing the little prince beside the cradle.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and Li Yu hurried into Yiku Palace.

Li Yu bowed respectfully and said, "Madam Xianpin, I pay my respects to you."

Ruyi put down the book and nodded slightly, "Li Yu, why are you in such a hurry? Come and sit here with me. Qingmei, bring the tea that the emperor gave me a few days ago..."

Li Yu looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, I will not sit down today. Concubine Shu and the little prince have been locked up in the cold palace. It was the emperor's will. I came here to inform your Highness and to take the little prince away."

Ruyi's expression tightened when she heard this, and she asked in surprise, "How could this be? Yihuan has always been a noble person, how could she end up like this?"

Li Yu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is helpless. This matter involves many people, and the Emperor is also considering the overall situation. But the Emperor is also reluctant, so he asked me to ask Your Majesty to plead for mercy as soon as possible. Perhaps there is still room for maneuver."

Ruyi fell into deep thought, her heart was very conflicted. On the one hand, she had some friendship with Yihuan, and if the little prince could not be raised by her, what would happen in the future?

But now Yihuan and the little prince are of no use.

On the other hand, she didn't want to damage her relationship with the emperor, nor did she want the emperor to think that she was a sinister person.

Ruyi paced back and forth in the palace, and Qingmei whispered beside her, "Your Highness, Shupin has always respected you. Now that she is in trouble, if you don't help her, I'm afraid it will chill Shupin's heart."

Ruyi sighed and said, "I know this too. But this matter concerns the emperor's feelings. If I plead rashly, I'm afraid it will make the emperor unhappy."

Qingmei added, "My Lady, if you don't go and plead for mercy, you will feel uneasy when you think about it in the future."

Ruyi was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind, "Forget it, I will give it a try."

Ruyi carefully selected a simple and elegant dress and took Qingmei to the imperial study. Along the way, Ruyi was very nervous.

Ruyi gently warned Qingmei, "When you meet the emperor later, you must be careful with your words and actions, and don't talk too much."

Qingmei nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, I understand."

Arriving at the imperial study, Ruyi took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked in slowly.

The emperor was sitting at the table reviewing memorials. When he saw Ruyi come in, he raised his eyes slightly.

Ruyi bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand, "Ruyi, get up. What are you here for today?"

Ruyi bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I heard that Sister Shupin and the little prince were sent to the cold palace, and I felt very sorry. Shupin has always been loyal, and there may be other hidden reasons for this incident. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and give her a lighter sentence."

The emperor frowned slightly, "I am also quite helpless about this matter. Yi Huan... Alas, this matter is of great importance, I have to handle it with caution."

Ruyi said quickly, "Your Majesty, I know that you are thinking about the overall situation. But Shupin and the little prince are innocent after all, please have mercy on them."

The emperor looked at Ruyi, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

"Ruyi, do you know why I am in such a dilemma? Yihuan's matter involves many conflicts of interest between the former and the harem. If I let it go easily, it may cause more trouble."

Ruyi lowered her head slightly, and did not mention the emperor's manipulation of the pregnancy medicine. "I understand your difficulty. But I believe that Shupin did not do it on purpose. Can your Majesty show some leniency for the young prince's innocence? Besides, the little prince is not in good health..."

The emperor was silent for a moment, "Ruyi, you are begging for Shupin so much, aren't you afraid that I will suspect you have selfish motives?"

Ruyi raised her head and looked at the emperor firmly, "Your Majesty, although I have a friendship with Shupin, my request for mercy this time is not out of selfishness. I just can't bear to see innocent people suffer, and I don't want Your Majesty to bear the blame."

The emperor was touched by Ruyi's words. He stood up, walked to Ruyi and hugged her gently.

"Ruyi, I have always known your kindness. But this matter is indeed difficult, and I need to think about it carefully."

Ruyi nodded slightly, "I understand. Your Majesty is very busy, and this matter does need careful consideration. I only hope that Your Majesty can have mercy on Yihuan and the little prince and give them a chance."

After careful consideration, the emperor finally made a decision.

"Ruyi, I promise you that I will send Yihuan out of the palace to pray for blessings, and the little prince will stay with you to educate him. But you must ensure the little prince's safety and there must be no mistakes."

Ruyi was delighted and bowed quickly, "I thank the emperor for his grace. I will live up to your trust and educate the little prince well."

After Ruyi left the emperor's bedroom, she immediately began to arrange for Yihuan to leave the palace to pray for blessings.

Ruyi instructed Qingmei, "Go and inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a place for the little prince to stay and take care of him. Don't neglect him."

Qingmei took the order and left.

When Yihuan learned of the emperor's decision, she naturally did not want to go to the cold palace, but when she knew that Ruyi had pleaded for her, she was very grateful.

Yi Huan burst into tears, "Sister, thank you for pleading for me. I have no way to repay you, so I can only pray for the emperor and sister outside the palace."

Ruyi held Yihuan's hand and said, "Yihuan, you don't have to do this. Take good care of yourself and wait until the time is right to return to the palace to reunite with the little prince. I will take good care of her for you."

Yi Huan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will be fine."

Ruyi looked at Yihuan's departing back, feeling filled with emotion.

She knew that she had a great responsibility. Not only did she have to take good care of the little prince, but she also had to plan for the future. Now that the queen was seriously ill, she was the only one the emperor could rely on. She had to take on the responsibility of maintaining peace in the harem.

"Green plum."

Qingmei came over immediately.

"After Yihuan leaves the palace, you will see her off on my behalf."

Ruyi looked at the armor in her hand, which reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

"Shupin loves His Majesty so deeply. I can't bear to let her stay in the dark. Send her the evidence of pregnancy-preserving medicine I found, and then come back quietly. Don't let anyone find out."

Qingmei was a little surprised, but quickly followed the order and left.

After dealing with Shupin's affairs, the emperor fell into reflection. He first rejected the queen's plea, and then turned around and agreed to Ruyi.

"Am I right or wrong for doing this?" the emperor asked himself.

He thought of the queen's kindness and tolerance, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He knew that the queen had always worked hard for the peace of the harem and the stability of the Qing Dynasty, but his decision might make the queen sad.

The emperor decided to visit Rongyin and explain his decision to her. He came to Rongyin's bedroom and saw Rongyin lying on the bed with a pale face, and his heart ached.

"Queen, I'm here to see you." The emperor said gently. After all, she was his first wife.

Rong Yin opened her eyes slightly and saw the emperor, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Rong Yin asked.

The emperor sat on the bedside and held Rong Yin's hand. "Queen, I know you are worried about Shupin and the prince. I have also reflected on my decision. Perhaps I was a little too impulsive."

Rong Yin shook her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are thinking about the Qing Dynasty. I understand your difficulties."

The emperor sighed and said, "Queen, as the emperor, I must be responsible for the country and people of the Qing Dynasty. I cannot allow anyone who may threaten the Qing Dynasty to exist. As for the subsequent promise to Ruyi, it is also because of the little prince's weak health..."

Rong Yin nodded. She didn't care about it. "I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and won't make you worry anymore."

The emperor looked at Rongyin and made sure that she had no reaction, then he felt relieved.

As time went by, the harem gradually returned to peace, and the matter between Shupin and the prince was gradually forgotten.

Although Rongyin's body was still weak, her mood gradually improved. At least Gao Xiyue and Su Lujun had stabilized the situation, and the situation here would not be chaotic.
