Chapter 144: Attack Concubine Ling. Are you willing?
"I didn't pursue the matter of Yonghuang back then. Your Majesty, can't you let me go?"
"A phoenix wearing a peony, what will happen if I wear such an overstepping thing?"
Concubine Chun was really anxious, and even brought up the incident when Hailan and Ruyi forced her to forgive them for harming Yonghuang.
Ruyi sat at the top in a daze.
She thought her plan was very safe, so how come Concubine Chun discovered it?
Feeling guilty, Ruyi could only look around.
"Noble Concubine Chun, you think too much. That's not what I meant. I wanted to join hands with you to let the emperor see that Noble Concubine Jia was overstepping her bounds. How could I think of harming you?"
Hailan promptly defended Ruyi.
"But since you are so frightened, I don't need to give you this gold necklace. I will think of other ways to deal with Concubine Jia's matter tomorrow.
You just pretend nothing happened.”
Hailan's excuse was very reasonable. She also comforted Su Lujun in time. Su Lujun naturally understood that it was not appropriate for her to interfere with the relationship between Ruyi and Jin Yuyan.
He agreed with what Hailan said.
"Then I would like to thank the Queen and my sister for their congratulations. The Emperor will have to go over for dinner, so I will return to the palace first."
Ruyi and Hailan didn't say a word of sincere congratulations to her, but Concubine Chun still pretended that they had congratulated her.
"Lujun, when you have time, bring the emperor's grandson into the palace so that I can take a closer look at him."
While Hai Lan was sorting out everything, Ruyi chatted with Su Lujun as if nothing had happened.
Su Lujun couldn't even force a smile on her face. She just made a few random remarks and left.
As soon as Su Lujun left, Ruyi said to Hailan:
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. It will only hurt others and not benefit yourself."
"If things go wrong, it might even ruin the sisterhood between us and Lujun."
When Ruyi said these words, she seemed to have forgotten that it was she who wanted to use Su Lujun just now.
"Don't worry, sister. It was my fault that I didn't stop you in time this time.
Concubine Chun is not someone who holds grudges, and she will definitely treat my sister the same as before."
Hai Lan willingly took the blame on herself and tried her best to comfort Ruyi.
Seeing Ruyi was about to get up, she hurriedly helped her up and gave instructions to Hongmei who was waiting outside.
"Hongmei, put this collar away."
Hailan and Ruyi continued to love each other.
Hongmei, who was silently picking up the collar, felt that both of them were sick.
"That's how it is. What can I do? I cannot disobey the Queen. I also dare not offend Yongqi and Concubine Yu, who are now favored by the Emperor."
Concubine Chun once again cowardly forgave Ruyi and Hailan.
Yan Wan, who heard Concubine Chun's complaints, was not surprised by this matter.
Concubine Chun's cowardice was inherited, and her sons were just as cowardly.
"Your Majesty's behavior today is normal. If it were me who was facing the questioning of the Queen and Concubine Yu, I don't know what I would do."
"Fortunately, the Emperor will be here soon, Your Majesty, please accompany him well.
I heard that several wild horses were presented as tribute to the imperial garden. The emperor asked us to go and see them tomorrow.
Don't think too much, madam."
Yan Wan and Concubine Chun said this, rarely without paying close attention, but she didn't know that what she and Concubine Chun said was heard by Ling Yunche.
"It was Concubine Ling who reminded Concubine Chun?"
When Ling Yunche told Ruyi this, Ruyi found it unbelievable.
Subconsciously, he said to Ling Yunche:
"I have long said that Concubine Ling is not a good person. Now that she has been favored by the emperor for a few days, her hidden fox tail has been exposed."
"How dare you secretly plot against me and Concubine Jia."
It was easy for Ruyi to figure out Yanwan's purpose in reminding Concubine Chun.
Only when the conflict between Ruyi and Jin Yuyan becomes more and more intense can the two of them consume each other better. Yanwan wants to reap the benefits.
Ruyi criticized Yanwan's faults, and Ling Yunche could only listen silently.
Ruyi glanced at Ling Yunche for a few times, and then said in a tone that was good for Ling Yunche:
"Forget it, you are too concerned about the friendship between you and Concubine Ling."
"I can only be thankful that I didn't match you and her up so quickly back then."
"She couldn't wait for you. Even as a concubine of the emperor, she was restless and calculated everything."
Ruyi had been holding back her dissatisfaction with Yanwan for many days and had long wanted to express it, and finally she had the chance.
Somehow as she spoke, Ruyi's eyes showed pride and excitement again.
Ruyi looked at Ling Yunche a few more times, and felt even happier.
She questioned Ling Yunche in the shy manner of a little girl.
"Didn't you defend Concubine Ling before? Why did you say this today?"
"I used to know Concubine Ling, but now Your Majesty is my master, and Your Majesty has saved me many times. It is natural for me to return the favor."
"It's wrong for Concubine Ling to plot against the Empress together with others."
Ling Yunche said what Ruyi liked to hear. Ruyi smiled.
Reach out and hold Ling Yunche's hand.
It was a normal action, but Ling Yunche's face turned red and his body felt hot.
"Your Majesty, I will go and arrange the affairs of the Imperial Garden tomorrow. Since someone wants to plot against you, you can also plot against others."
Ruyi now forgot what she had just said to Hailan, about not harming others at will.
He just looked at Ling Yunche in confusion.
"Are you willing to take action against Concubine Ling?"
Ruyi looked at Ling Yunche hopefully.
Ling Yunche nodded without thinking and left.
The next day.
The emperor and his concubines, who loved horses, watched with great interest the palace servants taming wild horses in the imperial garden.
Yongqi and Yongsheng are now the emperor's favorites, and the two princes are trying their best to show off their horse riding and horse training skills in front of the emperor.
Yanwan doesn't like horses and finds it boring sitting among the crowd.
Another person who doesn't like riding horses is Ruyi.
Ruyi pointed at the fruit in front of her and said to the emperor:
“Your Majesty, it’s so hot and it’s hard for all the sisters to come here.
Brothers, you have horses to play with, why not share these fruits with the sisters? "
As she spoke, Ruyi pointed at the grapes and lychees in front of her.
"Jinbao, take the grapes to Yingpin.
Jinzhong. Send the lychees to Concubine Ling. "
Jinzhong found Ruyi's behavior strange, but since Ruyi had spoken, he had to listen. So Jinzhong brought litchi to Yanwan.
"Master Ling, this is the fruit in front of the Emperor."
Before Yanwan knew what was going on, Jinzhong started peeling fruit for her.
Fortunately, Yan Wan was sitting on the outermost side, so Jin Zhong took advantage of the fact that no one was around to hear him and whispered:
"The fruit was sent by the Queen, and I feel like something is wrong."
When she saw the lychees Jinzhong was holding, Yanwan thought that Jinzhong had deliberately picked these hard-to-peel fruits to keep her company.
When Yan Wan heard that it was Ruyi who wanted to bestow the honor, she also felt something was wrong.
Jinzhong had just peeled a lychee and was about to hand it to Yanwan.
Unexpectedly, the horse that Yongcheng was leading went crazy for some reason, broke free from the reins, and seemed to be heading towards Yanwan.
"Empress Ling Fei, be careful."
The horse was running wildly, and Ling Yunche shouted at Yan Wan as if he was ready.
"Damn it, the wild horse is hot-tempered. If Ling Yunche shouts like that, he will surely harm the queen."
Yanwan and Jinzhong both heard Chunchan's unintentional words. They looked at each other.
"What a trick, you're harming me this way."
