Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 40 Dealing with Xiangyun

Ruyi once told her that the current Empress Dowager originally had a personal maid named Jin Xi, who was paired with the chief eunuch Su Peisheng during the previous emperor's reign.

It’s just that the palace maid was luckier than Lianxin, as the eunuch she married treated her sincerely.

But this alone was enough to arouse the Queen Mother's pity for Lianxin.

Therefore, Lianxin took advantage of the Queen's decline and the Queen Mother's gradual approach to palace power to reveal to her what Wang Qin had done to her.

In order to stay by the Queen's side and continue to serve her, and also to protect her younger brothers and sisters-in-law, Lianxin chose to push all the blame onto Su Lian and clear the Queen of all blame.

As expected, Su Lian and Wang Qin both died, and Lian Xin successfully became the most trusted maidservant around Fu Cha Langya.

Hai Lan put down the cake in her hand and wiped her hands with a plain white handkerchief embroidered with bamboo leaves, "Speaking of which, this Concubine Yi is also pitiful.

Not only did Su Lian and Jia Chang kill the baby in her belly, she also lost her own life."

Ruyi lowered her eyes and did not speak, but her heart was thinking about her past life.

At that time, Huang Qiying also encountered a snake in Jingyang Palace, but Ruyi suppressed her fear and risked her life to find someone to save her.

Huang Qiying appears to be grateful to Ruyi, but secretly she is instigated by Jin Yuyan and believes that Ruyi has poisoned her with cinnabar.

It's really stupid.

But the scariest thing is that this person is stupid. The scariest thing is that he is both stupid and vicious.

Ruyi still remembers the scene where Huang Qiying was dressed in white, her face as pale as paper, and she was holding a knife and stabbing herself with a dull and creepy expression.

If it weren’t for惢心’s desperate protection, Ruyi in her previous life would not even have the chance to be sent to the cold palace alive.

Without delving into the unfathomable chill in Ruyi's eyes, Hai Lan continued, "The Queen and Huipin were implicated by their personal maid, and one was suspected because of a poisonous snake.

But the emperor never punished them in the end. Sister, I find this a little strange."

Ruyi picked up a plum and played with it repeatedly between her slender fingers, but she was not in a hurry to eat it.

"What's so strange about this? After all, there is no direct evidence that can point to the Queen and Huipin.

Besides, one of them is the Fucha family, and the other is the Gao family. For the sake of the stability of the court, the emperor cannot touch them.

All I want is suspicion. It is enough for the emperor to have doubts about them. And..."

Ruyi blinked slyly, "Did the Queen really not receive any punishment? That day in the Cining Palace, I saw that the Queen Mother's face was not very good."

Hai Lan figured it out quickly and said with a smile, "Sister is smart. I'm afraid the Queen's power over the six palaces will not be as secure as before.

But I still think that Concubine Jia... oh no, Concubine Jia is abominable. I didn't expect that she could reach out to the Yanxi Palace right under our noses.

It was my fault for not realizing early on that Xiangyun beside me was someone who could be easily seduced by money.

It was only after I realized so late that I realized how ambitious Xiangyun was.

She even wanted to take advantage of Jia Changzai's power to become a concubine. In order to achieve her goal, Xiangyun surrendered to Jia Changzai. Xiangyun was very brave.

How despicable that he dared to put cinnabar into my sister's fish pond without permission.

Now, Xiangyun is no longer useful. Sister, why don’t you tell the emperor about this and let him deal with her.”

Ruyi shook her head gently, "No need. If I make this clear, Jia Changzai will be wary. Now that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, it is most convenient to act.

Jia Chang doesn't know yet that I have discovered her plan. I'm afraid she is still feeling smug, waiting to see me give birth to a monster.

If we touch Xiangyun, we will alert the enemy and let Jia Changzai come up with some other sinister tricks to harm me, and then the situation will be out of control.

I want her to think that she has succeeded, let down her guard, and then watch me give birth to a healthy child.

I think Jia Changzai's expression at that time must have been very interesting."

"Sister, you are wise." Hailan quickly figured out the reason and praised. "But sister, I still think that keeping Xiangyun around is always a hidden danger."

Ruyi nodded, "We can't keep a slave like this. Even if we can't deal with her for the time being, we can let her suffer a little and cut off her connection."

Hailan said, "Sister, are you talking about the little trick that the imperial kitchen uses to send us fish food?"

Ruyi nodded, "Hai Lan, I'll leave this matter to you. Can you be so cruel?"

Hailan's eyes became fierce, "Don't worry, sister. I won't let anyone who dares to harm you go easily."

The main gate of Qixiang Palace was tightly closed, leaving only a small door on the side for palace servants to enter and exit every day.

Withered leaves were drifting, carved railings were covered with dust, and even the sunlight seemed unable to illuminate the gloom of Qixiang Palace.

Since being demoted to a concubine, Jin Yuyan has been confined to Qixiang Palace and has been in constant fear.

"Zhenshu, why do you think the emperor treats me like this? Is it because I am too eager for quick success that I am being schemed against?"

Jin Yuyan was worried and kept turning the topaz bracelet in her hand.

"Don't worry, Master. I have already sent a letter to my mother's family. They will speak to the Emperor on your behalf. I think you will be able to leave soon.

Even if the emperor is angry with you for a while, his birthday will come in March. By then, the master will be able to get out anyway. "Zhenshu comforted.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. The first child born after the Emperor ascends the throne must be born by me.

Otherwise, what status and future would I have in this harem?"

The beads in Jin Yuyan's hand were spinning faster and faster, and she felt a little annoyed.

“That useless thing, Concubine Yi, has already been eliminated by Su Lian.

Although I was implicated and took the blame for a while, I think the Emperor and the Empress must feel somewhat guilty about my miscarriage.

If I send a petition to the Yangxin Palace every day, the Emperor will eventually give in.

It's just that Concubine Xian's belly is really an eyesore. Zhenshu, is the Xiangyun you found doing her job seriously? "Jin Yuyan looked at Zhenshu.

Zhenshu frowned when she heard this, "A few days ago, I gave Xiangyun a lot of cinnabar through the small passage in the imperial kitchen.

According to Xiao Luzi's report, he saw with his own eyes that Xiangyun had put all the cinnabar into Concubine Xian's fish pond.

Empress Xian loved to eat fish and shrimp, so it seemed that the cinnabar had already harmed her fetus without anyone noticing.

Even if Concubine Xian gives birth to a child in the future, it will definitely be an unhealthy child. It won’t affect the master. It’s just…”

Jin Yuyan looked at Zhenshu and asked anxiously, "Just what?"

Zhenshu lowered her head and whispered in Jin Yuyan's ear, "It's just that Xiangyun broke a valuable vase in Hai Guiren's room yesterday, which frightened Concubine Xian.

I was punished by Hai Guiren to kneel in the courtyard in the sun for half an hour. As a result, I suffered a heart attack due to heat stroke. Now I lie in Yanxi Palace every day and dare not go out easily. "

Jin Yuyan sneered, "You fell ill after only kneeling for half an hour. You are really useless.

Such a weak maidservant would not live long even if she was allowed to become a concubine. "

Jeong-sook is not as optimistic as Kim Yoo-yeon.

"But my Lord, when I went to look for Xiao Luzi today, I heard from the people in the imperial kitchen that Xiao Luzi slipped when he passed by the bridge last night and fell into the pond. He has been drowned."

Jin Yuyan's expression became serious. "Dead?"

Jung-sook nodded.

Jin Yuyan covered her chest with her hands, frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that Concubine Xian noticed what I did?"
