Chapter 123 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 23
"Moxin, go and see which little eunuch is deliberately blocking my way and crying?" Xiyue put away her smile and told Moxin with a serious face to go and check out the situation.
Mo Xin responded and walked towards the young eunuch. The two whispered a few words. Soon after, Mo Xin led the young eunuch to Xiyue and said, "Madam, this is Xiao Luzi. His family is in Hebei. There is a drought in Hebei now. He can't contact his family. He is crying here because he is worried."
"Xiao Lu Zi?" Xiyue looked at the little eunuch with interest. She remembered this person. In the plot, this Xiao Lu Zi was the key figure in the Cinnabar Bureau, and his real identity was arranged by Jin Yuyan.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine. I am Xiao Luzi." Xiao Luzi was very observant of the expressions on the faces of others. Seeing Xiyue's confusion, he hurried forward and knelt down to pay his respects.
Xiyue ignored her and wondered what Jin Yuyan wanted to do with her this time. Logically speaking, Jin Yuyan was not favored in this life. If she wanted to give birth to a son, the most important thing was not to frame other pregnant concubines, but to dispel the emperor's disgust and win his favor.
There can't really be someone who is so short-sighted that he doesn't first try to find a way to gain favor, but instead is eager to deal with other competitors, right?
Xiyue felt that based on Jin Yuyan's IQ, it shouldn't be the case. But then she thought about Jin Yuyan's series of IQ-lowering actions in the later part of the plot, and felt that under the influence of the plot, she might really do that.
No matter what Jin Yuyan wanted to do, Xiyue didn't want to cooperate. She raised her chin to signal Shuangxi to catch him, "Shuangxi, send this little Luzi to the Ministry of Punishment and find out who he is and what he wants to do with me?"
"Also, Mo Xin, when you go back, work with Xing Xuan to investigate our place and see which traitorous palace servant leaked our whereabouts."
Xiao Luzi really didn't expect Xiyue to react like this. Jin Yuyan and Zhenshu who were hiding on the side didn't expect it either. The three of them panicked. Xiao Luzi kowtowed and cried out for justice: "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. I really just happened to meet you here."
Xiyue ignored Xiao Luzi's cries and looked in the direction sensed by her mental power. Jin Yuyan and Zhenshu were frightened by Xiyue's gaze and shrank into the corner.
"Jeong-sook, Concubine Hui has discovered us. She just looked over here!" Jin Yu-yeon was really frightened. She held Jeong-sook's hand tightly and trembled all over.
Zhenshu was also afraid, but in order to comfort Jin Yuyan, she pretended to be calm and said, "No, Master, don't worry. We are far away and Concubine Hui can't see it at all."
Xiyue looked at Jin Yuyan and her servant who were frightened by her, and Xiao Luzi who was dragged away by Shuangxi, and her mood finally became less bad. As soon as she saw Xiao Luzi, Xiyue could not control the ups and downs of emotions in Trader No. 4's body. After all, the appearance of Xiao Luzi reminded Trader No. 4 of the guilt he felt in his previous life when he was used by Jin Yuyan and was blamed for harming others.
The appearance of Xiao Luzi not only represents the past of Trader No. 4 being exploited in his previous life, but also represents the stupidity of Trader No. 4 in not being able to judge people well in his previous life. No matter what Jin Yuyan wants to do in this life, Xiyue will never give her the opportunity to use herself as a shield again.
Chunpin is now 5 months pregnant. The imperial physician said it is very likely to be a boy. The emperor attaches great importance to it, and so do the other women in the harem. Especially Langya, who is afraid of losing her position. However, without Sulian, she dares not do it even if she doesn't want Chunpin to give birth to a child. She can only double her demands on Yonglian to study. Langya thinks that only if Yonglian performs better than all the princes can he sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.
As a result of Langya's desperate efforts to raise a child, Yonglian fell ill again. The imperial physician worked hard for three days to treat him and finally saved him. However, he was not as lucky this time as last time. Yonglian eventually suffered from asthma. After the emperor learned about this, he felt indescribably complicated. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his legitimate son, but on the other hand, he felt relieved. Yonglian was in poor health, and the Fucha family would not be able to support Yonglian to ascend the throne.
But after all, Yonglian was the crown prince. For the sake of court stability, the news of Yonglian's asthma had to be kept secret. After the new prince was born and the right candidate was determined, Yonglian's position as crown prince would be abolished.
The emperor ordered everyone to keep silent about it, and it never happened in his life that everyone in the harem knew that the prince had asthma. However, those who should know still knew about it, such as Xiyue and Ruyi.
Xiyue knew it because she had someone in Changchun Palace, while Ruyi knew it because it was related to Lianxin.
Just like in the plot, Ruyi met Lianxin who jumped into the lake to commit suicide in the garden. After rescuing her, Ruyi took her to Yangxinzhai. Although Lianxin insisted that she had slipped and was not seeking death, Ruyi did not believe it. She asked the servants to leave the room, leaving only herself and Lianxin.
Seeing Ruyi clearing the scene, perhaps it was this scene that made Lianxin want to confide in Ruyi. Lianxin told Ruyi that she was very miserable after marrying Wang Qin. At night, Wang Qin was like a beast. While Lianxin was talking, she lifted her sleeves and let Ruyi see the scars on her arms.
"Wang Qin is not a human being, he is a beast. He not only beats me, but also bites me and pricks me with needles. All Wang Qin needs is a woman who treats her with respect during the day and allows him to humiliate her at night."
"I can't stand it anymore, so I chose to create the illusion of falling into the water." Seeing Lianxin crying pitifully, Ruyi's eyes flashed, "I can help you escape from the sea of suffering, but now we have to wait for the right time."
After hearing what Ruyi said, Lianxin looked at Ruyi with hope. After receiving Ruyi's affirmative look, in order to repay Ruyi, Lianxin told Ruyi the cause and effect of Yonglian's illness, and emphasized: "The prince is in poor health now. If he accidentally inhales something like catkins, he may die."
Ruyi was shocked when she heard Lianxin's words: "The Queen is the prince's biological mother, how could she harm the prince like this?"
Lianxin didn't realize that Ruyi was trying to trick her, and just thought that Ruyi was confused and didn't know Langya's true face. In order to let Ruyi see the true face of the Queen, Lianxin told Ruyi what she overheard about Langya asking Su Lian to give all the women in the harem contraceptives.
Ruyi was really surprised now. She couldn't help but start to doubt whether the Queen had done something behind the scenes because she and the Emperor had not been able to consummate their marriage. So Ruyi began to recall that on the day she made an appointment with the Emperor to consummate their marriage for the first time, the Emperor happened to have had dinner in the main courtyard before coming over.
The more Ruyi thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. The more she felt that her guess was right, the more she hated Langya. "Fucha Langya, it's not enough that you took my position as the legitimate wife. You also caused the emperor and I to not be able to consummate our marriage successfully until now!"
Just when Ruyi was thinking of ways to take revenge on Langya, Xiao Luzi from the Ministry of Punishment finally couldn't withstand the interrogation and gave up the identity of Jin Yuyan behind the scenes, along with their plan, how to implement it, and other follow-up plans.
Xiyue brought Xiao Luzi's confession directly to the emperor. After giving the confession to the emperor to read, Xiyue said: "Jin's ambitions are very big, we must be on guard."
"If Jin succeeds, I will be wrongly accused, but Concubine Chun will give birth to a freak and bring disaster to the emperor's reputation! If Jin is really favored and gives birth to a son, what if something happens to the prince? Coupled with Jin's tricks, will the future of the Qing Dynasty really be taken away by a foreigner?"
