Balala the Magic Fairy

Deep in the Shang Palace, Ruyi and Yan Lili's plan was quietly being carried out.

However, at this moment, the arrival of an uninvited guest changed the atmosphere of the entire Shang court.

Red orange.

A disciple of Chan Buddhism.

His arrival was undoubtedly a great help to the Shang Kingdom, but it also added a bit of worry to Ruyi and Yan Lili.

Danju arrived at a grand banquet.

In order to demonstrate his strength and the prosperity of the Shang Kingdom, King Li Yu of Shang specially invited Dan Ju to come to Shang Kingdom to join the ministers of Shang Kingdom in celebrating the event.

At the banquet, Danju wore a green Taoist robe, a lotus crown on her head, and held a jade flute in her hand, exuding an extraordinary temperament.

His arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Shang King, I am Danju, a poor Taoist priest. I came to Shang Kingdom on the orders of my master. I am willing to do my part to contribute to the prosperity of Shang Kingdom."

Danju's voice was calm and powerful. His eyes swept across the hall and finally fell on Yan Lili.

Yan Lili felt Danju's gaze and her heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Danju Immortal, your name is well-known. It is a blessing for the Shang Kingdom to have your help."

There was a hint of pride in Li Yu's voice. He knew that Danju's arrival would greatly enhance the strength of Shang State.

After the banquet, Danju did not leave immediately, but made a request to Li Yu.

"King Shang, I heard that there is a Three Lotus Immortal King in the Shang Kingdom, named Li Fei. Although I am not talented, I would like to learn from her in order to improve my Taoism." There was a hint of expectation in Danju's voice.

When Li Yu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately agreed to Danju's request.

"Master Danju, your request is exactly what I want. Concubine Li, are you willing to spar with Master Danju?" Li Yu turned to Yan Lili, his voice carrying a hint of command.

Yan Lili knew that this was a challenge she could not refuse. She nodded, her voice calm and firm.

"King Shang, I am willing to learn from the immortal Danju."

Therefore, in the martial arts arena of Shang State, a contest between the Immortal Kings is about to begin.

Danju and Yan Lili stood opposite each other, both of them emitting a powerful aura, and the atmosphere in the entire training ground suddenly became tense.

"Fei Li, I've heard that you're extremely powerful. Today I'd like to see for myself." There was a hint of fighting spirit in Danju's voice.

Yan Lili smiled slightly, and her figure was surrounded by three dazzling lotus phantoms, emitting a powerful pressure.

"Master Danju, I have heard of your great name a long time ago. It is my honor to be able to learn from you today."

As the momentum of the two men continued to rise, the air in the martial arts arena seemed to begin to tremble.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for this shocking battle to begin.

Suddenly, the jade flute in Danju's hand made a crisp sound, and sound waves attacked Yan Lili like sharp swords.

Yan Lili did not dare to be careless. The Tianyu Jianzun in her hand emitted a dazzling light, forming a light curtain to block the sound waves outside.

The battle between the two began.

Danju's jade flute kept playing various melodies, and each sound wave contained powerful force. Yan Lili, relying on Tianyu Jianzun, constantly resolved Danju's attacks.

As the battle progressed, the moves of the two men became more and more sophisticated. Every blow was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air. The entire training ground was shrouded in the power of the two men.

Ruyi watched the battle quietly from the side, her heart full of worry.

She knew that the outcome of this battle would directly affect her position and plans in Shang State.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Danju and Yan Lili stopped at the same time, with a hint of respect on their faces.

"Empress Li's strength is indeed well-deserved. I admire her very much." There was a hint of admiration in Danju's voice.

Yan Lili smiled slightly.

"Master Danju, your Taoism has benefited me a lot. Thank you for your guidance."

Although the battle between the two did not result in a winner, it allowed everyone to witness the power of the Three Lotus Immortal King.

As the favorite concubine of King Shang Li Yu, Qin Keqing has always enjoyed endless honor and favor.

However, since the arrival of Ruyi and Yan Lili, she felt that her position was threatened like never before.

That day, Qin Keqing met Ruyi by chance in the garden, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"Empress, your life in Shang Kingdom doesn't seem to be as glorious as in Zhou Kingdom. Are you feeling lonely?"

Ruyi sighed softly, her voice gentle and full of wisdom.

"Princess Qin, whether in Zhou or Shang, I am the heir of a country. My duty is to maintain the peace of the country and the tranquility of the people, not to pursue personal glory and favor."

Qin Keqing sneered, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness, your words are nice to hear, but in this palace, who doesn't fight for their own status and power?"

Ruyi shook her head slightly, her voice calm and firm.

"Princess Qin, although I am a woman, I am also the mother of a country. My mind should not be limited to court disputes. I am more concerned about the well-being of the people of the world."

Qin Keqing became even more angry when she saw that Ruyi was unmoved.

Not long after, a rumor suddenly spread in the Shang court, saying that Ruyi had a secret meeting with a mysterious man at night, which damaged the national prestige of the Shang Dynasty.

This rumor quickly spread in the palace and attracted Li Yu's attention.

