I just want to live a happy life

What was she thinking before? Yonglian was her biological son, whom she gave birth to with great difficulty. How could she give up on him so easily just because he had asthma?

If he knew that his biological mother had abandoned him because of his illness, I wonder how sad he would be.

Whenever she thought of this, her heart ached and she wished she could be better to Yonglian.

Fortunately, she didn't wake up at the latest. As long as Yonglian can survive this period of time, his body will recover to be almost the same as usual, and it will not affect his lifespan.

After Su Xin massaged the queen's shoulders, she talked about what happened yesterday: "Your Majesty, yesterday Concubine Mei discovered that Concubine Hai had visited Concubine Ulanara in the cold palace many times, and she was punished to kneel in the imperial garden for three hours."

The queen frowned. This Concubine Mei was really presumptuous. She had no right to punish concubines, but she dared to do that.

"Su Xin, go and tell her that I will fine Meipin half a year's salary and make her copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times."

"And Lady Hai, she has been kneeling for such a long time, I think her knee must be injured. I have some excellent golden wound medicine here, please have someone send it to her."

Su Xin: “Yes.”

When Concubine Mei heard the punishment given to her by the Empress, she was naturally indignant. In her opinion, Ruyi was the murderer of her child, and Concubine Hai was an accomplice. She punished Concubine Hai to avenge her child, and she had done nothing wrong.

But she didn't have the courage to disobey the Empress' order.

But while blaming the Queen, she hated Ruyi and Hailan even more.

After being punished by the Queen, Concubine Mei temporarily calmed down and stopped making trouble.

As for Hailan, she knelt in the rain for so long that she developed a high fever, and her knees were red and swollen so she couldn't walk easily. So she stayed at home to recuperate under the advice of the imperial physician.

Feeling very guilty for not saving him in time, Concubine Chun gave Hai Lan many things. Some of the gifts sent by Concubine Chun could be sold. The silver she got from the sales made Hai Lan feel temporarily relieved. She could use the silver for a while, and she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

The Queen put all her attention on taking care of Yonglian. Concubine Hui was still praying for a child as devoutly as usual, and Concubine Jia was taking care of her pregnancy.

For a while, there was no quarreling or vying for favor in the harem, but instead there was a temporary calm.

The emperor was naturally satisfied with this. The harem was his place to rest and relax. If he had to deal with the problems between them after a busy day in the previous court, he would be extremely annoyed.

The empress was worthy of being chosen by the late emperor. She was capable. Considering that he had been feeling comfortable during this period, the emperor went to Changchun Palace to visit the empress several more times.

Of course, he also did not forget Yonglian and Jingse. He still cared very much about his legitimate sons and daughters. As a result, the relationship between the emperor and the queen improved a lot.

After seeing the Queen, the Emperor went to Noble Concubine Hui, then Concubine Chun, and then Noble Lady Jia.

He visited all the places in the harem that he could remember.

After that, he devoted himself to dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty.

There are only a few concubines in the harem, and the emperor is a beauty lover. Naturally, he gets a little bored after visiting them so many times.

At this time, the Queen Mother also seized the opportunity and recommended two women to the Emperor, one was Lu Muping and the other was Yi Huan.

Lu Muping's appearance was not as good as Yihuan's, so after Lu Muping had slept with the emperor for a few days, she was named Concubine Qing by the emperor, and he forgot about her and only favored Yihuan.

Yihuan was very beautiful, with a kind of cold and detached beauty, and she was also very infatuated with him, which simply satisfied the emperor's machismo and his very confident heart.

As expected, he is a wise and powerful emperor, and he is so lovable.

Ruyi is no longer by the emperor's side, and his illness is getting better and better. When he thinks of her now, his feelings for her are not as strong as they were at the beginning.

When he thought back on it now, the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He had lived in the Old Summer Palace since he was a child, and was not taken back to the palace by the late emperor until he was in his teens. He knew that the late emperor was not feeling guilty about his indifference to him for so many years.

Instead, the late emperor realized that he only had three princes. The third prince was stupid and had long been excluded by the late emperor, while the fifth prince was weak and loved to play, so he became the late emperor's only choice.

It was only when he arrived at the palace that he met Qingying, who had not yet changed her name to Ruyi. At that time, they could no longer be considered childhood sweethearts.

But somehow, he believed in the story of childhood sweethearts so much that he later chose Qingying as his wife. If the empress at that time, Qingying's aunt, had not been imprisoned by the previous emperor, Qingying might have really become his empress.

Although Qingying was born into a Manchu noble family like the Ulanara clan, her father was mediocre in ability and only inherited the family's fourth-rank assistant commander position, which was far less help than what the Fucha clan brought him.

But he was clear about Qingying's character. She was not suitable to be a queen at all. Now he was very glad that Qingying did not become his queen.

He was confused at that time. What about Qingying? The rumor about childhood sweethearts came from Jingren Palace. Did her aunt say that on purpose to make him have feelings for Qingying?

If the Third Prince is useless, she can also use this opportunity to make Qingying her wife.

Did Qingying know about this plot? Or did she acquiesce?

If this is true, then he really has to doubt Qingying's feelings for him.

In addition, the children of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi were killed because of cinnabar. All the evidence pointed to Ruyi, and there was also a eunuch who died to prove that the evidence he provided was true.

But Ruyi had no way to defend herself, and until now he had not found any evidence that Ruyi was framed.

He was a suspicious person to begin with, and based on the above reasons, he asked people to investigate. Although he did not find any evidence that she was falsely accused and sent to the cold palace, he did find out some things.

It turns out that Ruyi is not as indifferent as he imagined. Although she seems to be noncompetitive and says that she doesn't care, she actually gets all the benefits.

Moreover, she was very bad at managing her subordinates, and he now understood why A Ruo would betray her.

Knowing her true nature, some people began to believe that she was the one who killed Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi's children.

As he became more sober, he realized that his feelings for Ruyi were getting weaker and weaker because of her inconsistency. Before, when Ruyi took the handkerchiefs she made in the cold palace to sell, he would take a look at them, but now he no longer cares about these trivial matters.

He was clear-headed and did not fear Yihuan just because she was the empress dowager's person. Isn't this a joke? She was the emperor. How could such a powerful man like him be afraid of the empress dowager?

Why couldn't he figure it out before? The Queen Mother was the easiest person to deal with. Not to mention her daughter who was far away in Junggar, there was also Princess Hengti who she raised outside the palace, and Hongyan who inherited the title of Prince Guo. Her children were all her weaknesses.

So this time, he did not give Yihuan the contraceptive pill.
