Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome
Chapter 16: A Ruo is punished (Extended Version!)
Ever since Bai Ruiji came out of confinement, there have been rumors in the palace that "Bai Ruiji gave birth to a monster." Bai Ruiji had suffered from premature birth and difficult labor, and the imperial physician predicted that she would never get pregnant again. Bai Ruiji, who originally wanted to soar to fame with a child, was directly sent to hell.
Now, Bai Ruiji relied on this rumor and held on to her life with hatred. Although her illness was not cured, she did not remain silent like in her previous life. She would still wander around from time to time, just to find out about her child.
Bai Ruiji originally wanted to ask the Queen directly, but the Queen was busy dealing with the rumors and had no time to see her for a small promise. She also didn't dare to make a scene in Changchun Palace, because Jingqin took Jingse and Yonglian to practice martial arts in Changchun Palace every day. Jingqin waved her whip and danced vigorously.
Even the concubines who were paying their respects in the front hall heard it clearly. Ruyi, who always liked to doze off while paying her respects, sat upright these days and did not dare to pretend as before.
Locust's disciples
Bai Ruiji had inquired for several days and knew that besides the Queen, Ruyi was also present at the time. So after the greetings were dispersed, she hurriedly stopped Ruyi and said, "Empress Xian, please stay."
Ruyi didn't understand what was going on, so she just stood there and waited for Bai Ruiji to speak.
Bai Ruiji suddenly grabbed Ruyi's hand and demanded, "Empress Xian, ever since I gave birth, my sisters have been avoiding me. Why is that?"
Ruyi didn't understand what Bai Ruiji meant, so she answered honestly, "In the palace, concubines who are familiar with each other usually leave together. Bai promised to enter the palace not long ago and doesn't know our rules. She just needs to get used to it now."
Bai Ruiji was already a bit crazy, and when she heard Ruyi mention the rules, she became even more crazy and said to Ruyi, "Empress Xian, I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed of my child, who kept lamenting to me. Do you know what he said?"
Ruyi was confused and frightened by Bai Ruiji's appearance. She also thought of the freak at that time and shuddered. She wanted to pull her hand back and turn around to run, but her hand was held tightly by Bai Ruiji and she couldn't pull it back.
After Bai Ruiji finished speaking, she stared at Ruyi's expression. Sure enough, Ruyi knew! Bai Ruiji intensified her anger and whispered in Ruyi's ear, "He said, 'Mother, my child died so tragically! Mother, why didn't you help me get revenge?'"
Ruyi was terrified and screamed, "It's none of my business, A'ruo, Suo Xin!"
Seeing Bai Ruiji embarrass Ruyi like this, A Ruo rushed forward to pull Bai Ruiji's hand away, pulled Ruyi behind her, and glared at Bai Ruiji, saying, "What is Bai doing? Have you forgotten the rules? How dare you go up and pull the main lady!"
Bai Ruiji no longer cared and stormed towards A Ruo, "Empress Xian, you were there when I gave birth, so you must know something! Tell me! What happened to my child?"
As Bai Ruiji was pulling and tugging like this, people passing by stopped to watch the show.
Seeing Bai Ruiji's moral blackmail, A Ruo couldn't stand it any longer. She was sharp-tongued and rushed forward to mock her, "Bai, you know how to feel sorry for your child now? Why did you flaunt your child before? Why didn't you feel sorry for the royal heir in your belly?"
Now that the heir is gone, you're acting like a loving mother? Ugh! Bai promised to stop pretending! If you really cared about your child, would you eat fish and shrimp without permission? Even our Chengqian Palace is reeking of fish and shrimp!
Now that the heir is gone, I feel sorry for my child! I remember what Bai promised to say at that time? Oh, by the way, if you don’t meet happiness, you are not blessed~
Unlike Bai Da Ying, is she blessed or not? Yes, Bai Da Ying has now been spared the hardship of having children, which is a blessing that many people cannot obtain.
Seeing that A'ruo was getting more and more outrageous and Ruyi was pretending to be a cricket behind A'ruo,惢心 hurried forward and grabbed A'ruo's hand, whispering a reminder: "Sister A'ruo."
Bai Ruiji was furious with Ah Ruo and shouted angrily, "You, you little dog slave! I will punish you severely!"
