Chapter 180 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Bai Ruiji 7
After seeing off Consort Hui, the other concubines walked back together. The remaining concubines, except for Consort Xian, did not ride in a carriage.
However, Consort Xian did not ride in the palanquin. Consort Hai had been falsely accused of stealing charcoal from Consort Hui and was moved by the Emperor from Xianfu Palace to Consort Xian's Yanxi Palace.
Consort Xian was afraid that Consort Hai would be lonely and troubled, so she walked with Consort Hai to and from the place. This was a very touching gesture.
Bai Ruiji coldly glanced at the figure; no matter how well she put on a show, it was all just a facade.
If Consort Xian were truly kind, she wouldn't have let the original owner die with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
She let the original owner know the truth, but she didn't say it earlier or later. She just happened to tell it when the original owner thought she had avenged her great enemy and was about to die. How 'kind' she is.
Rather than being kind, it was more like she was seeking revenge for the humiliation inflicted upon her by the original owner of the body.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the residences of Consort Jia and Consort Bai. One lived in Qixiang Palace and the other in Yongshou Palace, which were close by.
Sheng Yutang —
Su Yun, while tucking Bai Ruiji's hair in, said, "My lady, news came from Consort Xian's palace yesterday that she seems to want to bring up the matter of posthumously conferring the title of Rehe Imperial Palace upon Li Jingui on her birthday."
Bai Ruiji secretly developed her own manpower after arriving in this world. She had no shortage of money, and she would store some in the system space in each world.
She wasn't worried about people betraying her, since she had ways to prevent them from having thoughts of betrayal.
She also had people in Yanxi Palace, and this news was also orchestrated by her. However, Su Yun only thought that the person was someone she had bribed after entering the palace.
Bai Ruiji smoothed the tassels on her headdress, looked at her stunningly beautiful reflection in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Pass this message on to the Empress Dowager. She will surely find a way to make Consort Xian suffer a great loss."
Let the Empress Dowager handle these kinds of scheming matters; after all, she's taking her anger out on Consort Xian because of the Empress Jingren Palace incident.
Not only that, she will also let the Empress Dowager know about Li Yu sending the velvet flower to Su Xin.
This is precisely why she didn't change her mind about becoming the Empress Dowager's spy. Wouldn't it be better to use the Empress Dowager to clear obstacles for herself?
"yes."
Upon receiving the news, the Empress Dowager spoke to the Emperor first about posthumously honoring the late Emperor's concubines on an auspicious day, and even hinted that the one at the Rehe Palace would also be posthumously honored as a Dowager Consort.
So when Consort Xian brought up the matter on her birthday, the Emperor subconsciously felt that Consort Xian had heard some rumors.
After investigation, the Empress's men from Jingren Palace were found in his Yangxin Hall. During the interrogation by the Shenxing Division, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, which caused the Emperor to neglect Consort Xian.
The second day of the fourth lunar month is Bai Ruiji's birthday.
"What do you think the Emperor will give me for my birthday?"
Bai Ruiji has always preferred light-colored clothes, and today she wore a crimson cheongsam, which made her look even more radiant.
Mo Hua helped Bai Ruiji sit on the couch and said, "You'll know when the Emperor comes tonight, why are you in such a hurry, my lady?"
"It's not the Emperor yet. A few days ago, he mysteriously told me that he had a big gift for me today. I've been thinking about it so much these past few days that my head is aching. I still can't figure out what kind of big gift it could be."
Bai Ruiji rested her elbows on the table, rubbed her forehead, and sighed.
"My lord, Eunuch Wang from the Imperial Household Department has arrived, saying he's here to deliver an imperial decree!" Xiao Anzi ran into the room to report.
"A decree?" Bai Ruiji stood up in surprise. "Could it be... a grand gift to promote me?"
"Your Majesty, let's go receive the imperial decree first." Su Yun walked to Bai Ruiji's side and helped her walk outside.
