The wish of the Qing Dynasty is fulfilled

Chapter 197 Insurance 24

Ruyi was not in a hurry to argue when she was accused of murdering a pregnant woman, but she became anxious when she was told that her fingers were thick, and her expression became visibly more ferocious.

After Hongli glanced at her expression, he was even more furious. He couldn't understand when she became like this. Last time, she was jealous and put something in Bai Ruiji's ointment. Now, she even dared to harm others in public!

In the past, her somewhat spoiled nature could be considered a source of interest between the two of them, but now Ruyi even dares to lay her hands on his child.

If you get angry tomorrow, will you dare to attack me?

Hongli's mood at this time was a complex mixture of being slapped in the face after refuting Ruyi, feeling sad for Ruyi, and worrying about his own safety, but all of them were negative emotions.

Zhen Huan struck while the iron was hot and pointed her sword directly at Ruyi.

"Does Empress Xian mean she has nothing to say, or is the evidence irrefutable?"

"Emperor, the state has its own laws and the family has its own rules. We must not break the rules. If this loophole is opened, won't everyone be able to harm the heir at will and ignore all palace rules and regulations in the future?"

Hongli knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.

But Ruyi has already been infected with hideous jealousy and viciousness, and it is time for her to learn some lessons and remember her mistakes.

"Since there are witnesses and evidence, you have nothing else to explain." Hongli looked at Ruyi with a sullen expression and said slowly, "Pass on my oral order. Concubine Xian's behavior was inappropriate. She did not consider the pregnant concubine. She is demoted to... Noble Lady."

He originally wanted to be demoted to the position of concubine, but with so many eyes staring at him, the word "concubine" turned around on his lips, and finally changed it to the word "noble lady".

Even so, others were still dissatisfied.

Bai Ruiji is still lying in there waiting for the imperial physician to treat her. Those who came before her from the Imperial Hospital shook their heads one after another, saying that the child could not be saved. In the end, she was punished by being demoted?

Isn't this just a joke!

The Empress Dowager refused to agree and demoted Ruyi to a noble lady after much talking, which was somewhat embarrassing.

But before they could continue to speak and intervene, the appearance of another voice completely broke the existing situation.

"Sister! Why are you so confused?"

The person who came was Hailan.

Hai Lan stumbled into the room, and when she saw Ruyi, she lost her balance, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

Even so, she still struggled to stand up and move forward, staring at Ruyi with her beautiful eyes full of tears, and big tears rolled down her cheeks. This look made anyone who saw her feel pity.

"Didn't I tell you that the Emperor has my sister in his heart? Why would my sister have to argue with Concubine Mei for a moment and cause such a serious situation?"

Hongli didn't even care that Hailan hadn't greeted him since she came in. He just thought that she was a close friend!

She is as short-sighted as I am, and both of them mistakenly trusted Ruyi, the crazy woman!

Finally someone understands my anger!

Everyone knew that Hai Lan always liked to interact with Ruyi, and she had a rare soft-hearted personality, the type that would not dare to say a word no matter how wronged she was. But now she was so excited, probably because she was stimulated to the extreme by Ruyi's action.

Zhen Huan looked Hai Lan up and down. Although she couldn't tell what was wrong, the excellent experience she had gained from years of palace fighting made her feel that there was something wrong.

Ruyi was also a little dazed, but when she saw Hailan crying, she seemed to have subconsciously triggered a passive skill, and her mouth moved before her body did.

"Hai Lan, don't cry."

That’s right, every time Hai Lan encounters setbacks and breaks down crying, Ruyi, the caring older sister, often comforts her by saying “don’t cry”. How can the actual action to solve the problem be as important as this heartfelt comfort?

This conversation is very obvious to other people.

Oh, it must be that Ruyi has been dissatisfied with Bai Ruiji for a long time, thinking that she has stolen the emperor's favor. Hai Lan has privately advised Ruyi many times, but Ruyi still insisted on doing what she did today.

Hey!

In this way, this matter can be said to be extremely terrifying if you think about it carefully, and even more terrifying if you think about it roughly.

This wasn't just a sudden loss of control, it was clearly a long-planned targeting and revenge!

Zhen Huan was completely confused by Hai Lan's words at this moment. She was so angry that her head hurt. Bai Ruiji was the person she imagined to be the next successor, but she was actually tricked by this idiot!

Seeing this, Hongli began to wonder whether his decision just now was too lenient without anyone else saying anything.

At this moment, someone came to report that a palace maid was found sneaking outside the gate in a strange manner, trying to get information. When they brought her in, they found that she was Ruyi's personal maid, A Ruo.

Hongli's brows were almost twisted into a difficult totem. He couldn't figure out how many things Ruyi and her men were hiding. Seeing A Ruo's panic state, he immediately came up with an idea.

"A Ruo, your master has just explained everything."

"Tell the truth, and I will spare you some suffering. Otherwise, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive your punishment."

Arruo was shocked when she heard that. She certainly didn't want to set foot in such an unfortunate place as the Ministry of Punishment, but who knew what Ruyi had just confessed. What if her confession didn't match?

At this moment, she suddenly saw Jin Yuyan winking at her in the crowd, and her IQ suddenly came online and she understood the situation.

"Your Majesty, I plead guilty!"

A Ruo knelt obediently on the ground and kowtowed three times. When she raised her head again, her expression suddenly became solemn.
