Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 144 Long time no see

Yongshou Palace was a scene of joy, but Yiku Palace was still as desolate as ever.

Midwinter was already a time of desolation, and Ruyi preferred quiet and quiet, disliking disturbance. The courtyard was cold and deserted, with a few withered leaves scattered on the snow and the bare branches creating a bleak and desolate scene.

On that day, Rong Pei came to the Yangxin Palace specifically to seek Li Yu's help. After Li Yu found an opportunity to persuade the emperor, the emperor finally took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Yiku Palace once or twice.

At first, when he saw Ruyi was sad, he tried to comfort her.

He tried to persuade her patiently over and over again.

But there was no effect. Even with the emperor's persuasion, Ruyi found it difficult to muster the energy to take care of the pregnancy.

The fifth princess had been raised by her since she was a child, but she passed away silently. She was very sad.

People have limited patience. Over time, his patience ran out and the emperor was unwilling to go again.

The fifth princess died young, and Ruyi was sad, and he was sad too.

Ruyi needs someone to comfort her, and so does he.

The war in Dzungar broke out again, and he had a lot of state affairs to deal with. He was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he have the mind to comfort the queen?

In addition, he was always the center of attention wherever he went, but when he went to the Yikun Palace, he had to bow his head, which made him very tired.

Every time I went there, I saw Ruyi with a dull face, sad and depressed all day long, which really made me tired.

Instead of going there to share her sorrow, he decided to stay in the Yangxin Palace to handle government affairs and distance himself from the pain of losing his daughter.

He knew Ruyi was upset, but as the emperor, he didn't have much time to persuade her. He hoped that Ruyi could think clearly as soon as possible and stop indulging in grief. After all, she was not only the mother of the fifth princess, but also the mother of a country.

Rather than being a loving mother, he hopes that Ruyi can do what a queen should do.

He helped her become the queen, not to see her wallowing in sorrow all day long.

Seeing that there was no result and the emperor was unwilling to go any longer, Li Yu became anxious.

Just when he was getting anxious, he ran into Ling Yunche who had just returned from outside.

Seeing that Li Yu's face looked a little off, Ling Yunche suspected that something was wrong with the Queen, so he took the initiative to stop Li Yu and talk to him.

"Eunuch Li Yu, isn't that a bad thing for the Empress?"

When he saw Li Yu, Ling Yunche secretly clenched his fists and asked the question that concerned her most.

Li Yu nodded helplessly. "Yes, the Emperor went to see the Empress a few times and he doesn't want to go anymore. I've tried my best to persuade her, but it's useless. But now, apart from the Emperor, who else can persuade the Empress?"

He is the Queen's husband, so his words are naturally more effective than those of others.

Hearing that the emperor did nothing, Ling Yunche felt jealous and anger flashed in his eyes.

How could such a man be worthy of the Queen, when he could neither be devoted to her nor even be by her side when she was in pain?

Such a person is not worthy of the Queen's sincerity at all.

After much deliberation, he decided to go and see for himself.

"Eunuch Li Yu, what you are holding in your hand is something you are sending to Yikun Palace, right?"

Li Yu nodded: "The Emperor is still thinking about the Empress. Even if she can't go, she will still give her a reward. I also hope that the Empress can be relieved and get over the pain of losing her daughter as soon as possible..."

"I was just thinking of trying to persuade the Empress. I don't know if she's willing to listen, but I have to give it a try. Why not let me take her there?"

Seeing that he offered to help, Li Yu was naturally willing and handed the tray to him.

"Thank you very much, Master Ling. Master Ling and the Queen have known each other for many years. I believe the Queen will be willing to listen to what you have to say. The Queen is still pregnant with the dragon fetus, so Master Ling must give her good advice."

Li Yu just thought that Ling Yunche cared about the Queen as much as he did, and gave him instructions with a smile.

"Yes, don't worry, eunuch. If it weren't for the Empress, I wouldn't be as glorious as I am today. I will definitely do my best to persuade you."

Ling Yunche took the tray with a lot on his mind, but he felt a little nervous inside.

Since getting married, Mao Qian has been by his side. Their statuses are very different. In order to avoid suspicion, he rarely enters Yiku Palace alone.

This is the first time that I have stepped into this place not for any errand, but just for my own ideas.

Crossing layers of red walls, I walked into this place that appeared in my dreams so many times. I wanted to see her current situation and comfort her who was immersed in the grief of losing her son.

But for some reason, the closer he got to Yiku Palace, the more excited Ling Yunche felt in his heart.

When he walked in, there was still snow in the courtyard and the palace was very quiet.

No one knew where the servants had gone. Finally, Rong Pei saw him when she was coming in and out, and helped go in to inform him.

Ling Yunche stepped into the inner hall, feeling that everything before his eyes was like a dream. His heart was beating like thunder, until that figure came into his sight, and then he felt a sense of reality.

Ruyi sat at the top, staring blankly at the place where the fifth princess used to walk.

"Empress, Lord Ling is here."

It wasn't until Rong Pei's voice rang in his ears that Ling Yunche suddenly woke up. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and saluted hurriedly: "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Seeing that it was Ling Yunche who had not been around for a long time, Ruyi could not help but smile: "Get up, how come you have time to come here today? How have you been these days? I see that the scars on your face are almost covered up now. I think Princess Maoqian has taken good care of you..."

It was rare for her to muster the energy to speak, and her words were full of concern. She seemed to be greeting him, but her brows were full of fatigue, and it was obvious that she had not been having a good time recently.

Hearing her mention himself, Ling Yunche's heart was filled with sadness.

Princess Mao Qian is good, but she is not what he wants after all. No matter how good she is, he is just deceiving himself and making ends meet.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing fine. But Your Majesty, you keep asking me if I am doing well. What about you? Are you doing well?"

As Ling Yunche spoke, he couldn't help but look directly into her eyes. Seeing those eyes that were once full of brilliance, but now torn by fate without a trace of charm, his heart couldn't help but ache.

Ruyi was stunned by his words, but she still forced a smile and said, "I am doing well, but I need some time to recuperate..."

Hearing her say this, Ling Che couldn't help but walk closer until he was just one step away from her and stopped.

He was so close that he could smell her fragrance, just like the day he carried her out of the fire.

The sudden approach made Ruyi confused and her face flushed, causing her to sit up straight involuntarily, looking down, not daring to look him in the eye.

Ling Yunche suddenly squatted on the ground and met her gaze again. He said solemnly, word by word:

"Your Majesty, you have advised me before, saying that I should look forward to everything and make plans for myself. I would like to say this in return. No matter what, I must live a good life in the days ahead. I do not want to see you continue to be so depressed."

"I know, but fate is playing tricks on me. Who can understand the pain in my heart?" Ruyi said helplessly when she heard Ling Yunche say this.

She understood these principles, but how could the pain of losing her daughter be easily eliminated?

Although she was the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, she was still a mother after all. How could a mother forget her own child?

These words are just simple words.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I understand your pain, but you are the Empress, the head of the six harems. Even if the Emperor understands you, he will not allow you to remain depressed. No matter what, I will stand behind you. I hope Your Majesty can get over the pain of the Fifth Princess's untimely death. For your own sake, and even more for the sake of your unborn child, and the trust that the Emperor has placed in you by giving you the throne of Empress, you must get over it..."

Seeing Ruyi's face full of pain, even though Ling Yunche couldn't bear it, he couldn't help but cheer her up by reminding her that she still had the responsibilities of the queen.

Although he did not like the emperor, he had to use the emperor as an excuse to cheer her up.
