Chapter 248 The defense has been broken
Yan Wan admired Ruyi's expression and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Xianpin, you are old now, and you finally got pregnant. You should be more careful."
She glanced at Rong Pei and said, "Hurry up and help your master sit down. You are shivering like this. You really don't take your stomach seriously!"
Rong Pei had a stern face and wanted to say something, but the pain in her mouth had not yet completely healed, so she trembled and closed her mouth again.
Ruyi clenched the hand that was supporting Rongpei with such force that Rongpei could not help but look at Ruyi's expression.
Seeing this, Rong Pei could no longer bear it: "Since the Imperial Concubine Ling felt sorry for our mistress's pregnancy, why didn't she punish those who talked nonsense?"
Yan Wan narrowed her eyes: "Are you blaming me?"
Rong Pei stiffened her neck and said, "I dare not, I am just asking."
Yan Wan raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled, and gently pointed her finger in the direction of Rong Pei: "Someone come and drag her out."
Rong Pei was stunned, eyes widened: "Why do you want to punish this slave?!"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to commit an offense against one's superiors?"
Rong Pei wanted to say that she didn't, but a sturdy maid rushed over and held her down.
Yan Wan thought of the punishment that Ruyi had given her, and a deep smile appeared in her dark eyes: "Just keep me in the punishment for one hour."
The two maids immediately dragged Rong Pei away.
Ruyi was angry and annoyed: "Rong Pei just wanted to protect me, but Concubine Ling was too aggressive..."
Yan Wan leaned back, and gently supported her temple with her slender white fingers: "You keep calling me mine. Don't you care about your dignity, which you used to care about the most? Aren't you afraid of losing face for the family that you are most proud of?"
Ruyi choked.
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Sit still and hold your belly tightly, Concubine Xian. I am now assisting the six palaces. You have committed insubordination several times since you came in. According to the palace rules, I can punish you directly."
Ruyi sneered, "Then why didn't Concubine Ling punish me?"
She glanced at her belly meaningfully: "To borrow the words that Concubine Ling often said, don't you want to?"
Yan Wan chuckled: "You'd better not borrow my words. I think it's unlucky."
She sat up a little straighter. "Since Concubine Xian likes punishment so much, I will reluctantly agree to your request, Concubine Chun."
Concubine Chun stiffened up all of a sudden and straightened her back subconsciously: "Hey, sister Yanwan."
Yan Wan said softly, "The Emperor specifically asked Sister Noble Concubine Chun to visit Concubine Xian more often to ensure that she can give birth to a healthy princess. Now she insists that I punish her, so you should watch over her for me."
Concubine Chun: “…”
She accidentally took over the hot soft gold, she was really grateful!
She forced a smile and tried to decline politely: "Noble Concubine Ling, you see, the imperial physician has said that Concubine Xian's pregnancy is not good. She is not smart enough to ask for punishment on purpose. I am not afraid of trouble, but I am mainly afraid that some people will take this opportunity to murder you and throw dirty water on you."
Yan Wan showed a look of serious thinking, looked at Ruyi hesitantly, and then her face turned cold: "So this is what you are planning!"
She sneered, "Come here, send Concubine Xian back, and ask the imperial physician to check her on the spot, don't really blame me!"
She glanced at everyone present and said, "You'd better be careful to avoid suspicion. I'm afraid that you sisters will suffer an unexpected disaster. Alas, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."
She asked everyone with some weariness to speak up if they had anything to say, and after making sure that there was nothing to say, she let everyone go.
Ruyi was sent out of Changchun Palace with a confused look on her face. When she came out, she even saw Rong Pei being pushed and tortured by two vicious maids.
Rong Pei's legs were broken, and it was pitifully difficult for her to endure this punishment. However, she still saw Ruyi being forcibly sent out at first sight. She called out "Master" twice, and was slapped twice. She could only stand up while shouting:
"Master! Please wait for me! I will come to you soon!"
Ruyi didn't answer. She walked back angrily with a stern face.
Ever since Wei Yanwan became the emperor's concubine, she seemed to have never been content.
After a long struggle, the two maids left with the imperial physician, and only then did Ruyi sit in the main hall and cry.
Ling Yunche felt very uncomfortable: "What happened to Master Xian? Weren't you very happy when you went out today?"
Ruyi forced a smile and turned her face away: "Ling Yunche, now you are the only one who cares about me."
Ling Yunche couldn't bear to see her so sad, so he leaned forward and asked gently, "Although I can't share Master Xian's worries, listening to Master Xian's troubles is the only thing I can do."
Ruyi was touched by his gentleness and tears fell again: "Ling Yunche, I am just too sad. The harem is different now than before.
I don't know what I did wrong. It seems that no one likes me. It seems that everyone has been bewitched by Wei Yanwan. Even my former good sister would betray me for a little bit of profit."
She seemed lost, her face full of the innocence and confusion that only a young girl could have.
Ling Yunche felt even more distressed, and after thinking for a while, he comforted her, "Everyone in this palace is so eager to do anything for power and status. Master Xian, you are as calm as a chrysanthemum and don't like disputes, so you don't fit in with them."
After a pause, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "After all, the emperor still loves you as much as before."
Ruyi burst into laughter and said, "Ling Yunche - you are really good at talking. I feel much better now!"
Her voice was soft, as if she was acting coquettishly, and Ling Yunche's heart warmed up when he heard it, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
He looked at Ruyi gently and said, "This is the only use I have. My Lady Xian, nothing is more important than the baby in your belly. No matter how others treat you, you must remain calm. This is for both yourself and the baby."
Ruyi felt a layer of strength in her body and looked at him deeply: "Okay, Ling Yunche, I still remember the promise I made to you! I will definitely take good care of myself for you and the child!"
Ling Yunche's eyes were full of gratitude.
Outside the gate, Hongli stood at the door with a sullen face and glared.
A hint of smile flashed across Jinzhong's dark fox eyes. He knelt down, not daring to say a word, as if he was frightened.
After a long time, Hongli sneered, flicked his sleeves and left.
Jinzhong immediately got up and hurried to follow.
It has to be the master.
It’s really accurate!
This provoked Concubine Xian to the point of breaking down her defenses, and since Rong Pei was left in Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian really started to get close to Ling Yunche!
This sentence "for you and the child" is really...even his master doesn't dare to say such words!
