Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 133: Concubine Jin frames Hailan; Hailan is confined to her house

Hongli: "Well, the Imperial Concubine is thoughtful. It's hard for you to be pregnant, and I am thinking of you."

Before Ruyi could answer, everyone heard a cry of surprise, as if something had happened from Concubine Yi's side.

The one closest to her was Consort Jin, and she reacted quickly: "Ah, why does the color of the dumpling filling look wrong?"

Hongli: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, our master feels sick in his stomach."

Concubine Yi weakly raised her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am so scared. Who wants to kill my child?"

Hongli frowned and ordered her to be moved to the back hall, and then summoned Qi Ru to treat her.

Hongli sat in the main seat with a sullen look on his face: "Such a thing happened at the New Year's Eve family dinner. Investigate it thoroughly for me."

Su Lian picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lips, but this unintentional action caught Ruyi's attention.

She said to Rong Pei, "Rong Pei, go check and see if there's anything unusual when they're making dumplings."

Rong Pei nodded and quietly retreated.

The imperial physician had already experienced that a few of the dumplings in Concubine Yi's plate were poisoned, but the amount was too light to be fatal. If it weren't for her unstable fetus, she would probably have ate all of them and only then would she have developed symptoms.

At this time, Yi Guiren's maid Chun Tao suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this servant has seen it."

Ruyi asked, "Tell me what you saw. Tell the truth."

Chuntao clenched her fists: "It's Concubine Yu!" She pointed at Hailan.

Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that Hailan usually lived a secluded life and was a good-tempered person.

Gao Xiyue snorted coldly: "Hmph, you, a little palace maid, dare to frame Concubine Yu? Do you know the consequences?"

Chun Tao said righteously: "I swear, if I lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Seeing her swear on her life, Hongli asked, "Ruyi, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the facts of this matter still need to be thoroughly investigated. Hailan is a concubine after all, and she alone cannot be convicted."

Hai Lan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong. To prove my innocence, I ask to be confined to my home. As long as you can trust me and prove my innocence, I will return it."

Hongli nodded and said, "Okay, Yuhu, you come and investigate this matter yourself. Make sure you get to the bottom of it."

Hongli lost interest and the New Year's Eve banquet ended abruptly.

Under the treatment of the imperial physician, Concubine Yi and her unborn baby were safe and sound.

Gao Xiyue paced back and forth in the hall.

Wei Yingning: "Master, please take a break. You've been busy all day."

Gao Xiyue: "You said Concubine Yi did this just to frame Hailan?"

Wei Yingning thought for a moment and said, "I feel like she's coming for the Imperial Concubine."

"How to say?"

Wei Yingning: "A bystander sees more clearly. I was just guessing. Concubine Yu is on good terms with the Imperial Noble Concubine. Who else could it be if not targeting her?"

Gao Xiyue: "Why do I feel like there's someone behind Concubine Yi? Su Lian hasn't made any moves today. Could it be that she wants to use Concubine Yi's child to frame the Imperial Concubine?"

Yikun Palace

Xiangyun came out holding a cloth bag. She looked around to make sure that no one was around, then took out the bag and threw away the contents.

"Who's there?" Sanbao suddenly jumped out and caught Xiangyun.

In the main hall

Ruyi asked, "Did you poison Concubine Yi's dumplings?"

Xiangyun refused to admit it at first, until Sanbao dragged her outside, whipped her a few times, and threatened her with hot charcoal, then she told the truth.

But she didn't know who the mastermind was.
