Chapter 6 Thank you, my dad!
"When I was traveling in my early years, I received advice from a folk expert. He said that if I encounter a situation like this, I just need to throw the witch doll into the oil pan and let it be punished. The retribution will then come to the person who made the doll. The curse will be lifted, and you don't have to worry, my beloved." Lu Yanshi made up the lie without changing his expression.
After hearing this, Lu Li finally felt relieved.
[Awesome! Father is indeed very knowledgeable and well-informed, worthy of being an emperor.]
【It seems that I just worried for nothing. 】
Xia Shuyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering me." Although Xie Ruizhu was very dissatisfied with this, she could see that Lu Yanshi's decision could not be questioned, so she had to bite the bullet and thank him.
She doesn't believe in any folk masters. They must be liars.
Only Xuanlu started to panic.
This doll was made at the instruction of the Imperial Concubine. What kind of retribution will she receive?
She nervously closed her hands, her fingers almost tearing her palms.
He didn't notice Lu Li in the wet nurse's arms at all. She just stared with her eyes wide open the whole time, looking very excited.
Lu Yanshi directly ordered people to set up an oil pan in the courtyard of Weiyang Palace, and then started a fire on the spot. When bubbles began to form in the oil pan, he ordered people to throw the witch doll into it.
"Carry the Ninth Princess away, don't hurt her." He instructed gently.
Lu Li, who originally wanted to eat the melons up close: …
Thank you, my dad!
Seeing how much he cared about Lu Li, Xie Ruizhu's back teeth were broken.
As the witch doll was thrown into the frying pan, Xuan Lu's anxiety reached its peak at this moment.
"Ah!!!!" she screamed, and she felt a burning pain all over her body.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much." She fell to the ground screaming, covering her face and rolling back and forth without caring about her image, trying to relieve the pain.
"Why don't we catch this culprit!" Lu Yanshi ordered with a dark face.
Xie Ruizhu was terrified.
She didn't expect that the method proposed by the emperor would actually be useful.
The guards heard Lu Yanshi's order and hurried forward.
Everyone was horrified when they found blisters on her body for no apparent reason. She screamed when touched, and she fainted from the pain before she even had time to beg for mercy.
"Wuwuwuwu, I was not strict in my ruling, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xie Ruizhu thought quickly and immediately knelt down to apologize.
Xuanlu is a useless chess piece and cannot be kept.
The most urgent thing is to get yourself out of this situation.
"She is a maid left by my mother. I thought she would be loyal to me, but I didn't expect that she wanted to kill two birds with one stone. First she slandered Sister Xia, and then she wanted to harm me and take my place. What a vicious mind."
"If it weren't for your Majesty's keen observation today, I would have died at an unknown time. Wuwuwuwu."
Xie Ruizhu appeared to be apologizing, but in reality she portrayed herself as a "victim".
Xia Shuyi just felt extremely disgusted.
When they harmed her, they called her Concubine Xia, and now they call her Sister Xia. It's really disgusting.
No, she must write a letter to inform her father and brother, and ask them to report the Xie family's collusion with the White Lotus Sect to His Majesty.
"You are not strict in your administration, so you deserve to be punished." Lu Yanshi thought about what his daughter had said about the things that the Xie family had done, and he no longer had the tenderness and good feelings he had before towards Xie Ruizhu.
"From today on, you will be confined to the palace and copy scriptures and pray for Xiaojiu. You can come out when you have copied a thousand times."
When Xie Ruizhu heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
A thousand times. Even if she copied it ten times a day, it would take her a hundred days.
After a hundred days, will the emperor still remember her?
[Humph, she got it cheap. ]
Lu Li was very dissatisfied with this treatment, but as a little kid, she couldn't say anything and had no way to protest.
[We can only wait for Father to find out that the Xie family is causing trouble! ]
[Alas, I don't know when my father will find out. How should I remind him? ]
[It's a pity that I can't speak. This really worries me. 】
Lu Li was afraid that if she continued thinking like this, she would become bald with worry before her baby’s full moon.
[Forget it, at worst I can go and ask the old man of Heaven to help me and let him arrange for me to be reborn again. Next time, I must keep my eyes open!]
Lu Li's little brain couldn't bear thinking so much at once. She yawned and fell asleep.
Lu Yanshi: I’m so angry. He didn’t even give his father a chance, but he already started thinking about his next reincarnation.
Xia Shuyi: No, I must let my father and brother tell the emperor about this as soon as possible, otherwise my daughter will be gone.
"My dear, you should have a good rest. I am sorry for what happened today." Lu Yanshi comforted Xia Shuyi with a few words, then left.
He had to ask his confidant to investigate the White Lotus Sect and find out what was going on.
Xia Shuyi also hurried back to write a letter and have it sent out of the palace.
The Xia family must secure this overwhelming wealth.
Xie Ruizhu, who was lying on the ground, was carried back to her bedroom.
The news soon spread throughout the harem.
Thanks to Xie Ruizhu, if she hadn't arranged for someone to create a witch doll in Yuxiu Palace and spread the news that Xia Shuyi wanted to harm her, this matter would not have spread so widely.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the witch doll was a fight between the two concubines, but this time, the usually favored Concubine Gui had fallen into the hands of Concubine Xia.
It seems that the situation in the harem is about to change.
The concubines in the harem had different thoughts and were all wondering what to do next.
Should he try to please Concubine Xia and get her help in suppressing Concubine Xie, or should he help Concubine Xie in her time of need and win her favor?
After all, the noble concubine had been defeated by the queen before, but she regained her favor. Who can say for sure that if she failed this time, she would not succeed next time.
Song Yulan is one of those people who firmly believes that the noble concubine will rise again.
She decided to visit Xie Ruizhu and see if she could get any help from her.
The next day, she went to Changchun Palace with supplements.
"Your Majesty, Lady Song is here." Xuancao went to announce it tremblingly.
"What is she doing here? Does she want to see me make fun of her? Get out of here!" Xie Ruizhu couldn't accept the fact that she was under house arrest and her temper was extremely bad.
"Yes." Xuancao hurried out to refuse Song Yulan's visit.
"Then please tell the Royal Concubine for me, tell her to take care of herself." Song Yulan handed over the things she had prepared in advance through the palace maid.
Hemerocallis nodded in agreement and handed it to Xie Ruizhu.
Xie Ruizhu knocked things over impatiently.
"Any cat or dog dares to come and see me make fun of myself, right? Get out, get them out."
A letter fell down.
Xie Ruizhu caught a glimpse of some familiar handwriting on it and suddenly came to her senses.
"Quick, bring the letter to me for my inspection."
