Chapter 234: Prince Rui's Revenge on the Crown Prince
Yin Ruyi has learned how to survive in the cracks these past two days. She didn't show it on her face and said quickly,
"Thank you Miss Mian'er. Please thank the prince for me. I will definitely live up to the prince's trust and entrustment.
I will definitely assist Concubine Li in managing the inner courtyard of the Rui Palace."
"Well, Concubine Yin, I will tell the prince. You are busy, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Mian'er squatted down slightly and bowed. Without waiting for Yin Ruyi to say anything else, she turned around and walked out of the gate of Lanyuan leisurely.
Yin Ruyi watched Prince Rui's personal maid leave, seeming to be lost in thought.
*
The two maids, Linghua and Binghua, who had been lying on the ground, were already shocked by the news conveyed by Mian'er.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he forgot the pain in his body for a moment.
I didn’t expect that! Never imagined!
Concubine Yin, who was beaten by the prince twice and almost went to see the King of Hell, unexpectedly had such a great fortune again.
Being in charge of the household affairs is an honor that all the inner court masters want to get! So what does Prince Rui mean to Concubine Yin? !
The two of them have limited brain circuits, how could they understand such profound meaning?
However, after the two maids Linghua and Binghua looked at each other, they suddenly had hope of survival.
The two crawled forward a few more steps, then propped up their weak bodies lying on the ground, knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Yin Ruyi, and said in a hoarse voice,
"I congratulate Concubine Yin. Congratulations to Concubine Yin for being able to take charge of the household. This shows that the prince trusts you!"
"Yes, Concubine Yin, both of us are happy for you!"
The two raised their heads, looked at Concubine Yin who had attracted their attention, and kowtowed together and begged,
"Concubine Yin, please save us two servants. We don't want to die! Please have mercy. Save us?"
After saying that, he kowtowed several times and said in a crying voice,
"Concubine Yin, if we can get through this time, we will obey your orders and serve you like slaves."
*
Yin Ruyi looked at the two maids lying on the ground, almost dying, and her mind was in turmoil.
Thinking about how I was surviving alone in this palace in the dark.
It won't work if there aren't a few loyal people.
Then he thought of the time when he was injured and unconscious, and the house was in a mess with no one in charge.
It was these two maids who applied medicine to themselves and stopped the bleeding on their forehead.
She hesitated for a moment and then said,
“I know that you used your own medicine to stop the bleeding on my forehead.
No matter what your reasons are for helping me, I am grateful in my heart.
Today, the prince has gained his trust and has given me and Concubine Li the power to jointly manage the household affairs. I, the concubine, should also have some say.
All right! I will make an exception this time and disobey the prince's order to let you fend for yourself. I will send someone out of the palace to invite a doctor. But life or death depends entirely on your own luck."
Linghua and Binghua were overjoyed when they heard this. They opened their cracked and bleeding lips and excitedly kowtowed their heads one after another like pounding garlic.
"Thank you! Thank you, Concubine Yin! You are our second parents.
Your great kindness and generosity will be remembered in our hearts for the rest of our lives. We will never forget it."
After saying that, the two maids kowtowed vigorously again, "bang bang bang".
"That's enough! If you two keep knocking, you'll go to see the King of Hell."
Hearing this, Linghua raised her head and said with tears of gratitude,
"Don't worry, Concubine Yin! When we are well again, we will tell you everything that happened in the inner courtyard of the palace."
Yin Ruyi pretended to be uninterested and said,
"Well, no hurry! You two go back to your room and wait! I will quietly send someone out to call a doctor when I have time."
"Thank you, Concubine Yin. Thank you, Concubine Yin."
The two of them kowtowed several times.
*
Yin Ruyi said yes, ignored the two maids on the ground, turned around and walked into the main house.
She opened the brocade box and looked at it, then raised the corners of her lips.
She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, hahaha… no matter who helped her, as long as there was wealth and glory, she would grab at that straw even at the risk of her life.
Although Qingge was filled with hatred, he had already made a straw man behind his back, written Qingge's birth date on it, and kept pricking the scarecrow with fine needles.
The wound on Yin Ruyi's gloomy face was pulled. She covered her cheek with her hand in pain with a "hiss" and then laughed again.
What she didn't know was that the birth date of Fang Qingge that she had worked so hard to obtain was actually that of the deceased second daughter of the Yangzhou prefect.
Regardless of whether it was witchcraft or the art of exorcism, Yin Ruyi's evil intentions were doomed to fail.
*
Yin Ruyi took over part of the management power in the inner courtyard of Prince Rui's Palace that day.
She was originally a noble lady who was brought up since childhood, and these matters in the inner house were trivial and difficult to manage.
But as long as she has power in her hands, she will use her power to bully others and use thundering means to make people obey.
In just a few days, Yin Ruyi became lively again.
My body recovered quickly.
The scars on the body and face were healed with the best medicine.
In addition, the steward in the big kitchen was trying his best to please her, so her nutrition was adequate and her injuries naturally healed.
Under the joint management of Concubine Li and Concubine Yin, the Rui Palace seemed to be calm on the surface, and was not thrown into chaos by the sudden death of the princess.
*
From the second day after the princess' death, Liang Hengrui was so busy that he locked himself in the outer study and whispered with his adviser Jiang Bai.
It looks like there is something important to deal with.
He would occasionally stand in front of Princess Rui's mourning hall and pretend to be sad.
*
That day, Prince Rui quietly entered the palace again and went straight to Ruyi Palace.
In the inner hall, Concubine Xiao looked at her son's haggard and exhausted appearance and said distressedly,
"My dear, why did you drive all the palace maids out? What's the reason for being so mysterious?"
Liang Hengrui looked at Concubine Xiao solemnly and said,
"Mother, I know you are smart and have many strange things in your hands. This time, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Mother, you said that day that we can no longer sit and wait for death. So after discussing with Mr. Jiang, I thought of taking advantage of the princess's mourning period to lure the prince out again."
Prince Rui said this, raised his hand and made a knife-like gesture, and then looked at Concubine Xiao with burning eyes.
*
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao raised her delicate eyebrows, but said in disapproval,
"Can we succeed if we lure him out again?
You also know that he has managed to escape crisis after crisis. Mother is afraid that this time we may not consider and prepare well enough, and instead alert the enemy.
My son, if you rush into this, it will end badly! Don't worry! Mother has been planning all along!"
