The imperial concubine is terminally ill
In ancient palaces, gorgeous costumes and exquisite accessories became symbols of identity and status.One day, Ruyi received a new dress from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She said calmly that she did not pay special attention to the dress, but she did not expect that it would cause a turmoil in the palace.
Concubine Jia, a very scheming woman in the court, stirred up trouble.Although the queen did not show any displeasure after Ruyi left, the seeds of dissatisfaction had already been planted in her heart.She ordered her servants to remove the Yao Huang Mudan from the palace, which symbolized a certain change in power and status.
Yan Wan, a woman unknown in the court, was ordered to remove the flowers.However, she accidentally bumped into a guard while carrying it, causing the vase to fall and the pieces to scatter.The queen seized this opportunity and ordered people to punish Yan Wan, accusing her of not knowing the rules.Yan Wan defended herself by saying that it was her first time coming with Concubine Xian and she was not familiar with the rules of the palace.
Concubine Jia took the opportunity to interject. Since Yan Wan liked Ruyi so much, she named her Ying'er and transferred her to her palace.However, this is not preferential treatment to Yan Wan, but another form of torture.Concubine Jia often mentioned Ruyi when the queen was angry, which further angered the queen and made Yan Wan's life even more difficult.
Concubine Jia, this palace maid who had a deep relationship with the prince, although she was in the Qing Dynasty, her heart was tied to the prince far away.She once gave up her relationship with the prince and married into the palace for the sake of the future of her mother's family.However, she could never forget that old relationship in her heart.
At the same time, the Queen Mother was also secretly investigating the cause of Narbu's death.It turns out that Narbu was killed by Gao Bin.But for the sake of the peace of the harem, the Queen Mother decided not to expose the matter for the time being.
Concubine Jia learned from Concubine Chun that Yan Wan had seduced the emperor, so she treated her harshly in front of everyone.Everyone threw their dirty clothes to Yan Wan and asked her to wash them.At night, Concubine Jia ordered Yan Wan to wash her feet and even asked her to hold candles and keep vigil in the palace.
Ling Yunche, the loyal guard, has been looking for Yan Wan's whereabouts.One day, he saw Yan Wan with a maid from Qixiang Palace. There were scars on her arms, and the people next to her called her Ying'er.Ling Yunche told Ruyi about this, and Ruyi realized that all of this was for him.
When the Dragon Boat Festival came, the queen gave sachets and five-poison cakes to the concubines.Concubine Jia made Ying'er kneel down in front of everyone and held up the Five Poison Cake for her to take. This was undoubtedly another humiliation for Yan Wan.Ruyi proposed to let Ying'er follow her, but Concubine Jia did not agree.
Later, Hailan told Ruyi that Yanwan had seduced the emperor, and then she was transferred to the flower room.After Ruyi heard this, her sympathy and pity for Yanwan gradually disappeared.
Concubine Chun gave birth to her sixth brother. The Queen Mother was very happy and asked the queen to visit Concubine Chun in her palace.The queen saw the happy scene between the emperor and the pure concubine, and couldn't help but think of her own child.She was eager to have a legitimate son with the emperor, so she increased the dose of pregnancy-inducing drugs.However, due to being too impatient and taking too much nourishment, she suddenly suffered a nosebleed.
During the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician, the queen asked about the concubine's current condition.The imperial doctor told her that the imperial concubine would not survive this winter.The imperial concubine lay in bed, feeling weak, but the emperor never came to visit her.She knew that the emperor had forgotten her, and her heart was filled with endless sadness.
A few days later, several maids in the imperial concubine's palace died of scabies.The imperial concubine's condition became increasingly serious, and she knew that she would soon die.So, she ordered Mo Xin to send a message, saying that she still wanted to see the emperor.However, whether this wish can be realized is unknown.
Amidst the disputes and love-hate intertwining in the court, how are the fates of Ruyi and Yanwan intertwined?Can they find their own way out of this palace turmoil?All the answers are hidden in this deep palace.
