Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 226 Only sold for 12 silver coins

Ruyi let out a moan and then fainted.

Rong Pei cried out in surprise and supported her: "Master! Master?! Master, wake up! Imperial physician! Quick! Find a more useful imperial physician!"

The stunned young doctor: "..."

He knelt down towards Hongli who was not far away and said, "Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

Hongli paused. He just heard the young imperial physician say that Ruyi seemed to have a slippery pulse.

The memory of him and Qingying relying on each other in the past emerged in his mind. For some reason, his heart softened. He walked to Ruyi and leaned over to hug her.

At this moment, Concubine Mei came over with big strides: "Your Majesty! Is the Queen okay?"

Hongli paused and said, "She has stabilized, but she can't move for the time being. Zhang Yun has gone to see Yan Wan again... You and Shupin go take care of her. When she wakes up, tell her that the queen is no longer in danger of life. I will send Xianpin back to Yikun Palace first and visit her later."

He really had a headache today, and his head was buzzing with memories of his past with Qingying. The noise from the folded wall was so noisy that it almost killed him.

In short, he needed to have some peace and quiet for a while, obey Ruyi's wishes, and have some peace and quiet for a while.

Concubine Mei raised her lips slightly, glanced at Ruyi in Hongli's arms, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you know why I came so late today?"

Hongli's head hurt, but he was still curious: "What did you do?"

In his arms, Ruyi's eyelashes trembled, and then there was no movement.

Concubine Mei stroked the tassels on the head of the banner with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, I have been following the orders of the Empress and managing some palace affairs. I found that the theft of property in the palace and reselling it has become a serious problem. Even many powerful people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are involved."

Hongli was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious: "Tell me in detail."

Although his mind was clear, government affairs and palace affairs were naturally more important than a moment of pleasure.

Today, the eunuchs and palace maids dared to steal rampantly, but who knows if they would not dare to bring all kinds of poisons into the palace tomorrow? The day after tomorrow, would they directly engage in the business of selling information about the emperor?

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that Ruyi was too heavy to hold, then put her down again, let her sit on a stone bench, and asked Rong Pei to support her.

Rong Pei was so anxious: "Your Majesty! Our master is in a coma! She is still pregnant with your child! Shouldn't you quickly ask Zhang Yun to save her!"

Hongli said coldly: "Jinzhong..."

Jinbao, who was standing by, appeared immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and call the chief steward."

Hongli waved his hand: "Forget it, go and drag her away and slap her in the face."

Jinbao responded promptly: "Yes!"

He was about to pull the person away, but Ruyi whimpered and woke up again: "Jinbao? What do you want to do to me? Your Majesty, Your Majesty? What's wrong with me?"

For a moment of pleasure, Hongli said against his conscience: "You were stimulated and fainted."

He nodded at Ruyi and said earnestly, "Ruyi, now that you are awake, don't lean on the old nanny anymore. You know, I have always admired your upbringing and manners as you come from a noble family."

A blush appeared on Ruyi's face and she sat up straight subconsciously.

The moment she left Rong Pei, Jinbao acted quickly and dragged Rong Pei away.

Ruyi's pupils shrank: "How outrageous..."

Hongli grabbed Ruyi and said, "Princess Xian, Concubine Mei has something very important to say. Although you are only a concubine now, you have always been involved in palace affairs and run errands for the queen. Come and listen to it with me."

Ruyi felt very uncomfortable, and her face was not very good. She forced a smile with a stiff face: "Yes."

After a pause, she covered her stomach again and said, "But Your Majesty, I... I really feel uncomfortable in my stomach."

She looked at Hongli eagerly, hoping that he would take the initiative to call Zhang Yun out to show her.

Hongli said, "Don't worry. Concubine Ling's condition is more serious. When Zhang Yun is done examining you and confirms that Yan Wan is fine, I will ask him to check you out... so that she can rest assured about the baby in her belly."

Ruyi was reluctant: "Your Highness Concubine Ling has already given birth, and the children all cried, but I don't know how my child is doing."

Hongli pretended not to hear anything: "Concubine Mei, please tell us in detail what you found out, and let Concubine Xian listen too."

Concubine Mei raised her lips and glanced at Ruyi: "Before, Concubine Xian... Oh, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not good at speaking and said the wrong thing. I should call her Concubine Xian now."

She also apologized to Ruyi: "I'm sorry, Concubine Xian, it's mainly because of your ups and downs that I can't remember clearly."

Ruyi: “…”

She smiled wryly: "Whatever Princess Mei says is fine."

Concubine Mei was not annoyed. She smiled and asked Hongli to sit down. Then she said, "Speaking of which, this matter is really closely related to Concubine Xian."

Ruyi's eyebrows jumped: "What do you mean? Could it be that I can..."

She suddenly stopped talking because when she saw Concubine Mei's delicate and proud smile, she suddenly remembered that she had just fainted and should not know too much.

She changed her tone without changing her expression: "You said anything for Concubine Ling, but now Concubine Ling is a concubine, and you are just a concubine. I wonder if the person you took care of in the past has stepped on your head. Will you still be good to her child?"

Concubine Mei was surprised: "So this is why you have been suppressing Hai Lan all these years!"

The veins on Ruyi's forehead throbbed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Concubine Mei! Don't judge others by your own standards!"

Mei Fei's face suddenly turned cold: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not is naturally up to the Emperor to decide, and it is not for you, a small concubine, to comment! Your Majesty, I want to report Xian Fei, who condoned and coerced the Ministry of Internal Affairs to condone the eunuchs and maids who sold the palace's property, making a profit, accepting a large amount of bribes, and even selling the things bestowed by the Emperor at a low price!"

Ruyi's eyebrows instantly raised: "Bai Ruiji! You'd better know what you are talking about! I have always been a clean and honest person, and I have never done the kind of thing you said!"

Concubine Mei ignored her and asked Hongli seriously: "Your Majesty, if a concubine in the harem commits an offense, can I teach her a lesson?"

Hongli glanced at Ruyi, who looked at him eagerly, pure and clean as if she had just turned eighteen. His eyebrows twitched: "Give her a verbal warning twice. If she still doesn't repent, I will report it to the Queen."

Concubine Mei was a little unhappy. It seemed that although the Emperor disliked Concubine Xian, he still couldn't bear to see her being beaten all the time.

It seems that I have to avoid the emperor next time.

She called her maid and took the thick stack of account books. "Your Majesty, please look. These are all the things that were sold recently with the connivance of Concubine Xian. Do you remember the big pearl you gave her? She actually let the eunuch stuff it into her pants and took it out, and it only sold for one thousand taels of silver!"
