Chapter 128: Escorting the Crown Prince to the Capital
As for Jin Yuyan, after being imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, she seemed to have lost her soul, staring at the wall all day long in a daze without saying a word.
He was in a daze, refusing to eat or drink, and was about to collapse.
The emperor didn't know whether Jin Yuyan was really crazy or pretending, so he finally ordered Qi Ru to go and treat her.
As a result, Jin Yuyan was diagnosed by Doctor Qi as suffering from postpartum qi stagnation and depression.
That is what people often say, going crazy.
That's why their moods often change and they become irritable and easily angered.
To the point of becoming uncontrollable and committing irrational violent acts.
For example, in public, he pushed down the pregnant Concubine Xiu.
After hearing this, the emperor temporarily suspended the punishment of Jin Yuyan.
Instead, he ordered the Ministry of Justice to use any means to make Jeong-sook and Li Xin confess all the evil deeds that Jin Yuyan had done.
When Ruyi knew this, she just curled the corners of her lips slightly.
Her eyes fell on the pretty and gentle惢心 standing beside her, and Ruyi suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
In her previous life, Jin Yuyan falsely accused Ruyi of having an affair with the master, and ordered her to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment, where she was tortured so severely that her broken leg could never be restored.
Thinking of this, Ruyi called Sanbao and sternly ordered, "Go get some silver and bribe the people in the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhenshu and Lixin are accomplices to the evil, so there is no need to be polite to them.
Do not be stingy with punishments such as beatings, floggings, and pepper spray.
Even if the legs are broken by the clamps, it doesn’t matter. Everything is for the sake of seeking the truth, no matter how much torture is used.”
These words are very inconsistent with Ruyi's previous gentle image.
Sanbao shuddered unconsciously, but didn't dare to ask any more questions and went to do it immediately.
Suo Xin was a little confused, so she brought a cup of hot tea to Ruyi and asked carefully, "My dear, why are you so angry today?
If the Emperor knew about this, would it be a problem?"
Ruyi lowered her eyes and blew gently on the floating tea leaves, "No problem.
Jin Yuyan intended to use cinnabar to murder my prince Yongqi, but I just wanted revenge and was not afraid of letting the emperor know.
Even if the Emperor knew that I had ordered the Ministry of Punishment to use severe punishment and misunderstood me for a moment, he would still feel guilty later because of Li Xin's confession.
The Emperor's thoughts are easy to guess."
Suoxin nodded in confusion.
When Ruyi does anything, she always looks three steps ahead and tries to think everything through as much as possible.
Although her thoughts became increasingly deep and unpredictable, this was also a helpless move in order to survive safely in the deep palace.
Jeong-sook is a tough person and is truly loyal to Kim Yoo-yeon.
She gritted her teeth and did not utter a word against Jin Yuyan until she was tortured to death by the Ministry of Punishment.
Although Li Xin managed to endure several punishments at first, she finally succumbed to Nanny Jingqi's various tactics.
She told him everything she knew.
After all, Li Xin was Jin Yuyan's personal maid. Although she did not participate in many things personally, she knew a thing or two.
Zhenshu was indeed a female doctor from the Yu family. She also found the golden-winged white orchid, ground it into powder, and gave it to Xiupin at Jin Yuyan's instruction.
Also, before that, when Concubine Yu was giving birth, Concubine Jia tried to send Jiang Yubin away. She wanted to use Doctor Xu to make Concubine Yu give birth but failed, so she ordered Yu's messenger to kill Doctor Xu.
She hid reed catkins on her body and killed the second prince Yonglian when no one was paying attention.
She instigated Concubine Hui and used A Ruo to spread rumors and frame Ruyi as an ominous person.
He ordered Xiao Luzi from the imperial kitchen and Xiangyun from Concubine Yu's side to put cinnabar in Ruyi's fish and shrimp in an attempt to harm the baby in her belly, but to no avail.
… …
The only thing Li Xin refused to admit was the affair with the prince of Yu family.
It was only said that Jin Yuyan met someone from her mother's clan and she missed her hometown, so they talked for a few words, and there was no personal feelings between them.
The emperor read Li Xin's confession over and over again, and anyone could feel the tremendous anger he was suppressing in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yuyan actually wanted to assassinate the fourth prince Yongji and the fifth prince Yongqi.
If it weren't for Ruyi's cleverness and caution, I'm afraid these two princes would not have been born smoothly.
The emperor was originally a little surprised that Ruyi asked the Ministry of Punishment to take such a cruel action, but now he understands a little bit.
Maybe Ruyi had known about this for a long time, but because she had no evidence or did not want to embarrass the emperor, she kept it to herself.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt even more guilty towards Ruyi.
On the other hand, although Li Xin did not admit that Jin Yuyan and the prince of the Yu family had an affair, the emperor was suspicious and always had doubts in his heart.
The emperor guessed that perhaps Jin Yuyan trusted Zhenshu, who was also from the Yu family, more, so Li Xin really didn't know about her past with the Yu family's prince, which was why she kept denying it.
A gloomy atmosphere spread in the Yangxin Palace. The emperor lowered his head and held his forehead with his hands. His thoughts were terribly heavy under his furrowed brows.
In the end, the emperor ordered Li Xin to be beaten to death.
At the same time, on the grounds that Jin Yuyan, a tribute girl of the Yu clan, had lost her chastity and violated the virtues of a woman, he personally sent Fu Cha Fuheng to escort the prince of the Yu clan to the capital to be punished.
As for Jin Yuyan, the emperor did not execute her for the sake of the Sixth Prince Yongsheng. Instead, he demoted her to a concubine.
With her status downgraded, Jin Yuyan naturally could not live in the main hall of Qixiang Palace.
The emperor ordered her to be moved to a room with only a small window in the west wing of the palace. He did not allow any palace maids to serve her and left her to fend for herself.
Fu Cha Fu Heng knew that the Second Prince was killed by Jin Yuyan, and he was not polite to the Prince of the Yu family. He mocked him and treated him harshly along the way.
When Prince Yu arrived in the capital, he looked listless, haggard and withered.
After learning the whole story, Li Yin, the prince of the Yu family, hated Jin Yuyan to the core.
He fell to the ground in the Yangxin Palace, regardless of his image, and begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face.
It is said that Jin Yuyan is not a legitimate daughter of the Yu clan, but a bastard of unknown origin. It is even difficult to tell whether she is a member of the Yu clan.
He has ordered people to arrest Jin Yuyan's parents and relatives, and will execute them on a chosen day. He only hopes that the emperor can forgive Yu's negligence.
The Yu family attached great importance to blood ties, so the emperor naturally did not believe such an excuse.
The Prince of the Yu family said earnestly that he would send a few more authentic and beautiful ladies of the Yu family over another day.
The emperor said sarcastically that he would never want another girl from the Yu family who was so vicious.
Jin Yuyan alone was enough to stir up trouble, causing damage to the royal heir and the death of concubines.
If there were a few more, there would be no peace in his harem.
The prince of the Yu family trembled with fear and had to change his words and promise to double the annual tribute of the Yu family. Only then did the emperor give up.
The scent of the agarwood in the room gradually faded. Ruyi gently stirred the ashes with a silver carrying pole, her face showing a calm expression without any joy or sadness.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"惢心 came in with the bird's nest and gently placed it on the table. Seeing that Ruyi seemed to be in a daze, she couldn't help but ask.
