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

Yangxindian

Yihuan broke in and Wang Qin couldn't stop her. The imperial guards didn't dare to touch the concubines and could only let Yihuan break in.

Seeing that Yihuan had safely entered the Yangxin Palace, Lu Muping left with peace of mind.

Wang Qin chased after her and asked, "Madam Shu Fei, what are you doing?"

Yi Huan knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

Upon seeing this, Wang Qin led the palace servants to retreat.

Yi Huan's eyes were red, and she cried, "Your Majesty, are you really sincere in treating me so well?"

Hongli asked in confusion, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Yi Huan cried, "Your Majesty, why was my tenth prince born weak and frail, yet I knew nothing about it? Why is that?"

Hongli pulled Yihuan up and sighed, "I wanted to wait until you've recovered before telling you. Sit down first, I'll have someone explain it to you slowly. Wang Qin, go summon Xia Zhang and Bian Du."

Wang Qin: “Yes.”

Yi Huan: "Your Majesty, what is the reason?"

Hongli shook his head and said, "Let them talk. I can't explain this matter clearly."

Yihuan could only wait.

Bian Du and Xia Zhang came in together and bowed, saying, "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor."

Hongli: "No need to be polite, Xia Zhang, tell Shu Fei what you have discovered."

Xia Zhang nodded and said, "That day, I diagnosed Concubine Shu as pregnant, but I felt something was amiss. It seemed like Concubine Shu's heir was the result of medication. I reported this matter in detail to His Majesty."

Yi Huan's face was pale as she said, "I have been unable to conceive for a long time, so I asked for a secret recipe for conceiving a child. Your Majesty, I have been guilty of giving it to you without permission."

Hongli sighed and said, "Yihuan, why are you doing this?"

Yi Huan cried, "I just want a child with the emperor's blood. I have waited for so many years..."

Hongli knew how deeply Yihuan loved him, so he didn't want to blame her and motioned for Bian Du to continue.

Bian Du said, "But Concubine Shu is in good health. She will definitely get pregnant in due time. There's no need for that prescription at all. The prescription is very strong, and the Tenth Prince's congenital weakness is caused by the side effects."

Yi Huan said in disbelief, "What did you say? Doctor Bian, isn't it true that I'm too weak to have children?"

Xia Zhang came to the rescue and said, "Empress Shufei is in good health. Imperial Physician Bian has taken good care of her. How could she be weak?"

Yi Huan didn't believe that she was the one who harmed the Tenth Prince, and asked, "But I have been in the palace for many years and have no children..."

Bian Du sighed and said, "I have already told Your Majesty that your infertility is due to the musk in your body, not because of your frail body."

Yihuan was devastated and cried, "It was me...it was me who harmed the Tenth Prince..."

If she hadn't disbelieved Doctor Bian's words and hadn't stubbornly gone to Ruyi for the prescription, and hadn't drunk the medicine despite Hexi's dissuasion, and forced herself to get pregnant with the Tenth Prince, the Tenth Prince would have been a healthy child...

Yihuan began to bleed, and Bian Du was the first to notice, shouting, "Empress Shufei, Empress Shufei is about to have a hemorrhage!"

Yihuan's vision went dark and she passed out. Hongli could only pick Yihuan up and place her on the couch in the Yangxin Palace.

Bian Du and Xia Zhang urgently treated Yi Huan. Hong Li sighed deeply and asked, "Didn't we keep this a secret from Concubine Shu first?"

Wang Qin also found out the whole story and said, "Your Majesty, this matter can no longer be concealed. The Ninth Prince is only one month older than the Tenth Prince, but he is a whole circle older than the Tenth Prince. Shu Fei found something wrong when she went to see him this morning."

Hongli thought of the fat boy Su Lujun had given birth to and sighed, "Yongqiong was well-fed in the womb. She's a size bigger than Yonglian and the others. How can we compare?"

Wang Qin consoled her, "After all, Empress Shu Fei is inexperienced and doesn't know the difference."

Seeing Xia Zhang and Bian Du sweating profusely, Hongli asked, "How is Shufei? She's been giving birth for a month, why is she still bleeding?"

Bian Du replied, "Your Majesty, giving birth is like going through hell for a woman, especially since Concubine Shu had an unlucky birth. The secret recipe is too potent, and both mother and child will suffer!"

Although Yihuan couldn't open her eyes, she could still feel the imperial physician's movements and hear their conversation. Yihuan shed tears and the blood under her body could not be stopped.

Bian Du saw that something was wrong and shouted, "Your Majesty, you still have the Tenth Prince! If something happens to you, what will happen to the Tenth Prince? He is your child and the Emperor's child!"

Hongli also said, "Yihuan, although the Tenth Prince was born weak, if he is carefully raised, he can still grow up safely. There are so many children in the palace, aren't they all safe and sound?"

Yihuan finally didn't want to die so much anymore.

After Yihuan's bleeding stopped, he was carried back to Jingyang Palace for careful treatment.

……

Ruyi didn't know what happened to Yihuan, she just thought that this prescription was really effective. She hardened her heart and asked Rong Pei to get the medicine and started drinking it.

