Hai Changzai tries hard to prove Ruyi’s innocence
In the deep palace of the Forbidden City, Mr. Jia came to visit the imperial concubine, but heard the imperial concubine complaining that she was self-defeating.Last night, a shocking incident occurred in the Yanxi Palace. After Haichang woke up, he recalled what happened yesterday, and his heart was filled with grievances.Fortunately, Ruyi was there to comfort her, reminding her to learn to be patient in order to cope with the complex and ever-changing interpersonal relationships in the palace.
Ruyi left Yanxi Palace and went to Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor.On the way, she found that Li Yu was forced to kneel on the cold tiles. She couldn't bear it, so she ordered him to go to Yanxi Palace for treatment after kneeling.Soon, the emperor summoned Ruyi, and it turned out to be for Mei's injury.Mei agreed and claimed that her injuries became more serious after using the medicine sent by the imperial concubine.After examination, the imperial physician found that the medicine was mixed with poisonous plumbagin, which was more toxic when it came into contact with the skin.
Su Lian claimed that he had also used this medicine, but there was no difference.Mei agreed to suddenly accuse Ruyi of framing her because only Ruyi had the opportunity to come into contact with this medicine.The queen said that she would let the nuns from the Shenxing Department investigate the matter.At this time, Hai Changzai broke into the Yangxin Hall and insisted that the matter had nothing to do with Ruyi.She revealed that Ruyi's sachet did not contain plumbago pills, but bloodvine powder, so Ruyi could not harm anyone.
The emperor was furious after hearing this and ordered Ruyi to investigate the matter thoroughly.The queen felt chilled, thinking that the emperor blamed Ruyi before the matter was investigated.At this time, the queen noticed that Wang Qin, the chief eunuch, was giving gifts to the maid Lian Xin beside her, and thought that Wang Qin was a person worth winning over.
Li Yu came to Yanxi Palace, and Ruyi personally applied medicine to him and was grateful for his help.Ruyi also reminded Li Yu not to show off his cleverness in front of Wang Qin, and to please Wang Qin after returning home, after all, he was working under him.After experiencing a series of frame-ups, Ruyi deeply felt that life in the palace was not easy and secretly cried.
The emperor came to Yanxi Palace and expressed his apology to Ruyi.He said that he thought that pretending to neglect Ruyi would reduce the jealousy of other concubines, but he did not expect that Ruyi would still be in danger.The emperor promised to be with Ruyi calmly in the future.
The next morning, the emperor showed great care to Ruyi and asked the maid to take good care of her.At this time, news came that a young eunuch serving medicinal materials in the imperial hospital confessed and admitted that he accidentally stained the inner wall of the round platinum with plumbagin powder.Since Su Lian used the upper part, there was no difference; but Mei agreed to use the lower part, and the amount was large, so the injury became more and more serious.Ruyi said that she did not intend to investigate the matter in detail, but would just go with the flow and maintain the peace of the harem.
