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

Yongshou Palace Courtyard

Ruyi, along with Rong Pei and her companions, entered the Yongshou Palace courtyard in a threatening manner, and the palace maids and eunuchs trembled with fear. When the palace maids and eunuchs saw Ruyi coming, they all bowed and greeted her.

Ruyi didn't ask anyone to bow this time, and interrupted hastily, "No need to greet, everyone, please leave."

The palace maids and eunuchs dispersed upon hearing this.

Rong Pei sent people to call out all the concubines in Yongshou Palace, except Lin Ruoyao.

Ruyi stood outside the East Side Hall with Rong Pei, her face gloomy, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Concubine Mei from Yongshou Palace?"

East Side Hall of Yongshou Palace

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoyao quickly put on her scattered clothes and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Hongli began to play dead, and said under the influence of alcohol: "I feel very dizzy and want to sleep for a while. You go out first and ask the imperial concubine to go back first."

Lin Ruoyao gritted her teeth, wanting to cry but unable to, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't sleep! The Imperial Concubine will blame me."

Hongli waved his hand and said, "She is the Imperial Noble Consort, and you are a concubine. It's okay if she scolds you a few times to calm the Imperial Noble Consort down. I will go see the Imperial Noble Consort when I feel better. Go out."

Lin Ruoyao was stunned. "Are you talking like that?" With Ruyi's stubborn personality, how could she persuade her? "You drank the deer blood wine, and now you're using her as a shield? Don't even think about it!"

Lin Ruoyao pretended to be helpless and said, "Yes."

Yongshou Palace Courtyard

Lin Ruoyao came out in a hurry, tidying up her clothes as she walked.

When Ruyi saw this, she was even more furious.

Lin Ruoyao knelt down with a plop and said, "I didn't know the Imperial Noble Consort was coming. I was unable to greet her from afar. I hope the Imperial Noble Consort will forgive me."

Ruyi glanced at Lin Ruoyao coldly and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Lin Ruoyao stammered, "The Emperor, the Emperor is drunk and has fallen asleep in the bedroom."

Ruyi angrily asked, "You made the deer blood wine and let the emperor drink it?"

Lin Ruoyao looked around and said something else: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is really focused on getting better. I also want to persuade the Emperor to pay attention to his health, but I can't persuade him."

Ruyi said coldly, "You are good at shirking responsibility."

Lin Ruoyao said aggrievedly: "The emperor asked me to accompany you, and I dare not disobey."

Ruyi said coldly, "If you can't persuade the Emperor, you can come and tell me and the Empress Dowager. You've been indulging the Emperor's temper and wantonly concealing his secrets. You have ill intentions!"

Lin Ruoyao pleaded, "I deserve the reprimand from the Imperial Concubine, but please consider the Emperor's face and go back to the palace to rest. The Emperor said that he will come to see you when he is better."

Rong Pei added fuel to the fire, "As a concubine, how dare you chase the Imperial Noble Consort away? Lady Mei is too bold."

Ruyi glanced coldly at everyone in Yongshou Palace and scolded, "The Emperor is drunk and intoxicated, and tired of state affairs, yet you have no intention of admonishing him. Instead, you flatter and try to seduce him. Are you capable of bearing this sin?"

Hongli, who had been playing dead in the palace, could no longer endure it. Lin Ruoyao had said it so clearly, but Ruyi didn't understand what she was saying? Why did she still insist on making such a fuss? Seeing that Lin Ruoyao was useless, Hongli had no choice but to go out and stop her.

Jinzhong helped Hongli out. Hongli stumbled and asked with a guilty conscience, "Why is the Imperial Noble Consort here?"

Ruyi saw Hongli coming and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I respectfully greet you."

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Get up. I just drank a little wine, it's nothing serious. Don't worry, Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi, however, refused to give in and said coldly, "I have been with the Emperor for many years, and I have never seen him drinking in broad daylight."

Hongli said awkwardly, "Maybe I've been feeling tired lately, so I've been slacking off a bit."

As he was talking, he started coughing, which made Ruyi even angrier.

Ruyi said coldly, "Your Majesty, drinking alcohol harms your health. I dare not say anything. However, the concubines, seeking a temporary solution, gave you deer blood wine. Deer blood wine is too hot, and Your Majesty is weak at this time. I am really worried that Your Majesty will not be able to absorb the nourishment and harm your body."

The palace maids behind Ruyi lowered their heads even lower. How could they just casually say that the emperor was weak and wanted to drink deer blood wine to replenish his body? Ruyi wanted to die, but they still wanted to live!

