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

Xia Zhang broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. He said calmly, "I am about to give the Emperor an acupuncture treatment. Please step aside."

Jingqin nodded and said to Hongli, "Father, I will go to the side hall to review the memorials."

Hongli: "Go ahead. Wang Qin stays."

After Jingqin left, the rest of the people also left the hall, and only Wang Qin stayed to take care of them.

Xia Zhang frowned. After taking Hongli's pulse, he took out a whole set of long needles from the medicine box and pricked Hongli like a hedgehog. Wang Qin was terrified watching from the side.

Xia Zhang asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please try to raise your arm."

Hongli raised his arm with difficulty, but it only went up an inch. Xia Zhang was even more frightened when he saw this.

Xia Zhang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is a sign of a stroke..."

Hongli's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, "Xia Zhang, is there any other solution?"

Xia Zhang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, a stroke cannot be cured. I can only use acupuncture to slightly alleviate the symptoms. Your Majesty...you should make plans early."

After hearing Xia Zhang's words, Hongli's heart sank. He angrily shouted, "Useless! Wang Qin, summon all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital!"

Wang Qin advised, "Your Majesty, if this continues... I'm afraid everyone in the palace will know about you... This will cause instability in the court."

Hongli was furious, but unable to move, and could only rage helplessly.

Not long after, Yu Hu hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Hai Shun only said that he was following orders. Wu Shuren said that San Bao had found the criminal Jiang Zhou for her, and she knew nothing about it."

Hongli said coldly, "Then take Sanbao to the Ministry of Punishment."

Yu Hu: "Yes."

Hongli: "Regardless of whether Ulanara knew about this or not, she was the one who sent me the soup, and she was the one who poisoned Jiangzhou. She does not need to be tried again. After she is punished by the Ministry of Punishment, you take Rong Pei and feed her the poison."

Yu Hu was terrified and said, "...Yes..."

Then Yu Hu wanted to leave.

Hongli added, "Send Imperial Physician Zhang to accompany us. Ruyi must not be allowed to die. Bring Ling Yunche with me as well. If the two of them refuse to take the medicine, they will die. Haishun, kill them."

Yu Hu nodded and said, "Yes...I obey your command."

After Hongli finished speaking, he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Side Hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Hua Nian and Wei Yanwan waited on Jing Qin on either side. Jin Zhong cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, I have already done what you asked me to do."

Jingqin nodded and said, "Yeah. You did a good job. Okay, you go out and keep watch."

Jinzhong wanted to speak, but when he saw Hua Nian and Wei Yanwan standing beside him, he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

Jingqin watched Jinzhong leave and asked, "Huanian, is everything done?"

Huanian nodded and said, "Princess, I have sent a message back to the Princess's residence."

Jingqin looked at Huanian and then at Wei Yanwan, and said with a smile, "If you don't dare, you can still leave the palace now."

Huanian: "I swear to follow the princess until death."

Wei Yanwan: "So do I."

Jingqin: "Okay, in that case, let's give it a try!"

Huanian and Wei Yanwan nodded.

Jingqin took out the edict that had been written long ago from her sleeve, and easily found the place where Hongli hid the secret edict. After taking a look at the secret edict, she decisively replaced it.

Jingqin returned to her desk when she heard Jinzhong's voice from the doorway: "Princess, Princess, the Emperor has summoned you."

Jingqin agreed, adjusted her expression, then walked out the door and hurried to the main hall.

Hall of Mental Cultivation

Jingqin came in and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

Hongli: "No need to be polite, please sit down."

Jingqin: “Yes.”

Even though Hongli was unwilling, he had to make the decision for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. After struggling in his heart for a long time, he couldn't help but compromise.

Hongli sighed and said, "Jingqin, go and call all the clan members and ministers."

Jingqin nodded and said, "Yes, Father Huang."

After saying that, Jingqin stood up and was about to leave.

Hongli shouted, "Jingqin, your brothers are ignorant. You will have to take care of the Qing Dynasty in the future. You will always be the princess who protects the country of the Qing Dynasty."

Jingqin paused, turned around and replied with a smile: "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry."

