Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Jinzhong hid in the shadows, waiting for Empress Fucha's answer.

Empress Fucha stared at Su Lian and said, "As the Empress, I order you not to spread any rumors about Yan Wan in Yong Cong's affairs!"

Su Lian's eyes were red: "My queen! That's the Seventh Prince!"

Empress Fucha closed her eyes, almost unable to breathe due to grief and fear, but she still held on and brought Su Lian to talk alone, just in case Su Lian would act on her own again:

"Su Lian, listen to me. If you dare to act on your own again, I will live with you for the rest of my life..."

Su Lian saw that she was so angry that her eyes were red and blood was not flowing. She also saw that she opened her mouth to say something decisive, but paused several times. She felt a pain in her heart and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I won't tell you! I promise to listen to you! Please... please take care of yourself!"

Seeing that she had really listened, Empress Fucha stumbled and fell to the main seat. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of someone standing at the door. She was startled and asked, "Who?"

Jinzhong walked in quickly and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I know a lot of eunuchs and maids in the palace, and I know a lot of gossip. I want to ask you, do you want me to help you find out something?"

Su Lian's eyes lit up: "My queen, Jinzhong is famous for his torture skills! There is no one among those young palace maids and eunuchs who is not afraid of him!"

Empress Fucha did not answer Su Lian, but stared at him closely: "Jinzhong, I like Yanwan very much."

Jinzhong heard her threat, but he was happy in his heart. At least the Queen was not as heartless as the Emperor and took Yanwan's efforts for granted.

His voice was not heavy, but his tone was very serious: "Does the Queen believe in destiny? Your master's horoscope was personally sent to the Imperial Observatory by me. The masters of the Imperial Observatory all said that the horoscope was very good, and it would not only bring good fortune to yourself, but also to others."

He raised his head slightly, and his narrow fox eyes looked down at the ground: "The people in the Imperial Observatory still don't know whose horoscope that is."

Empress Fucha didn't expect him to say this, but she already understood his position: "Okay!... I'll leave the matter of Changchun Palace to you to investigate. Before the emperor comes, I at least want to know who attacked Yongcong!"

She didn't believe that Yongcong, who had someone looking after him every day, would still have such a problem.

It was not easy for the Empress to raise a child, she knew it early on, but she... she had already lost two children!

Empress Fucha staggered to her feet and said, "Qi Ru, please check the people around Yong Cong yourself. The result will come out soon. Jin Zhong, if you can find out who did it, I will definitely, definitely reward you handsomely!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qi Ru hurriedly approaching the door to ask for an audience: "Madam, it has been found out that it was the Seventh Prince's wet nurse Chunniang who had contracted the smallpox epidemic, but she had a good constitution and was still in the incubation period, so she had no symptoms, which is why no one had discovered it."

Empress Fucha said sternly, "Chun Niang hasn't left Changchun Palace recently, so it's impossible for her to be infected for no reason! Go check who Chun Niang has been in contact with, check her food, clothing, housing and transportation! There must be a result!"

Jinzhong said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will find out as soon as possible!"

Qi Ru looked at the Queen in embarrassment: "Seventh Prince has smallpox, so he should be moved out of Changchun Palace immediately..."

Empress Fucha stared at him: "I am the Empress of the Central Palace, so I naturally know the seriousness of this matter. Now..."

Outside, Lian Xin came in hurriedly: "My Lady, Xiao Dezi who was guarding the gate has suddenly disappeared!"

Empress Fucha's face turned pale. She wanted to say something but closed her eyes. She turned to look at Jinzhong, but only saw Jinzhong's back as he walked towards the side hall.

With intense emotions surging in her chest, she finally said, "Wait for the Emperor!"

The person behind the scenes just happened to bribe the young eunuch who was guarding the gate on a daily basis. He must have been certain that if she found out that Yongcong was sick, she would just keep him in Changchun Palace and report to the palace after a day or two. Even if Hongli didn't want to agree, he had to agree.

Now that there was movement from her side, Xiao Dezi ran to report the news.

Yongcong...she was afraid she couldn't keep him!

Qi Ru breathed a sigh of relief: "I will go take care of the Seventh Prince first."

Empress Fucha nodded and said, "Please, Doctor Qi, no matter what, you must save the Seventh Prince."

Qi Ru was relieved to see that the queen no longer insisted on following him in like before, and said, "I obey your command."