Li Yu summoned Ruyi to the front of the palace, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Ruyi, there have been rumors about you in the palace recently. What's your explanation?"

Ruyi's face still maintained the dignity of a queen, and her voice was calm and powerful.

"King Shang, rumors are always groundless. I, Ruyi, have behaved uprightly and do not need to explain these nonsense."

A complex emotion flashed in Li Yu's eyes. He knew Ruyi's character, but the impact of the rumors also forced him to take it seriously.

"Ruyi, I believe in your innocence, but for the stability of Shang, I hope you can be more cautious in the palace."

There was a hint of concern in Li Yu's voice.

Ruyi bowed respectfully.

"King Shang, I understand. I will be careful about my words and actions so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Shang Kingdom."

However, Qin Keqing did not give up.

She secretly instructed the palace maid to place a man's jade pendant in Ruyi's bedroom in an attempt to prove Ruyi's guilt.

When Li Yu found the jade pendant in Ruyi's bedroom, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He threw the jade pendant in front of Ruyi, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Ruyi, what is this? How do you explain it?"

Ruyi looked at the jade pendant and a trace of confusion flashed across her heart.

"King Shang, this thing does not belong to me. Someone must have framed me on purpose. I, Ruyi, am innocent and there is no need to say more." There was a hint of firmness in Ruyi's voice.

Li Yu's brows were furrowed, his eyes lingering on Ruyi, as if looking for something.

Finally, there was a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

"Ruyi, I believe you. But this matter concerns the reputation of the Shang Kingdom. I hope you can find the real culprit and set the record straight."

Ruyi nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Shang Wang, I will definitely find out the truth and clear my name."

With the help of Yan Lili, Ruyi began to secretly investigate the origin of the jade pendant.

/

With the help of Yan Lili, Ruyi found evidence that Qin Keqing instructed the palace maid to place the jade pendant.

At the court meeting, she exposed Qin Keqing's actions in front of all the ministers.

"King Shang, I have found out that this jade pendant was placed there by the palace maids under the orders of Concubine Qin in an attempt to frame me."

Ruyi's voice was calm and firm as she displayed the evidence one by one in front of everyone.

King Shang Li Yu's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Qin Keqing closely.

Qin Keqing's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear.

"Qin Keqing, how dare you do such a thing? I am extremely disappointed!"

There was a hint of anger in Li Yu's voice. He didn't expect that his beloved concubine would do such a thing.

Qin Keqing fell to her knees, her voice trembling slightly.

"Shang Wang, I...I was just confused for a moment, please have mercy on me."

Li Yu snorted coldly, without a trace of mercy in his voice.

"Qin Keqing, your behavior has violated the palace rules. I must punish you severely."

Afterwards, Li Yu ordered Qin Keqing to be banished to the cold palace, depriving her of all her rights and status.

When Qin Keqing was taken away, her eyes were full of despair and regret.

Ruyi stood aside, there was not much joy in her heart, only a hint of sadness.

"Ruyi, I am very relieved that you were able to find out the truth."

Li Yu turned to Ruyi, a hint of gratitude in his voice.

"You are not only extremely intelligent, but also kind-hearted. It is a blessing for the Shang Kingdom to have a queen like you."

Ruyi bowed respectfully.

"King Shang, I am only doing my duty. I hope that the harem will be forever peaceful and no longer disturbed by evil people."

Li Yu nodded.

"Ruyi, your status in my heart is unmatched."

/

In the court of Shang, Ruyi's status became increasingly prominent, and her wisdom and beauty won the favor of King Shang Li Yu.

However, every night when she serves the king in bed, Ruyi has to face the king's special hobby, which makes her physically and mentally exhausted.

Li Yu is a wise monarch during the day, but at night he has a dark side.

His torture of Ruyi was not out of malice, but rather stemmed from his desire for power and control, and his compensation for his unfulfilled sexual desires.

When the night was quiet, Ruyi was often alone, facing herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes filled with helplessness and pain.

She knew that as the concubine of the King of Shang, she had to endure all this, but deep in her heart, her desire for freedom had never been extinguished.

"Empress, you are in deep thought again." Yan Lili walked into the bedroom quietly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Ruyi sighed softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

"Li Fei, sometimes I really wish I could escape from all this."

A hint of determination flashed across Yan Lili's eyes.

"My lady, I will support you no matter what you decide to do. You are not fighting alone."

A warm feeling surged in Ruyi's heart, she knew that Yan Lili was her most loyal friend.

/

Deep in the Shang Dynasty's palace, Ruyi's physical condition gradually attracted everyone's attention.

Her face became increasingly paler and she often felt unwell. After diagnosis by the medical officer, it was confirmed that she had a blood disease caused by Xuanpu bleeding.

When King Shang Li Yu learned about this, he was deeply worried. He immediately ordered the gathering of all the medical experts in the country to treat Ruyi.

In Ruyi's bedroom, Li Yu held her hand tightly, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Ruyi, don't worry, I will definitely find the best doctor to cure you of this disease."

Ruyi forced a smile, her voice soft but firm.
