Chapter 135 Those injuries will not kill Rong Pei
Jin Yuyan's adding fuel to the fire was very effective. The midwife was also very tactful and let go of the emperor, who rushed inside angrily.
But as soon as I got inside, I saw another shocking scene.
"These are all gifts from the Queen. You should all know how to speak."
The person who spoke was the nanny sent by Jingse, named Hongmei.
She was as old as the empress dowager and had delivered the Great Khan of Khorchin. The emperor always felt she was very majestic when he saw her.
Hongmei held the headband that Ruyi was wearing in her hand, and took off the jewels and jades from it one by one and gave them to the people who were taking care of her.
Seeing the emperor coming, Hongmei only asked how he was.
"emperor."
The headband in Hongmei's hand was originally inlaid with rubies and pearls, but after Hongmei pulled it, only half a circle of pearls and a large square emerald green jadeite in the center remained.
"Don't blame Jingse for sending Nanny here."
The emperor praised Hongmei, and those who received the reward were comforted by Hongmei.
Although the emperor caught a glimpse of Ruyi's unhappy face, he completely ignored it.
And Hongmei said:
"Give the jade to the nanny just now. Take good care of her."
Hongmei received the order and went out.
The scene of Hongmei pulling off Ruyi's headband to reward her was also seen by Concubine Qing and Yanwan who was forcibly pulled over by Concubine Qing.
When Hongmei pulled the headband to the end, only three small pearls were left on it. Concubine Qing took the headband from Hongmei and walked in.
"I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect the Queen to really withhold the reward for the midwife."
"The Queen wants to show her power, so she should at least pick another day. It is more important to accumulate merits and virtues for the Fifth Princess.
That maid made a scene today. If it was any other maid, she would not make a scene with the queen, but secretly take revenge on the fifth princess. What should we do? "
Ruyi had been glared at by the emperor several times, and Jin Yuyan in front of her was also laughing at her.
Now that Concubine Qing and Yanwan are here, she realizes that she has acted inappropriately, and Concubine Qing hits the nail on the head with every word, leaving Ruyi with no way to refute.
Ruyi did something wrong, and Hongmei actively cleaned up the mess. Ruyi then shut up obediently. Although the emperor was unhappy, the joy of the princess' birth made him unwilling to care about Ruyi's faults.
The emperor was about to hug the fifth princess. As he approached the imperial physician who was examining the fifth princess, the physician suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess is born with a congenital deficiency and has a heart disease. I'm afraid it's not going to be good."
The emperor seemed to be stuck in the air, looking at the crying Fifth Princess with complicated eyes.
"Imperial Physician, is the Fifth Princess like this because of a sudden premature birth?"
"The fifth princess was born on a very good day, but she was born prematurely. She was also born on the day of Concubine Shu's 100th day of mourning. And she met these fools. It's really unlucky."
The imperial physician was trembling with fear and didn't know how to explain that the fifth princess had a congenital disease, so Concubine Qing's nonsense was half true and half false.
The doctor took the opportunity to speak.
"As for the unlucky things that Concubine Qing mentioned, I am not an expert on them. You can ask the Imperial Observatory.
But the fifth princess is indeed premature and cannot compare to a full-term baby."
The imperial physician seemed to have said nothing, but in fact he said everything.
"Hey, Queen, why are you doing this? It's just the hundredth day of the Shufei's memorial. Is it worth it to sacrifice the Fifth Princess's life for a dead person, a criminal at that? "
Concubine Qing and Jin Yuyan have the same idea of trying hard to put the blame on Ruyi.
Ruyi was once again angered by Jin Yuyan and gave birth prematurely. She now wants to push all the blame onto Ruyi.
"That's not true, Your Majesty, Concubine Jia is confusing right and wrong.
It was obvious that Concubine Jia deliberately got the Emperor drunk and refused to let him out, which caused the Empress to lose her pregnancy.
