Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Chapter 175 Cold Palace?
Although the solution has been given, the consequences still need to be settled, and the emperor must be informed privately.
The director of the Imperial Observatory had a solemn expression on his face. He hurried into the hall and knelt respectfully to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, we observed the celestial phenomena at night and combined them with many hexagrams to deduce that the Empress's weak health and the Yellow River's flooding were all caused by Concubine Shu's offspring."
The supervisor's voice echoed in the empty hall.
As the head of the Imperial Observatory, since the emperor had already asked, simply giving an answer as he did at that time would not be able to meet the emperor's needs, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
No matter where the calculation was made from or whether the answer is true or false, as long as it can be justified in front of the emperor, it is fine.
The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes revealing confusion and shock.
He put down the memorial in his hand and leaned forward slightly. "What do you mean? Is there any solid evidence?"
The Supervisor hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the astronomical phenomena show that the connection is very subtle. The Empress is the mother of the country, and her health is closely related to the fate of the country."
"After Concubine Shu gave birth to the prince, many strange phenomena began to appear one after another. The Yellow River burst its banks, which was a natural disaster. However, this sign of natural disaster seemed to echo the events in the harem. I dare not speak rashly, but the hexagram is like this, so I have to report it to the emperor."
This is how Shui Lingling came close.
The emperor remained silent, tapping his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
His gaze lingered on the Supervisor for a moment, and he thought to himself, he knew that the Queen had been in poor health.
The Yellow River bursting its banks was a natural disaster, how could it be related to Shupin's offspring? However, the Imperial Observatory was always cautious, and if it was not certain, it would not dare to report it.
The emperor sat in the imperial study, his chin in his hand, staring ahead with empty eyes.
His heart was full of contradictions and doubts.
"The Queen is in poor health. I have always thought it was because she worked too hard and was weak before. But now the Imperial Observatory says it is related to Shupin's offspring. This is really hard to believe."
He stood up and paced slowly, with events of the past constantly resurfacing in his mind.
Thinking of what happened to Prince Shupin, the emperor felt even more remorseful.
At the beginning, for various reasons, he asked the imperial physician to tamper with Shupin's pregnancy medicine.
Although it was done for the sake of the overall situation, it now seems that this incident has triggered a series of unpredictable consequences.
"If I hadn't acted that way back then, perhaps there wouldn't be all this trouble now. Is this really a punishment from God?"
The emperor became increasingly uneasy.
He stopped, looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed deeply, "You should leave first, and remember not to spread this matter."
The other party bowed and left without saying a word. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to spread the news.
At this time, Li Yu walked in quietly and advised carefully, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. What the Imperial Observatory said may not be entirely true."
Now Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are tied to the same thread. The most important thing is that Concubine Shu's son is still being raised in the Yikun Palace. How could he be pulled down like this?
Moreover, Li Yu didn't know whether the Queen Mother had placed people in the Imperial Observatory.
So at this time I just said a few words of advice.
The emperor glanced at Li Yu and shook his head slightly, "I know this too. But this matter is of great importance and must be considered carefully."
After Shupin returned to the palace, although she was reprimanded by the Emperor because of the Queen's affairs, she did not feel anything wrong.
She was just expressing a reasonable guess, and she believed that the emperor would understand her intentions, so she waited for him to come to her.
The emperor's thoughts drifted again, and he remembered that when Yihuan came to dance for him, all the concubines were talking about the curse of the Yehenara family.
The Yehe Nara clan and the Aisin-Gioro clan had a feud and once cursed that if a woman from the Yehe Nara clan became the empress, the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed.
Shupin was also from the Yehenara clan. Now that her prince had caused so many troubles, the emperor had to be even more wary of this curse.
"Is this curse really going to come true? No, I must not let the Qing Dynasty fall into crisis." The emperor thought to himself.
His eyes became more determined and he had made up his mind.
The emperor decided to summon Yihuan and question her in person.
Yihuan came to the imperial study very calmly and knelt down to pay her respects. She was confused as to why the emperor had summoned her. Could it be that the emperor had approved of the queen's bid for favor?
The emperor glared at Yi Huan and asked sternly, "Shupin, do you admit your guilt?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know what crime I have committed."
The emperor said angrily, "How dare you slander the queen for competing for favors, and you still don't know your crime? The Imperial Observatory reported that the queen's weak health and the Yellow River bursting their banks were all caused by your offspring. Do you have anything to say?"
Yihuan was horrified. She thought that what happened that day was over. How come the Imperial Observatory was now implicating her? She kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! How could my prince cause such a disaster? The Imperial Observatory must have made a mistake."
The emperor sneered, "Mistaken? Then tell me, why did you frame the queen?"
Yi Huan cried, "Your Majesty, I love you deeply, how could I frame the Queen? I am just expressing my guess, but I have no intention of framing you! This matter has nothing to do with our prince."
The emperor looked at Yihuan with mixed feelings.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Since you don't repent, I can't keep you here. You will be banished to the cold palace."
Yihuan only realized at this time that if she was sent to the cold palace, anyone could come and hurt her, and she would never see the emperor again. This was more painful than her death.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me and the prince! I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and never make mistakes again."
The emperor remained unmoved. He waved his hand and signaled the eunuch to take Shupin away.
After Shupin was taken away, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a heavy heart. He knew that his decision might cause some controversy, but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he had to do so.
