Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 152 A Good Wife Leads to Less Trouble

The emperor seemed to want to compensate Fu Cha Langya for everything she owed Yongcong.

The dead are gone. Ruyi looked at the emperor coldly, transferring all her deep affection for Fu Cha Langya in her previous life to the Eighth Prince, feeling inexplicably sad and bitter in her heart.

As the saying goes, a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband, I'm afraid the emperor will never be able to experience this in his lifetime.

That day, Ruyi and Hailan went to Xiefang Palace with snacks to visit Yongji and Yongqi.

During the day, the two of them observed filial piety and followed the eldest prince Yonghuang in performing the ceremony of worship.

Later in the evening, he returned to Xiefang Palace, but he was unwilling to rest immediately and always wanted to review his lessons and practice calligraphy.

Ruyi asked Jiang Yubin, the two princes are strong and have a very good foundation. Now that they are still young, their bones have begun to grow.

There is nothing wrong with proper diligence and study.

Yongqi was a man of pure talent, with an extraordinary character, diligent in study, and good at writing. Yongqi was intelligent and clever, especially good at martial arts.

The two brothers, one literary and one military, have been close since childhood, and their deep brotherly love is a rare kind in the royal family.

When I came back from Xiefang Palace, I saw a sedan chair parked in front of the gate of Yiku Palace from afar.

Sanbao trotted forward and said that Concubine Hui had come to pay a special visit.

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi in surprise, "Hasn't Concubine Hui always been trying to curry favor with Empress Xiaoxian?

Empress Xiaoxian passed away. Is she planning to turn around and curry favor with her sister like the other concubines?"

Ruyi smiled calmly. She had never revealed her relationship with Gao Xiyue to anyone.

Even when Gao Xiyue went to the Old Summer Palace last time and hoped that Hai Lan, who stayed in the Forbidden City, would take good care of Concubine Mei, it was Ruyi who conveyed the message.

But now, Fucha Langya has passed away. Ruyi is determined to get the position of queen.

When she takes the throne in the future, she must not let any mistakes be made about her virtues. Therefore, Ruyi did not intend to keep some things from Hailan any longer.

"The position of Queen is vacant, and people's hearts are bound to be unsettled. Concubine Hui may have something to say to me. Hailan, please listen with me."

Ruyi's words were vague, but Hailan still had some doubts. "Sister, you and the emperor have been childhood sweethearts, and you are the highest-ranking and most experienced concubine in the harem.

He has both a son and a daughter, and has always been known to be kind and virtuous.

You are the best candidate to succeed the throne. Don't let Concubine Hui or Concubine Chun easily scheme against you."

Ruyi knew what Hailan was worried about.

Concubine Chun was loyal and honest. If she had not been instigated by Jin Yuyan in her previous life, she would not have necessarily thought of competing with her for the position of queen.

As for Concubine Hui, she had already used her as a leverage to support her.

If they don't fight with her, everything will be fine. If they come to fight, Ruyi is not afraid.

"Hai Lan, I understand what you said. I have already made up my mind, so you can rest assured.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Hui are no match for me. My real rival will soon enter the palace."

There was a hint of coldness in Ruyi's eyes.

The cousin whom Fu Cha Langya recommended as the empress before her death was the biggest obstacle for Ruyi to ascend to the throne.

Today, Ruyi is only one step away from becoming the queen.

She would not allow anyone to stop her from moving forward, not even the powerful Fucha family.

There was a kind of arrogance and sharpness in Ruyi's eyes that Hai Lan had never seen before.

Although Hai Lan was puzzled, she still obediently followed Ruyi into the Yikun Palace.

Gao Xiyue had been waiting in the side hall for a long time.

When she met Ruyi, she squatted and saluted respectfully, without any of the rebelliousness she showed outside.

Hai Lan was secretly amazed, then looking at Ruyi's calm eyes and familiar attitude, she had some vague guesses in her mind.

"Concubine Hui, thank you for your hard work this time.

It has been a long time since the eighth prince passed away. I have already presented a Buddhist scripture that I copied myself and placed it in the Anhua Hall for worship. This can help you reduce some of your karma."

In Ruyi's slightly curved eyes as she smiled, there was still a hint of gentleness and kindness.

Gao Xiyue raised her lips when she heard this, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so careful.

The ships on the eastern tour were always coated with tung oil for waterproofing every day.

I simply found a tight-lipped eunuch to apply the tung oil a little more frequently on that patch.

Tung oil is lubricating and becomes transparent and difficult to distinguish after a short time after application.

Things are unpredictable, how could I have expected that the Eighth Prince would be so unlucky that he would just step on it that day. "

Hai Lan was surprised. It turned out that Concubine Hui was the one behind the death of the Eighth Prince?

Judging from the look on my sister’s face, it seems like she knew this a long time ago?

Hailan has always been smart and scheming by nature.

In the past, she just thought that Ruyi didn't like scheming, so she suppressed herself in many things and seldom took action.

But today, her sister exposed her plan in front of her.

Does this mean that my sister finally needs my help?

Joy and unknown excitement gradually filled Hailan's eyes.

Ruyi picked up the teacup, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and asked casually, "Is that little eunuch really so tight-lipped?"

"Empress Xiaoxian and the Eighth Prince have just passed away, and there are so many people on the Eastern Tour that no one cares if a little eunuch is missing.

Don't worry, Imperial Concubine, this dead man's mouth is naturally tight." Gao Xiyue said the vicious words calmly and gently.

Ruyi couldn't help but chuckle, "You do things very neatly."

Gao Xiyue stroked the pink silk tassels on her temples and smiled charmingly, "I was able to avenge myself thanks to the Imperial Concubine, who helped me and Lianxin get together."

When Gao Xiyue first learned that Lianxin was a secret agent planted by Ruyi next to Fucha Langya, she was also extremely surprised.

She never expected that Ruyi, not only was she shrewd and cunning, but she could also unknowingly instigate the rebellion of the senior palace maid beside Fucha Langya.

Gao Xiyue's admiration for Ruyi's scheming had gone beyond admiration and turned into awe.

During the more than a year that Fucha Langya was confined in Changchun Palace after giving birth to Yongcong, Lianxin had been provoking Fucha Langya with words.

The intention is to make her heart darker and more anxious, worried about gains and losses.

Years of sorrow and anxiety have made Fu Cha Langya's mind confused and extremely fragile.

At Ruyi's suggestion, Gao Xiyue prepared some irritable powder on the way to the east tour, intending to let Lianxin put it in Fucha Langya's food.

Unfortunately, the queen is the queen after all, and the poison-testing maids around Fucha Langya are very cautious.

Lianxin didn't know how to do it, so she simply put it in the tea of ​​the Eighth Prince's wet nurse.

Sure enough, the wet nurse gradually became irritable and lost her patience as she read to Yongcong day after day.

This made Yongcong unhappy, and he ran away secretly. Finally, he accidentally stepped on tung oil and fell into the water.

Ruyi specifically hinted to Ling Yunche that tung oil was slippery, and asked him to go to the Qingque Boat to protect the nobles and be careful not to let anyone fall into the water.

Ling Yunche was smart enough to fly over to rescue Yongcong as soon as he found him falling into the water.

That's why he was able to seize the opportunity, make contributions, and become the imperial guard.
