Wang Qin collides with the imperial concubine
In the deep palace, a contest about power, status and suspicion quietly unfolded.The Emperor, as the supreme ruler, every decision he makes affects the fate of countless people.In this incident, Mei Guiren's experience became the trigger of this contest.
The emperor's sudden change in Mei Guiren was not only to clear her mind, but the deeper reason may be his distrust of the rumors in the palace and his absolute control over power.He moved Mei Guiren to Anhua Hall, which was actually a kind of house arrest and observation for her.The queen's trust in Wang Qin reflects her prestige and status in the palace. She firmly believes that her cronies will not betray her.
However, the rumors in the palace are like an undercurrent, constantly surging.From the conversation between Aruo and Jiagui, we can feel the jealousy and comparison in the palace.Although Ah Ruo is beautiful, she does not have a master like Yi Guiren, which makes her dissatisfied.And Jia Guiren's instigation deepened A Ruo's resentment towards Ru Yi.
Under the emperor's inquiry, Doctor Qi admitted that he might have leaked the rumor, but he was willing to bear all punishment.This not only reflects his loyalty to the emperor, but also exposes his helplessness and vulnerability in the palace.The emperor reminded him not to walk around the palace in the near future, which was actually a kind of protection for him and a warning to him.
Mei Guiren prayed in front of the Buddha. Her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.She claimed that someone was going to harm her, but in fact, she might just be using this method to arouse the emperor's sympathy and mercy.The Queen Mother's reminder to her made her realize that her fate was no longer in her hands and she needed to be more careful.
Ruyi's encounter in the palace is a microcosm of this contest.She was involved in the center of rumors and became a pawn in the fight between the emperor and the noble concubine.She insisted that she had not leaked a word, but Wang Qin insisted.The emperor's distrust and the imperial concubine's aggressiveness put her in a dilemma.Her choice to self-impose herself was actually a helpless choice, and it was also to protect herself and her status.
During the period of confinement, Ruyi did not give up her pursuit of the truth.She asked Li Yu to find Lian Xin, hoping to find clues.The appearance of Lian Xin brought a new turning point to this contest.Her testimony and Wang Qin's madness made the emperor begin to suspect that there might be a deeper conspiracy behind the entire incident.
In the end, Wang Qin's madness and Lian Xin's testimony made the emperor realize that there might be a larger conspiracy behind this contest.He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly and clear Ruyi's name.The ambition of the imperial concubine and the calmness of the queen were also fully demonstrated in this contest.Although Ruyi is temporarily out of trouble, she knows that the competition in the palace will never stop, and she needs to be more careful in order to gain a foothold in this war without gunpowder.
