Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The emperor was silent for a while, calmed down, and continued, "Hui Fei, the Empress Dowager has not forgotten, and I have not forgotten either.

When Concubine Xian arrived, I gave her the Jade Ruyi and also specially granted you a hundred taels of gold so that you could return home.

So you are still sitting in the palace as Huipin and raising my eldest son. Does that mean you are also a monster?"

Gao Xiyue was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant..."

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Hui Fei, the most taboo thing in the palace is the talk of ghosts and gods. Now that you keep talking about monsters, I have to doubt your intentions."

Gao Xiyue hurriedly said, "I dare not."

Under the empress dowager's stern gaze, no one in the room dared to speak.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the Director of the Imperial Observatory. "Director, you said that he was born under the Wood Fate and would bring bad luck to the Emperor. Do you still believe this?"

The head of the Imperial Observatory was already shaking like a sieve, but he couldn't admit it, nor could he deny it. He made up his mind and said, "What I said is the truth, so I admit it."

"Good, he is upright and honest. He is a good candidate to be a supervisor." The Queen Mother said sarcastically.

The Queen Mother originally disliked this eunuch because he was making things difficult for Neqin in the court. Now it seems that this man is a liar, deceiving the emperor and not repenting. There is no need to keep him even for a second.

"I happen to have a man here who is well versed in astrology. He came here today to report you. How about you confront him face to face?"

Soon, a man was brought up. He was the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory.

"Your humble servant is here to see the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. I want to report the Supervisor for accepting bribes and fabricating horoscopes!"

What? When these words came out, everyone present was extremely shocked.

"I heard with my own ears that the Supervisor had conspired with a man in the house the day before yesterday, saying that they wanted to use the celestial phenomena to trap Concubine Xian and kill your son!"

The deputy envoy's words frightened the supervisor so much that he fell to the ground.

The Supervisor retorted with a trembling voice, "I did not say those words! I..."

"If you didn't say those words, then what did you say? It seems that you are confessing yourself and admitting that you made up the horoscope?" The Queen Mother said sarcastically.

"Your humble servant...your humble servant is..." The supervisor was extremely flustered, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The deputy envoy then said, "I testify that the supervisor did fabricate the astrological signs. Because according to my observation, the dim star in the Purple Palace is not a disaster star at all, but a good omen.

I don't know why the Supervisor lied, but I can't bear to see the stars being distorted and compiled to harm others. So today, I am willing to sacrifice my life to expose the Supervisor's idleness and unworthy position! "

Every word the deputy envoy said was heart-wrenching, making everyone present feel sad.

Hearing what the deputy envoy said, a chill struck the emperor's heart. However, he did not show any sign on his face, but asked in a cold voice.

"Deputy Envoy, you said you saw a man conspiring with the Supervisor, but did you see the man's face? Who is he?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not see the man's face clearly. I only vaguely remember that he was wearing the clothes of a low-ranking eunuch and was thin and small." The deputy envoy replied.

"Tell me, who is it?" The emperor slammed the table and stood up angrily. He walked to the supervisor, grabbed his official collar and shouted angrily.

The Supervisor was so frightened that he was out of his mind. He could only hear him mumbling, "It's... it's someone close to the Queen. He told me to just do as he was told. With the Queen's blessing, he will surely ensure that I will live a life of wealth and glory in the future..."

"This is simply nonsense!" The emperor let go of the supervisor's hand and turned to look at Fucha Langya, his eyes full of solemnity, resentment and disappointment.

At this time, Fu Cha Langya also felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

"I have never done that! Sir, I have never met you before, why are you slandering me?

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must believe me. I have been married to you for many years, how could I be such a vicious person? "

Jin Yuyan reacted quickly, and she hurriedly asked the supervisor, "You said that someone close to the Queen instigated you to tamper with the astrology, what evidence do you have?

Do you know what it means to defame the Empress? Don't you even care about the safety of your family?"

As soon as these words came out, the Supervisor really stopped talking. The Emperor also felt relieved for some reason.

Without evidence, Fucha Langya is still innocent.

Regardless of whether the emperor is deceiving himself or not, Fucha is now capable and her position as the empress cannot be shaken.

Unfortunately, before the emperor could relax for long, the eunuch took out a thumb-sized, extremely delicate peony-like flower with kingfisher feathers from his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have long guessed that you would turn against me after using me, so I specifically asked that young eunuch for this!

The eunuch told me that this was a piece of kingfisher feather that fell from your jewelry. You would recognize it, wouldn’t you?

Many concubines in the palace loved to wear the kingfisher headdress. Even the empress, who always advocated simplicity, was not immune to this trend. Except for the empress, no one else would dare to wear the peony-shaped kingfisher headdress.

The moment Fucha Langya saw the green peony, her heart sank. It was indeed something that had fallen off her jewelry.

A few days ago, when Lian Xin was dressing her, she found that a small flower was missing from the Diancui headdress. At that time, Lian Xin also suggested that Fu Cha Langya send it to the jewelry bureau for repair and refurbishment.

But because Fucha Langya didn't want to spend money, she didn't send it for repairs for the time being. She just asked a few palace maids in Changchun Palace to look for it carefully every day.

Unexpectedly, the thing that could not be found in the Changchun Palace would appear in the hands of the Supervisor.

"I didn't... Your Majesty, I didn't do it." Fu Cha Langya hurriedly explained.

But she was in a high position and was used to flattery, and had never experienced a situation where she was framed by others.

For the first time, she realized how feeble and powerless her excuses were when she was slandered by others.

Seeing Fu Cha Langya speechless and blushing, Lian Xin suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is wise. The Empress lost a small peony from her kingfisher jewelry a few days ago. I was the first to discover this, and all the palace maids in Changchun Palace know about it.

The Empress did not like extravagance, so she did not ask anyone to take the jewelry back for repair. I don't know who picked it up and used it to slander the Empress's reputation. Your Majesty, the Empress is innocent.

The emperor's expression was still uncertain, and the queen mother snorted coldly, "You are the queen's maid, so you are naturally on the queen's side.

How about this, I will send you to the Ministry of Punishment. If you can survive the seventy-two punishments of the Ministry of Punishment and not change your words, then I will believe you. How do you think? "

Lian Xin trembled all over, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "If I can clear the Queen's grievances, I... I am willing..."

Lianxin's loyal and righteous act shocked Fucha Langya.

She looked directly at the little palace maid who had been serving her since she started living in the palace, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
