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

Even so, it was clear that childhood sweethearts' good days could not last long. Not long after the emperor left the palace, Ruyi also began to act.

Ruyi knew that the rift between her and the emperor was deep. If she did not find a solution, her future would be...

I'm afraid I'll have to endure the days in a cold palace.

That day, she dressed up carefully and, as Li Yu instructed, went to the Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager with trepidation and determination.

Seeing the Queen Mother leisurely sipping tea, Ruyi hurried forward to pay her respects: "Your Highness pays your respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be in good health."

The Queen Mother raised her eyes, glanced at Ruyi, sipped her tea, and said slowly: "Noble Concubine Xian, why did you come here today?"

Ruyi bowed her head slightly and said softly, "There is now some rift between the emperor and me. I know that I am at fault. I have failed to be a noble concubine and failed to serve the emperor well."

"But I still hope to reconcile with the emperor, to bring peace to the harem and harmony to the royal family. The queen mother has always been wise, and I beg her to give me some advice and help me this time."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said this. If she hadn't known, she would have thought she was the Queen.

The Queen Mother put down her teacup and smiled, "I thought Imperial Concubine Xian was very smart and could resolve all the issues in the palace by herself, but why are you begging me now? This is the Emperor's business, how can I interfere?"

Ruyi's heart tightened, but she still said, "I understand that this is a private matter between me and the emperor, but now that the situation is deadlocked, I really have no other choice."

"I think if the Queen Mother can lend a little help, the Emperor might listen to her. This will be good for the stability of the harem and the reproduction of the royal family."

This is about Yonghui.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment. She didn't want to get involved in such a dispute, but when she thought of the Queen's plan, she also thought that Rongyin would not do it for no reason. Besides, Ruyi came to ask for help on her own initiative, so doing her a favor might be useful in the future.

So, she sighed softly: "Forget it, considering your sincerity, I will help you this time. But whether this method will succeed or not depends on the emperor's mind."

Ruyi was overjoyed and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will definitely remember your kindness."

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Ruyi found a simple carriage waiting outside the palace gate according to the prior arrangement with Li Yu.

Beside the carriage, Qingmei and Ling Yunche stood quietly.

Ruyi walked closer and said to Qingmei, "Qingmei, thank you for your hard work driving today."

Qingmei bent her knees slightly and said, "I shall obey your Majesty's orders, but..." She glanced at Ling Yunche and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Ruyi understood her concerns and said softly, "Ling Yunche is weak now, so it would be better for someone to take care of him in the carriage. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

After that, she turned and walked towards the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Ling Yunche: "Come in."

Ling Yunche was startled and said hurriedly: "My lady, this is against etiquette."

Ruyi frowned, "This is not the time to be so rigid about etiquette. You are not in good health right now, and it is not easy for me to bring you out. Please don't refuse."

Ling Yunche hesitated for a moment, but still got into the carriage.

The carriage started slowly, and Qingmei sat in the driver's seat, feeling helpless. She muttered, "This is really strange. Even though a grown man has become a eunuch, he shouldn't be in the same carriage with the queen. If I didn't know how to drive, I'm afraid the queen would really leave me in the middle of the road."

In the carriage, Ruyi looked at Ling Yunche's pale face, and a trace of pity rose in her heart: "Ling Yunche, you have suffered."

Ling Yunche forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I am fine. I just don't know how much risk Your Majesty has taken by bringing me out this time."

Ruyi's eyes were firm: "I will try to win back the emperor's heart and earn a future for you. The situation in the palace is complicated. You have always been smart. I need your help."

Ling Yunche nodded slightly: "I will do my best to serve you, but the emperor has a deep prejudice against you, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to change."

Ruyi leaned against the wall of the car and said slowly, "I know, but I can't just sit there and wait for death. I asked the Queen Mother for help today, which is the first step. Next, we have to make a long-term plan."

As they were talking, the carriage suddenly jolted. Qingmei shouted from outside, "Madam, the road ahead is a bit bumpy, please sit tight."

Ruyi responded, turned to Ling Yunche and said, "Rest well first, I will tell you in detail when we get there."

Ling Yunche closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

He was originally a small guard, but now he is involved in the bottomless harem struggle, and there is absolutely no possibility for him and Ruyi to be together anymore.

He knew that the road ahead was difficult, but he had no way out and could only follow Ruyi, step by step.

The carriage moved slowly forward on the official road. The interior of the carriage fell into silence for a moment, with only the sounds of rolling wheels and the clatter of horse hooves.

After a long time, the carriage gradually approached a remote inn. Ruyi gently woke Ling Yunche up and said, "We're here. Let's stay here first."

Ling Yunche opened his eyes and perked up: "Yes, Madam."

Everyone got off the carriage and walked into the inn.

Although this place is relatively remote, it is also decorated quite exquisitely. Ruyi looked around and said to Qingmei, "Go prepare some food and hot water. Ling Yunche, you come with me."

Qingmei immediately went to arrange accommodation.

When they arrived at one room, Ruyi sat down and looked at Ling Yunche and said, "I would like to know about the emperor's preferences and whereabouts during the Mulan Autumn Hunt. Have you heard anything?"

Ling Yunche thought for a moment and said, "I heard that during the autumn hunt, the emperor paid close attention to a concubine named Ke and a concubine named Ying. The two of them were good at riding and shooting, and they were very heroic and valiant, which pleased the emperor."

Ruyi felt a pang in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm: "Oh? It seems that there will be two more favored people in the palace."

As she was talking, Qingmei came in with food and hot water. "My queen, everything is ready."

Ruyi looked at the food on the table and said to Ling Yunche, "Eat something first to replenish your energy. I will think about what to do next."

Ling Yunche thanked Ruyi and started eating.

Ruyi paced aside, deep in thought.

She knew that the road to winning favor was full of thorns, but for the sake of her position in the palace and her relationship with the emperor, she had to do her best.

Qingmei sighed and began to envy惢心's good luck.
