Chapter 134 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 34
The Queen used the Fucha family's connections to find out that the person who touched her spices was the imperial physician Qi Ru, so she sent people to keep an eye on Qi Ru. At first, the Queen also suspected that the person behind Qi Ru was the Emperor. After all, the entire harem knew that Qi Ru was the Emperor's most trusted imperial physician. Unexpectedly, the Fucha family met Xiyue's people during the investigation, so everything that Xiyue could find out, the Fucha family also knew.
When Xiyue went directly to the emperor with the evidence, the emperor did not punish Xiyue, but secretly arrested Qi Ru. This made Langya believe that it was the empress dowager who used Doctor Qi to attack her.
"Old witch, you used Qi Ru to drug the emperor and framed me, causing the emperor to misunderstand me for so many years. Now you even want me to die of illness, leaving no evidence!"
The female doctor of Fu Cha's family advised Langya not to seek revenge in this way. After all, her body would not be able to bear the poisonous sachet if she was exposed to it for a long time. But Langya disagreed. Now Langya was tortured by the drugs and was only able to survive by the flame of revenge in her heart.
"I don't have a child, a husband's love, or the queen's respect. Now I only have one life left, barely surviving. I'm tired. I want to find Yonglian and tell him that it was my mother who let him down."
Seeing that Langya was stubborn and could not be persuaded, the female doctor sent a message to the Fucha family. After hearing the news, Fucha's wife strongly objected: "How could Langya do this? What if the emperor finds out that she poisoned the queen mother and the queen's position is abolished?"
"For the honor of the Fucha family, Langya must not be deposed! We cannot have a deposed queen in the Fucha family! If she is really deposed, how can her brothers make a name for themselves?"
After reading the letter from Lady Fucha, Langya's heart seemed to sink into cold water. Although she had a vague feeling that her mother did not care about her that much, she never expected that even when she was about to die, her mother still did not show any concern. Instead, she was more worried that her behavior would bring a bad influence to the Fucha family, especially she was afraid that she would be deposed and affect her brother's career.
"......Haha, how sad!" This letter completely cut off Langya's escape route. She lost the desire to live and only hoped that she could hold on until the empress dowager 'died of illness'.
So Langya drank a lot of tonic medicine, pretended to have recovered from her illness, and brought a sachet filled with poison to serve the empress dowager.
Since that day, when the Emperor confirmed that the sterilizing drug he had taken was not given by the Empress, he began to order those who were keeping an eye on the Empress to withdraw from Changchun Palace and keep an eye on the Empress Dowager instead. Apart from her and the Fucha family, Xiyue was the only one who knew the truth about Langya's plan.
In the previous life, Trader No. 4 was killed by the Queen Mother using Qi Ru. Now, the Queen Mother was killed by the Queen by Xiyue using Qi Ru. Xiyue was quite satisfied thinking about it. In her previous life, Xiyue didn't know who really killed her until her death. Now that the Queen Mother was killed by the Queen, she would probably not know that she was involved.
Xiyue watched as the Queen Mother grew weaker and weaker under the Queen's "care". Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to die, the Queen collapsed first.
When the queen woke up again, she was on her deathbed. After so many years, Langya still had true feelings for the emperor. She begged to see the emperor for the last time, and the emperor agreed.
"Your Majesty, Qi Ru has been dealt with by Your Majesty. I believe Your Majesty has now realized that I was wronged."
Langya said this in a discontinuous manner. The emperor looked at Langya lying on the hospital bed and couldn't bear it after all. He had misunderstood Langya for so many years. The couple had come to this situation today because of the empress dowager's instigation behind the scenes. Now all the misunderstandings were resolved, but the regrets caused by the missed time still left deep scars in each other's hearts that could never be erased.
"Alas," the emperor sighed deeply, stepped forward and held Langya's hand, "I have misunderstood you all these years!"
Langya felt the emperor's tenderness again and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. She shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't blame the emperor. Everything is the fault of the evil people. It's just that I am unlucky. I can't avenge myself anymore, and I can't accompany the emperor anymore."
"I have a request that I hope the Emperor can agree to."
The emperor was originally feeling sorry for the relationship between him and Langya, but when he suddenly heard Langya's request, he immediately became alert. He did not agree immediately, but replied vaguely: "I don't want to hear such words, Langya, you will get better."
"As long as you can get better, Langya, no matter if it's just one request or many requests, I will definitely agree to it."
Langya was no longer able to think, let alone analyze the meaning of the emperor's words. She continued, "All I want in my life is a virtuous person. I wonder if the emperor can satisfy my wish."
When the emperor heard this request, he nodded repeatedly. It was just a small matter to use "Xian" in the posthumous title, not a big problem, so he could agree to it.
Seeing the emperor nod, Langya smiled with satisfaction. She wanted to say something to the emperor, but she left without saying it. After confirming that the queen was really gone, the emperor finally felt truly sad. He suddenly began to miss the little things he had experienced with the queen over the years, and soon he was moved.
The Queen died, but the Queen Mother's illness gradually showed signs of improvement. The Queen Mother was very smart and soon realized that there was something wrong with her illness. She took advantage of the interval between the Queen's funeral and asked Fu Jia to replace the imperial physician who treated her. When the Emperor did not react, she actively treated her. By the time the Queen's funeral was over, the Queen Mother's illness had almost healed. The only thing that made her feel sorry was that the new imperial physician found out that the medicine she had been poisoned with was a secret medicine, and now it can only stabilize her condition. If she wants to cure it, she must have an antidote, otherwise her condition will not be stable in two years at most.
When the queen passed away, Xiyue and the other concubines in the harem mourned for Langya earnestly, burned incense, and prayed for Langya in their hearts while burning paper, hoping that she would not meet an "avenger" like Xiyue in her next life.
Half a year after the Queen's funeral, the Emperor finally stopped writing poems to commemorate Langya. He ended his belated true feelings and began to pay attention to his infertility problem.
However, the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace was not like the Changchun Palace. It was difficult for the Emperor's people to sneak in and find the antidote. As the Empress Dowager's health improved, the Emperor became more and more anxious. He even went to the harem less often. Every day, he either hung out with the little concubines and palace maids in the rooms of the Yangxin Palace or summoned famous doctors from all over the country.
Soon, the Ghost Festival arrived, and the Empress Dowager held a ritual in the palace. Coincidentally, Ruyi's father led people to build a river embankment, but he slipped and fell into the water, was swept away by the tide, and died.
惢心, who was outside the palace, was deeply saddened when she heard the news. She always thought that Ruyi was the most intelligent master and that Ruyi was wrongly accused of killing the prince. Even though she was driven out of the palace because of Ruyi and broke her leg, she remained loyal to Ruyi.
In order to tell Ruyi the news of Lady Ulanara's death,惢心 asked Imperial Physician Jiang, who was allowed to enter the palace, to find a way to inform Ruyi in the cold palace. Although Imperial Physician Jiang hated Ruyi for harming惢心, he could not bear to refuse惢心's request and agreed to it.