As soon as he left, Yanwan came over with the support of Chunchan and Lancui.

Seeing that Empress Fucha's face was frighteningly pale, Yan Wan pushed Chunchan and Lancui aside and walked over quickly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

Empress Fucha seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Yanwan, Yongcong will be fine, right?"

A trace of confusion and fear flashed across Yanwan's tearful eyes.

In fact, she doesn't know either.

She thought there was no bean plague in the palace this time. She reminded the Seventh Prince before any patient was found in the palace, and she thought he should be fine. But the Seventh Prince still got the bean plague.

Is it true that destiny cannot be defied?

Do not!

There must be a way!

Yan Wan reached out and hugged Empress Fucha's shoulders, saying to her, and also to herself: "We discovered it early, the Seventh Prince will be fine!"

The breath that Empress Fucha had been holding in collapsed in an instant. She grabbed Yan Wan's clothes and cried silently in her arms.

Yanwan's eyes and nose felt sore and tears fell uncontrollably.

As noble as the queen is, she doesn't even dare to cry out loud, because even though she is different now, she knows clearly that she lacks some confidence - the confidence that the emperor should give to support the queen!

If it was Ruyi...

No.

Even if Ruyi is Hongli's true love, when she threatens the emperor's fundamental interests and dignity, shouldn't the emperor first save his own face and let her swallow her anger?

Yan Wan hugged Empress Fucha tightly and said, "Your Majesty, you must save some tears. When the Emperor arrives, cry hard and cry as hard as you can. Cry until he softens his heart, and then you can get more convenience for the Seventh Prince!"

Empress Fucha's shoulders trembled violently, and she finally couldn't hold back and let out a sob.

When a child is infected with smallpox, the mother still has to use tricks to seek her husband's sympathy. How sad and ridiculous, yet so normal!

Yan Wan hugged her tightly with red eyes until she heard noise outside again.

Jinzhong hurried in: "My queen."

He first looked at Yan Wan who was beside Empress Fucha. Seeing Yan Wan glaring at him, he calmly shifted his gaze and looked down at the ground:

"I found out that a young maid who delivered clothes to Chunniang in the laundry shop has disappeared. I interrogated all the people who shared the same room with her and heard that she had seen..."

Empress Fucha's eyes were bloodshot: "Tell me! Is there anything I can't bear now?"

Jinzhong lowered his body and said, "She went to see the deceased Imperial Concubine's maid, Mo Xin. When I found her, I discovered that Mo Xin's mother had died of a high fever, and Mo Xin had already started to have pox."

It was as if a string in Empress Fucha's head snapped. She looked towards Su Lian suddenly and her eyes went dark.

So, she was dizzy and did something wrong in the past, and the retribution fell on the child? !

Su Lian was heartbroken, angry and furious: "Doesn't her nine clans want her anymore?"

Empress Fucha suppressed her emotions and asked, "What did Mo Xin say?"

Jinzhong didn't look up. "When I arrived, Moxin had already died. She was force-fed with Crane's Beak Red. Her mother had been dead for four or five days, but because of the cold weather and no smell, others thought Moxin was still taking care of her, so no one knew."

This is really not a rare thing.

Palace maids and eunuchs who were not protected by a favored master could only wait to die if they fell ill. They would be wrapped in a straw mat and thrown away.

But this mother and daughter, one died for four or five days without being discovered, and the other was directly force-fed with poison. This shows how powerful the person behind the scenes is.

Empress Fucha shouted at the top of her lungs: "Investigate! I want to find out who is behind Mo Xin!"

The announcement of the emperor's arrival came from outside. Yan Wan supported Empress Fucha firmly and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here. Go quickly and ask him to investigate thoroughly!"

This palace is the emperor's palace after all. There is nothing he cannot find out, only things he doesn't want to find out.

Some things, even if they are not finally found out, there are always clues and doubts -

As long as this suspicion exists, even if the emperor is unwilling to speak out in the future due to various concerns, he will definitely reveal his dissatisfaction and suspicion of that person in every way. Then, it will be time for them to take revenge.

Empress Fucha staggered to her feet, pinching her palms tightly to stay awake. With the support of Yan Wan, she cried and shouted as she went outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please don't let anyone take Yongcong away. I want to watch him myself! I...can't lose a third child!"
