Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

"No." Jiang Yubin suddenly became excited.

"Please, my lord, help me to get revenge." Jiang Yebin knelt on his knees and spoke in a low voice.

Lan Qi's hands trembled, and the teacup nearly slipped from her grasp. She lowered her voice and pretended to be calm, "Doctor Jiang, do you know what you are saying?"

Jiang Yebin raised his head, the sadness in his eyes replaced by a hint of determination. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Of course I know that in this imperial city, the lives of servants are as worthless as ants in the eyes of those people."

"But they've all forgotten that I'm human too." Jiang Yebin clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands. "A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner, so why does Concubine Jia take human life without paying any price? Is it just because she's a noblewoman of the Yu family?"

"I truly refuse to accept this. Since the Emperor won't punish her, and Heaven won't take her life, then I will take it." Jiang Yebin's eyes burned with rage. "I will exact back the pain she inflicted on惢心 a thousandfold."

Lan Qi looked at the imperial physician in front of her who was usually gentle and polite. At this moment, he was like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation, exuding a dangerous aura.

Murdering a concubine is a capital crime.

Isn't he afraid?

Lan Qi couldn't help but feel curious: "There are so many concubines in the harem, why did you choose me? Speaking of closeness, Miss惢心 is close to the Imperial Concubine. I'm sure she cares about me as much as Doctor Jiang does."

Imperial concubine?

Jiang Yubin had long been extremely disappointed with the woman who only cared about love.

Jiang Yebin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Because I saw the hatred towards Concubine Jia in the eyes of the young master."

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

She didn't explain, but just smiled faintly: "Do you think I hate Concubine Jia?"

"No matter whether you have any ill will towards Concubine Jia, getting rid of a strong enemy is not a bad thing for you, right?" Jiang Yebin asked in return.

He didn't believe that the women in the harem were not interested in the position of queen.

Lan Qi suddenly felt some admiration for Jiang Yebi. This seemingly dull imperial physician was actually very thoughtful and could see through her thoughts at a glance.

She smiled, her eyes showing sympathy for Jiang Yebi and pity for Ruyi.

It's obvious that everyone around her has extraordinary abilities, but it's a pity that their talents are wasted. They have to work hard for a love-brained man. Some died, some were injured, and no one benefited.

"What do you want to do?" Lan Qi finally asked.

Jiang Yebin lowered his eyes. This plan was something he had come up with on the spur of the moment and hadn't thought through yet. He simply said, "I don't have a specific plan yet. I only ask that you, my lord, help me when I need it."

He paused, then assured with a firm tone, "I promise that even if the truth comes out in the future, I will never implicate you, my lady."

Lan Qi didn't agree immediately. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly, "This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to consider it."

Jiang Yebi knew that this matter was of great importance and Lan Qi needed time to weigh the pros and cons. He said no more, stood up, saluted, and quietly left.

The moon is shining brightly in the window, and the night is picturesque. A gentle night breeze blows through the treetops, and the moonlight is fragmented, shining like broken silver.

Amidst the interweaving of light and shadow, reflecting the scattered flying petals, a figure suddenly flashed by.

"Su Lian." Lan Qi called softly.

Su Lian flashed in from outside. Lan Qi had known that she was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping. At this moment, Su Lian's face was full of anxiety: "Empress Cheng, with such a good opportunity, why didn't you just agree to Doctor Jiang's request?"

"Have you forgotten how Jin Yuyan used someone else's knife to kill someone and wanted to silence the witness? If she ascends to a high position in the future, I'm afraid there will never be peace in the harem." Su Lian clenched his fists, his eyes full of resentment.

When a person dies, there is nothing.

Even the pain and those memories will turn into ashes with a fire.

So death is not that scary. Watching the things you care about slowly disappear with your own eyes, and that feeling of powerlessness that you can't hold on to them, is the best punishment for a person.

She had snatched Su Lian from the clutches of Hades at the cost of Yingsi's life. Lan Qi knew the emperor's methods well, and the evidence she held could certainly bring Jin Yuyan to ruin. But she was nothing more than a pathetic tribute girl to the Yu clan. If the Yu clan lost this pawn, they would send other young and beautiful women.

Death is too easy for Jin Yuyan.

Apart from the Yu family, what Jin Yuyan cares about most is her children.

Lan Qi instantly had an idea. She wrote a piece of paper and asked Ji Tao to secretly send it to the Imperial Hospital and give it to Jiang Yubin.

Su Lian helped Lan Qi out of the house. The moonlight shone through the treetops, casting a shadow on Lan Qi's face. Her smile was faintly visible in the shadow.

Su Lian asked, "Young Master, do you want to use Imperial Physician Jiang to get rid of the Ninth Prince?"

