Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 197: Concubine Yi’s cleverness backfired; Grandma Tian swore

"Oh, I know how hard it is to be a mother. Your daughter's illness is very expensive. Although I am not rich, fortunately I still have some money." Concubine Yi waved her hand to signal Lan'er to give a bag of silver to Grandma Tian.

Grandma Tian refused to accept it. She said, "No merit, no reward. I thank Concubine Yi, but I cannot accept this money."

"Don't be afraid. This money is for your daughter. I pity you for the hardship you have endured as a mother. It's not my intention for anything else."

In the end, Grandma Tian did not take the bag of silver and left.

But the next day, word spread throughout the palace that Grandma Tian was dishonest and had stolen Concubine Yi's things.

This matter was brought to the attention of Hongli.

At this moment, Concubine Yi was crying in the Yangxin Palace. Gao Xiyue came in with Ruyi and saw Concubine Yi crying. They looked at each other.

After the ceremony.

Gao Xiyue helped Ruyi sit down.

She said, "Princess Yi, what are you doing?"

Yipin sniffed and said, "I was originally a woman from a foreign tribe who was selected to enter the palace. I don't have much experience. Who knew that I would talk to Grandma Tian for a while yesterday?

When she talked about her daughter's illness, I felt sorry for her and thought about helping her if I could, but she didn't want the money I gave her.

But who knew she had evil thoughts and stole many things from my palace."

Gao Xiyue: "Why did you ask Grandma Tian to go for no reason?" Her question was so sharp that even Hongli began to doubt her motives.

Concubine Yi: "I also want to be happy again." She lowered her head in shame.

Ruyi: "I have brought Grandma Tian here. What exactly happened yesterday? You two should confront each other. You can't just be the only one here and have everything decided."

Concubine Yi complained aggrievedly, "Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine doubts me and doesn't believe me?"

"This is a matter concerning the two of you, so you have to listen to what Grandma Tian says. If you punish her based on your own opinion, then if it gets out, people will say that the Emperor is unfair. What will happen then?"

Since Ruyi had put such a high hat on him, Hongli naturally had to make a judgment on the case.

"Send Grandma Tian up here."

In fact, Ruyi knew that Grandma Tian went to Qixiang Palace yesterday, and she guessed that Concubine Yi was up to no good.

Li Yu brought Grandma Tian in. She knelt on the ground and told him everything that happened yesterday word for word.

Gao Xiyue asked Yipin: "Why are you asking about the Imperial Noble Consort's fetus?"

Hongli also looked at her, forcing her to answer.

Concubine Yi knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, as your concubine, isn't it also wrong for me to show some concern for the Imperial Noble Concubine?"

"Is it out of concern, or do you have ulterior motives? The Imperial Concubine is about to give birth, and you're asking the midwife to question her. If she does anything, the Imperial Concubine's life and the child's life will be in jeopardy..." Gao Xiyue hesitated, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and pretending to be surprised: "You're not really going to harm the Imperial Concubine, are you?"

Hongli stared at Concubine Yi. If looks could kill a person, Concubine Yi would have died thousands of times!

"Tell me, what are your intentions?"

Concubine Yi cried out, "Your Majesty, please believe me, I did not want to harm the Imperial Concubine, I really did not, it was she who framed me!" She pointed at Grandma Tian as she spoke.

Grandma Tian glared at her, and she immediately raised three fingers and swore, "I swear to heaven, if I lie, my whole family will die!"
