Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Xiu Guiren usually relied on her family background in the general's mansion to be arrogant. Now that she had a dragon fetus, her temper became even more arrogant.

Today, using the excuse of a foot injury, he even refused to give face to Imperial Concubine Ruyi.

For the sake of the dragon fetus, Ruyi was unwilling to have too much involvement with Concubine Xiu, for fear that she would use the child in her belly to plot against her.

Ruyi's face was full of indifference and carelessness. She didn't even give Concubine Xiu a glance. She ignored her and walked to the bedside of Concubine Liu.

When the gauze curtain was lifted, Liu Changzai's face was seen to be pale with beads of sweat all over his face. He looked extremely painful but was still unconscious.

Ruyi said sternly, "Which imperial physician diagnosed Concubine Liu and said that the dragon fetus was in danger?"

The imperial physician beside him knelt down immediately and said, "Your Highness, Liu Chang has been well throughout this pregnancy. Every time I checked your pulse, there was nothing unusual.

But today, Miss Liu might have been greedy during her pregnancy and ate a lot of walnut cakes and rose tea.

These two things are harmless, but when taken together, they can cause abdominal distension and nausea. This is why Lady Liu vomited and fainted.

It was my incompetence that failed to save Lady Liu's embryo. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ruyi turned around and sat on the couch, and ordered someone to bring the walnut cake and scented tea that Liu Changzai had taken today, and asked Doctor Qi to check them carefully again.

While Doctor Qi was examining the patient, Ruyi swept her sharp gaze over everyone present, finally stopping on Concubine Mei.

"Did you give this to Concubine Liu to eat?" Ruyi's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion.

A shudder arose from the bottom of Concubine Mei's heart. She suppressed the inexplicable fear in her heart and replied, "There is rose in my flower tea, but the content is not high.

Moreover, the concubines often ate these tea cakes during pregnancy. She never had symptoms like Liu Changzai, right?

Your Majesty, please understand. I really don't know why I can eat what Liu Changzai can't eat?"

Concubine Mei's face was filled with confusion, and the more she spoke, the more ridiculous it seemed to her.

"Noble Lady Mei is so forgetful. The imperial physician just said that it's because Concubine Liu is greedy and eats too much." Noble Lady Xiu seized every opportunity to speak sarcastically.

"My Lady, I think that Lady Mei must have deliberately murdered my child with Lady Liu.

Concubine Mei is already certain that the baby in her belly is a prince, and she is doing this to prevent us from blocking the way for her baby.

As for Lady Mei, she feels guilty and naturally won’t eat more.”

Concubine Xiu pointed at Concubine Mei indignantly, and as she spoke, her eyes gradually filled with tears.

She covered her chest with her hands as if in fear and said sadly, "Fortunately, I don't like walnut cakes.

If not, the dragon fetus in my belly today may not be safe!"

Concubine Mei was furious. "How dare you slander me? Even the imperial physician said that Concubine Liu was stable in this pregnancy. How could she have a miscarriage because of vomiting?"

The one who had the most contact with Liu Changzai today was obviously you, Xiu Guiren.

I think it was you who caused Liu Changzai's unstable fetus, and then you deliberately came to me with the intention of putting the blame on me!"

The two of them couldn't explain what was going on and kept arguing.

Ruyi put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. With a crisp sound, Concubine Mei and Concubine Xiu stopped talking temporarily and became quiet.

"Besides food, have you eaten or touched anything unusual in recent days?"

Ruyi vaguely thought of the abnormal sachet.

Just because her sachet was fine doesn't mean the sachets of these pregnant concubines were also fine.

Ruyi touched the gilded armor on her hand, lowered her eyebrows, and said casually, "Weren't the scent bags made by Concubine Xiu popular in the palace a few days ago?

Bring me the sachets in your hands."

The sachets of Concubine Mei and Concubine Liu were quickly found.

However, Concubine Mei stopped wearing it after she became pregnant, but Concubine Liu wore it every day, without missing a single day.

As for Concubine Xiu, she only said that she had stopped making sachets a long time ago, and the remaining ones were dismantled for other uses.

Just when Ruyi was about to call Doctor Qi over to check the sachet, she saw Doctor Qi holding a cup of scented tea with only the bottom of the tea left, frowning and whispering in a low voice.

"My Lady, there is something unusual in this cup of tea. It seems someone has added a large amount of Five Elements Herb to it.

This substance can cause maternal weakness and fetal instability. In severe cases, it can cause dizziness, fainting, and red discharge, leading to miscarriage.

This five elements grass is ground into fine powder and has a very light taste, so it can be easily covered up by the taste of scented tea.

And it was precisely because Liu Changzai was unaware of it that she ate a large amount of it and subsequently had a miscarriage.

If there hadn't been a little bit of powder left in the petals at the bottom of the bowl, I would never have been able to detect it."

"Five Elements Grass? What a sinister trick." Ruyi was furious. "Who has touched this cup of flower tea from Concubine Liu today?"

Su Yun knelt down hurriedly and replied tremblingly, "The raw materials for the scented tea were sent from the imperial kitchen. I brewed it, and then Concubine Xiu passed it to Concubine Liu..."

With just one look from Ruyi,惢心 and Rong Pei immediately understood.

Some palace maids followed Su Xin to search Su Yun's residence, while the other part followed Rong Pei to the imperial kitchen.

Concubine Xiu stretched out her hands calmly, "I only lent a hand out of kindness. But I don't have the ability to put drugs in the tea. Does the Imperial Concubine want to search me personally?"

Looking at Concubine Xiu's appearance, Ruyi knew that nothing could be found out from her.

But Concubine Mei didn't believe it. She grabbed Concubine Xiu's hand and checked it again and again, trying to find the remaining powder of the Five Elements Grass.

But after searching for a long time, I still came back empty-handed.

While everyone was anxiously waiting, Doctor Qi was not idle either, and continued to examine the sachet.

But from his expression, Ruyi knew that he, like Jiang Yubi, didn't see anything.

This is strange. Could it be that Concubine Xiu really has good intentions? Was she just worrying too much about these sachets?

Suoxin came back soon. Suyun's room was clean and there was no Five Elements Grass or anything like that.

Just when Ruyi was puzzled, the emperor came with Shu Guiren.

Putting aside her doubts, Ruyi respectfully greeted the emperor with a bow.

When she stood up and saw the emperor and Shu Guiren holding hands tightly, Ruyi did not forget to pretend to be sour and said sarcastically, "The emperor and Shu Guiren are really in love.

Sanbao, go get a bigger chair so His Majesty and Concubine Shu don't have to sit too crowded."

The emperor seemed to have just realized his mistake. He quickly let go of Shu Guiren's hand and coughed uncomfortably.

"Ruyi, I came in a hurry. How is Concubine Liu doing with this pregnancy? Have you found any clues?"

In fact, the emperor didn't care much about Concubine Liu's pregnancy.

He was still in his prime, had many children, and did not like Liu Changzai very much.

However, the royal heir is harmed after all.

If he just indulged himself in boating on the lake with his concubines and ignored his own royal heir, he would inevitably be impeached by the censor.

Seeing the emperor let go of her hand so readily, Concubine Shu felt a little disappointed, but her face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
