Chapter 198: The Servant Wants the Queen to Send Princess Xiangjian Out of the Palace
"Princess Xiangjian?"
Ruyi pouted and unhappily repeated what Ling Yunche said, her words filled with reluctance.
Ruyi remembered that Ling Yunche was extremely reluctant before leaving the palace, but on the fifteenth day, he began to call her Princess Xiangjian affectionately.
Ling Yunche did not notice the reluctance in Ruyi's words. After looking at her furtively, he waved to a little palace maid behind him.
"Princess Xiangjian."
Xiang Jian heard Ling Yunche's call and walked up to him and called him calmly.
"Ling Yunche."
When Ling Yunche waved at Ruyi from behind, Ruyi sensed something was wrong. She looked at the maid carefully and saw only white skin. She had never seen a woman so white before.
Seeing Han Xiangjian reminds people of Tianshan Mountain. The cool and mysterious Tianshan Mountain attracts people in some way.
After appreciating Han Xiangjian's beauty, Ruyi realized belatedly what a terrifying thing Ling Yunche had done.
"Rong Pei, Xiang Jian is a princess, how can she be dressed as a palace maid? Take Xiang Jian to the side hall to change her clothes."
Rong Pei was so shocked that she didn't know what to do when Ling Yunche brought the Princess of Han tribe into the palace. After Ruyi told her to do something, it took a long time for Rong Pei to remember to take Xiangjian out.
As Xiangjian left, Ruyi sighed heavily.
"People are gone, what do you want to do?"
Ruyi couldn't help but glance at Ling Yunche. It was hard for Ruyi not to feel unhappy that Ling Yunche had brought back such a beauty.
Ling Yunche had not yet noticed Ruyi's unhappiness. He said to Ruyi excitedly:
"I would like Your Majesty to escort Princess Xiangjian out of the palace."
Ling Yunche's words left Ruyi dumbfounded.
"Ling Yunche, you are too bold. Princess Xiangjian came to the Qing Dynasty to make peace between the Han tribe and the Qing Dynasty. You asked me to let Princess Xiangjian go. Do you know what will happen?"
"You are really blinded by lust."
In the end, Ruyi couldn't help but speak out her true feelings. She felt that Ling Yunche had made Xiang Jian lose her mind.
Ling Yunche finally realized that Ruyi was thinking in the wrong direction and hurried to explain.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I am a eunuch and I know my limits."
Ling Yunche's explanation made Ruyi realize that her words were inappropriate. She looked around awkwardly before explaining again.
"That's not what I meant. Please tell me what's going on with Princess Xiangjian."
Ruyi forced herself to stop thinking about what was going on between Ling Yunche and Hanxiang.
Ling Yunche also came out of the awkward atmosphere and explained the reason.
"Princess Xiangjian came to the Qing Dynasty not just to be seen by the emperor, but the Khan of Hanbu is planning to take Princess Xiangjian into the harem."
Ruyi's face showed embarrassment.
Ruyi really didn't want to think about what it would be like if such a beauty like Han Xiangjian entered the harem.
"The Khan of Han sent Princess Xiangjian to the palace for this very reason."
"Can I still persuade the emperor not to allow Han to enter the palace?"
Ruyi wanted to be virtuous, but the stunning beauty she had seen at first sight could not be erased from her mind.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangjian cannot enter the palace. Princess Xiangjian has someone she loves. I brought Princess Xiangjian into the palace just to help her."
Ruyi was stunned.
"Xiang Jian has someone she likes? How do you know?"
Ruyi didn't think there was anything wrong with Ling Yunche's words about helping Xiangjian leave the palace. Instead, she wanted to know about Han Xiangjian's past first.
Afterwards, Ling Yunche briefly told Ruyi the story of how Xiangjian's fiancé Han Qi pursued Xiangjian and eventually died.
"Princess Xiangjian, you are pitiful. A person like this would not have a good life in the harem."
