Chapter 124 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 24
It would be difficult to expect the emperor to think of this himself, so Xiyue chose to tell the emperor Jin Yuyan's true thoughts clearly. After listening to Xiyue's words, the emperor finally realized that the matter of Xiao Luzi was not an ordinary matter of concubines competing for favor, but also involved a plan to "steal the country."
The emperor thought of the times Jin Yuyan called him "Prince" and felt sick as if he had eaten a fly. "People who are not of my race must have different hearts. The ancients were not deceiving me!"
Soon, the emperor ordered the palace servants serving Jin Yuyan to be taken away and put Jin Yuyan under house arrest until concrete evidence was found before making further arrangements.
After dealing with Jin Yuyan, Xiyue was not very proud. After all, Trader No. 4 hated Langya, Ruyi and Hongli the most. Once Hailan gave birth to Yongqi, it would be time to deal with Langya.
As for Hongli and Ruyi, the two of them have not tortured each other enough. It will take some time for Yongqi to grow up, so Xiyue can wait. After dealing with one of the five slapping characters, there are still four. Three need to wait for the opportunity. However, the mastermind who killed her in her previous life is still alive and well in this life. Xiyue decided to deal with the Queen Mother first before dealing with Langya.
Not long after, the emperor's people finally found out that Zhenshu was a female doctor specially trained by Yu's family, and she also admitted that she had indeed given the emperor a love potion. Although Zhenshu only admitted to giving the emperor a love potion, for the emperor, being able to give a love potion meant that he could also give poison. So this time the emperor finally stood up and not only sent people to send Zhenshu and Jin Yuyan back to Yu's family for questioning with evidence of Jin Yuyan's crimes, he also demoted Jin Yuyan to a commoner and threw her into the cold palace.
Jin Yuyan was hoping in the cold palace that Prince Yu would rescue her, but she never expected that what she got was Yu's explanation that she was not her daughter, but an abandoned baby without a father or a mother.
Jin Yuyan was so desperate that she swallowed gold and died.
Langya sensed something was wrong ever since Jin Yuyan was put under house arrest. Although she was curious about what had happened, she did not dare to send anyone to inquire. After all, Langya knew that she was now a vicious person in the eyes of the emperor, and she was able to secure the position of queen only because of Yonglian and the previous deal with the emperor. If she did anything again, it would definitely irritate the emperor, and it was possible that the emperor would depose her if he was unwilling to abide by the terms of the deal.
In order to maintain the glory of the Fucha family and her position as queen, Langya could only turn a blind eye, not daring to ask anything or investigate anything.
But the Queen Mother didn't know the inside story. She was very dissatisfied with Xiyue's control of the palace power. Xiyue's existence made her think of the late Emperor's Concubine Hua who had brought her endless pain and humiliation. But the Queen Mother couldn't persuade the Emperor. So when the Queen paid her respects to the Queen Mother that day, the Queen Mother persuaded her to take back the palace power. The Queen could not explain anything to the Queen Mother and could only smile bitterly.
Seeing the queen's behavior, the queen mother scolded Langya for being incompetent. "As a queen, you can't manage palace affairs, you can't get the emperor's respect, and you can't raise a royal heir. You are suppressed by a concubine and can't turn over. Do you want the emperor to bear the crime of favoring a concubine and ignoring his wife?"
Langya had no explanation for the Queen Mother's accusation and could only acquiesce, "Madam, please calm down. It is my son's incompetence."
Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to get the Queen to fight with Xiyue, but she found that no matter how she provoked her, the Queen still looked resigned to her fate, so the Queen Mother had no choice but to give up.
The incident in which Gao Bin strongly recommended Princess Duanshu for marriage in the previous dynasty had already happened. The empress dowager could not deal with Gao Bin, and had turned her attention to Xiyue. However, Xiyue had the power in the palace in this life, and had never taken medicine to regulate her body, so the empress dowager could not find an opportunity to take action.
The original plan was to wait until the Queen and Xiyue started fighting, and then use the Queen's people to deal with Xiyue, but she never expected that the Queen would retreat without a fight, making the Queen Mother's plan fail.
Ruyi and Lianxin's contacts become more and more frequent. In order to help Lianxin get rid of Wang Qin, or perhaps to frame Xiyue, Ruyi finally made a plan consistent with the plot.
At night, Wang Qin returned to his room. Lian Xin was unusually enthusiastic and prepared food and wine for Wang Qin. Lian Xin coaxed Wang Qin to take the medicine and proposed to play a game of hide-and-seek with Wang Qin tonight. She would hide first, and Wang Qin would not come out unless she called. If Wang Qin found her, she would let Wang Qin deal with her. Wang Qin was overjoyed and agreed. Wang Qin looked for Lian Xin everywhere. Lian Xin said that the Queen had ordered her to return to the palace to work, and if the eunuch was reluctant to leave her, he could go with her.
Lianxin intended to lead Wang Qin to the road where Xiyue appeared, but what she didn't expect was that Xiyue was not alone at this time, and the emperor was also with her. So when Wang Qin had hallucinations and behaved crazily, the person he pounced on turned out to be the emperor.
The emperor was caught off guard and was kissed several times by Wang Qin. When Wang Qin was subdued, the emperor's dragon robe was in a mess. Xiyue held back her laughter and rushed forward to ask about the emperor's well-being, while signaling the palace servants to catch Lianxin in the corner.
As it happened, the emperor had long been suspicious of Wang Qin and had arranged people to keep an eye on him, so soon, Lianxin and Ruyi's plan, including a series of things including Li Yu's cooperation, were discovered. The emperor was disgusted by Wang Qin and executed him without waiting for the truth to be found out.
After the matter was made clear, the emperor felt indescribably depressed when he saw Lianxin kneeling on the ground and crying and telling how miserable she was, and Ruyi with a stubborn look on her face.
In the end, it was his feelings for Ruyi that made the emperor choose to let her go. The emperor was willing to forgive Ruyi, but Xiyue was unwilling to do so.
"Your Majesty, do you not intend to hold Concubine Xian accountable?"
"Your Majesty doesn't care about being wronged, but I do. You have many ways to deal with Wang Qin, why do you have to bring Wang Qin to me? If your Majesty wasn't here today, would Wang Qin have insulted me?"
"You are here for me!" Xiyue sneered, "It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't care about being insulted, but if someone wants to frame me, I won't mind!"
As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, Ruyi thought she had no evidence, so she continued to act as if she was being wronged and said, "If the Imperial Concubine insists on accusing me like this, I will have no way to defend myself."
"I only know that those who are innocent will be cleared."
"Tsk. Ridiculous!" Not only was Xiyue disgusted by Ruyi's pretentious attitude, but even the emperor felt embarrassed watching from the side. Xiyue did not want to debate with Ruyi, but used her skills directly: "Tell the truth! Tell me all your plans and intentions clearly!"
Then Ruyi began to tell him all her thoughts and plans. After she finished, she covered her mouth in shock. Looking at her like that, Xiyue rolled her eyes in front of the emperor.
"What a good example! A man who is innocent is innocent and there is no point in making excuses!"
"Okay, now everything is clear. Your Majesty can handle the rest!"
After saying that, Xiyue didn't want to stay here any longer. Before leaving, Xiyue left a sentence to the emperor, "I hope the emperor won't let me down. I'm waiting for the emperor's order!"
After Xiyue left, the atmosphere in the entire palace was very awkward for a while. The emperor looked at Ruyi, who still had a stubborn look on her face, and sighed. He didn't understand how Qingying had become like this now, or was it that Qingying had always been like this, and he just didn't see it clearly?
