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

Chapter 99 Is there an assassin in Yikun Palace?

"The lady is beautiful. I heard that the woman who lived in Qixiang Palace had asked the imperial physician to come many times before giving birth, asking the imperial physician to prepare some ointment that could restore the figure of the woman who gave birth to that of a young girl."

Ruyi turned her head slightly and listened quietly. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't hide the contempt on her face.

Suo Xin continued, "The pearls used in the ointment must be South China pearls."

Ruyi let惢心 massage her fingers so that she would look more delicate when she wore the armor in the future. "Although the South Pearl is precious, there is nothing wrong with it if the emperor agrees."

Rong Pei quickly followed up and said, "Your Majesty is different from others. You don't need to rely on your looks to please the Emperor. The Emperor's heart is with you anyway. No matter how many tricks others use, it's just that ugly people are more likely to do evil."

Ruyi curled her lips.惢心's few words just now didn't hit the point, but Rong Pei's words really touched her heart, but she couldn't admit it.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Rong Pei agreed in a low voice, "Yes, my lady."

Suddenly, Rong Pei paused, as if she remembered something, and frowned slightly. She hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "My lady, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Ruyi smiled at Rong Pei and said, "Rong Pei, feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Rong Pei lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "My lady, I have been in this palace for many years, and have seen many people and things. There are some things that I have kept in my heart for a long time, and I can't help but speak them out."

Ruyi nodded slightly, signaling Rong Pei to continue.

Rong Pei took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, speaking of the concubines in the harem, I feel that there are some things I have to say."

"Let's talk about Empress Fucha. Although she is the empress, she always pretends to be so. She looks dignified and generous on weekdays, but in fact, in order to maintain her status and the honor of her family, I don't know how many shameful things she has done."

"She always acts like she's superior, but in fact, she's more calculating than anyone else."

Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "Rong Pei, don't speak nonsense. The Queen is the Queen after all, we should respect her."

Rong Pei disagreed and continued, "Your Majesty, I know I shouldn't speak nonsense, but this is all true. In order to make her son the crown prince, the queen did not hesitate to suppress the children of other concubines and even framed others. How can her behavior be like that of a queen?"

Suo Xin stood aside and felt very confused. She had no idea who the queen she was talking about was.

When did the current Empress Fucha do such an excessive thing?

Empress Fucha was Rong Pei's master before! Now he actually has the guts to talk about Empress Fucha's problems behind her back.

Ruyi sighed and said, "Rong Pei, the Queen also has her difficulties. Being in that position, there are many things that cannot be decided by her."

How dare Ruyi respond like this at this time?

Rong Pei disagreed with Ruyi's statement. She said, "Your Majesty, I think the Queen cares too much about her status and power, so she did those things. She doesn't know how to think about others, and only thinks about her own interests."

Suo Xin silently remembered this matter and planned to tell the Queen secretly.

Then, Rong Pei talked about Concubine Gao again. "And Concubine Gao, although she is beautiful, she has no opinion of her own. She only knows how to be the queen's follower all day long, and she does whatever the queen says."

"She has no ideas of her own and doesn't know how to plan for herself. Such a person will sooner or later be used by others in this harem."

Suo Xin now began to wonder if the old maid in front of her was crazy? Why did she not even let go of the Imperial Concubine after she had just spoken about the Empress?

Ruyi shook her head slightly and said, "Noble Concubine Gao is also a pitiful person. She was used by the Queen without knowing it. She just wanted to gain the Emperor's favor, but she didn't know that she had fallen into someone else's trap."

Rong Pei didn't think so. She said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Gao is not pitiful. She has no brains, so she deserves to be used by others. If she had a little opinion of her own, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

What happened to Concubine Gao? Not only can she help manage the six palaces, but she also lives a good life in the harem and has a lovely little princess.

Suo Xin took a deep breath and began to thoroughly wonder whether the scenes she was thinking of were real.

Or is it that I am the only one in the entire harem and am now mentally unstable?

Then, Rong Pei talked about Concubine Chun again.

惢心 really didn't know what expression she should make. Could it be that Rong Pei was planning to judge all the concubines in the harem just because of what she said about Jin Yuyan?

"Besides, Concubine Chun's mind is full of children. She would do anything for her children. But now, she is old and ugly, and the emperor doesn't like her much. She still doesn't know how to restrain herself, and she only thinks about planning for her children all day long. Such a person will not have a good ending in this harem."

Ruyi sighed slightly and said, "Concubine Chun is also a mother. It is natural for her to think about her children. But in this harem, being too obsessed with certain things will often bring trouble to yourself."

These master and servant really go back and forth with each other!

Rong Pei disagreed with Ruyi's statement. She said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is too selfish. She only thinks about her children and doesn't care about other people's feelings. People like her will only make people hate her in this harem."

Finally, Rong Pei talked about Hai Lan. "And that noble lady Hai, who is usually quiet and harmless. But in fact, she is full of bad intentions. She always schemes against others behind their backs and will do anything to achieve her goals."

