Chapter 840 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 30]
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day when Jiapin is about to give birth. On that day, the whole palace was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. With bursts of painful cries, Jiapin finally gave birth to a healthy and lovely baby boy - the fifth prince. When the news reached Hongli's ears, he was overjoyed and decided to personally name the newborn "Yongsheng".
Meanwhile, Wei Yanwan was in deep distress. Although she had sent all the meager monthly salary from the palace to her mother who was far away in her hometown, it still could not meet the needs of her family. Recently, her mother even sent someone to tell her that the money was far from enough to cover the family expenses.
After learning about this, Wei Yanwan came to the place where she had agreed to meet Ling Yunche with a heavy heart. Looking at the gentle and considerate lover in front of her, she couldn't help but pour out her inner sorrow: "Brother Yunche, I really don't know what to do. I gave all the money I could take out to my mother, but she still felt it was not enough... Moreover, she has always despised your low status and felt that I would not have any good future if I followed you." As she spoke, tears gradually blurred her eyes.
Ling Yunche looked at his beloved woman with heartache, gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said firmly: "Sister Yanwan, don't be sad. I know I am not capable now, but I will definitely work harder and strive to make a name for myself as soon as possible so that you can live a happy and stable life!"
However, Wei Yanwan just shook her head silently, and said helplessly: "Brother Yunche, I want to believe you, but I don't have much time. When I turn 25, I will leave the palace. I really don't want to be a maid serving Concubine Chun for the rest of my life! Moreover, if I can't improve the situation at home, how can I be worthy of my mother and younger brother who have raised me with great difficulty? So... let's not meet again in the future." After saying this, Wei Yanwan turned around and covered her face, leaving Ling Yunche standing there blankly, heartbroken. Looking at Yanwan's back as she walked away, Ling Yunche felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
On this day, the sun shone through the dilapidated window lattice of the cold palace and sprinkled on Ruyi's slightly pale face. She gently handed the handkerchief embroidered with delicate patterns in her hand to Ling Yunche who was standing in front of her. At this time, Ling Yunche exuded a strong smell of alcohol and looked at Ruyi with a blurred and impatient look.
He was seen mumbling, "I'm just a man of low status. I'll never amount to anything in my life! Even the woman I love eventually left me because of my poverty..." As he spoke, he sighed heavily, as if his heart was filled with endless sorrow and resentment.
Ruyi listened to Ling Yunche's confession quietly, with a trace of pity in her eyes. She said softly: "If a woman easily abandons you just for the so-called future, then such a heartless person is not worth your sadness at all."
At this moment, the door of the cold palace was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Yubin walked in nervously. It turned out that he took a great risk to sneak into the cold palace just to treat Ruyi and her servant.
Jiang Yubin first carefully felt Ruyi's pulse, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, your health is fine. You only need to take good care of yourself for a while and you will be back to normal." Then, he turned to惢心 and gently motioned her to stretch out her hand. When Jiang Yubin felt惢心's pulse, Ruyi keenly noticed that there seemed to be some subtle emotional exchanges between the two. Their eyes occasionally met, revealing an indescribable tacit understanding and warmth.
That morning, the sun shone through the window lattice into Hongli's bedroom, illuminating the golden splendor. However, Hongli suddenly found that the purse he carried with him was missing. He thought carefully and remembered that he seemed to have put it beside the bed before going to bed last night, so he hurriedly called A Ruo and asked her to go to the bedroom to get it back.
Arruo followed the order and trotted all the way to Hongli's bedroom. When she walked to the bedside, her eyes were unconsciously attracted by an exquisite box. Curious, she gently opened the box, and saw a handkerchief lying quietly inside. The handkerchief was finely embroidered with a unique pattern. It was obvious that it was made by a woman. After taking a closer look, Arruo recognized that this was the thing that Ruyi had embroidered for Hongli! A surge of jealousy instantly surged in her heart. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself: "This Ruyi has been demoted to the cold palace, but the emperor still keeps her things. Could it be that he has never let her go?"
At the same time, in another corner outside the cold palace, Ling Yunche was immersed in his thoughts of Yan Wan and could not extricate himself. Since parting with Yan Wan, he had been drinking to drown his sorrows and spent his days in a daze.
At this moment, a shrill cry for help came from the cold palace. Ling Yunche was startled and sobered up. He immediately stood up and ran towards the direction of the sound. When he arrived, he saw that Ruyi's room was in chaos. Several colorful poisonous snakes were spitting out their tongues and pouncing on the people in the room with their fangs and claws. 惢心 held a wooden stick and tried her best to block the attack of the poisonous snakes, but it was obvious that she was gradually losing her strength.
Seeing this, Ling Yunche picked up the wine jug in his hand without hesitation and poured it on the poisonous snakes. The strong smell of wine stimulated the poisonous snakes to retreat and temporarily stop attacking. Taking advantage of this gap, Ling Yunche quickly rushed into the house and saw a wound on Ruyi's arm with blood oozing out. He knew that these poisonous snakes were extremely poisonous and the consequences would be disastrous if they were not dealt with in time.
Without caring about the etiquette between men and women, Ling Yunche quickly leaned over and sucked out the poisonous blood from Ruyi's wound. He sucked out the blood mouthful after mouthful until the color of the blood gradually became normal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he took out a detoxification pill from his arms, handed it to Ruyi and said, "Take this pill quickly, it can remove most of the toxins." Ruyi's eyes were full of gratitude, and she obediently swallowed the pill.
Afterwards, Ling Yunche began to carefully check the surroundings of the room, and soon found that several tiles on the roof had been lifted up at some point. It was obvious that these poisonous snakes were deliberately placed in Ruyi's room by someone in order to harm her.
Gao Xiyue was furious when she learned that Ruyi and her servant were both safe and sound. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she scolded Shuangxi beside her: "What a good you! I asked you to do such a small thing, but you messed it up! You are such a useless thing!"
Seeing this, Ah Ruo on the side also quickly chimed in to accuse Shuang Xi, "That's right, if you can't even do this, what else can we expect you to do? I really don't know why the master would employ such an incompetent person like you!"
At this time, Imperial Doctor Jiang rushed to diagnose Ruyi and her servant. After a careful examination, he frowned and looked puzzled. It turned out that Ruyi had taken the medicine he carefully prepared, but her condition did not improve at all, but became worse.
Just as Doctor Jiang was racking his brains to figure out the problem, Suo Xin came in with some food. Doctor Jiang accidentally glanced at the food and was shocked. After checking it out, he finally found the problem - these foods were very damp and cold. If consumed for a long time, rheumatic symptoms would inevitably worsen.
In this way, it is not difficult to infer that someone must have deliberately harmed Ruyi and her servant, and wanted to use this method to put them to death. Thinking of this, Doctor Jiang's face became more and more solemn.
