Li Yu always remembered the day when he dragged his weak and scarred body out of the gloomy gate of the Ministry of Punishment.

He was thinking about what he should do to win back the emperor's trust. The glory and wealth of the past seemed like a lifetime ago, and now he was left with only this broken body and a feeling of resentment.

The emperor has been feeling like something is missing in his heart these days, and he feels a little empty.

It was not until he saw Li Yu coming out of the Ministry of Punishment that he suddenly realized that he had forgotten this once most capable servant in that dark place for a long time.

A feeling of guilt arose spontaneously, and as Mulan's autumn hunt was approaching, the emperor decided to let Li Yu go with her.

When Li Yu heard the news, the first person he thought of was Ruyi. He knew that although Ruyi had become Consort Xian, the emperor would never be able to let go as long as Ling Yunche was in Yikun Palace.

"In the current situation of Her Majesty Noble Concubine Xian, there is only one risky move that may give her a glimmer of hope. Since I have received Her Majesty's kindness in the past, I will definitely help her with all my strength."

Li Yu pondered in his heart.

Jinzhong didn't feel any sense of crisis at all. Li Yu's release was entirely the result of the Queen's behind-the-scenes planning. After he got through this hurdle, Li Yu had no chance of turning things around.

He simply sent two of his capable young eunuchs to follow Li Yu all the way.

After serving the emperor, Li Yu found an excuse and quietly went to Yikun Palace.

Jinzhong gasped when he heard the news. He didn't expect that his master would be so brave.

However, this cannot be said to be the Queen Mother deliberately harming him. Li Yu has his feet on his body, and no one else can control what decisions he makes.

Seeing Ruyi, Li Yu hurriedly bowed. When he looked up, his eyes were full of worry: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for coming here in such a presumptuous way. The emperor has allowed me to accompany him on the Mulan Autumn Hunt. I think this may be a good opportunity for Your Majesty to regain his favor."

Ruyi was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly: "Li Yu, the rift between me and the emperor is already deep, how can we talk about this good opportunity?"

Li Yu took a step closer and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, Ling Yunche's matter has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart. And you have fallen out of favor because of the queen's false accusation. We might as well use their strength to defeat them, but we need to be more careful."

As he spoke, he told the initial plan in his mind, "I will make all the arrangements during the autumn hunt. Your Majesty only needs to appear beside the Emperor at the right time and give him some guidance so that the Emperor can regain his..."

Ruyi looked troubled, her brows furrowed, "This plan is too dangerous. If we are not careful, both Ling Yunche and I will be doomed."

She paced back and forth in the hall, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Li Yu knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the situation is pressing and we have to take this risk. The Emperor is not completely indifferent to you. As long as we handle it properly, we will be able to turn the situation around. I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will protect you."

"What's more, Madam, have you forgotten that you and the Emperor have a childhood sweetheart relationship?"

Ruyi stopped and stared at Li Yu for a long time, then slowly said, "Well, now we can only give it a try. Li Yu, I hope you and I can succeed this time, otherwise..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, but Li Yu understood the deeper meaning.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Li Yu replied with a firm look.

After coming out of Yikun Palace, Li Yu looked up at the sky and prayed silently in his heart: "God bless me, this plan will be foolproof, please don't let down the queen's trust, and don't let my plan go to waste."

He knew that although the road ahead was full of thorns, for the sake of Ruyi and his own future, he had no choice but to move forward bravely, even if it meant risking his life.
