Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Episode 42
S1 E42:
The empress dowager summons Ruyi and warns her not to get herself into trouble like her aunt did. The empress dowager recommends Su Luyun, while objecting to Ruyi's promotion. But the emperor is no longer a new emperor on the throne. He disregards the empress dowager's objections and promotes Ruyi to become Imperial Noble Consort. He also sends Naquin, Empress Dowager's minister from the previous council, to the front line to fight Slob Dpon. The crown prince of Joseon ascends the throne and is about to arrive in the capital to visit the emperor. Jin Yuyan weeps in joy because she can finally see the crown prince again after so many years. Unknown to her, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he forced his wife into suicide. The emperor wants him escorted to the capital to be dealt with in person. Yanwan suffers intense humiliation from Jin Yuyan but is helpless. Eunuch Jinzhong tells her that the king of Joseon will be escorted to the capital soon. If Jin Yuyan finds out the truth before she gives birth, it may harm her. Yanwan keeps this in mind. She has fallen out of favor long ago, so when the emperor is away, she lures Ling Yunche to her palace and secretly drugs him, hoping to have a baby with him. Ling Yunche turns her down. Yanwan's plan fails. She suspects that Ling Yunche likes someone else, and feels very sad.
