Ah Ruo’s true identity was revealed
In this deep palace, Ruyi's wisdom and tenacity were once again demonstrated.She cleverly asked Imperial Physician Jiang to remove the Linglingxiang from the bracelet to avoid the Queen's suspicion. This move not only reflected her wit, but also revealed her caution and vigilance in the court.
Subsequently, the conversation between Ruyi and Yuhu revealed Ling Yunche's fate.Ling Yunche, the once loyal guard, was assigned by Ruyi to be on duty in Kunning Palace.Yu Hu revealed that even if Ruyi did not intercede for Ling Yunche, the emperor would reward him heavily.This is because the emperor has been secretly paying attention to Ruyi's safety, and even specifically ordered Yuhu to find the guards from Leng Palace to protect her.This made Ruyi deeply feel the emperor's care and concern, and she was full of gratitude for it.
In the Yangxin Hall, the emperor showed Ruyi the painting he had always treasured. The painting had been lost for a time, but the emperor said that even if the painting was lost, Ruyi's position in his heart would not change.He missed Qingying back then, the woman who lived a relaxed and comfortable life, but now Ruyi had to spend hard days in the cold palace.The emperor was well aware of Ruyi's suffering in the cold palace, and even the handkerchiefs and belts she made passed through his eyes before being sold outside the palace.Ruyi was deeply moved by this meticulous care, and the emperor promised to protect her from now on.
When Ling Yunche was on duty at Kunning Palace, he met his former lover Yan Wan.Yan Wan was scolded for failing to collect pine branches, and Ling Yunche extended a helping hand.This scene gave Yan Wan hope, and she tried to save the relationship.While Ruyi and Yingxin were admiring plum blossoms in the garden, they unexpectedly met Ling Yunche.Ling Yunche hoped that Ruyi could arrange a better job for Yanwan so that she would not be tired.Ruyi promised to find a solution after spring, which made Ling Yunche grateful.
However, the turmoil in the palace did not subside.Aruo's Amaguiduo died while guarding against a flash flood. In order to comfort his family, the emperor specially ordered Li Yu to send a thousand taels of silver.But at the palace banquet, the Spring Festival gift prepared by the emperor for the concubines caused a disturbance.The concubines received the Pearl of the East China Sea, but Aruo received cinnabar.The emperor asked Yu Hu to explain the whole story. It turned out that Yu Hu found that Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi's families were wealthy, and their money was actually distributed by A Ruo.
Later, the emperor asked Ah Ruo to recount Ruyi's murder of the emperor's heir again, but Ah Ruo hesitated and said that he had forgotten it.Hailan and Jiabi accused Aruo, thinking that she was the culprit who framed Ruyi.Ruyi pointed out that A Ruo could not afford to buy so much cinnabar, and there must be someone behind it.A Ruo looked at the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine hurriedly distanced herself from the relationship and accused A Ruo of being evil-hearted.When Mei Guiren saw that the real culprit who killed her child was A Ruo, she stepped forward angrily and slapped her in the face.
The emperor ordered people to move Ah Ruo to the side hall of Yangxin Hall for further interrogation.Ruyi was finally redressed and felt very happy.The imperial concubine hurriedly found the queen, worried that A Ruo would betray herself and the queen.Su Lian insisted that everything was done by A Ruo and had nothing to do with him.The emperor asked Ah Ruo to change into slave clothes, and the imperial concubine sent her a message, saying that the lives of her two younger brothers were now in her own hands.
Under the emperor's questioning, Ah Ruo finally admitted her crime of framing Ruyi, but she refused to reveal the person behind the scenes.The emperor asked if she was the one who poisoned Ruyi in the cold palace. Although Ah Ruo denied it, the maid next to her revealed her resentment and poisonous plot against Ruyi.Ah Ruo could only admit that the incident in the cold palace and the snake encounter were all her fault.She claimed that she was once favored by the emperor, but Ruyi suppressed her at every turn, making her resentful.Over the years, although she was very favored in the eyes of outsiders, she was actually ridiculed and jealous, and never truly favored by the emperor.
The emperor said that he kept A Ruo just so that Ruyi could be innocent one day. He had never really liked A Ruo.He asked Ruyi to leave and he wanted to interrogate Aruo alone.Finally, the emperor told Ruyi that A Ruo still refused to confess the mastermind behind the scenes. For the sake of the peace of the harem, the matter was investigated until A Ruo.Yu Hu revealed that A Ruo's two younger brothers were both being held captive by Master Gao, and that Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi's money actually came from the imperial concubine and only passed through A Ruo's hands.The emperor was worried that the queen was also involved, and decided to keep A Ruo silent forever.As for the imperial concubine, the emperor believed that it was not yet time to deal with her.
