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

Cining Palace

The Empress Dowager also knew that Ruyi was about to come out, which was according to her plan. Prince Yu's irritable mood, which had been caused by his long-term illness, had improved a lot. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in a good mood, Fujia chatted with her for a while.

Cold Palace

Li Yu led everyone to pay their respects to Ruyi.

Everyone: "This servant is here to pay his respects to Concubine Xian."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Get up."

Li Yu stood up and congratulated Ruyi, saying, "Your servant respectfully welcomes Concubine Xian back to Jingren Palace."

Ruyi was surprised and asked, "Jingren Palace? Why don't you go back to Chengqian Palace?"

Li Yu was also a little unsure of Hongli's thoughts, so he could only casually say, "Replying to Concubine Xian, the Emperor said that no one has lived in Chengqian Palace since Concubine Xian left.

"Since Concubine Xian returned to the palace suddenly, there was no time to clean up, so she was allowed to stay in Jingren Palace. Jingren Palace is the largest palace among the East Six Palaces, so it is not considered an insult to Concubine Xian's status."

Hongli: Actually, he just thinks Ruyi is not worthy of living in Chengqian Palace. After all, among all the favorite concubines who lived in Chengqian Palace, only Ruyi dared not say a word when her belongings were withheld by the Imperial Household Department. If he lets Ruyi live there again, he is afraid of losing face!

Ruyi's mind was completely occupied by Li Yu's words, "Chengqian Palace has been uninhabited since she left." She didn't care where she lived. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Li Yu, you saw me off when I came here, and now you're the one who picks me up when I'm leaving. Thank you very much."

Li Yu was moved and wiped away his tears excitedly, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. I am really happy for you! You have suffered so much for three years.

"Madam Xian, the two maids who are assisting you with your dressing and dressing are both veteran maids who have served the Emperor for many years. Madam Zhao is the best at combing hair, and this one is Aunt Yuhu, who serves the Emperor personally."

Ruyi bowed to Aunt Yuhu and said, "Aunt Yuhu."

Yu Hu was so frightened that he quickly responded, "You are so polite, Her Majesty Xianpin."

Li Yu said respectfully, "Please change into your auspicious attire, Concubine Xian."

Ruyi looked at the auspicious dress presented to her and felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "The auspicious dress is too formal. I'd better wear casual clothes and go back."

Li Yu smiled and said, "The Emperor also thought that Concubine Xian wanted to wear casual clothes, but he was afraid that the casual clothes would be too plain, so he prepared two sets."

Ruyi felt that she and Hongli were in sync and smiled sweetly.

Ruyi dressed up again, put on new clothes, and walked out of the palace step by step.

Along the way, all the crazy concubines in the cold palace came forward and said, "Greetings to the Emperor~" "Farewell to the Emperor!" "Greetings to the Emperor!"

Ruyi returned the gifts one by one.

Li Yu didn't think there was anything wrong.

Aunt Yuhu and others looked a little unnatural. Yuhu had been taught a lesson by Hongli several times because of Ruyi's affairs, so naturally she was not as close to him as before. Now that she had witnessed Ruyi's ridiculous appearance with her own eyes, she felt that she had lost her soul before.

Ruyi walked out of the palace and watched the door of the cold palace being locked with her own eyes.

Li Yu: "Empress Xian, please get in the sedan chair."

Ruyi sighed, "Since we walked here, let's walk back now."

Li Yu: “Yes.”

Ruyi looked deeply at the gatekeeper Ling Yunche, then turned and left.

As they walked, Li Yu realized that the direction was a little wrong. He thought Ruyi had not left the cold palace for too long and had misremembered it. He quickly corrected her, "Empress Xianpin, Jingren Palace is over there."

Ruyi said meaningfully, "I want to go for a walk to the city gate."

Of course, Li Yu obeyed Ruyi's decision 100%.

Yu Hu and others were a little impatient. They were all capable palace maids and guards in front of the emperor. How could they have the time to follow Ruyi around?

After finally getting out of the cold palace, instead of going back to the palace to pack up and go to the Yangxin Palace to express gratitude, I dawdled and walked around everywhere. Did I stay in the cold palace for too long and don’t know the scenery inside the palace anymore?

……

Gyeongin Palace

Li Yu was chattering away, saying things like the palace had been decorated with everything Ruyi liked... how many loyal palace maids and eunuchs had been selected... and how many rewards the emperor had given.

