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

Cold Palace

Ruyi was trying hard to wash the cloak in the basin. A cool breeze blew and she was frozen stiff. The cloak kept absorbing water after it got wet, and Ruyi's small basin was completely filled with the expanded cloak.

Ruyi was at a loss, holding her armor. Her clothes were carefully packed by Hailan and惢心. They were all dark-colored satins that were resistant to dirt. Concubine Ji also taught her how to wash ordinary clothes.

The emperor's cloak was covered with large areas of exquisite dragon embroidery. The servants in the laundry room never dared to wash it directly with water. They used some special flower rooms and (a device for removing odors from clothes) and some natural cleaning materials for dry cleaning.

After Ruyi soaked the cloak, it was ruined, not to mention that Ruyi could not afford any cleaning materials and had to wash it with water.

Ruyi stood there in a daze for a while, and found that she couldn't rub it at all with her hands, not to mention that she was wearing armor. If she forced herself to rub it with her hands, the armor would be ruined. She only had these few pieces left.

Ruyi thought about it and went to borrow a mallet from Concubine Ji, and used it to wash.

Concubine Ji was wondering why Ruyi took her hammer. When she went out to take a look, she almost fainted!

Ruyi was hitting the cloak in the basin with Ji Taipin's mallet. Ji Taipin's mallet hit the dragon pattern every time, making Ji Taipin almost have a heart palpitation!

Although she was sent to the cold palace, she didn't want to die. Otherwise, she would have hanged herself long ago. How could she survive until now? She was holding on to her breath just for revenge. Now that her business was only halfway through, she didn't want to collapse halfway!

Concubine Ji walked briskly up to Ruyi, snatched the hammer from her hand, turned around and left.

Ruyi was confused, but looking at the cloak in the basin, she felt that it was almost done, so she didn't grab it. Instead, she squeezed her hands and slowly wrung it dry. Ruyi wanted to ask Concubine Ji for help, but Concubine Ji ignored her, so Ruyi had to do it herself.

After all, it is not as dry as wringing it by yourself as it is with two people working together, but Ruyi doesn't care. When she thinks it is about done, she hangs the cloak in the yard to dry.

It’s so cold today, God has mercy on me, what has the cloak done to sin?

After Ruyi took the cloak, she asked Li Yu, who was "coming to visit her on the orders of the emperor", to take it away. Although Li Yu did not understand, he fully supported Ruyi's order.

Yanxi Palace

When Li Yu brought this cloak to Hongli, Hongli thought that the cloak was trapped in the fire with Ruyi?

The bright yellow satin had obviously become dull, and the dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread had also become dim. Hongli lifted his cloak with the folding fan in his hand in disdain.

Hongli: "What is this black, heavy, and hard thing?"

Li Yu was stunned. His prepared words got stuck in his throat. He said dryly, "This is the Emperor's cloak, which the Emperor asked me to present to you. The Emperor said: The cold palace is unclean and cannot accommodate sacred objects."

Hai Lan, who was serving beside her, was also stuck. She was an embroiderer by profession, so she naturally knew how to clean such delicate things. Now that Ruyi presented this thing to her, Hai Lan really couldn't think of any words to praise it.

Hai Lan could only stammer and try to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, my sister might be afraid of being hurt by the things. Besides, she must think I'm your abandoned concubine. How could I accept your things?"

Hongli looked at the messed-up thing speechlessly. If you can't take it, just leave it and send it back. Do you have any opinion about his cloak like this?

The next day, Yangxin Palace

Qin Li reported tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this fire broke out suddenly. Several people in the cold palace were injured, and half of the houses were burned down. The imperial physician has gone to treat the injured, and the remaining houses can be habitable with a little renovation."

Hongli frowned and asked, "The cold palace is damp and gloomy, why did it suddenly catch fire?"

How could Qin Li know? After a midnight fireworks display, all other palaces were fine, yet the Cold Palace caught fire. He couldn't explain it directly, so he could only stumble over his explanation: "This... might be because the wind was too strong that day, blowing down the fireworks. The Cold Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the buildings are decaying, so it burned down at the first sign."

Hongli put down his pen heavily and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Qin Li bowed and left.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Gao Xiyue knelt down and apologized.

Gao Xiyue: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, Your Majesty!"

