Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Ruyi's thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't find a way out, so she spoke to the emperor earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the six palaces. This time, the Fifth Prince got into trouble, so I am naturally to blame.

I, your concubine, have been a sister to Concubine Yu for many years, and I really cannot bear to see the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu suffer like this.

I request to personally interrogate Lan Cui and the palace maids of Yanxi Palace. I will definitely give the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu a fair explanation."

The emperor was about to agree when Concubine Cheng suddenly interrupted him. Her voice was soft, but as sharp as a knife that made it hard to defend against.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. It is precisely because of your deep friendship with Concubine Yu that you must avoid suspicion."

Hai Lan frowned and said in confusion, "I don't understand what Noble Lady Cheng said. What is there for the Imperial Concubine to be shy about?"

Concubine Cheng looked at Hai Lan with sympathy and pity, and said frankly, "Empress Yu, I heard that Miss Lan Cui has been following you for many years.

It was specially transferred to you by the Imperial Noble Consort from her surroundings when she was in the Yanx Palace.

You and the Royal Consort both had a master-servant relationship with this girl, so naturally you treat her much better than others.

Although you and the Imperial Concubine have a deep sisterly relationship, now the matter involves the safety of the prince and the reputation of the royal family. You cannot act solely on your emotions.

If you allow the evil slave to bully his master, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Furthermore, the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince are brothers. If something happens to the Fifth Prince, how will the Fourth Prince cope with it?

I cannot bear to see an innocent child like the Fifth Prince being harmed by a traitor. I ask His Majesty to investigate and give justice to the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu. "

Concubine Cheng's words were sincere and there was nothing wrong with them. But Ruyi's heart suddenly trembled.

Although Concubine Cheng's words seemed to say nothing, they were secretly guiding everyone and reminding them that Lan Cui had once been a maid beside Ruyi.

Although the mastermind behind instructing Lan Cui to poison the Fifth Prince is unknown, Ruyi cannot escape suspicion.

Although Ruyi and Hailan are on good terms on the surface, isn't there enough false sisterhood in the harem?

How many concubines appeared affectionate on the surface, but could stab people in the back without hesitation. It is really hard to tell what is true and what is false.

Furthermore, the fourth prince Yongji and the fifth prince Yongqi were good friends, but everyone said that Yongqi was the smarter and more intelligent of the two.

It is not impossible that Ruyi was jealous and secretly harmed Yongqi under the guise of brotherhood.

A hint of gloom flashed across Ruyi's eyes.

This noble lady Cheng, with her seemingly casual words of consolation, was able to immediately expose her suspicion as the imperial concubine to everyone. She really had good intentions.

The more this happened, the more Ruyi couldn't open her mouth to defend herself, otherwise it would prove that she was guilty.

She glanced at the emperor with clear eyes and saw that his brows were furrowed and his eyes were sinister.

Obviously, although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he had thought of this.

Ruyi sneered in her heart. Since Concubine Cheng liked to say things with hidden meanings, she would just play dumb and act innocent.

Ruyi used to pretend to be innocent and live a peaceful life, but Concubine Cheng's skills are not good enough.

Ruyi tried her best to clear the haze in her eyes and pretended to be innocent and asked, "Mrs. Cheng's words are so roundabout that I don't quite understand.

The Fifth Prince is blessed with great fortune and will surely be able to turn misfortune into fortune. Why do you have to make such bad plans and predictions for the Emperor and Concubine Yu?

The emperor is a wise ruler, with many children, and the Fifth Prince's brothers are all like this. Why do you say that the Fifth Prince's misfortune will make the Fourth Prince feel uncomfortable? "

Ruyi stared at the emperor with her eyes wide open and looked at him tenderly, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Cheng said is too profound. I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"

Ruyi wanted to tear off Concubine Cheng's sarcastic appearance and expose her stabbing character, so that others, especially the emperor, would discover how deep her inner scheming was.

The emperor's eyes were filled with suspicion and worry, he looked at Concubine Cheng, then at Ruyi, and said softly, "This is indeed strange.

Imperial Concubine, what Lady Cheng means is that Lan Cui was once your maid, so you should avoid suspicion."

Ruyi seemed to have just remembered this matter. She covered her lips with a handkerchief to hide the exclamation that escaped from her mouth, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect...

In that case, I will just avoid suspicion.

But after all, the Fifth Prince was born and raised under my care, so Your Majesty must give justice to Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince."

Ruyi's words were intended to remind the emperor that if it had not been for her, it would have been hard to say whether Hai Lan's fifth prince could have been born safely.

After all, Jin Yuyan had wanted to transfer Jiang Yubin and replace the imperial physician. Although it was not exposed openly, the emperor was always aware of it.

Ruyi would do her best to protect a cradle baby without doing anything to him, so how could she try to murder him when he had already grown up?

Isn't this a waste of time and arouses suspicion?

Ruyi's behavior really reminded the emperor of the past, and his expression softened a lot.

He said solemnly to Concubine Cheng, "Concubine Cheng is new to the palace and doesn't know some things. It's understandable that she has misunderstandings and suspicions about the Imperial Concubine.

But I believe in the character of the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Cheng's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, and then she twisted her handkerchief in shame and responded in a soft voice, "I spoke nonsense, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine.

But people's minds are always hard to tell and change easily. It would be bad if someone deliberately targeted the Imperial Concubine and used this to damage her reputation.

I feel that since the Imperial Noble Consort is innocent, she should just trust the Emperor like I do.

The Queen also said that the Emperor is a wise ruler, and his judgment will not be wrong."

Ruyi sneered in her heart. If there was anyone who wanted to damage her reputation, Concubine Cheng would definitely be the first one.

She acted like this because she didn't want Ruyi to personally judge the matter.

Although Ruyi is upright and fearless, she still hasn't figured out Concubine Cheng's deep intentions.

She stood there in silence and did not respond.

The emperor has been on the throne for quite some time. Although he has not learned much of the emperor's ability to command authority without even getting angry, he has learned the emperor's suspicion to the fullest.

Seeing that Ruyi was slow to speak, his brows were about to twist together again.

Seeing that things were heading in a direction that was unfavorable to Ruyi, Hai Lan became anxious, "The Imperial Noble Consort has always been very fond of the Fifth Prince, and what you said is too mean.

I have been friends with the Imperial Concubine for many years, how can I allow you to instigate me?"

Noble Lady Cheng blinked like a frightened deer and shrank back behind the emperor, "Empress Yu, please calm down. I was just guessing, I didn't mean that.

Concubine Yu has a kind heart, and when something like this happens, she may be worried.

I just couldn't bear to see you being deceived by the treacherous people, so I warned you. Please don't worry, Imperial Noble Consort and Concubine Yu."
