Chapter 177 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 29
"Jinzhong, are you sure that Concubine Li kicked you out just because she didn't like you?"

Ling Xi looked at Jinzhong and asked.

Why did she feel that this matter was not simple? Although Concubine Li offended people everywhere, according to her intuition, she was not as simple as she seemed on the surface. She always felt that there was a problem somewhere.

Jinzhong's mind worked quickly: "Does your master think there is something wrong?"

Ling Xi thought carefully and said, "If she doesn't like you, she could have sent you to the Ministry of Punishment, or somewhere else, but she would never just kick you out."

Jinzhong thought for a while and guessed, "So what you mean is that Concubine Li thinks I am an eyesore and wants to drive me out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

Ling Xi couldn't guess what a person who did something so crazy would do, so she could only helplessly say: "What she wants to do must be related to the emperor, but we don't know what it is specifically."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Qianqing Palace in the coming days to see if there is any movement." Ling Xi ordered.

Chunchan/Lancui: "Yes."

As for the Dog Emperor, sorry, she never thought of saving him.

However, Ling Xi did not expect that Concubine Li would either keep silent or make a big splash, and her every move would be another bombshell.

A few days later, at night, Ling Xi was in Fu Cha Langya's Changchun Palace. The two of them were bored, so they played mahjong with Jing Xi.

Then, Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya saw Chun Chan running in hurriedly.

"Empress, Concubine, something bad has happened."

Ling Xi put down the cards in his hand and asked, "What's wrong? Chunchan, why are you so anxious?"

When Chunchan saw Jingxi here, she hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Ling Xi looked at her daughter and said without hesitation: "Jing Xi, go back."

Jing Xi curled his lips, but he also knew that the matter was of great importance and he did not dare to go against his mother's wishes. After all, his mother was not as good-tempered as the Empress Dowager, and she could be very scary when she was angry.

After Jingxi left, Lingxi looked at Chunchan and motioned for her to continue.

Unexpectedly, Chunchan immediately dropped a bombshell: "Replying to the Queen, my Lord, Concubine Xian and the guard had an affair and were caught by the Emperor on the spot."

With a "puff" sound, Ling Xi spat out a mouthful of tea, choking her so hard that it shook the earth.

She asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

Fu Cha Langya was also incredulous: "Could this be a mistake?"

Although she didn't like Concubine Xian, she would never do such a thing.

Ling Xi immediately realized that something was wrong and asked Chunchan, "How did you know about this?"

Chunchan said anxiously, "My dear, not only do we know about this, I'm afraid the entire harem knows about it. A thief suddenly appeared in the palace today and disturbed the Qianqing Palace. The emperor sent guards to catch the thief, but the thief ran away with the guards across half of the harem and finally to the Yanxi Palace."

"The guards did not dare to search the Yanxi Palace, so they reported it to the emperor. When the emperor and Concubine Li led a group of guards to the Yanxi Palace, many of the concubines in the harem who were disturbed went to the Yanxi Palace. As a result, they found Concubine Xian lying naked with a guard in front of so many people. It was a really big bed."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Langya’s eyes went dark.

Oh my God, what is going on?

She did something wrong, why did God punish her like this?

She could imagine what the emperor's expression was now.

Ling Xi's expression was a little subtle, so the dog emperor was cuckolded by his childhood sweetheart.

"How are the people who saw this now?" Ling Xi asked. Chun Chan: "Several ladies returned to their palaces as soon as the incident happened, locked the palace gates, and no one heard any noise."

Ling Xi suddenly asked nervously: "The gate of our Changchun Palace has always been closed, right?"

Fu Cha Langya replied: "I will close the palace gates immediately when the time comes. The emperor will not come to Changchun Palace anyway, so the palace gates are closed very early. This is something everyone in the palace knows."

Ling Xi exhaled slowly, "That's good."

Fu Cha Langya understood in an instant. The emperor was very concerned about his reputation. How could he not be angry when Concubine Xian's affair was revealed in front of so many people in the harem?

If it weren't for the special status of the concubines in the harem, I'm afraid the emperor would have to find a way to deal with all the people who knew about this matter.

Ling Xi stroked her sleeves gently and said to Fu Cha Langya soothingly: "Sister, we don't know what happened tonight, we went to bed early."

Fu Cha Langya's eyes sparkled: "Yes, we know nothing."

There was peace in Changchun Palace, but some other palaces were not so peaceful.

At this moment, the entire Yanxi Palace was plunged into an extreme silence, as cold as the coldest days of winter.

The emperor sat at the top, his eyes were dark and cloudy, his face was ashen, and veins were bulging on his clenched hands, as if he was filled with uncontrollable anger.

He stared at a man and a woman kneeling on the ground. They were both wearing clothes haphazardly, with messy collars and some traces of lovemaking on their bodies.

The servants around all lowered their heads, trembled, and wished they were blind and deaf.

Ruyi's face was pale without a trace of blood, and her frail body could not stop shaking. She raised her head and looked at the emperor, shaking her head in panic, and weakly defended herself: "Your Majesty, I didn't do it. I really have never done anything to let your Majesty down."

After hearing her words, the emperor stood up suddenly and slapped Ruyi hard on the face with a "slap". Ruyi's head was tilted. The slap was so strong that blood flowed from the corner of Ruyi's mouth and her cheek immediately swelled up like a bun.

The emperor's eyes were cold as ice, and his voice was filled with anger and cruelty: "I have seen it with my own eyes, and you say you didn't do it? Ruyi, Ruyi, do you think I am a fool?"

These words seemed to turn into a sword and pierce into Ruyi's heart, making her heart bleed.

As he spoke, the emperor sneered again: "In the past, I have heard that you and Ling Yunche were too close, but I have always believed in you and believed that you are not that kind of person. You said that it was only because he had taken care of you in the cold palace that you treated him better. But now that I have seen how entangled you are, you are still quibbling. Do you really think I am a fool who can be fooled?"

As the emperor spoke, he became more and more angry, his vision went dark, and his limbs became stiff.

Ruyi wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know how to explain, so she could only keep saying, "It's not like that, Your Majesty, Ling Yunche and I have always been emotional and polite, and have never crossed the line. Today is..."

Today, what is it today? She said she had an impulse and couldn't help herself.

Over the years, she has been constantly vying for favor. She drugged the emperor, and she smiled as she gave other women to the emperor. Watching them make love, slowly, she felt that she had completely turned into another person. Such a terrible person made even herself feel unfamiliar.

The proud and noble self of the past has been shattered by my own hands and can never be put back together.

She felt like she was going crazy keeping these things in her heart.

Only when she talked to Ling Yunche did she seem to return to the past, which was the most relaxed and happiest time in her life.

In addition, Ling Yunche has been silently accompanying her for so many years. This friendship makes her feel that there is someone in this palace who is sincere to her.

Ruyi collapsed on the ground, falling into despair.

The emperor was filled with shame and anger at being betrayed. He looked at Ruyi and Ling Yunche and ordered, "Come here, take Ling Yunche away and chop him into pieces. Ruyi, banish her to the cold palace and never let her out again."

After he finished speaking, the emperor felt dizzy and his vision went dark. Finally, he fell into darkness and fainted on the ground.

"Your Majesty." The Yanx Palace fell into chaos.
