Chapter 842 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 32]
One day, the sun shone through the window into Ruyi's bedroom. Doctor Jiang was concentrating on checking her pulse, when suddenly, the bracelet on Ruyi's wrist slipped off accidentally and fell to the ground with a clang. As the bracelet fell to the ground, several small pills rolled out of it.
Ruyi and Doctor Jiang were both stunned, their eyes focused on the pills at the same time. Doctor Jiang picked up one and examined it carefully, his face gradually becoming solemn. He slowly said, "This pill is called Si Ling Ling Xiang, and it is an extremely poisonous substance. If a woman uses this pill for a long time, it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant."
When Ruyi heard this, her heart suddenly sank, and her face, which was originally pale due to illness, instantly lost its color. She tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of disbelief and anger. For so many years, she had always kept to herself with Fu Cha Lang Huan, but she never thought that the other party would be so insidious and vicious.
At this time, Ruyi had completely seen through Fu Cha Langhuan's hypocritical true face. At this time, Doctor Jiang whispered again: "Your Majesty, not only that, I have recently discovered that Concubine Hui's condition is also quite strange. Every time I prescribe medicine for her, there are always two extra herbs that should not be there. I believe that in addition to Concubine Hui's own illness, there must be someone else who is secretly harming her."
Ruyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Doctor Jiang, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Doctor Jiang bowed and replied: "Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best to find out the truth and take care of both you and Imperial Concubine Hui. When the time is right, everything will come to light."
At the same time, a grand banquet was being held in the palace. The Queen Mother had been raising Princess Hengti in the Prince Zhen's mansion, and today the princess was finally able to return to the palace to visit her parents. The Queen Mother was filled with an extremely happy smile when she saw her daughter who had been reunited after a long absence.
At the banquet, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. In order to please the emperor, the queen mother specially trained a woman, Yihuan, and asked her to present a wonderful song and dance performance for the emperor. Yihuan was seen wearing a gorgeous dance dress, with a light and graceful figure, dancing like a fairy descending to the earth.
Hongli sat on the dragon chair, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him intently, and his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a satisfied smile. When the song ended, Yi Huanying bowed to the ground. Hongli asked with interest: "What's your name?"
Yihuan raised her head and replied in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, my last name is Yehenara." As soon as these words came out, all the concubines present were surprised and started talking to each other.
It turns out that in the distant past, the Yehe Nara tribe had suffered a fierce attack from Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, and was eventually wiped out by him. It is said that before the death of the leader of the Yehe Nara tribe, his heart was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, so he made a poisonous oath: Even if there was only one woman left in the Yehe Nara clan, he would do his best to destroy the Aixinjueluo clan! This oath is like a ghost, floating in the long river of history.
However, the Queen Mother thought that this was just a rumor that had been passed down. Moreover, the Yehenara clan had already submitted to the Qing Dynasty, and even Yihuan's father was serving as an official beside the current emperor.
Hongli also agreed with this, and he felt that what the Queen Mother said was very true. Moreover, just now, when Yihuan recited those beautiful and moving poems, her voice was melodious, clear and pleasant, which was really intoxicating. You know, in this huge palace, the only person who can be so proficient in Han poetry is Ruyi, except for the two noble concubines.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Hongli mentioned Ruyi's name inadvertently, and their faces instantly became a little strange. Perhaps it was because in this complex palace environment, everyone's mind was so unpredictable.
After some thought, Hongli made a decisive decision - to confer the title of noble lady on Yihuan. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a small sensation.
At the same time, Gao Xiyue's father found some exquisite firecracker boxes from somewhere. In an instant, the sky above the entire palace was illuminated by colorful fireworks, as if a dreamlike fairyland had descended upon the earth. Everyone looked at this beautiful scene with joy on their faces.
However, in Yihuan's eyes, these short-lived and brilliant fireworks are beautiful, but they are only a flash in the pan. She said softly: "If people are like fireworks, they can only be lively for a short time and then return to loneliness and desolation. It is better to turn into stars in the night sky. Although the light they emit may be extremely weak, they can shine forever."
This unique insight made Hongli look at Yihuan with new eyes. He was deeply attracted by this talented and elegant woman. In order to express his love and admiration for Yihuan, Hongli specially gave her a beautiful title - "Shu". From then on, Yihuan began her new life in the palace as "Shu Guiren".
At this moment, a panicked eunuch came running over and reported to everyone breathlessly: "My lords, there was a sudden fire in the cold palace for some reason! The fire was extremely fierce!" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
From a distance, one could see flames rising to the sky in the cold palace, the raging fire seemed to devour everything. In the cold palace, Ruyi and her personal maids were huddled together in fear, shivering.
At the critical moment, Ling Yunche rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation, completely disregarding his own safety, and tried his best to find the figures of Ruyi and her servant. Finally, he found them and successfully rescued them from the sea of fire.
At this time, the emperor rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart - his woman was actually held in the arms of a foreign man. Although he knew that Ruyi was not to blame for this, Hongli, as an emperor and a naturally narrow-minded person, still silently remembered this scene deeply in his heart.
After making sure that Ruyi was safe, Hongli walked forward, gently took off his clothes, and gently put them on Ruyi. Then, without saying a word, he turned around silently and slowly left the scene.
At the same time, outside the Yangxin Palace, Gao Xiyue was kneeling on the ground, taking off her hairpin, and sincerely asking the emperor for forgiveness for setting off fireworks that caused the fire in the cold palace. However, to everyone's surprise, Hongli did not blame Concubine Gao, but instead showed tolerance and generosity.
In Chengqian Palace, Hailan looked at Youyou with a worried look on her face and couldn't help asking, "Sister, after this incident, I'm afraid Concubine Xian will be released from the cold palace soon, right?"
After hearing this, Youyou frowned slightly and answered thoughtfully: "It's hard to say. Even if the one in the cold palace can be released, he might be sent back one day."
"Sister, what do you mean...?" Hai Lan looked puzzled. She blinked her big watery eyes and asked in confusion.
Youyou narrowed her eyes slightly, raised a barely perceptible smile, and said softly: "Sister, didn't you notice? Just now, Concubine Xian was carried out by a stranger in public! And her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy, which was simply unbearable to look at! Even if our high and mighty emperor doesn't say anything, with his arrogant character, how could he not feel a little uncomfortable in his heart?"
At this point, Youyou paused for a moment, staring at Hailan, and continued, "So in my opinion, we don't have to do anything right now, just wait and see. But if the time is right, we might as well make the fire burn even more vigorously, so that Concubine Xian will completely lose the emperor's heart."
After hearing what Youyou said, Hailan nodded thoughtfully and replied obediently: "Yes, sister, I will follow your arrangements in everything."
