Chapter 102: Re-fulfillment
Jiang Yebin kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Ling."
Suo Xin also struggled to lie on the bed as much as possible, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Ling."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, you choose an auspicious day to get married. It's settled now."
The two of them took turns to kowtow and express their gratitude.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Yubin and惢心 and frowned slightly. Yan Wan saw that the emperor seemed to think that these two people were in the way, so she waved her hand and said, "Chunchan, Lancui, take Miss惢心 out for a walk and relax."
Chunchan and Lancui went to help惢心 up.
Jiang Yubi was also helping out, and several people quickly carried惢心 away.
As soon as they left, only the emperor, Concubine Xian, Li Yu and Yan Wan were left in the room.
Seeing that the emperor still had things to do, Yan Wan said, "Your Majesty, I will go and see Suo Xin's injury."
"Okay, go ahead." The emperor nodded and agreed. He didn't want to make this known to everyone, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
After Yan Wan left, Ruyi looked at the emperor with a sad face. She asked, "Why is the emperor so suspicious of Li Yu? Li Yu is loyal to the emperor."
"Recently, Imperial Concubine Xian has been in trouble and has been having a lot of bad luck. You often plead for her, and I have never blamed you for Imperial Concubine Xian's sake."
"But do you think I'm blind?" The emperor slammed the table. Ruyi immediately stood up and knelt down reluctantly. Li Yu kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The emperor sneered, "Forget it, I will not punish you because you are truly loyal to the Lord."
Li Yu's calves were trembling. He felt a little relieved when he heard this. As long as the emperor didn't kill him in anger, it would be fine.
"Li Yu, you are so loyal to Concubine Xian, I can't let your sincerity go to waste." The emperor looked at the two people on the ground with a smile, and just said, "You go."
"Your Majesty." Ruyi frowned and looked at him in astonishment. Her face was no longer as cold and arrogant as before, but instead full of sadness.
The emperor sat on the chair, the sun shining on his back. Looking from behind the light, Ruyi and Li Yu could only see the emperor's weird yet happy expression, which inadvertently revealed the contempt and cruelty of a superior.
"Your Majesty, how could you do this..." Ruyi felt as if her heart was being crushed by this heavy hammer, wearing away her soft heart and hurting her sincere feelings.
"Ruyi, why are you sad? This is a good thing. Li Yu will serve you from now on. Are you unhappy?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile.
Ruyi forced her lips to smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty..." Her voice became weaker as she spoke further.
Concubine Xian, who was always confident and calm, felt really frightened at this moment.
She and Hongli knew each other and fell in love, and they accompanied each other for more than 20 years.
From the palace to the harem, he went to the late emperor to ask for her, just to be with her. He came to see her on the wedding night, just for the love he had for her.
She accompanied him at all times, including when the late emperor passed away, toured the east, and when Khorchin asked for the princess' hand in marriage. Whether the emperor was happy or unhappy, she was always there.
This was the first time she saw him like this.
So cruel, so indifferent to her heart.
This is so disregarding the affection we had on the wall in the past!
Li Yu was already sweating profusely. He wanted to beg the emperor for help, but all he got was a question from the emperor.
The emperor said, "Li Yu, are you unhappy?"
How could he not be happy? How dare he not be happy?
Li Yu fell to the ground and forced a smile, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am grateful." These words came from the depths of his soul and floated into the emperor's ears tremblingly.
The emperor nodded and said, "Very good." Then he tossed his clothes and left.
The emperor took Yanwan to the Yangxin Palace, saying that he wanted to teach her how to play chess. So Chunchan and Lancui helped Suo Xin back to the side hall of Yikun Palace.
Li Yu was sitting on the ground in a daze, his face pale and sweaty. Concubine Xian was also sitting on a chair beside him with a gloomy face, not saying a word.
Seeing Chunchan and Lancui, Ruyi forced a smile and said, "惢心 is back. Doctor Jiang, please take care of惢心 first. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ruyi walked out step by step on the high horse hooves. Li Yu did not think of supporting Concubine Xian, and just sat on the ground without moving.
Ruyi touched the door of the side hall and went out carefully.
Chunchan and Lancui ignored Li Yu's miserable appearance, and Jiang Yubin refused to talk to him. It was only when Suo Xin felt sorry for Li Yu that she asked, "Eunuch Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yu looked at her, his eyes full of gratitude for her willingness to save his face, as well as guilt and mixed emotions. He shook his head, forced a smile, and said softly, "It's okay."
After saying that, Li Yu got up, took the whisk, and walked out with light steps.
"Everyone is so listless. What's going on?" Suo Xin said curiously.
"Miss Suoxin, stop thinking about things you don't want to do and think about when to treat us to a wedding." Lan Cui teased her with a smile.
She and Chunchan carefully let Suo Xin sit on the bed. Suo Xin nodded shyly and said, "I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet when my injury heals."
"Okay, we have to go back and serve the master, so we'll leave first." Chunchan said to the two people with a smile. She and Lancui simply said goodbye to惢心 and the others and went to the Yangxin Palace.
*Qixiang Palace
Jin Yuyan was curled up on the bed, holding a child's bellyband in her hand, which was embroidered by Zhenshu for her child a few months ago.
But now, Zhenshu is gone, and the child is gone too.
She did not become a royal concubine, but was demoted to a noble lady.
Jin Yuyan shed tears silently, and with deep resentment in her heart, she kept repeating a name over and over again - Ruyi.
It's all because of that bitch of hers!
"My dear, the doctor said that you hurt your child because of your mood swings." Li Xin came over with a bowl of medicine, "Please drink some medicine."
Seeing that Concubine Jia was just crying silently and didn't move, Li Xin sighed and advised, "My dear, the Queen sent something today. It is the best blood bird's nest that nourishes the body. I have asked someone to stew it. You can try some later."
*Yonghe Palace
Today, Concubine Mei wore the auspicious dress that can only be worn during festivals and banquets. She was playing the pipa to the air in the pavilion behind the palace.
She closed her eyes, her ten fingers dancing on the pipa very quickly, with an intoxicated smile on her face, a happy smile.
Jin Yuyan harmed her children. She wanted Jin Yuyan to suffer as much as she did, to make her lose every child in her womb, and to be heartbroken.
The sound of the pipa is passionate, expressing resentment and hatred, as well as the joy and relief of revenge.
At the end of the song, Bai Ruiji hugged the phoenix-necked pipa, which was the one she used when she first met the emperor. The emperor later gave her better ones, but she didn't like them.
Just because the others are not the original ones.
If she had a choice, she didn't want revenge, she didn't want the position of concubine, she just wanted her child.
Her own child.