After Jingqin finished speaking, she bowed and left.

Hongli looked at Jingqin's back, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

……

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

All the clan members and ministers came to the Yangxin Palace. Seeing such a grand ceremony, everyone was whispering among themselves.

……

Inside the Yangxin Hall

Jingqin came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the clan members and ministers have all arrived."

Hongli nodded and was about to call someone in when Yu Hu hurried in and interrupted, "Your Majesty, Ulanara refuses to admit her mistakes and refuses to die. She has been crying out in injustice in prison, saying... saying..."

Hongli asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Hu: "When it comes to saying that the emperor is incompetent, I'd rather believe a treacherous villain like Lin Ruoyao than her."

Hongli laughed in anger and said, "Isn't it enough that I trust her? No need to be lenient. If she doesn't want to drink, just force her to drink it."

After saying this, Hongli was still not satisfied and continued, "Wang Qin, issue an order immediately. The deposed Consort Ulanara has harbored evil intentions and dared to poison the emperor. This is a heinous crime of regicide, which cannot be redeemed by death. All nine generations of her family must be exterminated.

In view of Empress Xiaogongren's benevolence, the Ulanara clan will be exterminated. Men will never be allowed to serve as officials in the court, and women will never be allowed to enter the palace as concubines."

Wang Qin and Yu Hu exchanged a glance, realizing that the Ulanara family was beyond redemption. Wang Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I will obey your command."

Yu Hu also nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Wang Qin stepped forward and announced the decree, “By the will of Heaven, the Emperor declares: The deposed Consort Ulanara harbored evil intentions and poisoned His Majesty to death. This is a heinous crime of regicide, for which death alone is inexplicable. Her entire clan shall be exterminated.”

In view of Empress Xiaogongren's benevolence, the Ulanara clan will be exterminated. The men of the clan will never be allowed to serve as officials in the court, and the women will never be allowed to enter the palace as concubines."

There was an uproar in front of the palace, and only Liu Tongxun stepped forward and asked, "How is the emperor now?"

Wang Qin was speechless and replied, "The emperor was poisoned and is still recovering."

The hall was now bustling with activity, but the people inside were completely unaware of the situation. Hongli continued to order, "Jinzhong, Jinbao, help me get outside the hall. I have something to tell you."

Jinzhong said worriedly, "Your Majesty, what if the ministers discover that you can't stand? There are so many eyes watching you outside the palace."

Hongli was a little hesitant. He didn't want the ministers to find out that he was unable to walk now, otherwise he would not be able to continue to hold power even if he recovered in the future. Today he just wanted Jingqin to take Yongyan and Yongqi to supervise the country while he found an excuse to go to another palace to recuperate.

Jingqin: "How about your Majesty invite the relatives and ministers in? Just tell them that you are recuperating and shouldn't be exposed to the wind."

Hongli thought for a moment and nodded, "Just do as Jingqin said. Yuhu, go call someone in."

Xia Zhang reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine."

Jinzhong quickly brought the bowl of medicine, and Hongli was helped by Jingqin to sit up and drink the medicine in one gulp.

Yu Hu went out and announced, "My Lords, the Emperor calls you in."

The ministers nodded and filed in.

Inside the Yangxin Hall

The ministers saluted and said, "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor. Long live His Majesty."

Hongli was helped to sit up and said, "No need to formalities. I summoned you to the palace today because I have something to tell you. I plan to go to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate for a year, and all affairs will be handled by Jingqin during this time."

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Tongxun could no longer help but said, "If the emperor wants to rest, why not appoint a crown prince first and let him handle the affairs."

Of course Hongli refused. If he appointed a crown prince, how could he continue to be the emperor who could call the wind and rain? He just wanted to recuperate for a few years, not for a lifetime!

Hongli said coldly, "Oh? Then what do you have for me, my dear?"

Liu Tongxun knew Hongli's bad temper, so he naturally didn't dare to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth. He just said: "The eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince... all are fine.

The Emperor's several "adult" princes are all outstanding, but the main thing... the main thing... is that the Emperor must first appoint a crown prince, just in case."

