Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 217 The Emperor's Secret

Yan Wan could always feel that Hongli's attitude towards Ruyi was weird, with hatred mixed with love, which was even more complicated than the sadomasochistic love in the storybooks.

But just now, her vague guess suddenly had a concrete description.

At the moment when Ruyi asked the emperor whether he wanted to kill her, Yanwan had been staring at Hongli, so she clearly saw that the emperor really had the intention to kill her.

It turned out that he not only hated Ruyi, but also really wanted to kill Ruyi!

No wonder he asked her to keep it to herself, it turned out that he wanted to use the witchcraft incident to kill Ruyi!!!

It’s just a pity that this strange existence, Ruyi, is so terrifying!

Even the emperor, a supreme ruler, suffered backlash for thinking about killing her!

Fortunately, she was right next to the emperor.

Fortunately, her attention has always been focused on the emperor, so she was able to discover the emperor's secret!

She quickly hid the shock and surprise in her eyes - knowing the emperor's secret was an extremely dangerous thing! She didn't have the weird luck like Ruyi, who was God's daughter, able to turn danger into safety and be reborn again and again!

She just thought Hongli was angry: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry!"

She held Hongli firmly and frowned at Ruyi, saying, "You contradicted the emperor so much just for your old maid, and almost made him angry. Is this the love you always talk about for the emperor?!"

What Ruyi can't tolerate the most is others questioning her love for Hongli. Although she and Ling Yunche are close friends, and although she and her group treat others gently and kindly, only the emperor in this world can hurt her heart, because she loves him!

Ruyi raised her eyebrows: "Wei Yanwan, what do you know?!"

Yan Wan said coldly: "I don't know as much as you do, but I know that the emperor treats you best in the whole palace. If someone else disobeyed the emperor like this, they would have been demoted to a commoner long ago!"

The anger on Ruyi's face froze for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "You are finally a person with eyes!"

The disdain in Yan Wan's eyes flashed away, and she stroked Hong Li's chest repeatedly: "Your Majesty, drag this Rong Pei away and deal with her, but don't take her life. Otherwise, if Concubine Xian really kills herself, others will say that Your Majesty favors me and forces the old concubine who has been with you for many years to die just to protect me."

Hongli looked at her big belly and the way she was shaking as she tried to calm him down, so he sat down and said after a long pause, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven. Jinzhong, break her five fingers. If she dares to commit a crime again next time, cut off one of her arms."

Ruyi was dissatisfied: "Your Majesty..."

Perhaps it was because Wei Yanwan had just praised her relationship with the emperor, so her shout was surprisingly convoluted.

Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on her face, and she couldn't help but let go of Hongli's hand.

Hongli felt very embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will bury her and Ling Yunche together in your Yikun Palace!"

Ruyi: “…”

She pouted in dissatisfaction and looked at Rong Pei gently: "Don't worry, the emperor has already spoken, Jinzhong dare not kill you."

Jinzhong responded to her clumsy provocation with helplessness and respect, and then asked inquiringly, "Your Majesty?"

Hongli has always been satisfied with him. Today, he thought that he had been wronged. If he was ignored again, others would inevitably gossip about him and wonder if they really thought there was something going on between Yanwan and Jinzhong.

He said calmly, "Empress Xian has misunderstood you. I know you are loyal. Go ahead and come back when you are done. Since Empress Xian is worried about you, you can take her to dig a hole until she is satisfied."

Jinzhong was filled with gratitude: "Yes! Your servant, I will die for the emperor!"

His eyes were red, and his handsome and clean face was full of gratitude and respect.

Hongli rubbed his brows and said, "Go ahead."

The evil spirit he raised makes everyone around him restless. It's really unlucky.

Jinzhong went downstairs with Rongpei, who also had a grateful look on her face. After a while, Rongpei's screams were heard from the yard.

Ruyi shuddered and subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen.

Yanwan looked at Ruyi's hands, gently tugged at Hongli's sleeve, and motioned him to look at Ruyi.

When Hongli took a look, his eyebrows twitched.

He instinctively felt it was impossible.

He had people tamper with all the cushions, quilts, and stools in the Yikun Palace, and even deliberately rewarded Ruyi with a carved step-out bed that was filled with high-quality spices.

Therefore, she shouldn't have had children.

But Hongli's mind was buzzing and he thought of something else.

It is impossible for a normal person to have a child, but is Ruyi a normal person?

She is not a human being!

She is evil!

He was so uneasy that he could not sit still. At this moment, witchcraft or not was not important at all.

If Ruyi gave birth to a little evil spirit, and then murdered him and made the little evil spirit emperor... the Qing Dynasty would be doomed!

He took a deep breath and waited for Jinzhong to come in with the pale-faced Rong Pei. He ignored Rong Pei's stubbornness and said immediately, "Go, take Concubine Xian to dig a hole!"

Ruyi wanted to say that Jinzhong was not trustworthy, but she thought that if she went in person, there would be no way Jinzhong could do anything, so she went with a stern face.

Rong Pei supported Ruyi with her other intact hand, and did not say a word even though she was in so much pain that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

As soon as Ruyi left, Hongli's eyes were filled with anxiety: "Shupin, you followed Concubine Xian here, do you also want to harm Yanwan?"

Shupin, who had been acting as a shadow, stood up, walked in front of Hongli, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I and Concubine Ling are like sisters. I can guarantee with my life that Concubine Ling will never commit witchcraft!"

She kowtowed solemnly, prostrating herself on the ground: "I noticed that Concubine Xian was behaving strangely, so I followed Concubine Xian's instructions and approached her to see what she wanted to do. Unexpectedly, I discovered quite a few things!"

Hongli was stunned for a moment, then his expression eased slightly: "Stand up and talk."

Thinking that there were still many normal people in the palace and not everyone was going crazy like Ruyi, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Shupin refused to get up, Yanwan stood up and tried to help her up, but Hongli stopped her and helped Shupin up himself: "I am very happy that you are simple-minded and have not been deceived by Concubine Xian."

Shupin was stunned, feeling happy and ashamed: "I am not good at speaking, and I have never been able to say anything. If Sister Meifei was here, she would definitely be able to help Wanwan more."

Hongli was amused by her appearance: "I know that you and Yanwan are both good people. Don't worry, no matter what happens today, I know what's going on."

Shupin felt relieved: "Your Majesty, it seems that Concubine Xian knew that Madam Wei would report Yan Wan today. Before she came, she also told me to ask Your Majesty to severely punish those who violated the palace rules!"

After a pause, she looked at Madam Wei, whose expression had changed, and continued, "He also said that I should save the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice!"
