Chapter 834 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 24]
Fucha Langhuan's face changed slightly, but she still tried her best to control her emotions and not let this abnormality show in front of everyone. She opened her red lips and said slowly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of the Fourth Prince." Although her voice was calm, it was slightly trembling when listened carefully.
At the same time, seeing this, the other concubines hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, the fourth prince is born!" For a moment, the palace was filled with sounds of congratulations.
Hongli, who was sitting on a high throne, said with a smile on his face: "It is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty that Concubine Zhao gave birth to the fourth prince. I specially confer the title of 'Chen' on her. From now on, you shall call her Concubine Zhaochen. In addition, the fourth prince shall be named Yongxin." After saying that, he looked around, his eyes full of joy.
Ruyi, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this. She subconsciously reached out and gently stroked her abdomen, secretly wondering when she would be pregnant with a dragon child. Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but dim a little.
On this day, Concubine Jia hurried to Fucha Langhuan's bedroom, knelt down and apologized with a look of panic on her face. She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Queen, please calm down. I acted on my own, but I had no choice."
Then, Concubine Jia continued to explain, "The Second Prince is the legitimate son, and his status is extremely noble. In comparison, Concubine Yi is naturally inferior. Moreover, Concubine Yi is now frightened, and she will surely cry and make a fuss every night in the future. In this way, won't it affect the Second Prince's recovery? That's why I have to resort to this last resort. Please forgive me, Queen."
However, after hearing this, Fucha Langhuan frowned and said seriously, "As the head of the six palaces, I should put the royal heir first. Regardless of whether the fetus that Concubine Yi is carrying is a boy or a girl, they are of royal blood and should not be looked down upon. If Concubine Yi can really give birth to a prince, I will definitely raise him myself and teach him carefully so that he can become a pillar of the country."
Gao Xiyue stared at Shuangxi suspiciously and asked sternly, "I heard that a snake appeared in Concubine Yi's palace. Did it escape from your place?"
Shuangxi's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, please understand! The snakes I raised are all non-venomous, and there is not a single one missing!"
After hearing this, Gao Xiyue felt relieved a little. She frowned and ordered coldly: "Even so, you'd better throw these snakes away from me quickly, so as not to give people anything to blame!" Shuangxi quickly agreed and said that he would do it immediately.
On the other side, Ruyi was carefully examining the oil paint that she had ordered to be used to paint the Jingyang Palace. Suddenly, she smelled a strange odor, and after some identification, she determined that the odor was emitted by the snakeberry juice mixed in the oil paint.
Ruyi's eyes fixed, and she thought to herself, "It seems that someone must have done something secretly, which attracted the poisonous snake. This matter is really strange, I must inform the emperor as soon as possible." So, she made a prompt decision and decided to go to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor immediately.
Ruyi came before Hongli, bowed respectfully, and then reported to him in detail about the tampering with the oil paint in an orderly manner.
However, after listening to this, Hongli frowned slightly and sighed, "This matter involves many people and many people are involved. It may not be easy to investigate it thoroughly."
At the same time, Gao Xiyue went to Kunning Palace to visit the second prince. She presented the carefully prepared Cordyceps sinensis with a smile on her face, and exchanged pleasantries with Fucha Langhuan for a long time. When she left Kunning Palace, she happened to meet Jia Guiren.
Concubine Jia came forward and lowered her voice and said, "Sister, don't you think there's something wrong with this? Concubine Yi is living in the Yanxi Palace now. If Ruyi takes advantage of the opportunity to play some tricks and lets Concubine Yi give birth to a prince, then our queen and all the sisters will have a harder time in the future." Gao Xiyue's heart sank after hearing this, and she began to think secretly...
Concubine Jia thoughtfully hinted to Gao Xiyue: "Sister, think about it, if Concubine Yi's baby is in trouble, who will suffer in the end?"
Gao Xiyue was slightly stunned, then realized the deep meaning of Jia Guiren's words and nodded thoughtfully.
Concubine Jia lowered her voice and said, "Also, sister, do you know that Ah Ruo? Her father works for your father! If we use a little trick to bring her into our service, wouldn't that mean we have an extra capable helper?"
On the other hand, Ruyi treated Concubine Yi with great care and caution. Not only did she personally take care of Concubine Yi's daily life, but she also paid special attention to the pregnancy-protecting medicine she took. Every time after boiling the medicine, Ruyi would ask the imperial physician to carefully check the medicine residue, fearing that any mistakes would affect the safety of the fetus.
At the same time, Fucha Langhuan was kneeling devoutly at the door of the locust, silently praying for God's blessing. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and secretly made a wish in her heart that she was willing to shorten her life by 20 years in exchange for the safety of the second prince.
This scene happened to be seen by Hongli who was passing by. He couldn't help but be moved by Fu Cha Langhuan's deep motherly love. Not long after, Hongli heard that the second prince had asthma. He was so anxious that he immediately put down his work and accompanied Fu Cha Langhuan to visit the sick Yonglian.
Before leaving, Hongli specifically instructed the eunuchs around him to tell Ruyi that he could not visit her tonight.
