Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Yinzhen also came to visit Cao Qinmo and Rui Guiren.

The imperial physician has already said that their illness is not contagious. Yixiu persuaded him to come and visit Concubine Rui. After all, she was a gift from the retired emperor, and it would not be good to ignore her too much.

Yinzhen didn't say hello in advance, but came straight over.

Lady Rui was very happy.

"You have been ill for a long time. The weather is cold recently. You should take care of yourself."

Concubine Rui said, "With the emperor's concern, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

There was a faint scent of medicine in Concubine Rui's room. After Yinzhen smelled it for a while, he felt clear-headed and calm.

“Where does this fragrance come from?”

Concubine Rui was puzzled, and then said, "It may be the taste of the medicine I have been drinking recently."

The room was warm and cozy.

Yinzhen sat for a while and was about to leave. Su Peisheng said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Cao is also ill. Would you like to go and see her?"

"Now that we've come this far, let's take a look."

Yinzhen turned and went to Su Peisheng's room.

As soon as he entered Cao Qinmo's room, Yinzhen frowned.

The smell in his room was very similar to that in Concubine Rui's room, but more pungent.

Moreover, as soon as he entered Cao Qinmo's room, Yinzhen felt very cold.

Yinzhen asked Yinxiu, "What's wrong with you? It's so cold, and your young master is sick, but you didn't even light a charcoal fire for him."

Yinxiu knelt down quickly, "This slave deserves death!"

At this time, Cao Qinmo's weak voice came over, "Your Majesty, it was I who told her not to order."

Yinzhen's face darkened.

In such a cold day, why don't they light the charcoal brazier? Are they sick so that he can come to see them?

This method of competing for favor is not effective at all.

Yinzhen started by accusing Cao Qinmo, "If you don't light the charcoal basin, when will the disease be cured?"

Cao Qinmo's face turned pale at this time.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong..."

Yinxiu shouted, "Your Majesty, that's not the case!"

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of winter, Miss Cao has not received a piece of charcoal!"

Yinxiu said, "During the day, the weather is not so cold, so the young lady will not let me light the charcoal basin. I can only light some charcoal for the servants at night. There is no charcoal left for the permanent position!"

Yinzhen said, "How can there be no charcoal? Everyone gets some every month."

Yinxiu cried, "Our young master's charcoal is always taken away by Sister Ruochu in Young Master Rui's room. She said it was delivered, but it was never delivered. We have been relying on the servants' charcoal all the time."

"The doctor said that the young lady needs rest and a good environment to recover from her illness. But how can she recover if she is freezing every day? The young lady has been ill for so long, I think it must be related to the charcoal fire!"

"Your Majesty, the young lady did not allow me to tell you, nor did she allow me to tell the Empress, saying that she did not want to cause trouble for you. But today I have the guts to tell you. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid that the young lady will lose her life!"

"If the emperor wants to punish me, please punish me! Please don't blame the young lady!"

Yinxiu said a long string of words, and Yinzhen just listened.

"Su Peisheng, go check what's going on."

Su Peisheng went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check and found out that the charcoal that Cao Qinmo had been using for the past few months was indeed collected by Ruo Chu, who was by the side of Concubine Rui.

Yinzhen had an idea in mind.

It is very likely that the charcoal was not given to Cao Qinmo.

Xiu Yue has been in the palace for many years, so there must be many people who can help her.

Also, the medicine in her room was noticeably better.

Yinzhen said, "Su Peisheng, take Yinxiu with you to get the charcoal and make up for the previous share."

Cao Qinmo's expression was one of trepidation and fear.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me."

Yinzhen comforted Cao Qinmo and said, "By the way, the medicine you have been taking for these days of illness was prescribed by the Imperial Hospital?"

Cao Qin responded silently.

The things these concubines use on a daily basis are based on their rank, which doesn’t matter, but the medicines they use cannot be based on their rank.

Sick people need the best possible care.

It seems that the Imperial Hospital is a place that flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. He will have a good talk with Yixiu about this and ask her to rectify it.

-----------------

The news that Yinzhen came to visit Cao Qinmo soon reached Qi Yuebin's ears.

Qi Yuebin came to visit her. Everyone said that the emperor liked Cao Qinmo, so Qi Yuebin wanted to take the opportunity of visiting the patient to see if there was any useful information he could get.

