Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"Your Highness, please understand. I... I don't know what flowers are. Someone must be trying to frame me."

Guiren Xiu was extremely panicked. Didn’t Concubine Jia tell her that this pollen was secret and rare, and no one in the palace knew it?

Even Imperial Doctor Qi couldn’t recognize it before, but unexpectedly, Imperial Doctor Jiang saw through it?

"You are just a noble lady, who would frame you? Is it the embroidery room or the Imperial Hospital? Oh, this flower came from the Yu family, could it be Concubine Jia?"

Gao Xiyue did not forget to add fuel to the fire and kept glancing at Jin Yuyan.

Jin Yuyan felt uneasy when being stared at, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

She pretended to be calm, with a hint of grievance in her tone, and said softly, holding her chest,

"Your Majesty, although this flower comes from the Yu family, I have never seen it before. How can you say that it was my order?"

"Whether it is true or not, just check and you will know." Gao Xiyue would not allow Jin Yuyan to get away with it so easily.

"Your Majesty, I think this thing is secret and rare. It is better to arrest the personal maids of Concubine Jia and Concubine Xiu and bring them to the Ministry of Punishment for severe torture. Only under severe punishment can we know who is the author of this."

The emperor was obviously moved by Gao Xiyue's proposal.

Xiu Guiren's nails had already dug into Hongdou's arm. Hongdou grimaced in pain, her expression becoming somewhat ferocious.

After thinking for a moment, Concubine Xiu let go of Hongdou's arm and suddenly knelt down regardless of the fact that she was pregnant with twins.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant and cannot be without Hongdou.

Besides, if I had poisoned her intentionally, why would I have gotten pregnant? You must believe in my innocence."

"That's what Concubine Xiu said. It wasn't Concubine Jia who did it, nor was it you who did it. Could it be that Concubine Mei herself sought out the Yu family's strange poison and staged a plot to murder herself?"

Gao Xiyue sneered, her eyes full of absurdity and mockery.

Ruyi saw the emperor's expression and said with a clear cough, "Before everything is settled, Concubine Xiu doesn't have to do this.

You are pregnant with twins. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the princes in your belly. Hongdou, why don't you help your master up quickly?

However, Concubine Hui's words are not without reason. If you are innocent, you are not afraid of investigation."

The emperor's usually cold and calm eyes showed a hint of sinisterness. He suppressed his anger and gave a deep voice,

"Li Yu, take your men and search Qixiang Palace and Chuxiu Palace thoroughly for me. Don't let go of any clues.

I want to see who is using such cruel means to murder my heir in the harem. "

The search of Chuxiu Palace was quickly completed.

When she saw Li Yu take out a food box from the room, the blood color on Concubine Xiu's face instantly disappeared, and she turned as pale as snow.

She tried hard to conceal her inner panic and silently glared at Hongdou beside her, as if questioning why she didn't clean it up.

Hongdou was at a loss as to what to do. She could only whisper in Concubine Xiu's ear, "Master, I have repeatedly cleaned the food box with water. There shouldn't be any problem."

But before Concubine Xiu could feel at ease, a word from Imperial Doctor Jiang instantly sent her into hell.

“Your Majesty, even though the inside of this food box has been cleaned with water, you can see that the color of the edges is darker than other places.

This is because the pollen of the golden-winged white orchid is dissolved in water and attached to the food box. "

"It's really you!" Gao Xiyue pointed at Concubine Xiu's nose with her bare hands stained with bright red nail polish and shouted.

"You are a vicious woman with a heart as vicious as a snake and scorpion. You have harmed Liu Changzai and Mei Guiren. Are you plotting a rebellion by killing the heirs of the emperor like this?"

Gao Xiyue's words were a bit harsh, but the emperor was already extremely disappointed with Concubine Xiu, and he had neither the power nor the desire to stop her.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty didn't." Concubine Xiu knelt on the ground again, but this time, no one asked her to stand up.

The emperor's brows were filled with disappointment. He grabbed the food box and threw it in front of Concubine Xiu, "The evidence is here, how can you still argue?

Come, lock Hongdou up in the Ministry of Punishment. I want to hear her tell me everything in detail!"

Concubine Xiu subconsciously leaned back and tried to dodge.

Hongdou beside him had been dragged away by the palace servants with her mouth covered.

Concubine Xiu looked around helplessly, and when she caught a glimpse of Jin Yuyan who was pretending to be calm and composed beside her, she became furious.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me...

But I was confused for a moment. It was Concubine Jia...it was Concubine Jia who told me to do this."

Concubine Xiu burst into tears and fell weakly to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I know nothing about medicine, so how can I find such rare Yu's pollen?"

"What Concubine Xiu said does make some sense. Concubine Jia was born into the Yu family, so I'm afraid she can't escape suspicion." Gao Xiyue held the teacup, a smile on her lips, and did not forget to incite with words.

Jin Yuyan no longer cared about Gao Xiyue's ridicule at this moment. She angrily said to Concubine Xiu, "Concubine Xiu, how dare you slander a high-ranking concubine? This is a crime of insubordination!

Are you tired of living, disregarding the safety of your family?"

Jin Yuyan said this without any confidence.

She was from the Yu family, but this noble lady Xiu was from the third-rank cavalry general's mansion. No matter how bold the Yu family's envoys were, they didn't dare to silence the general's mansion.

Sure enough, Concubine Xiu sneered and did not take her threat seriously at all, "Is Concubine Jia so angry that she wants to silence me?

Although I am weak, I am still the daughter of the general. Everyone in my family practices martial arts, and I have the pride of a warrior in my bones.

If telling the truth is an act of disobedience, then I will admit it!"

Seeing that Lady Xiu was not buying it, Jin Yuyan quickly thought about her next plan. She didn't even notice the bloody marks on her palms from her fingernails.

Jin Yuyan covered her heart with her hands, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, and knelt pitifully in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiu has a sinister mind, you cannot trust her easily.

It must be her who collected the Yu family pollen from somewhere, just to slander me when something happens..."

"Jia Fei, you take yourself too seriously."

Gao Xiyue couldn't help laughing, "You mean, Concubine Xiu was pregnant and used this sachet to kill another concubine's child just to slander you?

Hahahaha, Your Majesty, I remember that when Concubine Jia pushed Concubine Mei down just now, she used the same excuse.

How important is Concubine Jia that two concubines would ignore their pregnancies just to frame you? Hahahaha."

"Okay, Concubine Hui, be careful." Although the emperor scolded, he agreed with Gao Xiyue's words in his heart.

Jin Yuyan is just a tribute of the Yu family. How could any concubine be willing to frame her at the cost of the royal heir?
