I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 424 Gao Xiyue 23

Bai Ruiji did not suspect that Suyun had betrayed her. Logically speaking, Suyun, a palace maid, should not know about cinnabar, but Suyun was the person sent by the Queen Mother when she became a concubine.

Since Su Yun is the Empress Dowager's person, it is normal for them to know about cinnabar.

She would never have thought that Su Yun, who seemed to be the Queen Mother's man, was actually Gao Xiyue's man.

After deciding to give Jin Yuyan cinnabar, you have to think about how to start. Jin Yuyan has a special person who makes kimchi.

Fortunately, the kimchi maker was greedy for money and could be easily bribed by giving a large sum of money.

After Bai Ruiji bribed this person, she did not let her put cinnabar in the kimchi. Instead, she gave the cinnabar to her. Whenever Jin Yuyan wanted to eat kimchi, she would put the cinnabar in the small dish of kimchi that Jin Yuyan was about to eat.

Gao Xiyue knew everything about Bai Ruiji's actions. Zhenshu, who was beside Jin Yuyan, was an expert in medicine. In order to prevent her from finding out, Gao Xiyue even helped Bai Ruiji cover up.

Kim Yu-yeon likes to eat kimchi, and she eats all the kimchi placed on the table during every meal.

Bai Ruiji felt very proud as she saw that Jin Yuyan didn't seem to notice anything.

Jin Yuyan considers herself a smart person, and smart people like Jin Yuyan are easily conceited. She does not take Bai Ruijin seriously and lets her hang around under her nose. It can be said that she has left hidden dangers for herself.

While Jin Yuyan was focused on getting rid of Huang Qiying's child, she didn't know that she had also been poisoned.

Bai Ruiji asked the person who made the kimchi to use a very small amount of cinnabar, so almost a month passed without being discovered.

On the other hand, Ruyi was released after reflecting for a month.

Ruyi has changed a lot this time. Every time she went to Changchun Palace to pay her respects, she would never speak unless someone asked her. If she talked about what happened on the street that day, she would become very sharp and her words would be very harsh.

She is no longer as elegant as before.

Although the emperor liked Ruyi, he had always remembered the scene where she was molested by a eunuch named Wang Qin that day. He had not forgotten it even after so long, so after Ruyi finished reflecting on it, he did not go to the Yanx Palace.

Ruyi fell out of favor, and even though she was a concubine, she was treated harshly by the Imperial Household Department. The food sent to the Yanx Palace was either stale or rotten and was completely inedible.

Moreover, the cloth sent was in tatters and even worse than those used by the palace maids.

This was too much for Ruyi to bear, she wanted to be favored again.

But Li Yu was no longer in the imperial court, and she had no idea what the emperor was thinking.

It would be impossible for the emperor to come to her on his own initiative, so she had to take the initiative.

So, the concubines in the harem saw that Concubine Xian Ruyi often sent people to the Yangxin Palace to bring the emperor Anxiang soup and snacks she made herself. She also often went out to try to meet the emperor by chance, and sent people to spread the news in the palace that she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, etc.

The emperor really fell for this trick. Before he became emperor, he was just a prince in the Old Summer Palace who was disliked and despised by the previous emperor. But Ruyi, who was still Qingying at that time, was the empress's niece, born into a prominent family and had a noble status. He was the one who tried to please her, so there was no chance for her to please him.

Even though Ruyi later became his concubine and even Empress Xian, Ruyi still did not change her attitude. She was still very arrogant and thought he was a poor little person who could be bullied by everyone, so she never took the initiative.

But now, Ruyi lowered her head, bent her waist, and took the initiative to please him. How could Hongli not feel comfortable?

Out of this mentality, and also out of his love for Ruyi, the emperor went to the Yanx Palace not long after.

Afterwards, Ruyi became favored again, and the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department also sent her good things, all of which were exquisite items.

And A Ruo, who was beside Ruyi, also regained her strength because of Ruyi, and she was finally able to get back the anger she had endured for so many days.

It was common for her to teach palace maids and eunuchs of lower status than her a lesson. She even molested some ladies, and she dared to say it to their faces.

The first to be affected was Bai Ruiji. The master and servant duo, Ruyi and A Ruo, had very strange thinking patterns. Instead of reflecting on their own mistakes for what happened that day, they thought it was Bai Ruiji's fault.

You can blame anyone but yourself. It should be Bai Ruiji who was molested by Wang Qin that day, and it should be Bai Ruiji who was disliked by the emperor. How could it be her?

This made Ruyi very angry.

So every time Ah Ruo talked about Bai Ruiji, Ruyi never stopped her. Even when Bai Ruiji was angry, Ruyi always said lightly: "Ah Ruo has been spoiled by me. Don't bother with her. When I return to the palace, I will definitely discipline her well."

She said the same thing every time, but she never punished A Ruo.

This made Bai Ruiji very angry.

Bai Ruiji had no place to vent her anger, but she couldn't swallow this.

Bai Ruiji decided to teach Ruyi a profound lesson. She planned to put the blame on Ruyi for the fact that she had caused Jin Yuyan's pregnancy.

With such a decision, her attitude towards things will be different. If Ruyi asked A Ruo to provoke her before, she would be angry, and she would still be angry now, but watching Ruyi's arrogance now also feels like watching a mouse struggling to death.

Bai Ruiji planned to think about the plan carefully, trying to avoid any mistakes and not let others suspect her.

One day, Ruyi took Arruo for a walk in the Imperial Garden. When they arrived in front of a pavilion, they happened to see Gao Xiyue sitting in the pavilion.

Ruyi saw Gao Xiyue holding Yongyu in her arms. Yongyu was talking in a baby voice, and Gao Xiyue was coaxing him patiently, smiling with a doting look.

There is an atmosphere between the mother and son that no one can interfere with, and it is very warm to watch.

This was something Ruyi had never felt, and she was very envious.

Now that she had seen it, she naturally couldn't pretend not to see it. Ruyi walked into the pavilion, and Gao Xiyue saw her, but did not move.

Ruyi knelt and saluted: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine!"

Gao Xiyue put a toy on the table into Yongyu's hand, then looked at Ruyi and said, "It's Concubine Xian, please sit down."

Ruyi felt very uncomfortable and a little jealous. When she was in the palace before, she was superior to Gao Xiyue. At that time, she was a concubine and Gao Xiyue was just a princess.

Even later, when Gao Xiyue became a concubine, her position was still not as high as hers.

But after arriving at the palace, Gao Xiyue became a noble concubine. She was a concubine, and now she has become Concubine Xian. The gap is getting bigger and bigger.

How could Ruyi accept this?

At this time, Yongyu couldn't sit still: "Mother, I want to go play."

Gao Xiyue touched his hair gently and said, "Okay, go play. Mo Xin, you can bring your people with you."

The place where Yongyu wanted to play was very close to the pavilion and was within sight.

Seeing Yongyu having fun, Gao Xiyue withdrew her gaze, and then saw the envy in Ruyi's eyes.

At this time, Gao Xiyue suddenly had an idea in her mind.
