Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Yongqi thought of Yonghuang's advice to him when he was in trouble with his legitimate son, so he took the initiative to find him.

The two brothers talked about the border wars and the scenery outside the Great Wall, and then they rode their horses in the horse farm. Yonghuang's originally depressed mood was relieved a lot.

Yongqi took the initiative to say that he would go and talk to the Empress Dowager and ask Ruyi to help plead and persuade. Yonghuang was relieved and moved by what he heard.

As for persuading the emperor, Ruyi would do it even if Yongqi didn't ask her to do so.

But the most she could do was to save Ling Yunche's life from worry for the time being and to reduce the suffering in prison.

However, such days did not last long. Soon news came from outside the palace that Princess Duanshu Hengchu had woken up.

Heng Chu had just rested in the mansion for half a day when he heard that the empress dowager intended to deal with Ling Yunche and the emperor had already put him in jail, awaiting punishment.

Hengchui did not care that her body had not yet recovered, and insisted on going to the palace to meet the emperor and the empress dowager.

Hengti couldn't persuade her, so he had to accompany her to hand over the sign to the palace.

When the emperor heard that Hengchui was going to the palace to seek an audience, he was overjoyed and naturally had no objection to agreeing.

He specially asked Li Yu to go and pick her up in person with a soft and luxurious sedan chair, and made an exception and allowed Hengchu to go directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Cining Palace without getting off the sedan chair in the palace.

Such a great favor, however, seemed ironic to Hengchui like trying to close the fold after the sheep have been bolted.

No matter how much you mock yourself in your heart, you still have to do all the work you need to do.

After all, this is the Forbidden City with its strict palace rules, not the wild grassland where she has lived for many years.

Hengti personally helped Hengchui into the Yangxin Palace.

After Dawachi's death, the emperor re-established a puppet Khan in the Dzungar tribe.

The Khan obeyed the emperor's order, wrote a letter of divorce, and restored Hengchu's freedom.

So at this time, Hengchui put on the Manchu women's dress again.

She did not dress up to meet the emperor.

She just had her hair in a simple bun, adorned with some ordinary beads.

Paired with a low-key and steady honey-brown cheongsam with a vine-bead pattern, Hengchu's thin, bloodless face was filled with an unconcealable bitterness.

Seeing with his own eyes his once bright and delicate sister being tortured into her current withered state, the emperor felt his heart aching.

"Hengchu, we haven't seen each other for many years, so there's no need to greet each other..."

The emperor quickly stepped forward and tried to support Hengchui's swaying body, but Hengchui just frowned slightly and dodged.

The emperor withdrew his arms slightly embarrassedly, and then heard Hengchu's weak voice slowly ringing out, "First the king and the subject, then the brother and sister.

Although Hengchu has been married far away for many years, she has never forgotten the rules of the court. Please accept Hengchu’s greeting, Your Majesty.”

Hengchu knelt down with difficulty, and when he stood up after performing the ceremony, his forehead was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavily.

The emperor tried to ease the brother-sister relationship with Hengchu and took out a golden katydid cage from his side, "Hengchu, do you still remember this?

This was given to me by you before you got married. It was your favorite golden katydid cage.

I have found the most precious and brave katydid and put it in there. When you recover, let's fight another katydid together, how about that? "

Hengchui understood the emperor's gesture of goodwill, but at this moment, she felt disgusted even to look at him for one more moment.

If it weren't for him, why would I have to endure the humiliation, marry the enemy who killed my husband, be demoted from wife to concubine, and even want to commit suicide but the emperor would not allow it.

Why should she be forced by that fat and rude man, Dawachi, to the point of getting pregnant?

Now, the child is gone, and she has returned to the Forbidden City, scarred and having gone through countless hardships.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to learn that the Emperor and the Queen Mother were going to severely punish his savior.

Hengchui just felt that his life over the years had been ridiculous and pathetic.

"The emperor is very busy, Hengchu dare not delay. As a caged person, Hengchu has long been unwilling to play with this caged insect.

The reason for entering the palace this time was, firstly, to visit the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and secondly, to ask for mercy for his savior.

Lord Ling's arrow was indeed fierce, but if not, how could Dawachi die and how could Hengchu be saved?

The Empress Dowager is worried about her illness. Hengchu and others will leave the Yangxin Palace and go to the Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty does not need to worry about that.

Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of Hengchu's contributions to the Qing Dynasty, please do not embarrass Lord Ling."

The emperor feels extremely indebted to Hengchu, and now that Hengchu has rarely spoken, let alone forgiving Ling Yunche, even if she makes other excessive requests, the emperor might agree.

In order to comfort Hengchui for her years of suffering, the emperor said magnanimously, "Since this is your request, I will naturally satisfy it.

As long as the Empress Dowager has no objection, I will not only release Ling Yunche, but also confer him the title of General Protector of the Nation and a reward of one thousand taels of silver.

Besides, I thought that Ling Yunche is not young anymore and has been alone all the time. It would be bad if he didn't have someone who understands him.

There happens to be a palace maid by my side, who has a gentle personality and a dignified appearance.

Her name is Mao Qian, and she is from the Sakda clan. Her father is now working in the Shangsi Courtyard, and her family background is not bad, so she is worthy of Ling Yunche.

I will issue an edict in a few days to grant her a marriage with Ling Yunche to comfort Ling Yunche for his grievances these days. What do you think?"

"Hengchui does not understand the affairs of state, so the emperor has the final say. Hengchui still has to fulfill his filial duty to the Empress Dowager, so I will take my leave now."

When talking about official positions and rewards, Hengchui's expression remained calm. Only when she talked about the marriage, her eyes dimmed for a moment.

The emperor did not notice the subtle changes in Hengchu, but Hengti, his younger sister, was keenly aware of the abnormality.

Heng Ti was secretly surprised. Could it be that Heng Chui was...

After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Hengchui shed her aloof and solemn appearance as soon as she entered the Cining Palace and threw herself beside the Empress Dowager's bedside as she did when she was younger.

The mother and daughter looked at each other in tears, with a thousand things to say but they didn't know where to start.

From the bright sunshine to the falling of night, there is still endless concern and worry between the mother and daughter.

At least Hengti said that Hengchui had not yet fully recovered and needed to continue recuperating, so the empress dowager let her return to the princess's mansion.

With Hengchu's comfort, the empress dowager's spirits improved a lot. She no longer seemed as extreme and irritable as before, and she regained her former kindness and gentleness.

No matter what Hengchu said, the Queen Mother agreed readily, as if she treated Hengchu as a precious treasure that she had lost and found again.

Having a daughter is everything. After seeing that Hengchu was safe and sound, the empress dowager's face became extremely rosy. She could even support herself and do some simple movements.

Hengti only thought that the empress dowager's worries had been completely relieved with Hengchu's safe return.

I think in a few days, the Queen Mother might be able to walk again, regain her former health, and live a long life.

After Hengchui left, Hengti stayed with the Queen Mother for a long time.

As for Hengchu's future, the Empress Dowager originally planned to let her live in the Cining Palace for a long time and keep her by her side to make up for the pain of separation between mother and daughter for many years.

But after hearing that Hengchu seemed to have some strange thoughts about Ling Yunche, the empress dowager's mind became active again.
