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

Not long after, Su Lujun was diagnosed with pregnancy again. Hongli was very happy and promoted Su Lujun to imperial concubine.

When Ruyi heard the news, she was so angry that she couldn't eat. Su Lujun dared to lead the concubines to rebel against her when she was still a concubine. Now that she was promoted to a noble concubine, what would happen?

Su Lujun is a noble concubine with palace power, and she is pregnant with the royal heir. She already has four children! Who would take her, a childless and powerless imperial concubine, seriously?

Ruyi's adopted son Yongqi was taken back to her own palace by Chen Wanyin. Although he was still in Jingren Palace, Chen Wanyin took care of everything and did not allow her to interfere in any way.

After Ruyi knew that Su Lujun was pregnant, she finally remembered Yongqi and decided to go to the East Side Palace to see him and see if Yongqi still recognized her as his mother.

Jingren Palace East Side Hall

Chen Wanyin was teasing Yongqi. Ever since Yongqi was brought home, Chen Wanyin had devoted herself to Yongqi. Even her favorite painting had changed from painting Hongli to painting Yongqi.

In addition to some of Chen Wanyin's jewelry, the hall was littered with Yongqi's toys. Several princes in the palace had been harmed by paint, and Chen Wanyin was afraid of problems, so she placed the painting supplies and paints in the side room next door.

Ruyi saw this scene when she stepped in. She couldn't help but frown and preached, "Princess Wen, spoiling a child is like killing him. Although Yongqi is not even six years old, he should start learning."

Chen Wanyin was stunned. When she looked up, she saw Ruyi's expression of disapproval. Anger burned in Chen Wanyin's heart.

Seeing Chen Wanyin remained silent, Ruyi assumed she was the soft bun that had let her do whatever she wanted. She continued, "I am also the Fifth Prince's adoptive mother. I cannot bear to see him lose his ambition due to his pleasures. If you, Wenpin, cannot bring yourself to teach him, then I can only... Rongpei, take the Fifth Prince away."

Shunxin was anxious and rushed forward to stop Rongpei. Rongpei pushed Shunxin away and rushed to Yongqi to take him away.

Chen Wanyin finally reacted and rushed to carry Yongqi away, shouting, "Someone, come! Drag this son of a bitch away and give him ten lashes!"

The servants who were watching the show on the side shouted, "Yes!" and rushed over to hold Rong Pei down.

Ruyi was furious when she saw that the people she had assigned to the Fifth Prince had obeyed her orders to restrain Rong Pei. She shouted angrily, "Let me see who dares!"

The servants ignored her. They had accepted money from Concubine Wen, so naturally they had to help her. Ruyi was good at bluffing, so it didn't matter if she didn't obey their orders.

Rong Pei was dragged to the courtyard and beaten with ten boards. Ruyi died before she could accomplish her mission and left in a hurry, completely ignoring Rong Pei who was lying unconscious in the courtyard.

Chen Wanyin said coldly, "Shunxin, go find Sanbao and ask him to drag this dog slave back to me."

Sanbao and Jinxin rushed over to clean up the mess and apologized to Chen Wanyin repeatedly.

Chen Wanyin held Yongqi unmoved. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jinxin and Sanbao, but she could not bow to Ruyi now, so she could only confront Ruyi toughly.

Sanbao and Jinxin were so embarrassed that they had Rong Pei carried away.

Ruyi returned to the main hall angrily and sat down sulking, but Rong Pei was still dizzy and no one was willing to comfort her.

Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, Ruyi went to the Yangxin Palace, intending to use a hard approach.

Yangxindian

Hongli was leisurely reading the memorial when Wang Qin, sweating profusely, walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort requests an audience."

Hongli sat up straight and asked, "Why is she here for no reason? Xuan."

Ruyi walked in, sat next to Hongli, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty~"

Hongli asked, "Ruyi, what's the matter?"

Ruyi pouted and said, "Your Majesty, I wanted to see Yongqi today, but I ran into Concubine Wen playing with Yongqi's toys. The floor was full of Yongqi's toys.

Your Majesty, Yongqi is now five years old and should be attending the study next year. How can you allow him to be so distracted by playthings? I kindly wanted to take Yongqi to be taught, but Concubine Wen refused.

Your Majesty, I am Yongqi's adoptive mother. How can I allow Concubine Wen to pamper the Fifth Prince like this?

Hongli paused, and after learning from his mistakes, he no longer dared to believe Ruyi's one-sided words. He glanced at Wang Qin, who understood and quietly went to invite Chen Wanyin.

