Chapter 160: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Call me Empress Dowager! (10)
"Your Highness the Imperial Concubine is really well-informed. If your house arrest has been lifted, come and hang out in my palace." Lin Qinghe raised her eyebrows.
Are you here to cause trouble?
But even if Ruyi knew that she had given the emperor deer blood wine, what would happen? Would she be beaten to death?
"However, I offered the deer blood wine to the emperor because I saw that he has not been in good health recently. I hope that he can recover his health. Why did it seem like I had bad intentions when it came to the imperial concubine?" It's because your imperial physician Jiang Yubin is too useless. He can't even cure the emperor's kidney deficiency.
"You indulged the emperor's temper and concealed the truth. You have ill intentions." Ruyi immediately put a hat on Lin Qinghe, "惢心, take Concubine Ling to the Yangxin Palace to confess her guilt!"
Do you want to arrest her directly?
"Empress Xian, if I remember correctly, your right to assist the Queen in managing the harem was long ago taken back by the Emperor. It is not right and impolite for you to detain me without permission." Lin Qinghe's eyes showed a hint of amusement.
"You have bad intentions and used despicable means to make the emperor drink deer blood wine. What's wrong with me arresting you and making you confess your crime?" Ruyi said this with such confidence that she didn't know where she got it from.
"Look at what the Imperial Concubine said. Whether the Emperor drinks or not is not something I can decide. You really have eaten too much salt and have too much time to spare. You have misinterpreted something that was consensual between two people."
Lin Qinghe suddenly took a step closer to her, smiling, "Are you jealous of the emperor and this concubine being so close?"
Ruyi was wearing a dark purple double-breasted palace dress today. For some reason, this dress looked a little old-fashioned on her.
Hearing Lin Qinghe say this to her, Ruyi took a step back. She said disdainfully, "You're willing to do anything to get ahead. Even if you tell me about your schemes, I won't do them."
"Oh, really?" Lin Qinghe chuckled.
Ruyi was startled by the indifference in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Qinghe looked at her calmly, as if she was looking at a piece of trash. "What the Empress Xian just said, I will return to you intact."
"I heard that you secretly met the emperor during your mourning period. You are really a seducer and have low moral character!
Why were you confined before? You didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a concubine, and you didn't report it, causing the Seventh Prince to get smallpox.
According to the logic you used to convict me, you are truly a hypocritical person."
After confronting Ruyi like this, Lin Qinghe felt very happy. Ruyi in front of her turned pale and clear like a color palette.
"How can a person with a dirty mind like you understand my painstaking efforts?" Ruyi's lips trembled and she finally uttered these words.
She couldn't argue with Lin Qinghe, so she simply called Suo Xin to start fighting, "Concubine Ling, what crime should you be punished for speaking against the Imperial Concubine?"
"惢心, slap her face! Teach Concubine Ling some proper manners!" Perhaps remembering that her position was higher than Lin Qinghe's, Ruyi wanted to discipline Lin Qinghe right on the spot.
This means you are ready to take action?
Lin Qinghe grabbed the hand that was about to hit her face with one hand, and her eyes were cold, "Isn't it urgent for Concubine Xian to go to the emperor first?"
"It's getting late. If you keep dawdling, the Emperor will not be in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity." Lin Qinghe softened his tone.
Seeing that Lin Qinghe's attitude softened, Ruyi thought that her verbal attacks had worked and scared Lin Qinghe.
It is indeed time for the emperor to wake up now, she thought to herself, it would be better to see the emperor first.
When they arrived in front of the Yangxin Palace, Lin Qinghe, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please consider the Emperor's face. If you go in now, I'm afraid..."
"The Emperor is drunk and injures his health, and he is tired of state affairs, but you still try to please him and seduce his master. Concubine Ling, are you able to bear this crime?" Ruyi suddenly started to speak in a huff as if she had taken up arms.
"I didn't stay in the Yangxin Palace to seduce the emperor. It's really disheartening that Concubine Xian slandered me without even knowing the truth." Lin Qinghe said as she wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Ruyi, why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, I respectfully greet you." Ruyi bowed to Hongli with a cold face.
