Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome
Chapter 121 The Scum Dragon is Hit
Yangxindian
Haishun walked in carefully carrying the chicken soup.
Hongli and Jingqin sat opposite each other, Hongli leisurely reading the memorials while Jingqin wrote furiously on them.
Seeing Haishun approaching, Hongli looked up and asked, "What did Ulanara say?"
Haishun: "Princess Yi said she has nightmares every night and is very worried about the emperor. She specially made cooked... cooked chicken soup and sent this servant to present it to the emperor."
Hongli nodded, and Yu Hu understood. He stepped forward and took the tray from Haishun's hand, carefully placed it next to Hongli, and lifted the lid of the soup bowl.
Hongli frowned as he looked at the dark soup, but couldn't resist the anxiety in his heart, so he picked it up and took a sip. Haishun saw the opportunity and quietly withdrew.
Jingqin was still furiously reviewing the memorials, not noticing anything wrong.
After taking a sip, Hongli continued to pick up the memorial and was about to continue reading it. Suddenly, he felt unwell and the memorial in his hand fell to the ground.
"Snapped--"
Hearing the noise, Jingqin and Yuhu looked at Hongli in confusion, and Hongli suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Huang Ama?!"
"emperor!"
Jingqin and Yuhu were stunned and rushed forward to support Hongli on the left and right.
Hearing the shouts, the imperial guards and eunuchs rushed in, looking at the blood on the ground and exclaimed, "Your Majesty?!"
Jingqin said anxiously, "What are you still standing there for? Go get the imperial physician!"
Jinzhong was so frightened that his soul was about to be shattered that he quickly said, "Yes, yes, I will go and get the imperial physician."
Jingqin asked worriedly, "Father Emperor! Father Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
Hongli's vision went dark as he recalled the dark memories of the past. He forced himself to hold on and said through gritted teeth, "U... Ulanara clan!"
Yu Hu asked, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Hongli panted, "Ru... Ruyi, Muer... go and bring her to me!"
After saying this, Hongli vomited blood again and fainted.
Mur took the order and left. Jingqin looked around and found that Haishun was gone. She ordered, "Bring Haishun, who delivered the medicine for Ruyi, to me!"
Jinbao nodded and left with the two eunuchs.
Shufangzhai
Ruyi knelt in front of the Buddha and sorted out the prayer flags she had embroidered over the past few days. After putting them neatly in place, she sat up straight and chanted the scriptures with her hands clasped together.
Mu Er led his men into Shufangzhai, grabbed Rong Pei and asked her where Ruyi had been, then rushed into the Buddhist hall without stopping. Rong Pei was also escorted into the Buddhist hall by the guards.
Rong Pei was pinned down and cried for help, "Master!"
Ruyi seemed not to notice anything was wrong and continued to recite with her eyes closed. Mur snorted coldly and signaled to his left and right.
The guards understood and stepped forward to put the knife on Ruyi's neck.
Ruyi paused in her chanting as she felt the coldness of the sword. She could no longer pretend to be indifferent and said in a hoarse voice, "Although I have been deposed, I am still the emperor's concubine. What do you want to do?"
Moore sneered and said, "The emperor has ordered that the criminal Ulanara be taken to the Yangxin Palace to await his fate."
Ruyi panicked and said, "Impossible! The Emperor would never treat me like this! Is it Princess Yongle..."
Mu Er interrupted, "If Wu Shu Ren has anything to say, please go before the Emperor and make your case. Do you want to go on your own, or do you want us to help you?"
Ruyi was so frightened by the sword on her neck that she lost her soul and said tremblingly, "I will go by myself."
Ruyi stood up and tried to reach out to take out the prayer flags from under the shrine, but Mur was quick-witted and kicked Ruyi to her knees. The maids rushed forward to hold Ruyi down.
Mur said coldly: "Wu Shuren, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."
Ruyi explained, "I have something to bring to the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Mur signaled his attendants to come forward and search. Guard A went forward and found a pile of prayer flags. He brought them forward and reported, "Master Mur, there are only a pile of rags."
Ruyi couldn't break free and could only continue, "That's what I want to bring to His Majesty."
Although Ruyi didn't know what had happened, she always felt that Jingqin had colluded with Concubine Mei to harm her, so she wanted to take the prayer flags with her in case of emergency.
Moore looked at the rag in Guard A's hand suspiciously, then looked at Ruyi, whose mind was not normal, and said helplessly: "Then take them together."
Yangxindian
Hongli was supported and slowly lay down on the bed. Xia Zhang hurried into the hall and was about to pay his respects when Jingqin hurriedly said, "No need to pay your respects. Imperial Physician Xia will treat the Emperor immediately."
