Chapter 297: Mutual Dependence; Ruyi Falls Off the Sedan
Ruyi nodded: "This is inevitable. Yongji and I will not be spared."
"So what's your plan, sister?"
"You and I both know who will become the crown prince and the next emperor." Ruyi raised her eyes to meet hers.
Gao Xiyue said, "We know, but they don't. Yan Wan is on our side now. Even if she gave birth to Yong Yan, it would be many years later. Besides, she hates the emperor so much right now, how could she be willing to give birth to a child for him?"
Ruyi shook her head: "I have advised her. For Jingyun's future, she will do what she should do."
Gao Xiyue asked: "Is she really willing to compete for favor?"
"Well, she was my servant last night."
Gao Xiyue sighed: "As a woman and a mother, I can understand her madness at that time. It was not easy for her to rise from the lowest palace maid to the Imperial Concubine."
Ruyi was also very sad: "We should help her if we can. We are all poor people in this Forbidden City!"
"Sister, I really think of you as my own sister. After this incident, I am really scared."
Ruyi hugged Gao Xiyue, and the two of them leaned on each other. At this moment, they became each other's support.
It was already late when we came out of Xianfu Palace.
Rong Pei: "Your Majesty, let's go back quickly. I feel very anxious."
Ruyi nodded and let Rong Pei help her get into the sedan chair.
Sanbao was holding a lantern in front to provide lighting. Suddenly, a young eunuch carrying the sedan chair slipped, causing the sedan chair to tilt and Ruyi to fall down.
A group of people were in a panic and were thrown to the ground in the dark.
Hailancha, who was on duty, rushed over upon hearing the news, and the torches in the hands of the guards illuminated the corridor.
"Hurry, send the Queen back. Rong Pei, you guys help the Queen up." Hailancha said.
After all, their guards are men, and there is a gender difference between them and the Queen. If they rush forward rashly at this time, the Queen will become the target of public criticism and will be talked about by others if the news gets out.
So Hailancha asked Rong Pei and the palace girls to help.
The group escorted Ruyi back to Yikun Palace.
Jiang Yubin was called away again just after he fell asleep.
Ruyi was unconscious. Jiang Yebin checked and found large bruises on her calves, which must have been contusions.
Fortunately, the bones are fine.
Hongli had already gone to bed, and now he was extremely anxious when he heard Li Yu's report.
"Hurry up, change my clothes, why did you fall down?"
Li Yu explained as he dressed him, "Your Majesty, I heard a few words from Sanbao and hurried to report to you. I don't know the specific situation."
Even the empress dowager was alarmed by the fact that the queen fell off the sedan chair.
Zhen Huan arrived at Yikun Palace before Hongli.
She asked Rong Pei, "What's going on? How are you serving her? If anything happens to the Queen, will your heads be enough to pay for it?"
Everyone knelt down, and Rong Pei said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. We often walk this route on weekdays, but we never thought something bad would happen today. It's because we were not careful enough. Please punish me, Queen Mother."
"Punishment is inevitable. Which imperial physician is asking him to respond?"
Jiang Yebin stepped forward and reported, "Her Majesty, the Empress's leg is bruised. She will be fine after some rest. However, she is frightened and unconscious, and has not yet woken up."
Zhen Huan nodded: "Just take good care of the Queen. I must get to the bottom of what happened today. I think this person who plotted to murder the Queen doesn't want to live anymore."
As he was speaking, Hongli came rushing over: "Empress Dowager, how could you be disturbed at this late hour?"
