I just want to live a happy life

After hearing the emperor's words, the queen felt much better.

But it is impossible to let Ruyi go just like that. The Queen Mother is in collusion with Ruyi. If anyone dares to plot against her daughter, she will make her pay the price.

Soon, the concubines who were on the eastern tour learned that Ruyi had been demoted again. This time it was even more severe than the last time. She was now just a concubine.

Shen Guiren was very happy about this.

Because of the cinnabar incident, Jin Yuyan was the one who killed the royal heir, and Concubine Shen A Ruo did nothing. Moreover, Ruyi's suspicion has never been cleared, and the emperor has no reason to punish her, so she has always been a concubine.

Now the emperor no longer summoned her to sleep with him. Although she was no longer favored, her father was still doing a good job as an official and would send her money regularly, so Concubine Shen was still living a good life.

But for some reason, every time Concubine Shen met Ruyi, she couldn't help but be sarcastic. She would feel very uncomfortable if she didn't say a few words to Ruyi.

Just like this time, when she learned that Ruyi was now only a concubine, she immediately went to Ruyi and saw Ruyi kneeling there as punishment. She couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, isn't this the high and mighty Empress Xian? Oh, no, she is now a concubine, but her rank is lower than mine."

Ruyi suppressed her anger and said nothing.

But A Ruo did not intend to let her go. She kicked Ruyi and cursed: "You are dumb, don't you know how to pay respect to me, the noble lady Shen."

Ruyi looked at A Ruo angrily: "No matter what, I was your master before, how could you treat me like this."

When talking about this, A Ruo became even angrier. The years when she worked for Ruyi were the days she least wanted to recall, and she actually dared to say such things.

So, A'ruo started kicking and beating Ruyi again until Ruyi lay there unable to move, with fear in her eyes. Only then did A'ruo feel happy.

Even if Ruyi was her master before, so what? Now she is still under her feet and can't get up.

Too lazy to deal with this confused person anymore, A Ruo snorted coldly and walked away.

Ruyi crawled on the spot for a while, then knelt down. She now hated A Ruo and the Queen who had caused her to become like this.

Just wait for her, she will definitely retaliate, she won't suffer any loss.

After the Queen decided to take revenge on the Queen Mother, she began to plan.

The Fucha family has a profound heritage. They entered the country with the ancestors of the Aisin-Gioro clan, so there are still many secret medicines from previous dynasties in the family.

Now is the time for the eastern tour, so it is easy to make trouble. If we return to the palace, the Cining Palace is the empress dowager's territory, so it will be difficult to make trouble.

So the Queen took action without any hesitation and placed someone next to the Queen Mother to be in charge of her diet. Of course, the food that the Queen Mother ate was prepared by someone she trusted, and the person she placed there could not do that.

But it is still okay to do some scraps and do it when others are slacking off.

Just like that, the secret medicine of the previous dynasty that the Queen carefully selected entered the Empress Dowager's body. There are so many poisons in this world, and many of them cannot be detected, even by the most skilled imperial physicians.

So the Queen Mother had no idea that she was poisoned.

This poison will not relapse immediately, but will first suck away the empress dowager's spirit, energy, and blood. After all these are consumed, it will be difficult for the empress dowager to survive.

The queen felt no guilt at all about this.

Because of Princess Jingse's marriage, this eastern tour came to an end. After all, we have to return to Beijing to prepare for Princess Jingse's wedding.

On the way back, we stopped to rest for a while.

After staying on the boat for a long time, the queen came out for a walk.

Looking at the bright stars in the sky, the queen looked for a long time unconsciously. In the past, when she was not busy managing the affairs of the harem, trying every means to have another prince, and being exhausted every day because of some troubles, she had not seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time.

Su Lian accompanied the Queen out. She originally thought that the Queen would return to the boat after a while, but after such a long time, the Queen still had no intention of going back. But now it was time to take the medicine.

The queen has been taking medicine all the time as her health has not been very good.

There was no other choice, Su Lian had to go get the medicine. She would go and come back quickly, so nothing should go wrong.

But as soon as Su Lian left, something happened to the Queen.

It was dark now, and the queen couldn't see her feet clearly, so she fell into the water just like in the original plot. However, there was a slight difference. In the original plot, the queen stepped on the oil and slipped into the water.

But this time she missed a step and fell into the water.

No one knew what happened, but after the queen fell into the water, no guard came to rescue her, leaving her floundering in the water.

At this moment, Concubine Hui came out of a boat in the distance. She heard the Queen's voice and looked up. It turned out that the Queen was struggling in the water.

Concubine Hui hid in the shadows and watched coldly, with no intention of saving her at all.

The queen in the water had no strength to struggle and had fainted in the water. She was about to fall into the water. At this time, the guards finally heard the noise and came to rescue the queen.

After the queen was rescued, the emperor and concubines also learned the news.

Such a big thing happened, of course I have to come and see it.

The imperial physician was taking the queen's pulse, and the concubines were waiting outside.

Soon, the imperial physician came out and said that the Queen's condition was very bad. The Queen's health was not good to begin with, and with Princess Jingse marrying far away, and falling into the water, even a body of iron could not hold on.

The Queen doesn't have much time left.

Upon hearing such bad news, the emperor's face looked very ugly. He was silent for a long time and only instructed the imperial physician to take good care of the queen and make sure she lived longer.

Although the concubines all looked unhappy about this matter, they were not upset in their hearts and did not feel sad at all.

The happiest person would be Ruyi.

A long time ago, the queen took away her Ruyi and took the position of legitimate wife that originally belonged to her. Because of the queen, she became a concubine.

Also, because the queen put linglingxiang in her bracelet, she was unable to get pregnant for many years.

It was already unfair enough for her to be Concubine Xian before, but now she has become a small concubine because of the Queen.

This shows how cruel the queen is.

Now the queen has finally received her retribution and is about to die. How can she not be happy?

Only after the queen died did she have the opportunity to move up.

Concubine Hui was born into a bondservant family, Concubine Ling was born into a palace maid family, and Concubine Chun had no chance of that, so she was the only one in the harem who could take the position of empress. When she thought of this, her heart was burning with excitement.