Xia Zhang nodded slightly, stepped forward and took Hongli's pulse.
Xia Zhang's expression grew increasingly solemn. He then knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice, "Princess, the poison His Majesty was poisoned with was the highly toxic Crane's Beak Poison! Fortunately, the dose His Majesty took was small. I can only attempt to induce vomiting and then use acupuncture to draw out the poisonous blood."
When the people in front of the emperor heard this, their faces changed drastically.
Jingqin looked at Hongli worriedly and nodded, "Doctor Xia, you must do your best to save the emperor."
Xia Zhang said solemnly: "I will do my best."
Xia Zhang opened the medicine box with a serious expression, took out a long needle, and accurately inserted it into Hongli's Neiguan, Zhongwan and Zusanli acupoints. Then he made Hongli drink two large pots of tea, and inserted the long needle into Hongli's fingers to drain the poisonous blood.
Hongli was already in great pain after being poisoned, and after Xia Zhang's treatment, he felt even more uncomfortable, as if his fingers were connected to his heart.
Fortunately, Yu Hu was well prepared and had already prepared a spittoon. After Hongli was awakened by the pain, he couldn't help but throw himself to the head of the bed and vomit out everything in his stomach.
After vomiting, Hongli fainted from the pain again. This went on and on. Hongli was tortured to the point of extreme pain, and he wished he could cut the culprit into pieces.
At this moment, Mur walked in and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Princess, Ulanara has been taken outside the palace."
Hongli's rage finally found a place to vent, and he didn't care about the pain anymore. He said angrily: "Bring this bitch in here!"
Xia Zhang wanted to say something but stopped himself. Hongli was old and often fainted, which was a sign of a stroke. He shouldn't get angry anymore. But looking at Hongli's paranoid face, Xia Zhang didn't dare to persuade him anymore. He could only take things one step at a time.
Ruyi was brought in by the maids in a dishevel. She was well behaved on the way here, but started struggling again when she saw Hongli.
The maids were not fools. As soon as Ruyi struggled, they let go. Ruyi lost her balance and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Ruyi quickly got up from the ground. Seeing that Hongli was staring at her, she tidied herself up, not wanting to show embarrassment in front of Hongli.
Ever since Ruyi came in, Hongli couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. Ruyi was completely unaware of it and thought that Hongli was thinking about her. When she saw the opened soup bowl on the table, she was overjoyed.
Hongli opened his mouth to scold him, but he started coughing violently due to excitement. Jingqin hurried forward and patted his back, saying, "Father Emperor! Imperial Physician Xia told you not to get excited."
Hongli kept coughing, and Ruyi wanted to go forward, but she couldn't resist the stubbornness in her heart and stood there. Seeing Jingqin coming forward to pat him on the back, Ruyi couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart and said coldly: "Since the emperor has woken up, then I will take my leave."
Ruyi then pinched the hem of her skirt and raised her foot to leave.
Nuns:?
Guards:?
Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Ulanara couldn't see the situation clearly? Didn't she think she could come and go as she pleased in the imperial court?
Ruyi thought that Hongli was trying to scare her and wanted to see her again. She came here in a hurry, thinking that Hongli was dying and Jingqin was colluding with Lin Ruoyao to harm her. Now that Hongli is fine, doesn't she have to continue her cold war?
Hongli was so angry at Ruyi's actions that he started coughing again, having suppressed it with great difficulty.
Mur understood what Yayi meant and drew his sword, stepped forward and put it on Ruyi's neck. Ruyi was stunned. The maids reacted and stepped forward to arrest Ruyi.
Perhaps knowing that Ruyi's mind was not normal, the maids did not dare to let go and forced Ruyi to kneel on the ground.
Moore sneered, "Does Wu Shuren really think that you can come and go as you please in the Imperial Court?"
Ruyi felt very aggrieved. It had always been like this before! Why couldn't it work now?
Ruyi looked around, finally locking her gaze on Jingqin, and said in a hoarse voice, "Princess Yongle, I have never offended you. Why are you trying to murder me?"
Jingqin was stunned. Jingqin was confused. Jingqin was puzzled. The people who took Ruyi away were Hongli's men. How could Ruyi put the blame on her?
Wei Yanwan stepped forward and slapped Ruyi twice, cursing, "Shut up! How dare you flirt with the princess so casually?"
Ruyi was surprised that Wei Yanwan would actually hit her. She shouted to Hongli, "Your Majesty, are you just going to let Princess Yongle bully me like this?"
Hongli sneered, "You deliberately plotted to murder me. You deserve to be cut into pieces. What are a few slaps?"
Ruyi was stunned and retorted, "When did I ever try to murder the emperor?"
