Chapter 130 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 30

Perhaps it was because she was hit by Lianxin's "tit for tat", or perhaps it was because the medicine secretly given by the emperor took effect. Since then, Langya has been ill. She is very ill and is drowsy all day long and is rarely awake.

Because of this, Xiyue's management of the six palaces became more and more legitimate, and soon the emperor ordered her to be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, with the title remaining unchanged, becoming Imperial Noble Consort Hui.

Ruyi was taken to an empty courtyard behind Cuiyun Pavilion. Concubines who had fallen out of favor and made mistakes in previous dynasties were sent here. From then on, Ruyi was imprisoned in this cold palace. Ruyi walked into the courtyard, and the cold palace was very cold. Eunuch Ma came to the cold palace to deliver food, and those crazy women rushed forward to grab it. The steamed buns that Ruyi received were already moldy, but Ruyi only took the things that she thought were important, and did not take any valuable items.

After eating rotten leftovers for several days in a row, Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore. She found Ling Yunche, the guard of the cold palace. Ling Yunche told Ruyi that the concubines could earn some money by doing embroidery in the cold palace. He could help, but he wanted half of the silver as a reward. Ruyi agreed.

Unfortunately, the emperor who secretly bought all of Ruyi's embroidery work is no longer in her life. Ruyi's embroidery skills are average, and the things she makes are not good. The money she earns can only allow Ruyi to survive with occasional meals, and she can no longer care about whether she is decent or not. In the end, in order to survive, Ruyi still sold her armor.

Ling Yunche actually admired Ruyi just like in the plot. He felt that Ruyi was framed. For a "noble lady" like Ruyi, if Ruyi had not fallen that day, Ling Yunche felt that he would never have the chance to get in touch with her.

In order to help Ruyi, Ling Yunche gradually began to treat his neighbor Wei Yanwan coldly. As a maid in the Four Treasurys, Wei Yanwan's monthly salary was supplemented by her mother and brother. Her mother disliked Ling Yunche for being useless and did not agree with them being together. Wei Yanwan thought of serving the favored concubines in the palace, so that she could have more money on hand and maybe find a good job for Ling Yunche. Wei Yanwan was ready to spend some money to arrange for Yu Guiren or Shen Chang to serve in the palace, but the money in her hand was not enough.

So she came to the cold palace to find Ling Yunche, wanting to borrow some money from him. Unexpectedly, she saw Ling Yunche talking to Ruyi, and the admiration and joy on his face were something she had never seen before. Wei Yanwan watched for a long time and cried for a long time, until another guard Zhao Jiuxiao came forward to ask, Wei Yanwan made up her mind, took off the ring Ling Yunche gave her and put it in Zhao Jiuxiao's hand, "Brother Zhao, please help me return this ring to Ling Yunche, and tell him that since he has changed his mind, Wei Yanwan is not the kind of person who will pester him, and tell him to take care of himself."

Zhao Jiuxiao also saw the scene of Ling Yunche and Ruyi getting along. He looked at Ling Yunche who was still smiling at Ruyi, then looked at Wei Yanwan who was walking away. He weighed the ring in his hand and shook his head, "He is really risking his life!"

Although Wei Yanwan had not yet collected enough money, Aunt Fang told her that for 40 taels of silver, she could go to Concubine Chun to help serve the eldest prince. Wei Yanwan was very happy. Although the eldest prince was a little mentally ill, he was not difficult to serve. Concubine Chun also had a good reputation and would not torture the palace maids.

The Emperor disliked the eldest prince for having mental problems and seldom visited him. The third prince, Yongzhang, was raised by Concubine Chun to be spoiled and timid, and was disliked by the Emperor. Therefore, the Emperor had never met Wei Yanwan. In addition, without Hai Lan's meddling, Wei Yanwan's days serving the eldest prince were very comfortable, and Concubine Chun was very satisfied with her. Although the eldest prince was not Concubine Chun's biological son, he was a prince after all, and Concubine Chun did not dare to neglect him. However, her focus was still on her son. Now with Wei Yanwan, Concubine Chun only needed to care about the eldest prince's life occasionally.

Wei Yanwan's life is back on track, but Ling Yunche in the cold palace was heartbroken when he received the ring he had given to her after meeting Zhao Jiuxiao. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but just thought that Wei Yanwan thought he was useless and abandoned him.

Ling Yunche drank all day to drown his sorrows. Ruyi gave the handkerchief she embroidered in the cold palace to Ling Yunche. Ling Yunche was drunk and spoke impatiently.

"I was born in a humble family, I have no future, and even the woman I love chooses to stay away from me."

Seeing Ling Yunche's deep love, Ruyi was deeply moved. Thinking of Ling Yunche's help in recent days, Ruyi couldn't help but step forward to comfort Ling Yunche, "If a woman abandons you for her future, then such a person is not worth your sadness at all."

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi and felt that her face overlapped with Wei Yanwan's. Ling Yunche could not forget Wei Yanwan. He thought Ruyi was Wei Yanwan and hugged her: "Yanwan, Yanwan, please don't leave me, okay? Brother Yunche will save money and let you live a good life. Yanwan!"

Ruyi was hugged by Ling Yunche, and she couldn't help blushing when she felt the man's warm embrace. When Ruyi realized that Ling Yunche mistook her for another woman, she became unhappy again, "Ling Yunche, wake up and see who I am!" Ruyi struggled to break free from Ling Yunche's arms, but she didn't notice that Ling Yunche's breathing became heavier as she struggled.

When Ruyi realized that the atmosphere was not right and could not help but look up to see Ling Yunche's expression clearly, a pair of lips with the smell of alcohol came straight to kiss her. Ruyi was intoxicated by the smell of alcohol, or perhaps there was some other desire in it, and she kissed Ling Yunche in a daze. Maybe it was the right atmosphere, or maybe it was because Ruyi and the emperor had never succeeded in consummating their marriage. In short, under Ling Yunche's entanglement, the two kissed inseparable and finally achieved happiness in the cold palace.

Since then, Ruyi and Ling Yunche were hypocritical for two days and slowly came together. At this time, Ruyi could no longer tell whether she loved the emperor or Ling Yunche. She only knew that the days with Ling Yunche were much happier.

Hailan gave birth to a prince. The emperor named him Yongqi and finally chose to give Yongqi to Xiyue to raise. At Xiyue's insistence, the emperor promoted Hailan to Concubine Yu and moved into the palace next to Xiyue.

Langya was seriously ill, and Xiyue brought people to visit her. After seeing Xiyue, Langya finally woke up.

"Empress Hui, what are you doing in Changchun Palace?" Langya didn't know that Xiyue was now the Imperial Concubine. She thought Xiyue was here to ridicule her, but she found that Xiyue only asked her one question, "You didn't put the drug that made the emperor infertile, did you?"

Langya smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that in the end you would believe me." Langya has always denied that she had drugged the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor didn't believe her. Now, when she heard Xiyue's words, which seemed to be doubtful but were actually certain, she realized that Xiyue believed that she did not drug him.

"I didn't give the emperor the infertility drug. I really didn't give the emperor any drugs!"

Xiyue didn't nod, but just said, "I'll find out!" and gave Langya a guarantee. Before leaving, Xiyue turned back and said to Langya, "It's better not to order spices when you are sick!"

After Xiyue left, Langya lay on the bed, thinking hard, looking at the incense burner beside her with a flickering expression. After Xiyue left, an inconspicuous palace servant in Changchun Palace went to the Yangxin Palace when no one noticed.
