Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

After looking deeply at the last piece of Yongsheng's clothes disappearing around the corner, Niuhulu came back to her senses and reached out to touch the burning sensation on her cheek.

It was not until a breeze blew across her face that Niuhulu's aroused love slowly dissipated in the wind.

"Fujin, you spent the whole afternoon stewing the licorice chicken soup for the prince. Would you like to send it to him now?"

Niuhulu pondered for a moment, shook her head, and smiled gently, "The prince must be tired, so we should not bother him anymore. You should share the soup."

Niuhulu did not suspect anything and continued to take the tonic that Yongsheng found for her, but her health became worse and worse.

During this period, she also suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine.

In order to reassure Niuhulu, Yongcheng personally invited the imperial physician Xi from the palace to take Niuhulu's pulse.

Doctor Xi said that Niuhulu felt weak after taking the tonic because her physical condition was too poor in the past.

But as long as you persist, everything will be solved once Niuhulu sees your pregnancy pulse.

With Yongsheng's careful care and concern, Niuhulu was immersed in the land of gentleness and couldn't extricate herself.

Soon, she stopped worrying about her physical discomfort and instead served Yongsheng even more attentively, hoping to bear him a legitimate son as soon as possible.

On a warm afternoon, the Emperor was still reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace when he suddenly received an urgent report from outside the palace saying that Imperial Concubine Chun had passed away.

After not seeing her for a long time, the emperor's memory of Su Lujun's appearance has become vague.

The emperor considered himself a sentimental man and did not want to treat Su Lujun badly after her death, so he posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort on her.

In addition, the emperor also specially appointed Yong Zhang as Prince of Xun, and asked him to handle Su Lujun's funeral on the spot and then move the coffin into the concubine's tomb.

Among the adult princes, there is already one prince and two dukes.

The emperor did not want to favor one over the other and arouse suspicion among the people, so he conferred the title of Prince Ding on Yonghuang, who had grown up and established his own government, and the title of Prince Rong on Yongqi.

The other princes who were not yet adults, such as Yongrong, Yongrui and Yongjing, were conferred the title of Beile.

Only Yongxuan, the son born to Concubine Yao, was only given the title of Beizi for the time being because he was too young.

The affairs of the harem are complicated. Ruyi stays at home all day long and is unwilling to step out of Yikun Palace. Hailan is too busy to handle it all by herself.

Among the four concubines, Gao Xiyue ranks first in terms of seniority and offspring.

Even though the emperor favored Wei Yanwan, he was not too foolish after all. He finally followed the will of heaven and promoted Gao Xiyue to Concubine Hui.

As for Concubine Yao, she was not even qualified for the position of concubine, so the emperor naturally excluded her first.

As soon as the news came out, although Concubine Yao was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but become jealous to the point of going crazy.

"She is a sickly girl, obviously old and ugly, why does the emperor want to give her such a generous title?

She is a noble concubine, and her son is a prince. But I am only a concubine, and even Yongxuan is only a low-ranking Beizi.

Is she really so lucky that she got everything without fighting or competing? And I tried so hard to please the emperor, but it was not as good as hers?"

Concubine Yao couldn't figure it out, and she tore the brocade on the table like crazy.

The cloth was torn into pieces, making a pleasant tearing sound, which made Concubine Yao calm down a little.

With a gloomy face, she clutched the torn cloth strips that were scattered all over the table and ordered coldly, "Cai En, Yong Xuan is feeling a little unwell, go get Doctor Xi."

Yongxuan was naturally fine. But when Doctor Xi came out of Jingyang Palace, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Doctor Xi was quite old, with a gray beard. He was an old doctor with no great ambitions, who only wanted to live a life of idleness and wait for death in the Imperial Hospital.

If Yongsheng had not held his family under control, he would not have to obey their orders in everything.

But one wrong step leads to another, and now there is no turning back.

Doctor Xi pinched the small packet of medicine powder in his sleeve, sighed, and walked towards the Imperial Hospital with his back hunched.

However, more than half a month had passed, and Imperial Physician Xi diligently added ingredients to Gao Xiyue's medicine every day, but there was still no movement in Xianfu Palace.

Gao Xiyue even called Hailan, Chen Wanyin and Yihuan to play mahjong or listen to opera troupes singing together all day long.

Life is becoming more enjoyable, and I am becoming more energetic and my complexion is becoming rosy.

Concubine Yao saw this and was extremely puzzled.

If Doctor Xi wasn't an old man, he would have knelt before her in tears and swore an oath.

She even suspected that Doctor Xi had been bribed by someone long ago and was deliberately pretending to obey orders.

Of course, Concubine Yao would never know that Gao Xiyue had actually stopped taking her medicine a long time ago, and her body had been nursed back to extremely good health by Jiang Yubin.

Since she never takes medicine, there is naturally no possibility of poisoning.

Concubine Yao was not sure whether Gao Xiyue had discovered that someone had poisoned her medicine, and in a moment of excitement, she even wanted to send some poisonous flowers or cloth to her.

Fortunately, Cai En stopped him and said, "Master, the medicine is fine. Pour it into the soil and it will disappear in a moment.

But these flowers and cloth are not easy to destroy. If Concubine Hui really finds out, wouldn't you be handing over the evidence for nothing?"

Yaopin was startled, and came to her senses with a shudder, "You are right, I was confused.

Ever since I had Yongxuan, I have always been impatient in doing things. Alas, I don’t know what’s going on…”

Cai En comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Master. I've heard from others that this is normal for women who are pregnant and giving birth.

In my opinion, even if you get rid of Concubine Hui, it won't be of much use to you now. After all, without Concubine Hui, you still have Concubine Shu, Concubine Ying and Concubine Ling.

They are all very troublesome. It would be very difficult for the master to get rid of them one by one."

"What should I do? Am I just going to sit there and wait for death? The Sixth Master is still waiting for me..."

Concubine Yao slumped down in dejection, with a worried look on her face.

Cai En didn't want to see her master so depressed, so she encouraged him in a deep voice, "Master, instead of acting rashly and alerting the enemy, it's better to stop here and wait and see what happens.

In the past, didn’t the master always teach his servants to be down-to-earth and move forward in everything?

Now that Imperial Concubine Hui has been promoted, the position of imperial concubine has become vacant, which is exactly the opportunity for the master.

My dear, you are now favored by the Emperor, and you have the twelfth prince. Since ancient times, loving fathers have always loved their youngest sons. With the twelfth prince here, the Emperor will always treat you differently from others.

It would be better for the master to first find a way to be promoted to the position of concubine, and then take advantage of the emperor's favor and work her way up to the top of the concubines step by step.

Then when Concubine Hui is gone, the master will naturally become the next Concubine..."

The more Concubine Yao thought about it, the more it made sense. She clenched her fists, feeling the pain in her palms, and a smile gradually spread across her lips.
