Chapter 440: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace - 惢心 also wants to be the queen 21

Concubine Jia suggested renovating the Jingren Palace where Concubine Yi lived on the grounds that Concubine Yi was pregnant. The Emperor also followed Concubine Jia's suggestion and issued an order to renovate the Jingren Palace.

Just like in the drama, the Emperor asked Concubine Xian to learn how to assist in managing the six palaces.

Maybe this is the power of the plot. No matter how惢心 destroys and changes it, as long as the heroine is still offline, the plot will slowly return to the main line.

Suo Xin frowned as she looked at the dishes delivered today. There were only six or seven dishes. There were not many meat dishes, and fish and shrimp dishes accounted for more than half. How could she eat them?

She still remembered the first time the imperial kitchen sent her fish and shrimp. At that time, the baby in Concubine Mei's belly was still fine, and the emperor was there too. She deliberately pretended to vomit and was disgusted by the fish and shrimp in order to avoid the imperial kitchen sending her fish and shrimp again.

After that, the imperial kitchen never sent fish and shrimp to her palace again. Later, it provided fish and shrimp exclusively to Concubine Mei, but these things appeared on her table again.

She clearly remembered that the fish and shrimp had been tampered with. The eunuch who was responsible for providing fish and shrimp to pregnant concubines had been bribed and fed the fish and shrimp with cinnabar.

Didn’t the system say that there was a mother-child halo? Concubine Jia would not have any bad intentions towards her child. The unborn baby in her belly also belonged to Concubine Jia in the plot. But Concubine Jia still provoked Gao Xiyue to set her sights on her.

Seeing that the queen had put down her chopsticks, Xue Man hurried forward and asked with concern, "Has the queen lost her appetite after seeing the fish and shrimp? The imperial kitchen is the same. They sent these to you even though they knew that the queen doesn't like fish and shrimp. But I heard that Concubine Yi loves to eat fish and shrimp. She also said that if you eat more fish and shrimp during pregnancy, your baby will be smart."

惢心: "You can just listen to this, but have you forgotten that Concubine Mei ate too much fish and shrimp, and got sores on her mouth, and eventually gave birth to a stillborn baby."

As soon as Empress Xue Manjing reminded her, she immediately thought of the key point. "What the Empress means is that there is something wrong with these fish and shrimps."

Suo Xin nodded, and then instructed: "Don't make it public, just pretend you don't know."

"Yes!" Xue Man nodded in response. Her Majesty didn't allow it to be made public, so there must be a reason for that.

It was a bit annoying that Concubine Jia and Gao Xiyue had turned their attention to her, but they were really useful vanguards who charged into battle, and she couldn't bear to see them go offline like this.

She also needed Concubine Jia and Gao Xiyue to continue pulling out useless weeds for her.

During this period, the Queen was busy urging the Second Prince Yonglian to study. It was also because the Queen was too strict that the Second Prince Yonglian became weak and suffered from asthma. The Queen focused all her attention on the Second Prince.

While Concubine Xian was busy learning and assisting in the management of the six palaces, she also supervised the palace servants in renovating the Jingren Palace.

However, it was when Ruyi was urging the palace maids that Concubine Yi let out a terrified cry, which enabled Ruyi to promptly discover the snake that had fallen from the beam of Jingren Palace. She then sprinkled realgar powder in time to drive the snake away. After all, the snake that appeared in Jingren Palace disturbed Concubine Yi's fetus.

A snake appeared in Jingren Palace, and Concubine Yi dared not live there. Originally, the Queen suggested taking Concubine Yi to Changchun Palace for care. However, Concubine Jia mentioned that the Second Prince Yonglian was ill and needed someone to take care of him, and she was too busy to do that.

The Queen gave up the idea and took the initiative to ask the Emperor to bring the Second Prince back to the palace to take care of him.

As for Concubine Yi, at the suggestion of Concubine Jia, the Emperor asked Ruyi to take on the responsibility of taking care of Concubine Yi.

Under Ruyi's careful care, Concubine Yi ate fish and shrimp like crazy. She had the same symptoms as Concubine Mei at the beginning. She had sores on her mouth, but she still kept eating fish and shrimp.

On this day, Suo Xin, who was having dinner with the emperor, had just started their meal.

Li Yu hurried in.

Li Yu: "Your Majesty, this is bad."

The emperor saw Li Yu in a panic and had a bad feeling in his heart. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yu reported back: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has had bleeding."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Li Yu's report, the emperor stood up from his chair in shock.

Li Yu repeated it again.

Suo Xin looked worried. "Your Majesty, I will go with you to see Concubine Yi."

The emperor's eyes fell on her bulging belly and said, "You are already pregnant, it is not suitable for you to move around. Just stay in the bedroom and don't run around."

After saying this, he left Yongshou Palace.

The sky gradually darkened. Suo Xin heard that Concubine Yi, who was taken care of by Ruyi after moving into the Yanx Palace, had her period. The imperial physician gave Concubine Yi a drug to induce labor, which resulted in the birth of a dead fetus.

However, the imperial physician found out from the dead fetus that Concubine Yi's abdominal pain and the fetus were dead in the womb due to poisoning.

The emperor and the empress then ordered a thorough investigation, and the palace servants who were investigating found cinnabar in the charcoal ashes of Concubine Yi in the Yanx Palace.

Cinnabar contains mercury. Cinnabar poisoning can cause abdominal pain, fetal malformation, or miscarriage in pregnant women.

At dawn, everyone was invited to Changchun Palace by the Queen, even the pregnant Suo Xin was no exception.

The Queen has ordered a search of the Yanxi Palace, and everyone is waiting for the results of the search.

Not long after, Su Lian came back with several eunuchs behind her. Su Lian handed the cinnabar she had found to the queen.

The queen sniffed it and said, "Your Majesty, please smell what this cinnabar smells like." After the queen finished speaking, she handed the cinnabar box to the emperor.

After the emperor smelled it, he looked at Ruyi in disbelief. After a long while, he spoke seriously, "It's the smell of agarwood."

Ruyi's breathing stagnated and she opened her mouth wide, but no sound came out.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ruyi.

The Queen Mother said in advance: "Empress Xian, I remember that you are the only one in this palace who uses agarwood."

Ruyi was stunned for a long while before she reacted and knelt down to reply, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I really don't know why there is a box of cinnabar in the drawer of the dressing table."

The Queen called Su Lian, who hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Queen, I found this box of cinnabar under the drawer of Concubine Xian's dressing table. When I was searching for it, A Ruo was trying to stop me from searching. It seems that A Ruo also knew about it, so I brought her here as well."

"There's no need to call Arruo yet. Just raise your heads." The queen's eyes fell on the eunuchs behind Su Lian.

Everyone had bruises on their faces.

Queen: "Do you know these people, Concubine Xian?"

Ruyi looked back and replied, "Xiao Fuzi is from my palace, Xiao Luzi is from the imperial kitchen and is responsible for delivering fish and shrimp to Noble Lady Yi, and I don't know the other one."

After Xiao Anzi finished his reply, the Queen obviously didn't believe it.

Then the Queen sorted out the whole thing for everyone. When the Queen asked Xiao Luzi who had ordered to put cinnabar in the fish and shrimp, Xiao Luzi directly pointed out Ruyi.

Three eunuchs bit Ruyi to death.
