Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Chapter 34 Daru's Turnaround
Cheng Han, who was beside the Queen Mother, had always been very strict about such matters and would never miss it even if the other party was in the cold palace.
Hai Lan had already sent people to inquire at this time. The Empress Dowager hated Ulanara very much. Moreover, Ulanara had finally been thrown into the cold palace by the Emperor. Even if they did nothing, the Empress Dowager would never watch Ulanara come out.
"I really don't know if Ulanara still has a chance to come out. The emperor hasn't given up yet, and the empress dowager has another Yehenara who is also waiting to enter the palace to serve."
Hailan stood there and chuckled. There will definitely be more and more good shows to watch in the future.
Li Yu had already sent the paper money and funerary objects to the cold palace without anyone noticing, and he himself did not show up. After all, it was not good for people to know that this matter was arranged by His Majesty.
Rongyin had no idea about the whole process.
During the Ghost Festival, the emperor issued a special decree ordering the concubines from the harem who came to the Old Summer Palace to bring offerings from each palace to the ritual ship.
As usual, Rong Yin stood in the middle to preside over the event. Standing on her left and right were Gao Xiyue and Concubine Chun, and a little later were Jin Yuyan and Hai Lan. Everyone was dressed appropriately and waited for the process of delivering the sacrifice.
According to the positions in the harem, Rongyin should be the first to offer sacrifices.
Wei Yanwan helped Rongyin walk to the front of the Dharma ship. Immediately, a young eunuch placed the offerings on the Dharma ship. Rongyin stood in front of the ship and prayed for a while.
Next is Gao Xiyue.
Although she usually has a quick temper, Gao Xiyue has a good family background and has received a very orthodox education, so she will not make mistakes in such a critical situation.
The Queen Mother was the only one left in the palace.
Due to health reasons, she did not go to the Old Summer Palace with others, so the Empress Dowager presided over the ceremony alone in the harem.
In the palace, the Queen Mother sat in the main seat.
There were many lamas performing rituals at the scene.
The eunuch followed the rules and shouted to set off fireworks to burn the Dharma boat.
Although惢心 and Ruyi doubted the origin of the paper money, Ruyi finally decided to pay tribute to her father before secretly burning paper in the cold palace.
Concubine Ji soon noticed their actions and took a closer look, and found that they were indeed burning paper money.
"This is what the Empress Dowager hates the most. Even though you two are in the cold palace, how dare you have so many eyes staring at you at this time."
At this time, Concubine Ji also spoke up with good intentions to give a reminder.
Ruyi just turned her head and took a look, but did not intend to stop what she was doing, nor did she even speak. Instead, she turned around and put the paper money in her hand into the fire in front of her one by one.
It turned out that Eunuch Cheng Han had been keeping an eye on Ulanara in the cold palace. If Ruyi had destroyed the evidence at the scene when Concubine Ji reminded her, she would not have been caught.
But it just kept burning there slowly.
When the Queen Mother learned about this, she could no longer sit still.
The Ulanara family has always been a thorn in her heart. She originally thought that Ruyi had been sent to the cold palace by the emperor, so as long as she stayed there obediently, she wouldn't mind sparing Ruyi's life.
Now Ruyi actually dared to openly offend the taboo, and chose the day when she was performing a ritual. To her, what else could this be but a complete provocation?
When Ruyi and惢心 saw the Queen Mother coming, they could only kneel aside.
Ruyi still maintained her demeanor, kneeling in front of the empress dowager with her back straight and calm as a chrysanthemum.
When Eunuch Cheng Han characterized her behavior as a "curse," she did not get anxious and did not even open her mouth to defend herself.
"You dare to openly break the rules in the cold palace. Now the emperor and the empress are not in the harem. I am the only one in the entire harem. If I don't punish you, I'm afraid everyone in the harem will think that I am useless!"
Ruyi knelt there with a bewildered look on her face, looking unconvinced, and it was obvious that she did not take the Queen Mother's words to heart.
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but roll her eyes.
When she said this, Ruyi still didn't open her mouth to explain. She just knelt there straight, wondering what she was thinking.
"Chenghan." The Queen Mother did not bother with Ruyi.
"Hey--" Eunuch Cheng Han waved his hand, and many young eunuchs came over with spiked iron rods in their hands, obviously ready to attack Ruyi.
When she was about to be beaten, Ruyi finally tried to defend herself, "Queen Dowager, what I burned was not paper money."
Just this one excuse.
The Queen Mother asked Aunt Fujia, who was by her side, to take a look and found that what was being burned was not paper money, but round yellow paper with the six-character mantra on it.
At this time, Ruyi explained that she knew there would be a meeting today, so she specially prepared the six-word mantra for the Queen Mother's longevity.
Cheng Han had always wanted to help the empress dowager get rid of Ulanara, but at this moment he revealed that today was the seventh day after the death of Ulanara's father. The empress dowager realized almost instantly that she was being used as a gun.
But this is not the time to investigate who did this.
The Queen Mother stared thoughtfully at Ruyi who was kneeling in front of her. It was obvious that she was thinking about what to do next. In order to calm the matter down, she quickly punished Cheng Han.
Ji Taipin, who had been standing by, saw that the Queen Mother was about to leave, so she rushed out holding a dagger, "Bitch! I have been living in the cold palace for so many years, and finally I waited for you to come."
She insulted the Queen Mother and attempted assassination.
This incident happened so suddenly that most of the people present stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Fujia held Concubine Ji's hand without saying a word, buying time for the Queen Mother to retreat.
Ruyi immediately stood up and stood beside the Queen Mother. Suo Xin also rushed behind Concubine Ji and hugged her tightly, "What are you doing? Put down the knife quickly."
Concubine Ji had been training in the cold palace for many years, so she was not someone that could be captured by just惢心. She pushed惢心 aside with just an elbow.
惢心 came forward to stop her, but Ruyi used her body to block the Queen Mother from beginning to end.
At the critical moment, it was Ling Yunche and his guards who finally stopped Concubine Ji.
Pinned to the ground, Concubine Ji still did not stop insulting the Queen Mother, "If she hadn't saved you just now, you would have died under my knife! Bitch! If it weren't for you, I would never have lived in the cold palace for so many years! You will not die well!"
Ruyi stood aside and didn't understand the relationship between the two, but she subconsciously opened her mouth to plead for mercy at this time.
What they wanted was a way for Concubine Ji to survive.
The Queen Mother stood there thinking for a while. It was obvious that she was being used as a trap tonight. Someone behind the scenes wanted to use her to get rid of Ruyi.
But looking at Ruyi's expression, saving her was not a planned plan.
The Queen Mother actually blamed Rongyin for this matter. After all, Rongyin's behavior a few days ago was to compete with her for power, and the Emperor still had feelings for Ruyi...
The Queen Mother was unwilling to watch Rongyin's faction grow stronger in the harem, so she decided to take this opportunity to take Ruyi out and let Ruyi and Rongyin check and balance each other.
"Ruyi, you just wait patiently." After leaving these words, the empress dowager turned around and left without looking back. As for Concubine Ji...she died in the cold palace.
