Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

2

In fact, when Ruyi was young, she had already seen Princess Duanshu, who was deeply favored by the late emperor. At that time, Princess Duanshu was in her prime, with an elegant temperament, and she exuded a noble aura in her every move.

Although the relationship between Ruyi's aunt and the Empress Dowager, who was then Concubine Xi, was not harmonious, Princess Duanshu showed special friendliness and kindness to Ruyi, who was a few years older than her.

Ruyi had remembered this kindness for many years, so she still had some partiality for Princess Duanshu.

Now, the emperor is feeling depressed because of his guilt towards Hengzhuo. Ruyi knows very well in her heart that if Hengzhuo can stand on her side, she will be more confident in doing things in the future.

Seeing her mother angry because she had married far away and suffered so much, Hengchu was filled with worry and anxiety. She hurried forward, gently stroked Zhen Huan's chest, with a worried look on her face, and said softly:

"Mother, please don't get angry and make yourself sick. I know you care about me. I've suffered a lot outside these years, but now that things have come to this, we have to look forward."

Hengchui raised her lips slightly and slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting with Ruyi who had just stood up. Zhen Huan also casually threw the red thread in her hand aside, staring at Ruyi with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Ruyi was not afraid either, and slowly said:

"Mother, marriage is a matter that will definitely bring many benefits if you can marry the right person. But there is one thing I hope you will not take to heart. Although you are the emperor's adoptive mother, you are still related to him by blood. The emperor now values ​​important officials in the court just to consolidate his power. At this critical moment, in order to gain the support of Khorchin, the emperor will certainly not send the son born to you and the late emperor to marry. So I hope mother and sister Hengzhuo don't have to worry about this. If mother and sister Hengzhuo can work together with me, then mother's wish will surely be fulfilled. After all, Jingsi is my biological daughter. How can I bear to let her marry far away and suffer from homesickness?"

Upon hearing this, Hengchui tightly grasped Zhen Huan's hand, her face full of horror, and she involuntarily put her head close to her mother's chest, saying in a trembling and helpless voice,

"Mother, if it weren't for my sister-in-law who disregarded the Emperor's order and took the risk to secretly send the abortion pills to the Empress, I'm afraid that now Hengchu would have to endure the humiliation of sleeping in the same bed with that traitor and becoming a couple! Hengchu is naturally grateful to my sister-in-law for saving her life and helping her in her time of need!"

As Zhen Huan listened, she looked back and forth between Hengzhuo and Ruyi. Finally, she shook her head helplessly, showing a look of headache, and waved her hand to signal:

"Forget it, the Queen has indeed spent a lot of effort to ensure that I can successfully bring my daughter back. In the court, I will give orders to the ministers to speak for Jingsi. Hengchu, just accompany your sister-in-law for a walk outside. It has been a while since you returned to the palace, but you haven't had a chance to go out for a walk. With your sister-in-law accompanying you today, mother will be relieved."

Ruyi stared at Hengzhu quietly. Her panicked look flashed for a moment, and was replaced by endless calmness and pride in an instant. This was the dignified and virtuous princess in her memory!

-

Ruyi and Hengzhuo were talking and laughing in the room, but after leaving Xining Palace, they were speechless. Ruyi reached out her hand first and held Hengzhuo's hand tightly. When their palms rubbed against each other, Ruyi was surprised to find that Hengzhuo's palms were unusually rough, as if she had been engaged in heavy labor for many years.

"Hengchu, actually I still remember when you were a child, I always followed you and played with you. However, time flies, and now everything is different." Ruyi said with great emotion.

Hengzhuo smiled slightly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She stopped trying to break free from Ruyi after hearing these words, but her body still couldn't help shaking. Ruyi didn't miss the sadness flashing in Hengzhuo's eyes, and she couldn't help feeling sad. She knew that Hengzhuo was once the most favored princess in the palace, with an extremely noble status. However, since she got married, she has experienced too much suffering and humiliation.

First, she was forced to marry the enemy who killed her husband, which was undoubtedly a great blow to a woman. I don't know what Hengzhuo had experienced, but she actually aborted the baby in her belly with her own hands. This kind of pain can only be truly understood by Hengzhuo herself.

Looking at Hengchu's haggard appearance now, Ruyi sighed secretly in her heart. Hengchu's days in Junggar over the years were probably not as good as the emperor said.

Hengchui took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Ruyi, now that mother is gone, there is no need for you and me to get along with each other in a hypocritical manner. I know you are eager to protect your daughter, and I can understand. With me by mother's side, mother will definitely stand by you."

Her voice was firm, as if she wanted to reassure Ruyi, but then, Hengzhuo raised her eyebrows and spoke without emotion,

"You just need to help me with something." Hengzhuo's tone was very calm, but Ruyi could hear something strange in it. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "What?"

Hengchu gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming with hatred. She stared at Ruyi, as if she could see through her. Then, she said word by word: "I want to see Dawachi, I want to see him die with my own eyes!"

Ruyi was shocked. She had never seen Hengchu so excited and determined. Hengchu was usually indifferent to everything, and nothing seemed to arouse her interest or emotions. However, at this moment, her eyes were full of anger and pain, which made people wonder what she had been through.

Ruyi knew very well the suffering and torture that Hengzhu had endured over the years. Since Hengzhu returned to the palace, Dawachi had been imprisoned in prison, and no news had been heard since then.

Ruyi knew in her heart that the emperor did this in order to use Dawachi to ease the tense brother-sister relationship between him and Hengchu.

However, Hengzhu had never taken the initiative to look for the emperor since returning to the palace. And the emperor could not find a suitable reason to please this imperial sister every day. Therefore, Dawachi was lucky enough to live a little longer.

"Hengchu, since you have taken the initiative to bring up this matter today, I will tell you the whole story. Since Dawaqi was escorted to the capital, the emperor has been detaining him in the capital, and he has said that he will wait for you to make the final decision. I know very well that the emperor's treatment of you in the past could hardly be called fair, but things are different now. He is the ruler of the world, and you are the princess of the previous emperor. With your current identity and status, why don't you take this opportunity to use the emperor's guilt towards you to gain more benefits for yourself?"
