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

Yihuan rejected the olive branch thrown by Prince Kang, but Prince Kang still did not give up and continued to send people to instigate Lin Ruoyao.

Lin Ruoyao is not a fool. Although her father returned to Beijing to take up a post, he was only the Minister of Works (third rank). Her mother's family was not prominent and the prince was still young. If she agreed to marry Prince Kang, wouldn't she be like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?

Lin Ruoyao pretended to be timid and found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Prince Kang, and she quickly informed Jingqin.

Jingqin listened as Wei Yanwan reported, "Princess, Concubine Yan said that Prince Kang had contacted her privately and seemed to be plotting a rebellion."

Jingqin smiled helplessly and said, "This Prince Kang...isn't he too stupid?"

Wei Yanwan asked in confusion, "Princess, why do you say that?"

Hua Nian explained, "Early this morning, the Empress Dowager summoned the Princess to the Cining Palace. Prince Zheng's wife spoke to the Princess about this matter there. Prince Kang has been lobbying the clan members to join him in supporting the Prince's succession to the throne."

Wei Yanwan was surprised and asked, "What do these clan members mean?"

Huanian: "Some clan members have been persuaded by Prince Kang, but most are still waiting and watching."

Jingqin smiled and said, "Not only that, the First and Third Concubine both sent me a message saying there might be unusual movements in the palace."

Wei Yanwan sighed, "This Prince Kang...does he treat everyone as fools?"

Jingqin: "He's not stupid. He also wants to test me. He is so blatant. Doesn't it mean that he thinks I am powerless and can only let him do whatever he wants?"

Wei Yanwan: "No matter what the princess says, she has the support of the Fucha family and the Mongolian private soldiers. How dare he do that?"

Jingqin: "How dare you? Isn't it because you think these people won't fully support me? Since he came to me, don't blame me for killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."

Huanian: "Princess, our troops have entered the palace. The prince consort, the prince, and the two princesses have all been taken to Changchun Palace by Lan Cui. The princess's residence is guarded by Lord Abai."

Jingqin nodded and said, "Wait for the right time."

Jinzhong hurried in and said, "Princess, the emperor is awake!"

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation

Hongli was still unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place outside. After waking up, he was still receiving acupuncture treatment from Xia Zhang in the main hall. When Jinzhong discovered that Hongli had woken up, he hurried to report to Jingqin.

After Jingqin hurried into the Yangxin Palace, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Father Emperor, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for a whole day and night."

Hongli: “&＆￥/%#%?”

Jingqin: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The relatives and ministers have no suspicions. Your Majesty, just focus on recuperating."

Hongli: “Wuwu ...

Jingqin: "I will obey your Majesty."

Everyone:? ? ?

Yu Hu: "How does the princess know what the emperor is talking about?"

Wang Qin: "Maybe it's the father-daughter connection."

Yu Hu nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.

Jingqin said helplessly, "Aunt Yuhu, please go to the Ministry of Punishment to see the Ulanara family first. I will serve you personally here, Your Majesty."

Hongli: “Hmmmmmmmm…”

Yu Hu struggled to understand Hongli's meaning and nodded, saying, "I obey your command."

Jingqin continued to order, "Tell all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to work hard to treat the Emperor."

Hongli: “＆%￥&%#!”

Wang Qin: "Yes, I obey your command."

All the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau came to the Yangxin Palace to treat Hongli. Under the various treatments, Hongli could no longer think about anything and could only passively accept it.

These past two days, Jingqin has been attending the morning court in the Qianqing Palace, serving Hongli in the main hall of the Yangxin Palace at noon, handling state affairs in the side hall in the afternoon, and monitoring Prince Kang's movements in the evening. She is really busy.

Fortunately, Jingse understood Jingqin's difficulties and went into the palace to serve Hongli together, sharing some of the chores with Jingqin.

……

A few days ago, Chang Street

As Yu Hu and his men escorted Ruyi to the Ministry of Punishment, she struggled and cried out, "I am the Emperor's concubine. How can I be sent to the Ministry of Punishment?"

The palace maids and eunuchs were whispering on the long street, and Lin Ruoyao also ran to watch the show after hearing the news.

