Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Back at the palace, Yun Yuxi was exhausted after a day of running around. She fell into a deep sleep after returning to her room. Yan Wuque looked at her quiet face, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He walked forward slowly, gently kissed Yun Yuxi on the forehead, then silently pushed the wheelchair out of the room and returned to the study.

At the same time, in another part of the palace, in Shuiyunju, Luo Tianyi was drinking bowl after bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, with a look of joy on her face. She was secretly thinking: "Hong'er, tomorrow we will go to pay respects to that bitch Yun Yuxi, and by the way, tell the other women in the palace that this concubine is pregnant! This is the prince's eldest son, I want to see if the prince will feel sorry for this child!" Luo Tianyi said proudly, as if she had seen the days when she would be honored by her son in the future.

However, the maidservant Hong'er beside her worriedly advised: "My Lady Concubine, please listen to my advice. The Concubine is still young, and I heard that the fetus will not be stable until three months later. At this critical moment, if the concubines in the other courtyards know about this, I am afraid they will be jealous and may even harm the Concubine. It is better for you to wait for a while, and it will not be too late to humiliate them after the fetus is stable."

Hong'er's mind was very clear at this time, but unfortunately, she did not meet a wise master. Luo Tianyi did not listen to her advice at all, and only thought about how to show off her pregnancy, completely ignoring the potential dangers. Hong'er's worries were not redundant. The fights between women in the palace were often cruel and ruthless, especially when it came to offspring and status.

Early in the morning, Yun Yuxi asked the butler to arrange a carriage. Unexpectedly, the carriage had been prepared in advance. Lingyi acted as the coachman. Yun Yuxi took Yuelan in the carriage and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the Regent's Palace, Luo Tianyi dressed up carefully and came to the flower hall accompanied by Hong'er. However, there was no one in the flower hall. When Luo Tianyi was wondering, Banxia said, "Please have a good rest, Concubine. The princess has something to do today. You can go back to the palace by yourselves. There is no need to pay respects. Come back another day. The other concubines have returned to the courtyard early." After saying that, Banxia turned and walked towards Nuanyu Pavilion, leaving Luo Tianyi and Hong'er behind. Luo Tianyi was so angry that she took it out on Hong'er.

"Lingyi, send Yuelan and me to the vicinity of the prime minister's residence, and you quickly go to the house in the east of the city and bring back the prime minister's groom. Make him come here to apologize. Remember to ask someone to incite the people to come to the gate of the prime minister's residence to watch." Yun Yuxi's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire when he thought of the things in the house in the east of the city.

After a while, a man with a naked upper body and a whip on his back was seen kneeling at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The man shouted, "Please, Prime Minister, marry the Fourth Miss to me. The Fourth Miss and I are in love with each other, and the Fourth Miss is already my woman." The doorman, old man Li, was so scared that he hurried to ask the Prime Minister.

When the prime minister heard about this, he went to Qiuyun Pavilion in anger. Yun Ruyu happened to be next to Liu, so the prime minister went up and slapped her so hard that she saw stars. "Father, you..." Yun Ruyu cried out in grievance.

The prime minister suppressed his anger and told Liu about this matter. Liu's face turned even paler, so a group of people came to the gate of the mansion in a mighty manner.

Yun Yuxi saw the Prime Minister and his family coming to the door, so she smiled and got out of the carriage.

"Greetings, Princess." Everyone in the palace bowed. Yun Yuxi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Father, my daughter is back to see you. What's going on at the door of the Prime Minister's residence?" At this time, the Prime Minister wanted to cover Yun Yuxi's mouth.

Yun Yuxi looked at the colorful expressions on the faces of the prime minister's family, and she was secretly happy. She knew that her return this time would embarrass them, but she didn't care, as long as she could teach Yun Ruyu a lesson.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Yun Yuxi asked innocently.

The prime minister glared at her fiercely, but did not dare to get angry. He knew that Yun Yuxi was no longer the person who could be bullied at will, not to mention that she had a strong backer behind her - Regent King Yan Wuque.

"Father, why are you looking at me like that? Are you feeling unwell?" Yun Yuxi continued to pretend to be innocent.

The Prime Minister gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to come back suddenly."

"Oh, so that's how it is. My daughter also misses her father, so she came back to see him. By the way, where is my wife? Why didn't she come out to greet me?" Yun Yuxi deliberately mentioned Liu.

The prime minister's face became even uglier, and he didn't know how to answer Yun Yuxi's question. At this time, Liu finally couldn't help it, and rushed forward and said: "Yun Yuxi, don't be complacent! Do you think you can do whatever you want with the support of the regent? Let me tell you, we are not afraid of you!"

Yun Yuxi smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Madam, what do you mean by that? I just came home to visit you, how can I do whatever I want?"

Liu was choked by Yun Yuxi's words and could only stamp her feet in anger. The Prime Minister was silent on the side. He knew that today's events could not be reversed, and he could only find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Yun Yuxi walked up to the man kneeling in front of him and said loudly, "I am the Regent Princess. Why are you kneeling in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion today? And you are asking for forgiveness. If you are deliberately slandering the Prime Minister's Mansion today, don't blame me for being rude. Tell me what's going on."

"Yes. Princess, I am the groom of the Prime Minister's Mansion. A month ago, the Fourth Miss Yun Ruyu had an affair with me. But the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing my status and position, kicked me out of the mansion and separated me from the Fourth Miss. Please make the decision, Princess." The man replied.

"What are you saying, you little dog slave? How can I, the young lady of the prime minister's mansion, have anything to do with a man of your lowly status?" Yun Ruyu said angrily. She ran out angrily and wanted to kick the kneeling man. However, Lingyi flicked a small stone at random, and Yun Ruyu happened to fall on Yun Yuxi.

Yun Yuxi pretended to ask, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you? Please ask a doctor to check on you." Then a man in his fifties walked out of the crowd, claiming to be a doctor, and actually took Yun Ruyu's pulse.

Suddenly the doctor said with a serious face, "Congratulations. This is a slippery pulse."

Yun Ruyu asked in bewilderment, "What is slippery pulse?"

"Hey, sister. You are pregnant. A slippery pulse means a happy pulse!" Yun Yuxi said in shock.

When Yun Ruyu heard this, she fainted from shock.
