Chapter 117 Extra - Sky Screen Cinema Complete

Many people heard Yinzhi's words and looked up thoughtfully at Xin Yan, who looked extremely panicked in the sky.

Is it revenge by those in a lower position?

"It really was you, Ruyi! You're the one who ruined me!"

Before they could think for long, A'Ruo on the sky suddenly erupted, breaking free from her restraints and rushing forward to grab Ruyi's hair. Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines—that strength!

But then, another wave of exhilaration washed over me!

They were relieved that Ruyi was unhappy; they could finally breathe a sigh of relief after all the pent-up frustration they had endured. They were glad to finally see Ruyi's expression change; otherwise, just seeing her demoted and her family exiled—such severe punishments in the conventional sense—was unsatisfying. But Ruyi's coldness and self-absorption, coupled with a lack of genuine pain and change, left them feeling unsatisfied.

Seeing A'Ruo "ruthlessly strike," and Ruyi "pale with fright," everyone finally realized what had happened. Indeed, with someone like Ruyi, it was already a miracle she didn't mentally corrupt them; mental attacks were completely ineffective against her—it was a physical attack that would do the trick!

After much difficulty, the people in Changchun Palace managed to separate Ruyi and A'ruo. Fucha Langhua frowned and questioned, "Xinyan, you've changed your story repeatedly. Which one is the truth? You must not speak recklessly before the Emperor!"

“This servant is not lying. It was Consort Nara who threatened this servant and told me to put the cinnabar in, saying it was to teach Consort Shen a lesson. This servant really did not know that cinnabar was used to harm the imperial heir.”

"You're lying!" Ruyi exclaimed, her face filled with shock and pain. "Your Majesty, I didn't."

"Wow, Ruyi's acting is really good."

Yin couldn't help but sigh, Ruyi's emotions were much more genuine now than when she framed A'Ruo. "Did she know the truth was about to be revealed, so her acting skills really came out on point?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "She might really be feeling this way. After all, given Ruyi's way of thinking, how could a palace maid betray her mistress?"

Because of what Yinzhi said earlier, and Ruyi's reaction when A'ruo was conferred her title, everyone could understand what Yinzhi was saying.

How absurd! Ruyi wasn't saddened by her maternal clan's demotion, she was briefly saddened by her own rank reduction, but the betrayal of her servants left her with a lingering resentment. Just like her view of armor as a symbol of dignity, she could never grasp the essentials and was forever living in her own world.

"A fellow Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) and his wife," Yin Zhi shook his head and sighed, "Now that I think about the name Ruyi, I have a different feeling. Ruyi always lived in her seemingly perfect world, always thinking that she was different from others, that she was superior to others, that's how she lived."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement. The Empress Dowager was truly a cultured person; she understood Ruyi quite well, knowing so much meaning in a single name.

I wonder when Ruyi's seemingly perfect dream will end?

"Your Majesty, I am good friends with Hailan, the teacher at the girls' school. After Consort Nara threatened me, I felt uneasy and told Hailan about it. Because I was afraid that Consort Nara would continue to threaten me into doing other things, I secretly placed one of Consort Nara's golden nail guards with her!"

Upon hearing the name "Hailan," Yinzhi and Yinzhen exchanged a smile: "Indeed."

All of Tianmu's subsequent words indicated that Hailan was the one who first reported him.

Yinzhi smiled and looked at Yintang: "Ninth Brother, what do you say? Did Fourth Brother and I win this round?"

Yinzhen was displeased. It was one thing for the Eighth Prince to win, but the Fourth Prince had also won. However, he couldn't deny it. As the one who initiated the bet and also the one who kept the stakes, Yinzhen angrily pushed everything over.

"Here you go, you win."

Yinzhi's smile deepened as he looked at the two large trays of jade pendants and gold and silver that were being pushed over, and joked, "Fourth Brother, we're really rich now."

"yes."

Yinzhen nodded; he hadn't expected to make a profit in the end. One could only say that as Hongli's father, he did have some luck.

Only a father truly understands his son! He was guessing Ruyi's thoughts, but he was also guessing Hongli's!

As for Yinzhi, he completely understands him. He and his eighth brother are on the same wavelength. That's why he's called his good brother.

Thinking of this, all of Yinzhen's pent-up frustration since the broadcast on the screen dissipated.

Although everyone else lost face, at least he got some financial consolation! And he confirmed his good friend's sincerity! It was a good deal, not a bad deal at all!

