Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"Jinzhong, there are not many people in this palace who truly love me. You are one, and Ling Yunche is one too.

Ling Yunche and I have an old friendship, and I really can't bear to see him suffer such unfair treatment despite having made such contributions.

Jinzhong, can you understand me? "

Perhaps because she was afraid that Jinzhong would guess something, Wei Yanwan did not forget to explain one more sentence with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Wei Yanwan was willing to find such a poor excuse to lie to him, which was a great effort. Jinzhong was already satisfied and did not want to expose Wei Yanwan.

He bent his body, hiding his emotions under the brim of his hat, lowered his head and smiled faintly, "Your master has a kind heart, I know that.

It's just that the Queen Mother is putting pressure on me, and I'm not sure how long I can hold out. If anything happens... I still have to be prepared."

A strange light appeared in Wei Yanwan's eyes and she glanced at the food box in Xing'er's hand.

The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I won't let you be embarrassed between the Queen Mother and the Emperor for too long."

The scent of agarwood permeated the main hall of Yikun Palace, lingering and lasting for a long time.

Amidst the faint fragrance, Ruyi was sitting at the table, embroidering a scroll stitch by stitch.

Liuying brought some wolfberry tea that could improve eyesight and nourish the mind, gently placed it on the table, and then stood by, watching Ruyi embroidering seriously.

After finishing a section of embroidery, Ruyi put down her needlework and took a sip of tea. Liuying spoke up, "My dear, Concubine Ling has gone to deliver food to the one in the Cining Palace again."

Ever since the Emperor tacitly agreed to let Wei Yanwan pass on the message to the Cining Palace, she would go to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager every day without fail.

Sometimes she would chat with the Empress Dowager, giving her advice and comforting her, and sometimes she would convey the Emperor's intentions in a roundabout way.

However, most of the time, Wei Yanwan just cooked some meals and served them to the empress dowager.

This is to prevent a hunger strike from happening in the Cining Palace, which would cause the emperor to lose face.

Ruyi's face was calm, but her tone was quite meaningful, "Lingpin's craftsmanship is good, and she is willing to spend time and effort to find tricks. What good things did she make today?"

Liuying smiled and replied, "The Concubine Ling prepared fatty chicken, cloud slice tofu, and dried shrimp and smoked cabbage for the Queen Mother today.

There is also a dish of mushroom and lamb tripe soup, which is the Queen Mother’s favorite recently and she eats it every day.”

Mushrooms?

This word instantly brought back Ruyi's memories.

In the previous life, Wei Yanwan replaced the fragrant mushrooms with poisonous and hallucinogenic poisonous mushrooms in Yongji's meals, which made Yongji addicted and eventually caused him constant troubles.

Now, Wei Yanwan might have started using this poisonous mushroom again.

Some time ago, the palace released a group of palace maids who had reached old age or did not want to continue to suffer in the palace and wanted to leave the palace and return home.

At that time, Chunchan's aunt happened to die from eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake.

Although Chunchan in her previous life followed Wei Yanwan, she committed many evil deeds as an accomplice.

But during the years she worked in Yikun Palace in this life, she was quite loyal and capable.

Thinking of this, Ruyi simply granted her mercy, rewarded her with a lot of money, and allowed her to go home to arrange the funeral for her aunt. Then she let her leave the palace.

Chunchan knew that Rongpei and Liuying, two of Ruyi's personal maids, had no intention of leaving the palace and getting married.

If she continued to stay in Yikun Palace, she would be able to foresee the end of her days and there would be no possibility of moving forward.

In addition, Chunchan is getting older, and now even her aunt, the only person who could suppress her, is gone. She is no longer the poor woman who was forced to sell herself into the palace.

With no elders above her and money in her hands, Chunchan naturally yearns for a comfortable life outside the palace rather than wasting her time in the palace.

Because she had worked for Ruyi before, she had a lot of money, and with the generous reward from Ruyi, Chunchan lived a very good life after leaving the palace.

Not only did he conduct his aunt's funeral in a dignified manner, but he also earned a reputation for being filial.

He also bought a two-story house in the capital and hired a few servants, so he lived a good life with servants at his command.

By associating the two, it is not difficult to guess that the mushrooms in Wei Yanwan's hand were most likely obtained from Chunchan.

Ruyi's eyes gradually became dark and gloomy, and she sneered knowingly.

No wonder the Queen Mother's mood has become more and more erratic recently. Not only has she acted more radically than before, she has also often made extreme and crazy remarks.

It turned out that I had fallen into someone else's trap.

It seems that something has happened to Ling Yunche, and Wei Yanwan can no longer sit still.

"It's a good thing that Lingpin is filial. We don't need to pay too much attention to it." Ruyi's eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow that covered the playfulness in her eyes.

Then he thought for a while and added, "All medicines are poisonous, and the effect of food supplements is naturally far better than that of medicine supplements.

Send a message to Qi Ru, telling him to do his job well and not to do anything unnecessary."

Rong Pei was the one who could best discern the deep meaning behind Ruyi's words, and nodded with a smile, "Imperial Doctor Qi naturally understands.

You have been embroidering this "Early Spring in the Mountains" on and off for such a long time, and it is finally about to be completed."

Ruyi's soft fingertips gently stroked the bright silk threads on the embroidery frame, "You are right.

This painting is an excellent work by Wang Yuanqi. I like his style of writing that is neither too sweet nor too astringent, light yet thick, solid yet clear.

However, this painting is not Wang Yuanqi's original work, but a copy by Concubine Wan, and was given to me for my enjoyment."

Liuying doesn't know how to paint, but she understands Ruyi's thoughts, "Empress Wan likes painting the most.

Originally, she only painted for the Emperor, but now she knows that the Empress likes embroidery, and because it is difficult to borrow paintings, she always embroiders in a hurry and not to her heart's content, so she specially copied this painting and presented it to the Empress."

Rong Pei also echoed, "I heard that since Concubine Wan copied this work, her interest has been aroused, and now she has started to copy the works of other masters.

The last time I saw her coming out of Ruyi Pavilion, she had borrowed a new painting and was in a very good mood.

He looks much more energetic than before, and even his complexion is much rosier.

That was the second time I saw Concubine Wan so happy after she raised the Fourth Princess."

Ruyi fiddled with the oriental pearl pendant under her ear and spoke softly, showing the grace of a queen mother, "Wanpin is indeed a thoughtful person.

Now that she is no longer obsessed with hiding in the house and painting the emperor day after day, she can focus more on the Fourth Princess and her own hobbies. It is natural that her life is going smoothly.

"I rule over the six palaces in the hope that everyone can live in harmony and love themselves. Don't be so narrow-minded as to be trapped in the endless struggle for favor and love."

The emperor's temper is becoming increasingly cold, and the concubines in the harem can feel it the most.

Now the atmosphere in the palace is gradually changing.

Just look at how Concubine Wan, who has always admired the emperor deeply, has gradually lost interest in him, and you can get a glimpse of this.

Ling Yunche was thrown into prison by the emperor and awaited his fate.

Although there was no trial, it still made the officials who were fighting outside feel disheartened.

Yonghuang felt extremely guilty, because this method of winning in danger was originally planned by him and Ling Yunche at the suggestion of Ruyi.

Seeing his comrades who had fought alongside him being treated so unfairly, Yonghuang's will inevitably became much depressed.