With Ruyi standing behind A Ruo, she was naturally fearless.
Ruyi also connected and said calmly, "Aruo is being insolent. I will punish her severely when I get back."
Bai Ruiji was furious and pointed at Ruyi and shouted, "You!"
After hearing what Ruyi said, A Ruo became even more arrogant.
Gao Xiyue walked over slowly and snorted coldly, "What do you mean by 'I'll be punished when I get back'? You should be beaten to death immediately for making such a bold move in the palace! Who allowed you to make such a fuss and talk nonsense in the palace?"
Ruyi turned around and saw Gao Xiyue with a cold face.
Ruyi secretly thought it was bad, but she still kept smiling and said, "Aruo was impulsive and said something inappropriate. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Ah Ruo immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."
Su Yun snorted coldly, "Wu Xin can say such harsh words! It shows how mean-spirited he is in private!"
Gao Xiyue didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, after all, both of them had a grudge against her, but A Ruo kept going too far, and the Queen Mother couldn't intervene, so she had to come.
(Can you understand? Ruyi and the Queen were both involved in Bai Ruiji's pregnancy with a freak baby. If the Queen came to mediate, not only would Bai Ruiji not obey, but she would also become desperate and would bite the Queen and Ruyi.)
Although Gao Xiyue admired A Ruo's loyalty, what A Ruo said was really too much, so she could only persuade Bai Ruiji to leave first: "Bai promised, you can go back to the palace to rest. I will make the decision for you."
Bai Ruiji was a little exhausted at this time. She was surprised that Gao Xiyue would make the decision for her. She did not argue with her and planned to leave after thanking Gao Xiyue.
(This is a patch. I'm not trying to weaken the Qing Dynasty's top Baturu's combat effectiveness. It's mainly because of the different timing. Bai Ruiji just gave birth, and it was a premature and difficult birth that seriously damaged her vitality. Her postpartum weakness hasn't been cured yet, and she doesn't have any core equipment. How can she beat A Ruo who is in full health?)
Gao Xiyue stepped forward, pinched A Ruo's chin, and said, "That mouth is like a knife. Are you relying on Concubine Xian's favor, or your father's slight favor, to really think you are a princess?"
A Ruo begged for mercy, "I dare not," and kept looking back as if asking for help at Ruyi.
Ruyi didn't dare to look at A Ruo, so she lowered her head and acted like a grasshopper, shaking her head helplessly.
A Ruo's heart sank at that moment, and she knelt down obediently.
Gao Xiyue continued, "Zhu Si Men symbolizes the prosperity of the descendants of the Qing Dynasty. How dare you say you have no children in front of the Zhui Men? You're truly asking for your life! You even dare to mock the heir to the throne?"
Ah Ruo knew Ruyi would not save her, so she could only beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Gao Xiyue looked at Ruyi's cowardly expression and smiled arrogantly, continuing, "How dare you say such treasonous words in front of the Locust Gate? I must punish you out of respect for our ancestors."
Gao Xiyue gave a wink, and Mo Xin and Xing Xuan stepped forward to catch A Ruo.
Of course, Ah Ruo refused to give in and struggled to beg for mercy, "My Lady, spare my life! My Lord, save me!"
On the long street, a group of servants watched the show. Ruyi, having been yelled at by A Ruo, could no longer pretend to be a cricket. She quickly stopped in front of A Ruo and said, "Stop! A Ruo is at fault, but please, Imperial Concubine, allow me to take her back to the palace and discipline her slowly!"
Gao Xiyue smiled contemptuously and said, "Princess Xian, I haven't punished you for your lax discipline yet."
Ruyi, repeatedly humiliated by Gao Xiyue, looked unhappy. She replied coldly, "Aruo and I dare not complain about any punishment, Your Highness. It's just that Aruo still has to work, and it wouldn't look good on anyone. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Boom--" a thunder sounded.
Gao Xiyue saw that it was about to rain and didn't want to get entangled with Ruyi, so she said casually: "Aruo was rude and rude. I will punish her by making her kneel at the gate of the Locust Tree for six hours. Shuangxi, you stay here and watch over her.
