Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Yixiu looked down at Consort Xian and said in a low voice, "No matter what, Ru Ying must not die. She is of great use to me. The Emperor has always been a suspicious person. The Nian family has suffered such a tragic end. Don't you see?"

Concubine Xian's heart skipped a beat. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and slowly replied, "Sister, are you planning to use Ru Ying to deal with the Emperor? Ru Ying is stupid and her actions are always shocking. Even if you want to protect her, I'm afraid the Emperor will execute her!"

Yixiu curled her lips and smiled coldly, "The emperor has a thousand ways to kill Ru Ying, and I have ten thousand ways to save Ru Ying."

Consort Xian always listened to Yixiu the most. She nodded immediately and said firmly, "Don't worry, sister. Since you want to use Ru Ying to deal with the emperor, I will do everything I can to protect Ru Ying."

The two looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, even if they didn't say anything, they could understand each other's feelings.

Yangxindian

The emperor was almost half dead after being tortured by Ruhua. He paralyzed on the bed, and even after waking up, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The imperial physician had already prepared the medicine and had it brought to the emperor, ready to serve him.

The prince took the medicine bowl from the eunuch very naturally and walked towards the emperor with a worried look on his face.

"Father Emperor, the medicine is ready, drink some!"

The emperor sighed and looked very tired.

"Honghui, I wonder what you think about what Ru promised?"

The prince knelt down in front of the emperor, and Su Peisheng, who was standing beside him, tactfully placed a cushion under the prince's knees.

The prince blew on the medicine in the spoon while feeding it to the emperor's mouth, "If you agree to be your royal father's concubine, everything will be decided by your royal father. I dare not."

The word "concubine" severely irritated the emperor's now fragile nerves.

He seemed to be having a stress reaction, got angry for no reason, and threw the medicine bowl to the ground.

"How dare you! If she agrees not to be my concubine, she is not! I will never have such a concubine!"

The prince did not expect the emperor's reaction to be so big. Who on earth is this Ru Da Ying who could make his father like this?

The palace maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors around were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not breathe, for fear of angering the emperor at this time.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The emperor began to cough violently, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He said in a hoarse voice, "You may leave first. I don't need anyone to serve me here. Oh, and please go see the Queen Mother for me. I haven't been feeling well lately and can't handle the affairs of the court. The Crown Prince will take care of the affairs of state for the time being!"

The prince's eyes were dark, and he stood up without any emotion. He bowed on the ground and said, "Your son will take his leave!"

After the Crown Prince left, the Emperor said sternly, "Su Peisheng, call the people I sent to the Imperial Observatory. I want to see if I can deal with this damn Ruhua."

However, the emperor would never have thought that the Imperial Observatory was full of Su Chou's people, or to be more precise, all of them were the late emperor's people.

Before his death, Kangxi knew that a will alone would not be enough to affect the emperor who had already ascended the throne, so he joined forces with Su Chou and handed over all the power of the Imperial Observatory to him.

Even the crown prince didn't know about this matter, and Yixiu only knew one side of the story.

Yixiu knew that there were people from Su Chou in the Imperial Observatory, but she didn't know that all the people in the Imperial Observatory were Su Chou's people.

The Director of the Imperial Observatory was secretly summoned to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor. Before coming here, he had already prepared a draft in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor. I wonder if Your Majesty summoned me here because of what Naru promised you?"

The supervisor knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

The emperor's lips curled up into a wry smile, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and he said in a gloomy tone, "As long as you are here, I certainly cannot live forever."

The Supervisor said calmly, "I observed the celestial phenomena a few nights ago and found that the Purple Star had dimmed a little. I was worried that the Emperor might be unwell, so I made some predictions for him. Who would have thought that I would actually find that there is a strange woman in Ganlu Temple whose fate is connected to the Emperor's? If anything happens to this woman, I am afraid that the Emperor's life will be in danger! This matter is of great importance. I can only tell the Empress that if you agree, it will affect the fate of the country and you cannot move."

The Emperor couldn't believe it and said, "How is this possible? This is too absurd. Naru promised to marry her, but she was just a posthumous child of Narbu. Who is she to be connected to my fate?"

The Supervisor shook his head and explained to the Emperor in a serious tone, "No, no, it's precisely because Ru Ying grew up in Ganlu Temple and had some connection with Buddhism that she has such a special fate. This person was sent by the Buddha to protect the Emperor. If the Emperor attacks Ru Ying, he will probably anger the Buddha!"

The emperor carefully observed the supervisor's expression and saw that his words were very confident and did not seem to be lying at all.

The emperor also knew that the Imperial Observatory had always been under the royal family's jurisdiction and could never be bribed by outsiders.

But now, the emperor would rather the eunuch was bribed to tell this outrageous lie. Otherwise, is he going to have to endure Ru's wild behavior in his harem?

The emperor pursed his lips, wanting to struggle again. "Then I wonder if the Imperial Observatory has a way to sever my fate with Ru Ying's, no matter the cost. This woman is truly too disgusting. If she remains in the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace for a single day!"

The Supervisor knelt on the ground again and bowed deeply, saying in a firm tone, "Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence. It is truly Heaven's will that cannot be disobeyed. This is fate."

The emperor took a deep breath. If the imperial physician had not repeatedly told him not to get angry, he would have started cursing by now.

"Go out, I understand."

After the supervisor left, Su Peisheng wanted to bring the palace maids and eunuchs into the house to serve, but was driven out by the emperor.

"Everyone, get out of here. I want to be alone."

There was a hint of emptiness on the emperor's face, as if he had lost interest in everything in this world.

The emperor prepared himself mentally for a long time in the room before he made up his mind to keep Ruhua in the palace.

The emperor encouraged himself, she is just a little Ruhua, I can't afford to offend her, but can't I hide from her?

Didn't the Supervisor say that nothing could happen to Ruhua? Then I'll keep Ruhua in the palace, and give her good food and drink. At worst, I'll just confine her to her house and never let her out again.

But the emperor still underestimated Ruhua's strength. Ruhua was unable to stay idle after being imprisoned for less than a day.

Qixiang Palace

Ruhua's hands, as thick and short as carrots, supported her cheeks, and some of the loose flesh on her face was embedded in the gaps between her fingers.
