Chapter 197 Jinzhong helps Yanwan Yunche bring back the princess
Yan Wan's expression changed so suddenly and quickly that Ling Yunche was caught off guard, but the appointment had already fallen on him.
"Why did Princess Hanbu Xiangjian enter the palace and ask a servant to go and greet her?"
Ling Yunche came to Yan Wan and confronted her immediately.
It was a hot summer day, and a bowl of peeled grapes was placed next to Yanwan. Chunchan handed Yanwan a silver fork for her to use.
A cold grape entered her mouth, and the coolness relieved Yanwan's boredom caused by pregnancy and the hot weather.
Yanwan looked at Ling Yunche leisurely as he came to call for an explanation, and consoled her with soft words.
"Brother Yun Che, I am helping you.
Princess Jingse ordered people to perform rituals and pray for blessings in Yikun Palace, and you have nothing to do in Yikun Palace.
Rather than watching the Empress being trapped in the Yikun Palace, it is better to do something to please the Emperor. Maybe the Emperor will release the Empress once he is happy. "
Yan Wan saw that Ling Yunche had a gloomy expression, and he probably wanted more opportunities to be alone with Ruyi.
And that clenched fist, is it because he is unwilling to let him and Ruyi rely on the emperor's arrangements?
"I specifically told you that you were arranged by the Empress to show her goodwill to the Emperor."
The sweet and sour grapes made Yan Wan unwilling to say more to Ling Yunche. She simply explained that this arrangement was one that Ling Yunche could not refuse.
It also dealt a heavy blow to his self-confidence, making him realize that he just couldn't defeat the emperor.
Ling Yunche's tightly clenched fist loosened again, feeling unwilling and helpless.
"But if I leave, what will happen to the Queen?"
Yan Wan spat out a mouthful of grape seeds, she thought she had heard it wrong.
Ling Yunche felt that Ruyi could not live without him. More than 30 days of praying really brought Ling Yunche and Ruyi closer.
"Brother Yun Che, be careful with your words.
It sounds like there's something going on between you and the Queen.
Please don't tarnish the Queen's innocence."
Ling Yunche's expression turned unnatural after hearing Yan Wan's words.
He and Ruyi are innocent, and this innocence is difficult to transcend.
Ling Yunche explained awkwardly.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the Queen has had nightmares lately and can only sleep peacefully if I stay by her side."
Yanwan just smiled at this and used another grape. Chunchan spoke in time.
"Eunuch Ling, why are you getting more and more confused?
The Queen Mother has been having nightmares these past few days and is a little scared. How can she get Eunuch Ling to accompany her to sleep?
So in the future, when the Emperor summons the Empress to sleep with him, will Eunuch Ling also be there to accompany her?
Aren't you harming the queen?"
Ling Yunche subconsciously worried that no one would take care of Ruyi when he left the palace, and he didn't want to say something that was beyond his refusal. He quickly apologized.
"That was not what I meant."
"Yan Wan, can't we find someone else to welcome the princess?"
Ling Yunche's request to Yan Wan like this was completely different from the one who was indignant a few days ago and said that Yan Wan had ulterior motives towards Yong Qi.
"Brother Yun Che, weren't you worried about the Fifth Prince a few days ago, thinking that the decision I made was harmful?
I specifically asked the Emperor to order you to welcome the princess. Please see if I will harm anyone."
Ling Yunche was stunned by what Yan Wan said. Ling Yunche only said that day out of his understanding of Yan Wan, and he didn't expect Yan Wan to really care about it.
Ling Yun was speechless.
As soon as Yan Wan saw his expression, she knew that what he said that day was purely talk and he had no evidence in his hands.
"Okay, that's it, I really don't have time to accompany Brother Yun Che.
If Brother Yun Che doesn't go, he will be disobeying the Queen's order."
Yan Wan was so disgusted by Ling Yunche that she couldn't eat.
Ling Yunche, however, had no intention of leaving.
