Zhu Yixiu is reborn in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and single-handedly kills her way throug

A few days later, the female guard of Qixiang Palace suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain.

After all, she was someone who came out of Jingren Palace, and even though she had been a court lady for so long, no one dared to be too negligent towards her.

The imperial physician arrived quickly and made the diagnosis quickly.

The female guard ate something she shouldn't have.

Hai Lan was in charge of the imperial kitchen, so naturally she was unhappy.

After several investigations, the cause of Wei's persistent abdominal pain was finally determined.

Jin Changzai was dissatisfied with the favor of the guard's daughter, which caused her own favor to plummet.

After several rounds of dissatisfaction, he had someone add Sophora flavescens powder to the food of the guard's wife.

Excessive use of this substance will cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, persistent abdominal pain.

When the matter was reported to the Yangxin Palace, Wei was given the title of concubine and Jin Changzai was confined to her house for half a month.

Just let it go.

But the emperor's decree ends here, Qingying will not let her go so easily.

As to what happened in the end, let’s wait and see.

...

In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhang Tingyu stood there with his hands behind his back, and only spoke after Hongli finished reading the memorial.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for two years, yet the empress remains vacant. I, a humble servant, dare to ask if Your Majesty intends to appoint a queen."

Hongli frowned slightly. "The mourning period for the late emperor hasn't even been completed for three years, so why are you so anxious to establish a queen?"

Zhang Tingyu bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I am not being nosy. The rule is to select a concubine every three years. The three-year mourning period for the late emperor is approaching, so a selection must be held then."

"If the Central Palace remains vacant, it will inevitably lead to unnecessary concerns."

"For the sake of stability, if the Emperor has a decision to make, please issue an order as soon as possible."

Hongli put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "According to your opinion, who should be the queen?"

"I am deeply troubled. Although the enthronement of the empress is extremely important, it is ultimately the Emperor's decision. How can such a humble servant have any say in this? I dare not speak rashly."

Hongli sealed the memorial and said, "You are a veteran minister who has served three dynasties. There is nothing you cannot say. Although the enthronement of the empress is a family matter, the empress is the mother of the country, so it is also a state matter. Naturally, you should be cautious. Just speak up."

Zhang Tingyu did not speak casually because of what Hongli said.

He seemed to be thinking for a moment, then bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am so embarrassed that I cannot explain it in one word."

There was still no mention of the choice of queen.

The silence in the hall lasted for a moment, and Hongli reached out and took an imperial edict from the side, which seemed to have been kept for some time.

"Take it and have a look."

Wang Qin and Li Yu were not around.

Zhang Tingyu stepped forward, took it and unfolded it.

After a moment of silent observation, he offered it with both hands again, "It turns out that the emperor has already made a decision. It was me who spoke too much."

"My dear minister, there's no need to say that. You are my most trusted minister, and it's your duty to remind me. How could I feel uncomfortable?"

"And what you said makes sense. Only when the harem is stable can the front court be more stable. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant. I originally planned to canonize her after she gives birth. Now it seems that the decree to canonize her can be announced in advance."

"Your Majesty is thoughtful and considerate. I admire you."

Naturally, no trace of the conversation between the emperor and his ministers in the Yangxin Palace would be leaked.

But just after the first month of the lunar year, an imperial edict of enthronement was delivered to Jingren Palace.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I, with the power of Heaven, bring order to the universe, and spread harmony throughout the four seasons. I have heard that Imperial Noble Consort Ulanara, born of a distinguished family, is of noble descent, virtuous and respectful, and a model of virtue. She is worthy of being the mother of the world. Now, in obedience to the Empress Dowager's benevolent order, I hereby enthronize you as Empress. Your Majesty, I revere you."

Qingying was kneeling in the main hall of Jingren Palace with a big belly.

But I was a little surprised.

The ceremony of enthroning the Imperial Noble Consort had not yet taken place, but unexpectedly, the decree to enthrone the Empress came first.

After thinking about it, I remembered what the Queen Mother said a few days ago, and I had a rough guess in my mind.

I think the Queen Mother’s actions were indispensable in this.

In the past, it was normal for her to have some connections with court officials after controlling the harem for many years.

Putting aside her chaotic thoughts, Qingying simply bowed slightly and said, "I obey your command and thank you for your grace."

Wang Qin placed the imperial edict in Qingying's hands, and his smile became even more flattering.
