Chapter 238 The Virtuous Consort Only Wants to Maintain Her Respect (3)
Bai Ruofu blushed, and her voice grew softer and softer towards the end, but she successfully ignited the fire in Wei Hanwen's heart!
Afu has agreed!
Bai Ruofu then took out the embroidery she had prepared and gave it to Wei Hanwen, asking him to help her sell it.
Later, Wei Hanwen couldn't bear to sell any of them and kept them all, lying that he had sold them for a good price, and then continued to bring things to Bai Ruofu.
Seeing that Bai Ruofu accepted the item without any guilt, thinking it was money she had earned from selling her embroidery, Wei Hanwen couldn't help but smile.
As for the needles, thread, and fabric needed for embroidery, Bai Ruofu secretly brought them in by hiding them in her clothes at first, and later Wei Hanwen brought them to her.
With money to bribe officials, Bai Ruofu's food improved.
She also told Wei Hanwen to be loyal to the Empress and not to hide anything from her about the affairs of the concubines in the harem.
In Bai Ruofu's memory, the emperor trusted the empress as much as he trusted his first wife.
However, there are some things that, if the Empress is unaware of, could actually benefit others.
Wei Hanwen agreed.
He believed in Bai Ruofu.

Meanwhile, Xu Ruchu's life also became more comfortable.
She didn't rely on embroidery, because she couldn't do much embroidery while wearing armor.
Before she was sent to the Cold Palace, most of the embroidery in the palace was made by Bai Ruofu.
Sometimes, when Bai Ruofu had almost finished embroidering, Xu Ruchu would take it and finish it off, and would even embroider it in front of others, as if it were her doing.
Young ladies from well-to-do families learn embroidery from a young age, and Xu Ruchu's embroidery would be quite good if she did it herself. But…
She's the kind of person who even wears protective gear to bed!
Where would I find the time to do all this?
Later, someone pointed out that Xu Ruchu's embroidery was very similar to Bai Ruofu's. Xu Ruchu proudly pouted her red lips and said, "She was my palace maid, by my side, and naturally she resembled me because of what she saw and heard."
-
In short, it is impossible for Xu Ruchu to improve her life on her own.
But she felt she was incredibly charming; otherwise, why would Ling Chuan, the guard who protected the Cold Palace, help her?
They not only gave her clothes, but also helped to make arrangements and improve her meals.
Therefore, Xu Ruchu's gaze towards Ling Chuan was filled with longing...
-
Bai Ruofu could tell that Ling Chuan wasn't helping Xu Ruchu at all.
Instead, the emperor knew that Xu Ruchu was innocent, so he secretly sent someone to tell Ling Chuan to take good care of Xu Ruchu.
Unexpectedly, neither Ling Chuan nor Xu Ruchu remembered the emperor's kindness; judging from their expressions, it seemed as if they were about to fall for each other.
Bai Ruofu didn't care what they did, as long as they didn't try to harm her.
The gazes between Xu Ruchu and Ling Chuan grew increasingly tender.
Even in the dead of night, they would sit back to back, separated by the gates of the Cold Palace, and watch the night view together.
Xu Ruchu said that the feelings between Ling Chuan and her were a bond that transcended romantic love.
Ordinary people wouldn't understand.
Bai Ruofu was immediately amused.
Those remarks became Bai Ruofu's source of amusement for nearly a month.
-
On New Year's Eve, the Cold Palace caught fire!
Xu Ruchu screamed Ling Chuan's name frantically.
"Ling Chuan! Ling Chuan! Come save me!"
Ling Chuan opened the door directly, not even glancing at the other concubines in the other rooms, and rushed in to rescue Xu Ruchu.
The fire in Xu Ruchu's room wasn't large; she could have easily escaped.
but.
She just sat on the bed without moving.
When Ling Chuan arrived, she was still pouting her red lips and saying, "Guard Ling~ I can't run anymore~~~"
Ling Chuan picked her up and rushed out.
Xu Ruchu leaned against him, listening to his heartbeat, a look of enjoyment on her face.
