Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 312: Mother-and-Child Jade Pendant; Zhen Huan expresses her attitude

Li Yu sent all the people in the hall out.

He came to Hongli and whispered, "Your Majesty, the matter has been settled."

Hongli nodded: "Okay."

"Let's hold a grand funeral. This is the last thing I can do for him."

Li Yu leaned forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do it right away."

In the Cining Palace, Fujia was also reporting this matter to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan put down her water pipe: "Oh, it seems that someone doesn't want him to live anymore."

Fujia: "I really don't understand. Since he has already retired and returned home, why would he still kill people?"

Zhen Huan sneered, "He knows too much."

"Forget it, I've done enough work, I'll just enjoy my retirement."

"The Queen Mother is also doing this for the Emperor's own good. He must understand. Besides, now that the Queen is on our side, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but you know the emperor is very suspicious. This time he aborted Ping Changzai and executed Qi Ru, so he told me not to meddle in other people's business."

"So what does the Queen Mother think we should do?"

Zhen Huan curled her lips and said, "How? You don't have to do anything."

Later, Ruyi brought her children to pay her respects to Zhen Huan.

"Get up! Why are you being polite when your leg isn't healed yet?"

"Your Majesty is very generous, but if someone with ulterior motives spreads this, they will think that I, your son, am disrespectful to the Empress Dowager."

"It's right to be cautious. This move by you, the Queen, is truly pleasing to the eyes of the people."

Zhen Huan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said.

Ruyi had just sat down when she heard her say this and said, "Your Majesty, you know that I disdain to use such tactics. I was just giving Concubine Xin a heads-up."

Zhen Huan put down her teacup and sneered, "This tactic of using a knife to kill someone is very clever, but I don't blame you. I would do the same if I were you, so you don't have to worry."

Ruyi nodded: "Yes, I know, but I feel sorry for that child."

"I understand a mother's heart, but how could such a person give birth to a good child? It's better to die, but she is too fragile and will die with her. Death is also a good outcome for her."

"Things have already happened. There's no point in saying more. The rift between you and the Emperor should have been resolved by now, Empress Dowager."

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes: "I don't want to have any estrangement with the Emperor, but he has already made up his mind. No matter what I say, he won't believe it."

"Does the Empress Dowager trust me?"

Zhen Huan nodded: "Of course I believe you."

"Then I will help you resolve the knot between you and the Emperor."

For dinner, Ruyi asked Rong Pei to invite Hongli over.

Hongli came in and bowed to Zhen Huan symbolically: "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Well, the emperor has arrived, Fujia will serve the meal."

Fujia responded and went out.

There was silence in the hall for a moment. Hongli lowered his head and played with the jade ring on his finger.

Ruyi patted Jingsi and signaled her to find Hongli.

"Father, look, this is a little toy that the Empress Dowager gave me. Take a look."

It was a jade pendant with a mother-and-child buckle.

Hongli took it and looked at it, and he understood: "The Empress Dowager really has good intentions."

The jade pendant with a mother-and-child buckle represents family harmony and affection. The Queen Mother did this because she wanted to resolve the knot in her heart.

"You are also my child, and I love you dearly. The previous dynasty was busy with political affairs, but the harem has been peaceful since the arrival of the Empress. I can finally rest assured and spend my remaining years in this Cining Palace."