Ruyi hadn't noticed yet and continued to pester Hongli, determined to make him give in and take Yongqi to her side to raise him.

Hongli said nice things, but he was unwilling to give in. "Ruyi, it's not that I won't do it for you. I understand everything you said. This is the situation. What do you think? I'll think about it again..."

It is obvious that Ruyi does not buy into Hongli's tricks. The self-centered Ruyi decisively defeats Hongli's nonsense literature.

Ruyi interrupted, "Your Majesty, you only need to agree to let Yongqi return to me."

Hongli was still struggling with how to answer.

Wang Qin shouted, "Princess Wen and the Fifth Prince request an audience."

The timely rain arrived, and Hongli slammed the table and said, "Announce it."

Ruyi looked at Hongli with suspicion, but Hongli pretended to be calm.

Of course, Ruyi was not afraid of Chen Wanyin. In her impression, Chen Wanyin had always been a punching bag. Even if she suddenly showed her power and punished Rong Pei today, Ruyi thought that Chen Wanyin just exploded for Yongqi.

Chen Wanyin walked in slowly holding Yongqi's hand, looking like a loving mother and a filial son.

Ruyi could no longer sit still, so she forced herself to look kind and gentle, "Yongqi, come to Empress Xian."

Although Ruyi was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, her original title was still retained and was usually not called that. This time she had no choice but to do so.

Ruyi originally wanted to call herself "mother", but she didn't want to lower her status. She wanted to call herself "empress mother", but was afraid that Chen Wanyin would cause trouble.

Yongqi looked at Ruyi's distorted face and burst into tears, crying, "Mother, there's a ghost!"

Hongli glanced at Ruyi and sighed.

The smile on Ruyi's lips gradually disappeared, and she said bluntly: "Yongqi, I am your mother."

This might be effective in scaring an innocent child, but unfortunately Yongqi was reborn, and he cried even louder after hearing it.

Yongqi cried out, "I don't want you to be my mother. My mother is here. I don't want Nanny to be my mother!"

Ruyi's face darkened instantly, and she scolded, "Yongqi, I think Concubine Wen has been too lenient with you. I am your adoptive mother. Do you have any filial piety when you speak of her like this?"

Hongli frowned and was about to retort.

Chen Wanyin couldn't stand it anymore. Ruyi wanted to put the blame on her son without even asking her if she agreed.

Chen Wanyin, no longer timid, stared at Ruyi and said, "Royal Concubine, be careful with your words! What kind of foster mother are you?

How could an adoptive mother unhesitatingly accuse Yongqi of being unfilial? How could an adoptive mother, regardless of Yongqi's age, insist on accompanying the emperor on his eastern tour? How could an adoptive mother, regardless of Yongqi's health, bring Yongqi to the Yangxin Palace to ask for a position there, rain or shine?

You used Yongqi to ask for the position of Imperial Concubine, but then turned around and ignored Yongqi. Did you know that Yongqi had a fever for half a month after returning? Of course you don't remember, you were only concerned with being with the Emperor!

Now that Concubine Chun is pregnant with an imperial heir, you're thinking of Yongqi again. Is Yongqi your adopted son or just a tool for you to win favor?

Your Majesty, I have made it clear today that Yongqi is not worthy of being a Royal Noble Consort, and Yongqi does not need an unruly, unkind, unjust, unfilial, or unfraternal adoptive mother!

Hongli touched his nose guiltily and said nothing.

Ruyi retorted, "When have I ever been undisciplined? Everything I say and do is in accordance with the rules!"

Chen Wanyin sneered, "If it weren't for your close relationship with Master Anji, how could such a disturbance have occurred?"

Ruyi was extremely angry and said angrily, "I treat Master Anji as a close friend. Master Anji is well versed in Buddhism. I am just..."

Hongli interrupted, "That's enough! Wenpin, take Yongqi back. Ruyi, shut up too!"

Ruyi looked aggrieved, but Chen Wanyin ignored her, bowed and took Yongqi away directly.

Hongli rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Princess Wen is right, Ruyi, you are not suitable to be the prince's adoptive mother."

Ruyi said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty!"

Hongli continued, "Don't worry, you are the Imperial Noble Consort. Even if you don't have any children, all the children in the palace will recognize you as their half-legitimate mother."

Ruyi felt wronged, so how could it be the same? No matter what she said, she was not the queen, and she had no children. Even if the emperor passed away, she would not be able to get the position of empress dowager!

