In the deep palace of the Forbidden City, the conversation between Ruyi and Lian Xin quietly unfolded.Ruyi, that virtuous and virtuous concubine, listened to Lian Xin's painful talk.Lian Xin was once Wang Qin's wife. Her experience is heartbreaking.Wang Qin's animal behavior made her tremble in the dark night and her body was covered with bruises.She couldn't bear the pain, so she chose to create the illusion of falling into the water in order to find some relief.
Ruyi looked at Lian Xin's scarred arm and felt a strong sympathy in her heart.She knew very well that Lian Xin's pain came not only from physical injuries, but also from mental torture.Ruyi gently held Lian Xin's hand and said softly: "I can help you escape from the sea of suffering, but you still have to wait for the opportunity."%
At the same time, the emperor paid special attention to Mei Guiren's dragon fetus.The little prince who was about to be born was given three names by the Ministry of Internal Affairs: Yongxun, Yongqi and Yongjue.The names of the princesses are Xuan Ying and Jing Fu.Ruyi chose the name Yongqi in front of the emperor, and the emperor agreed.At this time, the eunuch came to report that Meigui's fetal energy suddenly fluctuated, and she was afraid that she was about to give birth.
The emperor and Ruyi hurried to Yonghe Palace, but heard Mei Guiren's shrill scream.The queen also arrived soon after, and the three of them went to the side hall to wait.Soon, a faint cry of a baby came, and the imperial doctor came to report that Mei Gui had given birth to a little brother.However, this little brother was born with a defect and died shortly after birth.
The emperor insisted on taking a look at the little brother. When he lifted the swaddling clothes, everyone was shocked.The emperor was unsteady on his feet and almost fell down.The queen immediately ordered Wang Qin to declare that Mei Gui gave birth to a stillborn child and bury it immediately without letting others know.
Later, the emperor asked the queen and Ruyi to visit Mei Guiren, and he was helped out of the side hall.Wang Qin walked out of Yonghe Palace with his little brother in his arms, and bumped into the imperial concubine who came to visit.Wang Qin told the concubine that Mei Guiren had given birth to a stillborn fetus. The concubine was frightened and hurried back to the palace.
When Mei Guiren woke up, she could not see her child and was heartbroken.Ruyi told her that the child had passed away. Meigui couldn't believe it and asked whether her child was a boy or a girl.The queen told her that he was a little brother, and also asked her not to be too sad. She had already ordered the master of Anhua Palace to chant sutras for salvation.
After the Queen Mother learned that Mei Guiren's child had passed away, she lamented that Mei Guiren was not blessed.She asked the emperor to come to the palace to persuade him not to be too sad and that there would be another child.However, Mei Guiren fell into deep grief. Not only did the emperor not come to visit her within half a month, but no one else came to visit either.Mei Guiren lamented that she was trapped in Yonghe Palace, and the palace maid Yayun reminded her that she might as well think of a solution on her own.
At this moment, the emperor and his concubines came to pay their respects to the queen mother and announced good news: Lady Yi was already two months pregnant.Everyone congratulated him one after another.However, Concubine Gao told Ruyi privately that Mei Guiren's child was not as simple as stillbirth but had a different body shape.Ruyi asked where she heard these nonsense and asked the concubine to stop spreading gossip.
Just when everyone was talking about it, the news came that Mei Guiren had hanged himself. Everyone rushed to Yonghe Palace one after another. Mei Guiren had been rescued.The imperial concubine mentioned that there are rumors circulating throughout the palace that Mei Guiren gave birth to a monster, and that if she were Mei Guiren, she would hang herself.The emperor reassured Mei Guiren that there was no such thing and ordered Wang Qin to investigate where the rumors came from.
After walking out of Yonghe Palace, Gao Guiren told the emperor that it would be unlucky for Mei Guiren to give birth to a stillborn child. Now Yi Guiren is also pregnant, so why not let Mei Guiren let her go see her child.However, Ruyi believed that the death of children in the palace was a common occurrence. Mei Guiren hanged herself just because she heard the rumors and rushed to fear that she should not be punished.
