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

Hailan staggered back to the bedroom. Xiangyun and Xinyan, who were waiting outside the hall, came forward to greet her. Hailan fell into Xiangyun's arms and was dragged onto the bed by Xiangyun and Xinyan with great effort.

Changchun Palace

Fu Cha Langya frowned and asked, "What did you say? Hai Changzai is seriously ill and has the imperial physician been summoned?"

Su Xin was also speechless, and nodded in response: "Yes, after the punishment that day, Hai Changzai went back and asked for the imperial physician. Now he is also apologizing for not coming to pay his respects these days."

Fucha Langya slammed the table and said, "What a... unpresentable person! Just like the common people of Wu, she always uses little tricks to disgust people. I punished her by making her kneel in Baohua Palace, so how could she become seriously ill? Are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation?"

Su Xin said, "This servant was also very puzzled. I went to ask Xiangyun, and Xiangyun said: Hai Changzai was really seriously ill. After Hai Changzai was punished to kneel, he went crazy and pushed Xiangyun and Xinyan away and ran away.

At that time, Xiangyun followed from a distance and watched helplessly as Hai Changzai braved the heavy rain to go to the cold palace. She stayed there for a long time before leaving. She was soaked all over. Wouldn't she be sick?

Fucha Langya frowned and asked, "Since she caused the trouble herself, you should go out and get some fresh air. Don't push everything onto me. If others don't know, they might think I was the one who caused it."

Su Xin: “Yes.”

Xianfu Palace

Fucha Chuying was also angry. She had bumped into Yonghuang first, and now she was sick and had to ask for the imperial physician. Who should she choose? Wasn't Hai Changzai's current behavior a subtle accusation that she and the empress were mean and mistreated the lower-ranking concubines?

Fu Cha Chu Ying decided to go all out and invite the imperial physician herself. After all, given her and Yonghuang's situation, it was normal for the imperial physician to accompany them all the time. Since Hai Changzai wanted to pretend to be innocent, she would accompany him to the end!

After Fu Cha Chu Ying discussed it with Yong Huang, Yong Huang nodded in agreement. If Hai Changzai hadn't run out and bumped into him, he might have been able to play with Jing Qin for a little longer. Why would they end it so early?

The mother and son hit it off immediately, and Fu Cha Chu Ying also invited an imperial physician.

Hailan was ill for three days, and the rumor spread quietly for three days, even Hongli heard about it.

Royal Garden

Hongli was originally bored with reviewing memorials and planned to go out for a walk, but he heard a few young palace maids talking.

Palace Maid A: "I heard that Hai Changzai is ill. She was punished by the Empress to kneel, and that's why she got seriously ill."

When Hongli heard the key word: Queen, he stopped and looked back at Wang Qin. Wang Qin understood and signaled the guards and servants to stay put.

Palace Maid B: "Who told you this?"

Palace Maid A: "It's what came out of the Yanxi Palace, so it must be true."

Palace Maid C: "How is that possible? I was there too. The Empress punished Hai Changzai by making him kneel in Baohua Palace for two hours. How could he get sick? He wasn't exposed to the wind or the rain. It's much more comfortable than walking around to work like us."

Palace Maid A: "But Hai Changzai is sick, and she even called in the imperial physician, but she didn't go to pay her respects. If the Empress hadn't punished her, she wouldn't have gotten sick."

Palace Maid B: "Why did the Queen punish her?"

Palace Maid C: "Hai Changzai was running around in the Imperial Gardens flying a kite when she was bumped by the eldest prince. If the eldest princess hadn't pulled her back, Hai Changzai wouldn't have had a hundred lives to pay for it.

This matter can be over if you admit your mistake, but Hai Changzai refused to admit her mistake, saying that she just didn't mean it. The other palace maids and eunuchs were all there at the time, and we are not blind. If we bumped into someone, we bumped into them. Does saying it was unintentional mean that it's okay? Hai Changzai kept saying it was unintentional, which made Concubine Zhe very angry.

Palace Maid A: "Ah? No wonder the Empress punished her. When we do something wrong, we still know to ask for forgiveness from the Master. But Hai Changzai bumped into the eldest prince and refused to admit her fault. Being a master is better than being a slave."

Palace Maid B: "Who told you that Hai Changzai was punished by the Empress Dowager and became ill? Are you being used? We palace maids should be careful. If they drag you to the Ministry of Punishment and accuse you of slandering the Empress Dowager, you won't be able to pay the compensation."

