PFC Chapter 205: Hanpin is a concubine, it is not your turn to feel sorry for her
Chapter 205: Hanpin is a concubine, it is not your turn to feel sorry for her
The autumn wind was howling, and because of the rain, the old maids guarding the Yikun Palace were a little lazy. However, they were not hiding away, but chatting in groups.
It was nothing more than the Queen's own sister poisoning Han Xiang.
No one stopped Li Yu from entering Yikun Palace. He easily met Ruyi and told her about the matter.
Ruyi was thinking all the time why her own sister was so resentful towards her. The words "she is also a concubine" were deeply engraved in her heart.
So after returning from the Ministry of Punishment, she no longer had the heart to look after Hai Lan.
When she heard that Hailan had killed Qingyuan, Ruyi's eyes flashed with Hailan's confusion, and she waved her arms and strode towards the Yanxi Palace.
Hai Lan didn't know what was going on, but when she saw Ruyi, she was so excited that tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Sister, you are here."
"I only gave birth to a princess for my sister. It's my fault for not living up to expectations."
"I have also heard about the death of Concubine Yuan. Please accept my condolences, sister."
Hai Lan admitted her fault angrily and comforted Ruyi.
After giving birth, Hailan went outside and spoke anxiously, and she started coughing.
Ruyi looked at Hailan like this, with resentment flashing in her eyes. She pretended to reach out and rubbed Hailan's back randomly.
"You deserve it."
Ruyi spoke harshly. Hailan understood. She knelt on the ground regardless of her frail body.
"Sister, you know everything."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hai Lan was sincere and humble, but her body could not bear it. The little palace maid who followed her wanted to support her, but Hai Lan pushed her away.
Hai Lan didn't want to appear disrespectful in front of Ruyi.
"Sister, I am sorry to Concubine Yuan and that child.
But she wants to harm my sister, and I can't tolerate her.
She is already dead. If my sister wants to blame someone, just blame me.
I know that you have the responsibility of being the queen, so even if you send me to the Yangxin Palace, I won't complain to you."
Hai Lan dared to act and take responsibility, but Ruyi just breathed in helplessness.
Finally, he stared at Hailan with his blinking eyes and said:
“Qing Yuan had her faults, but why did you hurt the innocent Han Xiangjian?
If you hadn't seduced Qing Yuan, she wouldn't have hurt Han Xiang Jian."
Hailan's knees trembled.
“Sister, don’t you dislike Han Xiangjian?
Since she can't have children, she won't be a threat to her sister. The emperor loves her so much, she will have children sooner or later. She won't be a threat to her sister. "
Ruyi seemed to want to accept what Hailan said, but she was tormented.
Threw out a sentence.
“It’s true that I don’t like Han Xiangjian, but it’s another matter that you hurt her.
If you hurt her, everyone will know that it was me who wanted to harm Han Xiangjian.
I never thought of that.”
Ruyi told the truth. She was already jealous of the emperor and Hanxiang, and the two slaps from the emperor broke her defenses.
"How do you want the emperor to view me from now on?"
Hai Lan looked at Ruyi in confusion and made a rare rebuttal.
"Sister, if Hanpin can still give birth, the emperor will ignore you even more.
Now that Concubine Yuan has taken the blame, the Emperor will sooner or later lose interest in Concubine Han, who is unable to bear children. He will naturally not care about these things anymore."
Hailan's plan was a good one, and Ruyi had no way of refutation. She could only stare at Hailan.
"My lady, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Ruyi was punishing Hai Lan. Ling Yunche heard it at some point and stepped inside.
Hailan straightened her back and knelt upright for the sake of dignity. Ruyi's gaze towards Ling Yunche softened a lot.
"You tell me. We are not outsiders."
Ruyi saw Hailan's embarrassment, but she could do nothing about it.
Ling Yunche stood beside the kneeling Hai Lan.
"Your Highness, I have something to say. Even if Hanpin and Your Highness have a misunderstanding, Master Yu should not have schemed against Hanpin like this. After all, it ruined a woman's life."
Ling Yunche's look of regret did not win Ruyi's sympathy, but instead she looked at him with an incredulous question.
"Ling Yunche, what are you talking about? You've welcomed Hanpin, what else do you have in your mind?
Hanpin is a concubine, it is not your turn to feel sorry for her."
Ling Yunche's steps were unsteady. Ruyi's words took Ling Yunche by surprise. But Ling Yunche was only surprised for a moment and didn't dare to look at Ruyi any more.
She stammered, wanting to say that she agreed with Ruyi, but she couldn't say it.
Ruyi said one more thing in response to Ling Yunche's disbelief.
"Princess Han drank the sterilizing soup because she was not on guard.
I also heard that after she drank the sterilizing soup, she specifically told the emperor not to pursue Qing Yuan's fault. It was she who did not want to give birth to the emperor's heir.
Did you hear her crazy talk? "
Ling Yunche was speechless after hearing what Ruyi said.
He also heard the news that Han Xiang didn't want to bear a child for the emperor.
But he still felt pity for Hanxiang in his heart, but since Ruyi said so, he had to remain silent no matter how reluctant he was.
Ling Yunche persuaded himself to withdraw, but his unwillingness in his heart forced him to take another step forward.
At this moment, Rong Pei pulled Ling Yunche over.
"My lady, I feel that now is not the time for us to be sad here.
Her Majesty handed Concubine Yuan over to Concubine Chun. How does Concubine Chun view people?
Concubine Yuan died peacefully. Concubine Chun was suspected of dereliction of duty.
I heard that Concubine Chun has already gone to the Emperor, and I am afraid that Concubine Chun is waiting for Concubine Yuan to end her life and take the credit."
Ruyi took Rong Pei's words to heart.
He asked the kneeling Hailan:
"Besides Li Yu, did anyone else know about your entry?"
Hailan shook her head.
Ruyi closed her eyes and sighed.
"Noble Concubine Chun was eager for quick success and now that Qing Yuan is dead, she cannot escape responsibility.
I will report to His Majesty that Qing Yuan's death was an accident and ask His Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation.
If I find you, I won't be able to protect you. If I don't find you, it will be Concubine Chun's fault.
In short, I have to give an explanation to Concubine Han and the Emperor."
Rong Pei looked at Ruyi with a puzzled look. Since Concubine Chun was already involved, she should just punish Concubine Chun. Why investigate further? What good would it do to drag Hai Lan into the case?
She wanted to speak, but Ling Yunche and Hai Lan seemed to have no objection to Ruyi's words, so she didn't say anything.
Hai Lan even made Xie Ruyi cry with joy.
“I knew my sister wouldn’t really blame me.
Sister, if I am the one responsible for the crime, I will hand the princess over to you for care. You will definitely love the princess well.
It was worth it that I gave birth to her for my sister."
Rong Pei couldn't understand Hai Lan's mental state. She sighed and looked outside.
In the end, the little maidservant in front of Hai Lan couldn't bear it and whispered:
"Empress, since Concubine Chun is at fault, can our master live?"
Ruyi and Hailan were both stunned, and only then did they realize the loophole in Ruyi's thinking.
In the midst of embarrassment, Ling Yunche stood up again.
"Your Majesty, I also want to say that Eunuch Li told me that Concubine Ling also went to the Ministry of Punishment."
