Who knew that as soon as she entered the Cining Palace, she saw Ruan Ningyun crying with tears in her eyes.
"Queen, I want to ask you, did you know that Concubine Zi was poisoned?" Queen Mother Yao even changed her address.
Su Bei held Ruyang and walked forward, "I know, so I bled her to detoxify her. Isn't she feeling much better now? She doesn't faint so often anymore, does she?"
"Prince Zunyi can detoxify. He was the one who detoxified the son of Lord Li, the Minister of Works..." Ruan Ningyun said sadly.
Su Bei was a little embarrassed, "Actually... he wanted me to practice... but now I can solve it pretty well, right?"
She told the truth directly, and Queen Mother Yao was no longer angry.
"Does Prince Zunyi have an antidote?" asked Queen Mother Yao.
"I asked, and he also did bloodletting to detoxify, and more than once." Su Bei answered sincerely.
But Ruan Ningyun refused to give in, "With his medical skills, he would definitely not stab someone so hard that their mouth and eyes become crooked..."
"Your posture is not crooked..." Su Bei looked her up and down.
"But I can't hear with my right ear!" Ruan Ningyun said pitifully, then she knelt forward and hugged Queen Mother Yao's legs, "Mother, I can't have children, and I'm deaf in one ear. Please have pity on me and let me raise Princess Ruyang!"
Queen Mother Yao was a little moved. After all, she was her niece. Even if she was not favored, she couldn't let her be too miserable, right? But Su Bei asked, "Have you recovered from your typhoid fever?"
This sentence touched Queen Mother Yao's heart. She waved her hand and said, "Quickly bring Ruyang to me."
Then she waved her hand again, "Pin Zi, please sit over there first."
Obviously with disgust.
Ruan Ningyun planned carefully for a long time, but failed in the first battle.
But she was not discouraged, and hurriedly said: "Mother, my cold has healed, and I have made a few small clothes, please see!"
As she spoke, her maid took out some small clothes.
The clothes were made quite finely, all using silk and satin, which showed that she had put a lot of thought into it.
"Mother! The Queen has to take care of three children, so Ruyang should be left to me..." Ruan Ningyun took the opportunity to say.
Queen Mother Yao was somewhat moved.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard someone report that Prince Jin and his wife had arrived.
These two people also heard that Princess Ruyang had returned to the palace, so they came here specially.
As soon as he entered the room, Chu Youyang jumped forward and said, "Is Ruyang okay? Can we take her back this time?"
Queen Mother Yao looked at Ruan Ningyun in embarrassment and said, "It's like this, Concubine Zi has been with the Emperor for a long time but has no children, so she wants to..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Youyang's head was shaking like a rattle, "If she doesn't have any children, then find a way to give birth! We agreed last time that we will take Ruyang back when she gets better..."
After all, Ruyang was Qin Meizhi's child, and Chu Youyang had a closer relationship with her. Ruan Ningyun knew that if they took the child back, she would definitely have no chance, so she changed her direction.
"Ruyang has just returned to the palace. It doesn't matter whether I take the child with me or not, but it is better to let the Queen take care of him. After all, she has experience in raising children." As long as Ruyang is in the palace, she has hope.
Su Bei looked at her with disdain. This guy really knows how to change his attitude according to the situation!
But it was also her idea to keep Ruyang by her side.
"King Zunyi said that although Ruyang has recovered, he still needs careful care. The child is relatively weak." Su Bei said.
Chu Youyang was very unhappy, but what Su Bei said made sense, so he had to go to see Ruyang with Xue Jinrong, and then went back.
Being interrupted by them, Empress Dowager Yao also forgot about Ruan Ningyun being poisoned.
After they all left, Ruan Ningyun hinted at her about this again.
"But I heard that the emperor didn't let you in when you went to the imperial study several times to deliver soup..." Empress Dowager Yao said in a deep voice.
Ruan Ningyun felt as if she was stabbed in the heart. This was not a secret at all. Everyone in the entire palace knew that Wanfu Palace was turned into a cold palace by Ruan Ningyun, and that the Queen had the exclusive favor of the room. There was no precedent in history for this.
If an unfavored person poisons a favored one, everyone would believe it. But it seems unnecessary for a favored person to poison an unfavored one.
Moreover, the Queen Mother went to treat Concubine Zi’s illness every three days. She was really conscientious.
Ruan Ningyun was very unwilling to achieve her goal, so she walked towards Wanfu Palace angrily. She didn't like any flowers or plants along the way, not to mention the team of northern dancers walking in the opposite direction.
"You! Go to Wanfu Palace and dance for me!" she ordered domineeringly.
This group of dancers had not had any work for a long time since they entered the palace. They had been cleaning the music hall recently. When they heard that someone wanted them to dance, they all went there happily.
But Ruan Ningyun didn't want to watch the singing and dancing, she just wanted to vent her anger, so she said that they didn't dance well and asked them to dance again, and then she said that they were too exposed and asked them to put on cloaks, making these dancers miserable.
In the middle of summer, they all wore thick cloaks and danced several songs in a row. The dancers fell down one after another. Those who did not fall also pretended to faint.
However, there was only one person who came forward sweating profusely and offered Ruan Ningyun a glass of wine, "Empress Zipin, long time no see."
The voice was very familiar, but Ruan Ningyun couldn't remember who it was.
"Take off your veil!" she ordered.
When the veil was removed, Ruan Ningyun was shocked.
Although she was not very close to the Mo family before, everyone knew Princess Mu - Mo Qinglian.
"I...I thought you had already..." Ruan Ningyun was shocked beyond words.
Mo Qinglian remained calm and said, "There are too many people here, please leave me alone, Madam Zipin."
The Princess Mu, who was once high and mighty, actually said the word "slave" so fluently, as if all her former glory was just a passing cloud.
Ruan Ningyun originally thought that she was very patient, but after comparing herself to this, she felt that she was not good enough.
After sending away all the dancers and palace maids, Ruan Ningyun and Mo Qinglian sat opposite each other and began to talk.
As both were legitimate daughters, they had known each other for a long time and had even more to talk about when they met again.
After Mo Qinglian talked about her experiences during this period, she changed the subject and said, "I heard about the poisoning of Concubine Zi before, and I wanted to come here at that time, but the manager of the music hall was keeping a close eye on her. Do you know who poisoned her?"
Ruan Ningyun tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand, "Bei! Dan! Zhu!"
Mo Qinglian nodded, "I didn't expect that the Queen had already noticed it. It was indeed her! When she was in the North, she had given this kind of poison to the Emperor of Hell's favorite concubine!"
As she spoke, she looked at Ruan Ningyun with regret, "I wonder if your Majesty knows that this poison may seem easy to cure, but it actually damages the root..."
Ruan Ningyun didn't say anything, but her eyes told it all. She already knew that if Bei Danzhu wasn't the princess of the Northland, she would have to kill Bei Danzhu!
She even regards Bei Danzhu as her best friend!
But Mo Qinglian said: "My lady, if the knife is in the hands of the enemy, it will be a sharp blade that will kill you. If it is in your own hands..."
