Chapter 151: Old Workhorse Ruyi ()
Believe it or not, there really is such a person. This is what the eunuch chief Wang Qin thought. In his eyes, the emperor is just the son of a palace maid, and he can also play with the palace maids. In a rounded manner, he is more powerful than the emperor.
The powerful Wang Qin fell in love with Lianxin, the maidservant beside the Queen, and hinted to the Queen in both explicit and implicit ways that she wanted Lianxin to be her wife.
The Weaver Girl is a mentally normal fairy. She knows that Lianxin will not fall in love with Wang Qin, so she decisively rejects Wang Qin's suggestion. This angers Wang Qin, and he begins to flatter the emperor in both open and covert ways.
“Your Majesty, the Queen has three children to raise, I’m afraid she can’t take care of them all.” Wang Qin planned to make a fatal blow and separate the prince and the Queen, but the emperor was not supportive.
"The power of the palace is now in the hands of the Empress Dowager. The Empress has plenty of time to take care of the prince." When the Emperor said this, he was in a bad mood. The Empress Dowager's power was too great now. Moreover, the three children were all with the Empress. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The Weaver Girl quickly dispelled the emperor's concerns: "Your Majesty, Yonglian is sick again"
Yonglian was born in poor health. After the Weaver Girl possessed him, she had no other magic to use except basic illusions, so she naturally had no effect on Yonglian's body.
Shiyi didn't care about a prince, he just wanted to make sure he didn't die. As for curing him, that was completely impossible. Yonglian had been sick all the time, and this illness was related to Hailan.
Hai Lan couldn't stand seeing her good sister Ruyi being embarrassed, so she thought about doing something to make Ruyi happy. Then she thought of Yonghuang. The emperor had previously wanted to find a foster mother for Yonghuang, but the matter was left unresolved.
Hai Lan thought that Ruyi also wanted Yonghuang as her son, so she sent something to Yonghuang in the name of Ruyi. Those were gloves made by Hai Lan herself, using the cotton sent by the Imperial Household Department.
However, unexpectedly, the Imperial Household Department passed off inferior goods as good ones, and the cotton was mixed with willow catkins, which immediately triggered Yonglian's cough, and he didn't get better for several days. The mystery was not solved until Wei Yanwan took out the gloves.
"This was sent by Noble Lady Hai a few days ago. She said that she sent it specially because Concubine Xian was worried that the eldest prince might not have enough things." Wei Yanwan cut open the gloves, revealing the cotton inside.
"Your Majesty, Queen, there is not only cotton in this, but also a small amount of willow catkins. Willow catkins are very easy to be contaminated by dust. I guess the second prince's cough is caused by this."
The clever Wei Yanwan said with a smug look, which made the emperor furious: "What is the purpose of Concubine Xian's action? Investigate it carefully for me."
In the end, it was nothing more than Concubine Hai who meant well but did something bad, and Concubine Xian was the most innocent because she was unaware of it. Yonglian became even weaker due to his illness over the past few days, and even the imperial physician asserted that it would be difficult for Yonglian to have children in the future.
This shattered the emperor's dream of having his legitimate son ascend the throne. However, in reality, Yonglian's situation was not that serious. It was just that Zhinu knew that only by destroying Yonglian's possibility of ascending the throne would he have a chance to survive.
Yonglian's illness is indeed a big hidden danger. If someone takes advantage of it, Yonglian will definitely die. There is no way to prevent others from framing him, so it is better to use this method to save Yonglian.
Compared to losing his son, I think the original Fucha Langhuan would also be willing to not be able to let his son become emperor. What's more, the glory of the Fucha family can be borne by Yonghuang. This was also the plan of Zhinu and Shiyi from the beginning.
She simply deposed the legitimate son, and no one doubted that Ruyi did it on purpose. Even the empress dowager did not believe it. However, everything was such a coincidence, and even the emperor had no intention of punishing Ruyi.
Not only was Ruyi not punished, but Hailan was also saved by Ruyi. Concubine Hui was immediately furious. At present, she was a staunch supporter of the Queen and naturally hated Hailan.
So Hai Lan began her days of suffering in Xianfu Palace. Concubine Hui received instruction from the Empress Dowager, who taught her how to use meticulous and torturous techniques. Hai Lan had no one to complain to and could only endure it silently.
Because of her merits, Wei Yanwan was promoted to the second-class maid beside Yonghuang and was rewarded with a lot of money and property. Now she is considered a prominent figure.
The several palace maids around Yonghuang were all old. Looking at the young and beautiful Wei Yanwan, they subconsciously regarded her as Yonghuang's personnel maid and were always polite to Wei Yanwan.
She told Wei Yanwan all about Yonghuang's preferences and gave her careful advice, so that Wei Yanwan could show up in front of Yonghuang more often. Soon, after the first-class palace maid beside him left the palace, Yonghuang promoted Wei Yanwan to be by his side.
When Shiyi came to his senses, Yonghuang was already getting along very well with Wei Yanwan. Shiyi was not completely possessed by Yonghuang, so Yonghuang actually still had his own sanity.
In Yonghuang's eyes, Shiyi is the fairy who helps him and he is the one destined by heaven, so he must work hard to learn all the knowledge so that he can inherit his father's throne in the future.
The emperor who coveted the throne is still hanging out with Ruyi. Shiyi's medicine is so effective that the emperor has become dependent on Ruyi recently. Moreover, the medicine will not be discovered, so Ruyi just thinks that the emperor loves her too much.
Ruyi's exclusive favor made Concubine Jia, who was hoping to have a son, very dissatisfied. She tried various ways to seduce the emperor, but after several attempts, she still didn't get pregnant. At this time, Bai Ruiji became pregnant.
This time, Concubine Jia was completely defeated: "She has only slept with him a few times and she is already pregnant. Who is she showing off to?"
"My lady, don't be angry. Even if you get pregnant, you may not be able to give birth to the baby." Zhenshu had a vicious look on her face. As long as anyone was an enemy of Jin Yuyan, she would find ways to get rid of them for Jin Yuyan.
Bai Ruiji had no idea that she was being targeted. Not to mention Bai Ruiji, even Shiyi and Zhinu didn't notice this. They had more important things to pay attention to.
"Hai Lan's love seems to be broken?!" Hai Lan's love connected her and Ruyi, but for unknown reasons, it was broken. This was very strange.
In order to get to the bottom of this matter, Shiyi temporarily left Yonghuang's body and began to follow Hailan secretly, and then discovered a shocking secret.
Ruyi's bracelet was drugged by Shiyi. The drug has aphrodisiac effects, but the emperor does not come to Ruyi's palace every day. Without the emperor, Ruyi can only resort to other means when the drug takes effect.
This scene happened to be seen by Hailan. Under the influence of drugs, Ruyi actually asked Hailan for sex. Hailan was stunned for a moment, but Ruyi actually pounced directly on Hailan.
This scene overlaps with the one when Hongli forced Hai Lan. Hai Lan fled in fear and at the same time developed a psychological trauma towards Ruyi, and thus their love was broken.
This is simply a path that cannot be replicated, but it also shows that Bai Zhe's path of cultivation is not smooth. At least now she is completely unable to control her emotions.