The Queen just doesn't want the deer blood wine incident to happen again."
Rong Pei limped in at some point and began to defend Ruyi.
"Rong Pei, you better shut up.
If you hadn't randomly told the Queen that cutting the midwife's reward was a punishment and a way to pray for the Fifth Princess, would there have been so many things going on today?"
"How long ago was the deer blood wine incident? You wish you could tell Khorchin about it."
"The princess said that the servants serving the queen are getting worse and worse. I thought she was just saying that, but I have seen that they are really out of character these days."
Hongmei's scolding was quick and decisive.
"So it was the idea of Rong Pei, the legitimate maid. I thought the Queen was not that kind of person.
I'm not sure if you're really praying for the Fifth Princess by reducing the rewards given to the palace maids, or if you're just trying to take away her blessings."
Concubine Qing now indiscriminately attacks anyone in front of Ruyi.
Rong Pei was totally at a loss for words after hearing what she said.
The emperor had heard enough and said angrily:
"What do you mean by legitimate maid?"
"Rong Pei took it upon herself to be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and removed from her position as the aunt in charge of Yikun Palace. Hong Mei will take over Rong Pei's place."
"Your Majesty, Rong Pei's idea was wrong, but her heart was good. The Fifth Princess's mental illness is not due to Rong Pei alone."
As soon as the emperor announced the punishment, Ruyi came to plead for mercy.
Jingsi's cries irritated the emperor.
Ruyi didn't care about Jingsi's illness, but instead pleaded for Rong Pei, the culprit.
"Empress, please take a good look. The one suffering from the heart disease is Jing Si, not Rong Pei.
Queen, please take good care of Jingsi."
Jin Yuyan seized the emperor's pain point and started to lecture Ruyi.
Ruyi was not convinced and said:
"This is a matter between me and the Emperor."
Ruyi still couldn't tell right from wrong. Jin Yuyan was too lazy to say anything. The emperor looked at Ruyi and said coldly:
"Queen, please take a good rest. I still have government affairs to attend to."
As he said this, he glanced at Hongmei.
"Jingsi has been handed over to Madam."
The emperor no longer wanted to stay with Ruyi any longer, nor did he want to talk to her much. He left the child in the care of Hongmei and left in a hurry.
Ruyi understood that the emperor did not favor her, so she stiffened her neck and said nothing, staring at the emperor as he walked away.
The emperor and the empress were not on good terms, so no one dared to stay any longer and they all left.
Yanwan walked at the back, and when she went out, she gave a hint that Ruyi could see, asking Ling Yunche to go outside.
Ruyi saw it but pretended not to see it, quietly waiting for Ling Yunche's reaction.
"My lady, I will prepare some hot soup for you."
Ling Yunche went out, and Ruyi stared at him intently. When she saw Ling Yunche disappear, she immediately told Lingzhi.
"Go follow Ling Yunche and see if she has gone to see Concubine Ling."
Lingzhi was stunned.
"My lady, Aunt Rong Pei has just been punished. I'd better apply medicine to Aunt Rong Pei first."
“No, go and keep an eye on Ling Yunche.
The emperor only punished Rong Pei, and those injuries will not kill Rong Pei."
Lingzhi was stunned, but Ruyi urged:
"Go. Go quickly."
Lingzhi was very confused, but still followed him out in a hurry.
Yanwan was talking to Ling Yunche not far from Ruyi's bedroom.
Yanwan could see clearly the shadow of the lotus branch cast on the ground.
Yanwan deliberately raised her voice.
"Brother Yun Che, Shu Fei's death has something to do with you, right?"
Yanwan could see Lingzhi's shadow swaying.
Ling Yunche subconsciously grabbed Yan Wan's arm.
"You know it all?"
Ling Yunche looked around.
Yanwan nodded.
"Yes, Brother Yun Che, on the night Chunyu Shuhe Hall burned down, you happened to be seen killing He Yi."
