Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Concubine Rou's extremely smooth nails were embedded in her palms, leaving crescent-shaped red marks.

Li Shuren is her biological sister. They grew up together and the feelings they have had for so many years cannot be fake.

After Li Shuren was sent to the cold palace, Concubine Rou had been out of favor and had not been able to find a chance to rescue Li Shuren.

She was already feeling extremely guilty and couldn't sleep at night.

Now, the Queen Mother actually asked her... How could she bear it?

Concubine Rou calmed herself down, thought for a moment, and said with a forced smile, "Aunt Fujia, if the Queen Mother wants Sister Li to shut up, I can give her a mute potion, or even a crazy potion.

I will also strive for favor and will definitely help the Queen Mother continue to gather information from the Emperor.

Please, for the sake of our sister and I being well-behaved, obedient and law-abiding, help me plead with the Queen Mother to spare her life.

I promise that I will never let her talk nonsense again, or say anything crazy that involves the Queen Mother."

Fujia's eyes were filled with indifference, "Noble Lady Rou, it's not like the Queen Mother didn't give you time.

But since Li Shuren was banished to the cold palace, have you ever slept with her once?

Do you think you can trust what I mean by trying to win favor and get information?"

Fu Jia's words made Concubine Rou blush suddenly, "Aunt Fu Jia, I know that what I have done now is not enough. There is a long time to come, I..."

Fujia was impatient to hear her repeatedly express her loyalty without substance, so she interrupted in a deep voice, "I know that you and Li Shuren have a deep sisterly relationship.

Ever since Li Shu Ren was sent to the cold palace, you have asked the guards to bring her food and valuables every month.

The Queen Mother didn't say much, which is already a kindness to you, you should be grateful."

Concubine Rou stared in amazement, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart, causing her back to break out in cold sweat.

Concubine Rou thought she had done things very covertly by asking the guards in the cold palace to pay for it all and secretly send gifts to Concubine Li every month. However, she didn't expect that someone had seen through her behind the scenes.

Yes, if Bao Yuan had not been attracted by Li Shuren's beauty and was willing to pass things between the sisters, Li Shuren would have starved to death in the cold palace long ago.

This was a serious crime, and Concubine Rou never told anyone else about it.

But now, it has become a handle in the hands of the Queen Mother. Concubine Rou wanted to cry but had no tears. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her body was swaying like a willow tree in the wind.

Fu Jia pulled the hood on his head closer, and without giving Concubine Rou any time to breathe, he continued, "Li Shuren dared to secretly escape from the cold palace today and openly threatened the Queen Mother in the palace.

Even if she becomes mute or crazy in the future, I'm afraid her anger will remain and her evil thoughts will be hard to eliminate.

Lady Rou, you should know that the Queen Mother is not someone who likes to leave trouble for herself."

Concubine Rou was speechless. She knew that she was powerless to save the situation, so she could only collapse to the ground, covering her face with a handkerchief and sobbing.

Fujia's eyes were dark, and his voice was as slow and deep as the sound of a drum in the setting sun, "In a few days, the Queen Mother will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and everyone will go to the Cining Palace to celebrate.

By then, the Queen Mother will take care of everything, and you just need to take the opportunity to go to the cold palace to see Li Shuren again.

As for what you will choose at that time, life or death, you must think carefully about it. "

After dinner, Ruyi felt a little chest tightness, so she simply moved a rattan chair and sat in the yard to watch the moon and appreciate the osmanthus flowers.

There were many osmanthus vases in the Yiku Palace, and the whole palace was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and Ruyi did not want to constrain the people in the palace, so she sent them back early to rest and have fun.

In the huge Yikun Palace, only a few palace servants were left.

Although there are few people, Yikun Palace does not seem deserted.

Jingshu pestered Liuying to make many mooncakes of different colors. Chunchan skillfully placed the mooncakes on a full table. Sanbao asked for a lot of osmanthus wine from the imperial kitchen.

Bathed in moonlight, Ruyi sat at the top, watching the people below eating, drinking and playing, with a faint smile on her face.

"Rong Pei, stop tending to the osmanthus flowers and go have something to eat with them."

Rong Pei put down the scissors in her hand, but did not leave obediently. Instead, she poured a cup of hot tea and placed it next to Ruyi.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and everyone is relaxed. But the queen is pregnant with the dragon fetus, so we have to keep one person alert."

Ruyi smiled and raised her hand, "You have served me for so many years, either standing or kneeling, and I have never seen you sit down to rest.

There aren't so many rules in Yikun Palace today. Everyone else is relaxed, so you don't have to be so tense all the time.

Come, sit next to me, and enjoy the moon and Mid-Autumn Festival with me."

Rong Pei refused for a long time, but finally couldn't resist Ruyi, so she moved a small stool and sat at Ruyi's feet.

Rong Pei was about to massage Ruyi's legs, but Ruyi stuffed a cup of hot tea in her mouth, "There is no master and servant today, and you don't have to work all the time. Just sit here and let's talk."

Rong Pei held the tea in both hands, but her eyes never left Ruyi. This look made Ruyi vaguely recall her past life.

It seemed like the same scene when she was leaving in her previous life.

At that time, the emperor went to Mulan Autumn Hunt and was not in the palace.

But at that time, Ruyi was suffering from tuberculosis and didn't have much time left. There was nothing around her except Rong Pei and the dead green plum.

Ruyi still remembered that the emperor came to see her before he left and said that he would return the queen's seal to her.

How could Ruyi not know that this was a way out offered by the emperor and a concession she made?

But at that time, Ruyi no longer cared about those things that she had cherished so much in her youth. She felt relieved but also disappointed.

But now, after letting go of her obsession and love, Ruyi is still the queen, her children are all there, and her relatives, friends and loyal servants are all living happily and fully.

Ruyi reached out her hand, gently picked a small osmanthus flower from the vase beside her, and sniffed it at the tip of her nose.

This refreshing and leisurely smell reminded Ruyi that this was not a dream.

Rong Pei didn't know what Ruyi was thinking, but when she saw her smelling the sweet-scented osmanthus, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Madam, do you find this sweet-scented osmanthus familiar when you smell it?

These are not the ones grown in the ordinary greenhouses and imperial gardens, but were specially picked by me in the Yanxi Palace."

A hint of surprise flashed across Ruyi's eyes, "Is it the Golden Ball Nine Dragons Osmanthus?"

Rong Pei nodded, "That's right. I remember that this was transplanted to the Yanxi Palace by the Emperor when the Queen gave birth to the Fourth Prince.

Concubine Yu is thinking of you and has taken good care of this sweet-scented osmanthus tree."

Ruyi smiled and stroked the osmanthus flowers in her hand, "Hai Lan has been accompanying the emperor to Mulan Paddock for such a long time.

Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a festival of family reunion, but now that you mention it like this, I miss her a little bit."

"What's the difficulty? The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. The Emperor said early in the morning that he would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at Mulan Paddock before returning.

By this calculation, it will be at most half a month before the emperor returns to the palace, and then Your Majesty will be able to meet Imperial Concubine Yu again."

The date Rong Pei mentioned was set by the emperor early in the morning.

But Ruyi didn't think so. She put on an unfathomable smile and said without any context, "Maybe, it won't take even half a month..."
