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

The palace maid that Rong Pei left behind frowned, but ultimately said nothing.

When the emperor came over, he found that Ruyi was not in the palace. He sat in the main hall with a frown on his face. "You said that Concubine Xian asked you to invite me over because she had something important to tell you. Where is Concubine Xian now?"

惢心 was so frightened that she saw black in front of her eyes. On the one hand, she resented why Ruyi did nothing in the palace all the time but admired armor and sang songs on the wall. On the other hand, she was worried that Rong Pei would be sold out to the emperor as soon as she opened her mouth, which would result in her being beheaded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."惢心 kept swallowing her saliva. She had been serving Ruyi and knew that Ruyi had no friends in the harem except Yehenara, the one presented to the emperor by the empress dowager.

If she ran out for no reason at this time, she would most likely go to Ling Yunche to "vent her heart out"!

She prayed in her heart that Ruyi was not so crazy and would go out in broad daylight to meet Ling Yunche.

"Your Highness has been sending me to invite you these days, but you have been too busy with government affairs and have not been able to come to see you. I am afraid that your Highness has been too depressed these days and it is time for her to go out. I will go and find you now."

Because she was too anxious, her words were incoherent, but fortunately she successfully helped Ruyi to gain sympathy.

Now she only hopes that the emperor will show mercy and let her run away quickly to find Ruyi.

Li Yu didn't know how deep the bond between Ruyi and Ling Yunche, a pair of soul mates, was, but fortunately, after being with the emperor for so many years, he had already gotten used to observing his words and expressions. Looking at惢心's current look, he knew that something must be wrong.

"Your Majesty, I will go to see Concubine Xian. Please have some tea and snacks here. Suo Xin said that Concubine Xian has made many paintings in recent days."

Although Li Yu didn't know where Ruyi was now, he had to leave someone familiar with Yikun Palace to introduce Ruyi's "regret" and "deep affection" to the emperor these days.

Although Jinzhong had the opportunity to serve the emperor closely these days, he saw the situation very clearly and knew that as long as Li Yu did not fall, he would not have the opportunity to make further progress.

At this time, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you are used to being served by Eunuch Li on weekdays. Why don't I go and ask the Majesty? I am a quick runner."

He wanted to see what this palace maid beside Concubine Xian was hiding.

The emperor nodded and said, "Jinzhong, you go."

"The slave obeys the order."

Jinzhong smiled and retreated. As soon as he went out, he asked several palace maids who were waiting outside, "The emperor is waiting for your queen inside. Has anyone seen your queen go out and which direction she went?"

Several palace maids exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of them, who had just been scolded by Rong Pei and fined two months' salary, stood up and said, "To answer Eunuch Jinzhong's question, the queen should have gone in the direction of Kunning Palace."

Jinzhong thought about it for a moment and remembered who was in Kunning Palace.

Isn't that where Ling Yunche, the cold palace guard who saved Concubine Xian's life, is on duty? He doesn't think Concubine Xian has nothing to do when she goes to Kunning Palace.

"Thank you." Jinzhong felt that he would definitely encounter a very interesting scene when he rushed over, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The palace maid did not feel any guilt. Ruyi has prided herself on being upright over the years and has never avoided people in her actions. As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If Concubine Xian really had nothing to do with that guard, she was just pointing Jinzhong in the right direction so that the Concubine could come back earlier to serve the Emperor.

If there was something going on between the two of them, someone else would find out sooner or later even if she didn't say it.

Ling Yunche and Ruyi sympathized with each other and comforted each other for a long time.

It was so long that Ruyi felt she had nothing to say. She adjusted her mindset and prepared to return to the palace to lament that the emperor had been deceived and that the friendship between childhood sweethearts was not so indestructible.

Ling Yunche suddenly called out to Ruyi, "Your Majesty!"

Ruyi stopped and looked back in a perfect pose, "What else is there, Guard Ling?"

"My queen, I have treasured the pair of Ruyi cloud-patterned boots you gave me. I use them as encouragement to remind myself not to forget your kindness."

Ling Yunche scratched his head embarrassedly, then took something out of his arms and handed it to Ruyi.

Ruyi leaned forward slightly, raised her armor and did not take the thing directly. Instead, she fiddled with Ling Yunche's open palm twice, stretched her neck forward, raised her eyebrows and pouted her lips and asked, "What is this~"

Jinzhong was staring at them with a puzzled look not far away.

The distance was perfect, neither too far nor too close, just enough to hear the conversation between the two of them, and also to see exactly what was in Ling Yunche's hand.

He did not take the initiative to step forward to interrupt them, but let the two of them finish what they had not said.

"I used my salary saved for several months to buy this ruby ​​ring. I wanted to give it to Yan Wan as a token of our love. This is the most valuable thing on my body, Your Majesty—"

Ruyi seemed a little surprised, and seemed to have some reservations, so she didn't just reach out to take the thing.

Even though Jinzhong had prepared himself mentally before coming here, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard such words.

The Emperor is now in his prime. Judging from his appearance alone, he seems to be a few years younger than Concubine Xian. How could Concubine Xian be so bold?

He waited quietly by the side for Ruyi to call for help to capture the bold guard. However, not only did Ruyi not call for help, but the smile on her face deepened.

"Are you planning to ask me to give this thing to Wei Yanwan?"

Jinzhong immediately identified the person. Wei Yanwan was the senior maidservant beside the Empress and was deeply trusted by the Empress.

"No. After your advice and teachings, I have already decided to draw a clear line between myself and Yan Wan. I have nothing, but I always want to repay you in some way. If you don't mind, please accept this ring, as a way to repay your kindness in giving me the boots."

Jinzhong sneered.

Although he didn't know what the so-called boots looked like, but after standing aside and listening for so long, he was more or less clear about it. The boots with Ruyi cloud pattern, didn't they just match "Ruyi" and "Ling Yunche" perfectly?

Even if the guards saved her life, if a concubine wanted to thank them, she would just give them some gold and silver or grant them a marriage. How could she privately give something she had embroidered by herself as a reward?

What's more, these boots are intimate items given to her husband, father and brothers. If there is nothing going on between this Concubine Xian and Ling Yunche, he is willing to be swallowed by the stone steps at the entrance of Yikun Palace.

And what about Ling Yunche? If he heard correctly, Ling Yunche gave the gem ring that he had given to another woman but was rejected or even returned by the other woman to Concubine Xian?

He could tell that the quality of the gem was terrible without even getting close. How could Ling Yunche have the nerve to say that he had saved up several months' salary to buy that ring?

Has the treatment of the guards in Kunning Palace become so bad? Or did he spend his salary on some brothel or tavern?

Jinzhong just stood aside and watched the two of them talking as if no one was around. For a moment, he felt it was very ridiculous.
