I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 22 Chen Wanyin 22

After惢心 returned, she told Ruyi about her conversation with Yonghuang.

Ruyi knew that the plan was halfway to success and she just needed to wait for the right time to implement it.

Chen Wanyin also knew the news, but she did not take any action and would not interfere with Ruyi's actions.

She already knew that Jin Yuyan had used the same trick on Huang Qiying. When Huang Qiying's child was gone, Hongli would surely be furious. Two children had been lost in the harem in a row, so he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Queen Mother might also take action, and Jin Yuyan would definitely find a scapegoat, and Ruyi would be a good choice.

Even if there was any use in raising an eldest prince, she would soon no longer be happy.

Anyway, she doesn't like Ruyi, so she doesn't care what the consequences will be for her.

Not long after, the opportunity came. Once, Hongli went to the Shangshufang to check the prince's homework. Ruyi learned the news and immediately asked Ulanara's people to take the eldest prince's wet nurse away.

Yonghuang also took this opportunity to expose his injured arm to Hongli, complained about his grievances, and said that if only his mother, Concubine Zhe, were still around, he would not have to be bullied.

His words made Hongli feel guilty towards him.

Hongli saw that his eldest son was having a hard time without his mother, so he thought of finding a foster mother for him.

But after thinking about it among all the people in the palace, he felt that only Ruyi was qualified to raise the child.

After taking Yonghuang to the Yangxin Palace, Hongli called the Queen and Ruyi. After all, the Queen was the biological mother of all the princes, and she should know about the upbringing.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, the empress listened to Hongli talk about this matter. Her expression remained unchanged, but her words also expressed her disapproval.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me raise Yonghuang? After all, I have given birth to him before."

Hongli did not agree, and despite the Queen's ugly expression, he still gave Yonghuang to Ruyi to raise.

By the time Ruyi took Yonghuang out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian had become the eldest prince's adoptive mother.

Not long after returning to the Yanx Palace, the well-informed General Manager of the Imperial Household Department, Qin Li, also went to the Yanx Palace with a large number of ornaments, fabrics, etc.

He also gave Ruyi the long-delayed monthly salary.

Of course, Ruyi still knew how to behave herself. She did not take the opportunity to deal with Qin Li. She just gave him a warning and let him go.

At the same time, he took this opportunity to beat Yonghuang's wet nurse with a stick and expelled her from the palace.

That night, because of the relationship with the eldest prince, Hongli finally entered the Yanx Palace after half a year.

After expressing their true feelings, Hongli and Ruyi returned to their previous relationship.

Because of the improved relationship with Hongli, Ruyi was treated respectfully wherever she went during this period, which made Ruyi very proud.

As the saying goes, people become arrogant when they are proud.

Sure enough, early that morning, Ruyi went to visit Huang Qiying, who was pregnant. Before she entered Huang Qiying's room, she heard Huang Qiying's loud screams.

It turned out that a snake ran into Huang Qiying's room from somewhere, scaring her so much that she screamed and even had a miscarriage.

Upon hearing the news, the emperor, the queen and Jin Yuyan also came.

Hongli attached great importance to this pregnancy. Bai Ruiji was not lucky enough to give birth to a healthy prince, and Gao Xiyue gave birth to a princess. He placed all his hopes for a son on Huang Qiying, hoping that she could give birth to a prince for him.

The queen also took this very seriously. After all, if it was a prince, she would have to raise him.

When Jin Yuyan saw this scene, she knew that the opportunity to frame Ruyi had come.

She immediately suggested that Huang Qiying's baby be taken care of by Concubine Xian.

"The Empress has to take care of the sick Second Prince, and the Imperial Concubine's daughter is still young. In my opinion, Imperial Concubine Xian is the most suitable. I have seen that Imperial Concubine Xian has taken good care of the First Prince during this period, and I think she can also take good care of Imperial Concubine Yi."

After listening to Jin Yuyan's proposal, Hongli thought about it carefully. Huang Qiying also agreed with the proposal. So without waiting for Ruyi to refute, Hongli decided to let Huang Qiying's baby be left to Ruyi to take care of.

Not to mention how aggrieved Ruyi was, she had no choice but to accept this mess because she couldn't resist Hongli.

On that day, Huang Qiying's belongings were carried to the Yanx Palace, and Ruyi also specially cleaned up the back hall for Huang Qiying to live in.