Ruyi still wanted to argue, but Hongli raised his hand and said, "Ruyi, please go down. You don't have to worry about Yongqi anymore. You will still be his adoptive mother in name only, so it won't be so embarrassing if you tell others about it."

Ruyi pouted angrily and turned back to Jingren Palace.

Gyeongin Palace

Ruyi fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand anxiously, poking at her armor, and suddenly remembered something, shouting, "Sanbao, Sanbao!"

Sanbao ran in hurriedly again and asked, "Master?" What's the matter?

Ruyi asked, "Where are all the things that my aunt left for me kept now?"

Sanbao scratched his head and said, "It's now stored in the warehouse in a camphorwood box."

Ruyi, wearing high heels, took Jinxin to the storeroom and instructed, "Sanbao, go find Doctor Jiang and bring him to Jingren Palace."

Sanbao nodded and left.

Warehouse

Ruyi twisted her buttocks and rummaged through the box. Suddenly, she pulled out a small box and threw it to Jinxin. She brushed the dust off her skirt and went back to the palace, holding the hem of her skirt.

Sanbao and Jiangzhou were already waiting. Ruyi walked into the hall and sat down leisurely, motioning Jinxin to open the box and hand it to Jiangzhou.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Doctor Jiang, this is the prescription my aunt left for me. Please see if it can be of any use. I want a prince with the blood of the Ulanara clan."

Jiang Zhou also understood the obvious hint. The Ulanara family also wanted a prince? Dream on!

Jiang Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he carefully looked at the prescriptions in the box. Suddenly, his hand stopped on a prescription.

Ruyi also noticed Jiang Zhou's actions and asked happily, "Doctor Jiang? Did you notice?"

Jiang Zhou bowed and said, "Your Highness, the prescription is too old. I need to take it back and carefully read the medical books before I can decide on the dosage."

Ruyi was a little skeptical, but looking at Jiang Zhou's handsome face, she nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then you can take him back and have a look."

Jiang Zhou was sent out by Sanbao with a box of prescriptions. Jiang Zhou was confused. Why did he give them all to him? He had wanted to slowly collect them one by one.

Jiang Zhou returned home and went to Princess Yongle's mansion with the prescription.

Princess Yongle's Mansion

Jingqin consulted the imperial physicians Hu Jin and Jiang Zhou, who were close to her, to study the matter together.

Hu Jin: "This...this is too comprehensive, isn't it? Poisoning, contraception, abortion, health supplements, beauty products...The Imperial Concubine has so many good things?"

Jiang Zhou gnashed his teeth and said, "As expected of that vicious woman, Ulanara, she actually has so many harmful prescriptions!"

Jingqin even doubted her life. Ruyi had so many good things in her hands, so how did Ruyi get herself into that situation in her previous life?

Ruyi could find any random prescription and poison her to death without anyone noticing... No, she could even poison the emperor...

Jingqin came up with a good idea and asked, "Doctor Jiang, did Ruyi ask you for the secret recipe for having a child?"

Jiang Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, there is one here, but the medicine is too strong. Drinking it will harm both mother and child. However, it will definitely help to conceive, regardless of the mother's health."

Jingqin smiled and said, "Then give it to her."

Jiang Zhou hesitated and said, "But even if both mother and child die, there's still a chance of giving birth to an heir to the throne..."

Jingqin: "Don't worry, I'm here. If she can't give birth, just let her drink."

With Ruyi's restless personality, there's no way she'll be able to give birth!

Jiang Zhou nodded and said, "Then I will modify the recipe to make it more concealed."

Jingqin nodded, and Jiangzhou took the prescription and left.

Jingqin looked at Hu Jin again, picked up a prescription, and said, "Doctor Hu, what is this prescription for?"

Hu Jin replied, "It's a deadly poison that will kill you instantly, bleeding from all seven orifices."

Jingqin took a steady look and said, "Doctor Hu, please change the prescription and weaken the efficacy of the medicine. Just make the patient bedridden. Hua Nian."

Huanian stepped forward and stuffed a land deed and ten silver notes into his pocket.

Jingqin smiled and said, "After this is done, you will be reunited with your family in this place."

Hu Jin nodded fearfully. He had boarded Princess Yongle's pirate ship and there was no turning back. His family was in Princess Yongle's hands...

Jingqin changed the subject and said with a smile, "Doctor Hu, please find the prescriptions for beauty and health. I'll copy a few and send them to Mother, Yonglian, and Jingse."

Hu Jin nodded and carefully took out the prescription.