When the two talked about things in the palace, Cao Qinmo just complimented Qi Yuebin for entering the palace so early. The friendship of accompanying the emperor since childhood was not something that they, the concubines who came later, could compare to.

As for Qi Yuebin, although her position was higher than that of Cao Qinmo, she was still very cautious: "Sister, you are beautiful and now you are at the best age for a girl. I heard that the emperor dotes on you very much."

Both of them are smart people. They both want to get useful information from each other, but at the same time they are careful not to leave any handle for the other.

Therefore, the two people talked like they were practicing Tai Chi, pushing each other back and forth for an hour without anyone saying anything really useful.

Seeing the tea on the table go from colored to colorless, Qi Yuebin finally lost his patience and prepared to get up and say goodbye: "I have something else to do in the palace, so I'll go first..."

"My lady, Concubine Qi is here to visit you, and she's already at the door." Before Concubine Duan could finish her words, Cao Qinmo's maid Yinxiu came in to deliver the message.

Qi Yuebin had just raised her body, and then sat down again without leaving any trace. Concubine Qi Li Jingyan was a good target, and she didn't want to miss it.

----------------

This was Li Jingyan's first time coming to Xianfu Palace since entering the palace.

Although Cao Qinmo is now only a concubine and can only live in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, it was the Empress who personally asked her to move in. Li Jingyan still began to exclaim as soon as she entered the door: "Oh my, this Xianfu Palace is so luxurious and beautiful."

Qi Yuebin is still not very smart. She came to visit Cao Qinmo not to find out the truth about Cao Qinmo like Concubine Duan Qi Yuebin did, but Yixiu hinted to her that she could make friends with Cao Qinmo.

Then she came.

After the three of them greeted each other, they sat down again. Li Jingyan was still muttering, "I heard that before Concubine Yi went to Yikun Palace, she lived in Xianfu Palace. This Xianfu Palace is indeed the residence of Concubine Yi. It is really magnificent. I heard that my sister is also very much loved by the Emperor. Who knows, she will have many children like Concubine Yi in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Yuebin's heart skipped a beat. Well... Concubine Yi's ending was not very good!

To put it bluntly, Concubine Yi's downfall is closely related to the current emperor and empress!

This Li Jingyan really has no restraint in his words!

Cao Qinmo's face wasn't looking good either, but she still modestly used the same words she had just used to compliment Qi Yuebin to deal with Li Jingyan.

-----------------

"Speaking of having many children, Concubine Hua is now favored and is about to give birth to a prince. I'm afraid we won't have a good life in the future." Qi Yuebin put down the teacup, sighed slightly, glanced at Li Jingyan and said, "Fortunately, my sister has the third prince. The emperor likes the third prince, so my sister can rest assured, unlike me..."

Li Jingyan thought that this was the truth and agreed without hesitation: "Of course, the emperor values ​​the third prince!"

"But it is also true that Huapin is domineering now. Just look at what happened in Jingren Palace a few days ago. She even dared to order the eldest prince's wife around in front of the Empress!"

"Yes." Duanpin Qi Yuebin immediately responded: "Huapin has always been domineering because of the emperor's favor. If she gives birth to a prince, will we still have a place in this palace?"

Qi Yuebin shook his head slightly: "Sister, you are right. If Huapin's dragon fetus is gone, the situation will be very different."

Li Jingyan was shocked and stared at Qi Yuebin: "Sister, what you mean is..."

Qi Yuebin stood up and said goodbye at this time: "I have been out for quite some time, and I will be going back soon. You two sisters can continue chatting."

---------------

Cao Qinmo pondered over what Qi Yuebin had said, but only thought about it for a moment before putting it out of her mind.

Her biggest threat now comes from the noblewoman Kumutu Xiu Yue.

She already knew the methods used by Concubine Hua and Concubine Li. As long as she took advantage of their tricks, they would not continue to attack her for the time being.

Rui Guiren is different. They are both in Xianfu Palace, and her position is higher than mine. Wouldn’t it be very easy to take action against her?

It won’t be too late to deal with Concubine Hua and the others after dealing with Concubine Rui. It will be just the right time to catch them off guard.

---------------

When Concubine Rui learned that the emperor had given Cao Qinmo an additional reward of charcoal, she knew that the emperor had found out what she had done.

Sure enough, the emperor dealt with the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department the next day.

Concubine Rui also had her salary deducted for three months.

She was sick at first, and this almost made her jump out of bed.

