TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 116 Fu Cha Lang Ya 116

"Of course, I am not the Hongli of the past. As an emperor, I should care about the world. Petty love and affection are just embellishments."

"Princess Xian, you have been intelligent since childhood. Don't you understand this truth?"

Considering their past affection, Hongli decided to persuade Ruyi one last time. If she still refused to repent, then he could not be blamed.

Ruyi was struck by lightning when she heard Hongli's words. She staggered back a few steps and tears flowed uncontrollably.

That was her love, the preference she pursued all her life, but it was defined as an embellishment by the person in front of her.

"From the wall and on horseback, we gazed at each other from afar. The moment I saw you, I knew my heart was broken. I, your concubine, have also lost the young man I once loved so much."

Her look of great sorrow and despair made Hongli completely explode.

"It's just a piece of opera. Don't you feel tired of repeating it all day long?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by loss? I am still sitting here perfectly fine."

"Your status dictates your responsibilities. As a concubine, you have your own duties to fulfill, yet you can't even raise your children properly."

……

After a quarrel, Ruyi was demoted to Ruda Ying, the fifth prince was returned to his biological mother for upbringing, and the eighth princess was given to Concubine Ying.

Unlike before, this time Hongli explicitly ordered Ruyi to move out of the main hall of the Yanx Palace and confine her to a side hall and not be allowed to go out.

"I believe they will raise the heir well. Since you don't trust me, then let it be."

Ruyi was completely disheartened and completely forgot the purpose of her visit.

Supported by惢心, he stumbled back to the Yanxi Palace.

Every time Ruyi disappears, the entire harem seems extremely warm.

The annoying Concubine Ying had no extra energy to keep an eye on Wei Yanwan after she had a child.

Shupin finally had the child she had always longed for, but now she was a little different.

After not having any contact with Ruyi for a long time and having no one to talk about love with her, the throbbing in her heart seemed to slowly calm down.

She picked up her grandfather's poetry collection again.

Waiting for leisure to change but the old people's mind, but the old people's mind is easy to change.

I don’t know whether this change is good or bad. In a trance, Yihuan seemed to have had a big dream.

The arrival of this child pulled her out of her decadent dream.

Turning to the next page, it said, "Gambling on books has dissipated the aroma of tea. At that time, I thought it was normal."

Cherish the people around you?

But now all she wants to cherish is this child.

The strong feelings of the past disappeared overnight, and everything had nothing to do with love anymore.

When Langya saw Yihuan again, she quickly noticed her changes.

A truly aloof beauty who was brought up in an aristocratic family and loves poetry and books.

She would sincerely apologize to the queen, smile at everyone, and be distant but not indifferent.

Everyone thought that having a child had changed her, and her non-romantic and unpretentious attitude was surprisingly endearing.

Only Langya knew that this was the real Yehenara Yihuan.

Shupin has her own independent thoughts and consciousness.

Half a year later, Hongli finally fell ill due to the damage done by the screen.

Ruyi received the news in the Yanx Palace and was suddenly awakened.

Now the only people who serve her closely are惢心 and Rong Pei. After Ling Yunche recovered from his injuries, he started working as a guard in the Yanx Palace.

Hongli specifically ordered that he receive the salary of the lowest-ranking guard.

But in Ling Yunche's opinion, none of these matters. He is satisfied just to be with Ruyi.

"惢心, go and call Hai Lan for me."

Ruyi had no idea that she was now just a small concubine and had no right to have a noble come to see her.

However, Hailan's attitude towards her has never changed, and that is why she has not gained anything from being confined to her house for this period of time.

Late at night, Hailan secretly came to the door of the side hall. Although there was no one guarding it, the two of them insisted on talking through the crack of the door.

"Hai Lan, please think of a way. The emperor is seriously ill now, and I need to see him."

"Sister, don't worry, I will find a way."

Hailan has now completely fallen out of favor, and these days she has no idea about the whereabouts of the screen.

It seems that as long as the problem does not happen to her and Ruyi, nothing else matters.

If someone encounters misfortune, it is not someone else's fault.

With Hai Lan's arrangement, Ruyi disguised herself as her maid and accompanied her to the Yangxin Palace.

The poison in Hongli's body has been cured by the imperial physician. Fortunately, he has always been in good health and will recover after just a few days of weakness.

What worries them is that the source of the toxin has not been identified until now, and no one has even discovered where it is hidden.

When Ruyi walked up to Hongli with tea, she almost scared him.

"If you agree? Why are you here? Didn't I order you to be confined to the Yanxi Palace? Who let you out?"

"Lady Yu? How dare you be so bold as to disobey my order?"

Hai Lan thought that Ruyi and Hongli had not seen each other for a long time, and they would definitely confide in each other.

Unexpectedly, the emperor put the focus on herself, and she hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault. I could not bear to see you and my sister suffer from the pain of longing for each other, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Your Majesty, I am worried about you, so I asked Hailan for help."

"Get out!"

Hongli felt that he simply had no way to communicate with the two people in front of him. What was the pain of missing someone?

Ever since Ruyi was put under house arrest, he never thought of this person.

What on earth has possessed them? They feel deeply in love with Ruyi.

Hailan retreated quickly, but Ruyi still stood there.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

"Ah."

Ruyi felt a tightness in her chest due to his cold attitude and felt very uncomfortable, but when she saw his pale face, she felt distressed instantly.

"Your Majesty, you were poisoned this time because of that folding screen with the phoenix and peony. I have learned that the silk thread underneath was soaked in a potion."

"If you use the poison gas for a long time, it will enter your entire body. You can't leave it there after you recover."

When Hongli heard this, his eyes instantly became sharp. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Ruyi's wrist, holding it tightly.

His strength was so great that it seemed as if he could crush the opponent's wrist bones.

"Where did you get the news, and when did you get it? Why didn't you tell me then?"

"What's the purpose of deliberately delaying it until today?"

Ruyi was in so much pain but was reluctant to break free. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, let alone physical contact.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. I swear on my life that nothing I say is false."

"What purpose could this concubine have? I was just worried when I heard that you were seriously ill!"

Hongli did not get the news he wanted, but he was not angry.

Now that we know where the poison is hidden, finding the real culprit behind it is a piece of cake.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't bother talking about it. Get out!"

"Jinzhong, report this matter to the Queen and hand Ru Yanying and Concubine Yu over to her for handling."
