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

Chapter 67 Countdown to Suo Xin's Escape

The Queen Mother has arranged for the court officials to put pressure on him more than once these days. Now that he has ascended the throne and his children are so grown up, the Queen Mother's hands can still reach so far.

And he didn't know how many tricks he had done in the past few days to prevent his daughter from getting married.

But what about the Queen...

The queen knew that she was in a difficult situation. Even though she was reluctant to leave her daughter, she never complained to him at all. She still managed the harem for him with all her heart and took care of him.

I thought my daughter had been spoiled all the time, but it turned out to be so sensible. She was raised in the palace since she was a child and was always taken care of by me like the apple of my eye. She had never suffered any hardship.

After learning that she might marry into the grassland, Jingse not only did not cry, she even thought about the problem from his father's perspective, showing the overall view and magnanimity of a princess. She is worthy of being his daughter and really has his style.

The emperor looked at the bowl of soup on his desk and pondered for a while. "Go and ask Jingse to come to me. I want to see her."

The maid immediately agreed and went back to find her princess without stopping.

Li Yu stepped back appropriately, his eyelids twitching.

As he had already defected to Ruyi a long time ago, he naturally knew about some kind of agreement between Ruyi and the Empress Dowager these days. After all, Ruyi did not hide it from him, and even asked惢心 to ask him to keep an eye on the Emperor. As long as the Empress made any unusual moves, he should immediately go to Yikun Palace to report the situation.

Although Li Yu was also very happy to see Concubine Xian finally switch from her calm and quiet mode to her high-spirited mode, he felt deep down that Concubine Xian had no way to compete with the Queen in any way.

But for Ruoxin, he still has to do what he should do.

So, without saying anything, he went to Yikun Palace to report the news.

Jingse had already prepared herself and was waiting for the emperor's summons. After receiving the news, Jingse took a deep breath and said, "I will never let the emperor's plan fail!"

When Li Yu ran over, Ruyi was happily embroidering and asked惢心 to show her how the lychees on the handkerchief were embroidered.

"The emperor said a few days ago that the handkerchief I embroidered for him was old, and he pestered me to embroider a new one for him. It must be because he carries it with him all the time that the handkerchief has become worn out. Suo Xin, look, what do you think of the lychees on it?"

Because it was her brother Hongli, she specially chose red silk thread, embroidered lychees, and used the homonym of his name.

"The Emperor had to review every handkerchief we embroidered in the cold palace before Ling Yunche could sell them without any worries."

Suo Xin really couldn't understand why her master suddenly brought up such a thing, but her face still showed a bit of impatience.

If the emperor really cared about her as the master said, why didn't he just arrange for someone to send some silver and money over without anyone knowing, but just looked at the handkerchief.

The most important thing is that she nearly went blind from embroidering the handkerchief, but Ling Yunche actually dared to take half of the money in a brazen manner!

Was that person not afraid of the emperor's blame, or did she not take her master seriously? She was just a servant, and her master would not listen to her anyway. Suo Xin had also learned to be smart, and now she could only deal with it absent-mindedly.

"The emperor is affectionate and the master is intelligent. The emperor will surely be touched when he sees the little ingenuity you put into the handkerchief."

Ruyi nodded in satisfaction and then buried her head in embroidery.

"Eunuch Li Yu." Suo Xin was surprised to see Li Yu rushing over. "Bring a cup of tea over."

"Your servant greets Concubine Xian." Li Yu greeted Ruyi first, and then took the tea from Suo Xin. "Concubine Xian, today Princess Hejing sent someone to bring snacks and soup to the emperor, and also said a lot of words of retreating to advance. The emperor has now sent someone to inform Princess Hejing."

Ruyi smiled at Li Yu and said, "Thank you for your hard work.惢心, go to the Queen Mother and tell her that she wants to add fuel to the fire."

Princess Hejing can play the emotional card with the emperor. She can then let the empress dowager use the court situation to put pressure on the emperor, and in the end, she will be the only winner.