Ruyi ignored it with one ear and let it out with the other, her mind wandering as she walked into the main hall.

Li Yu stopped everyone outside the hall.

Hongli was standing under the painting waiting for Ruyi. When he heard footsteps, he turned around.

Ruyi was caught off guard when she saw Hongli. Before she could react, she stood there like a piece of wood.

The two of them were deadlocked for a long time. Hongli finally compromised under Ruyi's wooden offensive and said, "Ruyi."

Ruyi lowered her head and didn't want to look at Hongli. As the two approached, Ruyi bent her knees slightly and made a gesture of greeting.

Daru's servant A'long couldn't stand it anymore, so he supported Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, you're back."

Ruyi had an indifferent expression on her face and said calmly, "Your Majesty's tone is as if I had just gone to the Imperial Garden to relax and then returned."

Hongli comforted him, "What I mean by this is that it's as if you have always been by my side and have never left..."

After hearing this, Ruyi felt more and more aggrieved. She had been working very hard in the cold palace for three years, but Hongli showed no sympathy at all and even pretended to be still by her side. Ruyi's face became increasingly darker.

Hongli stepped forward to help Ruyi untie her scarf.

Ruyi stepped back and looked at Hongli with a cold expression.

Hongli sighed and said, "I know you have been wronged."

Ruyi had a sour face and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty knows that I have been wronged, but he still sent me to the cold palace."

Hongli wanted to admit his fault, but then he thought it was wrong. Why should he admit his fault? It wasn't him who harmed Ruyi. It was clearly Ruyi who couldn't find any evidence and refused to explain.

Hongli also said coldly: "Isn't it you who caused your own imprisonment? I have asked you to explain yourself time and time again, but you only have one thing to say: you are indefensible. What should I do?"

Seeing that Hongli dared to refute her, Ruyi's voice became even colder and she said angrily, "Since Your Majesty thinks it is my fault, then why did you take me out of the cold palace?"

Hongli felt that he could not communicate with Ruyi, so he left angrily. Before leaving, he said coldly: "Since you feel you should not come out, then go back by yourself."

Ruyi felt wronged. It was clearly Hongli who sent her to the cold palace without any reason. Why couldn't she say anything to him?

The people standing at the door looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw Hongli leave angrily. Could it be that Concubine Xian had fallen out of favor just after leaving the cold palace?

Other people in the palace also learned the news that Ruyi had angered the emperor and driven him away.

Ah Ruo was puzzled: "After three years in the cold palace, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Gao Xiyue sneered: "Letting the Emperor pick her up! You've shot yourself in the foot, you deserve it!"

Yi Huan admired: "Empress Xian is truly affectionate and kind-hearted."

Changchun Palace

Jingqin was not idle either. Since she guessed that Ruyi had poisoned herself, Jingqin told Wang Qin about it and specifically asked Wang Qin to investigate the cold palace carefully.

After Ruyi left the cold palace, Wang Qin's men went in and started searching.

Fortunately, Ruyi was very confident that she would not be discovered, so she threw the medicine bag under the bed.

The spy discovered it immediately and gave the medicine bag to Wang Qin.

Wang Qin took the medicine bag and asked someone to go out of the palace to check.

Because it was a short time, it was easy to find the pharmacy and track down the person.

Yangxindian

Hongli was furious with Ruyi, but he still asked patiently, "Is there any progress on the matter of Concubine Xian being poisoned?"

Wang Qin stepped forward and replied, "I sent someone to search the cold palace and found a piece of medicine paper under Concubine Xian's bed." After that, he handed over the medicine bag.

Wang Qin continued, "I followed the medicine package to a pharmacy in the capital. After asking, I found out that a guard had bought arsenic from the pharmacy not long ago, saying it was for killing rats.

I asked about his appearance, and the doctor vaguely remembered his features. I then compared them one by one with the guards that Concubine Xian might have come into contact with, and discovered that it was Guard Ling.

Hongli glared at Yu Hu, who was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I have checked the backgrounds of Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao. They are both orphans and would never disobey the Emperor's order and harm Concubine Xian."

Wang Qin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have summoned Ling Yunche. He is waiting outside the palace now."

Hongli: "By the way."

Ling Yunche entered and performed a great ceremony.

Yu Hu asked, "Guard Ling, I asked you to take good care of Concubine Xian, and this is how you did it? You actually bought arsenic and poisoned her?"

