Aruo betrayed Ruyi
Deep in the palace, a struggle for power, status and children is unfolding.The sudden death of Yi Guiren's child plunged the entire palace into grief and suspicion.As a result, the queen lost one hope and was very sad.The imperial doctor's diagnosis showed that the dragon fetus had taken shape, but the umbilical cord and the dragon fetus were all blue-black, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.This incident immediately attracted the attention of the palace.
At the same time, Jia Guiren learned that she was pregnant, which undoubtedly injected new impetus into this struggle.The Queen Mother heard that the noble lady Yi had lost her son and ordered the Queen to investigate the matter in detail.Because Yi Guiren lived in Yanxi Palace, the emperor decided to start the investigation from Yanxi Palace.After Yi Guiren lost her child, she was in a daze and cried bitterly while holding the clothes she had made for her child. Her grief and despair infected the entire palace.
The queen summoned Ruyi to Changchun Palace, where everyone gathered to discuss the ins and outs of Yi Guiren's affairs.The queen revealed that Yi Guiren was poisoned by mercury. The carbon ash burned in Yi Guiren's room contained cinnabar, and cinnabar contained mercury.This discovery shocked everyone and gave the queen an opportunity to overthrow Concubine Xian.
As the investigation deepened, the eunuch reported to the emperor that both Mingyi Guiren and Mei Guiren liked to eat fish and shrimp when they were pregnant, but the fish and shrimp provided to Yi Guiren were dead and thrown out.The eunuch found the remaining small bag of fish and shrimp, and the queen ordered him to take it to the imperial physician for examination. After examining it, the imperial physician said that it also contained cinnabar.This discovery further confirmed the queen's suspicion of Concubine Xian.
The queen decided to search all the concubines' palaces to find more evidence.At this time, Su Lian found a box of cinnabar from under the drawer of Ruyi's dressing table.Su Lian also brought Xiao Luzi, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi, and they all pointed out that Ruyi ordered them to put cinnabar on the fish and shrimp.Xiao Fuzi also revealed that Concubine Xian threatened his brother's life and asked him to put cinnabar in the red charcoal.Xiao Anzi also pointed out that Concubine Xian had asked for a lot of cinnabar from her after Mei Guiren's wedding.
Faced with the accusations from everyone, Ruyi fell into a desperate situation.However, the emperor did not believe these testimonies easily. He believed that the testimonies of only three people could not be counted.The queen suggested that A Ruo be brought for questioning. A Ruo is Ruyi's personal maid, and her testimony may play a key role.
Ah Ruo knelt in front of the emperor, the queen mother and the empress, accusing Ruyi of being resentful since she was banned, encouraging her eldest brother to fight for favors and heirs, and forcing herself to do things she didn't want to do.She claimed that she really couldn't stand what Ruyi was doing, so she exposed Ruyi in front of everyone.Ah Ruo said that Ruyi valued the emperor's first prince after he ascended the throne, so he ordered Xiaoluzi and Xiaofuzi to remove Guizi.She also accused Ruyi of wanting to seize the legitimate son after raising her elder brother. After hearing the news that her second elder brother had asthma, she cursed day and night.
Aruo's testimony put Ruyi into even more trouble.When Yi Guiren heard that Ruyi had harmed her own child, she accused her of being a scorpion-hearted person and then passed out from grief.Mei Guiren also rushed forward and slapped Ruyi. Yi Guiren, the concubine and others all asked the emperor to severely punish Concubine Xian.Haiguiren and Chunbi plead for Ruyi, saying that Ruyi is not such a person.The emperor was very embarrassed for a while.
Ruyi didn't know what to do and could only say that she had never done it.The emperor said that he believed that Concubine Xian's matter needed to be investigated in detail.The Queen Mother insisted on dealing with Concubine Xian and ordered her to be demoted to a noble house and imprisoned in Yanxi Palace, but the Emperor had no choice but to agree.Yi Guiren moved out of Yanxi Palace. Ruyi felt wronged and sat in front of the window in a daze.
A Ruo's impeccable words were spoken in the Changchun Palace. Hai Guiren said that now he doesn't even know who A Ruo is colluding with.Ruyi analyzed that the imperial concubine might have harmed Mei Guiren, but the imperial concubine and Yi Guiren had nothing to do with each other.Hai Gui people said that it might be because the imperial concubine wanted to use the death of the two princes to frame Ruyi.Now that Ruyi has completely fallen out of favor, Hai Guiren still decides to stay with Ruyi and stay with her.
The emperor ordered someone to find Aunt Yuhu to investigate the matter in detail.Aunt Yuhu is the old man in the palace and knows everything about the affairs of the palace.The emperor hoped that she could find out the truth and restore the truth of the matter.
Ah Ruo was tortured in the Shenxing Division but still insisted that it was Ruyi who killed the emperor's heir.At this time, Aunt Yuhu came to check on Aruo.The imperial concubine asked the queen to raise her eldest brother. The queen said that she would plan for her, but it still depended on the emperor's wishes.The queen said that it was also very important for Ah Ruo to contribute a lot to move Concubine Xian to Concubine Xian.It turns out that on the day A Ruo was forced to kneel in the rain by the imperial concubine, the nobleman brought A Ruo to the Queen's Palace to intercede for her.After that, Ah Ruo resented Concubine Xian for being grateful to the queen.
Aunt Yuhu came back and reported to the emperor that someone wanted A Ruo to die in the Shenxing Division. The emperor decided to save A Ruo first.