Hongli frowned, a little impatient.

Yu Hu explained, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine set fire to the cold palace due to fireworks, and she is taking off her hairpin outside the Yangxin Palace to apologize."

Hongli sneered, "Are you innocent? What did I tell you that day? I told you to protect Ruyi's life! Now she's almost burned to death, what do you say?"

Yu Hu broke out in a cold sweat. She could prevent man-made disasters, but could she prevent natural disasters? Yu Hu still begged for mercy: "The two guards in the cold palace did their best to save Princess Yi.

"It was my fault that I didn't send anyone to rescue Master Yi in time. I am guilty, but do you really want to punish the Imperial Concubine outside?"

Hongli looked at Yuhu coldly and said, "The imperial concubine is innocent, but you, Yuhu, are guilty of dereliction of duty. I will punish you with twenty lashes of the cane. You will not have to return to the Yangxin Palace until your injuries are healed."

Yu Hu knelt on the ground and said, "I acknowledge my guilt and thank the Emperor."

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Xiyue's face was covered with tears, her hair was loose, and she was kneeling in plain clothes and flat soft shoes.

Gao Xiyue cried out, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, but my father did not mean to do it. He just wanted to give us some fun, he didn't intend to set fire to the palace!"

Hongli came out, feeling both angry and amused, and consoled her, "Alright. What are you doing kneeling here in broad daylight? You're making a fool of yourself."

Gao Xiyue cried, "The fire in the cold palace is all my fault. If my father hadn't wanted me to see the magnificent scenery outside the palace to please the emperor, there wouldn't have been such a disaster."

Hongli said helplessly: "You are so confused! I never blamed you. It was just a natural disaster, how can I blame you?"

Gao Xiyue burst into laughter and stood up tremblingly, but suddenly her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Xing Xuan and Mo Xin, who were standing by, were so scared that they quickly supported Gao Xiyue.

Hongli was shocked. I didn’t blame you. Why did you faint?

Everyone carried Gao Xiyue into the side hall of the Yangxin Palace. Fucha Langya also hurried over when she heard about this. After all, it was the imperial concubine who fainted outside the Yangxin Palace.

Jingqin also came with Fucha Langya, and she happened to be learning how to be a housekeeper next to Fucha Langya. (In fact, she was worried about Gao Xiyue's stupid behavior and stayed with Langya to listen to the news.)

The three of them stared at Qi Ru, who was sweating profusely. After taking her pulse, Qi Ru bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine has always had a cold. The winter chill has accumulated, and the Imperial Concubine has been kneeling outside the palace for a long time. Now the cold has entered her body, triggering her old symptoms and causing her to faint. (Family, I made this up! Don't dwell on it!)"

Hongli had no way to defend himself. It was obvious that he had just left after the imperial concubine howled twice, but the moment he said it, it seemed that he was eager to make excuses. Hongli glanced at Wang Qin.

Wang Qin understood and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Jingqin spoke first, "Doctor Qi, are you saying that Empress Gao fainted because she knelt for so long? I thought you couldn't cure Empress Gao's cold, so she fainted."

Qi Ru had something to hide. After Jing Qin finished asking, Qi Ru said firmly, "It is true that the Imperial Concubine fainted after kneeling for a long time."

Yu Hu asked, "But the Emperor only let the Concubine kneel for a quarter of an hour?"

The air was suddenly quiet.

Qi Ru was so scared that he knelt down. He was hurriedly called into the Yangxin Palace and really had no time to inquire about the news. He was stared at by three people and his mind just wanted to make up an excuse to cover up the fact that he had drugged the imperial concubine. He really didn't expect that the imperial concubine would be called up after only kneeling for a quarter of an hour!

Hongli sneered: "Qi Ru, do you want to tell me yourself? Or do you want me to send you to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning?"

Qi Ru knelt down and begged for mercy, and decisively sold out the Queen Mother.

Gao Xiyue hadn't been kneeling for long. She fainted this time because she often went out with Jingqin and the others in the autumn and winter, and the cold air entered her body, causing her to faint. She woke up as soon as her body warmed up.

Gao Xiyue was so angry when she heard Qi Ru's words that she stood up and pointed at Qi Ru and said, "Since I entered the palace, I have treated the Queen Mother like my own elder. Why did she want to harm me like this?"

