Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 55: Confinement to Yanxi Palace
In the past, the most capable palace maid around Fucha Langya was Su Lian.
Su Lian was considerate and gentle, and was good at understanding her superiors' intentions. Many of the things that Fu Cha Langya could not say were conveyed by Su Lian.
However, it was also because of Fu Cha Langya's indulgence and Mrs. Fu Cha's encouragement that Su Lian developed the bad habits of making presumptuous assumptions and acting on her own.
In the end, he died because of this.
Without Su Lian, Lian Xin's strengths were highlighted. She was gentle and tolerant, clever and intelligent, and loyal to her master.
Unconsciously, Fu Cha Langya's heart had gradually been moved by Lian Xin, and she trusted and valued Lian Xin more and more.
Seeing Lianxin's body trembling with fear, and her stubborn kneeling and begging loyally, Fucha Langya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and finally knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, Lianxin is telling the truth.
I have never bribed the Imperial Observatory or persecuted Empress Xian. I really don't know why the Imperial Observatory would slander me.
I feel so bad for Lianxin because of Wang Qin's incident. Please don't send her to the Ministry of Punishment for the sake of her loyalty to you, Queen Mother.
This time, please show some mercy, Queen Mother. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Fu Cha Langya rarely spoke up for Lian Xin.
Lian Xin, who was lying on the ground, paused for a moment, clenched her fists tightly, and then slowly loosened them. Lian Xin refused to raise her head, and no one noticed her inner struggle and self-mockery at the moment.
The Queen Mother raised her lips slightly and looked at Ruyi. Ruyi nodded slightly and turned to watch the Emperor's expression change several times, and she already knew what was going on.
As a victim, she did not insist on a result, but just said softly, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I think the one-sided statement of the Imperial Observatory cannot be fully trusted.
There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace. If any of them picked up a fragment of kingfisher jewellery and claimed that he was the queen's man, wouldn't the harem be in chaos? "
Ruyi frowned and looked at Fucha Langya, whose face was dull and puzzled, her eyes full of gentleness and kindness.
Before Fucha Langya could react, Ruyi turned to the emperor again, lowered her head slightly, revealing her neck as white as a lotus root, and spoke softly but firmly.
"The Empress governs the six palaces, sets an example of simplicity and has a noble character. She also takes good care of the Second Prince, showing her motherly love.
All these things make it hard for me to believe that she would murder the child in my womb.
Although the Queen Mother had a prejudice against me in the past, I think that today, the Queen Mother was probably too exhausted from taking care of the Second Prince and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
As for the director of the Imperial Observatory, his intentions are extremely sinister. Not only did he spread rumors to slander me, he also defamed the Empress and destroyed the Emperor's reputation. This is truly despicable.
I just want to accumulate blessings for my unborn child and don’t want to see bloodshed. Please Your Majesty and the Queen Mother handle this impartially.”
Everyone present was surprised that Ruyi did not pursue the matter, especially Fucha Langya, who could not understand why Ruyi spoke for her.
Is there really someone in this harem who is untainted by the mud and whose heart is as pure as a lotus?
Could it be that all my past ill will towards Concubine Xian was just the result of my own petty thoughts?
Or is it that Ruyi is more likely to feel compassion and mercy because she is pregnant?
Fu Cha Langya thought of her own Yonglian.
She is also a mother, and she also has to accumulate blessings for Yonglian. She is already the queen, and perhaps it is better to take good care of Yonglian wholeheartedly than to fight for power blindly.
Fu Cha Langya lowered her eyes, and the shadow of her eyelashes just concealed her emotions.
The emperor looked at Ruyi's forbearance and magnanimity, and felt deeply moved.
He knew that Ruyi was afraid that he had just ascended the throne and his position was unstable. If the empress was disturbed by this matter, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the former dynasty and the harem.
Everything Ruyi did was to avoid embarrassing him. Such a pure and kind beautiful woman is a blessing to have.
The emperor looked at Ruyi with satisfaction and said tenderly, "Ruyi, you are gentle and virtuous, and I am sorry to have wronged you this time.
Since you don't want to see blood, I naturally want to accumulate blessings for our children.
The director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory tampered with the stars for his own selfish reasons, which was considered as an unjust act. He was stripped of his official position, expelled from the palace, and was not allowed to take the imperial examinations to become an official for three generations.
As for the deputy envoy, he should be promoted to the position of supervisor. If the Imperial Astronomical Observatory compiles astrological data again or makes false statements, you'd better be careful with your head."
The deputy envoy said he dared not, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and then withdrew.
After the deputy envoy left, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The Emperor's punishment is very reasonable. But such things have happened one after another in the harem, and I can't just sit back and watch.
According to Ai Jia's opinion, Ah Ruo, as an old servant, could not be kept for spreading rumors about her old master's past. She was taken to the Ministry of Punishment and tortured severely to make her reveal the person behind the scenes.
As for Concubine Xian, although the rumors are false, she still needs to be explained to the world. She will be confined to the Yanxi Palace until the truth is found out. "
The emperor knew that this was a punishment for Ruyi and also a protection, so he said, "The Queen Mother is wise. After Concubine Xian gives birth smoothly, the rumors will naturally be dispelled.
As for the fact that the Second Prince was ill and caused the Queen to fail in her management of the harem, I cannot bear to blame her.
The Queen should focus on taking care of the Second Prince first. I will trouble you to take care of your son's harem for a while."
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager both concluded that it was a rumor, so Ruyi felt relieved for the time being.
Ruyi bowed and said softly and gently, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for trusting my innocence. I am willing to stay in Yanxi Palace and take care of the heir."
Hai Lan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my sister is in poor health and I am worried. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to stay with my sister in the Yanxi Palace."
The emperor naturally agreed.
A farce ended hastily.
When Fu Cha Langya returned to Changchun Palace, she still looked a little dazed.
I didn't expect that Concubine Hui was so inefficient in her work and actually used such a stupid and straightforward method that anyone with a discerning eye could see problems.
Fucha Langya was originally furious because she had been deprived of her power to manage the six palaces. But now, because of Ruyi's gentle revelation, she actually felt a little relieved.
But Fu Cha Langya was really upset. She had never sent anyone to look for the former director of the Imperial Observatory, so why did that person slander her?
Fu Cha Langya couldn't figure it out either, so she had to call Hua Shu over, "Hua Shu, ask someone to take a message to my mother. By the way, ask her to help find out what happened to the former director of the Imperial Observatory?
I have never asked anyone to instruct him. His nonsense and accusations against Concubine Xian have caused me to be suspected by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and I have lost my power to manage the six palaces. This is really strange."
Hua Shu nodded, "Yes, Madam. I will definitely convey this to Madam Fucha."
After Hua Shu left, Jin Yuyan stared at her back in a daze. This dress was very similar to what Su Lian wore before, but her figure and voice were very different...
The dead cannot be resurrected, and Jin Yuyan tried hard to drive away the strange thoughts in her mind.
Seeing Fu Cha Langya's bad face, he hurriedly comforted her, "The Queen's mother's family is very capable, and they will definitely find out the truth for the Queen as soon as possible and clear her name.
When the time comes, the Emperor will realize that he has wronged you and will feel guilty about you, and will definitely return your power to manage the six palaces to you."
