Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Because his two beloved legitimate sons died young one after another, the emperor did not give the child a name. He was afraid that a name that was too noble would not suit the child's appearance, so he wanted to wait until the child grew up before giving him a name.

Bai Ruiji lowered her head as she embroidered a small bellyband the size of a child's palm. She looked listless and just stared at the bellyband without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Yan Wan couldn't help but sigh.

She saw all of this. Looking at Yihuan's child, Bai Ruiji probably also remembered the child who was killed before he could even open his eyes.

Yanwan was also a mother and knew the pain of being separated from her child.

Whenever she thought of Jingxuan, Yanwan's heart began to ache involuntarily.

In this life, she would never let her child be corrupted by Concubine Ying. That was the child she and Jinzhong had been looking forward to, and they had been pregnant for ten months and had gone through a lot of trouble for a whole day and night before giving birth.

If...if Jingxuan is still the same in this life as in the previous life, then I will abandon her first without waiting for her to despise me as her mother.

After thinking about it, Yan Wan felt depressed. She smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes caused by the embroidery. Looking at Bai Ruiji who was concentrating on embroidering a bellyband, Yan Wan came up with a plan.

Since I can't deal with Jin Yuyan now, I might as well collect some interest from her.

Jin Yuyan has been feeling a little uneasy lately because Concubine Mei suddenly regained the emperor's favor. She was afraid that the fact that she had used the smallpox epidemic to harm the Seventh Prince and Empress Fucha would be revealed. In addition, Concubine Mei suddenly blocked her way to regaining the emperor's favor, and the emperor kept favoring her. How could he remember that there was a person like her in Qixiang Palace?

She stared out the window, a hint of cruelty flashing across her pretty and charming face.

It was all her fault for blocking her way. Since Bai Ruiji hated Empress Fucha so much, she might as well go down and accompany her.

She took out the prepared poison from the cabinet, which she had brought from her mother's family, and asked Li Xin to find an opportunity to secretly put it into Concubine Mei's food...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when the Tenth Prince was due to have his period. The Emperor rarely came to Chengqian Palace to visit Shu Fei.

Since Shu Fei became pregnant, the emperor has not come often. Now that she has finally seen the emperor, she is so happy that she quickly asks the wet nurse to bring the child to her so that the emperor can see what the little prince looks like.

Just as the two were chatting, Jinzhong suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Consort Shu, someone is coming from Yonghe Palace."

"What happened to Yonghe Palace? Why are you so flustered?"

The emperor looked at the little prince. Even if he was hard-hearted, he could not be disgusted with such a young child. When he heard Jinzhong's movement, he impatiently withdrew his hand that was teasing the child.

Jinzhong quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my fault for being so careless that I have disturbed your pleasure. But just now, someone from Yonghe Palace came to report that Concubine Mei has been poisoned, and Imperial Physician Bao is treating her."

"What? Shu Fei, I'm going to go see Mei Fei first. You take good care of yourself and I'll come see you another day."

The emperor's expression suddenly turned cold. He had never expected that Concubine Mei would be poisoned and murdered right under his nose. Anger instantly surged in his heart. What on earth was going on in the harem? So many things had happened, and Concubine Mei was in favor. How was this any different from slapping him in the face?

"How could this be?"

Yi Huan was terrified and stood there in a daze. The next second, she returned the child to the wet nurse and said, "Your Majesty, I and Concubine Mei are like sisters. May I go with you to see the child?"

Seeing that she was determined to go, the emperor had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Alright, Jinzhong, let Li Yu inform the queen and let her come to see what's going on. This harem is in chaos."

It is the queen's duty to manage the harem. Now that a concubine has been murdered, she is asked to take charge of the situation. This can be considered as some favor the emperor gives her.

Concubine Mei was in the emperor's favor, and when the emperor heard that she had been murdered again, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

After all, she almost gave birth to the first prince since the emperor ascended the throne.

Yonghe Palace was very close to Chengqian Palace, situated to the east, separated only by a palace road. Because of this proximity, Ruiji had often visited Yihuan since she became pregnant, sharing her time with her. During Yihuan's confinement, Ruiji had been particularly helpful.

When the group hurried into the Yonghe Palace, they found that Yanwan was also there, and Bai Ruiji was unconscious on the bed.

"Your Majesty, you must give justice to Concubine Mei. She has suffered so much. If I hadn't come early today, I'm afraid..."

When she saw the emperor, Yan Wan cried beside the bed and knelt down to plead her case before she had time to wipe her tears.

"I will uphold justice for her. Please get up quickly. How is Concubine Mei?"

Seeing Yan Wan crying sadly, the emperor helped her up first, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her softly.

"Someone poisoned Sister Meifei's food. Luckily, she didn't eat much and has vomited it all out. Doctor Bao said that if he had come a step later, even a great immortal would have been unable to save her. It's a pity that the child in Sister Meifei's belly..."

"What? She's pregnant? But wasn't she unable to get pregnant back then?"

The emperor turned his gaze to Bai Ruiji, who was lying soundlessly on the bed. A trace of sadness flashed across his face. He had inadvertently caused him to lose another royal heir.

Yan Wan glanced at Bai Ruiji who was sleeping unconscious on the bed, and invited everyone to talk in the side hall.

It turned out that Bai Ruiji had been taking great pains to take care of her health over the years. While the imperial physicians were highly skilled, there were also many skilled gynecologists among the common people. She held onto hope that if the palace physicians couldn't cure her, she would seek out some famous folk doctors.

During this southern tour, she specifically asked the Empress Dowager to recruit famous doctors from Jiangnan for consultation. After finally recovering from her illness, she was looking forward to the birth of her child, but she never expected that she would lose him before she even knew he was born.

Today was the day when the tenth prince was one month old. Yan Wan had agreed with her that she would go to visit Shu Fei, but she happened to arrive early. Bai Ruiji happened to be having a meal. She took only a small bite and then stood up to greet Yan Wan.

Just after the two sat down and talked for a few words, Bai Ruiji felt dizzy and fell down. Fortunately, Chun Chan, who was waiting beside her, was quick to catch her.

Yonghe Palace was suddenly in chaos, and Yan Wan hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

Then, this is the scene that the emperor saw when he entered the room.

When Ruyi arrived late, she saw the emperor sitting at the top and asking questions to the imperial physician Bao, with the palace maids and eunuchs of Yonghe Palace kneeling on the ground below to serve him.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"The Queen is here. Concubine Mei was poisoned and the baby in her belly is gone. I have lost another heir to the throne."

When the emperor saw that the person coming was Ruyi, his gloomy expression eased a lot. He had been uneasy since recently and was in a state of irritability. Now he was on the verge of anger.
