Chapter 252: The Emperor Returns to the Palace; The Mysterious Woman Blocks the Road

Rong Pei asked, "Can the Empress be trusted?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

Rong Pei nodded and helped Ruyi back to Yikun Palace.

Hailan was getting anxious waiting. Seeing Ruyi return, she stood up and greeted her: "How is my sister? Is Yongcheng okay?"

Ruyi nodded, and the two of them walked into the inner hall hand in hand.

"Although Yongsheng's biological mother, Jin, did many evil things, Yongsheng is still a pure child at heart," said Hai Lan.

Ruyi: "Yes, I have also talked to Yongsheng. He was actually influenced by Jin. Jin wanted him to be the crown prince for Li Yin and Yu.

It's a pity that she ignored Yongcheng's thoughts."

Hailan pursed her lips and said, "Fortunately, you, sister, helped him, otherwise his leg would have been really disabled.

Did the Emperor send a letter today? You can see how much the Emperor cares about my sister.

Ruyi chuckled: "I am the Queen, so naturally I have to manage the harem for him. He is just asking according to the routine."

Hailan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled. She leaned over and whispered in Ruyi's ear: "Sister, you're jealous, aren't you?"

Ruyi raised her hand and tapped her forehead: "You are the most naughty."

Time flies and it is the day when the Emperor and Empress Dowager return to the palace.

Early in the morning, everyone got up early, washed, dressed and prepared to welcome the emperor.

However, instead of welcoming the Emperor and Empress Dowager, they only received a young eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict.

The eunuch delivering the decree knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Empress, and all the ladies and gentlemen. The Emperor has ordered that you all return to your palaces and there is no need to greet them."

Ruyi nodded and said to the crowd: "Alright, since the emperor has ordered us to go back to the palace."

The carriage entered the imperial city at noon, which was lunch time, so Ruyi asked the small kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that Hongli liked.

Qi Hongli came over as soon as the dishes were served.

Ruyi stood up and saluted him: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Hongli helped her up and said, "There's no need for formalities between you and me."

Ruyi: "The rules cannot be broken."

Hongli was exhausted after traveling all the way, his face full of fatigue.

Ruyi placed a bowl of old duck soup in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work on the journey."

Hongli nodded: "Well, although it is very tiring, I have gained a lot this time. Seeing the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I am really relieved."

"The Emperor is diligent in his work and loves his people, just like the late Emperor!"

Hongli was happy in his heart, but he said on the surface: "How can I compare with the late emperor?"

After lunch, Ruyi accompanied Hongli for a nap.

He fell asleep before he could say a few words.

Ruyi sat up gently and went out.

She said to Li Yu: "Nothing happened on the way?"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment. "That's hard for me to say," he said.

"It's okay, go ahead and tell me."

"Originally, the Luanjia was supposed to come back this morning, but on the way, a woman blocked the road."

"A woman blocking the road? This is abnormal. How can so many guards be stopped by a woman?"

Li Yu: "Yes, I also feel it is strange."

"It's just that the Emperor felt that the woman must have suffered a great injustice, so he risked his life to stop the Luan Emperor's carriage, and now he has brought her back."

"In fact, the Queen Mother was unwilling for the Emperor to bring back a woman of unknown origin, but the Emperor insisted on bringing her back."

Ruyi asked, "Where is that woman?"

"The Emperor has placed her in the eastern wing of the Yangxin Palace."

Ruyi frowned but didn't think it was a big deal.

"Alright, I understand. You should go and have some rest."

Li Yu leaned forward and said, "Yes, I thank the Queen for her consideration."