The news of Shupin's punishment spread quickly throughout the harem, and everyone was shocked. When Rongyin learned about this, she was slightly moved.
The emperor wanted to use her illness as an excuse to deal with Yihuan.
She stood up, walked slowly to the window and looked out. At this time, Wei Yanwan walked in.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The emperor has his reasons for doing this," Wei Yanwan comforted.
The most important thing is, she felt that if Yihuan was gone, she was gone, and she wouldn't have to become Hailan like in her previous life, following Ruyi and harming others.
Rong Yin frowned slightly, "I know the emperor has considerations, but..."
"Your Highness, you can go over and give her some advice to get Shupin out of the cold palace. Even if you have to lock her up in her own palace, we will have done our utmost."
Wei Yanwan had watched her queen faint many times these days. She also knew that Yihuan was obsessed with the emperor and was willing to be used by Ruyi, and she was very resistant to her queen.
Just get the person out of the cold palace.
Anyway, whether in the cold palace or under house arrest, Ruyi's shadow is always there.
Rong Yin nodded and dressed up carefully before going to see the emperor.
When the emperor saw Rongyin, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Queen, why are you here? You are not in good health and should rest more." The emperor said with concern.
Rong Yin bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, I heard about Shupin's matter and felt very uneasy. I think there may be other hidden reasons, please consider it carefully."
The emperor looked at Rong Yin and sighed, "Queen, I understand your thoughts. But this matter is of great importance, and I have no choice but to do this. The report from the Imperial Observatory, plus what Shupin did, forced me to be on guard."
Rong Yin frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, I think the celestial phenomena may not be credible. The Yellow River bursting its banks was a natural disaster, how can it be blamed on Shupin's offspring? As for Shupin's slander of me, I believe Your Majesty will make a fair judgment. But I beg Your Majesty not to deal with Shupin and the prince lightly, so as not to cause unrest in the harem."
The emperor shook his head. "Empress, I know you are kind and generous. But I cannot risk the country of Qing. The curse of Yehenara has always made me wary. Now Shupin's son has caused so many troubles. I have to be on guard."
Rongyin wanted to say something else, but the emperor waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
"Queen, you should take good care of yourself and stop worrying about the affairs of the harem. I will handle everything properly." The emperor said gently, but his attitude revealed everything.
Rongyin had no choice but to go back and recuperate.
At the same time, the concubines in the harem were also discussing Shupin's experience.
Concubine Chun felt pity for Concubine Shu, while Gao Xiyue believed that the emperor was right and should not allow someone who might threaten the Qing Dynasty to stay in the harem.
"This Concubine Shu has it all her own way. She dared to slander the Empress and caused so much trouble." Gao Xiyue has been helping to manage the harem with Concubine Chun these days. Now, while waiting for them to finish paying their respects, she specially kept Hai Lan, Chen Wanyin, and Concubine Chun to chat together.
"What the Imperial Concubine said is right. The Emperor is also thinking about the Qing Dynasty. The curse of the Yehenara family is no joke." Hai Lan echoed.
Chen Wanyin sighed, "Shupin was favored a few days ago. The situation in the harem is really unpredictable. No one knows who will be the next unlucky one."
"Let's all be fine, don't cause any trouble, and don't disturb the Queen's peace."
Since Rong Yin failed to persuade the emperor, she didn't say anything else. She spent most of her time in a daze. Even if she wanted to give advice on some things, she was powerless at this moment.
She was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyes full of fatigue. Wei Yanwan was taking care of her, her heart full of worry.
"My lady, please don't worry too much. Your health is important."
Rong Yin shook her head slightly, "I feel uneasy."
"Your Highness, please stop wasting time. It's their own choice whichever path they take. You've done your best."
Wei Yanwan was extremely anxious. She hadn't had a good night's sleep since the Queen fell ill.
At this moment, there was a sound of birds singing outside the window. Rongyin looked out the window, feeling helpless.
She knew that in the harem, fate was often not something she could control, especially with a body like this.
"Yan Wan... I am in such a bad condition now, I don't know how long I can hold out. You should also consider your future. Leaving the palace is the best outcome. If you are willing, I will arrange everything for you at Fu Heng's place. If you are not willing, I will also give you enough money and shops. These are the foundation for your future."
The last time she was bedridden, there was a lot of chaos and she had no energy to deal with it. Now she had the same experience again, and she had to explain everything while she was still able to move.
At least she couldn't let Yan Wan be like Ying Luo, who insisted on staying in the palace to help her protect the concubines and Yonglian.
At least, her Yanwan had to go out.
"My lady, I won't leave! I don't believe anyone else can take good care of you."
Wei Yanwan's attitude was very clear.
Sir Fu Heng is indeed a good match. According to my usual status, I would never be worthy of him. Moreover, the two of them have had frequent private contacts over the past few days and have already developed a good impression of each other.
But if she had to choose between the two, she would definitely choose the Queen.
How could she possibly watch the Queen fighting with those people alone in the harem?
In her previous life, she had at least made it to the position of Imperial Noble Consort. Moreover, even if something really happened to the Empress, she was willing to go through the same path she had taken in her previous life again and help the Empress take care of Yonglian.
"Listen to my arrangements. I have lived through two lives, but have never been blessed by the heavens. Now I just hope someone can go see the prosperous scenery outside for me. Yanwan, are you willing to be my eyes?"
This sentence made Wei Yanwan completely confused.
She held the Queen's hand and cried inconsolably.
