This was not Wei Ruo being a petty person, but how the original story described it.

Even though other plots had changed, this one point should still remain the same.

“Miss, the master said he will help you get through this, so you don’t have to worry about it,” Lin Fang said again.

“How is he going to help me?”

“The master is unwell, he needs you to take care of him by his side. Please rest assured, the Emperor will understand.”

“No, you go and tell your master that he doesn’t have to shield me. I will change my clothes and go into the palace with the palace servants,” Wei Ruo said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fang couldn’t help but express surprise.

“Is there a problem?” Wei Ruo asked.

“The subordinates originally thought that Miss would not want to go because from the beginning, Miss did not want to be Queen Rui,” Lin Fang expressed her confusion.

“This is something you can’t avoid. It can’t always be like this. Besides, I also want to meet Imperial Concubine Qi and understand her a little bit more, which is beneficial for your master and me.”

“Miss, you understand the greater good,” Lin Fang couldn’t help but express her admiration towards Wei Ruo.

“Don’t flatter me, I am just trying to survive. Since I am in this position, I must think about how to tread the path ahead, instead of regretting how I got here. I have already told your master yesterday that I will strive to do well as Queen Rui. This is beneficial for both of us,” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, what you said is extremely right,” Lin Fang gratefully replied.

“Alright, you should also get ready, later you’ll accompany me to the palace with Xiumei,” Wei Ruo instructed.

Since they are going into the palace, having a couple of trustworthy people by her side is essential.

Although this trip should not pose any danger, even if Imperial Concubine Qi is displeased with her, she shouldn’t dare to do anything overtly.

As long as the Emperor protects King Rui, Wei Ruo as Queen Rui should be safe.

Nonetheless, having two capable people by her side to respond to unexpected situations is never wrong. She has to be prepared for the unanticipated.

“Yes, I will prepare right away.”

Originally, without Wei Ruo’s mention Lin Fang was willing to accompany Wei Ruo. Now that Wei Ruo was happy for her to go, this was an even better outcome.

Wei Ruo changed into more formal attire and Xiumei helped her freshen up once again.

Looking in the mirror, Wei Ruo saw her hair tied up in a tall knot, adorned with hairpins, feeling bothered and burdened.

Although beautiful, indeed it was uncomfortable to maneuver.

Xiumei and Lin Fang changed into the attire of the top maid in the Wang Residence and accompanied Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo rode in the sedan sent by the palace through the west gate.

Along the way, high palace walls blocked her view. The solemn grandeur of the surroundings made her feel oppressed.

Arriving at the entry of Jingren Palace, Wei Ruo stepped down from the sedan accompanied by Xiumei and Lin Fang, entering the palace.

In the golden and resplendent main hall, Imperial Concubine Qi was sitting directly opposite the door on the Imperial Concubine’s couch.

She was elegant and roguish, like a peony that had bloomed and not yet withered, radiating arrogant magnificence.

As Wei Ruo entered the room, she paid her respects, “Your humble servant pays respect to the Imperial Concubine.”

“There’s no need for formalities.” Imperial Concubine Qi’s face lit up with a kind smile. “Queen Rui, please sit.”

“Thank you, Imperial Concubine,” Wei Ruo replied as she took her seat.

Imperial Concubine Qi looked at Wei Ruo with a full-face smile, merrily stating, “Queen Rui, you truly are an extraordinary woman. When you entered just now, I thought an ethereal fairy from the heavens had descended.”

“Imperial Concubine, you exaggerate. I have heard that the Imperial Concubine is the number one beauty in the Capital City,” Wei Ruo deflected.

“That was years ago, now I am old and yellow,” Imperial Concubine Qi said.

In my view, Imperial Concubine,’s charm has not diminished one bit. You are still the number one beauty in the Imperial City,” Wei Ruo sincerely complimented.

Seeing people, speak their words. Seeing ghosts, speak ghost words. Under such circumstances, Wei Ruo had no choice but to fan falsehoods.

Anyway, flattering is easy—saying some untrue sweet words, she had nothing to lose.

“Queen Rui, your words are making me blush,” Imperial Concubine Qi said laughingly, “Speaking of it, the relationship between us is peculiar. Soon, your twin sister will marry my Hengheng. You will be sisters and sister-in-law at the same time. In the future, the two of you will help and support one another, it will be a story worth telling.”

Hearing this, Wei Ruo began to understand Imperial Concubine Qi meaning.

Imperial Concubine Qi was trying to convince Rui Wang to help Yujing Wang.

Rui Wang is physically weak but enjoys the emperor’s favor. If he helps Yujing Wang, it would be a huge help for Yujing Wang too.

Wei Ruo lightly laughed and did not give a clear response but took the opportunity to ask a question that had troubled her for a long time: “Your humble servant is dull, I have never understood how my sister and I have such good fortune to simultaneously receive the extensive love of Prince Rui and Prince Yu.”

The question Wei Ruo really wanted to ask was, why did Qi Gui Fei choose Wei Qingwan to be Yu Wang’s concubine?

Qi Gui Fei replied with a smile, “Both of you sisters are blessed. Your ‘Eight Characters’ normally would not be too good for the average person. Yet according to the Daoist Qianyuan, it’s excellent for and especially compatible with King Rui. It perfectly neutralizes the doom in King Rui’s fate and turn his fate around for the better.”

Weir laughed, knowing those words to be false. Her own ‘Eight Characters’ were false, and her second brother’s ill health and crisis were false too. It was very likely that the second brother used these as a strategy to get her into Rui Wangfu.

Qi Guifei continued, “As for your sister, she is the one with the best ‘Eight Characters’ among many noble girls. She is a rare one with rich and noble fate and is very well matched with my Hengheng.”

Weir squinted her eyes slightly, sensing something was off.

How did Wei Qingwan’s ‘Eight Characters’ end up in Qi Guifei’s hands? Did the Wei family provide it or did Qi Zhen give it?

If it was Qi Zhen, Wei Ruo would not be too surprised.

Qi Zhen is a philanderer. He has feelings for Wei Qingwan but is certainly not exclusive. Wei Ruo knew this.

Qi Zhen is good to the women he has had relationships with, but did not want to take responsibility.

So when Wei Qingwan was determined to marry him, he might have deliberately pushed Wei Qingwan away.

Moreover, with his smooth and persuasive words, he had the ability to coax Wei Qingwan, who is in love, into thinking that he had no choice but to do this for her good.

She just didn’t know which ‘Eight Characters’ of Wei Qingwan they had given Qi Guifei.

Weir responded with a mild smile, “So that’s how it is. It is really a blessing for my sister and I.”

Qi Guifei said, “In the future, you and your sister will both be daughters-in-law of the royal family. You should support each other, advance and retreat together, and share honors and disgraces together. How does Queen Rui feel about this?”