Hearing Ruyi's scream, Lin Ruoyao said bitterly, "I am also the emperor's concubine. Wasn't it the commoner Wu who forced me to serve in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Ruyi subconsciously retorted, "You are willing to be lowly and deceive the emperor. How can you be considered a concubine in the harem?"

Lin Ruoyao gnashed her teeth in anger, rushed forward and slapped Ruyi hard, cursing, "What a novelty! The concubines in the harem are not counted if the emperor canonizes them, only those you acknowledge count?"

Ruyi was pinned down, and could only let Lin Ruoyao's slap fall on her face. She cried out in grievance, "Yuhu, are you going to let Concubine Yan bully me?"

Yu Hu said coldly, "Commoner Wu, be careful with your words. You have been deposed as a concubine by the Emperor and demoted to a commoner. You may no longer refer to yourself as this concubine. If you do this again, I will have the Jingqi maids teach you a lesson."

Ruyi said angrily, "Even if I am a commoner, I cannot be lectured by Concubine Yan."

Ah Ruo also arrived and, upon hearing this, cursed, "When Wu Shuren was a concubine, it was common for her to send her maids to the Ministry of Punishment. Why is it not the same now that it's her turn?"

Ruyi retorted, "I have only punished the guilty and never implicated the innocent!"

Nanny Tian gnashed her teeth and said, "My servant and I have done nothing wrong to you, yet you are forcing us into the Ministry of Punishment?"

Nanny A chimed in, "Bah! I think it's just that if the stick doesn't hit you, it won't hurt!"

Matron B: "You're scared now. Weren't you very proud when you sent us to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Before they knew it, Ruyi and the others had already arrived at the Ministry of Punishment. Yu Hu said calmly, "Commoner Wu, please come in."

Ruyi was still struggling, saying, "Without any evidence, how can you just take someone to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment?"

Yu Hu raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this what the Wu people often do? It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. Once it is reported to the Ministry of Punishment, it will be confirmed."

Ruyi wanted to argue, but Yuhu was in no mood to listen to her sophistry. She waved her hand and signaled the maids to take Ruyi to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment.

Han Xiangjian and Meiruo rushed over, but because they were not well informed, they were a step late. Yu Hu had already taken Ruyi in for a while.

Han Xiangjian and Meiruo looked at each other, but for Ruyi's sake, they went into the Ministry of Punishment together.

Ministry of Punishment

Ruyi and Haishun were placed on the splints, and the smell of blood filled the Penitentiary. Nanny Jingqi demanded, "Tell me, who ordered you to murder the emperor?"

Yu Hu stood in the darkness and watched the execution coldly.

Haishun cried, "Aunt, I really didn't try to murder the emperor. I was just following his orders!"

Ruyi: "I have never considered murdering the Emperor..."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Jingqi put Ruyi on the splint again and said sinisterly, "Has Commoner Wu learned all the rules? How dare the criminal who poisoned the emperor call himself the concubine? Commoner Wu should learn some proper etiquette."

This was the situation Han Xiangjian and Meiruo encountered as soon as they came in. Both of them were precious little princesses and had never seen such a bloody scene before. They screamed in fright.

Nanny Jingqi turned around with an impatient look on her face, and found that Han Xiangjian and Meiruo had changed their flattering expressions again. She stepped forward and said, "The prison cell is bloody. Why are the two ladies here?"

Meiruo, however, refused to pay any attention to Nanny Jingqi. She turned to Yuhu and pressed him, "Aunt Yuhu, what on earth did the Imperial Noble Consort do wrong to deserve such a severe punishment from the Emperor?"

Yu Hu bowed coldly and replied, "Empress Rong and Empress Ying, there is irrefutable evidence that the commoner Wu is plotting against His Majesty. I am merely following orders."

Han Xiangjian saw Ruyi's miserable state and said angrily, "Even if the Imperial Noble Consort made a mistake, as the Emperor's deposed concubine, how could she be sent to the Ministry of Punishment to be punished?"

Yu Hu said calmly, "Didn't Concubine Yan almost get sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Wu Shuren before? Why is it that Concubine Yan got in, but Wu Shuren couldn't?"

Han Xiang was speechless, and Meiruo was even more defeated by Yuhu. They gave up arguing and planned to talk to Ruyi.

Ruyi was tied up in front of Han Xiangjian and Meiruo, but Han Xiangjian and Meiruo didn't notice her. They were still searching everywhere, shouting, "Royal Noble Consort, Royal Noble Consort..."

