Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

In the Cining Palace, the low sobs of women slowly rang out, like ghosts and spirits, crying and complaining.

But in a flash, the sound became louder and louder, continuous and long, like a soul-transmitting bell, as if it was about to leave the Forbidden City on the wind.

The moment the Empress Dowager's peaceful and tranquil face was covered with white cloth, the Emperor felt as if a space in his heart had suddenly become empty.

Even he himself could not tell whether it was a mourning for the Queen Mother or his longing for his mother since childhood.

It turns out that even if there is a rift between mother and son, no matter how weak the affection is, it will still grow freely when it rains, just like the flowers and plants with strong vitality in the cracks.

After leaving the Cining Palace, the emperor still looked a little dazed.

He stumbled, and Ruyi quickly supported him, saying distressedly, "Your Majesty, I will help you go back to the Yangxin Palace to rest."

The emperor did not refuse. Like a little animal that suddenly lost its mother, he huddled closely with Ruyi.

The two of them snuggled together under the umbrella, absorbing every bit of precious warmth.

"Ruyi, the Empress Dowager has passed away. It is only now that I understand what it means to want to take care of your parents but they are no longer around.

You said that if I had been a little softer about Hengchui back then, I would have taken Hengchui in regardless of the consequences and not let her endure the pain of remarrying the enemy who killed her husband.

Can the Empress Dowager feel more relieved, in a good mood, and spend more time with me?"

Looking at the bright and vigorous young man himself, many fine lines suddenly appeared between the corners of his eyes and forehead, and he suddenly looked decadent and old.

There was a mixture of bitterness and sadness in Ruyi's eyes, but she felt a secret sneer in her heart and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The emperor did feel remorse towards the empress dowager, but he was more afraid that he was just pretending to be filial to the world.

How can a person who is cold-hearted by nature repent because of the separation of life and death?

This is true for the emperor and Ruyi as well.

Although the Empress Dowager passed away, Ruyi did not feel much joy in her heart.

But I don’t know if there will be any younger women from the Niuhuru clan who will seek revenge on the empress dowager in the future.

Revenge will never end.

In the end, Ruyi gave up her previous life's tolerance and concessions to the Queen Mother, repaying evil with kindness, and no longer tried to influence everything with love, believing that time will reveal a person's true character.

In the end, I became an imperfect person, judged by my heart rather than my actions.

I recall the Queen Mother's deliberate obstruction during the late Emperor's mourning period. During the Empress's enthronement, the Queen Mother's strenuous obstruction. Now, it seems like a passing cloud, and it is difficult to find any trace of it.

Ruyi took a deep look at the emperor beside her. His profile was still as delicate and upright as if carved by a knife.

If she could do it again, Ruyi would still choose to do so.

After all, if you miss this opportunity to use the opponent's force without getting your hands dirty, you don't know when the next time will be.

If she didn't get rid of the Queen Mother first, how would she proceed to the next step?

The heavy rain seemed to be even heavier, and even the umbrella was making a dull sound from the continuous beating of raindrops.

The Forbidden City under the scorching sun on a sunny day is bright, vast, magnificent and glorious.

But after being wetted by the rain, it instead took on a somewhat eerie and terrifying atmosphere, as if it were another world, making people feel unfamiliar.

The layers of rain splashing on the red wall that once stood majestically are like blood that can never be washed away, which is shocking.

Li Yu had foresight and had already arranged for a spacious sedan chair to be used to escort the emperor back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Ruyi did not return to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with the Emperor on the grounds that the two eldest princesses were in even greater grief and that she had to stay to take care of the Empress Dowager's funeral.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lowered, and after watching the bright yellow light finally disappear in the rain, Rong Pei quietly stepped forward and respectfully reported.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Qi asked Sanbao to pass on some news. He is old and has been feeling increasingly unwell lately. He plans to resign and return home in the near future."

Seeing Ruyi silent, Rong Pei continued, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Qi knows too much about us.

The most important thing is that this matter involves the Queen Mother. I think it is better to put an end to it once and for all so that I can feel at ease. "

Ruyi was not unmoved by Rong Pei's suggestion. Dead people are the safest.

But in the end, Ruyi still sighed, "Forget it, I can't do such a thing as getting rid of the donkey after it has done its work.

I heard that Doctor Qi has an only grandson who has also been learning medicine since he was young. If he is willing to join the Imperial Hospital, he will have countless prospects and benefits in the future. "

Rong Pei stepped back in response.

As she stroked the jade ring on her finger, the dark color in Ruyi's eyes blurred.

By using the only grandson of Imperial Physician Qi as a hostage, Imperial Physician Qi can be allowed to retire and return home with peace of mind, and it can also lay a guarantee for the future of Yongji, Jingshu and Yongjing.

At the same time, keeping Doctor Qi alive meant keeping the secret that the Queen Mother died of an illness induced by poisonous mushrooms.

He could also restrain Wei Yanwan at the same time to ensure that she would always be on the same side as him.

After all, kindness is just her last bottom line, and Ruyi is still a scheming person.

Three days later, the emperor finally eased his grief and issued an edict to posthumously title the empress dowager "Empress Xiaoshengcixuankanghuidunhejingtianguangshengxian", known in history as "Empress Xiaoshengxian".

He also ordered that the coffin of Empress Xiaoshengxian be buried in the underground palace of Taidong Mausoleum one month later.

During this period, the emperor, in order to demonstrate his benevolence and filial piety and his remembrance of the empress dowager, issued an edict to build a golden hair tower to hold the empress dowager's imperial hair.

The emperor ordered the Imperial Household Department to take charge of this matter, and the ministers Fu Longan and Heshen assisted in supervising the work.

At the end of March, a tall and exquisite Golden Hair Tower was finally completed using disc welding technology combined with hammer engraving skills.

The style of this tower was designed by the emperor himself. The patterns are extremely exquisite and gorgeous, and the construction is also extremely luxurious. It used more than 3,000 taels of gold, which is jaw-dropping.

Even Gao Xiyue, who always liked luxury, was amazed after seeing it.

In private, she also expressed her admiration to Hai Lan and Su Lujun, sneering at the emperor's filial piety towards the empress dowager, which was so bright and shining that he seemed afraid that no one could see it.

After the Golden Hair Pagoda Master consecrated and chanted sutras for it, it was finally placed in the East Buddhist Hall of the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived during her lifetime.

The emperor originally planned to follow the empress dowager's last wish and let Ling Yunche and Hengchu get married.

He also promised that even if Ling Yunche was recruited as a royal consort, as long as he treated Hengchu well, he would still retain his military power and the position of general of national defense.

This action was considered to give Ling Yunche enough trust and respect.

But Ling Yunche just knelt in the rain and refused to defend himself.

In the end, Hengchui softened her heart and could not bear it any longer, so she had a long talk with the emperor and expressed her determination not to marry again.

The emperor then let Ling Yunche go and sent him to guard the border far away, forbidding him to get in the way again.

Hengchu was alone at a young age, and the emperor felt guilty and distressed about her. Fortunately, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, Hengchu became more open-minded.
