Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Wei Yanwan's plan is risky, but it is indeed the best way to break the deadlock.

But Lan Cui still couldn't suppress the panic and fear in her heart, "Yan Wan, I know what you said is a good idea, but I'm afraid...

What if Concubine Yu thinks I have bad intentions and doesn't trust me?

What if they think I am a lewd and dissolute person who seduced the guards?

Wouldn't that mean I'm like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, dying even faster?"

Wei Yanwan was also worried when she saw her friend being so hesitant.

But unlike Lan Cui who is cowardly and timid, Wei Yanwan is a very bold and daring person by nature.

"Lan Cui, if you don't take a gamble, you'll be doomed.

Do you really intend to follow Liu's words and murder the Fifth Prince? You must know what the fate of a servant who betrays his master is.

Even if you are innocent and not discovered by Concubine Yu, will Liu promise to let you go? In order to eliminate the trouble forever, she will definitely take action against you.

Lan Cui, you can't hesitate any longer."

With Wei Yanwan's encouragement, Lan Cui finally decided to confess to Concubine Yu.

Holding the powder in her pocket, she walked towards the Yanxi Palace step by step with determination.

Unfortunately, what Lan Cui didn't expect was that just as she arrived at the Yanx Palace and before she had the chance to confess something to Concubine Yu, Concubine Cheng happened to arrive.

One step slow and the whole game is lost.

Lan Cui was indeed wronged.

Ruyi quickly thought about the connection between several things, and suddenly she seemed to understand something...

Ruyi's cold eyes fell on Wei Yanwan, "Yanwan, do you dare to repeat what you just said in front of the emperor and serve as a witness?

If you are willing, I promise you that I will do my best to clear Lan Cui's name."

A wave of warmth crept into Wei Yanwan's heart. She couldn't help but tremble and nodded firmly, "As long as Lan Cui can be saved, I am willing to be the witness!"

As soon as the emperor came back from the morning court, he learned that Ruyi had been waiting in the side room of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity for a long time.

Ruyi told the emperor the results of her investigation one by one.

A few days ago, Lan Cui asked a familiar guard to buy a pearl flower from outside the palace. When the two of them tried on the pearl flower, they were discovered by Liu Da Ying.

Liu Da Ying insisted that the two of them were secretly in collusion, and using this as a handle she gave Lan Cui a bag of rice powder and asked her to poison the Fifth Prince.

Lan Cui was timid and stupid but loyal. She kept the thing in her sleeve and did not take any action.

In the evening, Concubine Cheng presented an inkstone to the Fifth Prince. Lan Cui happened to be by his side, so she spent a long time grinding ink for the Fifth Prince.

The smell of the rice bag on Lan Cui's body was inhaled by the Fifth Prince, causing him to show symptoms of poisoning.

When Lan Cui supported Yongqi, the distance between them shortened and the smell of the rice bag on Lan Cui became stronger, which led to Yongqi's fainting.

Ruyi placed the rice bag powder she found in Liu Da Ying's bedroom on the table as physical evidence.

Wei Yanwan and Jiang Yubin were also asked to serve as witnesses.

The evidence was complete, and when Liu Da Ying was taken to the Yangxin Palace, her face was pale.

But she still did not give up, and even insisted that she saw Concubine Yu and Concubine Hui arguing and had a wrong idea for a moment, so she wanted to teach Concubine Yu a lesson on behalf of Concubine Hui.

The emperor was furious and ordered that Liu Da Ying be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.

Unexpectedly, Liu Da Ying secretly hid poison in her mouth and committed suicide by taking poison in the Yangxin Palace in front of the emperor.

The emperor was furious, thinking that Liu agreed to this move and thus showed contempt for the imperial power, and he ordered her body to be dragged out and crushed to ashes.

As for Concubine Hui, she was naturally implicated because she failed to discipline her subordinates, and was called to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor to be reprimanded in person.

Concubine Hui made a scene and felt aggrieved, crying and saying that she had no idea.

The emperor took this into consideration and only fined her her monthly salary, gave her a verbal admonition and asked her to behave herself. He did not impose any other punishment.

As for Lan Cui, although Ruyi tried her best to plead, trying to reduce her fault and save her life.

But the emperor felt that whether this matter was intentional or unintentional, it still hurt the prince.

Moreover, the secret exchange between the palace maid and the guard was suspected of defilement in the palace. In the end, the emperor was only willing to keep Lan Cui's body intact and issued an order to give her a white silk.

As for the guard Zhao Jiuxiao, who was very close to her, he was dismissed from his post and immediately expelled from the palace.

No matter how Ruyi and Wei Yanwan pleaded, the emperor remained indifferent.

Wei Yanwan was devastated and blamed herself for not being able to save Lan Cui. Chunchan could only comfort her, saying that at least Lan Cui's reputation was restored in the end.

At this time, Jinzhong chased out from the Yangxin Palace.

He watched the whole process and naturally knew what Wei Yanwan was sad about.

Jinzhong stopped Wei Yanwan and whispered to her that he could help her enter the Ministry of Punishment to see Lan Cui for the last time to preserve their sisterhood.

Although Wei Yanwan didn't know why Jinzhong was willing to take the initiative to show kindness to her and do her a favor, she was still very grateful.

In this way, Wei Yanwan and Chunchan disguised themselves as eunuchs and sneaked into the Ministry of Punishment with Jinzhong.

Lan Cui was already covered in bruises from the torture.

Her sad and desperate look still left a deep impression on Wei Yanwan after such a long time.

Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she seemed to still remember Lan Cui's bloody, pale and scary face before she died.

Ruyi ordered Sanbao to secretly collect Lan Cui's body, and spent money to find a cemetery with excellent feng shui in the suburbs of Beijing, and buried her decently.

Afterwards, he sent Wei Yanwan a sum of money as a token of consolation and regret.

Wei Yanwan knew that the root cause of this matter was not Ruyi's fault.

As the Imperial Noble Consort, she has tried her best to find out the truth and seek justice for Lan Cui.

But in the eyes of the emperor, even if a slave is innocent, she should pay the price of her life for the harm to her master's body.

In the Forbidden City, human life is worthless.

There is no right or wrong, there is only the supremacy of imperial power.

A seed of hatred and rebellion has been quietly planted in Wei Yanwan's heart.

Jingyang Palace.

Qin Sang was standing aside, quietly watching Concubine Cheng holding a pair of exquisite silver scissors, neatly and quickly trimming the extra branches in the potted plants.

Yan Cao walked in quickly from outside the house, "My Lord, the news from the Yangxin Palace is that Liu promised to commit suicide in front of the emperor, and Hui Fei was reprimanded and sentenced to death with Lan Cui Bai Ling.

The emperor praised the imperial concubine for her decisiveness and seemed to trust her even more.

As for Concubine Yu, she was just as stupid as her name suggested. Even when the Fifth Prince was poisoned, she still had no grudge against the Imperial Noble Concubine.

This time we made a mistake.”

Concubine Cheng raised the corners of her lips, and her slender, jade-white fingers carefully held a plump and beautiful flower bud, gently stroking it.

“I was just testing her, how could it be a mistake?

If she could really be tricked by me so easily, then she is not worthy of being my opponent."

This incident was actually planned by Concubine Cheng, who gave it to Ruyi as a "greeting gift".