Ruyi had been slapped all day, and her face had already swollen like a pig's head. Her clothes were gray and stained with blood, and it didn't look like a palace dress at all.

Han Xiangjian and Meiruo walked straight past Ruyi.

Ruyi endured the severe pain and responded: "Xiangjian, Meiruo..."

Han Xiangjian had just realized Ruyi's presence and cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Royal Noble Consort, is that you?"

Ruyi raised her head and was about to protest against the two of them, but Han Xiangjian and Meiruo were frightened by Ruyi's appearance and screamed.

This was the first time Aunt Jingqi had been ignored in the Ministry of Punishment. Her temper was gone, and she warned them, "You two ladies, please return home after seeing someone. The Ministry of Punishment is a place of bloodshed, not a place for you two nobles to stay for long."

Han Xiangjian and Meiruo wanted to struggle, but they couldn't resist the fear in their hearts. They nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will come back to save you after I think of a way."

With that, the two of them ran out like the wind. Ruyi sobbed in disbelief as she watched them leave the Ministry of Punishment.

Seeing the two leave, Nanny Jingqi stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wu, can you tell me now? Who is Jiangzhou? How did you get to know him?"

Ruyi closed her eyes with a look of pride, and did not want to pay any attention to Jingqi Ma. Jingqi Ma also knew Ruyi's character, and seeing that she ignored her, she stepped forward and prepared to continue the torture.

As expected, Ruyi immediately opened her eyes and sobbed, "Sanbao found Jiangzhou for me. I don't know anything else."

After Yu Hu learned the news, he ordered Sanbao to be arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment, and then hurried back to report to Hongli.

However, Hongli no longer cared about this matter at this time. He ordered Yu Hu to feed Ruyi the drug and then sent Yu Hu away.

Poor Yu Hu followed the order and arrested Rong Pei and Ling Yunche together and took them to the Ministry of Punishment.

Rong Pei and Ling Yunche didn't know what had happened yet, so Yu Hu repeated what Ruyi had done.

Rong Pei's world was falling apart. She ignored Ruyi for a while, and Ruyi dared to poison Hongli. She was sitting in the room, and the blame came from the sky!

Ling Yunche's eyes turned red with rage. He was already a eunuch sweeping the floor, so how could Ruyi still haunt him? What did Ruyi's plot to murder the emperor have to do with him?

Ling Yunche knelt forward and shouted, "Aunt Yuhu, I am innocent! I have had no contact with Wu Shuren since the Emperor assigned me to the Imperial Household Department. I am innocent!"

Yu Hu glanced at Ling Yunche coldly and explained, "Ling Yunche, when Wu Shuren was taken to the Yangxin Palace, he took the prayer flags and asked the emperor to redress the injustices of the people on them. Your name was embroidered on the prayer flag in the center."

Ling Yunche almost wanted to strangle Ruyi to death. How could this be blamed on him?

Ling Yunche came back to his senses and cried out, "Aunt Yuhu! I am innocent! This is all Wu Shuren's wishful thinking. I don't know her at all!"

"Ling Yunche!" Ruyi's scream came from behind.

Ling Yunche and Rong Pei turned around when they heard the sound and were shocked to see that there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on Ruyi's body and her clothes were stained red with blood.

Ling Yunche's sympathy only lasted for a moment. Compared to Ruyi's miserable condition, he cared more about his own life!

Ling Yunche continued, "Aunt Yuhu, it was Wu Shuren who kept pestering me. I never paid any attention to her. What she did has nothing to do with me. I am truly wronged!"

Ruyi retorted, "Ling Yunche, it was you who kept coming to me, asking me to find you a good job!"

Ling Yunche ignored her crying and begging, saying angrily, "Is it wrong for me to want a good job? I've been through so much trouble with you, what's wrong with asking for some benefits?"

Ruyi: “You…”

Rong Pei watched Ruyi and Ling Yunche fighting each other coldly. Seeing that time was almost up, Yu Hu stepped forward and interrupted, "That's enough, Madam Qian."

Nanny Jingqi stepped forward and said, "Aunt Yuhu."

Yu Hu: "How much punishment has Wu Shuren received so far?"