“Bold Ling Yunche, the person in front of you is the emperor’s concubine.
You are just a eunuch. How many heads do you have to offend the imperial concubine?
Don't ask the Imperial Concubine such stupid questions in the future. You are also serving the Empress in the same way."
Just when Yan Wan was too lazy to deal with Ling Yunche, Jinzhong appeared domineeringly.
As soon as Jinzhong opened his mouth, Ling Yunche obviously became more honest. Seeing this, Jinzhong said viciously.
"If you dare to attack me, I don't mind reporting to the Emperor how the Empress trained you."
Jinzhong felt that Yanwan had given Ling Yunche too much favor in the past, so much that he could not recognize his own identity.
Ling Yunche dared to say this to Yan Wan, but he didn't dare to say this to Jin Zhong. Ling Yunche looked at Yan Wan with a surprised look for a long time. Then he said silently:
"Empress Ling, you have changed."
Ling Yunche arrived and left with just these bland words.
With Jinzhong's support, Yanwan started eating the grapes that Jinzhong had peeled.
On the fifteenth day after Ling Yunche's departure, Ruyi had been released from house arrest. In order to welcome the Han tribe, the emperor had allowed Ruyi to host a palace banquet.
Ruyi's mind was not on the palace banquet. She left the matters to Hailan and Su Lujun, and lay on the kang with her head tilted, like a woman waiting for her husband.
"Rong Pei, the Princess of Han tribe will be entering the palace tomorrow, and Ling Yunche should be back too.
Find someone else to see what's going on."
Since Ling Yunche left, Ruyi seemed to have not slept well. She was always worried about Ling Yunche. She didn't know when Ling Yunche would come back, so she asked every day when Princess Han would enter the palace.
The princess finally entered the palace. But Ruyi found that Ling Yunche had not returned yet.
Rong Pei was also anxious. She was worried that Ling Yunche would not return, and she was also worried about why Ruyi was so worried about Ling Yunche. Ruyi asked Ling Yunche several times a day these days.
It was hard for Rong Pei not to feel strange.
Rong Pei hesitated as she walked out of the bedroom, and happened to see Ling Yunche at the palace gate.
"Ling Yunche, you are finally back. The Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."
Rong Pei went to greet Ling Yunche first, but Ling Yunche ignored her and passed by Rong Pei with the people he brought.
Rong Pei angrily chased after him and asked, placing herself between Ling Yunche and the palace maid, interrogating Ling Yunche.
"Ling Yunche, you've been out for a while and your heart has gone wild. I'm talking to you."
Ling Yunche was questioned by Rong Pei, but he didn't want to pay attention to Rong Pei. He just said to the palace servant who brought him:
"This is the princess's gift to the queen. You can take it inside first."
After the palace maid who brought the gift entered, Ling Yunche said to Rong Pei:
"I'm tired after many days and don't want to talk."
"Ling Yunche you..."
“Rong Pei, Ling Yunche just came back, why do you have to be so aggressive?
I don't know how you have learned to be like this. How are you different from those concubines in the harem who are vying for favor?"
Ruyi came at no one's discretion, and wholeheartedly favored Ling Yunche.
Seeing that Rong Pei looked as if she had lost her parents, but seeing that Ruyi looked as if she had seen something, Ling Yunche forced a smile and went forward to support Ruyi.
"During the days when I was away, did your Majesty sleep well?"
Ruyi and Ling Yunche's brows were wrinkled as they talked and laughed.
"I'm fine, but I'm relieved now that you're back."
Rong Pei followed the two of them silently. She always felt weird when she heard these words.
When Ling Yunche and Ruyi sat down to talk, Rong Pei served them tea.
Ruyi saw Ling Yunche holding the tea without moving.
"What happened?"
When Ruyi asked, Ling Yunche made an inner decision and then pulled over the palace maid who had just given Ruyi a gift.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to help Princess Xiangjian."
