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

The other palaces adjacent to Qixiang Palace were also more or less affected by Ruhua's hypocrisy.

Nian Shilan loves cleanliness the most, but Qixiang Palace is within the scope of the West Six Palaces, so Nian Shilan doesn't care about the possibility that Huanyixiang will cause infertility.

She instructed Songzhi, "Go call Zhou Ninghai and have everyone in Yikun Palace light up all the available incense burners with Huanyi incense. The smell is simply too unbearable."

Songzhi frowned in disgust. She suggested, "My lady, I've heard that mugwort can be used for disinfection. When Ru promised to fumigate the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress in Shoukang Palace, she also burned mugwort. Should we go to the Imperial Hospital and get some?"

Nian Shilan waved her hands impatiently and said, "What are you waiting for? Go quickly! If you go too late, someone else will snatch it away."

Nian Shilan's guess was correct. Now the Imperial Hospital is full of palace servants asking for mugwort.

Too Hospital

Doctor Wen and his son were so busy that Wen Shichu's voice became hoarse from shouting, "Move all the mugwort out of the warehouse, quickly!"

The palace maids and eunuchs in several palaces pushed and shoved each other. Everyone knew that mugwort was in short supply now. Who knew where it would be gone? If they didn't take it back, not to mention whether the master would punish them, the stench in the air would be enough to make them suffer.

Before the mugwort could be sorted out, the medicine boy's voice came from the other side, "Little Doctor Wen, something's wrong. Those palace maids, like the ones who were sent here originally, have fainted."

A trickle of sweat streamed down Wen Shichu's face. He wiped it fiercely and said irritably, "Come here and distribute the mugwort to them. I'll go and take a look!"

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are now extremely busy. The palace maids and eunuchs who were knocked unconscious by the smoke in Shoukang Palace have not been cured yet, and a new batch has been sent in.

The well-informed concubines in the harem were afraid that the stench would spread to their own palaces, so they all sent people to the Imperial Hospital to ask for mugwort.

The amount of mugwort stored in the palace was limited, and coupled with the malicious hoarding by concubines in the harem, the mugwort was soon looted.

By the time some concubines who were not so well-informed arrived, the mugwort had already been taken.

The entire harem is now full of complaints, and the concubines headed by Concubine Qi even want to ask the emperor to make a decision and drive Ru Ying out of the palace.

The emperor knew that Ruhua's life was connected to his own, so he naturally could not agree and suppressed the matter.

Gyeongin Palace

The next morning, when the emperor and his wife were about to pay their respects, Concubine Qi was the first to stand up and report to Yixiu: "Your Majesty, if you agreed to the empty smell yesterday, the whole West Six Palaces could smell it. Now my palace is still filled with the smell of mugwort. I really can't stand it. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision!"

With Concubine Qi leading the charge, everyone else also stood up. Xin Changzai of Chuxiu Palace said helplessly, "My palace is filled with that disgusting smell too. The Imperial Hospital is running out of mugwort now. I really don't know if I'll get sick without it."

Concubine Jing of Xianfu Palace said, "Your Majesty, we do not mean to embarrass you, but the impact of this incident is truly too severe. There are still several palace maids in the Imperial Hospital!"

Concubine Chun sighed and said with some fear, "When I sent people to the Imperial Hospital to get the mugwort, it was already gone. What if this stench spreads to the East Six Palaces? What will I do then?"

An Lingrong saw the Queen's helplessness and stood up, saying with a smile, "I think it would be better to keep Ru under control, or have her move far away so that she doesn't affect the sisters in our palace."

Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat. Her own Sui Yuxuan was far away from the six palaces in the east and west. Could it be that Ru Danying was going to be moved next to Sui Yuxuan?

After hearing what everyone said, Yixiu also had a sad expression.

"That being said, the Emperor feels that Ru Yan was raised in Ganlu Temple since she was a child. She comes from a poor family and has never understood the rules. He asks all the sisters to be more tolerant."

Yixiu then looked at everyone with an apologetic look on her face, as if to say that it was all the emperor's intention and there was nothing she could do!

Shen Meizhuang curled her lips in disgust. Isn't the emperor's taste too weird?

Although he had never seen this Ru Da Ying, he could guess from listening to people's words that this Ru Da Ying was not only old and ugly, but also had a smell that could make people faint. How could the emperor fall in love with her at first sight?

Ruhua kept talking about herself and the emperor in the palace every day, saying that they fell in love at first sight at Ganlu Temple and were committed to each other for life. At first, no one believed it, but Ruhua kept talking about it every day and spread it around, so everyone really believed that the emperor had feelings for Ruhua.

Now, under Yixiu's deliberate misleading, everyone thinks that it is because the emperor likes Ruhua that Ruhua dares to be so presumptuous.

Everyone felt a little contempt for the emperor for a moment. He thought that all the shit outside smelled good to him. It was such a sin to bring such a person into the palace.

"Sisters, please rest assured. Today, I have instructed the Imperial Household Department to purchase more mugwort, and the doctors at the Imperial Hospital are also working hard to develop some suitable prescriptions. If you sisters really don't like this promise, then stay away from her and don't associate with her."

Hearing Yixiu say this, the concubines had nothing to say and could only shut up awkwardly.

Qixiang Palace

Ruhua's face was swollen like a pig's head, but she didn't care at all. She kept muttering "young man" over and over again and looked at him from afar.

The door creaked open, and Xiao Xizi, wearing a mask, put the lunch box on the table with difficulty.

"My lord, it's time for dinner."

After saying that, Xiao Xizi opened the lunch box and placed all the food inside on the table one by one.

Ruhua’s food is pretty good. After all, the emperor now thinks that Ruhua’s fate is connected with his, so he doesn’t treat Ruhua too badly.

Her meals were better than those of ordinary people. She had a bowl of rice, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

Ruhua sniffed suddenly and said coquettishly, "I'm in a really bad mood today and don't really want to eat these. Just leave them there!"

Xiao Xizi nodded and walked out.

Ruhua looked furtively outside the door, and when she saw that Xiao Xizi was no longer there, she immediately climbed down from the bed and pounced on the table full of delicious food with her eyes glowing green.

Xiao Xizi did not leave, but waited outside the door. He was originally worried that Ruhua would cause trouble, but he discovered such a speechless scene of Ruhua.

It's really ridiculous that Ru agreed to this. The food was originally given to her. She could eat it if she wanted. Why did she say no while eating it with a disgusting expression?
