Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Jin Yuyan knew that what Lianxin said was true, but she just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Seeing Jin Yuyan was speechless, Hailan asked, "Since Jia Guiren has nothing to say, I think she has tacitly agreed that Lianxin is telling the truth. But I am still curious about one thing.

How did Concubine Jia, wearing a high heel, manage to dodge the attack of the poisonous snake with such agility? Is there any other reason behind this?"

Jin Yuyan frowned, then said pitifully, "It was just my luck, there is no other reason. Maybe... maybe it was the child in my belly that saved my life..."

Hailan keenly caught the loophole in Jin Yuyan's words, "But why do I feel that Concubine Jia seems to have been prepared for this?

Everyone in the palace knew that Shuangxi in Huipin's palace was the best at playing with snakes. Jia Guiren was close to Huipin, so it was not difficult for her to get one or two snakes from Huipin.

Could it be that Concubine Jia had stained her clothes with tuberose, and then deliberately passed the scent to Concubine Yi through physical contact, just to get rid of the child in Concubine Yi's belly?"

Jin Yuyan's eyes were red with anger as she said, "Noble Lady Hai, please stop slandering me like this! According to what you said, Su Lian, Shuang Xi, and even the Queen and Huipin have all become my accomplices!

You are so bold that you dare to attack the high-ranking concubines in such a random way. You are committing a crime of insubordination!"

The emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it.

Seeing that the emperor was somewhat displeased with what Hai Lan said, Ruyi hurriedly explained, "Hai Lan is just guessing, Concubine Jia, please don't get too excited.

In the final analysis, the main reason why Concubine Yi was bitten by a poisonous snake was because of the tuberose on Concubine Jia's body. Concubine Jia, I advise you to tell the truth as soon as possible and seek the emperor's forgiveness. "

After these words were spoken, Jin Yuyan had no way to defend herself.

If she said she hadn't done it, then she would be convicted of being the Queen or Huipin's doing. If she said she had done it...

Jin Yuyan glanced at the emperor, only to see that he was also staring at her sharply.

Jin Yuyan was so frightened that her whole body trembled, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and she was filled with hatred.

This matter must not affect the Empress and Huipin. Otherwise, not only will the Emperor be unhappy and will not let her go, but even Fucha and the Gao family will not let her mother's family go.

If she took all the blame, the Queen and Concubine Hui would appreciate her sacrifice and would naturally find ways to get her out.

Even if they all gave up on me, as long as I didn't die, I would always have this leverage in my hand. I would still have a chance to regain their favor and make a comeback in the future.

Thinking of this, Jin Yuyan made up her mind, "I am stupid and don't know that tuberose will attract snakes and insects.

I just happened to see the tuberose in full bloom in the greenhouse, so I sent someone to get a few pots and put them in Qixiang Palace. I guess because of this, I accidentally got the scent of tuberose on my body without knowing it. "

Jin Yuyan stroked her empty belly with a melancholy look on her face and said, "Since I entered the palace and followed the emperor, I haven't seen any children for a long time. So I really like the prince in Concubine Yi's belly.

Concubine Yi talked to Concubine Yi about the folk saying that touching a pregnant belly brings good luck. So Concubine Yi reached out and touched Concubine Yi's belly twice.

Unexpectedly, the scent of tuberose was contaminated by Concubine Yi by mistake, and the prince that I had worked so hard to get pregnant with died.

This is all my fault, I know my crime. Please Your Majesty, please consider that I also lost my unborn child..."

Qi Ru had already entered the house to continue looking after Concubine Gu Yi, but now he trotted out again in a slightly panicked manner.

He knelt on the ground and said sadly, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences, Queen Mother. Concubine Yi was poisoned and has passed away."

Ruyi covered her mouth and exclaimed, "What? Concubine Yi and her unborn child, just like that, gone?"

The Queen Mother was even more furious, "Evil woman! How dare you harm my grandson. Even if you lost your child, Concubine Yi lost two lives. How can you make up for it?"

The emperor thought for a long time.

The Empress is the Central Palace, and behind her is the Fucha clan. Behind Huipin is the important official Gao Bin, and neither of them can be easily touched.

As for Concubine Jia, she is backed by the small vassal state of Yu. If the tribute is reduced next year, I think she won't dare to say much.

The Emperor exchanged glances with the Empress Dowager and said, "The matter is basically clear now. Please let Empress Dowager make the decision."

The Queen Mother frowned and said to Jin Yuyan in great displeasure, "Lady Jia, Lady Yi's death this time was caused by you. Although I pity you for losing your child, you can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living.

I will be demoted to a concubine, and I will reflect on my mistakes every day in your Qixiang Palace. I will also copy a scroll of scriptures every day and send it to the gate of Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Yi was bitten by a poisonous snake and killed two people. She was posthumously named Concubine Yi. All funeral rites were carried out according to the position of a concubine.

As for Su Lian who was suspected of accidentally mixing snakeberry juice, and Xiao Fuzi who was incompetent and smeared paint mixed with snakeberry juice on Jingyang Palace, they should each be beaten with twenty lashes of the cane and sent to the Xinzheku as punishment.

The Empress and Huipin were unaware of this, so that's fine. As for the others, they failed to protect the master, so they will be fined one month's salary each. Emperor, do you think this is a good way to deal with it?"

The emperor did not refute. Being able to save the queen and Huipin was enough. He did not care about the fate of the others, nor did he think it was important.

"The Empress Dowager is fair and strict in her conduct. My son admires her."

"Okay, I'm tired. I'll go back first. The emperor doesn't have to be too sad. Concubine Xian is pregnant, so you should take good care of her first." After the empress dowager said this, she stood up and prepared to leave.

The emperor hurriedly said, "My son obeys your order."

Ruyi stood up and said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the Emperor has taken very good care of this baby of mine. Although I am weak, I will follow the doctor's instructions and take good care of this baby. I will see you off."

The Emperor said, "That's fine. It would be happier for Empress Madam to spend more time with the grandson in Empress Xian's belly. I still have memorials to review from the Yangxin Palace, so I won't send you off."

Afterwards, Ruyi held the empress dowager's hand and left together.

It was already dark, with not a single star in the sky. The dim moonlight was hidden behind the clouds, with only a few faint rays of moonlight shining on the cold Forbidden City.

The palace servants held lanterns and tried their best to illuminate the road. But in places where the lights could not reach, above the dark and tall palace walls, a few cat meows could be heard faintly.

The Queen Mother was afraid of cats, so she specifically ordered the palace maids to hurry up. When they reached the gate of the Cining Palace, Lianxin suddenly ran over and knelt down to stop the Queen Mother and Ruyi who had just got off the imperial carriage.

"I have something to ask of you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother glanced at Ruyi, who said with a gentle smile, "The Queen Mother is fair in her dealings. I think it is best for the Queen Mother to make the decision on the affairs of the six palaces so that everyone in the harem will be convinced. Please don't refuse, Queen Mother."
