Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Fu Cha Langya covered her chest and said with suppressed fear, "Grave soil? It looks like it really is a female ghost, coming back to seek revenge?"

The emperor's brow furrowed even more tightly.

Ruyi pretended to be scared and said timidly, "Don't scare me, Queen. Listening to this in the middle of the night really makes my back go cold.

It was all my fault for not managing the harem properly, which caused Concubine Jia to be frightened. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor unconsciously clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand, "Ruyi, if you are afraid, go back to the palace first.

What happened today was an accident and has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself."

"I'm not afraid." Ruyi moved closer to the emperor with a slight tremor.

"With the Emperor's dragon aura intimidating him, ordinary ghosts would not dare to approach him. I feel more at ease staying by His Majesty's side."

Ruyi's docile and docile appearance is very much to the emperor's liking.

The emperor gestured for her to sit next to him, and Ruyi obediently leaned over, with half of her body resting on the emperor's arm.

Fu Cha Langya gritted her teeth secretly, this Imperial Concubine Xian was really good at flattering and vying for favor.

She turned her face away and tried hard to ignore the loving scene between the emperor and Ruyi.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

Yu Hu bowed and continued at the emperor’s signal, “In Qixiang Palace, Concubine Jia, who had seen the ghost girl’s face, was in poor health, and Zhenshu was unconscious.

The other palace servants said that they only saw her figure briefly and did not dare to look at her face.

However, Feng Da Ying in the side hall and a little palace maid beside her seemed to have come face to face with the female ghost.

Although Feng Da Ying fainted from shock, the little maid was still conscious. Does the emperor want to summon her to question her?"

The emperor nodded. Soon, the little palace maid was brought up by Jin Bao.

"I am Hongying, your servant, paying my respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Xian." She prostrated herself on the ground, and although her body was shaking with fear, she still did not forget the proper etiquette.

Ruyi was a little surprised. It was Wei Yanwan?

Wasn't she working in the greenhouse? When was her name changed and she was transferred back to Qixiang Palace?

Could it be because of the Yaohuang Peony incident in Changchun Palace again?

But, that day, Ruyi did not wear Yao Huang clothes to deliberately provoke Fucha Langya, nor did she remind Wei Yanwan not to mention her name?

Ruyi's eyelids drooped slightly and her brows were slightly furrowed.

He was thinking about how to find a reason to transfer her out of Qixiang Palace.

"Get up." The emperor picked up the white porcelain cloud-patterned teacup, took a sip of the warm tea, and said, "Since you have seen the true appearance of the female ghost, describe it in detail.

If you have any clues, I will naturally reward you handsomely. But if you are lying, I will not let you off easily."

"I saw the ghost girl wearing a bloodstained white dress, with long hair, and her feet... her feet were not touching the ground..."

Fu Cha Langya frowned, "These descriptions have already been explained by other palace servants. It seems that you saw the same thing as them.

Your Majesty, I think there is no need to investigate further, let’s comfort the baby in Jiapin’s belly first.”

Things were at a stalemate, and the emperor was getting a little impatient. He glanced at Li Yu and motioned him to take the man away.

Wei Yanwan suddenly thought of a solution and said, "Your Majesty, I remember someone seemed to call that female ghost Su Lian. Moreover, that female ghost had injuries on her body!"

After these words were spoken, Fu Cha Langya's expression changed slightly.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Wei Yanwan, "What's the injury?"

"It's... it's a sword wound."

Wei Yanwan swallowed secretly. Fortune and wealth must be sought through risk. If she didn't say it now, she might never have the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor again.

"In reply to the emperor, Feng promised to be attacked by a female ghost. Fortunately, a guard arrived in time and injured the female ghost with a sword. Only then was the female ghost driven away and Feng promised to be saved. "

"Guard?" The emperor's tone was cold and majestic, making Wei Yanwan unsure whether she should say Ling Yunche's name.

If he tells it out, will the emperor reward him or punish him for leaving his post and breaking into the concubine's palace at night?

Ruyi saw Wei Yanwan's dilemma and knew that this guard was probably Ling Yunche.

So he said, "Your Majesty, since this female ghost could be injured by the guards, someone must be playing tricks.

The guard was able to hear the noise and act in time to save Feng Da Ying, which shows his bravery, justice, and ability to distinguish priorities.

I think this person deserves a reward for his meritorious service. Your Majesty should commend the guard who fought off the female ghost on behalf of Feng Ying and Jiapin."

The emperor thought for a moment and asked Li Yu to bring the person over.

"Your humble servant, Ling Yunche, the cold palace guard, greets His Majesty, the Empress, and Concubine Xian." Ling Yunche knelt down and saluted without being humble or arrogant.

But from his tense expression, it is not difficult to see his inner anxiety.

Before Ling Yunche could finish explaining the specific circumstances of what happened, Fu Cha Langya interrupted him with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

"Guard Ling, since you said you were a guard in the cold palace, why did you leave your post today and come to the vicinity of Qixiang Palace?"

Sure enough, a hint of doubt crept into the emperor's originally slightly relaxed expression.

Ling Yunche was frank, "Although I am a guard in the cold palace, I am not on duty today. I came to Qixiang Palace to look for a palace maid."

"Yes, Guard Ling is here to look for me."

In this palace, palace maids and guards are forbidden to have private dealings with each other.

Wei Yanwan saw that Ling Yunche spoke so frankly, and fearing that the emperor would misunderstand her, she hurriedly said, "My family is burdened with heavy expenses, and I once borrowed some money from Guard Ling.

Today, I asked Guard Ling to come and return the silver."

The emperor didn't care about these little things, but Fu Cha Langya seized the loophole.

She said, "Guard Ling did not leave his post without permission, but he should not have wandered around in a place that does not belong to the cold palace late at night. I think he should be punished for his mistake."

"Your Majesty is wise. If you have committed a crime, you should be punished, but if you have done a good deed, you should also be rewarded."

There was a smile on Ruyi's lips, and her words were soft but thorny, like a beautiful but dangerous rose.

"Your Majesty, Guard Ling and the little palace maid both provided clues that someone was playing tricks, and they deserve to be rewarded.

I think the most urgent thing to do is to immediately arrest all the injured palace maids and interrogate them.

Only if we catch this female ghost as soon as possible can Jiapin and Yushi rest in peace."

Fucha Langya wanted to stop it, but Ruyi's proposal made sense. If she still disagreed, wouldn't it seem like she had something to hide?

The emperor accepted Ruyi's suggestion, and Jinbao soon took people to search the palaces for injured palace maids according to the list given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The outline of the flying eaves and corners of Qixiang Palace gradually deepens under the light of the lanterns.

The moonlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and dispelling the noise, and the entire Qixiang Palace was immersed in tranquility.

The emperor was getting a little sleepy from waiting and yawned several times.

Ruyi took the opportunity to pour a cup of strong tea for the emperor, and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, I think the name of this little palace maid is quite interesting.

My maiden name is Qingying, and hers is Hongying. It seems that Feng promised to give names. This little palace maid and I really get along well. "
