Hongli thought that he was the son-in-law of the Gao family. If he did not deal with Concubine Xian and A Ruo, the Gao family would be in trouble. What would he do if Gao Bin, the minister who was good at controlling floods, rebelled?

But now A Ruo cannot be executed at will. Her father Gui Duo is the magistrate of Huaiyin County, and the people of the entire Huaiyin County stand behind him. Besides, he is also good at flood control. Hongli is afraid that he will become the second Gao Bin.

The Queen sat next to Hongli, happy that Gao Xiyue had lost her child, especially because of Ruyi. But she was also worried whether Hongli would take care of Concubine Xian.

"Then punish Concubine Xian by confining her to Yanxi Palace for three months, and A Ruo will kneel before the Locust Gate for three hours every day during these three months."

Xing Xuan and Mo Xin widened their eyes: That’s it?

"Your Majesty..." The two spoke in unison, wanting Hongli to severely punish Ruyi.

Hongli waved his hand, "I have made up my mind. The noble concubine is still unconscious. You should hurry up and serve her. Queen, I leave this to you. I will go back to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials first."

After saying that, he ran away as if escaping.

The queen was left alone to deal with this mess.

The Queen had no choice but to stay and take good care of Concubine Hui.

She sat next to Concubine Hui, looking at her pale face, still feeling a little distressed.

Concubine Hui was loyal to her. If it weren't for her good family background and high status, she would not have given her the bracelet with linglingxiang added.

Speaking of Linglingxiang.

The Queen quietly put her hand on Concubine Hui's wrist.

Thinking that if Concubine Hui suffered a little from anger, the child would not be saved, and the Lingling incense would be useless. In order to prevent Concubine Hui from misunderstanding that she had murdered her child, the queen ordered Xingxuan and Moxin to do this and that. When they left, she immediately took off Concubine Hui's bracelet and poured all the Lingling incense inside onto her handkerchief.

Seeing Lianxin looking at her in surprise, the queen gave her a warning look.

Lianxin immediately resumed her honest and obedient appearance, helped the Queen to restore the bracelet, put it back on Concubine Hui's wrist, and quickly put away the handkerchief wrapped in the lingxiang and hid it in her sleeve.

The queen nodded slightly in satisfaction at Lianxin's performance.

Ever since Su Lian married Wang Qin, the Queen has felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to see Su Lian again, so she left all the personal matters to Lian Xin.

Since I plan to make use of Lianxin in the future, there are some things that I cannot hide from her. Otherwise, even if I have some thoughts, I will have no one to discuss them with.

After Mo Xin and Xing Xuan came back, the Queen stood up and said, "Mo Xin, Xing Xuan, you must take good care of your master. The Emperor has already made a decision on this matter. Although I am the Queen, I cannot go against the Emperor's wishes. You must stay by her side and persuade her to let her see things more easily. When the Imperial Concubine wakes up, you can come to Changchun Palace and tell me."

Xing Xuan and Mo Xin sent the queen away with red eyes, and then served their master with heartache.

Although Yongshou Palace was not very close to Xianfu Palace, the commotion in Xianfu Palace was quite loud. Bai Ruiji had plenty of money and had developed some connections everywhere, so the news of the imperial concubine's miscarriage reached Yongshou Palace at night.

Su Yun was really puzzled. "Because Concubine Xian and A Ruo had no children, the Emperor only punished Concubine Xian to confine her to her house for three months, and A Ruo to kneel for three months. It was really..."

Bai Ruiji: "Who said Concubine Xian is the apple of the Emperor's eye? But since the Emperor treats her so kindly, don't resent the Imperial Concubine for taking revenge on Concubine Xian in the future."

Su Yun: "My Lord, are you saying that the Imperial Concubine will take revenge on Concubine Xian?"

Bai Ruiji: "Otherwise, given the imperial concubine's body, this child might be the only one she will have in this life."

In fact, it wasn't even her only child, because Concubine Hui had never been pregnant at all. The reason why she showed the pulse and condition of being pregnant was because the last time Bai Ruiji went to Xianfu Palace, she asked Su Yun to give her a fake pregnancy pill.

Speaking of which, this fake pregnancy pill is a good thing.

In recent years, the Queen Mother hated Gao Bin because Gao Bin had suggested in the court that Princess Duanshu should marry into the Junggar Khanate, so she had been asking Qi Ru to add something to Concubine Hui's medicine, wanting Gao Bin to also taste the pain of losing his daughter.

This medicine is three-quarters poison, plus the cinnabar poison that Jia Guiren and Su Lian gave her, Concubine Hui's body couldn't bear it. Fortunately, there was Bai Ruiji's fake pregnancy pill, which expelled all the toxins from Concubine Hui's body on the day it lost its effect.

Let her recover to her best physical condition, but the cold symptoms she had before are still there, just not as severe.

However, only Bai Ruiji knows this truth.

In Concubine Hui's eyes, she just lost a child.

It hurts more to have something after losing it than never to have it at all.

Bai Ruiji believed that for the rest of her life, Concubine Hui would think about the child she had lost, just like the original owner in the previous life, and she would never have an easy life.

Bai Ruiji fell asleep happily.

When Ruyi woke up in the Yanx Palace, she learned that Concubine Hui had lost her child, and she herself was ordered to be under house arrest.

I still felt a little happy in my heart, but when I thought about being implicated, I was not so happy. I also felt a little resentful towards Ah Ruo for saying those things. If she hadn't been so vicious, I wouldn't have been confined.

Ruyi felt uncomfortable when she thought about the three months she was under house arrest and how those despicable people would seduce Hongli.

She was only confined to her room, and was not even punished by being made to copy palace rules or Buddhist scriptures.

As for A'ruo, she had knelt for such a long time yesterday that her legs were no longer in good condition, but now she has to kneel for another three months.

When Ah Ruo was dragged away, she cried and begged Ruyi, "My Lord, my Lord, please save me. If I kneel down again, my legs will be broken!"

Ruyi, however, sat still in her chair, and just glanced at her calmly, "Aruo, go ahead. I will find a way."

A Ruo believed her words and was taken away without any worries.

But she was too relieved, because Ruyi had no other options. She just picked up the book beside her and read a sentence with resentment, "From the top of the wall, I looked at you from afar. As soon as I saw you, my heart was broken. Brother Hongli..."