Lan Qi turned her head and looked at Su Lian with a half-smile, as if playing dumb. "Get rid of her? Isn't that Imperial Doctor Jiang who holds a grudge against Concubine Jia because he wants to avenge Ruoxin? What does that have to do with me?"

Su Lian's breathing stagnated. She felt a chill down her spine at the thought that flashed through her mind, and she took a deep breath.

She couldn't see through Lan Qi at all. She had a gentle face but a vicious heart.

If Empress Xiaoxian were still alive, she would never be a match for Lan Qi.

"Su Lian, do you know why I didn't touch Jin Yuyan?" Lan Qi said.

Su Lian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I don't know."

Lan Qi lowered her eyes, "One day you will understand. Su Lian, if we want to avenge the Queen, we must remain calm."

Su Lian gritted her teeth and suppressed the hatred surging in her heart, met Lan Qi's gaze, and nodded.

At night, the official road was lit everywhere, and the quiet and silent stone path was brightly lit.

"Doctor Jiang, please stay."

Ji Tao finally caught up with Jiang Yubin.

Jiang Yebin turned around and saw Ji Tao's face flushed. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss Ji Tao, is there something wrong?"

Ji Tao took out the note written by Lan Qi from her sleeve and handed it to him, saying slowly: "This is what Concubine Cheng asked me to give to you."

"Did the Queen say anything else?" Jiang Yubin asked.

Ji Tao hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "If Imperial Doctor Jiang has finished reading this, please destroy this note to prevent it from falling into the hands of thieves."

"I understand. Please tell the Queen to rest assured." Jiang Yebin put the note away and bowed to Ji Tao, saying, "The road is dark at night, please be careful on the way."

Ji Tao bowed to Jiang Yubin and turned back to Guanju Palace.

Back in the house, Jiang Yebin lit a candle, took out the note and read it by candlelight. There were only five short words written on the note: The Ninth Prince is seriously ill.

After reading it, he held the note close to the candle flame and watched it slowly burn to ashes.

He got it.

Concubine Jia values ​​the Yu family and is determined to climb the social ladder for them, becoming the empress and bringing honor to her mother's family. She has many sons, and if the ninth prince dies young, it will undoubtedly be the biggest blow to Concubine Jia.

Ruo Xin was crippled, and although Concubine Jia was the main culprit, the emperor was also an accomplice. After all, the Ninth Prince was born weak, and with a little cunning, he could easily get rid of him.

Just consider it retribution.

Under the night sky, lightning flashed frequently and thunder rumbled, like the sound of war drums, stirring the blood. A fierce wind blew open the windows and doors of Yongjin's room, extinguishing the candles inside. The nurse who was caring for Yongjin was about to close the windows and doors when, in the darkness, she tripped over something and fell forward, accidentally knocking over the wooden frame beside the bed.

The wooden frame hit Yongjin's cradle, scaring him to tears.

When Yuyan heard the crying, she didn't even bother to put on her clothes and ran to Yongjin's room barefoot.

Li Xin carefully protected the candle in her hand and hurried to Yong Jin's room, "My lady, it's cold, please put on some clothes first."

The palace maids looked around, closing windows and lighting candles.

The wet nurse gently rocked Yongjin, whose face had turned purple from crying. Seeing Yuyan, she immediately knelt down, fearing that Yuyan would get angry and have her taken to the Ministry of Punishment for a beating. "This servant greets the noble lady Jia."

Yuyan snatched the child from the wet nurse's hands and put her face against her forehead, "Yongjin, be good, mother is here."

Li Xin put down the candle and put the cloak on Yu Yan.

"Li Xin, how are Yong Cheng and Yong Xuan?"

Li Xin comforted her, "Don't worry, my lady. I've already sent someone to see the Fourth and Eighth Princes."

"That's good." Yuyan felt relieved, but she saw that Yongjin's little face was very purple, as if he was about to suffocate from crying.

"Yongjin, don't scare mother. What happened?" Yuyan said anxiously.

The wet nurse stood up and carefully opened Yongjin's swaddling clothes. She frowned and said, "My lady, the Ninth Prince must be frightened. Please send someone to call the imperial physician to take a look."

"Li Xin, go find someone to inform the Emperor, and get Doctor Qi, go quickly—"

"Yes." Li Xin didn't have time to think about it. She took the umbrella and went to the Yangxin Palace.

Li Yu blocked Li Xin's way outside the Yangxin Palace and she could not see the emperor.

Fearing that something might happen to Yongjin, Li Xin knelt down in front of Li Yu and begged him to go in and inform the emperor for the sake of her royal blood.

If it was Jin Yuyan, Li Yu would definitely not care. Although it was the mother's fault, the child was innocent. Li Yu still went in to report it.