Liu Tongxun made his point very clear. He was afraid that something might happen to Hongli again, so he had to have a backup plan to prevent the Qing Dynasty from falling into the hands of others.

Hongli didn't expect that before he died, several of his good ministers were already thinking about his affairs after his death. He glanced around and found that all the ministers agreed with Liu Tongxun's statement. Hongli was so angry that he started coughing again.

Jingqin was stunned and quickly tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let's talk things over. Lord Liu, Your Majesty is in his prime. Why should you worry so much?"

Prince Kang, a relative of the clan, retorted, "Princess Yongle, although that is true, the Emperor's safety is closely related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty. Why can't we make plans earlier?"

Hongli suppressed his cough and panted, "I have already hidden the secret decree of succession in a place according to the old custom of my father. If there is any accident, Yu Hu and Wang Qin who are beside me will jointly announce the successor."

Liu Tongxun finally gave up and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

Hongli wanted to continue giving orders, but he started coughing again. As he coughed, phlegm got stuck in his throat. He wanted to struggle, but his limbs were too weak. It was not until his face turned purple that Jingqin realized something was wrong.

Jingqin called out quickly, "Father Emperor? Imperial Physician Xia, Imperial Physician Xia!"

Xia Zhang hurried forward to treat him.

With the help of Xia Zhang, Hongli finally spat out the phlegm, but the expressions of the ministers had changed.

Prince Kang asked directly, "Doctor Xia, how is the emperor's health? We are very worried."

Xia Zhang was sweating profusely and stammering, unable to speak.

Hongli wanted to speak, but he only uttered: "%#%&&￥..."

Prince Kang asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Hongli: "&￥%&..."

Hongli found that he couldn't even control his mouth and his face was horrified.

The clan members came forward and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, your mouth seems to be crooked!"

Hongli: "&￥%＆￥%&&!"

Jingqin: "Doctor Xia!"

Xia Zhang could only give Hongli acupuncture treatment frantically, but with little effect. Not only was Hongli unable to speak, he also drooled.

The ministers were shocked.

Hongli's embarrassing appearance was seen by all the relatives and ministers, and he finally couldn't bear the blow and fainted.

Prince Kang looked at Xia Zhang with suspicion and asked, "What happened to the emperor?"

Xia Zhang lowered his head and said nothing.

Prince Kang looked at Jingqin again, and the ministers also looked at Jingqin. Jingqin remained silent.

Prince Kang sneered and said, "Now that things have come to this, it's better to bring out the secret decree."

Yu Hu was at a loss, but Liu Tongxun interrupted, "Wait, let's call all the princes, ministers, and concubines, and let's discuss the succession together."

Yu Hu and Wang Qin both looked at Jing Qin, who could only say sadly, "In that case, let's listen to Lord Liu. Let's go get the secret decree now.

Jinzhong, Jinbao, take everyone to the Qianqing Palace. Don't leave the Emperor alone. Imperial Physician Xia, Muer, I'm sorry to bother you two with the Emperor."

Jinzhong/Jinbao/Xia Zhang/Moore: "Yes."

The ministers nodded.

Side Hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation

In front of all the ministers, Yu Hu took out the secret box from under the shrine and held it in his hands. Then, all the ministers followed Jing Qin to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the prince and his concubines to arrive.

The royal family and ministers stood on the left, the concubines and princes on the right. Jingqin, Wang Qin, and Yu Hu stood in the middle.

Jingqin took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have summoned you all today because the Emperor was poisoned by the deposed Consort Ulanara and has been in a coma ever since.

To ensure the stability of the country, the Emperor left behind a secret decree, designating the successor. Now that the Emperor is in a coma, Yongle dares to read the decree in front of you all. Please bear witness."

Liu Tongxun nodded and said, "I will obey your orders."

Prince Kang: "So do I."

Yi Jishan: "Your humble servant..."

……

Jingqin wiped away her nonexistent tears and whispered, "Aunt Yuhu, Eunuch Wangqin, please announce the decree."

Yu Hu/Wang Qin: "Yes."

Yu Hu walked forward holding the box, and Wang Qin carefully took out the secret decree.