Ling Yunche was stunned by the sudden question. When he came to his senses, he quickly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life." Then he sold Ruyi out without hesitation. "It was Concubine Xian who asked me to buy the arsenic."

Yu Hu pressed on, "Why did Concubine Xian ask you to buy arsenic for no reason? And why did you help?"

Ling Yunche's mind raced as he replied, "When my aunt came to see me, she specifically told me to take good care of Concubine Xian. I will do my best to fulfill Concubine Xian's request.

A few days ago, when Concubine Xian heard that the Third Prince had been poisoned, she asked me to go out of the palace to buy arsenic. I thought it was because of the rat infestation in the cold palace, so I obeyed and bought some.

Hongli looked at Ling Yunche meaningfully, and suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Ling Yunche was because Ruyi secretly met Hai Lan. Although Yu Hu was not capable enough, he was very considerate of the emperor's intentions. He also reacted and asked Ling Yunche to leave.

Hongli asked, "Yuhu, do you remember the last time Ling Yunche was summoned?"

Yu Hu replied, "I remember that when Concubine Hai was punished, she went to the cold palace alone to see Concubine Xian."

Hongli sneered, "Tell me, was Yongzhang poisoned this time because of a conspiracy between the two of them, intending to use this as an excuse to get Ruyi out? And Concubine Hai, what have you found out?"

Yu Hu knelt down and reported, "Noble Hai is very meticulous. Xiangyun, who was responsible for transporting the poison, drowned a long time ago. The other servants were unaware of this. I can only find some physical evidence, but no witnesses."

Hongli was furious and threw the memorial in Yuhu's face and said angrily, "Then what do I want you to do?"

Yu Hu begged for mercy: "This servant deserves to die! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Hongli sneered and said, "You have three days to gather all the witnesses and evidence. Otherwise, you will no longer be the aunt in front of the emperor."

Yu Hu: "I obey your command."

Yu Hu retreated.

(Have you noticed the benefits of this combination? The crooked Wang Qin helps Jing Qin investigate all the little tricks of the Ruyi Party, while the incompetent Yu Hu can't find out Jing Qin's little tricks no matter how hard he tries. This is the use of Yu Hu~)

Gyeongin Palace

Qin Li, a skilled and daring man, withheld Ruyi's share. Although the servants around Ruyi were specially selected by Li Yu, they were all newcomers after all.

Ruyi wanted to ask Li Yu for her former servants, but Li Yu said, "My Lord, the former servants have all followed Concubine Shen... I'm afraid they won't be able to come back to serve you."

Li Yu had actually asked them privately, but none of them were willing to come back to serve Ruyi. He had no choice but to go to the Imperial Household Department to select someone himself. The maids and eunuchs who had been in the palace for a long time knew Ruyi's character and refused to come.

The only ones willing to serve the slaves were the new palace maids and eunuchs. Li Yu was afraid that they were all newcomers and not very skillful, so he went to the Xinzheku to bring Sanbao out.

Nowadays, Ruyi's maids are all young servants, and naturally they will not stand up for Ruyi like A Ruo, but they can't stand the treatment of Jingren Palace even more than A Ruo. After eating white porridge for three days in Jingren Palace, some servants wanted to leave under the pretext of something.

Ruyi is as calm as a chrysanthemum. She agreed to all the requests from those who came to her to take back the servants from the Imperial Household Department, and she was even complacent, thinking that she was screening out some disloyal servants.

Poor Li Yu's hard-earned plan was messed up by Ruyi.

Who else but the spies who were paid two cents would be willing to fill the vacancy and endure the hardship? Within a few days, Jingren Palace was leaking like a sieve, and was filled with spies from various palaces.

Unfortunately, Li Yu was busy with Wang Qin's orders these days and had no time to care about Jingren Palace at all. As a result, Ruyi's maids and eunuchs were finalized in a half-hearted manner.

Ruyi, after a day of sitting on the bench in Jingren Palace, finally realized something was amiss: Where was her servant Hailan? Why hadn't she come to see her? Had she become so favored that she'd turned her back on her?

Ruyi asked Sanbao about it, and Sanbao looked strange and told her everything that had happened in the past few days. Hailan was afraid of implicating Sanbao, so she did not let him intervene, which allowed Sanbao to escape.

