Chapter 183 It's all Hailan's fault
Longyue's words didn't mean to praise the two of them, and Ruyi's face was already upset.
The people of the Ulanara clan naturally knew how Chun Yuan came to power and how she wrested the position of Consort Yi Xiu from him with a single move in the palace.
Qing Yuan could also hear the unkindness in Long Yue's words, but she was different from Ruyi. She was the beneficiary in this matter, so she happily stepped forward to thank Long Yue.
"Thank you, Princess Longyue. I like this dress very much. I have always liked what my sister likes. Now I have received the same favor as my sister."
No one would have thought that such provocative words came from the mouth of Ruyi's own sister.
Compared to how Yixiu persecuted Chunyuan step by step back then, Qingyuan's intention to rise to the top was not concealed at all.
Ruyi heard Qingyuan's coercive words, but after all, she was her sister, so she had to endure it.
Seeing Li Yu handing the dress to Qingyuan, Ruyi no longer liked Li Yu.
"Li Yu, I haven't seen you for a while. You are now serving Princess Long Yue. Is everything going well?"
After Longyue came back, Li Yu was called to serve Longyue. Ruyi hadn't seen Li Yu for a long time.
She was testing Li Yu with words of anger to find out why he didn't help her.
Longyue blew on the tea in her hand.
Li Yu was silent.
"What the Empress said will make Longyue think that the Empress feels that Li Yu is better off being with the Empress than working for Longyue.
Li Yu was the one who provided the imperial sister-in-law with the task of delivering the abortion medicine. Wasn't the imperial sister-in-law unhappy? "
Longyue dug up all the details about how Ruyi had not treated Li Yu well.
The concubines whispered to each other and told how Li Yu had been dedicated to protecting Ruyi, for which he was demoted to Yikun Palace, and how Ruyi, in the end, suspected Li Yu and almost had him killed.
After hearing these words, Li Yu straightened his back a lot.
Ruyi was embarrassed and kept silent. She didn't treat Li Yu well.
Just when things were awkward, Sanbao came to report that Hailan wanted to see Ruyi.
"It was my intention that Concubine Yu go to the Ministry of Punishment. I will not see her. Once she has said everything she needs to say, she will come out naturally."
Ruyi was backstabbed by Qing Yuan and Li Yu all morning long, and she rejected Hai Lan's request in annoyance.
"I really don't know what my brother sees in the Queen.
She is selfish and stingy, and can't look down on others, and she doesn't even care about her former sisters."
On the way back to the Cining Palace, Longyue couldn't help talking about Ruyi.
After all, Li Yu had been with Ruyi. Even if he had done something wrong to Ruyi, it was only once. And everyone with a discerning eye knew the truth of the matter. Only Ruyi believed that it was Li Yu's fault.
As for Hai Lan, she is extremely loyal to Ruyi, but Ruyi said she would not save her.
"Oh, I remember that my mother and Hui Niang were true sisters."
The voice of Longyue gradually faded away.
Yan Wan, who was exempted from paying respects due to her pregnancy and went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, heard everything clearly.
After listening to Longyue's words, Yanwan had a plan in mind.
Yanwan came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and began to plead for Hailan.
“Your Majesty, even if Concubine Yu has her faults, she is still the Queen’s best sister.
The Queen is so selfless, even if Concubine Yu is wrong, please don't punish her too severely, so as not to hurt the Queen's feelings."
"Everything Concubine Yu did was just like what the Queen Mother did to the late Concubine Hui."
Yanwan was already pregnant and was crying pitifully, so the emperor hurriedly pulled her away.
"It's hard for you to have such thoughts. You didn't even go to pay your respects to the Queen early in the morning, and now I'm here to plead for others."
The emperor was very pleased with Yanwan's kindness and gentleness.
Yan Wan sat on the kang, next to the emperor, wiping her tears with a handkerchief and said:
"I envy the Empress for having a good sister like Concubine Yu by her side."
The emperor was silent for a moment.
Hai Lan envied Ruyi's goodness to the emperor, but Ruyi's attitude towards Hai Lan might not be as Yan Wan said, and the emperor didn't know.
"The relationship between the Empress and Concubine Yu is definitely not like that between Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui."
The emperor's denial was subconscious.
Yanwan just wiped her tears and didn't say anything else. She just wanted to act like she cared about Hailan just like Ruyi.
The news that Yanwan pleaded for Hailan soon reached Ruyi's ears.
"Your Highness, why don't you listen to what Concubine Yu said. Concubine Ling is crying and begging for mercy in front of the Emperor, and there are also old people like Concubine Wan in the palace."
Ruyi was busy worshipping Buddha and didn't want to hear this at all. She held a bunch of flowers and carefully placed them on the shrine.
"If they want to go, let them go. It's all Hailan's own fault."
After offering the flowers, Ruyi bowed to the Buddha statue, sighed, and frowned with dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has been with you for many years. Even though Concubine Yu has done something that goes against your Majesty's wishes, I think you should take Concubine Yu back first."
"If Concubine Yu really cares about it, wouldn't it be a pity if she follows someone else?"
"Um……"
Ruyi let out another long, helpless sigh.
"Go to the Yangxin Palace."
Rong Pei was still excited when Ruyi was about to leave, but she was startled when she heard that Ruyi was going to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty is the Queen, you can just take Concubine Yu out of the Ministry of Punishment, this will also quell the rumors in the palace.
Why do you still want to go to the Yangxin Palace?"
Ruyi's approach is taking the long way around.
Ruyi said indifferently:
"I don't want the emperor to think that I and Concubine Yu are planning something together."
Rong Pei thought about what Ruyi said and felt that it made sense.
But when Ruyi finally arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she heard that Hai Lan had been released.
The emperor was busy with state affairs, and only Jinzhong and Ruyi replied.
"It was Concubine Ling who pleaded for Concubine Yu. The Emperor cared about the friendship between the Empress and Concubine Yu."
"Also, Concubine Yuan came over and told the Emperor that she got up early to send Concubine Yu to the Ministry of Punishment because she saw Concubine Yu and the Empress quarreling.
I sent Concubine Yu there because I wanted the Empress to feel sorry for her, but I didn't expect the Empress to be so fair.
Concubine Yuan felt uneasy about taking Concubine Yu away and causing all these rumors about her, so she went to Anhua Palace to kneel and apologize.
Every word Jinzhong said made Ruyi embarrassed.
Hailan was imprisoned, her enemies pleaded for mercy, her sister admitted her fault, but she was a cruel person.
"Since Concubine Yu has been rescued, you don't have to tell the emperor that I was here."
When Ruyi said this, Jinzhong knew that Ruyi was still the same stubborn person.
She was blaming Yanwan and Qingyuan's excellence for highlighting her incompetence.
Hai Lan, who was rescued after being resentful by Ruyi, knew nothing and thought that Ruyi had forgiven her. She washed and dressed up in Yikun Palace and prepared to meet Ruyi cleanly.
She was tidying up Ye Xin when she heard that Concubine Ling wanted to see her.
Hailan glanced outside with disdain.
"No. I still have to go see my sister. Thank you, sister. I don't have time to see her."
Hailan was busy washing up when Ye Xin came out to pass on a message.
"Master Ling, please go back. Our queen doesn't want to see you."
Ye Xin and Hai Lan shared the same hatred for the enemy and both disliked Yan Wan. The words they passed on also carried a hint of hostility.
"You are such a daring servant, how dare you offend Empress Ling Fei? Drag him away and beat him to death."
Jinzhong saw Ye Xin's nose in the air from a distance, and he ordered his men to drag Ye Xin away and beat him to death.
