Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

"We can't bribe anyone under Concubine Xian."

Jiapin tutted her words, "So are we just going to watch that little bitch Hailan give birth to a prince?"

Zhenshu said as she massaged Jiapin: "Meichang is over there too. The Queen Mother is taking care of her personally and she can't interfere."

Jiapin: "The Queen Mother is currently preoccupied with Princess Duanshu's affairs, so I'm afraid she has no intention of interrogating."

Zhenshu understood Jiapin's hint as soon as she curled her lips.

The food for Concubine Mei was carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen and was now being packed into food boxes to be sent to Yonghe Palace.

Zhenshu rushed forward at the right moment: "Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li bowed and said, "Oh, it's Aunt Zhenshu. What do you want me to do?"

Zhenshu: "We would like to bring in some dishes from our hometown, and we would like to trouble Eunuch Li for a favor."

As she spoke, Zhenshu secretly stuffed a bag of silver into his hand. Eunuch Li weighed it and felt that it was quite heavy: "Thank you, Madam Jiapin. I will definitely remember this."

"Okay, I'll take the food box from Qixiang Palace back to save you the trouble of making another trip."

Eunuch Li hunched over and grinned, "Thank you, Aunt Zhenshu."

Zhenshu took the lid of the food box and tested it with a silver needle. Then she said, "Oh, Eunuch Li, I'll try it on Concubine Mei as well. Our master appreciates her hard work during her pregnancy."

Eunuch Li nodded repeatedly: "This Concubine Jia is really beautiful and kind-hearted."

Later, news came from Yonghe Palace that Concubine Mei had a miscarriage, and even the Empress Dowager was alarmed.

When Hongli arrived, the Empress Dowager had already summoned Qi Rulai for treatment. Fortunately, Concubine Mei and the child were not seriously injured.

"The Queen Mother is here too."

Zhen Huan raised her eyes and nodded, "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei almost fell into a trap and lost her child."

Ruyi stepped forward and knelt down: "It was my fault that I was careless. I didn't expect someone would poison Concubine Mei's food."

Zhen Huan: "Thank goodness you arranged for a maid to test the poison. Please get up."

Rong Pei helped Ruyi stand up and sit back in her seat.

Ruyi said, "I have already arranged for someone to investigate this matter. Eunuch Li from the Imperial Kitchen said that only Zhenshu had opened the food sent to Yonghe Palace, saying that she was helping Concubine Mei test for poison."

Zhen Huan narrowed her eyes: "Huh, Jiapin? She's so brave."

Hongli: "The Empress Dowager has no evidence yet..."

Zhen Huan: "Your Majesty, I can wait for Concubine Xian to find evidence. Concubine Jia is from the Yu clan. If you don't want to break up with her, I will be the bad guy."

Hongli's face suddenly turned dark.

Ruyi: "Queen Dowager, please calm down first. We must get to the bottom of this matter."

As he was speaking, Li Yu came in with the poison he had found from Qixiang Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the poison we found in Zhenshu's room in Qixiang Palace. I've had it examined by the Imperial Physician Qi, and it's the same poison Mei Chang used on the maids."

Hongli frowned. He refused to believe it just now, but now that he had evidence and witnesses, he could no longer tolerate Jiapin.

At this time, Jiapin was kneeling outside the palace in plain clothes, and Zhenshu had been sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Yu came out to announce the emperor's order: "The emperor has issued an oral decree. Qixiang Palace's Zhenshu, who poisoned Mei Changzai, is exiled to Yu Shi and is forbidden to enter the capital forever. Jiapin is stripped of her title and will be made a concubine, and confined to Qixiang Palace."

Jin Yuyan kept kowtowing and begging the emperor to see her.

Ruyi stood up and said, "Let me go and persuade her."

Hongli and Zhen Huan both had dark faces. Zhen Huan said, "Go, Concubine Xian, and teach her the meaning of respect and inferiority."