Palace Maid A shuddered and said, "Look, I just can't control my mouth. I heard it from the little Dingzi in the Yanxi Palace. He said it with all his might, so I'm telling you this. Don't tell anyone else."

Palace Maid C: "Don't worry, we can just keep it to ourselves and won't tell anyone else."

Palace Maid B: "Yes, yes, they spread it anyway. We just heard it from others. We didn't tell anyone, so who would know?"

A few people talked and laughed, and then dispersed.

Hongli frowned as he listened, but said nothing and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Yangxindian

Hongli: "Wang Qin, have you heard the rumors too?"

Wang Qin replied, "Your Majesty, I just learned about this in the Imperial Garden."

Hongli: "Go check it out."

Wang Qin: "Yes, Your Majesty."

after a while……

Wang Qin returned and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hai is indeed seriously ill, and the Imperial Hospital has also recorded it.

At that time, the eldest prince and the eldest princess were playing in the imperial garden when they ran into Hai Changzai who was flying a kite. Hai Changzai bumped into the eldest prince and refused to admit her mistake. Concubine Zhe asked the Empress to make the decision.

The Empress punished Hai Changzai by making her copy palace rules and kneel in Baohua Palace for two hours. These were all confirmed by the palace maids and eunuchs who were present.

Hongli: "Then why did Hai Changzai invite the imperial physician?"

Wang Qin shook his head, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Not only did Concubine Hai invite the imperial physician, but Concubine Zhe also invited the imperial physician."

Hongli asked, "Princess Zhe? How is this related to her?"

Wang Qin said, "The eldest prince was knocked down, and Concubine Zhe was startled. Later, Concubine Hai fell ill. Concubine Zhe probably thought that Concubine Hai did it on purpose, so she fainted from anger..."

Hongli frowned. "What's wrong with Concubine Hai? She became seriously ill after kneeling in Baohua Palace for two hours? I don't think she's that weak."

Wang Qin replied, "The imperial physician said Hai Changzai was attacked by wind and cold, which caused the lungs to lose their vitality. Hai Changzai has caught a cold."

Hongli: "In Baohua Palace? Caught a cold? Baohua Palace is warmer than other palaces. She was fine in Yanxi Palace, but she caught a cold after kneeling in Baohua Palace?"

Hongli almost suspected that Hailan was deliberately trying to anger Concubine Zhe and the Queen.

Wang Qin said, "But the imperial physician said that Hai Changzai was indeed ill. By the way, the imperial physician also said that Hai Changzai had been in the rain for too long."

Li Yu stepped forward to defend Hai Lan, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, it did rain heavily that day. Perhaps Concubine Hai caught a cold from the rain."

Although Wang Qin was annoyed that Li Yu had interfered again, he continued, "A palace maid said she vaguely saw Hai Changzai walking alone in the rain on the long street."

Hongli asked angrily, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

Wang Qin said aggrievedly, "After all, this is just hearsay. I couldn't have guessed it, so I didn't say anything."

Hongli thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Yuhu? I remember asking you to arrange for someone to be in the cold palace."

Yu Hu stepped forward and replied, "Two guards have been arranged."

Hongli: "Bring him here."

Yu Hu: "Yes."

Hongli originally wanted to treat it as a small episode and just listen to it, but the matter seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, so he just checked it out.

not long

Ling Yunche came to the Yangxin Palace

Ling Yunche saluted excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant pays homage to Your Majesty."

Hongli: "I want to ask you, did Hai Changzai go to the cold palace a few days ago?"

Ling Yunche tried hard to recall and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, when I saw Hai Changzai coming alone in such heavy rain, I kept trying to persuade her to return to the palace, but she insisted on meeting Empress Wu...

Ling Yunche paused, trying to think of how to make the bribery sound better.

Push it to Ruyi? No, he just found out when Yu Hu called him to the Yangxin Palace that it was actually the emperor who sent him to take care of Ruyi! Ruyi was obviously the emperor's favorite, he couldn't sell her out.

Push it to Hailan? It seems possible. After all, it was Hailan who had been sending gifts to Ruyi. It wouldn't be too much for him to let Hailan and Ruyi, these good sisters, meet each other out of pity, right?

Ling Yunche continued, "Hai Chang was crying and begging, and I was helpless. She often helped the Empress. I was guilty, but I was soft-hearted and let Hai Lan meet the Empress."

Hongli: "How long did they talk?"

Ling Yunche: "About half an hour." He spent half the time knocking on the door. Is this something he can say?

Hongli: "Hai Lan is alone? Without anyone else? And without an umbrella?"

