Chapter 195 Insurance 22
"I'm sorry, Empress Xian. Madam said that a pregnant woman's temperament changes. I've been a bit blunt lately. I'm sure you won't hold it against me, right?"
"But it's also true. My sister hasn't experienced being a mother yet, so it's normal for her not to understand these things."
Ruyi's hair was almost standing up in anger because of Bai Ruiji.
How could there be such a sharp-tongued and unruly person!
It must be this uneducated vixen who has been obsessed with the emperor all day long, bewitching her brother Hongli and leading the once young man astray!
At this moment, Ruyi's concern for the other party's pregnancy disappeared completely. Because Bai Ruiji's ability to touch her heart was too strong, Ruyi's anger burned away her already limited rationality. She stretched out her right hand and pointed directly at Bai Ruiji, "You are committing insubordination!"
Bai Ruiji thought to herself, how fresh this is, it’s not the first day we’ve known each other, why are you talking as if I just developed this problem?
"I dare not~"
Bai Ruiji said she didn't dare, but in fact she didn't even bend her legs, and even stuck out her belly towards Ruyi, looking extremely arrogant.
It was惢心 who was accompanying Ruyi today. She was so anxious that sweat began to appear on her forehead. She couldn't help but pray to God to bless her master to be smarter and not to argue too much with Bai Ruiji and get into trouble.
Unfortunately, the heavens had no time to deal with惢心. Ruyi was so angry that she almost threw away her dignity and jumped up and down in anger. Her face turned red and she kept saying, "How dare you! How dare you!"
For Bai Ruiji, who grew up among all kinds of people, the offensiveness of such words is no different from a child crying "You are bad". It cannot be said that it has no lethality, but it is only to the extent that it may make people laugh to death.
Thinking of this, she didn't know if she was really amused by Ruyi or what, but her lower abdomen faintly felt twitching and tightening, but it was not very obvious, so Bai Ruiji didn't care too much.
Bai Ruiji wanted to continue watching the fun for a while, but the palace maid who was supporting her kept coaxing her to go back.
After all, she was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Bai Ruiji's baby. If anything really went wrong, she couldn't bear the consequences.
After much effort, she coaxed Bai Ruiji into leaving. However, Ruyi refused to accept it after realizing that she wanted to leave. She was so angry that she yelled at Bai Ruiji for having no manners.
Despite what she said, she still waved her exploding hands at Bai Ruiji.
As a result, Bai Ruiji, who was dissatisfied with Ruyi's words and wanted to step forward, just took a step forward when she saw something falling at her feet.
This is broken.
Bai Ruiji lost her balance and fell down.
The palace maid who had just comforted Bai Ruiji did not expect such a mistake to happen. She was pulled down by Bai Ruiji without any preparation. Not to mention providing a cushion for her master, she fell directly on her master.
There was only one thought in the maid's mind.
'It's over! '
When Bai Ruiji fell,惢心, who witnessed the whole process, felt her legs go weak, not to mention Ruyi, whose face turned pale.
"I didn't touch her!"
惢心 was about to cry. "Master, what's the point of you telling me this now? If there really is something wrong with Bai Ruiji's fetus, it would be wrong for anyone present to breathe a sigh of relief. Whether it was touched or not, you have to tell the emperor!"
"Someone is coming——"
"Help me—help me—"
It is said that human potential is infinite. Facing the threat of death, the palace maid who had just fallen screamed for help at the top of her lungs. After all, it was hopeless to rely on those two useless master and servant.
It was not until then that Ruyi realized that the most important thing at the moment was to call someone to carry Bai Ruiji away for treatment, rather than standing there and staring blankly.
Unfortunately, she realized it too late. The palace servants around her had already been attracted by the cries for help from Bai Ruiji's maid. They hurriedly surrounded her and each of them took up the task of lifting Bai Ruiji onto the sedan chair.
Perhaps the palace maid's desire to survive was too strong. Just as everyone was moving Bai Ruiji, she suddenly discovered something.
She took advantage of no one's attention to quickly grasp the thing tightly in her hand, and even did not dare to let go when it stabbed her. Then she retracted her entire hand into her sleeve, for fear of revealing it at all.
"Ah... Master, there is blood!"
惢心 pointed at the place where Bai Ruiji had just fallen, and couldn't suppress the exclamation in her mouth.
Ruyi stared at that place blankly and shuddered inexplicably.
……
Upon hearing that there was a problem with the fetus in Bai Ruiji's belly, Hongli was so shocked that he couldn't hold the teacup steadily.
"How could this be, Li Yu, come with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Yu lowered his head and obeyed the order, following the emperor silently.
As soon as he entered the Yonghe Palace, Hongli saw Ruyi.
He saw her kneeling in the yard in a dark purple robe. If it weren't for her straight back and strange neck posture that attracted his attention twice, he would have thought she was a maid being punished.
Hongli frowned subconsciously. He still didn't know how much involvement Ruyi had in this matter. The servant who reported the news only said that Ruyi and Bai Ruiji had a dispute.
If it was just an argument, why would you be kneeling here?
It was quite embarrassing to have so many people coming and going, but after all, this was the Empress Xian he personally appointed, not some worthless concubine.
Li Yu looked at his nose and thought about his heart without saying a word, and followed the emperor's orders. If the emperor ordered him to support Concubine Xian, then he could only... wash his hands several times after supporting her.
After all, Jinzhong had cried and complained that Empress Xian seemed to have a serious illness, and Jinbao had muttered that she was poisoned.
Either one sounds like something to be avoided.
Fortunately, the emperor did not give any further orders. It was not because he was cruel and stood by and watched, but because the empress dowager gave the order and asked the emperor to come in.
"Your Majesty, you know I never cared about these things. I gave all the harem affairs to the Empress, and I never even asked about them."
Zhen Huan's face was full of anger and sighs. She seemed to be just nagging casually, but Fu Cha Langya beside her was on edge, fearing that this old hag would take this opportunity to seize power.
"But the heir in Lady Mei's belly is innocent! Is this how the Queen manages the harem? She actually created a concubine who dared to lay hands on a pregnant woman! Why would you let your majesty get involved and hurt the child?"
Zhen Huan's grief-stricken expression was very natural, and her questions were sharp. Fu Cha Lang Ya immediately apologized, and the other concubines also knelt down in a large group.
"Mother, I don't even know what happened. What do you think this is?"
Hongli cursed in his heart, knowing that the old woman was restless, but he still had to put on the attitude of a filial son on the surface, and asked about the main business quickly, instead of talking about other trivial things.
Zhen Huan waved her hand, and the maid who had been accompanying Bai Ruiji was brought up. She knelt on the spot with a "thump", which sounded painful.
"Your servant greets His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. Today, I accompanied my master to the Imperial Garden to relax, and unexpectedly ran into Empress Xian... This is what happened, and this is evidence!"
I saw the palace maid holding up an object with both hands.