Although Li Yu didn't know what kind of deal was reached between Ruyi and the Queen Mother, so far it seemed that Ruyi was determined to win and she would not suffer any loss easily.

He had said everything he needed to say, and matters in the harem were not something he could interfere with, so he took his leave.

The fact that Li Yu has now taken refuge with Ruyi is no longer a secret in the entire palace. Smart people know that he is eyeing Ruyi's maids, thinking that by constantly showing his goodwill now, Ruyi will give him惢心 as her partner in the future.

Originally, this kind of thing was strictly prohibited in the harem, but Li Yu was a very capable eunuch beside the emperor, and the person he relied on was the emperor's childhood sweetheart who he always held in his heart.

The emperor didn't mind Li Yu passing some information to Ruyi in private. Perhaps the emperor felt that this was a disguised form of protection for Ruyi, so Rongyin simply turned a blind eye to Li Yu's behavior.

Rong Yin decided to give the emperor face before he made any decisive mistake.

Li Yu was able to grasp the right balance at the beginning. Even when he went to Yikun Palace to tip off the enemy, the things he said were all trivial. But once he got involved in this matter, things were different.

Actually, this matter had no direct interest to Ruyi. After all, she had no children now. It was just a struggle between the Queen and the Queen Mother. However, Li Yu got involved in this matter in order to show goodwill.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother would not care about Li Yu at all. As long as the Queen gets angry, coupled with the accumulation of all the things Li Yu had done before, she would have to peel off a layer of his skin before taking his life.

However, there was a twist in this matter.

Suo Xin did not go directly to the Queen Mother, but came to Changchun Palace.

When she reached the gate of Changchun Palace, she found a layer of cold sweat on her back, but she had already come this far and she would not go back.

"I want to see Wei Yanwan."

The little palace maid who was sweeping outside naturally knew惢心, and immediately replied with a smile, "Sister惢心, please wait a moment." Then she turned around and went into the house to look for Wei Yanwan.

When Wei Yanwan came out, she saw that Suo Xin's face was pale and her eyes were hesitant, and she knew that the loyal servant's mind had finally become clearer. "Sister Suo Xin, how come you have time to come to Changchun Palace today?"

When Suo Xin saw Wei Yanwan's rosy face and radiant appearance, she knew that the Queen was a kind-hearted person. She paused, then pulled Wei Yanwan over, with such great strength in her hands that she herself did not even notice it.

"Her Royal Concubine Xian went to see the Empress Dowager a few days ago. She asked the Empress Dowager to deliberately spread the news that she was planning to marry Princess Hengti to the Khorchin tribe. This was to force the Fucha family to put pressure on the Empress Dowager and to intensify the conflict between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

"Just now the Emperor sent someone to inform Princess Hejing, and Concubine Xian also asked me to report this to the Queen Mother, so that she can add fuel to the fire of spreading the news of her daughter's marriage."

1848

Wei Yanwan looked at惢心 with a smile on her face. She knew more details about this matter than惢心 did.

But I really didn't expect that Suo Xin would come to Changchun Palace without any scruples at this time.

"Logically speaking, this matter is so important that you should stand on your master's side no matter what. If we, the Changchun Palace, knew about it in advance, it would not be good for either your master or you."

Wei Yanwan slowly pulled her aside.

After hearing this,惢心 turned around and was about to leave. She didn't know why she came here, and she didn't know what kind of thoughts came from when she said these words just now, but she always felt that she couldn't help Ruyi harm others.

She would not choose to stand on the side of others, nor would she choose to help her master to harm others. In this entire Forbidden City, no matter who you are, you should live well.

"Or do you think that what your master did is not worthy of being mentioned in public?"

Suo Xin wanted to break free, but Wei Yanwan's grip seemed too strong. She struggled several times but failed to leave. "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"If you didn't feel guilty at all, you would have already argued for your master earlier, instead of asking me to let you go. Don't you think you are being a little bluff now?"

What an honest and dull person like Suoxin needs most is someone who can stimulate her.

