Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 167 Yan Wan is stimulated ①

Yongqi recuperated for several days, and Wanyin stayed by his side, taking care of him and accompanying him when he got out of bed and walked. However, Hongli's decree had not yet been issued, and Wanyin was still uneasy.

After Hongli had been hiding in the Yangxin Palace for several days, he sent Jinzhong to the Zhongcui Palace to announce the imperial edict. After much anticipation, Hongli's edict arrived, but it was only to appease Wanyin and confer the title of Prince on Yongqi, bestowing him with the title of Rong. What an honor! After all, among all the princes, no one had been crowned a prince yet; Yongqi was the first. Jinzhong put away the imperial edict, sighed helplessly, and walked over to Wanyin. He reached out to support the already numb Wanyin, saying, "Empress Wan, please accept the edict. I am deeply saddened by the Fifth Prince's injury, but the Emperor is also helpless. Now that the Fifth Prince is Prince Rong, you have finally reaped the rewards of your hardships. When the Fifth Prince comes of age, I can take you out of the palace, which would be a good thing..."

But Wanyin couldn't hear anything she said at this moment.

Hongli actually chose to protect Meiruo and even gave up Yongqi, his biological son. At this moment, Wanyin's disappointment in Hongli reached its peak.

But Hongli was the emperor, and no matter how much she hated Meiruo, she couldn't touch her.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Jinzhong closed the door and left Zhongcui Palace.

Yongqi, who was hiding in the corner, happened to hear Jinzhong coming to announce the decree. In fact, ever since Hongli confined Hailan to his house and forbade him to see her again, he knew that Hongli was a heartless person. He had been living on thin ice all these years. He finally had a mother who was good to him. Yongqi was not very interested in that position, but they always refused to let him go.

Yongqi: "Mother?"

Wanyin turned around and saw that Yongqi was only wearing his underwear. She hurried to his side, hugged him and said, "Yongqi, why did you get out of bed?"

Seeing the tear marks on Wanyin's face, Yongqi reached out and gently wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, saying, "Mother, the emperor doesn't want a son anymore, right?"

Wanyin hugged Yongqi tightly in her arms and said, "No, even if the emperor abandons us, mother and son, I will protect you in my own way."

Yongqi didn't know whether he should believe Wanyin's words, because someone had said the same thing to him before, but they abandoned him in the end.

He was grateful to Wanyin, but was afraid that he would bring trouble to her.

In Xianfu Palace, Meiruo had the imperial kitchen prepare a large table of food to entertain the princess and Jirimutu. The three of them raised their glasses to each other, and because Meiruo was pregnant, she drank pure milk.

Jirimutu took a swig of wine, and Abao picked up the wine pot and poured more wine into his glass. Jirimutu laughed.

Jirimutu: "Little sister, what did your brother say that day? I will definitely avenge you. Don't the Manchus and Han people often say that a gentleman's revenge is never too late? What do you think? I, your brother, didn't lie to you, did I?"

Meiruo smiled like a child, raised the wine glass filled with pure milk in her hand, and toasted Jirimutu: "Brother is right, I am ashamed of myself."

Princess Balin was now feeling uneasy, and said worriedly, "After all, the Fifth Prince is the Emperor's son. If the Emperor finds out, he won't come after us, will he?"

Jirimutu put down his wine glass and said, "Eji, what if the old emperor knew about this? My little sister is pregnant now, and the prince in her belly is of Qing-Mongol blood, and his status is extremely noble. What kind of person is that Fifth Prince? I heard that his biological mother was just an embroiderer, and even his current adoptive mother is just the daughter of a minor official. If he hadn't been humiliated by my sister that day, he would still be a concubine. Today, I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the emperor went to Zhongcui Palace to announce the decree, saying that he had conferred the title of Prince Rong on the Fifth Prince. The emperor is not a fool. The Fifth Prince only injured his leg, not his brain. Wouldn't he tell the emperor about what happened that day when I took him away? I'm afraid that the emperor is afraid of the Forty-Nine Mongol tribes, so he doesn't dare to cause trouble for us, but he feels sorry for the Fifth Prince, so he gave him the title as compensation."

The Princess of Bahrain nodded in agreement.

"But this is too risky. You must not make decisions on your own from now on. If something goes wrong, how will Eji explain it to the Khan?"

Meiruo patted the princess's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Eji, everything will be fine."

"By the way, where's Fourth Brother? I haven't seen him for a while."

Princess Bahrain and Jirimutu were also wondering where Huricha had gone.

Meiruo: "Abao, do you know where the fourth prince went?"

A Bao had seen Hu Richa several times, but she had no idea what he was doing. He was always out early and back late. Just as she was about to tell him everything she had seen and heard, Hu Richa ran back to Xianfu Palace in a panic.

He looked panicked, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face and body were covered with bright red blood.

The Princess of Bahrain was instantly panicked.

Thinking that Hu Richa was seriously injured, he hurried forward to check his injuries.

Even the usually steady Jirimutu stepped in front of Huricha and scolded him, "Huricha, what on earth did you do?"

When Hu Rikan saw Jirimutu, he felt like he had seen a savior. He hugged Jirimutu's thighs and begged for mercy: "Brother, save me, mother, save me, sister, save me..."

Meiruo held her belly and walked over with a worried look on her face, saying, "Fourth brother, what happened?"

Hu Richa was visibly panicked, and even his words were incoherent. He stammered, "I... I... killed someone, killed someone..."

"It wasn't intentional. He lied to me. I'm also a victim..."

"What?" the mother and her two children said in unison.

Jirimutu reacted quickly: "Is that man really dead? What have you been doing these days? Tell the truth, otherwise we can't save you."

Hu Richa wiped his face sloppily.

It turned out that after he and Jinzhong left last time, he was taken by Jinzhong to a small house for entertainment, where most of the people were young eunuchs who made a living by gambling.

Gambling is a highly addictive sport, especially for newcomers who lack experience and are easily deceived. Under Jinzhong's guidance, Hu Richa initially won a considerable amount of money. Once the fish had fattened up, they began to cast their nets. The young eunuchs, claiming Hu Richa had good luck, refused to gamble with him. However, Hu Richa's addiction to gambling became so intense that he insisted on being taken on. When the young eunuchs initially refused, he threatened them with violence. This forced one of the eunuchs to take him to a gambling parlor outside the palace, where he met Wei Zuolu.

Initially, Zorlu did make him a good deal of money, but Hu Richa never imagined that Zorlu was in cahoots with the gambling den, hoping to lure him down so they could take him down. When Zorlu was caught cheating, Hu Richa learned the whole story. While he could afford the money, he was still furious. He confronted Zorlu, and the two men engaged in a fistfight. Zorlu, a mere thug, was no match for Hu Richa, and was quickly beaten to death by Hu Richa.