Prince Duan's Mansion

Yonglian's wedding was in a few days, and the palace built by Hongli for Yonglian had been completed. Hongli conferred the title of Prince Duan on Yonglian, and the palace was not far from the Yongle Princess's Palace and the Hejing Princess's Palace.

After returning to Beijing, Shushu went back to her mother's home to get married, and Abai, who was taking care of the children in the palace, also rushed back home.

Perhaps he was addicted to incognito visits, so on the day Yonglian married Shushu, Hongli took Langya out of the palace and came to the prince's mansion.

Jingqin and Jingse, one responsible for external affairs and the other for internal affairs, arranged the palace in an orderly manner, so Yonglian only needed to worry about the wedding. Zhangjiafu also knew that Yonglian was in poor health and was very considerate in arranging a sedan chair.

Yonglian's wedding ceremony went very smoothly. With Hongli and Langya in charge, no one dared to force him to drink or make trouble in the bridal chamber.

Yonglian and Shushu stayed in Beijing for three months. At the end of summer, they hurriedly followed Langya back to the Jinan Palace.

The two sisters Jingqin and Jingse stayed, but Jingqin had to go back to Mongolia to handle some government affairs, so Jingse followed Jingqin to Khorchin.

The bustling Changchun Palace suddenly became quiet again, and Hongli felt a little lonely. Coincidentally, good news came from the eldest prince's mansion. The wife and concubine of the eldest prince were pregnant one after another.

After waiting for a long time, today finally came. The eldest prince no longer dared to act like a demon. He secretly gathered many maids and doctors and raised them like poisonous insects. Whenever the wife and concubine went out, they were followed by servants in the yard.

Hongli's eldest son had a wife, his second son got married, and it was time for his third son to choose a wife. Hongli finally felt a sense of midlife crisis.

The sense of crisis reached its peak one morning.

Yangxindian Courtyard

Hongli was inspired to practice the Five Animal Exercises, but suddenly his knees went weak and he almost fell.

Wang Qin was so scared that he quickly supported him.

Wang Qin shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Hongli asked in confusion, "My hands and feet are powerless. What's wrong?"

Wang Qin frowned and said, "You have been having trouble sleeping these nights. I will ask Doctor Xia to come and see you."

Hongli nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Qin winked and Jinzhong ran out to call the imperial physician.

Not long after, Xia Zhang came in panting.

Xia Zhang bowed and said, "May the Emperor be well and safe."

Hongli nodded and said, "Get up and show me what's going on lately."

Wang Qin added, "The Emperor has been having trouble sleeping these past few days. He just had a bout of boxing and his hands and feet are still a little weak."

Xia Zhang stepped forward to feel the emperor's pulse and said, "Your Majesty is in good health, but he shouldn't worry or overwork himself. He's been very worried and tired lately, which is why he's had these nightmares."

Hongli nodded and said, "Since July, the Yellow River has been flooding. Gao Bin and Gao Heng, father and son, have personally gone down to the river. I worry every day that the Yellow River will burst its banks and the people will suffer."

Xia Zhang nodded and prescribed a few doses of tranquilizing soup for Hongli.

Yangxindian

Hongli was tired from reading memorials, so he took a short nap, but was awakened by a nightmare.

Hongli supported his head and coughed a few times.

Jinzhong observed his expression and asked, "Your Majesty, is having a headache again?"

Hongli nodded, and Jinzhong stepped forward to press Hongli's head.

night

Hongli continued to review memorials while coughing. Wang Qin felt distressed and offered him some snow pear soup, saying, "Your Majesty, autumn is approaching and the weather is dry. The imperial kitchen has prepared some snow pear soup for you. Would you like some?"

Wang Qin said worriedly, "The Emperor hasn't had a good rest since the end of July. He's been reading memorials day and night. You must be careful about his health."

Hongli sighed and said, "The Yellow River has burst its banks at Shisankou, Yangwu, Henan, and the water has destroyed countless fields. Go and pass on the order to have Gao Bin turn around and go to Henan to supervise the immediate closure of the breach."

Wang Qin: “Yeah.”

Hongli works non-stop and his health is not as good as it was in his youth, and he gradually feels that he is unable to cope with the work. However, Hongli is unwilling to give up and always dreams of returning to his heyday. Wang Qin knows Hongli's worries and tries to comfort him, but Jinzhong has his own ulterior motives.

Jinzhong secretly found A Ruo.

Qixiang Palace

A Ruo looked at Jing Shu waving the whip fiercely with a smile on her face.

Ye Xin whispered a few words, and A Ruo asked Jing Shu to rest for a while and went to the main hall to meet Jin Zhong.

Ah Ruo smiled and said, "Eunuch Jinzhong, what brings you to Qixiang Palace?"

Jinzhong smiled and said, "Let's not mince words, Madam Shenfei, I have a message that I need you to pass on to Princess Yongle."

Ah Ruo's calm smile gradually faded, and she asked, "What is Eunuch Jinzhong saying? I don't understand."

Jinzhong laughed and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shen is joking. How could you not understand? I can tell you the news first. It is up to you whether you want to pass on the message or not."

