Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 280 Zhen Huan's Advice; Ruyi Asks Zhen Huan to Protect the Children

"Huh, you still know that?"

"My Queen Mother, I am a fool. Please tell me what I have done wrong."

Zhen Huan was so angry at her naivety that she lost her temper. She asked, "Are you really naive or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

Ruyi asked with the same innocent attitude, "Madam, what exactly do you want to ask me? I am completely confused."

Zhen Huan took a deep breath and said, "You guys are going to piss me off to death."

Ruyi walked over to Zhen Huan, took her arm and said coquettishly, "I hope your Majesty will live a long life!"

"Smart bastard! I'm talking about Concubine Yi. The story of her sleeping with the emperor has been widely spread. And in Concubine Wan's notebook... Hey, what is this all about?"

Zhen Huan shook her head repeatedly. She was afraid that now even the rats in the Forbidden City knew that Concubine Yi had many tricks up her sleeve when sleeping with the emperor!

Ruyi: "Empress Dowager, just pretend you haven't heard of it."

Zhen Huan turned to look at Ruyi and asked, "Are you willing too?"

"So what if I'm unwilling? The Emperor likes her to serve him. And you don't know, the Emperor likes to have many people serve him."

Zhen Huan was so embarrassed when she heard this that she had no place to hide her face!

Ruyi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Finally, I saw the Queen Mother being humiliated.

Zhen Huan knocked her head and said, "As the Queen, why don't you try to persuade the Emperor? And you're still making trouble."

Ruyi: "Empress Dowager, I dare not control the Emperor. If I ever make the Emperor unhappy and the Emperor takes back my seal, I will become a laughing stock!"

"Your brother and father were very capable in the previous dynasty. Your brother was a high-ranking scholar, and your father was skilled in flood control. But why don't you ask the emperor to give them higher official positions?"

"You know, Empress Dowager, that this position of Empress was not easy to come by. So many eyes are watching me. If I were to ask the Emperor for mercy on my mother's family, he would not be able to do it."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Yes, the former court and the harem are closely linked. I understand your considerations.

However, your father and brother are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty diligently.

The emperor saw it all, but there were other forces in the previous dynasty that hindered him in every way.

"It's rare that you care so much about him. I see that he has high hopes for Yongji."

Ruyi looked sad. She asked, "Empress Dowager, why don't you let your son become emperor?"

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and replied after a long moment: "I know what you are thinking. I am sorry for that."

"Although Yongji is the legitimate son, he is not suitable to be the emperor. In fact, being the emperor is not a good thing."

Zhen Huan nodded and patted Ruyi's hand. "It's just that these women in the harem don't understand. They fight tooth and nail to make their children the crown prince, but in the end, they can't keep anything."

"Emperors throughout history have always been suspicious. You should let go of things as soon as possible and enjoy your life. As long as Yongji is safe, I understand you."

Ruyi looked at Zhen Huan's arm and said, "Well, I just hope the children can be healthy and safe. As for whoever becomes the crown prince or the emperor, I will support him."

"I'm afraid you can't get what you want."

Ruyi frowned, "Why did the Empress Dowager say that?"

"This is a fight for the throne. Even if your Yongji doesn't fight for it, will others let him go?

Don't forget that he is the legitimate son, which means his life will be unstable."

Ruyi: "So, I hope that the Empress Dowager will protect Yongqi and Yongjing!"
