Chapter 843 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 33]
Fu Cha Lang Huan solemnly ordered her subordinates to take Ruyi to Jingqi Pavilion next to the cold palace and place her there properly, and quickly summoned the imperial physician to treat her. After arranging all this, she hurried to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor.
Entering the Yangxin Palace, Fucha Langhuan bowed respectfully to Hongli, and then asked softly: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to call the imperial physician to treat Concubine Xian. I just don't know how Your Majesty plans to deal with this matter? Are you going to let Concubine Xian immediately restore her previous status, or do you have another way?"
Hongli frowned slightly and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He wanted to directly order Ruyi to restore her original position, but his mind involuntarily emerged the scene of Ruyi being seen by many people in public and even being held in the arms of a guard in public, and he couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Fu Cha Lang Huan, who was standing by, keenly caught Hong Li's hesitation, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Your Majesty, the cold palace is now severely damaged. Even if Concubine Xian still needs to live here, it must be repaired first. So I took the initiative to let Concubine Xian live in Jingqi Pavilion next to the cold palace for the time being."
Hongli nodded slightly, indicating his approval, and said, "If that's the case, then let's arrange it this way for now. After all, the suspicion that Ruyi bears has not yet been completely cleared."
Fu Cha Lang Huan quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty is right. I will follow His Majesty's will." After that, she looked at Hong Li carefully, as if trying to guess more from his expression. However, Hong Li's face was as calm as water at this moment, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the palace was a little subtle. The other concubines in the harem were expecting the emperor to release the imprisoned Ruyi directly, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations - the emperor simply changed Ruyi's house arrest. Even so, this seemed to be a good ending for those who did not like Ruyi.
At the same time, in Xianfu Palace, A Ruo was filled with fear and anxiety. She knew that if Ruyi could escape one day, she would not let her go easily. So, she hurried to seek Gao Xiyue's help and discuss countermeasures together.
As soon as she saw Gao Xiyue, A Ruo couldn't wait to speak: "Your Majesty! We spent so much effort to put Concubine Xian into that cage. No matter what, we must not let her have the chance to see the light of day again! Otherwise, if the fact that you instructed me to frame Concubine Xian before is exposed, both of us will be in trouble!"
However, facing A Ruo's desperate pleas, Gao Xiyue angrily rebuked: "Mrs. Shen, when you sold out your master for fame and fortune, didn't you expect this would be the outcome today? Even though you have become the master now, in my eyes, you will always be that lowly person with a humble background and low moral character! Don't forget, your father and brother are still in my father's hands!"
After hearing this, although Ah Ruo was unwilling to accept it, she did not dare to say anything more and could only grumble in grievance: "My queen, you can't just watch me fall into despair and not help me..."
At this moment, Jiapin, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly interrupted and said softly, "In my opinion, the most critical issue at the moment is to ensure that Xianpin cannot escape from the place of house arrest. As for the rest, it will not be too late to discuss it later."
Ah Ruo opened her red lips and said, "How difficult is this? All we need to do is bribe a few guards and disguise it as a suicide. In this way, no one will know about it and no one will be able to find out anything!"
Jiapin shook her head repeatedly and retorted in a tender voice: "Not right, not right. Wouldn't it be too easy for Xianpin to act this way? Not to mention that the emperor will definitely send someone to protect her, if there is any mistake in this matter, I am afraid it will be a wedding dress for others!"
Gao Xiyue frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, and couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do according to Sister Jiapin's intention?"
Jiapin's eyes moved, a sly smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she lowered her voice and said slowly: "Sister, you don't know, I heard that when Concubine Xian came out of the cold palace that day, she was carried out by a guard. Think about it, if we use a little trick to make some pretext to encourage the two of them to accomplish something good, and then try to lead the emperor to the place where the incident happened. By then, there is no need for us to do anything, and Concubine Xian will definitely be severely punished or even sentenced to death by the furious emperor!"
"That's fine, but who will carry out the key steps?" Gao Xiyue frowned slightly, looking at A Ruo and Jiapin, and asked in confusion. Her delicate face showed a trace of thought, as if she was weighing the ability and reliability of the two people.
Upon hearing this, A'ruo's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and volunteered: "In that case, let me go and give him the medicine! Although this is risky, I will definitely fulfill my mission. But... after it's done, who should the emperor send to invite him?" Her voice was crisp and firm, revealing a courageous spirit.
At this moment, Gao Xiyue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth, and said confidently: "Of course there is no need to worry about this matter. I will go there myself and call the sisters in the harem to go together. Then we can watch this wonderful show together!" After that, she gently stroked the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.
At this time, A Ruo and Jiapin left Xianfu Palace in a hurry. However, before the remaining three people could make any move, a shocking news came from Jingqi Pavilion: Ruyi was poisoned! After hearing this news, Hongli's heart tightened, and he instantly threw away the slight awkwardness in his heart. He stood up without hesitation and hurried to Jingqi Pavilion. He was full of anxiety and just wanted to see Ruyi's current condition as soon as possible.
When Hongli arrived at Jingqi Pavilion, he saw Imperial Physician Jiang standing beside the bed with a serious face. Seeing the emperor coming, Imperial Physician Jiang hurriedly bowed and reported to Hongli: "Your Majesty, after my preliminary diagnosis, the poison that Lady Xian was poisoned with this time was arsenic. Fortunately, the dose she took was not too much, and her life is not in danger for the time being."
When Hongli heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why hasn't Ruyi woken up yet?"
Doctor Jiang quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Lady Xian is still in a coma. Although the amount of poison is not large, some of it has been absorbed into her body. This small amount of toxin still needs the help of drugs to slowly metabolize it out of the body, so she is temporarily unable to wake up. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as you follow the prescription I prescribed, I believe that Lady Xian will be able to recover soon."
After hearing this, Hongli's expression eased a little. He looked at Ruyi who was unconscious on the bed with worry in his eyes, and then solemnly instructed Doctor Jiang: "Okay, then Ruyi's case is completely in your hands. You must do your best and make sure to cure her for me! If there is any mistake, I will not forgive you easily!"
Doctor Jiang sensed the majesty in Hongli's words, and hurriedly knelt down again and kowtowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to fulfill my mission, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
