Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

The Empress Dowager was delighted to see Hongli awake. She exclaimed, "Doctor! Quickly call the doctor! The Emperor is awake."

Hongli had been tired for days and now he had a good sleep and felt much more awake. Looking at the empress dowager with white hair who had stayed with him all night, Hongli felt very guilty.

Hongli: "My dear Empress, I am sorry for making you worry."

The Queen Mother said: "I'm glad you're alright, Your Majesty. I can still hold on in my old age."

Xia Zhang was guarding outside the door. When he heard the empress dowager's cry, he hurried in to take Hongli's pulse.

Xia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor was exhausted from days of fatigue and was very angry, which is why he vomited blood and fainted. Now that he has rested, he is almost recovered.

However, since you have vomited blood, Your Majesty should rest for the next few days and not get angry. I will prescribe some blood-nourishing and qi-boosting prescriptions for Your Majesty."

Hongli and the Empress Dowager both breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down and write the prescription."

Seeing this, Lin Ruoyao stood up and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother haven't had breakfast yet. I'll go to the imperial kitchen and see if they can serve the meal."

Hongli nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and make the arrangements. Let's have a family feast at Jiaoshi Mingqin. I have something to say."

Lin Ruoyao was a little surprised, but still said obediently: "Yes."

When the Queen Mother saw that everyone had left, she hurriedly asked, "What does the Emperor want to do?"

Hongli: "Empress Dowager, your son was on her tour of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, enjoying the joy and celebration. However, I never expected that the Imperial Noble Consort would go mad and cut off her hair in front of me. Such a mad woman is truly unworthy of being an Imperial Noble Consort."

The Empress Dowager was surprised and said, "The Imperial Noble Consort was dining at Jiaoshi Mingqin this morning, and she's gone mad that evening. You think everyone in the palace is a fool? Do you have any idea what others will think if you suddenly depose the Imperial Noble Consort in public?"

Hongli was so angry with Ruyi that he didn't care about anything else. Even though his mind is much clearer now, he still wants to abolish Ruyi's position as Imperial Noble Consort.

Hongli said firmly: "My son can't care about so much. The Imperial Noble Consort's words and deeds are wild and rebellious. She is not worthy of being a concubine in the harem."

The Empress Dowager looked at Hongli intently and said with emotion, "I have seen you like this three times. At the flower viewing banquet that year, you ignored my advice and gave Ruyi to her.

When the Empress moved to a separate residence, you ignored the advice of the court officials and made her an Imperial Noble Consort. Now that she has cut her hair, you, regardless of your reputation, want to depose her. Emperor, have you really thought it through?

Hongli was holding up the teacup. He paused after hearing this, but still drank the tea in one gulp. Then he put down the teacup and nodded.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I can't persuade you any further. But there is one thing: the Imperial Noble Consort has already been sent to the Cold Palace once. This time, don't let her go there again. Let her go to the Shufangzhai to reflect on her past."

Hongli nodded and said, "I will listen to the Empress Dowager."

……

Banana Stone Mingqin

The concubines sat down in the same arrangement as yesterday. The time was almost up, but there was still no one sitting in Ruyi's seat.

Thinking of the commotion and rumors in the palace yesterday, Meiruo stared at Lin Ruoyao and asked, "Empress Yan, where is the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Before Lin Ruoyao could speak, Lu Muping sneered, "Isn't the Imperial Concubine always the last to arrive? Why are you so anxious? She will come when the time comes."

Lin Ruoyao was tightly protected by Lu Muping, and was too embarrassed to explain that Ruyi would not come. When she came over just now, she happened to see Yu Hu taking off Ruyi's imperial concubine's clothes according to the emperor's order. By the time they finished eating, Ruyi would probably have already set off.

Meiruo and Hanxiang had a bad feeling, but they couldn't leave without permission, so they sat there feeling very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Hongli and the Empress Dowager didn't discuss it for long, and when the time came, they came together to eat. Hongli and the Empress Dowager sat at the top, and Ning Xi (Lin Ruoyao's personal maid) went out to serve the meal.

Han Xiangjian and Meiruo both noticed that Hongli was not in a good mood, but they were also worried about Ruyi.

Meiruo then took advantage of the situation and asked, "Empress Yanfei, the Imperial Noble Consort hasn't arrived yet, how could you call for food? Do you really respect the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Lin Ruoyao was whispering with Lu Muping and E Yinzhu. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the words and was about to speak.

Hongli, who was at the top, said calmly, "Yingpin has committed an offense against her superiors. She must copy the palace rules ten times."

Meiruo's eyes widened, not knowing what she had done to offend Hongli, but she could only stand up and say obediently, "I know I was wrong."

Seeing Meiruo had been taught a lesson, Han Xiang could only obediently ask, "Your Majesty, why hasn't the Imperial Concubine come to dinner yet?"

Hongli was enjoying his meal at a leisurely pace when he suddenly dropped a bombshell: "Ulanara's words and deeds are outrageous and her behavior is crazy. She is disrespectful to her superiors and unkind to her subordinates. She is truly unfit to be a concubine in the harem.

From today onwards, the title of Imperial Noble Consort Ulanara is abolished, the imperial seal and golden seal are taken away, and she is immediately sent back to the palace to move to the Shufangzhai to reflect on her mistakes."

Meiruo and Hanxiang were horrified. Lu Muping and Eyinzhu were also very surprised. Has the water in the emperor's brain finally cleared up?

