Chapter 163 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 15
The lively atmosphere of the banquet came to an abrupt end when the young eunuch arrived.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, there's a fire in the cold palace, and it's on fire."

When the emperor heard the news, he stood up and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, he looked at everyone in the harem, carefully observing their expressions. Seeing that they had different expressions, he sneered and went to the cold palace.

Fu Cha Langya and Gao Xiyue looked at each other, both of them were confused and didn't know what was going on.

Ever since Hai Lan and Jin Yu Yan got into trouble, they restrained all their actions and never attacked anyone except Lingpin again.

Even though they were afraid of complications and wanted to get rid of the one in the cold palace as soon as possible, they stopped after they accidentally discovered that the emperor's people were protecting Ulanara.

But this made them even more angry towards Ulanara, especially Fucha Langya. She couldn't sleep whenever she thought about Ulanara still living in the cold palace. But no matter how much she hated her, she didn't dare to harm Ulanara under the emperor's nose.

So, who set the fire?

Fu Cha Langya and Gao Xiyue had flashes of doubt in their minds.

When the emperor rushed to the cold palace, he happened to see a guard carrying Ruyi out of the cold palace.

Looking at Ruyi snuggling tightly in the guard's arms, the emperor's eyes were dark and an obscure look flashed across his face.

Seeing Ruyi discover him and hurriedly get out of the guard's arms in panic, the emperor became even more suspicious.

The emperor came to his senses and temporarily concealed the discomfort and doubts in his heart. He took a few steps forward and handed his cloak to Ruyi.

Seeing Ruyi staring at him infatuatedly, the emperor felt satisfied but also dazed. He found that he still had great emotional fluctuations when facing Ruyi, but it seemed that he no longer had the throbbing feelings he had at the beginning.

The emperor was a little confused for a moment.

This was the first time that Ruyi had stepped out of the cold palace in more than two years, but since she had planned it, she made the choice.

She stared at the man in the bright yellow dragon robe who came hurriedly. He was still as young and handsome as before, and still the almighty emperor.

And she, embarrassed, destitute, and pitiful, seemed like she was from a completely different world from him.

At this moment, she suddenly felt infinitely humble in her heart.

It seemed that she was no longer worthy of the man in front of her.

After covering Ruyi with the cloak, the emperor was silent for a long time, then turned and left.

On the other side, Fucha Langya and Gao Xiyue looked viciously at Ulanara who was hiding in the corner, and hated her very much in their hearts.

However, seeing that the emperor had left, they did not want to stay for long, so they were supported by the palace maids and left one by one.

Ruyi stared at her young man's receding figure infatuatedly, and silently clutched her bright yellow cloak tightly around her body.

Yet, she couldn't help feeling ironic about her joy at seeing the Emperor rushing over.

At this moment, Suoxin beside her woke up slowly. Because she had inhaled a lot of smoke in the fire, Suoxin was choking and coughing.

惢心 choked and looked at Ruyi with sobs, and said in a tearful voice: "My Lord, Concubine Hai..."

惢心's tears wet her cheeks that were smoked by the smoke. Her pretty little face became gray and she felt guilty towards Hai Guiren.

When the fire started, she supported her master and ran out. She was too weak and could only take care of her master.

Concubine Hai's limbs were all broken and she had no mobility and could not move at all. She could not carry Concubine Hai on her back and was really powerless. But now that she was rescued, she felt extremely guilty.

It was her fault that she failed to rescue Hai Guiren in time.

Ruyi held the awakened惢心 in her arms, with her back facing her, so that惢心 would not see her relieved expression and her flustered and guilty eyes.

After taking care of Hailan for several months, she was really exhausted. Hailan needed her care all the time, and it seemed that a thin string was stretched tight in her head. Until tonight, the string suddenly broke, cutting off all her thoughts.

So, after the candle on the table accidentally fell to the ground and caused a small flame, the flame was too small and could have been extinguished with a light flick.

But when she saw the flame, the thoughts that she had been suppressing in her heart came to her mind.

At that time, she thought how nice it would be if Hailan was gone. Then she wouldn't have to take care of her so hard, nor would she have to share her things with her.

Moreover, by doing so, she could also awaken the emperor's memory of her, and perhaps, she could escape from this dark and cold palace.

This horrible thought kept popping up in her mind, making her think about it all the time while she was hesitating.

So, she lit a rag with a burning candle.

When the whole house was on fire and惢心 was awakened by the thick smoke, she pretended to be woken up by惢心, and pretended to be so scared that she couldn't walk, so that惢心 had to help her out.

Suoxin is a loyal girl. In Suoxin's heart, even Hailan is not as important as her, so between her and Hailan, Suoxin will only choose her.

Ruyi closed her eyes and her body trembled slightly.

She tried hard not to recall the eyes that Hailan looked at her with before she came out. They were calm, bright, and full of the understanding that seemed to know everything, and that slightly raised smile. There was no blame, no resentment, only bottomless despair.

It's like a nightmare.

But she had to get out of the cold palace, no matter what.

So, she could only feel sorry for Hailan.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The emperor held a memorial in his hand, but he had no intention of reviewing it. Instead, he was thinking about Yu Hu's investigation results.

"Neither the Empress nor the Imperial Concubine took action, and there was no sign of anyone taking action. As for the fire, it was probably because it was dry today and someone accidentally knocked over a candle."

He was not a fool. In order to prevent the Queen and others from harming Ruyi, he secretly sent people to protect Ruyi. However, even those people did not notice that someone had deliberately set fire to the cold palace, which meant that the fire was not set by outsiders.

Then it could only have been caused by someone in the cold palace.

It goes without saying who are the people most affected by this fire.

The emperor felt a little annoyed, and there was some boredom in his eyes.

Ruyi has changed after all. She is no longer the noble Qingying she used to be. Now she has learned to calculate.

Even disregarding the lives of others.

When did things become like this between them?

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little tired.

Changchun Palace.

Fu Cha Langya threw a set of tea sets fiercely, and was so angry that her heart ached: "Ulanara is so lucky that even a big fire couldn't burn her to death."

Su Lian comforted her from the side: "Your Majesty, please calm down. At least the Koriyete who killed the Second Prince is dead. No matter how lucky Ulanara is, she can't cause any trouble in the cold palace."

Fu Cha Langya said fiercely: "Look at the emperor's attitude towards her today. It's only a matter of time before she leaves the cold palace."

Su Lian said: "My queen, the Ulanara family has no one and is destined to be childless. No matter what, it will not surpass you. Your top priority now is to have another legitimate son. This is the most important thing. As long as you have a legitimate son, do you still need to be afraid of her?"

Fu Cha Langya touched her belly in grief: "Since Yonglian passed away, the emperor has not stayed in Changchun Palace for a long time. It will be very difficult to have another child."

Su Lian remained silent, but was thinking about what Madam Fucha had said to her.
