Yan Wan charms the emperor
Deep in the palace, Queen Ruyi began to notice some subtle changes.The emperor has frequently conferred many blessings and permanent presences recently, and the number of blessings has increased more than before.Ruyi couldn't help but start to worry about the emperor's health.At the same time, Rong Pei brought good news to Ruyi, saying that she was very happy.This news made Ruyi feel a little more relaxed. She immediately told Rong Pei to let Dr. Jiang take good care of Lingxin and not to rush back to the palace to work on errands.
However, the peace in the palace did not last long.Concubine Chun came to see Ruyi and mentioned that the emperor had been feeling unwell recently, which could not be improved even after taking tonics.Although Ruyi didn't know exactly what tonic the emperor drank, she promised to persuade him.The emperor himself was deeply depressed, and expressed dissatisfaction with the tonics prescribed by Imperial Physician Jiang, believing that they were ineffective.Dr. Jiang explained that he did not dare to use too much medicine for the sake of the emperor's dragon body.However, the emperor mentioned the past that the late emperor had mixed deer blood with wine, and seemed very dissatisfied with Dr. Jiang's attitude.
At this critical moment, Yan Wan prepared deer blood wine for the emperor and asked Jin Zhong to inform the emperor.After hearing the news, the emperor immediately went to Yangxin Hall.At the same time, Concubine Jia's body also appeared strange. Her menstruation was delayed and she was very likely to become pregnant again.She believed that Ruyi was targeting her everywhere now, so in order to protect the fetus in her belly, she decided to wait until she was older before reporting it to the emperor.
Ruyi learned that Yanwan used deer blood wine to please the emperor, and that the emperor was currently in the Yongshou Palace, she immediately went to the Yongshou Palace.Unexpectedly, Ruyi bumped into the scene where the emperor summoned the four concubines to sleep with him.Yanwan knelt in front of Ruyi to plead guilty, and Ruyi asked about the emperor's whereabouts.Yanwan said that the emperor had fallen asleep drunk.Ruyi angrily reprimanded Yanwan for cutting the deer blood wine and letting the emperor drink it. He also accused the concubines of not wanting to persuade and flattering, with bad intentions.
At this moment, the emperor walked out of the palace, explained that he only drank tonic because he was weak, and asked everyone to go back to the palace.However, Ruyi insisted on punishing the concubines and made the emperor drink sobering soup.The emperor was very unhappy about this and knocked over the sobering soup that Ruyi was carrying.Although Ruyi was unsteady, luckily someone from the palace helped her in time.She insisted that she felt sorry for the emperor's body, but the emperor didn't care and asked Ruyi to go back to the palace to think about her mistakes.
Ruyi refused to give in and voluntarily knelt before the emperor to be punished.The emperor asked Ruyi to kneel here and followed Yanwan into the room.The emperor believed that Ruyi was using his status as queen to threaten him, and was very dissatisfied with this.Ruyi felt dizzy after kneeling for a long time and collapsed to the ground.When the emperor heard the sound, he immediately came to help Ruyi and drank a sobering drink to prevent Ruyi from being smoked.
After Ruyi woke up, she was very happy to know that she had been blessed.The emperor also apologized for his gaffe and promised Ruyi to take good care of his body in the future.In order to punish Yan Wan, the emperor removed her green card.After Concubine Jia learned about the queen's happiness, she lamented that no one would cherish her child in the future, and could only hope that she would give birth to a prince again.
At night, Yan Wan ran to the emperor's chariot to plead for mercy, but the emperor accused her of seducing the emperor and ignored her.Ruyi and the emperor felt very relieved after untying their knot, but they were still worried about when the emperor's worries about growing old would be resolved.Rong Pei comforted her that taking good care of Long Zi was the most important thing now.
Concubine Jia informed the emperor that she had been lucky for three months, and the emperor ordered Concubine Jia to be punished.The Queen Mother mentioned that no one has been waiting for the Emperor recently and proposed a draft.The emperor also agreed to the draft and ordered people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle it without letting the Queen Mother interfere.The Queen Mother felt that the emperor was alienated from her and felt very chilled.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu came to visit Ruyi. Hailan said that she made children's clothes for Ruyi every year, hoping that Ruyi would be happy soon.Doctor Jiang said that the emperor was in good health and did not need to take tonic medicine anymore. He only needed to rest peacefully.The emperor lamented that Ruyi could always stay awake and advised him.Doctor Jiang also mentioned that Brother Ten had improved, and the emperor was relieved.
Yan Wan, who has fallen out of favor, is now also being ignored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Just when she felt helpless, her mother-in-law came to ask for money, which made her even more embarrassed.A draft was held in the palace, but the princess selected by Fujia failed to pass the screening.It turned out that the emperor had ordered not to select the daughters of powerful ministers, the daughters of previous officials, and women with low status. The Queen Mother lamented that the emperor was too defensive.