Mei Ruo bravely asked, "Your Majesty, where is the Empress Ulanara now?"

Hongli just glanced up at Meiruo and ignored her.

Meiruo felt uneasy and stood up after taking a few bites, saying, "Your Majesty, I have finished my meal and will take my leave first."

Han Xiangjian also stood up when she saw this and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave as well."

Without even looking up, Hongli said, "Yes."

Meiruo and Hanxiangjian left in a hurry.

Hangzhou Palace, carriage at the gate

Yu Hu puts Ruyi on the carriage and prepares to set off

Meiruo and Hanxiangjian hurried over and saw Fulongan escorting the carriage as it was about to leave.

Meiruo raised her hand and shouted, "Wait! Wait!"

Seeing this, Fu Longan could only dismount and bow, saying, "Your servant Fu Longan greets Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong."

Mei Ruo ordered: "Rong Ben Gong and Rong Fei have a few words with the Imperial Noble Consort."

Fu Longan looked at the carriage behind him and said hesitantly: "This..."

Seeing that Fulongan refused to agree, Meipin threatened: "Although you are the husband of Princess Hejia and the son-in-law of Concubine Chun, don't forget that the Imperial Concubine is also the mother of Princess Hejia."

Fu Longan was not willing to fall for Yingpin's tricks. He argued with reason and evidence: "The princess's only royal mother is the Empress Dowager. Yingpin, please be careful with your words.

Wu Shuren is a criminal whom the Emperor has personally ordered to be sent back to the capital. I'm sorry, but I cannot obey your order. (He mounts his horse and turns back) Let's go.

After Fulongan finished speaking, he mounted his horse and left with his men.

Meiruo had no other choice but to follow the group and shout, "Royal Noble Consort!"

Han Xiangjian also followed Meiruo and chased after the carriage.

This time, Ruyi was severely punished by Hongli. All the non-compliant hairpins and clothes on her body were taken off. It would have been better for her to return to the palace as the queen in her previous life.

Ruyi sat in the carriage indifferently, unmoved, and refused to lift the gauze curtain to meet Meiruo and Hanxiang.

Meiruo and Xiangjian followed to the palace gate, but Ruyi still refused to lift the curtain, so Meiruo and Xiangjian could only watch the carriage go away.

Mei Ruo asked suspiciously, "Is the Imperial Concubine in the carriage? Why isn't she making any noise?"

Han Xiangjian explained, "Perhaps the Queen is too sad and is afraid that seeing us will bring back memories."

Changchun Palace

Jingqin and Jingse sat opposite each other, writing furiously.

Wei Yanwan hurried in and reported, "Princess, Princess Hejing, the Emperor has issued an order."

Jingqin and Jingse looked at each other and were about to kneel down to receive the order.

Wei Yanwan tried to stop him, saying, "Eunuch Jinbao has already sent people to summon the concubines from each palace. He said he would announce the decree after all the concubines have arrived."

……

main hall

Jingqin and Jingse sat on both sides, and the concubines also sat down in order according to their ranks.

Jinbao came in holding the imperial edict.

Everyone knelt down.

Jin Bao: "By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Ruyi, the Ulanara clan, holds the title of Imperial Noble Consort. She should be both virtuous and talented, a role model for all women. However, she has recently behaved in a reckless and perverse manner. Therefore, she is deposed from her position as Imperial Noble Consort, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to the Shufangzhai (Sufangzhai) in order to clean up the palace. I decree this."

Everyone looked at each other.

……

After everyone left

Jingse asked, "Big sister, what is happening to the Ulanara clan...?"

Jingqin told the story.

Jingse was surprised and asked, "How could the emperor be like this?"

Jingqin said meaningfully, "Jingse, never pin your expectations on others. That will only trap yourself."

Jingse: "Is it the same with the Emperor and the Ulanara family?"

Jingqin: "No, they are simply sick."

Shufangzhai

The carriage went straight to the door of Shufangzhai.

Since it was a trivial matter in the harem, Jingqin handed the order to Su Lujun, A Ruo and Huang Qiying to handle.

Without the status of queen, Hailan's welcome, and the palace where she would not move, Ruyi felt much more lonely as she walked along the long street leading to Shufangzhai.

Sanbao and Jinxin were standing in Shufangzhai Palace waiting with tears in their eyes. Before Ruyi could react, Yu Hu asked her to get out of the car. Then Fulongan left with his men. When Yu Hu left, he also pointed out two maids to Shufangzhai.

Because of Ling Yunche's previous experience, Yu Hu no longer dared to assign guards to Ruyi.

Although Shufangzhai has been uninhabited for many years, its furnishings are exquisite.

But Qin Li got the news from somewhere and replaced all the furnishings in Shufangzhai with wooden ones, claiming that wood was practical and not easily bumped.

Although Rong Pei was angry, she had no way to deal with Qin Li and could only vent her anger by smashing the wooden bowl. Fortunately, wooden products were indeed practical.

Ruyi sat on the wooden bench, confused as to why this had happened. Logically, shouldn't Hongli retain her position as Imperial Noble Consort even though she had cut her hair? Shouldn't he have confined her to Jingren Palace?

How could it be that she was deposed from her position as Imperial Noble Consort and forced to move to another palace? How could her share of the rank be taken away and her hairpins, rings, and jewelry be removed?

Ruyi sat there blankly, puzzled.
