Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

As Princess Duanshu cried out in pain, a pool of bright red spread out and a blood-red flower bloomed under her skirt.

Although Yonghuang had seen many bloody scenes in the past few days, he was still a little panicked when he saw the scene of Princess Duanshu suspected of having a miscarriage.

Yonghuang knelt on one knee in front of Princess Duanshu and kept asking her useless and pale questions like "What happened?" and "Is it serious?"

But at this moment, Princess Duanshu didn't have the energy to answer him.

Just when Yonghuang was at a loss, Ling Yunche rushed up.

He saw that Princess Duanshu had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and her cries of pain were gradually getting weaker. It was obvious that she was about to faint from the pain.

Ling Yunche hurriedly said to Yonghuang, "Big Brother, the princess might have a miscarriage. We need to move her back to the barracks as soon as possible and find a military doctor to check and treat her."

"Okay... move..."

Although Yonghuang agreed readily, he wanted to help Princess Duanshu up first, but he was afraid that if he moved her easily, it would cause secondary harm to her and the baby in her belly.

Ling Yunche knew he couldn't be relied upon just by looking at his expression, but human life was at stake and there was no time to lose. He said helplessly, "Big Brother, can I borrow your cloak?"

Yonghuang didn't know what Ling Yunche was going to do, but he obediently took off his cloak and handed it to Ling Yunche.

"Princess, there are only men in the barracks. The situation is urgent. I am sorry for the offense."

Princess Duanshu was in so much pain that she was almost losing her mind.

She couldn't hear what the man was saying, but she unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Save...save me...my child..."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will take you home right away."

After saying that, Ling Yunche took the cloak and wrapped it around Princess Duanshu's body, then covered her face with the hood, and then held her horizontally in his arms.

The soldiers behind him had already brought the horses. Ling Yunche and the eldest princess mounted the horses and rushed towards the military camp.

Before the urgent news from the frontier reached the capital, something happened in the Cining Palace.

The Tenth Prince had a fever for more than ten days in a row. During this time, Imperial Physician Qi temporarily suppressed the heat and poison in the Tenth Prince's body through acupuncture, which showed signs of improvement.

But everything is just a flash in the pan.

But one night, the Tenth Prince suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't go away, and finally he stopped breathing one morning with his whole body burning.

When the emperor heard this, he became unsteady on his feet and almost fell on his way to the Cining Palace.

"Li Yu, what's going on? Hasn't the Tenth Prince always been taken care of by the Empress Dowager?

Even if the Empress Dowager is ill and unable to take care of her, there is no shortage of manpower and supplies in the Cining Palace. How could the Tenth Prince..."

Li Yu was also extremely confused, and seeing his expression, the emperor did not expect Li Yu to be able to give any answer.

When the emperor stepped into the Cining Palace, he saw Fujia kneeling in front of a small bulging white cloth, sobbing softly.

Even though Fujia gave a lot of reasons and good words on behalf of the Queen Mother, the death of the Tenth Prince still became an insurmountable gap between the mother and son.

The emperor directly issued an edict, ordering the Empress Dowager to recuperate in the Cining Palace from now on and not to interfere in the affairs of the harem. No concubines or princes were allowed to come to the Cining Palace again.

Even Wei Yanwan, who had been serving medicine in the Cining Palace, was angered. She was scolded by the emperor in front of many servants and driven out of the Cining Palace.

Faced with such a result, how could the Queen Mother give up?

She believed that the emperor did not sympathize with her illness and was taking the opportunity to weaken her power in the harem, so she sent wave after wave of people to ask the emperor to come and see her.

But this time, the emperor was too lazy to even make excuses for being busy with government affairs, and directly asked Li Yu to pass on the message.

He said frankly that seizing power was a small matter. If the empress dowager continued to make trouble, he would directly announce to the public that the empress dowager was seriously ill and close the Cining Palace.

No matter how much the ministers of the previous dynasty advised, I don't think they would dare to rush into the emperor's harem to find out the truth.

The Queen Mother first asked Fujia to go to Yikun Palace to find Ruyi, and use filial piety to suppress her, and asked Ruyi to plead for mercy.

Then he sent Fujia to deliver a letter to Wei Yanwan, asking her to help think of a way to get the emperor to go to the Cining Palace again, no matter what.

Wei Yanwan was reluctant at first.

Anyone can see that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have completely fallen out. At this point, it would not be wise to turn to the Queen Mother.

But when Wei Yanwan heard that Ruyi was also going, after much deliberation, Wei Yanwan chose a time and stopped Ruyi on her way to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. I see Aunt Rong Pei carrying a food box. Is she going to the Yangxin Palace to deliver food to the Emperor?"

Ruyi saw through her thoughts at a glance, "The Emperor has been reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace for days and has not come to the harem for a long time.

I am here to visit you on the orders of the Empress Dowager. Is Concubine Ling going to the Yangxin Palace as well?"

"I am a humble servant, and it is my duty to serve the emperor and the queen at meals. Please do not despise my vulgarity, Queen."

Wei Yanwan lowered her posture very low, revealing a section of her snow-white neck between her rose-pink collar, which was very pitiful.

Ruyi did not refuse, but only gave her a meaningful look, "Lingpin, you are so thoughtful. If so, then come with me."

The two walked together on the long street. Although Wei Yanwan always walked half a step behind Ruyi, her eyes never left her.

Ruyi had already keenly noticed Wei Yanwan's gaze.

She could guess what Wei Yanwan was struggling with, so she walked slowly and gave Wei Yanwan enough time to think.

In the end, Wei Yanwan still couldn't keep her composure and asked in a low voice, "Empress, tell me, was the death of the Tenth Prince a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

Ruyi did not stop, but just sighed, "I guess it must be a man-made disaster.

However, whether it was caused by the Empress Dowager or someone else, I think Concubine Ling would know it better than me.

After all, I have never set foot in the Cining Palace since the assassination of the Queen Mother. But Lingpin goes to serve the Queen Mother almost every day.

The eunuchs and other servants in the Cining Palace must have been very familiar with Lingpin and obeyed her orders. "

Wei Yanwan smiled apologetically, "Your Majesty, you are joking. The servants in the Cining Palace are all old people that the Empress Dowager has used to serve. How could they easily obey the orders of a mere concubine like me?

Besides, the Tenth Prince is just a baby. Since I want to please the Queen Mother, why should I attack him?"

Ruyi remained calm, and the look in her eyes was not disturbed by Wei Yanwan's explanation, "But the Tenth Prince is Concubine Cheng's child.

Only you know whether your hatred for Concubine Cheng disappeared with her death, or whether it brought disaster to the Tenth Prince.

In other words, Lingpin, you deliberately approached the Queen Mother, could it be that you did it to persecute the Tenth Prince?"