Wei Yanwan felt a little bit of a pity in her heart. If this person had followed a kind-hearted person like the Empress Dowager from the beginning, then not only would she have married an imperial physician in glory, even if she had never left the palace in this life, she would have been able to achieve the status of Aunt Fujia who was beside the Empress Dowager in the future.

It’s a pity that he followed Ulanara and ended up with a lame leg, and he didn’t have much savings when he left.

She was originally a palace maid. Although she later became an imperial concubine, she also knew how worthless the life of a palace maid was and how difficult her life was.

"惢心!" Wei Yanwan suddenly raised her voice.惢心 was frightened and shivered, and she was afraid to turn her head and look into her eyes.

惢心 is now in a mess, and her heart is also in turmoil. At the beginning, her master and the emperor were in love with each other, and the affection between them was incomparable to others. Moreover, when she was in the palace, she treated the people around her very kindly, and never had the intention of actively vying for favor. It was always other people who bullied her master.

But she didn't know when her master began to show various changes. She began to suspect that others said they would not fight for anything, but in reality they were fighting and snatching. They suffered so much in the cold palace, and when they came out, they pretended that they didn't care about anything.

"What can I do? I also know that we, as servants, have no right to feel sorry for our masters. Whether it's Princess Hengti or Princess Hejing, even if they are really sent out to marry, it has nothing to do with us."

Wei Yanwan sat quietly by the side, but never let go of Suo Xin's wrist.

Chunchan and the others have already found a good home, so she doesn't need to worry about them anymore. She has plenty of patience for惢心, who has always been kind-hearted, has never done anything bad, and has never harmed others.

"But I can't just watch you do what you know is wrong, and I still remember your help in front of the cold palace."

Suoxin has been suffering from guilt and pain these days. She doesn't know what to do or what she can do.

"The Queen is a good person. I have lived in the harem for such a long time, but I have never seen such a good person. It is really a blessing for you to be with the Queen. This is something that others cannot envy."

"And the entire harem knows about the Queen's health..." When惢心 said this, she looked up at Wei Yanwan again, making sure that there was no unpleasant expression on the other's face, and then she carefully changed her wording.

"If Princess Hejing really went to a place as far away as the grassland, the Queen would definitely miss her terribly. It would be bad if she got sick. I don't know why I came here today. If you could remind the Queen in advance..."

Suo Xin now felt that every word she spoke was incoherent, but she still tried her best to express all the thoughts in her heart.

Wei Yanwan sat aside and sighed softly, "If you don't mind me talking too much, I will tell you what's in my heart. You can also take a break here. The Queen has a good temper and won't mind."

When惢心 raised her head, her face looked a little confused. She had no interaction with Wei Yanwan before, and she didn't know what Wei Yanwan wanted to say to her at this time.

"You should know about Sister Lianxin, who used to be with the Queen. The Queen allowed her to leave the palace because she had reached the age, and also prepared a generous gift. I don't mean to instigate, but according to age..."

Suo Xin should have left the palace long ago.

"Moreover, when she was in the cold palace, Ulanara had been demoted to a commoner. Logically, she was not allowed to have any palace maids to serve her. But you followed her in. Think carefully, was it because you followed her in to preserve the master-servant relationship, or because she felt that no one was around to take care of her?"

"Everyone in the palace knows that you and Doctor Jiang from the Imperial Hospital are in love. According to the age of Sister Lianxin, it should have been your turn a long time ago. Up to now, has the good master you mentioned considered a way out for you?"

"If your master is really good to you, or if everything he does is really right, why would you struggle so hard to come to my Changchun Palace now?"

"You have come to Changchun Palace. In fact, you have already made a decision in your heart. Sometimes you don't need to be swayed by other people's affairs. Ask your heart carefully."

After hearing this, Suo Xin felt a chill on her back. She walked out of Changchun Palace with weak steps and went to report the good news to the Empress Dowager as instructed by Ruyi.

What Suo Xin didn't notice was that Wei Yanwan was behind her, looking at her indifferently.