Seeing that Ruyi was determined to keep her from giving up, Hongli looked up and signaled Xia Zhang to test the poison.
Xia Zhang had experienced this once before, and was now very familiar with it. He took out a silver needle and put it into the soup bowl to stir it. In just half a minute, when he took it out, the silver needle had turned black.
Hongli said coldly, "What else do you have to say? You are afraid that I won't die by pouring such a poisonous soup pot."
Jingqin was a bit overwhelmed. Things were progressing too smoothly. How could Hongli identify Ruyi as the murderer so quickly? Shouldn't Hongli first suspect the eunuch who delivered the medicine, the people who served in the imperial court, and the imperial kitchen?
Jingqin didn't know that when Hongli was a prince, he almost lost his life because of soup, and she didn't know that it was Ruyi's good aunt, Ulanara Yixiu, who put Hongli to death.
Jingqin's plan accidentally reminded Hongli of the thrilling incident of that year. Naturally, Hongli would be the first to suspect Ruyi, a member of the Ulanara clan. What's more, Ruyi had a history of poisoning the eldest prince with food in this life.
Ruyi was a little bit incredulous when she heard Hongli's words, and she stumbled back, "No...it wasn't me who did it..."
Hongli said coldly, "Didn't you give me this soup bowl?"
Ruyi's mind was in a mess. She only asked Jiangzhou to use some chronic poison that would make people drowsy. How could it be a deadly poison?
Ruyi was about to explain when Jinbao came in and interrupted, "Your Majesty, Princess, Haishun, who brought soup for Ulanara, has been taken outside the palace."
Jingqin frowned and said, "Why is it taking so long? Bring it in."
Jinbao explained, "I led my men to search for Haishun for a long time, and finally captured him in a side hall of the Yangxin Palace."
Haishun was dragged in and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Princess, I am truly innocent. I didn't know that Ulanara asked me to deliver poisonous soup!"
Jingqin asked sternly, "Don't you know? Don't you know what you're doing hiding in the side hall? Don't you know that the Imperial Court is short of manpower?"
Haishun said hurriedly, "I originally wanted to guard the door after delivering the soup, but I didn't expect the emperor to faint after drinking the poisoned soup. I was afraid... afraid of being punished, so I thought of hiding in the side hall and waiting for the emperor to wake up before coming out..."
Hongli frowned and said, "Discipline? Who will discipline you?"
Haishun looked up at Jingqin, then quickly lowered his eyebrows. The people in front of the emperor were all shrewd people, so how could they not see that Haishun was afraid of Jingqin?
Just as Jingqin was about to step forward, Hongli grabbed her sleeve. Jingqin looked at Hongli, endured the anger, and sat down in front of Hongli's bed with her head lowered.
Ruyi was confident after seeing Haishun's actions. She had done nothing wrong! She just wanted Hongli to see the true colors of Lin Ruoyao and Jingqin.
Ruyi regained her confidence and raised her head, saying, "I didn't poison you. Someone must have tried to murder me!"
Hongli was so angry that he laughed and said, "You made the soup, and you asked Haishun to deliver the soup bowl. No one else has touched it. How can you be accused of murder?"
Ruyi said calmly, "Although I made the soup, I did not poison it. Someone else is plotting to murder the Emperor!"
After saying that, Ruyi kept staring at Jingqin.
Hongli sneered, "Are you saying that Jingqin was in the Yangxin Palace and could have predicted that you would make soup and send it to the Yangxin Palace today, so she sent someone to Shufangzhai to poison you?"
Ruyi also realized that her words were untenable, but she still stubbornly said, "I am tired of saying the word innocent. I didn't do it, and that's it. If the emperor insists on saying that I harmed him, then I have no way to defend myself!"
Hongli gnashed his teeth and said, "The Ulanara family poisoned the emperor and murdered him. This is truly a heinous crime. Drag them down and execute them by slow slicing!"
The maids took Ruyi away, but she struggled to the point of not being able to move. Then she realized that Hongli was serious. The fear of death frightened Ruyi so much that she dared not be stubborn anymore. She quickly said, "Imperial Physician Jiang was there when I was making the soup, and that proves I didn't poison you!"
Hongli: "Moore, go find him."
Moore: "Yes, I obey your command."
Hongli stared at Ruyi sinisterly, and Ruyi didn't dare to act arrogantly anymore. She was forced to kneel on the ground obediently.
The two of them just looked at each other in silence, Jingqin also sat aside with her head down and kept silent. No one in the imperial presence dared to breathe, for fear of incurring Hongli's anger.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally Moore hurried over and reported: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Jiang Zhou has escaped from the palace!"
