Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 182 Young Love

The area around the princess' palace was tightly blocked by the guards dispatched by the emperor.

Pink gauze fell in the hall, covering Jingse who was still unconscious on the bed.

Many imperial doctors around were taking turns to treat Jingse, but no one dared to make a conclusion about Jingse's condition.

But just because no one has come to a conclusion doesn't mean that the emperor and everyone present have no doubts in their hearts.

Dizziness and a preference for sour foods were symptoms Jingse had never experienced before.

The biggest possibility is...

However, Jingse has not yet reached the age of marriage. Who on earth dared to deliberately seduce the princess and commit such a filthy thing?

The emperor sat on the couch with a frown on his face, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

The palace maids serving in the Princess' Palace were already kneeling on the ground, led by Qin Sang.

Even though the palace was already crowded, there was total silence. Under the emperor's fury, no one dared to make a sound.

Ruyi brought a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor.

She knew that the emperor couldn't calm down and couldn't drink the tea. But if the tea wasn't to be drunk, it would always go somewhere else.

Sure enough, the emperor took the teacup and threw it at Qin Sang without hesitation.

Poor Qin Sang, a weak palace maid, was hit on the head and bleeding, but she didn't dare to dodge at all.

The scalding hot tea flowed down her cheeks, and tiny bubbles appeared visible beneath the red marks.

Qin Sang shed tears silently, but held the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, trying his best not to make any sound.

Ruyi knelt on the ground and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have already sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Qi.

However, the palace servant reported back that the Imperial Physician Qi is currently checking the Empress Dowager's pulse in the Cining Palace, and it may take a while for him to come over. Your Majesty, please wait patiently for a moment."

The emperor uttered a dull "hmm" and then asked, "Qin Sang is Chengpin's maid, so where is Chengpin?"

Ruyi replied, "Your Majesty, I have also sent people to Jingyang Palace. But Concubine Cheng is still in Cining Palace, so I'm afraid it will take a while for her to arrive."

The emperor sneered, "Oh, she's still in the Cining Palace. In order to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, she has already made the Cining Palace her home."

Ruyi remained silent, but continued to kneel with her head down.

The emperor raised his hand and motioned Ruyi to stand up.

"Okay, Ruyi, get up. I took Jingse's willfulness into consideration and never let you interfere in the affairs of the Princess Palace.

But you are the Imperial Consort, holding the Phoenix Seal and ruling over the six palaces. Ultimately, you are needed to investigate this matter."

Now I think of myself.

Ruyi said in her heart that something was wrong with Zhong Wuyan. Then she stood up and thanked the emperor for his grace.

With a stern face, Ruyi looked down at the palace maids kneeling on the ground.

"I will give you one stick of incense. Whoever first reveals the princess's recent abnormality will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. The rest will be sent to the Xinzheku to do hard labor.

If no one can tell, or if someone uses some insignificant matter to make up the story, he will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and there will be no difference between life and death."

As soon as Ruyi finished speaking, the palace maids below began to whisper.

At Ruyi's glance, Sanbao obeyed the order and quickly took people to separate and take away all the palace servants in the Princess Palace, not allowing them to talk nonsense or collude.

Qin Sang was the only one left in the hall.

"Miss Qin Sang, you are the maid of Concubine Cheng. Logically, you do not belong to this princess' palace. Do you know why I want to interrogate you alone?"

Ruyi's voice was cold and emotionless.

There is no doubt that if Qin Sang dared to tell a lie, Ruyi would immediately punish her with the most severe punishment.

Qin Sang closed his eyes tightly, and then suddenly opened them again.

She seemed to have made up her mind and sighed sadly, "Whatever the Imperial Concubine wants to know, I will tell you frankly.

After all, I have been staying in the princess's palace for these days and have had enough of these things in my heart.

The princess did have a man she liked, and that man was the guard Ma Jia who was in charge of protecting the princess's palace.

The emperor should know this person. The princess once went on a hunger strike to keep him."

The emperor thought of something and his expression became even uglier. Seeing this, Ruyi motioned for Qin Sang to continue.

“However, I have only seen the princess hand-painted portraits of Guard Ma Jia a few times.

As to whether the two of them communicated with each other or whether they had any secret dealings with each other, I did not see it.

Even if I am sent to the Ministry of Punishment, I dare not acknowledge this affair on behalf of the princess."

After hearing what Qin Sang said, Ruyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is normal for a young princess to have romantic thoughts.

But the princess is of royal blood after all. She knows etiquette and abides by the rules. She will definitely not do anything against etiquette and laws.

Moreover, the guards selected by the emperor for the princess's palace are all of excellent character. How could they go against the emperor's wishes and commit those evil deeds that would implicate the clan members and affect the emperor's reputation?

I thought Qin Sang was the one who took care of the princess. She denied it flatly, so Your Majesty should believe her. "

These are the words that the emperor loves to hear. Ruyi deliberately said what the emperor wanted, and the emperor's expression really softened a little.

"Ruyi, I know everything you said. Jingse has always been disrespectful to you. It's amazing that you are willing to speak a fair word for her at this moment."

Ruyi smiled gently, and her eyes were full of lingering affection as she looked at the emperor.

At this moment, Qin Sang interrupted at an inopportune moment and said, "It is my fault that I failed to report this matter to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine in a timely manner.

But today, I dare to defend myself."

This sentence made Ruyi look up to her for once.

Qin Sang is indeed a smart person. She knows that today's incident involves royal secrets and she cannot escape the blame. She is trying to make up for her mistakes and find a scapegoat for herself.

Qin Sang's eyes showed a desperate determination, and she said in a deep voice, "I am the maid of Concubine Cheng and also the servant of Fu Cha. Naturally, I have to consider Concubine Cheng and Fu Cha in everything.

I have been serving Concubine Cheng since I was a child, and it has been more than ten years now.

However, since entering the palace, Concubine Cheng has been thinking every day about how to become the queen and fulfill the glory of the Fucha family, and her temperament is no longer as gentle as before.

In private, he was even more perverse, cursing the Imperial Concubine with foul language, and forcing me to do things I didn't want to do..."

"What's the matter?" The emperor was impatient to listen to Qin Sang's nonsense and urged in a cold voice.

Qin Sang kowtowed and then said, "For example, the princess pretended to be sick to keep Doctor Qi, which was done by Concubine Cheng and the princess together.

In order to embarrass the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Cheng ordered the maids to give the princess medicine and fake her illness. Then, she used the princess's power to place the imperial physician Qi under house arrest, not allowing him to be controlled by the Imperial Concubine.

All that Chengpin did was to give the Imperial Noble Consort a reputation of being incompetent in managing the palace so that she could compete for favor and the throne in the future.

If not for this, even if Concubine Feng had a miscarriage, she wouldn't necessarily have died."
