Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Lian Xin smiled and waved her hands, "The Queen went with the Emperor to Mount Tai early this morning to worship at the Bixia Yuanjun Temple. I don't think she will be back for a while.

Although the Empress has instructed me to watch the Eighth Prince memorize his lessons, he is still young and playful, so it would not hurt for him to take a break once in a while.

Ma'am, there's no need to be so alarmed. I won't say anything too much in front of the Queen.

Mammy, please drink your tea quickly. I will take the Eighth Prince to the courtyard to relax, so that Mammy can relax too."

Hearing this, the wet nurse knelt down and bowed gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Lianxin, for your understanding."

Lianxin picked up Yongcong, but when she turned around, she glanced meaningfully at the teacup in the wet nurse's hand.

After returning from Mount Tai, Fu Cha Langya felt a little better.

Although she still drank bitter medicine and held ginseng slices in her mouth every day, Fu Cha Langya would insist on following the emperor wherever he went and would never be absent.

On the way back from the eastern tour, the emperor drove to Dezhou. The emperor thought about the empress's hard work from the long journey.

So he deliberately abandoned his car and boarded the boat, and ordered his men to return by water.

The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and people also sighed at the deep love between the emperor and the empress, which was a blessing for the world.

This time, the eastern tour was smooth sailing. Fucha Langya gradually relaxed and began to appreciate the scenery along the way.

However, this rare and relaxing day did not last long before a piece of bad news plunged Fu Cha Langya into the abyss.

The wet nurse who served Yongcong had been absent-minded and a bit irritable recently. When she read, her voice was dull, like a monk chanting sutras, and Yongcong was a little impatient to listen to her.

However, Fu Cha Langya asked about Yongcong's academic progress every day. The wet nurse was anxious and spoke a little harshly when guiding Yongcong to study.

Yongcong felt wronged, so he took advantage of the wet nurse's carelessness and sneaked out.

Yongcong had just learned to walk not long ago, and the boat was unstable. Every step he took was crooked and shaky, which made the palace people terrified.

The palace maids wanted to pick Yongcong up, but Yongcong was unwilling and struggled desperately. He really didn't want to be caught again, so he continued to listen to his wet nurse reading.

The palace servants had no choice but to follow Yongcong carefully.

Yongcong stumbled forward, but suddenly he fell and rolled off the boat and accidentally fell into the water.

The depth of the river was unknown, and the palace servants accompanying him could not swim. It seemed that Yongcong would soon run out of strength and be swallowed by the current.

Fortunately, a guard who could swim heard the noise and ran over to rescue Yongcong in time.

However, Yongcong was already weak, and due to shock he choked on water. When he was rescued he was already unconscious and had a slight fever.

Fu Cha Langya was extremely angry. She ordered people to beat the group of palace maids, including the wet nurse, to death.

Fu Cha Langya, who was already in poor health and had been relying on bitter ginseng medicine to stay alive, became so anxious that she fell ill before Yongcong woke up.

On the Qingque Boat, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were guarding Yongcong, their brows filled with anxiety.

When the Queen Mother learned that the Queen had killed the palace maid and the wet nurse, she looked a little worried, "Emperor, I have specially ordered Fujia to conduct a thorough investigation.

The boats we used for this trip were all newly launched. To prevent water leakage and corrosion in the cabins, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has recently been ordering people in the palace to paint them with tung oil.

Yongcong was young and ignorant, and he happened to step on a spot of tung oil that had not dried yet, and accidentally fell into the water.

Although this incident hurt the prince, it was ultimately just an accident.

It would have been fine if the queen had issued an order to beat the palace maids to death, but now even the wet nurse was executed. This kind of brutality was really too much.

After all, this place is not as convenient as the palace. When Yongcong wakes up, where can we find someone to serve him attentively?"

Although the emperor also felt that Fu Cha Langya's behavior was too radical, he still spoke up for her, "The queen is a loving mother and is worried about Yong Cong, so she was so anxious to issue the decree.

Now that the Queen has fainted, please be understanding, Madam, and don't blame her too harshly."

"Hmph, the Queen has a loving motherly heart, so am I?" The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with worry.

After all, Yongcong was the eldest grandson whom she raised personally, so how could the empress dowager not feel sorry for him?

"Yong Cong was raised by my mother from a skinny little baby to a plump little one. But the queen insisted on taking him away.

She could have taken him away, but she actually forced the young Yongcong to listen to the nurse reading and reciting books every day. How absurd.

I tried to advise her kindly, but she said that Yongcong was the emperor's legitimate son, so he naturally needed to be educated from a young age so that he could become a useful person as soon as possible.

The words sounded high-sounding, but in her haste to achieve success, had she ever considered whether Yongcong's body could handle it?

She also told me that Yongcong was young and ignorant. When he grows up, he will naturally thank the queen for her kindness in nurturing him since childhood.

Has the Queen forgotten why Yonglian died?"

The emperor blushed a little, but in fact, what Fucha Langya did was what he expected.

Without Yonglian, the emperor hoped from the bottom of his heart that Yongcong could grow up to be a qualified crown prince as soon as possible.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the queen mother suppressed her anger and whispered, "I get angry when you talk about this.

The emperor's Yonglian was originally a good prince and had always been in good health.

But in the end, he was driven to death by a mother who always wanted to be the first in everything!"

The Queen Mother's words were serious. The Emperor wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

All the concubines came to the Qingque Boat one after another. After greeting each other, they all stood in silence, not daring to breathe more than a breath.

The Queen Mother knew that she was overly worried about Yongcong, so her words were a little harsh.

In order to give the emperor a way out, she sighed, "Forget it, the queen is like this now, I can't bear to blame her.

I heard that the one who rescued Yongcong this time was a guard?"

The emperor looked at Li Yu, who understood and bowed his head in response, "To answer the Queen Mother's question, this man's name is Ling Yunche, and he was originally a third-class guard stationed in Kunning Palace.

Because there were so many people accompanying the emperor on this eastern tour, Concubine Xian was worried that there would be a shortage of guards around the emperor, so she specially transferred a group of guards from various places to take turns on duty.

Ling Yunche is one of them."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and Ruyi indirectly saved Yongcong's life.

The Queen Mother looked at Ruyi with some approval in her eyes, "Noble Concubine Xian is helping to manage the six palaces, and she is thoughtful in everything. She is a good person.

This guard was quite clever. If he hadn't been so good at swimming and so brave and careful, Yong Cong would have been hard to be rescued to shore in time."

Even though Ruyi was praised by the Empress Dowager, her face did not show any arrogance.

Instead, she still maintained a hint of worry, as if she was concerned about Yongcong's safety.

If something happens to the legitimate son, the ones who will benefit the most now are the eldest son Yonghuang and the noble son Yongji.

The Empress Dowager quietly stared at Gao Xiyue and Ruyi's expressions for a long while, but did not notice anything unusual.

I thought to myself that this seemed to be an accident.