Ruyi was still in disbelief after hearing this, muttering to herself, "It was Hailan? Why was it Hailan? Why would Hailan poison Yongzhang for no reason?"

Sanbao was a little confused. Wasn't it a conspiracy between the two? No sooner had Hai Guiren been exposed than Ruyi was poisoned and taken out of the cold palace. He thought it was a plan between the two!

Just as she was thinking about it, Yihuan came to ask to see Ruyi.

Ruyi was a little confused. She didn’t know Yihuan. What was she doing here?

Sanbao could only tell the story of Yihuan again, emphasizing that Yihuan was close to Ruyi.

Ruyi put on a faint smile and received Yihuan.

Both of them were interested in getting to know each other, and they had a very pleasant conversation. Ruyi even talked affectionately about her first meeting with Hongli - she looked at each other from afar on the wall, and her heart was broken as soon as she saw him.

As expected, Yihuan was moved to tears, and was touched by the childhood friendship between Ruyi and Hongli.

After sending Yihuan away, Ruyi sat on the bench for another two days. Feeling that something was wrong, she could only find a way to escape from this predicament.

She decided - to find the Queen Mother!

Cining Palace

Ruyi bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The Queen Mother calmly accepted Ruyi's greeting and said calmly, "Stand up. I have left some good tea for you. Please sit down."

Ruyi stepped forward and sat down, saying, "Your Majesty, I will definitely come, will you?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "If you don't come, wouldn't it be a waste of my good tea?"

Ruyi smiled, took a sip of tea, and replied, "The Empress Dowager has maintained herself well and her elegance remains the same. It seems that she has been living a stable and peaceful life in the harem these years."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's great that you survived. The Emperor's love for you was not in vain; you finally made it through. You were also smart. You knew that the fire in the cold palace would make it unbearable for you, so you took the risky tactic of using yourself as a raft."

Now, everyone in the palace, including the Emperor, suspects that it was the Imperial Concubine or Noble Lady Shen who poisoned you. Even the Empress cannot escape this suspicion. But if you didn't poison yourself, how could you have stayed alive and waited for someone to rescue you? "

Ruyi looked very pleased with herself and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is wise."

Ruyi surrendered to the Queen Mother, who gladly accepted her.

But what they didn't know was that Hongli had planted people in the Empress Dowager's palace, and the news of their meeting reached the Yangxin Palace in less than an hour.

Yangxindian

Hongli was furious and said, "Ridiculous! I tried my best to save Ruyi, what does the Empress Dowager have to do with it? Ruyi came out and didn't thank me, she even turned her face away from me. After leaving the palace, she didn't come to the Yangxin Palace, but went to the Cining Palace instead. How filial!"

Wang Qin replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the young eunuch said that he heard Concubine Xian admit to the Empress Dowager that she was the one who poisoned herself..."

Hongli transferred his anger to Wang Qin and angrily said, "I am not deaf yet, do I need you to emphasize it again?"

Wang Qin quickly slapped himself on the mouth and said, "It is my fault for talking too much. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Yu Hu said worriedly, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, the eldest prince might have been the victim of Concubine Xian and Concubine Hai together, but they didn't expect it to be discovered.

After Concubine Xian was sent to the cold palace, she conspired with Concubine Hai to poison the Third Prince so that she could take the opportunity to escape from the cold palace.

Hongli stared at Yu Hu and asked, "Have you found out everything I asked you to investigate?"

Yu Hu: "There are some clues."

Workplace veteran Yu Hu: Actually, I only found a little bit, but I was afraid of getting scolded, so I turned a blind eye to satisfy the boss.

Hongli sighed deeply and said, "Put all the blame on Hai Guiren, and as for the other things Ruyi did, just clean up the mess."

Yu Hu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, are you not going to pursue Concubine Xian?"

Hongli: "After all, Concubine Xian is my childhood sweetheart, and she is from the Ulanara clan, a prominent Manchu family. Narbu died in the line of duty, so I cannot treat her harshly after her meritorious service. So let it be."

Yu Hu nodded and left.

The King of Slacking Off - Yu Hu: Plan Pass

Hongli frowned and sat down to continue reviewing memorials. The more he reviewed, the more upset he became, so he went to A Ruo Palace.

A Ruo likes to secretly scold Ruyi. Hongli used to be impatient with her, but now he feels a sense of empathy when he hears her, so it's a good time for him to go to A Ruo to relax.
