Chapter 173 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 25
The Queen Mother had not appeared yet, so Concubine Xian arrived late.

However, when she appeared in the palace, everyone who knew her was shocked, especially Concubine Chun, Concubine Wan and Concubine Mei.

After all, they have known Ruyi for the longest time and know her very well. They are really not used to her current appearance.

Even Ling Xi was shocked when he saw Ruyi.

In the past, Ruyi wore simple clothes and light makeup, and with her noble temperament, she could be said to be very unique.

But at this moment, the makeup on her face was exceptionally bright and vivid, and she was completely different from before.

Originally it was as cold and aloof as the snow plums on the branches, but now it has become much more vulgar and no longer as unique as before.

"Empress Xian, you."

Concubine Chun looked at Ruyi in surprise, her eyes full of unconcealable suspicion and inquiry.

Is Empress Xian stupid? Why is she like this? She really feels uncomfortable with her.

Ruyi seemed not to notice the surprise in Concubine Chun's eyes. The strangeness on her face flashed away, and she smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Chun, what's wrong?"

Concubine Chun was stunned and shook her head, "It's okay."

After a while, the queen came out.

Ling Xi discovered that Fu Cha Langya's complexion had improved a lot. There was some color on her face, and she was no longer as pale and weak as before.

It seems that he listened to her words and knew he should take good care of himself.

Ling Xi knew that the emperor had talked to Fucha Langya before, and everything that Su Lian had done without telling Fucha Langya was revealed by the emperor in person, including those things she had done under the orders of Madam Fucha. Fucha Langya was greatly shocked when the truth was revealed.

Afterwards, Su Lian was sent back to the Fucha family and was secretly killed. Madam Fucha also claimed to be ill and recuperated, and never appeared in public again.

This was what Fucha explained to the emperor.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." All the concubines paid their respects to the Queen together.

"Get up." Fu Cha Langya was dignified and generous, smiling calmly.

Fu Cha Langya looked at Yingpin and Ke Guiren and said, "Because of my health, I cancelled the visit before, so I haven't met the new sisters yet. Yingpin, Ke Guiren, are you living well these days? Are you adapting to life in the palace?"

Yingpin was as petite as her title suggested, and looked smart. The happy smile on her face made it clear that she was brought up in pampering at home.

She bowed and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the palace is well decorated and everything is fine with me. Thank you for your concern."

Fu Cha Langya smiled calmly: "I asked Concubine Ling to decorate the palaces for you and Concubine Ke. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can come to me or Concubine Ling. You must treat the palace as your home."

Yingpin: "Yes, thank you, Queen."

Yingpin sat back. Fucha Langya looked away and saw Ruyi with heavy makeup. She was shocked. What was wrong with Ruyi? Was she hysterical? Why was she dressed like this?

Is this still the same Ruyi? Maybe she is possessed by some demon or ghost.

Forced to look away, Fucha Langya was horrified by Ruyi's appearance.

"Today, I have one more thing to say. I am not feeling well and I am not able to manage the harem, so I want to find someone to help me share the burden."

Everyone was a little shocked. Is the Queen going to divide the palace power?
Concubine Chun's eyes flashed, and she had some ideas in her mind.

Ruyi had a strange look on her face, with hatred and resentment in her eyes.

Ling Xi didn't care whether she had palace power or not, but given her status, she couldn't escape it.

Fu Cha Langya saw everyone's reaction and said with a smile: "For the time being, let Concubine Chun and Concubine Ling assist me. My two sisters, please don't refuse." Ling Xi: "Yes."

Concubine Chun: "Yes."

After paying respects, Ling Xi stayed. She saw that Fu Cha Langya seemed to have something to say to her.

"I wonder what the Queen wants to say to me?" Ling Xi asked.

Fu Cha Langya sighed softly, "I am currently recuperating from my illness. Please help me with the affairs of the palace. Concubine Chun is not capable enough, and I am worried about her managing the harem. Therefore, please take care of more of the responsibilities when the time comes."

Ling Xi had no objection to this request, so she agreed: "Okay."

Fu Cha Langya showed gratitude: "Thank you very much."

When Ling Xi returned to Yongshou Palace, he saw the emperor teasing two children, making them laugh out loud.

She raised her eyebrows. Why did the emperor have the time to come to her today? You know, ever since Concubine Xian used a novel method to keep the emperor, he stayed in the Yanxi Palace for many days in a row. He could be said to be the only one favoring Concubine Xian, and he didn't give it to anyone else.

Ling Xi knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Why is your Majesty here?"

The emperor smiled heartily and said, "I haven't seen the two children for some time, so I came to take a look."

Ling Xi was very happy: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has not come for many days. I thought you had forgotten me."

Seeing her being jealous, the emperor felt much better.

So he took the opportunity to ask about today's greetings: "Did my beloved concubine meet Empress Xian today?"

Ling Xi thought about what the emperor meant, but replied: "I have seen Empress Xian change a lot."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said in a sad voice: "Ruyi has changed."

After saying this, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time were released.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "I never thought that one day, Ruyi would bow down and beg for favor. She no longer believes that I can protect her."

Sadness appeared in his eyes. He didn't know who to talk to. He used to think that Ruyi understood him, but the moment she asked for his favor, his good impression of Ruyi collapsed.

Now he always unconsciously treats Ruyi with a bit of disrespect.

There was a hint of surprise in Ling Xi's eyes, and she sat quietly beside him.

It’s not easy for the dog emperor to reflect on himself.

It seems that his feelings for the heroine are not so indestructible.

The cinnabar mole of the past will become mosquito blood of today.

The emperor's face changed, his eyes were obscure and difficult to understand, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Even before, she was unwilling to say a soft word even if she was going to be sent to the cold palace. Now she is learning to please me like those little concubines. I am very disappointed."

To him, Ruyi was the most precious person in his youth. She was noble and self-respecting, and possessed the elegance and pride of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.

Qingying and Hongli in the past were the most precious memories in his heart, but now it is obvious that Ruyi has completely shattered his beautiful memories.

What he feared most was that things and people had changed. He didn't even understand why Ruyi had changed so quickly.

Ling Xi raised his eyes to look at the emperor, but did not answer his question.

Anyway, all the emperor needs is a listener.