Lin Ruoyao wanted to laugh out loud in her heart. You two dogs are such a perfect match. You put all the blame on her. Hongli even wanted to push her out to take the blame. Now you are behaving yourself!

Tomorrow, Hongli's reputation of being addicted to alcohol and sex will spread everywhere. Let's see if Hongli can still remain as calm as he was just now and let her come out alone to suffer Ruyi's anger.

Hongli was irritated by Ruyi's stubbornness, but mindful of his own precarious reputation, he said gently, "Royal Consort, I understand your feelings, but as I said just now, this matter is over. It's broad daylight now, so please disperse and return to your respective palaces."

Ruyi remained silent, and the concubines looked at each other, not daring to leave.

Hongli was about to leave, holding Jinzhong's hand, when he turned around and saw the concubines kneeling where they were. He shouted, "What? Didn't you hear me?"

Ruyi said coldly, "Your Majesty, they are kneeling here because they know they are wrong. Are you going to let them off lightly?"

Several concubines were shocked. They knelt down out of consideration for Ruyi. Ruyi wanted to punish them with just a few words?

One of the young maids couldn't stand it any longer and retorted, "Your Majesty, I dare not leave! Today, Concubine Shen was almost sent to Jinan by the Imperial Noble Consort just for saying a few fair words. I still want to serve you, how dare I disobey the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Hongli turned around and said coldly, "The Imperial Noble Consort is so persistent. No wonder they are so afraid of you."

Lin Ruoyao turned to Hongli and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, it is my fault. I am guilty. Please don't be angry with me, my Royal Concubine. I am willing to accept the punishment. My Royal Concubine, please return to the palace first. I am willing to go to the Jinan Palace."

Ruyi remained silent, and Hongli was extremely angry. Lin Ruoyao gave her a way out but she was unwilling to come down. What did Ruyi want to do?

Rong Pei tried to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, Sanbao has some hangover soup. Your Majesty, please drink it while it's hot."

Rong Pei took the hangover soup from the tray.

Hongli said coldly: "No need, I just vomited and it made me feel uncomfortable, I don't want to drink anymore."

When Ruyi heard this, she snatched the sobering soup from Rong Pei's hand, walked up the stairs, stood in front of Hongli, and put the sobering soup directly on Hongli's face.

Hongli said coldly: "Didn't I say I wouldn't drink?"

Ruyi said firmly, "Your Majesty has drunk so much, he should drink some sobering soup to calm down."

Hongli was so angry that he reached out and knocked the hangover soup from Ruyi's hand, and angrily said, "I said you don't want to drink it, so don't drink it."

The teacup in Ruyi's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Ruyi couldn't stand still and took a few steps back, almost stepping on air. Everyone behind her was startled.

Rong Pei stepped forward to steady her, and said nervously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ruyi stood firm and said coldly, "If Your Majesty is angry and wants to punish me, I dare not say anything more. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't take care of his body, and I am really distressed."

Hongli closed his eyes and said helplessly, "I am tired today, so I will rest here with Concubine Mei. Imperial Concubine, please go back to your own palace and think calmly about what you have done wrong.

Mei Guiren, please come back with me. Everyone else should stop kneeling here and go back to your own palaces."

Lin Ruoyao stood up and walked over to Hongli. The other concubines also left. Hongli was about to take Lin Ruoyao back to the palace.

Ruyi said coldly, "Your Majesty has appointed me as Imperial Noble Consort, so speaking frankly and giving advice is not wrong. If Your Majesty blames me, I will kneel down and accept the punishment myself."

After saying that, Ruyi knelt down directly.

Hongli was shocked. He turned around and frowned, "What are you doing? I've made you Imperial Noble Consort, not Empress! What qualifications do you have to speak out and give me advice?"

Ruyi was so angry that she knelt in front of the palace without saying a word.

Hongli said angrily: "If you want to kneel, then kneel."

Lin Ruoyao looked at the two of them and said, "Royal Concubine, please stop being angry with the Emperor. This is my fault. And please don't kneel here. It will hurt the Emperor's reputation."

Ruyi looked at Lin Ruoyao coldly without saying a word.

Hongli waved his hand and returned to the east side hall.

Rong Pei was stunned. Seeing Hongli walked in indifferently, Rong Pei advised: "My queen, why are you doing this?"

Ruyi said calmly, "If my husband doesn't take care of his body, can't I, as a wife, try to persuade him? Even if he is a high and mighty king, and I am a subject, can't I offer some advice?"

Rong Pei couldn't persuade her any further.