While speaking, Ling Yunche glanced at Ruyi and thought that there were already enough miserable concubines in the harem and he didn't want any more.
Something in Ruyi's heart relaxed. She smiled and said to Ling Yunche:
"Indeed."
Seeing Ruyi's approval, Ling Yunche knew that the matter was about 80% likely to be accomplished. Finally, he expressed his concerns.
"But your majesty, General Zhao Hui may have to suffer."
Ruyi thought for a while before realizing that welcoming Hanxiang was General Zhaohui's job.
"Nothing, when the incident happens, I will do my best to protect General Zhao Hui from death."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. General Zhaohui is a general who protects the country. And if Princess Xiangjian gets into trouble, the Han tribe will not be able to explain to the Qing Dynasty."
After Rong Pei changed Xiang Jian's clothes, she came to ask Ruyi for instructions. She didn't want to hear that Ruyi and Ling Yunche were planning such a horrifying thing.
Ling Yunche didn't look happy when he saw Rong Pei. Ruyi also didn't like Rong Pei's rash intrusion.
"Rong Pei, after following me, you should know the relationship between me and the emperor.
If there comes a day when the Emperor and I are unhappy, would you like to see me?"
Rong Pei was stumped by Ruyi's question.
The group was so engrossed in their conversation that they had no idea someone was eavesdropping outside.
"It's incredible, it's incredible."
Nanny Qian, who accidentally overheard the conspiracy between Ruyi and Ling Yunche, ran out of Yikun Palace in a daze, mumbling as she stumbled.
Madam Qian was so busy shouting that she didn't notice someone coming from the opposite side. She stumbled and bumped into the arms of the person opposite her.
"Madame Qian, what are you doing?"
Nanny Qian looked carefully and realized that it was Jinzhong.
"Eunuch Jinzhong, Eunuch Jinzhong."
Madam Qian seemed to have not yet reacted. She looked at the person who came and grabbed Jinzhong.
"Eunuch Jinzhong, please save this servant."
Jinzhong smiled evilly.
"Don't worry, I'll save you."
The next day, the palace banquet prepared for Han Xiangjian started on time.
Everything was normal at the palace banquet, except that when Princess Han was summoned, she was nowhere to be seen.
The emperor, who was sitting at the top, was getting impatient waiting.
"Zhao Hui, where is the princess?
Why don't you come out?"
The emperor couldn't see the princess, so he blamed Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui knelt down to explain.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangjian is regarded as a deity in the Han tribe. We dare not approach the princess rashly.
No outside men are allowed to approach within three meters of the princess' sedan chair. We, the humble ministers, can only ask the princess to get off the sedan chair from outside.
But for some reason the princess refused to get out of the sedan chair today."
Xiang Jian's mystery and persistence aroused the emperor's interest.
"Yuhu, go and invite Princess Xiangjian in person."
Yu Hu was ordered to come to the sedan chair and asked a few questions. After asking three times without getting a response, he went forward and lifted the curtain of Xiangjian's sedan chair.
Yu Hu was frightened by the scene inside, and Zhao Hui, who was standing in the distance, was also startled and hurried back to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the princess is missing. The sedan chair is empty."
Zhao Hui really didn't know when Han Xiang disappeared. He clearly saw Han Xiang last night.
"General Zhao Hui, you looked after Princess Xiang Jian but didn't take care of her. Now that the princess is missing, what crime should you be punished for?"
Before the emperor could punish Zhao Hui, Ruyi's voice came.
Zhao Hui knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"It's all my fault. But I really don't know where the princess has gone."
Ruyi looked at Zhaohui and stepped forward to comfort the emperor.
"Your Majesty, General Zhaohui has brought the princess back. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Please spare the general's life. It is not entirely the general's fault that the princess is missing."
Zhao Hui felt powerless when listening to Ruyi's plea for mercy. He was right, and Ruyi had already convicted him.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant..."
"Is that Princess Xiangjian?"
Zhao Hui was about to explain when Yan Wan's exclamation interrupted him.