"I just drank a little wine, it's nothing serious, don't worry, Your Majesty."
"I have served the emperor for many years and have never seen him drinking." Ruyi looked at Hongli, whose steps seemed a little unsteady, and said sternly and aggressively.
It was like the expression of an old lady catching her just turned 18 smoking and drinking.
"..." Hongli was silent for a moment. Wasn't his excuse obvious enough? Ruyi didn't even accept it?
He endured it and continued to offer a way out.
"Maybe. I've been feeling tired these days, and I feel a little slack occasionally... cough cough." He coughed twice awkwardly while speaking.
After all, I am weak, so what's wrong with wanting to drink deer blood wine to replenish myself? Why should I be woken up early in the morning and asked why I am drinking?
He originally thought that he was so embarrassed that he coughed weakly twice, and Ruyi would just say a few words of concern. What made Hongli even more annoyed was that she actually caught him and scolded him like an old woman.
"Your Majesty is drinking to relax, I dare not say anything more."
Hearing this, Hongli breathed a sigh of relief, but it was obviously too early.
Lin Qinghe, who was kneeling beside and pretending to be serious, lowered her eyelids and watched the show silently. Ruyi was really so majestic!
Don't be afraid of breaking your back!
"It's just that Concubine Ling wanted a temporary effect, so she gave you some deer blood wine.
Deer blood wine is too hot in nature and the emperor is in a weak condition.
I am really worried that the emperor is too weak to be healed and has hurt his body." Imperial Concubine Xian immediately pointed out that the emperor was weak.
Lin Qinghe wanted to laugh secretly, but she held it back. What kind of brain is Ruyi in? Is she yelling so loudly that she must let everyone in the harem know that the emperor has kidney deficiency?
Hongli is so lucky to have such a considerate childhood sweetheart like Ruyi. This is true love.
Since she didn't care about the emperor's face, it's no wonder that she was sent to the cold palace later.
Just as Lin Qinghe was complaining, Hongli's third step came down.
"Ruyi, I understand your wish.
But I just said that this matter should be over. It's broad daylight, so everyone should go back to the palace. "When saying this, Hongli glanced at Lin Qinghe who was still standing, and he felt a little guilty, but not much.
Concubine Ling was indeed harmed today, and he will compensate her more in the future.
Of course Lin Qinghe noticed Hongli's gaze, but he soon realized that even though he had told her to leave, Lin Qinghe still did not leave. She was still standing with Ruyi and the others.
Ruyi is now a noble concubine and is not qualified to make Lin Qinghe kneel down, so Lin Qinghe is standing at this time instead of kneeling on the ground as in the original plot.
Hongli turned around in confusion and agitation, "Why, didn't you hear me?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling came here to confess her guilt because she knew she was wrong. Do you want to let her off easily?" Ruyi retorted angrily. At this moment, she seemed to regard herself as the master of the six palaces.
Lin Qinghe rolled her eyes secretly when she heard her say that, then changed her expression and raised her head aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I dare not... Concubine Xian is very good, but I dare not..."
0038 who has been observing silently: Damn, host, where did you learn this tea art?
When Hongli heard Lin Qinghe say this, he felt very agitated. How come Ruyi...is not as considerate as Yanwan?
How dare you question me in my Yangxin Palace?
"Ruyi, why are you so persistent? You seem a little hateful to me now." Hongli looked displeased.
These words actually irritated Ruyi and made her angry. Her breathing became heavier. "Your Majesty, you said that I look hateful?!"
惢心 brought the hangover soup to Ruyi, "My queen, Sanbao brought the hangover drink over here."
Hongli frowned, and before Ruyi could speak, he said, "No need, I just vomited and felt uncomfortable, I don't want to drink it."
Ruyi became even more furious when she heard this. She brought over the sobering soup without any manners, the bottom of the flowerpot making a clattering sound, and she walked up the stairs in a few steps to Hongli, looking at him coldly.
It was as if Emperor Hongli owed her thirty thousand taels of silver.
"Didn't I say I wouldn't drink anymore?" Hongli's patience had reached its limit and he felt extremely annoyed.
The war between the two is about to break out.