Although Hailan was like this in her previous life, and there was no good ending, but...

Suo Xin didn't know what Hai Lan was like in her previous life, but she knew that Hai Guiren had never offended anyone in this life. She just stayed there and took care of the children obediently, so who did she offend?

Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "Rong Pei, you can't say that about Hailan. Hailan is a kind person, she is just trying to protect herself. In this harem, if you don't learn to protect yourself, how can you survive?"

Rong Pei disagreed with Ruyi's statement. She said, "Your Majesty, I think Concubine Hai is too scheming. She looks weak on the surface, but in fact, she knows more than anyone else. She knows when to do what, and how to use others to achieve her goals."

Ruyi looked at Rong Pei and said helplessly: "Rong Pei, you can't always look at others in this way. In this harem, everyone has their own difficulties and helplessness. We can't just judge others based on our own subjective assumptions."

Rong Pei listened to Ruyi's words, lowered her head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just angry at the moment, so I said these words. In the future, I will pay attention to my words and deeds, and will not make random comments about others anymore."

This conversation is really good.

Ruyi nodded slightly and said, "Rong Pei, you must remember that in this harem, we must learn to be tolerant and understanding. Don't judge others' right or wrong easily, because we ourselves may not be perfect either."

Rong Pei nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, I will remember this. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and will not cause trouble to you again."

惢心 served Ruyi without saying a word, but her mind became clearer and clearer. It seemed that Ruyi had always been like this since she didn't know when. Even if the servants said something against the rules or unreasonable, she would just raise them high and put them down gently.

Rather than being kind and gentle to her servants, Ruyi's behavior is more like speaking her true feelings through the servants' mouths.

Sooner or later, disaster will come.

"Empress..." Rong Pei was just about to help Ruyi go to bed when she heard a shout from outside.

"There is an assassin—"

Sanbao was carrying water and about to enter the hall when he saw a man dressed in a white robe like a monk, using his superb martial arts to jump out by stepping on the glazed tiles on the eaves.

He didn't have time to think, and subconsciously thought that someone was coming to assassinate him, so he immediately shouted loudly to the guards around to gather around and chase the thief.

The shouting was so loud that it soon alarmed the master and his servants in the room.

Rong Pei took a few steps forward and stood beside Ruyi, and惢心 also protected her, fearing that the thief would break in and hurt Ruyi.

Ruyi looked outside in confusion.

The guards on patrol were also shouting warnings and searching for the assassin with lanterns in their hands.

Sanbao rushed in, "Master, something happened."

"what happened?"

"I just boiled some hot water and was about to put it outside the warm room for you to use. But when I passed the yard, I saw an assassin in white clothes. I was startled and shouted subconsciously. The assassin spotted me and jumped over the wall and ran away without saying a word."

Sanbao briefly explained what he had just seen and heard.

Ruyi was also a little anxious when she heard this. "Yikun Palace was allocated to me by the Emperor himself. It has always been heavily guarded, with guards patrolling outside every day. How could there be an assassin?"

She really couldn't imagine who would go through so much trouble to sneak into Yikun Palace just to assassinate the emperor's only true love.

"So what's going on now? Have they been caught?"

Sanbao didn't know why the assassin came to Yikun Palace for no reason, but he still answered Ruyi's question, "The assassin ran very fast and has disappeared. But I just heard that the guards patrolling outside have gone to look for him, but they may not have found him yet."

Ruyi frowned, "Hurry up and report this matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to send more people to guard the Yikun Palace and conduct a thorough investigation of the six palaces in the east and west. The most important thing is to send more people to protect the emperor."

She arranged everything without saying a word.

Sanbao knew that this matter was very important, so he didn't dare to delay on the road and ran directly over to report.

Suo Xin stood aside and hesitated, "My Lord, you are only a concubine now. Now that such a big thing has happened in the harem, should you send someone to report it to the Queen?"

She didn't know whether what she said was right or wrong, but in addition to reporting to the emperor, everything that happened in the harem had to be decided by the current master of the harem, the queen.

Ruyi glanced at her, and before she could say anything, Rong Pei stood up first, "The situation is urgent now, and it's already late. Your Majesty was able to make a prudent decision in such a critical moment. It won't be too late to report it to the Empress tomorrow. I think the Empress won't blame you."

Suo Xin felt a chill on her back.

Again.

That weird feeling.

Ruyi really didn't say anything and lightly skipped over the topic. "Don't sleep too much tonight. The assassin hasn't been caught yet. Yikun Palace is the most dangerous place right now. Everyone should be alert. Rong Pei, let's go."

The atmosphere in Yikun Palace was solemn.

Suoxin stood in a corner of the palace, her brows furrowed, her heart full of doubts.

Ever since Sanbao discovered the assassin in Yiku Palace, Suo Xin has been thinking about the identity of this assassin.
