Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

However, Xiao Lizi really didn't know that there was something wrong with Tongyun Cake.

He just thought that Concubine Li wanted to curry favor with the legitimate son in this way, so that Yongqi would remember her kindness and retain a place in the palace.

Two days later, Xiao Lizi was released seemingly "unharmed" and returned to Yongqi to serve him.

In Yongshou Palace, Concubine Rou learned that Yongqi was ill, and went to Concubine Li's palace anxiously.

After raising her hand to dismiss the servants, she asked, "Sister, did you hit him too hard?"

Concubine Li was standing in front of a floor-length glass mirror, gesturing at a newly made pomegranate-colored long skirt with a pattern of flowing clouds and flying cranes that fell to the ground.

Hearing this, she hung up her dance skirt lovingly, and then said slowly and nonchalantly, "Sister, why are you so anxious? Am I such a fool?

No matter what, the Fourth Prince is still the legitimate son. If he dies, what benefit will I get except sacrificing my own life?"

Concubine Rou's eyebrows were almost on fire. "Earlier, you sent palace servants to spread gossip near the prince's residence. They said that the queen was pregnant and the fourth prince's position would be in jeopardy.

I didn't stop you because you acted decisively and found excuses to deal with those palace inmates, leaving no future trouble.

Later, you made Tongyun cake and asked Xiao Lizi to coax the Fourth Prince to eat it. I thought this was risky.

Now that the Fourth Prince is ill, was it you who tampered with the Tongyun Cake?"

"Of course not."

Concubine Li turned around and smiled charmingly, "There's nothing unclean in the Tongyun cake, at most the medicinal ingredients conflict with each other.

The Fourth Prince fell ill because he was weak.

I have sent someone to investigate. He went to the cloth warehouse to practice martial arts that day, but he did not wipe off the sweat on his body and went back to the prince's residence in the snow and wind. This is why he caught a cold. What does it have to do with me?"

Concubine Li lowered her voice and whispered softly, "Don't worry, sister. I have already thought of a way out. Even if someone finds out, it will be the fault of the Imperial Hospital.

If Concubine Yu and the Queen insist on making a fuss, I can take this opportunity to pretend to be pitiful and ignorant.

Then the Queen Mother will come forward and say that the Queen is jealous, cannot tolerate concubines, and can't even take care of her own son. Then we can benefit from it."

After hearing this, Concubine Rou's expression gradually eased, and she continued, "But that little Lizi was just punished by Concubine Yu. Do you think Concubine Yu has noticed something?"

"Sister, you're worrying too much. I've asked someone to check on Xiao Lizi.

He was only imprisoned and punished by Concubine Yu, who loved her son dearly, because he was careless while doing his job and wet the hem of the Fifth Prince's clothes. "

Concubine Li raised her hand and took out a pure ice-type lake blue beauty bracelet from the table, gently stroking its delicate jade in her hands.

He said sarcastically, "Didn't you see that he is now working for the Fourth Prince again?

If Concubine Yu noticed something was wrong, given the strong sisterly bond between her and the Queen, how could she allow the person who took care of the Fourth Prince to have any ulterior motives?"

"That's true." Concubine Rou felt a little relieved, and then she said with a slightly meaningful look in her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me if you had such a plan?"

"This is still a mystery. How am I going to tell my sister?"

Concubine Li did not look at Concubine Rou for long, but looked at herself in the mirror and gently stroked her cheek. Her eyes were blurred and deep, as if she was drunk in a dream.

"The medicine sent by the Imperial Hospital is really effective when I take a medicinal bath. Now even if I don't put on powder, there is no scar on my face.

Look, sister, such a gorgeous dress, such exquisite jewelry, if it weren’t for the Queen Mother’s pity, I’m afraid we would never be able to enjoy them in this lifetime.

The Emperor has already turned over the sign for the Yongshou Palace. Sister, do you want to come with us tonight?"

Concubine Rou clenched her hands and asked, "What have you prepared for the Emperor?"

"Hahahaha, sister, do you still need to pretend to be so innocent in front of me?

Speaking of which, between the two of us sisters, wasn't it you who first turned to the Queen Mother? And then you worried about your unstable position, so you dragged me along, right?"

Concubine Li covered her mouth and chuckled, "It is our turn to sleep with the emperor tonight, so I will naturally prepare the most fragrant wine and the most beautiful woman for the emperor."

In the Yikun Palace, in the green and gold-patterned incense burner, wisps of calming incense were slowly wafting out.

Ruyi was sitting on the couch with her bulging belly, embroidering a pattern stitch by stitch.

The dense fragrance gently wrapped around her, making Ruyi's originally sharp jaw look much softer.

The emperor was supposed to go to Yongshou Palace today.

However, I heard that Yongqi was ill and has not recovered yet. I was worried that Ruyi would worry too much and have a miscarriage, so I took a detour and went into Yiku Palace first.

The emperor gently stroked Ruyi's belly and asked with concern, "Have you been feeling unwell recently?

You are getting older, why are you still bothering to embroider for the baby in your belly? It will hurt your eyes."

Ruyi gently shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. How could I be suffering while carrying your legitimate child?

However, Your Majesty guessed wrong. I was not embroidering for the baby in my belly, but preparing to make a sachet for Yongji."

Upon hearing this, the emperor picked up the embroidery frame and took a closer look. It was decorated with flower and cloud patterns, which were very simple and elegant, suitable for men to wear.

Ruyi's voice was mixed with a hint of sadness, and she spoke slowly, "I have heard from Concubine Yu that Yongqi is not talented in martial arts, so he can only make up for his shortcomings with hard work.

It's all my fault that I have been lazy and neglectful during my pregnancy and haven't taken enough care of him, which is why the child has caught a cold.

I am now worried about the baby in my belly and have never been to see Yongji in person. I am really not a good mother..."

Being pregnant, Ruyi was very emotional, and she burst into tears. The emperor quickly held her in his arms with a loving heart.

"Tomorrow I will take Qi Ru with me to visit Yongji in person.

Yongji is a good and sensible child. If you catch a cold because of him while you are pregnant, I am afraid he will be even more worried. "

The emperor had many sons, but Yongqi was not outstanding except for his status as a legitimate son and a noble son. He would just study hard all day long and never fight for anything.

It is said that sensible children suffer the most.

Just look at the fact that Yongji had been ill for several days, but the emperor had never visited him in person, which shows how cold-hearted people are.

Since the child will not fight, his mother must seize every opportunity to make him appear in front of the emperor.

The two of them embraced each other tenderly for a while, and Ruyi finally stopped crying, with eyes as bright as stars, "Didn't the emperor turn over the sign of Yongshou Palace tonight?

Why haven't you come yet? I'm afraid Lady Li is getting impatient."

The emperor smiled and joked, "Ruyi, are you jealous? If you are jealous, then I will not go to Yongshou Palace. I will stay in Yikun Palace to accompany you, okay?"