Inside the East Side Hall

Hongli sat down and said calmly, "How long does she plan to kneel?"

Lin Ruoyao said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, if you don't speak first, the Imperial Concubine will probably not get up."

Hongli sneered, "She is using her status as the Imperial Noble Consort to threaten me."

Hongli had never regretted so much about making Ruyi the Imperial Noble Consort.

Lin Ruoyao was afraid that the two would clash and provoke her, so she spoke up, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is also worried about you. How about I go out and admit my fault and persuade the Imperial Concubine to leave first? Even if the Imperial Concubine kneels, it will only embarrass you."

Hongli said coldly: "No need, if she wants to kneel, let her kneel." Why is it that he always has to bow his head?

Yongshou Palace Courtyard

The more Ruyi knelt, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she was stubborn and refused to leave. She looked up at the plaque of Yongshou Palace, her body swayed, and she fainted in Rong Pei's arms.

Rong Pei hugged Ruyi tightly and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Your Majesty, please wake up!"

East Side Hall of Yongshou Palace

Hongli stood up immediately after hearing Rong Pei's cry. Lin Ruoyao also stood up and followed.

Yongshou Palace Courtyard

Hongli rushed out and saw Ruyi fainted. He was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and slapped Ruyi's face, shouting, "Ruyi, Ruyi? Prepare the sedan chair and call the imperial physician!"

Lin Ruoyao followed out in a hurry, extremely worried. If something happened to Ruyi, it would be her fault even if it wasn't, not to mention that it was her fault in the first place!

Ruyi was sent away in a hurry, and Lin Ruoyao could only follow anxiously, fearing that something might happen to Ruyi.

Gyeongin Palace

Hongli paced anxiously and asked Wang Qin, "How is the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Wang Qin didn't dare to answer. Hongli was drunk and did not ride in the same sedan chair with Ruyi. When Ruyi was taken out of the sedan chair, her lower body was bleeding. He didn't dare to tell Hongli.

Jiang Zhou and Xia Zhang were treating the patient inside, and Jiang Zhou was impressed by Jing Qin's foresight. Ruyi drank the secret recipe for childbirth, but instead of staying in the palace, she ran out to speak out and even knelt down to force Hongli to give her a fight. It would be amazing if she could still keep this forced child!

Xia Zhang sighed deeply, and Jiang Zhou shook his head. The two looked at each other in silence.

Ruyi woke up quickly.

Rong Pei shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is awake, awake!"

Ruyi woke up and saw a group of people gathered around her bed, all with sad faces. Hongli rushed in and asked, "Ruyi, are you awake?"

Ruyi was still angry. She only glanced at Hongli, looked around, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hongli felt a little embarrassed and withdrew his hand. He didn't know what was wrong with Ruyi, so he could only sit there awkwardly.

Rong Pei said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, I'm so sorry... We can still have children in the future..."

Hongli was incredulous and asked, "What happened to Ruyi? Xia Zhang, tell me!"

Xia Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort has been pregnant for a month. She is weak and has been kneeling outside the palace for a long time, so she has miscarried."

Ruyi sat up and asked, "Jiangzhou?!"

Jiang Zhou sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am deeply saddened by your condolences. We will have children in the future."

Ruyi opened her eyes wide, unable to utter a word. She lay back on the bed blankly, not saying a word.

Hongli was a little embarrassed, but felt sorry for Ruyi, so he could only comfort her: "Ruyi, I was impulsive. Please don't be angry with me anymore. We will have children in the future."

Ruyi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I am angry with you? Your Majesty, please go back. I want to be alone."

Hongli's heartache was also washed away by Ruyi's indifference. He stood up and said, "Then I will return to the Yangxin Palace first. You should have a good rest."

Ruyi turned over and refused to pay attention to Hongli, so Hongli left in anger.

Xia Zhang also took his leave soon after.

Only Jiangzhou stayed. Ruyi was alone facing the wall, isolating herself from everyone else. Rong Pei thought Ruyi was too sad, so she asked everyone to leave.

Jiang Zhou didn't believe it. Ruyi didn't shed a single tear, so how could she be sad... If she was really sad, she shouldn't have run around while pregnant.

He repeatedly emphasized that drinking the medicine would allow one to get pregnant quickly. Since Ruyi drank the medicine, she has been almost the only favorite, and only fell out of favor a few days ago. If Ruyi really cared, she should have been like Shufei and never left the house.

Instead of asking herself, who might be pregnant, to rush to Yongshou Palace to force her, and kneel outside the palace to force her, wasn't it because the baby in her belly was not as important as anything else in her eyes?
