Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"My good intentions were misinterpreted by Concubine Jia as a joke to the noble lady who was watching the show.

Your Majesty knows my temper. I was so angry that I argued with Concubine Jia.

Gao Xiyue said this while gently shaking the emperor's arm. She then changed the subject and said sharply, "Empress Jia is in the wrong and cannot argue with me. She turned around and left in anger.

I thought the matter was over. But I never thought that when she was leaving, Concubine Jia would become so bold that she knocked Concubine Mei down with her shoulder. "

As she spoke, Gao Xiyue began to wipe away her tears, her tone filled with heartache and sadness, she said quietly,

"Poor Lady Mei, she had no idea that Concubine Jia would be so bold.

In a moment of panic, the five-month-old belly hit the ground. Blood immediately flowed out, which was very scary.

I don’t know if the little brother inside can be saved…”

The emperor pushed Gao Xiyue's hand away, lifted his robe, and sat upright at the top.

He stroked the green jade dragon-patterned ring in his hand, with a stern face and expressionless look at Jin Yuyan.

Jin Yuyan's scalp tingled under the emperor's gaze, and she angrily shouted at Gao Xiyue, "Empress Hui, what nonsense are you talking about?

Your Majesty, please be wise. I have never bumped into Concubine Mei. I am wronged.

It was obvious that Concubine Mei couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground, but she still insisted on blaming me.

If anyone is to blame, it's Concubine Mei herself who is unlucky. She was pregnant but she didn't stay in the palace to take care of the baby, but had to come out to seek death."

The emperor's eyes became darker, and Ruyi cleared her throat and said, "Empress Jia, what you said is too harsh.

If a pregnant woman goes out and walks around more, it is also good for the fetus. How can it be called courting death?

You are also the one who gave birth to the Sixth Prince. Don't you understand this truth?

Besides, Concubine Mei is pregnant. For the sake of the heir, you should give her some leeway. How could you bump into her?"

"Is the Imperial Concubine favoring Concubine Mei?" Jin Yuyan was not afraid of Ruyi's questioning at all. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a frivolous tone.

"Noble Lady Mei has been pregnant for five months, and the fetus is at its most stable. It is not impossible that she pretended to fall and deliberately slandered me."

While Jin Yuyan was still making her excuses, Doctor Jiang had already walked out.

He lowered his head, knelt down with a sad face and said, "Your Majesty, I and Doctor Qi have done our best.

Unfortunately, Concubine Mei was weak, and when she fell, her abdomen accidentally hit the ground, causing her to miscarry. It was... it was a fully formed male fetus...

Concubine Mei is in critical condition, and Doctor Qi is still trying his best to treat her, but the situation doesn’t look good…”

"What?" The emperor's eyes widened and he stood up and said in disbelief.

Perhaps because the movement was too violent, the emperor's body could not keep steady for a moment and shook slightly.

Ruyi quickly supported the emperor's shaking body and comforted him, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Concubine Mei is still young and will have children in the future."

Seeing that the emperor was immersed in grief, Ruyi lowered her head silently and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Shouldn't the fetus be stable after five months? How could Concubine Mei miscarry so soon?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Ruyi looked up and shouted at Jin Yuyan, "Empress Jia, Concubine Mei's child was killed in the fall. Do you still dare to say that Concubine Mei faked the fall and slandered you?"

Jin Yuyan was choked up for a moment, unable to speak for a long while, and could only repeat woodenly, "I really did not bump into Lady Mei."

Suddenly, Jin Yuyan turned her gaze to Xiu Guiren. As if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she stared at her with burning eyes and said.

"Lady Xiu was right beside me at the time, and she can testify for me. I really didn't hit Lady Mei. It was clearly Lady Mei who fell down on her own."

"Yes, I did not see Concubine Jia bump into Concubine Mei."

Concubine Xiu explained with a stiff face, "Concubine Mei might have wanted to make way for Concubine Jia, and she was unable to avoid her in time, so she accidentally fell."

Gao Xiyue sneered, walked up to Concubine Xiu and said contemptuously, "Concubine Xiu, please don't lie with your eyes open.

I saw clearly that it was Concubine Jia who knocked over Concubine Mei..."

"Okay, stop arguing." The emperor rubbed his forehead, his face full of annoyance.

Ruyi secretly glanced at Gao Xiyue, and when she saw her nod slightly, she pretended to be concerned and said, "Doctor Jiang, I have a question for you.

Concubine Mei had always been in good health. She had been taking various supplements during her pregnancy. But why did you say she was weak?

Was this weak constitution the main reason for her fall and miscarriage? "

"This..." Doctor Jiang looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.

"Speak!" The emperor couldn't stand this kind of evasiveness at this moment, so he shouted sternly.

Doctor Jiang immediately knelt down, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, the reason why Concubine Mei is weak is because she was poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Gao Xiyue stared in astonishment. "Doctor Jiang, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Do you have any evidence?"

Doctor Jiang raised his eyes to look at Jin Yuyan, then looked at the emperor, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak.

"Jiang Yubin, just say what you want to say, don't worry about others." The emperor said coldly.

"Yes." After the emperor said this, Doctor Jiang slowly spoke.

"Just now, when I observed the dragon fetus that fell from the body of the noble lady Mei, I found that it was blue and purple all over, and it seemed to be deficient.

Before I entered the palace, I had seen it in a torn medical book of the Yu family.

The Yu family has a rare golden-winged white orchid. If a woman touches it or smells it for a long time, it can lighten spots and beautify the skin, and it can also help a woman get pregnant.

However, the fetus conceived in this way will absorb the mother's essence, so that both mother and child will become weaker and weaker.

If you are not careful, you may have a miscarriage and the baby may not live to full term. If the fetus is older, both mother and baby may suffer.

The book records that under this method, the fetus that slips away is different from ordinary fetuses, and usually has large purple spots on its body.

If this golden-winged white jasmine is ground into powder, it can be easily dissolved in ordinary herbs and is very difficult to detect.

However, this herb has absorbed pollen, and although there is no abnormality on the outside, its weight is much greater than normal herbs.

I once saw Doctor Qi studying Lady Mei's sachet in the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Qi had questioned the weight of the herbs at that time.

Now that I think about it, this is probably the reason.”

"Doctor Jiang, are the sachets you are talking about the two that I took from Concubine Mei and Concubine Liu last time?"

Ruyi frowned, and when she saw Doctor Jiang nod, she said as if she was frightened, "So, Concubine Mei's miscarriage this time and Concubine Liu's miscarriage last time were all because of this sachet?

Lady Xiu, I thought you gave us the sachet out of kindness, but I didn't expect you to have such a sinister method?"