The emperor had been quite cold towards her recently. Now that he was angry with her, he might never come to her room again. If the illness lasted longer, the emperor would forget about her.

This Cao Qinmo was just a person from a poor family, yet she dared to report her in front of the emperor.

Concubine Rui really wanted to take action, but she didn't in the end.

Concubine Rui’s illness has become more serious.

Fortunately, she contacted the people around Honghui and was ready to take action.

However, Lord Guo Luoluo had not received any news for a long time and was very anxious. When he learned that Concubine Rui was ill, he called her useless in the mansion.

However, among the people that the Guo Luoluo clan had placed in the harem, the one most likely to poison Yixiu's son was only Concubine Rui.

So Lord Guo Luoluo still hired an imperial physician for her. He thought that the imperial physician who was treating her now must be incompetent.

Unexpectedly, the imperial physician found poison in Concubine Rui's charcoal fire!

Concubine Rui suddenly sat up in shock.

"That bitch from Cao Qinmo must have poisoned me!"

"Go and invite the emperor over quickly."

-----------------

When I first came to Jingren Palace, Yinzhen was also here.

When Yixiu saw that it was Concubine Rui, the people around her immediately became restless.

She had just received news that the people arranged by the Guo Luoluo clan were ready to take action against Honghui.

Yinzhen and Yixiu soon arrived at Xianfu Palace.

Yinzhen twirled the beads in his hand and asked the imperial physician, "What's going on?"

The doctor said, "There is a slight aroma in this charcoal fire. It is a real medicinal aroma, but it is mixed with a very small amount of oleander poison."

"The whole plant of oleander is highly toxic. The poisoned person will just feel a little unwell at first, but as time goes by, the condition will become more and more serious."

"The medicine here is very mild, so Lady Rui is only sick for the time being."

"Finally..." The imperial physician hesitated, "If a person is exposed to this poison for a long time, he will die."

Concubine Rui's face was filled with panic.

Her first reaction was that this was Lord Guo Luoluo who poisoned her, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not the case. If Lord Guo Luoluo wanted to poison her, why would he assign her a task and invite an imperial physician for her?

Concubine Rui quickly asked Ruchu, "Where did this charcoal fire come from?"

Ruo Chu stammered and dared not speak.

Yinzhen thought of what happened to Cao Qinmo.

"Is this the charcoal that was supposed to be given to Cao Changzai?"

Not to mention Ruchu, even Concubine Rui immediately felt guilty.

But soon, Concubine Rui reacted, "Your Majesty, since this should have been Concubine Cao's charcoal, then she must have poisoned me!"

Yinzhen quickly called Cao Qinmo over.

Although Cao Qinmo's illness had not yet fully recovered, her complexion now looked much better than before.

Yi Xiu said: "Since the poison was put in the charcoal given to Cao Changzai, the poison might also be aimed at Cao Changzai."

Cao Qinmo reacted immediately, "Empress, Your Majesty, someone must want to harm me."

Concubine Rui said, "It's you who is harming me! I just used some of your charcoal, but you actually want to kill me!"

"You have such a vicious heart!"

Yixiu sat on top, not favoring Cao Qinmo, "Your Majesty, the sick Cao Changzai, maybe Cao Changzai was also poisoned."

The imperial physician examined Cao Qinmo and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, Miss Cao has also been poisoned."

Concubine Rui's face changed.

"Impossible, she poisoned me!"

The more Concubine Rui spoke, the more panicked she became. "You must be trying to hurt me, even at the cost of yourself."

Cao Qinmo said, "What Noble Lady Rui said was true the other way around, but it's not true now. If I wanted to harm you, how could I have gotten sick so long before you?"

Rui Guiren said: "How do I know what you are thinking? Maybe you want to clear yourself..."

Concubine Rui knelt on the ground with a very sincere expression, "Your Majesty, I did have some conflicts with Concubine Cao at the beginning, but I just took her charcoal and had no intention of harming anyone. Now I know I was wrong."

Lady Rui's voice was very hoarse.

She had no idea what this poison was.

If someone attacked Cao Qinmo, she would naturally be happy to see it, but what if that person wanted to attack her?

Since she was chosen as a pawn by the Guo Luoluo family, she has done well in all aspects and her reactions are not slow.

It wasn't her fault, so why should she feel guilty?

Yinzhen said, "Go and find out who handled the charcoal fire."