When Chen Wanyin heard the news, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Now you're letting yourself get carried away. It seems that Ruyi can't escape the cold palace after all.

It seems that Jin Yuyan will be pregnant soon, and the drama of Ruyi being sent to the cold palace will also begin.

Since Huang Qiying became pregnant, she has been feeling cold and needs to burn several charcoal basins in her room every day. Chen Wanyin knows that Jin Yuyan had put cinnabar in these charcoal basins. Cinnabar is red and does not show up at all in the burning charcoal. I'm afraid that this time Huang Qiying is even worse off than Bai Ruiji.

Sure enough, Huang Qiying soon became ill, and ultimately she could not escape Jin Yuyan's plan and had a miscarriage.

Hongli was furious when he heard this, especially when he heard the imperial physician say that Huang Qiying was pregnant with a boy. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

After all, the Queen was the master of the harem, so Hongli handed this matter over to her.

Soon the Queen got a clue and invited the Queen Mother and the Emperor to Changchun Palace, as well as all the masters in the palace.

Chen Wanyin had just sat down when the protagonist of this incident appeared. Ruyi still looked confused and had no idea what would happen next.

The Queen explained the reason for her visit and asked Lianxin to bring the evidence to the imperial physician for examination.

The results came out soon. The imperial physician found cinnabar in the charcoal basin. Cinnabar is poisonous and it was these things that caused Huang Qiying to have a miscarriage.

Huang Qiying was very sad when she heard this. Regardless of her physical discomfort, she knelt on the ground and begged the emperor and empress to find out who had killed her child.

The queen also understood that it was not enough to just find cinnabar in the charcoal basin, so she immediately ordered Su Lian, who was beside her, to search the palace.

Soon, Su Lian came back with a box of cinnabar in her hand.

The queen took it, bent her head to smell it, and then said to Hongli, "It's cinnabar."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, wondering in whose palace this was found.

Before they could finish their doubts, Su Lian answered the queen.

"Your Highness, this was found under Concubine Xian's dressing table. At the time, a young palace maid stopped me from searching. I think she knew about it, so I brought her here. She is waiting outside the door now."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Ruyi, with mockery and surprise in their eyes.

Ruyi didn't understand why it was found on her. She clearly had never used cinnabar.

At this time, Zhao Yita also told the queen the evidence of the search.

It turned out that Huang Qiying, like Bai Ruiji, loved to eat fish and shrimp when she was pregnant, and both had blisters around their mouths, so Zhao Yita went to the imperial kitchen, brought back some fish food, and gave it to the imperial physician for examination. Sure enough, there was cinnabar in the fish food.

Now Bai Ruiji was also defeated and cried and begged the emperor and empress to make the decision for her.

The queen had a few more eunuchs brought up and pointed them out to Ruyi: "Empress Xian, is there anyone you recognize here?"

Ruyi squatted on the ground and replied, "Xiao Fuzi is someone I know, and Xiao Luzi is the one who specially sent fish and shrimp to Concubine Yi."

The queen looked at Xiao Luzi and asked, "You are the one who feeds live fish and shrimps to the concubines who are pregnant. Tell me, who told you to put cinnabar in the fish and shrimps?"

Xiao Luzi glanced at Ruyi cautiously, and quickly lowered his head: "I listened to the Empress Xian's words and asked me to put cinnabar in the fish and shrimp to harm Concubine Yi and Concubine Mei. If I don't do it, Empress Xian will definitely kill my brother Xiao Fuzi."

Everyone's eyes widened. They didn't expect Ruyi to be so cruel and harm two princes.

Gao Xiyue knew that Ruyi was not a good person, so she asked the kneeling Xiao Fuzi, "Xiao Fuzi, what about you? What does Empress Xian want you to do?"

Xiao Fuzi did not hesitate: "Empress Xian threatened me to put cinnabar in Concubine Yi's charcoal basin. If I don't do it, both of us brothers will be killed by Empress Xian, so I have to do it for Empress Xian."

Ruyi was completely speechless due to what the two people said, and just sat there in a daze.

The Queen then asked Su Lian to go outside and bring up the palace maid who was blocking the way.

This maid was called Fangcao and was responsible for cleaning Ruyi's room. Chen Wanyin looked at this strange maid and had no impression of her at all. Even if A Ruo was gone, it seemed that Jin Yuyan had a way to bribe Ruyi's maids to frame her.
