Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

As soon as this incident happened, it caused an uproar in the court.

Yongsheng, wearing a white cloth on his head and a mourning dress, appeared at the morning court with a staggering gait, holding a spirit tablet engraved with Niuhuru's name, acting like a pitiful widow with deep affection.

In front of many ministers, Yongsheng knelt down in front of the emperor.

With red eyes, he cried to the emperor, saying that Xilin Gioro must be holding a grudge against him for confiscating their mansion, so he transferred his hatred to Nianhulu.

When Niuhulu went to Prince Zhong's mansion to present gifts, they humiliated and ridiculed her in every way.

Who knew that Niuhulu had been weak since childhood, and could not stand Xilin Gioro's partiality. She died in the midst of her emotional ups and downs.

Yongqi naturally refused to accept the charge and tried to defend himself in court, even citing the testimonies of many female relatives from that day.

This proves that Xilin Gioro has always been kind to others and did not have any conflicts with Niuhulu. Instead, the two got along well with each other.

But Yongsheng just made cold remarks and said that the husbands of those female relatives had always been close to Yongqi, so how credible could their words be?

He also said that it was because he insisted on marrying her that the emperor agreed to marry her. After marriage, he and Niuhulu also had a deep love for each other.

If it weren't for Xilin Gioro's torture this time, could it be that Niuhuru herself went insane and committed suicide in Prince Zhong's mansion, or did he murder Niuhuru?

Yongqi was stunned and speechless, while the emperor frowned, obviously he was also suspicious about the matter and did not believe it.

But what can we do? Human life is at stake.

Yongsheng was indignant. He brought the ministers of the Nianhulu clan and wrote a joint letter, insisting that the emperor issue an order to hand Xilin Gioro over to the Ministry of Justice for trial.

He also said that under severe torture, Xilin Jueluo would definitely confess his guilt and be punished.

Of course Yongqi did not agree.

In his anger, he proposed to find the best coroner to perform an autopsy on Niuhulu.

Find out the real cause of death and clear Xilin Gioro's name.

But just as he finished speaking, Yongsheng suddenly became furious, grabbed Yongqi by the collar, and veins appeared on his forehead.

When performing an autopsy, the coroner will remove the deceased's clothes and may even cut the body open to observe the condition inside the body.

Yongcheng denounced Yongqi's evil ambitions.

Not only did his wife kill his own wife, Niuhulu, she even wanted to desecrate Niuhulu, destroy her corpse, and tarnish her innocence after death.

Niuhulu's father was old, with gray beard and wrinkles all over his face.

Hearing this, he also resisted strongly and simply sat down in the hall, crying for his deceased daughter without caring about his image.

Except for the ministers of the two parties, the rest of the ministers looked at Yongsheng in white clothes and the father of Niuhulu in tears in the hall, and they all felt sympathy and pity.

Everyone accused Yongqi's wife of appearing virtuous but actually being vicious at heart.

What's worse, some people even speculated that Xilin Gioro was coquettish and hypocritical by nature, and that she must have bewitched Yongqi, causing him to lose his mind and become so biased towards her.

He even wanted to humiliate the Niuhulu clan in every possible way for her...

In the end, the situation became one-sided, and the ministers even began to persuade the emperor to divorce Xilin Gioro on behalf of Yongqi.

The situation was at a stalemate and the emperor was in great pain. He could only hold his forehead in hesitation and temporarily withdraw from the court.

Although the morning court session was over, things were far from over.

For a time, memorials to attack Xilin Gioro and Yongqi even flooded the desks in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When the emperor was in a depressed mood, Concubine Yao, wearing a rouge-colored gauze dress with a jade rabbit pattern on the side collar and dark flowers, twisted her waist and brought the emperor a bowl of soup.

The emperor took a sip and found the taste a bit strange, and couldn't help frowning.

Yaopin quickly explained, "This is the health-preserving purple ginseng and lily soup that the emperor used to drink.

"I see that Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, so I asked Doctor Xi to add some herbs to the drink to help clear heat and calm the qi. Is Your Majesty used to it?"

The emperor wanted to push the soup away.

Unexpectedly, although the soup tasted strange, it unexpectedly made him feel much more refreshed, and even his headache seemed to have improved.

Concubine Yao watched the emperor take another sip and smiled without saying anything.

Then he stepped forward, gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing a white wrist that was whiter than snow, and silently began to grind ink for the emperor.

After reviewing memorials for a long time, not only was the emperor's eyes already bloodshot from fatigue, but even Concubine Yao's wrists were about to cramp.

At this moment, Li Yu suddenly came to report that Yongqi was seeking a meeting outside.

The emperor's relatively calm expression suddenly turned cold.

He naturally knew why Yongqi came.

However, before the emperor could ask Li Yu to send him away, Yongqi forced his way in.

"Yongji, you are too unruly." The emperor's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out.

Unfortunately, Yongqi was so anxious and impatient that he didn't pay any attention to it.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor knew that he really came to plead for Xilin Gioro.

The Niuhuru clan is the empress dowager's maternal clan. In order to show filial piety and to appease Yongcheng and the Niuhuru clan, the emperor has made up his mind to conduct a strict investigation.

The breakthrough in all this is the Xilin Gioro family.

The emperor ordered people to go to Prince Zhong's mansion to bring Xilin Gioro into the palace, intending to have the maids from the Ministry of Punishment investigate first to see if they could find any clues.

Yongqi naturally refused.

He drew his sword in public and pointed it at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, and threatened that if anyone wanted to take Xilin Gioro away, they would have to step over him first.

On the way back home, he had calmed down and realized that all this was a frame-up by Yongsheng.

Although it is not known why the Niuhuru clan would rather sacrifice a daughter to help Yongsheng, there is no doubt that their target is not only the Xilin Gioro clan, but also themselves.

Therefore, although Yongqi admired Xilin Gioro's willingness to ask to enter the palace to accept punishment in order to prove her innocence, he did not agree with it.

“I know Fu-jin is afraid of making things difficult for me, but if you enter the palace, you will be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth, with nothing to gain but a hundred harms.

Yongcheng is ruthless, and this matter is deliberately targeting you and me. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out without losing a layer of skin.

Rather than watching you suffer innocently in the palace, I would rather go directly to the Emperor and fight for the truth.

But...if I do this, I'm afraid I'll lose the emperor's favor, and in the future..."

Xilin Gioro gently raised her hand and covered Yongqi's lips.

"Don't talk about the future, Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty is willing to protect me, I will not let you down.

Although our Xilin Gioro clan is not as powerful as the Niuhulu clan, we are aristocratic families with complex connections.

If we count three generations back, we can find some distant relatives.

I have asked my father to investigate. As long as it is a trap, there must be a way to break it.

Before everything comes to light, no matter what the prince does, I will follow him through thick and thin, and I will never regret it until I die."

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Yongqi calmed his mind, and the look in his eyes became more determined.

He knelt on the ground and begged earnestly, "Father, I am willing to vouch for your wife. She has absolutely never murdered Niuhulu.

I ask the Emperor to allow the concubine to be temporarily confined to the palace. I will deal with her after I find out the truth. "
