Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

"Why do I see that my sister looks more radiant than before because of her pregnancy?" Gao Xiyue was really happy for her. She knew that Ruyi's baby was a prince, and he was the first child born to the emperor after he ascended the throne, ahead of Concubine Jia. He was a noble son.

"Yes, I think so too." Ruyi couldn't hide the joy between her brows.

Gao Xiyue's eyes lit up: "That's good." But her eyes suddenly dimmed again: "Hey, I'm afraid that Hai Guiren and I are the only ones in this palace who sincerely congratulate Sister on her pregnancy."

"Although the Emperor and the Empress have a shallow relationship, he still cares about Fucha and dares not depose the Empress. Sister, everyone knows that if the late Emperor had not stopped you, both the Concubine and the Empress would still be yours."

Hai Lan nodded in agreement. "The Fucha clan had made numerous contributions during the previous dynasty, and the Emperor has always been kind and lenient towards the Empress. Even during the Linglingxiang incident, didn't he find someone to be her scapegoat? It's clear that the Emperor won't touch her lightly."

How could Ruyi not know?

"After all this, the Emperor is even more disappointed in the Empress. Everything else is secondary. The Emperor's feelings are the most important. We must not go against them."

In her previous life, Ruyi was like a stubborn donkey, who spoke frankly and was disliked by Hongli. In this life, she becomes a submissive and beautiful bride, making Hongli remember her kindness all the time!

About half a month later, the wind and snow finally stopped. As soon as Hongli came home from court, he saw Concubine Hui outside the Yangxin Palace.

Looking up, Hongli felt his eyes brighten. Concubine Hui rarely wore such plain clothes. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she looked much more stable than before.

When he approached, Gao Xiyue saluted him and said, "Your Highness."

"Why did Concubine Hui come to the Yangxin Palace today? Is there something wrong?" asked the emperor.

Gao Xiyue's beautiful eyes turned, and she said in a soft and sweet voice: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask for your support."

Li Yu took the fur hat handed to him by the emperor and put it away. He then served tea to the two of them and stood aside with his head lowered to serve.

Hongli waved his hand and motioned Gao Xiyue to sit down.

"Oh? Let me hear what it is."

"Your Majesty, have you visited the princes in Xiefang Palace recently?"

Li Yu said, "The Emperor has been busy with state affairs lately."

"That's right. I thought that the emperor was busy with government affairs every day and the queen was ill, so I wanted to take good care of the children for the emperor.

One day, I watched the eldest prince practicing calligraphy. Although he was very young, his handwriting was very good. But when I got closer, I saw that his arms were covered with wounds, and his clothes were very dirty and thin.

I asked him why he was like this, and he actually said that the nanny who took care of him didn't change his clothes and didn't let him eat enough.

Your Majesty, the eldest prince is a prince after all. How can he be wronged like this? I am really at a loss. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision!"

The emperor was very angry after hearing her words. He immediately asked Li Yu to bring the eldest prince Yonghuang and locked up all the maids, palace maids and eunuchs who served him in the Ministry of Punishment.

Yonghuang's face was pale and he was thin. Although he was terrified, he still knew the etiquette and knelt down: "Your son pays his respects to the Emperor and to Empress Hui."

Hongli nodded: "Stand up and show it to the Emperor." He was still worried about his son. He rolled up Yonghuang's sleeves, and saw bruises all over Yonghuang's arms, which was shocking!

"The princes and princesses are usually taken care of by the Empress. Now that the Empress is ill, perhaps the servants have become lazy and are therefore mistreating the eldest prince."
