Chapter 335: Evil Intentions Again
Yin Ruyi raised her head and said firmly,
"Your Majesty, I am just a dog by your side. For you, I am willing to die to fulfill your wish.
I want to say that I have a plan that will help you defeat the crown prince and eventually get Fang Liangdi."
Liang Hengrui sat up straight after hearing this.
"explain?"
Yin Ruyi knelt down again.
"Well, I didn't want to see you, Your Highness, lose your appetite because of Fang Qingge, so I started to think of a way for you early on.
You know, what can we women in the deep house do? It's just a conspiracy between women, and then looking for loopholes in women!
Fortunately, God helps those who work hard, and I really did smell that there was something wrong with Fang Liangdi.
Ever since I became suspicious of Fang Liangdi's identity, I secretly sent someone to Yangzhou to investigate!"
*
"Suspect?"
"Yes, to be honest with you, Your Majesty, Fang Liangdi's behavior and speech are different from those of us noble ladies who have been raised since childhood.
It is difficult for outsiders to discover it, but it is different for me. I have a very picky eye and can find anything wrong in every word and action.
After several contacts with Fang Qingge, I found that her etiquette and rules seemed to be acceptable.
But all her actions don't stand up to scrutiny in my eyes.
I think she just learned it at the last minute. She doesn't have the deep-rooted rules we developed since childhood.
So, I investigated her when I had doubts."
Liang Hengrui raised his eyebrows. He believed Yin Ruyi's explanation.
"Is there any news?"
"News has come from Yangzhou that the second daughter of Yangzhou prefect Fang Tongzheng had actually died of illness on her way to Beijing for the selection.
Fang Qingge was an imposter, and her true identity had not yet been ascertained. I had just heard the news that she had fallen off a cliff and died.
So I asked people to stop the investigation."
Yin Ruyi kowtowed respectfully to King Rui with a bang.
"Your Majesty, since Fang Qingge is not dead, it doesn't matter what her true identity is.
Should we send someone to continue investigating? As long as Fang Qingge is still alive, we can always find out her details.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be sure of victory. What do you think? "
Liang Hengrui's eyes showed surprise. This was obviously something he had not expected.
He stared straight into Yin Ruyi's eyes, suddenly reached out and lifted her chin, and said in a grim tone,
"Why do you go to so much trouble to investigate her?"
*
"My Lord, I have no other intentions, I just want to find out her identity.
The prince knew that Magistrate Fang's second daughter was dead, but he was still willing to take the risk and let Fang Qingge take the blame.
Don’t you think there is something wrong with Fang Liangdi’s identity? That’s why the prince acted like this?”
As soon as Yin Ruyi said this, Liang Hengrui slapped her hard in the face.
She was caught off guard and her head was knocked off balance. The blood on her forehead and the corners of her mouth began to drip faster.
Prince Rui took the handkerchief handed to him by Eunuch Dongzi and wiped his hands with it, then threw it on the ground.
He cursed with anger rising up,
"You stupid woman, you know that my mother was involved in her entry into the palace, so why are you still trying to drag me into this?"
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. I am not targeting the Imperial Concubine and you. Besides, the Imperial Concubine was deceived by the Crown Prince and was not aware of it at the time.
If there is really something wrong with Fang Qingge’s background.
At that time, the imperial concubine can just admit that she was deceived by the prince or deny it.
But the prince will be charged with deceiving the emperor. At that time, wouldn't it be the best excuse for you to make a fuss about it?"
Yin Ruyi said this with fear, she didn't know whether her stupid trick would be accepted by King Rui.
Can he deceive King Rui and escape the disaster?
*
After a long while, just when Yin Ruyi was trembling all over and about to collapse from fear, Prince Rui suddenly stood up.
"No matter what your intentions are, I only want to warn you. Go and investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, this scarecrow will be your fate."
After King Rui finished speaking, he snatched the scarecrow from Xiao Dongzi's hand, tore up the note with Fang Qingge's name and birth date, and set it on fire with a tinder.
The burning flames instantly engulfed the scarecrow, and King Rui threw a fireball directly at Yin Ruyi.
She screamed in fear and dodged, but her brocade dress was still burned with several black holes.
Yin Ruyi's face was pale and bloodless.
When King Rui walked out of the room, a sinister sentence floated into her ears.
"Find out as soon as possible and report truthfully. Do not act on your own. Wait for me to make the final decision."
"Yes. Farewell, Your Majesty."
After being stunned, Yin Ruyi hurriedly bowed her head to the ground and responded.
She knew that she would not die for the time being.
Of course, the air pressure in Prince Rui's Palace was so low that it was suffocating.

royal palace,
imperial study room,
Emperor Kun, who was reviewing memorials alone, was in a good mood because he had received news that the crown prince had recovered from his illness.
At the same time, there was the good news that Fang Liangdi was also alive. The two huge stones pressing on his heart were removed, making him happy.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh at the fate between the two.
While he was thinking, Emperor Kun raised his eyes and saw Eunuch De acting suspiciously at the door, and he yelled at him.
"Dezi, come in and tell me what's going on."
Eunuch De nodded and walked into the room, stammering,
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to go to the Cining Palace after you finish your work."
"Queen Mother? Is it because the Crown Prince has good news?"
"Your Majesty, part of it is also because of Concubine Xiao."
"Oh? Her? What happened? I haven't been to Ruyi Palace for many days. How did Xiao offend the Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager learned that you have been feeling unwell recently, so she asked the imperial physician. The physician said that you were tired.
The Empress Dowager heard that Concubine Xiao was also ill and had difficulty getting out of bed. The imperial physician diagnosed her with a deficiency of both qi and blood, and an imbalance of yin and yang.
The Empress Dowager must have associated your illness with the Imperial Concubine's. "
*
"Oh? Is she like this too?"
Emperor Kun sneered and laughed. He did not rush to the Cining Palace because of the Empress Dowager's worry.
"Dezi, have you noticed anything wrong with me?"
Eunuch De suddenly raised his head and said worriedly,
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm not saying I'm uncomfortable, but I have always had a question. Do you know why I went to Ruyi Palace again and never went there again after I fainted in Ruyi Palace that day?"
"Why? I don't understand. You were worried about the prince's illness."
Eunuch De was a little confused.
Emperor Kun trusted Eunuch De the most. He seemed to be talking to himself.
"I was worried that the Crown Prince might be ill.
But I didn’t go to Ruyi Palace to visit her not to ignore Ruyue, but there is a question that has been bothering me, and I still can’t figure it out! "
"Ah? What's the problem, Your Majesty?"