Qi Ru said tremblingly, "The Queen Mother resents Lord Gao for suggesting that Princess Duanshu marry far away in Junggar. However, the Queen Mother cannot take action against Lord Gao, so she can only..."

Gao Xiyue smiled bitterly: "So you can only harm me, right?"

Jingqin grabbed Gao Xiyue's cold hand tightly. Gao Xiyue smiled and fainted again.

The emperor, empress and Jingse were shocked and ignored Qi Ru's rebellion. They grabbed Qi Ru and asked him to treat him.

Qi Ru was able to atone for his sins with merits, and he almost used up all his life's knowledge. Gao Xiyue finally woke up, but her face was pale, she couldn't utter a word, and could only lean on Jingqin.

The emperor and the empress discussed it and decided to keep the peace and let Qi Ru continue to take care of Gao Xiyue. If anything happened to Gao Xiyue, Qi Ru's entire family would be buried with Gao Xiyue.

As for the reason for fainting, it was the relapse of Guifei's cold syndrome.

Qi Ru was naturally grateful for his life. Only the imperial concubine looked dejected and could not utter a word.

Hongli sent Yu Hu to take Qi Ru's family to Gao's house, and Yu Hu took the order and left.

Qi Ru's smile froze on his face.

After Fucha Langya and Jingqin resolved the matter, they took Gao Xiyue back to Yikun Palace.

Yikun Palace

Because Gao Xiyue had a cold, the Yiku Palace was warm and Gao Xiyue was placed in the warm room. Qi Ru was also brought back. He was given to Gao Xiyue by Hongli and was specifically responsible for Gao Xiyue's illness.

Qi Ru went out to consider the medicine, while Fu Cha Langya and Jing Qin were still in the room.

Fucha Langya said worriedly, "Xiyue, write a letter to tell your father about this."

Jingqin also cautiously echoed, "Yes, Madam Gao, the Queen Mother has been in the harem for many years after all. You are no match for her. Why don't you let Master Gao take action?"

Jingqin: Be obedient and don’t try to take revenge on the Queen Mother. She will find out. Let your father do it. He has experience.

Gao Xiyue's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up. She thought they were trying to keep the peace and wanted to sacrifice her. She was even thinking of exchanging her life with the Queen Mother.

Gao Xiyue coughed and said, "Xingxuan... cough cough... bring me paper and pen... cough cough..."

Jingqin said worriedly, "Madam Gao, how about I write it for you..."

Gao Xiyue refused and forced herself to finish writing the letter. After putting it in a box, she handed it to Xing Xuan and asked her to come back to the house in person.

Xing Xuan nodded and left. Before leaving the palace, she went to the Yangxin Palace and handed the letter to Hongli for review before she was allowed to leave the palace.

Hongli was also afraid. Qi Ru was not only the person who treated Gao Xiyue, but also the person who treated him. The Queen Mother could quietly let Qi Ru kill Gao Xiyue with medicine, so who knew that she could not quietly poison him to make room for her own son?

Hongli looked at the letter from the imperial concubine and wished Xingxuan would come to Gao Bin and cry immediately! With this letter, Gao Bin and the queen mother would no longer have the possibility of cooperation, and Gao Bin would hate the queen mother to the core.

Gao Mansion

Xing Xuan cried in the main hall, complaining about Gao Xiyue's difficulties and the Queen Mother's cruelty. Gao Bin tightly grasped the letter in his hand. Xing Xuan's words became more and more outrageous, as if it were Gao Xiyue's suicide note.

Gao Bin angrily slammed the table and shouted, "Queen Mother! I will never coexist with you!"

Gao Xiyue is the only child left by Gao Bin's deceased wife. She grew up with Gao Bin and Gao Bin always took Gao Xiyue with him when he took up a post. Gao Xiyue, who was pampered, was ignorant of the ways of the world. If the late emperor had not allowed Gao Xiyue to move into the Fourth Prince's mansion, Gao Bin was confident that Gao Xiyue would marry her ideal husband.

He devoted himself to two emperors, but the Empress Dowager resented him for suggesting that she marry far away and murdered Gao Xiyue in the harem! Gao Bin became more and more angry and entered the palace after receiving the letter.
