In the vortex of power in the palace, although the emperor deeply missed his old relationship with Ruyi, he had to make a decision in the face of the overall situation.He ordered Yuhu to stop pursuing the matter and take care of Jiabi personally while ensuring Ruyi's safety.However, this decision was a huge turning point in fate for Ruyi.
The emperor moved the eldest brother to Zhongcui Palace, and the eldest brother had a deep relationship with Ruyi. He personally went to the emperor to plead for mercy and even scolded Aruo.But the emperor ignored it and just asked the eldest brother to go to the palace of pure concubines.Later, Li Yu came to announce the decree, and Ruyi was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the cold palace for life.This cold decision caused Ruyi's world to collapse instantly.
Lingxin and Sanbao were determined to follow Ruyi into the cold palace. Ruyi chose to let Lingxin follow him and entrusted Sanbao to Hai Changzai.She asked Li Yu to let her see the emperor again, knelt in front of the emperor, and asked the emperor if he believed in justice.However, the emperor's response made her heartbroken.He mentioned the relationship between the two - the wall-mounted moment - but the reality was that he helplessly watched his beloved woman walk into the cold palace.
Ruyi returned to the palace, and the hairpin in front of her reminded her of the happy times.She put on the clothes of a commoner and bid farewell to Hailan and Chunbi.On the way to the cold palace, she learned that today was the canonization ceremony for Jiabi, Meibi and Shen Changzai.But she herself was taken to an empty courtyard, which was the place where concubines who had fallen out of favor and made mistakes in the past generations were punished.
Life in the cold palace was very cold, and Ruyi felt unprecedented loneliness and despair here.Li Yu kowtowed to say goodbye before leaving and returned the velvet flowers with concern, which made her feel the warmth and warmth of human kindness.The figures and crazy women in front of the window late at night frightened her even more.However, she still faced it all with strength and comforted those women with the same tragic fate with snacks.
At the same time, the emperor's love for A Ruo also caused turmoil in the harem.Concubine Jia was very dissatisfied with this, and she made up her mind to completely conquer Ah Ruo after giving birth to the prince.She was worried about whether her prince would be valued by the emperor, because this child was not only her hope, but also the prince's hope.
Although Ruyi lost her former glory and wealth in the cold palace, she still maintained her inner tenacity and kindness.She adapted to this new environment in her own way, and at the same time tried her best to help those women with the same tragic fate.
