Chapter 229 I am the Empress of the Qing Dynasty
"What a majestic queen. I am carrying the heir to the throne. How can you just strangle me if the queen says so?"
"According to the Queen's method of governing the six palaces, your aunt, the Queen of Jingren Palace back then, should have strangled the current Queen Mother."
What Ruyi said was a huge joke. The concubines in the harem have always been vying for favor, and Ruyi is incompetent to control them. She always wants to strangle the imperial concubine.
Needless to say, Yan Wan was a royal concubine with an heir.
This hurt Yan Wan to the core, and Yan Wan also hit Ru Yi's sore spot.
"Empress, even though the Queen of Jingren Palace said she wanted to strangle the Empress Dowager, it was because she suspected that the Sixth Prince raised by the Empress Dowager was not of royal blood. The late Emperor was also watching from the sidelines, so he issued this order.
How can you be qualified to strangle the imperial concubine? The emperor hasn't spoken yet."
Concubine Qing had long harbored a grudge against Ruyi for the murder of the Fifth Prince. Before the scandal between the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince broke out, Hai Lan was still vying for Yong Qi, and when they fought, the two of them never even looked at each other.
Concubine Qing mentioned that the emperor intended to intimidate Ruyi, but Ruyi only heard Wei Yanwan say "Queen".
Ruyi patted the table.
"Well done, Wei Yanwan, you finally spoke out your true intentions.
You are plotting to become my queen, so what can't you do?"
As Ruyi spoke, she looked around. Why didn't the people she called to drag Wei Yanwan come? Ruyi shouted angrily outside.
"Where are the people? Why don't you drag this Wei Yanwan, who is confusing right and wrong, away?"
"As for Concubine Qing, I see that she also wants to accompany Wei Yanwan, so I will take her along as well.
Throw Wei Yanwan's children into the Heavenly Prison, and send the Fifth Prince back to Concubine Yu."
Ruyi shouted angrily, and the emperor unexpectedly thought that Ruyi was the same person as Yixiu, who had pointed at Zhen Huan in Jingren Palace and wanted to throw Zhen Huan and her son into the Sky Prison.
What’s funny is that Yixiu remained calm and gave proper commands in the face of danger, so almost everyone believed her accusations. But when it came to Ruyi’s turn, everyone treated her like a clown.
No one moved, just letting her howl.
Ruyi's howling was unresponsive and she was so angry that she sat in the upper seat and tilted her head.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you moving?"
Yan Wan snorted coldly:
"Empress, do you think the Emperor is not here? The Emperor hasn't said a word yet, and you ordered these people to move. Do you think they are not dying fast enough?"
Ruyi didn't think about the logic in Yanwan's words. As long as Yanwan opened her mouth, she wanted to retort.
His mouth was wide open, and his tone was even more impatient than before.
"Wei Yanwan, are you using the emperor to pressure me?
Are you saying that these people only listen to the emperor and not me?"
"I am the Empress of the Qing Dynasty."
"Father Emperor, are you just going to let the Empress do something stupid?"
Jingse got a headache listening to all the stupid things Ruyi said.
Ruyi really thinks the emperor is a piece of shit. Ruyi no longer wants to be on an equal footing with the emperor, but wants to crush the emperor's majesty.
“Ruyi, please sit down. I have never heard of anyone strangling the Imperial Concubine right away.
"Let's not talk about whether Concubine Ling is the murderer or not. Even if she is, she should be questioned, instead of strangling her right away."
The emperor was trying to persuade Ruyi politely. Ruyi didn't appreciate it at all. Her vicious eyes moved to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you not trust me?
Or do you have to favor Wei Yanwan?"
"Ling Yunche has personally seen the Linglingxiang in Jingsi's bracelet, and also discovered the abortion drug in Rongpei's pregnancy-preserving medicine. Isn't this enough to kill Wei Yanwan?"
"I think even if I have solid evidence today, the emperor will not do anything to Wei Yanwan. She is truly a monster."
