Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

A dizzy feeling came over him, and Xiao Zhuzi hurried forward to support Yongqi's body, "Master, be careful. It's fortunate that you have noticed it now. You must tell the Queen about this."

Yongqi took another big gulp of the cold tea on the table, only to feel his whole body go cold before he stopped.

"Li Guiren is a concubine in the harem. With my ability, I can prevent her but I can't do anything to her. So naturally, I need help from others.

The Empress Dowager is pregnant, so I don't want her to worry about me. Empress Yu is in charge of the six palaces and has the power to take charge.

I will discuss this matter with Empress Yu first, and once the matter is resolved, it won’t be too late to slowly tell Empress Madam.”

Yongqi rubbed his chin very sensibly, thinking,

"But we can't alert the enemy. Xiao Zhuzi, go and see if the red cloud cake in Xiao Lizi's hand is still there. If it is, take it away as well.

Then we can go to the imperial kitchen and get some cakes and pastries. We will go find our fifth brother first and then go to the Yanxi Palace with him.

Doctor Jiang, please be a witness. If a confrontation is necessary, you will be needed to come forward."

"Of course." Jiang Yubin responded respectfully, and then deliberately said loudly to the outside, "The Fourth Prince is in good health and there is nothing wrong.

It is just that you should drink less cold tea in winter, so as not to accumulate moisture and harm your body. I will take my leave now."

Although Xiao Zhuzi looked gloomy, he was very calm and composed. He soon came back with a lunch box.

In the Yanxi Palace, Hai Lan, wearing a blue velvet-edged Manchu dress embroidered with butterfly patterns, was sitting on a soft couch in the soft sunlight filtering through the window lattices, flipping through the files sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs page by page.

"This month, the Emperor has only come to the harem a few times. Most of the time he went there to see Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke. The other times he went to see my sister.

It is understandable that these palaces have more expenses. But why has Yongshou Palace spent so much recently? What's the matter with the large amount of medicinal materials transferred from the Imperial Hospital?"

Hai Lan frowned slightly, and her sharp eyes shot towards Qin Li, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Qin Li flattered her repeatedly, "Empress Yu really has a keen eye.

The two young ladies of Yongshou Palace originally had damaged appearances, and they may have been anxious recently, so they consulted several imperial doctors, who prescribed prescriptions, saying that they should soak in medicinal baths every day to restore their appearance. "

That makes sense.

Hai Lan didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, so she closed the account book and quietly said, "Just give them whatever they need. But there are palace rules, and the share of nobles can't be easily exceeded. Eunuch Qin has been the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years, he should know what to do."

Of course Qin Li understood. He had done this kind of thing many times in the past, repairing the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang.

But this time he did not readily agree, but scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Empress Yu is right.

However, the two young ladies of Yongshou Palace were recommended by the Queen Mother. If..."

Hai Lan smiled gently, but her eyes did not contain any unnecessary emotions, "If the Queen Mother has spoken, then of course we must obey her orders.

But if the Queen Mother didn't mention it, you don't have to be so proactive. If you guess wrongly what the superiors are thinking, it will be more trouble than gain.

Eunuch Qin, you are a smart man, do you understand what I am saying?"

Hailan had long known that these two people had intended to frame Ruyi during the southern tour, so she had never liked them very much.

But on the surface she is in charge of the palace power, so she must be fair and strict, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

But in some small matters, if it could embarrass Yongshou Palace, why wouldn't Hai Lan do it?

The people above her referred not only to the empress dowager, but also to the queen and even the emperor.

As the Queen Mother grew older, her power gradually weakened, and now she only had the advantage of seniority.

But the emperor and the empress are still in their prime, they are deeply in love and are of one mind.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows who to choose if there is a conflict between the two.

Qin Li was able to stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years because he could guess the thoughts of his superiors. He could make small mistakes, but he would never make any big mistakes of principle.

After hearing Hai Lan's suggestion, Qin Li rolled his eyes and flattered her, "Yes, yes, what Concubine Yu said is right.

"Look, I will ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be alert. They must not break the rules or exceed the regulations. Please rest assured, Concubine Yu."

Hai Lan nodded and signaled Qin Li to leave. Then she saw Yong Ji and Yong Qi coming side by side.

Hailan smiled with a hint of surprise and waved, motioning the two to come forward.

After the two of them bowed respectfully, they both took their seats.

"How come you two brothers have time to come to my place today?"

Yongqi still found it difficult to speak, so Yongqi narrated what had happened today in detail and vividly for him.

When it was mentioned that Yongqi could only clear his mind by drinking cold tea in winter, Hailan slammed the table angrily and said, "How dare Yongshou Palace plot against the legitimate son so boldly?

Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you were recommended by the Queen Mother?"

Yongqi said hurriedly, "Empress Yu, please calm down, I am just guessing.

After all, although the Tongyun cake was sent by Concubine Li, it had passed through the hands of many people in between, so it was difficult to explain.

Moreover, the method of using Astragalus as medicine is extremely covert, and it is difficult to directly point the finger at Concubine Li.

I am worried that if I rashly target Lady Li, I might fall into her trap, or be outwitted by her. That is why I came to ask Lady Yu to help me think of a solution. "

Hailan calmed down and her voice became much gentler, "Good boy, you are a sensible person.

Even for you and my sister, I will never let go of the sinister person who drugged you. However, I will also consider your concerns.

You don't have to worry. Go back today and report your illness, saying you have a cold or something, and then have Doctor Jiang come to check your pulse every day. I will take care of the rest."

After getting Hailan's approval, Yongqi felt relieved. After sincerely thanking her, he went to the cloth warehouse with Yongqi to practice archery.

He practiced until he was sweating profusely, and then returned to the prince's residence in full view of everyone.

After returning, Yongqi caught a cold and stayed indoors.

Ruyi was extremely anxious, and it took Hailan a long time to persuade her personally.

When Yongqi went to visit Yongji on behalf of Ruyi and Hailan, he met Xiaolizi who was carrying medicine.

Later, Xiao Lizi was imprisoned by Concubine Yu herself because he spilled the boiling hot medicine on Yongqi's body when delivering it. No one was allowed to visit him as a punishment.

Although it was called detention, in fact, Hai Lan had already locked Xiao Lizi up in the Ministry of Punishment and had found a few tight-lipped maids to interrogate him.

Xiao Lizi was a coward and quickly confessed that it was Concubine Li who gave him a lot of money and benefits, and asked him to deliver Tongyun cake to Yongqi every day and watch him eat it.