Aunt Jingqi: "Aunt, Wu Shuren has already received twelve punishments. It's just... it's just... Wu Shuren only said that Jiang Zhou was found by Sanbao, and she knows nothing else."

Yu Hu: "Then there's no need for further trial. Let's just go straight to the torture."

Ruyi opened her eyes wide and was about to cry out for justice, but Nanny Jingqi quickly grabbed Ruyi.

Yu Hu: "Doctor Zhang, go and keep an eye on him."

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing such a big situation, Rong Pei and Ling Yunche didn't bother to protest their innocence. They leaned against the wall and prayed in their hearts that Yu Hu would forget about them.

Although Yu Hu was unreliable in major matters, he was always careful and managed to put Ling Yunche and Rong Pei in jail cleanly and efficiently.

The cell was facing the torture chamber. The two could not only see Ruyi being tortured, but also Sanbao being tried, with Haishun also tied up nearby.

Yu Hu: "The emperor has ordered, Haishun, to be killed."

Rong Pei and Ling Yunche trembled with fear as they watched Haishun being dragged out.

……

Sanbao revealed everything he knew, but was still punished for conspiracy. Rong Pei and Ling Yunche were devastated after seeing two lives lost in just one day.

Yu Hu naturally did not let the two go. After breaking down their psychological defenses, Yu Hu informed them of Hongli's order. Then Nanny Jingqi also dragged Wu Shu Ren into the cell.

Yu Hu: "Doctor Zhang, please prepare the poison."

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "I obey your command."

Ruyi didn't know what was going on and asked, "What poison?"

Ling Yunche said sinisterly, "Doesn't Wu Shuren know this? You are plotting to murder the Emperor. You deserve death. The Emperor has already ordered the two of us to feed you the poison that will cause you to drink."

Ruyi crawled to the door of the cell and struggled, "Impossible, Yuhu! The Emperor would never do this to me! Yuhu! The Emperor would never do this to me!"

Yu Hu was also a little unsure. Although Hongli was already furious, she was also afraid that Hongli would come to his senses in the future and take his anger out on her when he remembered Ruyi's death.

The timid Yu Hu wanted to ask again, but remained calm and said, "When Wu Shuren poisoned the emperor, did he ever think that this day would come?"

Yu Hu turned to Doctor Zhang and whispered, "My lord, wait for me to come back before giving the poison to Ling Yunche and Rong Pei."

Doctor Zhang: "Yes."

Then Yu Hu turned and left.

……

After Yu Hu came back, he nodded to Doctor Zhang, who handed the prepared poison to Rong Pei through the window.

Rong Pei took the poison and slowly walked forward. Ruyi struggled frantically, but Ling Yunche held her down tightly. Ruyi had no choice but to be forced by Rong Pei to drink the poison.

Soon, the poison took effect and Ruyi fell to the ground, enduring severe pain. But when Ruyi thought she was going to die, Doctor Zhang asked Rong Pei to feed her the antidote.

Ruyi thought Hongli had softened his heart and asked, "Did the emperor let me go?"

Ling Yunche sneered and said, "I'm afraid Wu Shuren is overthinking it. The emperor has been hurt so much by you, how could he let you go? The emperor has commanded that you must not die easily."

Rong Pei also came forward with the poison and said, "Since Wu Shu Ren is awake, then continue drinking."

……

After Fu Cha Langya heard the news that Jingqin had succeeded to the throne, she rushed to the capital with Yonglian, Gao Xiyue and others, and arrived five days before the enthronement ceremony.

Jingqin and Jingse were too busy to greet him in person. After Fucha Langya entered the palace, she hurriedly brought Yonglian to the Yangxin Palace.

Side Hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Jingqin and Jingse rushed forward and hugged Fucha Langya. Yonglian, who was standing behind them, teased helplessly, "Why don't the eldest sister and the third sister have me in their hearts?"

Jingqin and Jingse smiled.

The four of them talked in the side hall for the whole afternoon.

Fu Cha Langya returned to the palace and took over the messy harem. She dealt with all the servants who had ulterior motives. Everyone in the harem was in danger, and some people did not dare to help Prince Kang in his actions.

Yonglian did not stay long. After leaving the palace and returning to Prince Bao's mansion, he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

Jingse's burden was largely shared by Fucha Langya, and now she takes turns with Jingqin to look after Hongli.