As for Concubine Xian, I will punish you by making you copy the 'Buddha Mother Sutra' one hundred times and burning it in the Baohua Palace before tonight as an apology."
Shuangxi said: "I obey your command."
Gao Xiyue left leisurely.
Seeing Gao Xiyue leave, Ah Ruo hugged Ruyi's legs and begged, "Master, please save me! I'll be crippled if I kneel on the stone slab for six hours!"
But Ruyi had been so humiliated by the Imperial Concubine that she didn't care about A'ruo's life or death. She said coldly, "You, the disciple of the Locust Sect, have offended the heir to the throne. How can I save you?"
A Ruo was desperate.
Perhaps it was the contemptuous looks of the servants watching around, or perhaps Ruyi's conscience was awakened, but she still said, "Eunuch Shuangxi, it's fine for A'ruo to kneel here, but it looks like it's going to rain, so I'll leave these two umbrellas to you and A'ruo."
Shuangxi refused, of course. What did he mean by leaving two umbrellas for them? Did he have to hold both, or did Aruo have to kneel down and hold them? What a malicious thought.
Seeing that Shuangxi ignored her, Ruyi became even angrier and turned away. 惢心 still wanted to help A Ruo and asked weakly, "Master, shall we go and ask the Emperor?"
Ruyi was humiliated by the two and was in a bad mood. When惢心 asked this question, she felt even more upset and angrily scolded, "She committed the crime herself, why should she beg the emperor for help?"
The thunder became more and more frequent, and the wind blew up the dust on the ground. Seeing that it was about to rain heavily, Ruyi turned around and left angrily.
Shuangxi saw Ruyi leave and said to A Ruo cheerfully: "Your master is not that good either. If she asked someone to hold an umbrella for her, could a servant like me refuse? Your master is not as good as mine~"
As they were talking, Xing Xuan came with the palace maids and eunuchs. Xing Xuan ordered: "You, go hold an umbrella for Shuang Xi, and you, go hold an umbrella for A Ruo.
Shuangxi, the Imperial Concubine has ordered that if Concubine Xian calls for reinforcements, A Ruo will be released. If Concubine Xian does not call for reinforcements, you can leave after two hours."
This means letting A Ruo go.
There is no harm without comparison. A Ruo's heart was filled with hatred. She was just helping her master, so why did she end up like this? Even the imperial concubine knew that she felt sorry for Shuangxi, so why didn't her master feel sorry for her?
But A Ruo still held on to hope, hoping that Ruyi would go back and ask for help to spare her.
Shuangxi nodded in agreement.
Xing Xuan released the people and left. The weather was gloomy and the imperial concubine couldn't leave without her.
Cheng Qiangong
Ruyi was copying the "Buddha Mother Sutra" with her hands, and惢心 was busy closing the windows, fearing that the rain and strong wind would disturb Ruyi.
惢心 looked at the weather and lamented, "I secretly went to see A Ruo and wanted to ask Shuang Xi to let her go, but Shuang Xi just sat under the eaves and refused to move. He wouldn't listen to anything I said."
Ruyi's mood had been slowly calming down, but惢心 mentioned A Ruo again, which made her so angry that she wrote a word crookedly, and her mood became even worse. She said angrily, "Serves you right! You're so unforgiving with your words, you should learn this lesson!"
惢心 was frightened by Ruyi's sudden anger and dared not say anything more, but she felt a chill in her heart. Although A Ruo had a foul mouth, she was at least standing up for her master. What's more, wasn't A Ruo's mouth cultivated by her master?
Locust's disciples
A Ruo knelt on the ground. Although a palace maid helped her hold an umbrella, she still knelt in the rain. Two hours had passed and Ruyi had not sent anyone yet. Only惢心 came to take a look, and she felt more and more resentful.
She had worked with惢心 for so long, how could she not have seen that惢心 had come here on her own? If she had been sent by Ruyi, why would惢心 have begged Shuangxi to release her?
When Shuangxi saw that the time had come, he left, taking the two people holding umbrellas with him and leaving one umbrella for A Ruo.
Before leaving, the little palace maids who held an umbrella for Arruo said, "Sister Arruo, I really feel sorry for you. The imperial concubine knows that you are standing up for your master and pities you, but your master doesn't care." After that, they all left.
