It was also eight months of pregnancy, and also one night.

Hongli, the Empress, Concubine Hui and Ruyi waited together in a side hall of Qixiang Palace, waiting for Concubine Jia to give birth to a baby boy safely.

But the precious son did not come into being. Instead, a freak baby with three arms, one eye and no nose came into being. Because he had no nose, he had difficulty breathing, and he died of asphyxiation not long after he was born.

Hongli was so frightened after just one look. Concubine Hui was timid to begin with, and fainted after just one look. She was supported by Mo Xin and returned to Xianfu Palace.

It was the Queen who stepped forward and, together with Ruyi, helped Hongli sit down on the couch beside them. Then she told Wang Qin, "Go, pick a good feng shui site outside the palace and bury the child properly."

Wang Qin staggered back holding the child in his arms.

The Queen continued to instruct, "Lianxin, pass the order down. No one is allowed to reveal any information about this child. Today, Concubine Jia had a difficult delivery and gave birth to a dead baby. Let the imperial physician, the midwife, and the palace maids who served Concubine Jia remember this clearly!"

Seeing that Hongli looked unhappy, the queen said, "Your Majesty, you are tired today. Why don't you go to my Changchun Palace and rest for a while?"

Hongli was so frightened that his brain was paralyzed. He just followed whatever the empress said and left.

The Queen turned around and told Ruyi, "Empress Xian, I'll leave it to you to appease Concubine Jia."

Ruyi looked at her young man, but there was nothing in his eyes. Helplessly, Ruyi nodded and said that she would take good care of Concubine Jia.

After waking up, Concubine Jia looked at Zhenshu beside her and smiled with relief, "Zhenshu, I finally gave birth to a baby boy. Hurry and bring him to me to see."

Zhenshu's eyes were red and she didn't dare to look at Concubine Jia.

It was Ruyi who approached Concubine Jia and comforted her, "Concubine Jia, you will still have a child."

Concubine Jia was confused. "What do you mean, there will be children? What do you mean? How dare you curse my child?"

Ruyi felt sorry for her, so she didn't care about her words and explained, "You gave birth to a stillborn baby. The Queen has already ordered that the child be buried."

"Impossible, impossible, I clearly heard the child crying, I clearly heard it." She held Zhenshu's hand, "Zhenshu, someone is trying to harm my little brother, isn't it?"

Ruyi didn't want to stay here any longer, so after comforting her with a few words, she said goodbye and left.

As soon as she left, Zhenshu told Concubine Jia about the little prince's situation.

"Impossible! I couldn't have given birth to a monster. Someone must have harmed me! Zhenshu, go check! You must find out who harmed me!"

"Yes, I will definitely find this person! My master, you must take good care of yourself. When you are well, you can give birth to as many princes as you want!"

Zhenshu had a good idea, but after Concubine Jia finished her confinement, the imperial doctors diagnosed her as having completely lost her fertility. Not only that, she also suffered from the disease of lihong, and she had her period for more than 20 days a month. From now on, not to mention giving birth to a child, even whether she could sleep with the emperor was a problem.

Concubine Jia completely collapsed.

How can she contribute to her motherland and the crown prince if she can't give birth to a child?

Although Zhenshu felt sorry for Concubine Jia, she was still Yu's member and had to make plans for her.

After knowing that Concubine Jia was infertile, she hesitated for only a moment and then quickly sent a letter to the Yu family, asking them to send another noble lady.

Two children had been lost in the palace in succession, and with the secret letter sent to her by Bai Ruiji, the empress dowager finally had a reason to stir up trouble. She summoned the empress to the Cining Palace.

"Empress, if there is a problem with the emperor's heir, it means that you, as the queen, are incompetent. If the emperor has no children, how will the former court and the harem miss you?"

The Queen knelt down hurriedly, "Madam, the matter of the royal heir has nothing to do with me. Concubine Hui lost her child because of her anger towards Concubine Xian and her maid A Ruo. Concubine Jia was unlucky, so she gave birth to a freak. Madam, don't worry, the Emperor is in his prime and will have children again."

The Queen Mother took a sip of her water pipe and said, "Who said that Concubine Jia was unlucky? How come I found out that she was poisoned by cinnabar?"

When the Queen Mother said this, the Empress was so surprised that she almost stumbled. "Is what the Empress Dowager said true? But why didn't the imperial doctors find out?"

"Would I lie to you about this matter? The cinnabar poison cannot be detected by ordinary silver needles, and it is not even reflected in the pulse. If Concubine Jia had not eaten Yu's side dishes during her confinement period, which triggered the Lihong syndrome, I would not have known that Qi Ru found cinnabar in those side dishes."

"Madam, since it has been confirmed that someone has murdered the heir to the throne, I will investigate the murderer and will not allow such a vicious person to cause chaos in the harem."

"Okay! Since the Queen has said so, I will wait for your news."

Bai Ruiji simply used the Queen Mother's words to get the Queen to start investigating the matter of cinnabar.

After all, we can't let Ruyi miss the trip to the cold palace.

So, the Changchun Palace trial was staged again.

If you were to say who A Ruo hated the most, it was not Concubine Hui who punished her, but Ruyi.

I clearly promised to find a solution for her, but after three months of thinking, I didn't take any action. As a result, she became disabled, which completely cut off her path to getting into bed.

So this time, after A Ruo reported Ruyi, she ran into a head-on collision and died.

In addition to A Ruo, there was also a young eunuch who committed suicide on the spot after telling Ruyi's crimes. According to the theory of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, if someone has one life as evidence, he can be convicted, let alone two.

Therefore, this time Ruyi was not demoted to a noble lady and confined to the Yanxi Palace. Instead, under the pressure of the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Jia, Ruyi was deposed as a commoner on the spot and sent to the cold palace.

Concubine Jia is not the original owner.

After she learned that she had been murdered and could never get pregnant again, she hated Ruyi to death.

Ruyi wants to take惢心 to the cold palace?

Concubine Jia reported the case directly to the Queen, saying that the criminal did not deserve to be served, so惢心 was directly returned to the Household Department, and Ruyi had to spend her days alone in the cold palace.

Ruyi totally ignored Li Yu's advice and did not take any silver with her. She only carried the bracelet given to her by the Queen in her residence, several pairs of armor, and two bags of snacks.

However, she was too kind-hearted and gave the only two packets of snacks to the women in the cold palace the night she entered the palace, without keeping any for herself.

With the presence of Concubine Hui and Concubine Jia, Ruyi's food looks okay, but in fact it contains foods that counteract the cold and yin of the body. In time, Ruyi's life may be taken away by them.

Now that the heroine has entered, the harem is stable and Bai Ruiji is almost ready to get pregnant.