Yinzhen was basking in the warmth of spring, his face radiant! The other brothers standing nearby couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness; so what if he guessed right? The fourth prince was being far too smug.

After being exposed, Ruyi revealed her pregnancy, but the imperial physician diagnosed her without any signs of pregnancy. Ruyi abruptly stood up, her voice trembling with urgency, "Your Majesty, I am clearly almost two months pregnant, how can there be no signs of pregnancy?"

"Ruyi! You don't believe the imperial physician, so how did you know you were pregnant?"

“I did not say I did not believe the imperial physicians, but not every imperial physician is conscientious,” Ruyi said without backing down. “I asked Imperial Physician Jiang Yubin from the Imperial Hospital to examine me.”

Fucha Langhua looked at Ruyi with the same disdain as if she were a fool, so she naturally told her the truth: "Ruyi, Jiang Yubin is a veterinarian who used to take care of the Emperor's beloved pets, have you forgotten?"

"Pfft"

Everyone inside and outside the canopy couldn't help but laugh. No one was jealous of Yinzhen and Yinsi anymore; they'd already found the "veterinarian" joke funny before. But seeing Fucha Langhua bring it up directly only made it funnier.

"Although I don't know what happened with Ruyi's pregnancy, it makes perfect sense that she never found out that Jiang Yubin was a veterinarian."

Yin suppressed a laugh, not really caring how Ruyi faked her pregnancy; he was just watching the spectacle.

"Ulanara Ruyi, for plotting against the imperial heir, has been deposed and reduced to commoner status, and banished to the Cold Palace!"

With a single sentence from Hongli, Ruyi's fate was sealed.

While everyone was delighted by this, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, with their increased tolerance for drama, they wouldn't be able to see Ruyi's antics anymore, which was quite disappointing.

Finally, from Ruyi's perspective in the Cold Palace, we learn about the growth of the Qing Dynasty, the brilliance of women, and Hongli's early abdication.

After Ruyi, who was as withered as a dead tree, murmured "over the wall and on horseback" before dying in the Cold Palace, the curtain fell completely.

"It's over..."

Yinzhi's words were filled with endless regret and melancholy. Although he was once so angry with Ruyi that he also truly glimpsed a corner of the prosperous Qing Dynasty through Ruyi's perspective.

Like a woman holding a pipa, half-concealing her face, the more she does this, the more it piques people's curiosity and makes them want to know more.

They were all very curious and wanted to know how Emperor Yongzheng died, how Ruyi's pregnancy was fabricated, what Hongli did, and where he went after his abdication.

Why can't we only choose one perspective?

Yin murmured to himself, and just then the darkened sky suddenly brightened again.

"This is?"

Everyone looked up in confusion.

Yin Zhi couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that other deities know about our curiosity, so they are deliberately satisfying our desires?"

Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. After pondering for a while, Kangxi instructed, "In that case, let's start looking at them one by one from tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."

As night fell, everyone temporarily set aside their doubts and left. Yinzhen noticed Yinsi's slightly grave expression and asked with concern, "Eighth Brother, what's wrong?"

Yinzhi shook his head and forced a smile. "It's nothing."

Could he say that seeing the unknown characters "孟*司*禩" gave him a strange premonition and a guilty conscience that he was up to no good?

Hopefully, he's overthinking it.

...

The premonition came true. Yinzhi stared blankly at the content on the sky, not understanding. Did the gods nowadays have such a perverse sense of humor?

After watching "The Perspective of the Four Heavenly Kings," they learned how Su Peisheng, Yunli, Yunhe, and Nian Gengyao, these four brilliant strategists, tricked each other into becoming allies, like a child's game, yet they succeeded. It was a meritorious act of supporting the emperor! How many ministers who witnessed this were not envious beyond recognition?

After watching "The Best Actress's Perspective from the Forbidden City," they saw how Empress Dowager Uya used her crying scenes to manipulate Emperor Yongzheng, ultimately taking him away in a "one-for-one" exchange.

After watching "Empresses in the Palace," a story about the previous generation without Hongli, the influence of the Empress Dowager's illness hasn't faded yet. Now, everyone sees Yinzhen as green with envy!

Yinzhen's face darkened, as if he were glowing green. Fine, fine, so they're all after him, aren't they? Who did he offend?

It's like having a thorn in my side, a fishbone stuck in my throat, I'm sitting on pins and needles! Is there anyone who can save him? Does this canopy really have to be put on? Can't we use someone else?