Ling Yunche: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Hongli: "What did they say?"

Ling Yunche: "Your Majesty, Hai Changzai said that she had something important to tell the Empress, so I will step aside."

In fact, it was Ling Yunche who secretly accepted money to let Hai Lan see Ruyi. He was afraid of being discovered, so he went to keep watch and didn't hear it.

Hongli frowned and found out that it was a bad debt. Thinking it was not a big deal, he waved his hand and let Ling Yunche leave.

The next day

Changchun Palace

All the concubines came to pay their respects. Hailan, who was almost recovered, also came. Fucha Langya did what she had to do and was too lazy to embarrass Hailan. She paid her respects for a while and then left.

Outside Changchun Palace

Hailan walked alone on the long street and was suddenly stopped by a sedan chair. Not long after, a person got out of the sedan chair. It was Shen Changzai - A Ruo.

A Ruo waved her hand, let the sedan chair go first, and looked at Hai Lan with a smile on her face.

Hai Lan looked at Ye Xin beside A Ruo, and was angry at Ye Xin's betrayal. She pretended not to see A Ruo, walked around A Ruo and planned to leave.

A Ruo slapped Hai Lan in the face without saying a word.

Hailan was shocked and furious. She raised her head and said angrily, "Shen Changzai, what are you doing?"

Ah Ruo said arrogantly, "If I don't hit you, you won't see me anymore, right? I'm the Emperor's Consort Shen!"

Hailan felt wronged, covering her cheek and said coldly: "You are a Changzai, and I am also a Changzai, why do you hit me?"

Ah Ruo sneered, "Who told you to have such an unlucky face? You're so annoying."

Hailan's eyes were filled with tears, and she said hatefully, "You..."

Ah Ruo continued to be arrogant and said with a smile: "What are you? You are such a person, and you dare to sue me. Don't you know what you are? To be unfavored is to be lowly!"

After saying that, A Ruo left in an arrogant manner.

Hailan was left alone, clutching her handkerchief tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yangxindian

Jingqin and Hongli were discussing "Zizhi Tongjian". Jingqin had fallen behind in many courses because of Yonglian and Yonghuang's illness, and she was unwilling to not learn, so she shamelessly asked Hongli.

Hongli didn't care. He loved being a teacher, so he was naturally happy to teach Jingqin. After a while, Hongli discovered that Jingqin was not only smart, but many of her ideas coincided with his. He became more and more interested in teaching Jingqin.

Even when Hongli heard that the Grand Tutor had neglected the lessons of the princess because Yonglian and Yonghuang were ill, he was very angry. He summoned the Grand Tutor, scolded him, and replaced him with another one.

The new Grand Tutor also learned about the fate of his predecessor and did not dare to treat her differently. He even taught Jingqin more attentively and often gave her special lessons.

Jingqin is only ten years old now, but she has already finished learning "Zizhi Tongjian". Jingqin happily circled the parts she didn't understand and came to the Yangxin Palace to ask Hongli. Hongli also told her everything he knew.

Are happy.

Li Yu came in and angrily reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen just slapped Concubine Hai in the street."

Hongli was interrupted and asked, "Why did she slap Hai Changzai?"

Li Yu said, "It is said that Hai Changzai did not greet her and did not even look at her."

Hongli sneered, "Greetings? We are all maids, what are we greeting?"

Jingqin glanced at Li Yu meaningfully and said coquettishly, "Maybe she's venting her anger on behalf of Empress Zhe. Your Majesty, you don't know that Concubine Shen and Empress Zhe have a good relationship. Empress Zhe was so angry at Concubine Hai that she couldn't get out of bed. How can she be so used to seeing the culprit jumping around like that?"

Just then, Jinzhong came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Shen Changzai comes to pay his respects to you."

Hongli: "Let her in."

Ah Ruo came in and bowed, saying, "May the Emperor be well and may the Princess be well."

Hongli: "Did you hit Hai Changzai?"

Ah Ruo felt a little guilty, but when she saw the eldest princess sitting beside her, she felt more confident. This might be an old habit she had when serving Ruyi. She explained, "I was walking on the road and wanted to chat with Hai Changzai, but Hai Changzai couldn't see me and walked right past me. I had no choice but to use some tricks to make Hai Changzai see me."

Li Yu wanted to continue, but Hongli beckoned, "Come here."

A Ruo approached Hongli cautiously, but Hongli held A Ruo's hand to comfort her, not caring about Hai Lan's life or death. When the news spread to the Yangxin Palace, Hai Lan burst into tears again when she heard it.