Ruyi could not produce strong evidence and could not kill Yanwan, so she simply blamed everything on the emperor's greed for beauty and Wei Yanwan's seduction of the emperor.
Anyway, Ruyi didn't believe a word of what she said about Wei Yanwan not harming anyone.
"Where's the evidence? Queen, where's the evidence?
I cannot rely on your and Ling Yunche's one-sided words to convince the Imperial Concubine that she had planned all this.
I will not trust Concubine Ling based on her one-sided statement, so please show me the evidence, Queen."
Ruyi was unwilling to stare at Yan Wan. She finally stopped trying to sentence Yan Wan to death with just her mouth, and took the pearl bracelet that the emperor had just put down from the table in annoyance.
"The evidence is in the bracelet. Your Majesty can just ask the imperial physician to examine it."
"Your Majesty, please don't ask for Doctor Li. Doctor Li is the princess's doctor. It would be better to ask for Doctor Bao instead."
Ruyi has already determined that Doctor Li is Jingse's man and is unwilling to use him. The only doctor she trusts now is Doctor Bao, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
After a moment, Doctor Bao checked the pearl bracelet Jingsi was wearing.
Doctor Bao's examination technique was not difficult. He would pick up a pill with a silver needle, first look at it, then smell it, and finally grind it into powder and then check and smell it again.
"Weird."
Doctor Bao examined the patient and said something to himself. Ruyi seized on this and her eyes sparkled with pride.
"Doctor Bao, just tell me what you found. The Emperor is here, so don't worry."
Ruyi assumed that the imperial physician was afraid to tell the truth because the pearl bracelet was given by Jingsi, and encouraged Imperial Physician Bao.
Doctor Bao glanced at Ruyi and stepped forward to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there is no linden in the bracelet. These incense pills are indeed not ordinary pills..."
"Doctor Bao, you don't have to tell me what that harmful thing is. If it is definitely harmful, then forget it. Throw it away so as not to dirty the emperor's eyes."
Before Doctor Bao could finish his words, Ruyi interrupted him arbitrarily and looked at Wei Yanwan with evil eyes again.
"Wei Yanwan, you have no way to refute this. You should admit what you and the princess did."
Ruyi also glanced at Jingse.
Ruyi's impatience prevented the emperor from making a decision. His intuition told the emperor that the more anxious Ruyi was, the more likely there would be a reversal.
The Emperor and Doctor Bao said:
"Doctor Bao, you go ahead."
Doctor Bao spoke slowly.
"The incense pill in the pearl bracelet Princess Jingsi wears is not Linglingxiang, but a good medicine for strengthening the body. The princess has a heart disease, and she has been safe and sound all these years. I think it's all because of this medicine.
I see that there are several medicines in there that are from the northwest. The princess has put a lot of effort into them."
"How could this be?"
Ruyi didn't even give others a chance to speak, she herself was surprised first.
The emperor thought of a possibility and asked Ruyi.
"Didn't the Queen ask the imperial physician to check?"
Ruyi was stunned. What were she checking?
The emperor knew that Ruyi wanted to harm someone, but she didn't even check the evidence. How stupid.
Jingse sneered at Ruyi.
"Yes. My fifth sister has a heart attack, and I have been asking people to find a solution these years.
To put it bluntly, it’s fortunate that she didn’t follow the Empress Dowager, otherwise we don’t know whether she could grow up healthily.”
Jingse had used Linglingxiang on Jingsi many years ago because a Mongolian doctor said that Linglingxiang could relieve Jingsi's mental illness.
Later, I got a new prescription and replaced the linden in time.
"The pills that Fifth Sister uses are all precious medicines. The Empress Dowager should thank you very much. If you hadn't helped me many times, I wouldn't have been able to get those medicinal materials."
Jingse said the last sentence, but Yanwan never did it.
But Yanwan understood what Jingse meant. Yanwan knelt down and wiped her tears.
Towards Ling Yunche, he said:
"Ling Yunche, I just didn't agree to your request, but you can't hurt me like this."
"What you want me to do is truly a heinous crime punishable by death for all of my clan."