Ah Ruo asked cautiously, "Why should I trust you?"

Jinzhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty has someone in front of you, you can go and ask. If the information I said is even slightly wrong, I will leave it to you to deal with."

Jinzhong stepped forward and whispered, "The Emperor has been weak lately and has been trying to find a way to regain his strength."

After Jinzhong finished speaking, he took a step back and said, "I will take my leave."

A Ruo was horrified, and Ye Xin stepped forward to comfort her.

Ah Ruo grabbed Ye Xin's hand and asked, "Does he know? What did he come to see me for?"

Ye Xin was an outsider and saw things more clearly than A Ruo. He consoled her, "Eunuch Jinzhong wants to surrender and wants the master's help."

Ah Ruo was silent, then said, "Pass this news quietly back to the princess's residence."

Ye Xin nodded and said, "Yes."

A Ruo carefully examined her expression, adjusted herself, and then went out to watch Jing Shu swing the whip.

princess mansion

Wei Yanwan was responsible for staying in the capital to collect information. As soon as she received the news from A Ruo, Wei Yanwan immediately sent a message to Jingqin.

Khorchin Prince's Palace

Jingqin frowned as she listened to the ministers' overt and covert probing, and said with a smile, "It seems that you all care about me very much?" It seemed that she had stayed in the capital for a long time this time, and people's hearts were a little unsettled.

Jingqin said bluntly, "Muren, what do you intend to do by seizing over a hundred horses from the herdsmen? If you don't return them today, I will have no choice but to bring the herdsmen to your house to demand an explanation.

Hasen, why did your son Bayin go to Junggar? Was he trying to borrow troops from Junggar? What a pity! The grasslands are difficult to navigate. You might have to take care of his funeral.

Chagan, you're hoarding so much wool, aren't you trying to drive up the price during the winter? You can give it a try..."

Jingqin scolded the ministers from beginning to end, leaving them speechless. How could Jingqin know so much about their little moves when she had been away from Beijing for so long?

Killed Bayin from far away in the capital? Hasen, who had not received any news from Bayin, was furious and cursed: "So what if you are a princess? You are just a..."

Jingqin took out a whip and strangled the tall Hassan with the whip, then dragged him to the ground. Abai and his men stepped forward, grabbed Hassan and dragged him away.

Jingqin smiled and said, "Hasen intends to collude with the Junggar and betray Khorchin. Kill him. This princess will grant you one last favor. Go and accompany your son Bayin."

The ministers were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

Jingqin: "It's only been less than half a year since I left Khorchin, and you've already lost your resolve? If anyone else tries to provoke me in the future, you'll suffer the same fate as Hasen did today."

Jingqin left Sangyu and Lancui in Korchin to handle mundane affairs, but the two had never received any official training and could not control the ministers under them, which made them rebellious.

When Jingqin returned to Beijing this time, she asked Hongli for a talented person, Menghe, who was specifically responsible for handling the mundane affairs of Khorchin and suppressing ministers. Menghe had some decision-making power, and the results of the decisions were handed over to Sangyu and Lancui for review and compiled into a book for her to review.

Jingqin is now handling some important state affairs, suppressing disobedient ministers, and inspecting Korchin several times to see if there are any omissions.

Jingqin will have to stay for a long time this time. Fortunately, Jingse came with her. Jingse specifically helped Jingqin to supervise the accounts at the Wool Bureau, which reduced Jingqin's burden.

When Jingqin received the news, she was a little confused. She wondered why Jinzhong would contact her on his own initiative, even though they had no connection in this life.

But Jingqin still accepted Jinzhong's surrender. Although Wang Qin was greedy for money and lustful, he still had feelings for Hongli. Jinzhong dared to do such cruel things, but Wang Qin did not dare and was unwilling to do them.

Jingqin thought about it and decided to send a message to Wei Yanwan, asking her to pass the message to Concubine Mei.

After Mei Changzai performed a dance in Hangzhou, she was greatly favored by Hongli. After returning to the palace, he couldn't wait to confer the title of noble lady on her.

When Concubine Mei received the news, she asked her maid Ning Xi to talk to Jinzhong while she was on duty.

As expected, Jinzhong half-believed and half-doubted and found an opportunity to come to Mei Guiren's palace to give her reward.

Yongshou Palace

Concubine Mei smiled and said, "Eunuch Jinzhong, I heard that the emperor was feeling unwell today. Is that true?"

Jinzhong doubted, "This matter...I don't know either."

Concubine Mei continued, "I've found a way. The imperial physician said drinking deer blood wine can enhance male sexual performance. I wonder if I can give it to the emperor to try."

Jinzhong smiled and said, "My Lord has good intentions."

Mei Guiren raised her eyebrows and said, "Ningxi, send the eunuch out."

Ning Xi: "Yes."

After Ning Xi sent it out, she stuffed the red seal into Jinzhong's hand.

Jinzhong accepted it and opened it. Inside was three silver notes, enclosed in a red envelope with only two small words: "Cooperation." A small plum blossom was drawn behind the words.

Jinzhong found a place to secretly burn the red seal.
