Apart from Ruyi's death with hatred, the most heartbreaking thing is what happened to Lian Xin. Did Lian Xin betray the queen?
The answer is yes. In "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", the maid Lian Xin was pushed out by her master and became a tool. Lian Xin harbored a grudge against the queen because of her master-servant relationship After being sent to have dinner with the eunuch Wang Qin, I have already done everything. Let me briefly talk about my views:
First, Lian Xin is actually very kind and loyal, but under her I overheard Jia Guiren telling the Empress that she would send a palace maid to win over Wang Qin. When she was trying to find out about the Emperor, Su Lian encouraged Lian Xin to go. In the end, the Queen decided to let Lian Xin go, especially when Lian Xin begged the Queen not to let her go. At that time, the queen and the others actually used her own family to threaten her, and Lian Xin had to agree. At this moment, Lian Xin was disheartened and hated the queen so much that she laid the groundwork for betraying the queen in the future.
When he was canceled by the palace servants and mistreated by Wang Qin, he couldn't bear it anymore and chose to jump into the river. Fortunately, he was rescued by Ruyi. After being rescued, he expressed his willingness to be loyal to Ruyi, and then used Wang Qin's help. This is also proved by Ruyi's clearing her grievances.
Second, there are three hints about Lianxin betraying the queen:
The death of Prince Duanhui was the result of Lianxin helping Hailan, because Hailan knew that the queen had harmed Ruyi. It was to avenge her and let the queen experience the sadness of losing her beloved son. It is not clearly stated in the play, but we can learn from several details of Lian Xin's treatment of her second elder brother.
When the Queen gave birth to her seventh prince, Lian Xin stopped the palace people from inviting the Emperor and the Queen Mother, which was obviously to take revenge on the Queen. If the Queen really died in childbirth at this time, Lian Xin would be happier than anyone else. .
In the latest plot, when the queen fell into the water, Lian Xin clearly saw the queen struggling in the water, but she remained indifferent and did not call anyone else to rescue her.
To sum up, Lian Xin really betrayed the Queen, but it was the Queen’s own fault. If she had insisted on letting Su Lian marry Wang Qin, the outcome might have been really different. The little guy was at the critical moment. It will give the main character a fatal blow.
