Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Ruyi clenched her pink fist and gently hit the emperor's chest, like a kitten scratching an itch.

"Your Majesty, please don't stay with me. I can't sleep with you. Do you want Your Majesty to stay up all night in front of the lamp oil?

I am not jealous. I am determined to be a virtuous queen. Your Majesty, please go find Concubine Li quickly, otherwise the Queen Mother will find out and blame me for monopolizing your favor."

Ruyi calmly applied another layer of eye drops to the empress dowager.

Seeing the emperor frowning slightly and then leaving Yikun Palace without looking back, Ruyi hid the smile on her face.

Rong Pei took the white fox fur cloak and put it on Ruyi, "Madam, it's windy outside, I'll wait for you to rest early."

Ruyi shook her head. "No hurry. Just leave two lights on for a while. Tonight is not over yet."

Before midnight, a palace maid hurried to the Yanx Palace and found Hai Lan, saying that something had happened in the Yongshou Palace.

Hailan adjusted her slightly loose hair and refused Ye Xin's suggestion to do her makeup. She just took the eyebrow powder and lightly applied it under her eyes, revealing two tired circles under her eyes.

"I am the assistant to the six palaces. Now is not the time to compete for splendor. Let's prepare the sedan chair and rush to Yongshou Palace to check the situation."

Hai Lan spoke anxiously, but her hands moved calmly, and her lacquered eyes did not even have a trace of anxiety.

When Hai Lan entered the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, she saw the brightly lit hall, which was three times brighter than in the daytime due to the candlelight all over the yard.

The palace servants knelt down at the entrance of the palace trembling with fear.

When Concubine Rou and Concubine Li heard that Hai Lan was coming, they seemed to have found their backbone, so they gathered up their light clothes, put on thick furs, and went out to greet her.

"What happened?" Hai Lan asked solemnly, glancing at the two beauties kneeling on the ground below.

Concubine Li was already stunned by the shock, but Concubine Rou was relatively calm, choosing her words carefully and saying, "In reply to Concubine Yu, the Emperor was in high spirits tonight, so he summoned us to drink and have fun together.

Sister Li has choreographed a new dance that requires a couple to dance together, so I came to help Sister Li.

Who would have thought that the Emperor might have been too busy with government affairs during the day, too tired, and... and too much alcohol, so... that's why he fainted..."

"At this point, you still won't tell the truth?"

Hai Lan was too lazy to listen to their arguments, and she angrily said with a sneer on her lips, "The emperor has always been in good health, it's just a few glasses of wine, it won't harm the emperor's health.

Was it because of excessive drinking, or was it because you did something else?

If you tell the truth, I might give you some advice for the sake of serving the Emperor together.

But if you still insist on doing it, I will call the imperial physician. Do you know what is good for you?"

Concubine Li was very timid at the moment. She shrank her shoulders and was about to speak.

Concubine Rou interrupted loudly, "Empress Yu, I don't understand what you are saying.

Although my position is not as high as yours, you cannot be so domineering as to accuse others of crimes at will.

I know a little bit about medicine. It is obvious that the emperor is just tired and drunk. I have sent someone to invite the Queen Mother and the Empress. I think they will be here soon. "

This noble lady Rou was quick, but no matter how fast she was, she could not be faster than Hai Lan who had anticipated it.

Hai Lan raised her eyebrows and shouted, "You caused such a mess in the bedroom, and you dare to alarm the Queen Mother and the Empress?

The Queen Mother was getting older and had already retired by this time. The Queen was pregnant, so even the Emperor couldn't bear to trouble her.

You two are so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. If you disturb the baby in the Queen's belly, when the Emperor wakes up, I will see how you two sisters will explain it!"

Concubine Rou held the handkerchief in her hand, her mind churning with thoughts. Concubine Li, however, could no longer bear the reprimand and began to sob.

Jiang Yubin was not on duty today, so Hailan invited Doctor Qi to come. Doctor Qi rushed to Yongshou Palace, and after a series of acupuncture and medication, the emperor finally woke up.

The emperor felt dizzy and it took him a long time to recover before he saw Hai Lan standing beside the bed and two nobles kneeling side by side below.

He held his forehead and stood up, and said hoarsely as if he was trying to hold back a headache, "I am..."

Doctor Qi said in a deep voice, "The emperor drank too much, so his body is exhausted and he is dizzy.

I have checked it, the wine is fine, but someone has added a large amount of warming powder into it."

"Warming powder?" The emperor took the tea handed to him by Hai Lan and glanced at the kneeling people one by one. "Qi Ru, what is that?"

Doctor Qi seemed to be struggling internally, and after a long pause, he answered truthfully, "This is a secret palace medicine handed down from the previous dynasty, and it is extremely rare.

Although taking it in moderation can help with sexual pleasure, it is not a big deal. But..."

The emperor frowned and asked sternly and urgently, "But what?"

Doctor Qi bowed and said, "But the person who gave the medicine was probably too eager to achieve the desired effect and used too much. The emperor's body couldn't handle it and he fainted."

Hai Lan waved to Ye Xin to bring a tray with a piece of paper on it that was burned with only a small piece left.

"Your Majesty, this was found in the extinguished charcoal basin under the bed in Li Guiren's bedroom when I ordered my men to search the Yongshou Palace.

Doctor Qi has already confirmed that the piece of paper is stained with the warming powder.

This thing is not available in the Imperial Hospital. I have questioned Lady Li, but she refused to tell me where the powder came from. She even used the Queen Mother's name to pressure me, intending to make a big deal out of a small matter."

Hai Lan repeated the previous confrontation with an innocent look on her face, but implicitly her words pointed the finger at the man in the Cining Palace.

The Emperor's heart was like a volcano about to erupt. He was extremely angry, but he could not say it out loud. He could only glare at Concubine Li's beautiful but guilty face.

Concubine Li was so anxious that the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

After she had administered the drug, she threw the paper bag into the charcoal basin, but she clearly watched the paper bag being burned to ashes.

Concubine Li racked her brains but couldn't figure out how Hai Lan had found such a fish that had slipped through the net.

Although Concubine Li remained silent, her lack of rebuttal meant that she agreed.

With a loud bang, the emperor threw the teacup in his hand towards Concubine Li.

"Vicious woman!"

Li Guiren was still thinking deeply, and she didn't have time to dodge. The teacup was hard and hit her forehead, causing a bloody swelling.

Concubine Li was so frightened by the emperor's sudden rude behavior that she knelt there motionless. Concubine Rou, on the other hand, kept kowtowed and begged the emperor to calm down in a mournful voice.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li and Concubine Rou fought for your favor and went too far, causing such a disaster.

If I hadn’t arrived in time today, I’m afraid Lady Li would have invited the Queen Mother and the Empress to Yongshou Palace to watch the fun…”

Hai Lan stopped talking, pretended to have said something wrong and paused, then continued, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li and Concubine Rou secretly administered secret drugs, which harmed the emperor's body and affected his reputation. How do you think we should deal with them?"
