Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 373: All Concubines Kneel Together in Yangxin Palace

Chen Wanyin said timidly, "Your Majesty, have you fallen into someone else's trap?"

Gao Xiyue didn't believe it.

She and Ruyi have been fighting for the longest time. When she was young, she knew that Ruyi was very scheming. It doesn't make sense that she has become more confused as she gets older.

Yi Huan lowered her brows and murmured, "Not to mention that the Queen's behavior is abnormal, even the Emperor's actions today are puzzling.

You can imagine how much the emperor loved the queen in the past. But everything started to go wrong after the Mulan Paddock.

First there was the Cold War, then there was a dispute, and now it has even led to the dethronement of the queen?

I always feel that there must be something behind this that we don’t know about…”

"What else could be going on behind this? It's just that Jingyang Palace's Concubine Yao is trying to win your favor and confuse your emperor."

Yingpin's voice arrived before she did.

She brought Concubine Ke and they came to the Yanx Palace at the same time.

"As soon as I heard the news, I called out Pingchangzai and Kui Changzai from my palace.

The two of them were stupid and could not stand the fright. They both admitted that it was Concubine Yao who took the initiative to find them and wanted to take them to the emperor to win his favor with deer blood wine.

If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Fang Da Ying in Concubine Hui’s palace.”

Gao Xiyue was angry and annoyed, and gnashed her teeth and said, "Fang promised this slave girl. I thought she was honest and never made things difficult for her.

I didn't expect that she would dare to collude with Concubine Yao behind my back.

It's my fault for not realizing earlier that she is a restless person!"

"Okay, we'll deal with those restless concubines later."

Hai Lan waved her hand decisively, interrupting Gao Xiyue's angry rebuke.

"The most important thing right now is that my sister is under house arrest in the Yikun Palace. I have to go and persuade the emperor to let my sister out and clear up the misunderstanding.

In order to avoid implicating you, I will go to the Yangxin Palace alone to handle this matter. You all should return to the palace and wait for news.

If I do the same...you must never act rashly again."

"No, I have to go too." Chen Wanyin suddenly stood up, her eyes as firm as a rock.

"Anyway, when it comes to favored status, I have always been mediocre. Apart from Jing??, I have nothing to lose."

After saying that, she did not forget to look at the noble lady Ke who lived in Yonghe Palace with her, and said, "Noble lady Ke, if I can't come back for a while, remember to take good care of Jing for me..."

Even Wanyin, who was usually kind-hearted, had the courage to share the difficulties. The other concubines could no longer remain calm and all wanted to go to the Yangxin Palace with Hailan to admonish the emperor.

Yihuan gave a well-reasoned analysis.

They were said to be close to Ruyi on a normal day, and now that Ruyi was in trouble, if they hid aside, given the emperor's suspicious nature, he would probably think they were timid and cowardly.

The so-called sisterhood is nothing but a cold-blooded and heartless relationship where monkeys scatter when the tree falls.

Rather than avoiding it, it is better to face the challenge head on.

At least the emperor should know that the sisters are united, and that Ruyi has a deep and convincing prestige in the harem, and that she is a qualified and good queen.

Since both advancing and retreating are wrong, it’s better to be free and unrestrained for once.

Hai Lan could not change the opinions of the other concubines, so, led by the two imperial concubines, they all headed towards the Yangxin Palace in a mighty procession.

At that time, the emperor was resting with his eyes closed on the soft couch, while Concubine Yao was sitting beside him, gently fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and carefully simmering the ginseng and snow pear soup on the stove.

The emperor's coughing up blood has improved significantly under the treatment of Imperial Physician Xi.

Didn't Ruyi think that Concubine Yao was a foxy girl? Then why did the emperor favor Concubine Yao?

He just wanted to let Ruyi know who was the only master in the Forbidden City who had the final say.

Therefore, when the emperor suddenly heard that the concubines, who were usually gentle and obedient, were kneeling at the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, his face immediately darkened.

The emperor's mood, which had finally been improved by Concubine Yao, was completely destroyed in an instant.

"What are they trying to do? Could it be that they have gone insane like the Queen and are determined to oppose me in everything?"

Concubine Yao looked charming, brought the ginseng soup to the emperor, and said gently, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. You've made yourself sick for no reason. Others may not feel sorry for you, but I am heartbroken."

Seeing the emperor taking the bowl of soup and drinking it in big gulps, a strange light flashed across Concubine Yao's eyes and then disappeared without a trace.

Outside the palace, Hai Lan and Gao Xiyue, as imperial concubines, shouted one after another, begging the emperor to have mercy on the queen and forgive her.

The more the emperor listened, the more annoyed he became, and he threw the empty bowl of medicine at Li Yu, who was serving him.

"Are you made of wood, eunuch? Send them all away quickly!"

The porcelain fragments from the medicine bowl scratched Li Yu's cheek.

He did not dare to dodge at all, even though a bloodstain suddenly appeared on his face, he still knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it is all my incompetence.

Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Hui clamored to appear before the Emperor to petition his cause, and the other concubines also said that they were willing to follow the two imperial concubines.

A servant... a servant cannot be violent towards the young masters..."

The emperor looked at the scars on Li Yu's face and felt a moment of pity in his heart.

But soon, this trace of reluctance was overshadowed by overwhelming annoyance.

It was because Concubine Yao started to tease her in a pretentious manner.

"Oh, Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Hui are both old ladies in the palace, how can they still be so ignorant?

They are making a lot of noise outside the Yangxin Palace, disturbing the emperor's peace."

The emperor walked out of the hall in a rage, and Pi Tou started scolding him.

"You have surrounded my Yangxin Palace like this. Have you learned all the rules and etiquette of the palace?"

Hai Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, she raised her head and said, "Your Majesty's teachings, I will keep them in mind.

However, when we heard that the Queen was confined to the Yikun Palace and forced to hand over the Queen's seal, we were shocked and confused.

This dethronement of the empress is a major event concerning the harem and even the previous dynasty. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting, and do not act impulsively because of the instigation of villains."

"There is no villain instigating me. I have made up my mind. You can all go away."

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, as if he was trying to shoo away some flies, and tried to drive away the concubines kneeling in front of him.

Gao Xiyue stiffened her neck, refusing to move an inch, "Your Majesty, slanderous words are pleasing to the ears and good for the heart, but honest words are unpleasant to the ears but beneficial for the actions.

Even if the Queen said something that displeased you in a moment of anxiety, she did it for your own good.

You really shouldn't punish the Queen so severely, and you shouldn't say the word "depose the Queen" so easily!"

The emperor snorted coldly and stared at Gao Xiyue as if he were a dead object.

"I don't even know that when I like or hate someone, I need your permission, Concubine Hui?

How dare you kneel here and shamelessly disobey me and refute my actions?

If I want to depose the queen, I can do so. If I want to depose you, I can do so at any time!"
