Chapter 180 Yikun Palace is no longer attractive
Ruyi panicked when she heard that Hongli was coming.
Although she had a clear conscience and did it all for the emperor, the emperor still believed in Wei Yanwan, that treacherous villain. If she was seen...
She quickly chased after him: "Mrs. Wei..."
But Mrs. Wei ran very fast. She went out and asked where Ruyi went to the toilet, then ran away quickly.
The palace maid who answered the question didn't even react. She just saw that the old lady was a guest received by her master personally, and the other party directly asked where her master went to the toilet. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she subconsciously pointed.
Seeing Ruyi's livid face, the maid knelt down with a plop: "My dear! I didn't mean it! When she asked, I, I subconsciously..."
Ruyi gritted her teeth: "Call her quickly..."
As they were talking, they heard Hongli had arrived at the main hall.
"Ruyi, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty..." Ruyi glanced at the kneeling maid in a warning tone: "I spoke to her a little harshly, and she was frightened and knelt down."
She showed a gentle and warm smile: "Hurry up, it's just a small mistake, you will escort the old lady out yourself later."
The maid quickly responded: "Yes."
Ruyi walked quickly to Hongli's side and asked curiously, "How come Your Majesty has time to visit me today?"
Hongli walked beside her and looked at the maid curiously: "What were you talking about, old lady?"
Ruyi's face was full of warmth and kindness: "It's a maid who sweeps the streets at night. She has a stomachache and came to borrow the toilet."
When talking about the toilet, she even whispered in Hongli's ear, making it seem like she and Hongli were particularly close.
Hongli said with a smile: "You are kind-hearted."
Ruyi said gently, "I always want to help the emperor with his worries and difficulties, but there are not many times when I can help, so I can only do some small things to make you feel at ease."
Hongli said gently: "I am relieved if you think this way."
Ruyi didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. She just thought that he was as affectionate as she was. She grasped his arm shyly and said, "Your Majesty..."
“Puff, puff, puff—”
A strange voice interrupted Ruyi's coquettishness.
Hongli's ears moved, but he couldn't react to what happened at first.
Ruyi's eyes widened, afraid that Hongli would notice, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the garden for a walk. The moonlight is very beautiful today."
Hongli glanced at the dark night outside and then looked deeply at Ruyi.
Ruyi forced a smile: "Your Majesty..."
This coquettish moment suddenly collapsed in the middle of the moment, and was interrupted by a series of diarrhea sounds.
Ruyi could no longer bear it, and Hongli's face changed slightly. He felt that the entire Yikun Palace was beginning to stink. Obviously, the previous empress had lived in the Yikun Palace for many years, and the incense had permeated the palace.
He frowned slightly and walked straight outside, but suddenly heard a voice.
"Hey who? Bring me a handkerchief! Are you trying to scratch me to death with this thing?!"
Although the voice was not clear, Hongli recognized who it was at once. After all, he was the first person in the palace who could call him son-in-law.
His mind, which had been not very clear since Ruyi's sleep, suddenly became clear.
Seeing Ruyi's nervous face, he said calmly: "I suddenly remembered that there are still a few urgent memorials that I haven't reviewed yet. Ruyi, you should take a rest first. I will come to see you another day."
Ruyi was reluctant to leave: "Your Majesty..."
She showed a charming and worried expression: "It's all my fault for being so reckless that I let you..."
Hongli interrupted her interesting words: "It is indeed an important matter, Ruyi, you should take good care of yourself, I will leave first."
He was afraid that if he didn't leave, Mrs. Wei would come out, and it would be difficult to deal with the situation once they met.
Ruyi...
After all, she is his childhood sweetheart.
Ruyi could only respectfully see Hongli off.
Hongli had a faint smile on his face. He walked a little further away and called Jinzhong, "Go to the gate of Yikun Palace and wait to see who comes out and where they go."
Jinzhong knelt on one knee and kowtowed: "Yes!"
After Hongli's sedan chair had gone far away, Jinzhong stood up, walked in the dark shadow, clasped his hands, and waited quietly for Madam Wei to come out.
If he hadn't kept her to trick Ruyi, he wouldn't have let this woman stay with Lingzhuer and make a fuss. He would have let her die suddenly...
No, even if she was noisy, he didn't dare let her die in his hands.
He was afraid that his master would regret it one day, even a little bit, and thus become resentful of him, which could cost him his life.
He had already died once, and he would not be tough and overbearing and make decisions for her on the grounds that he was doing it for her good, as he did in his previous life.
Ling Zhu'er's intelligence, means and vision had long surpassed him. She was no longer the simple and timid girl who needed his advice in the beginning.
But fortunately, she still needs him.
After waiting for a while, his fox eyes narrowed slightly, he stepped back, leaned against the wall, and listened to the two people talking on the road.
Madam Wei said sarcastically, "Ling Yunche, although you have become a eunuch, you have been promoted step by step. I was wrong about you back then. Who would have thought that you could really soar to the sky?"
Ling Yunche's face turned pale: "Madam, you should take care of yourself! Empress Lingfei suffered a great crime in the past and her health is not good. Please don't cause her any more trouble."
Madam Wei sneered, "Oh, I never thought that you, who have fallen in love with the emperor's concubines, would love two of them at once? Pah! Do you really think you are a romantic? Only Wei Yanwan, that unfilial daughter, would really believe your lies!"
If you really loved her and wanted to marry her, you wouldn't have been stuck in a rut for so many years, and she would have to save up money for you as a betrothal gift! Bah! Otherwise, why would I say she is a money-loser? She should sell herself, or pay for herself to sell herself! "
Ling Yunche felt ashamed as if his fig leaf had been stripped off, and endured it and said, "If the old lady says these words again, you can go back by yourself."
Madam Wei choked: "I almost ran into the guards several times when I came here. If you don't send me off, aren't you afraid that your queen will punish you, a dead slave?!"
Ling Yunche turned around and was about to leave.
Madam Wei hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, we are all in the same boat, I won't say anything more about you."
Ling Yunche then led the way again, but perhaps because he had been bending over for too long, he could hardly walk with his back straight.
Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes fiercely, and after a while she urged him to hurry up, saying that her stomach was starting to hurt again!
Jinzhong watched Madam Wei enter Yongshou Palace safely. He also saw Ling Yunche looking up at the plaque of Yongshou Palace for a long time, squinting his fox eyes, stroking his slender fingers with a sneer, and his eyes were full of dark coldness.
Ling Yunche looks innocent, but sometimes, stupidity and innocence are original sins themselves.
He stared at Ling Yunche's neck sinisterly, and when Ling Yunche disappeared into the night, he made a detour and entered Yongshou Palace from the back door...
