Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (Legend of Ruyi / Hou Gong Ruyi Zhuan / 如懿传)

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 84

Your Highness. You have been kneeling all night.

If you continue kneeling, your body won't bear.

At least drink some water.

I will go make some porridge for you.

Consort Yu, His Majesty already said.

If you're here to speak on behalf of Yikun Palace,

you can't spare it.

Rongpei.

I'm here.

What's wrong?

Help me up.

Yes.

Slower.

Let's go to the closet.

Yes.

Open the closet.

You're intending to do what?

You're still not back?

I have a plea.

We're here already and you will want to beg for Ruyi?

Madam Na is Sister's only family.

Now she's left the world and no one is there to conduct the after.

I beg you.

To allow me to see Sister at Yikun Palace.

Consider it as asking Sister about Madam Na's funeral.

I already approved for Madam Na's generous burial.

Your Majesty, since you already buried Madam Na generously,

it means you have regarded her as family too.

I beg you to make allowance.

After you see her, go to Yuanming Garden immediately.

I thank you.

Sister. His Majesty told me to go to Yuanming Garden immediately.

To carry out Yongqi's memorial prayer.

You help me burn an incense daily for Yongqi for me too.

I will.

Your Highness, your medicine.

Later.

12th prince. You needn't worry too much either.

His Majesty is keeping him at Xiefang Hall.

And Concubine Rong will look after him extra for me too.

Did you find out anything about Hu Yunjiao?

Since your instruction,

I have had someone ask around from Yongqi's manor.

It's strange actually.

Hu Yunjiao, since she went to Yongqi's manor,

she never went back to her maiden home to see family.

And she had not much contact with the outside either.

Only occasionally coming to me to pay respect, she was always with Yongqi.

And I can't tell who was her mastermind.

When she came to pay respect to you, was she strange at all?

She did not say much.

She would only stay briefly and leave.

But I heard from the servants,

that she usually stays half a day when she's in the palace.

Could it be that she went to the imperial garden to stroll around?

Or did she do something?

Sister. How are you coughing so much?

Take your medicine.

It's alright.

But how was she when she was with Yongqi.

She and Yongqi were great together.

But there is one thing that makes me mad.

When she is with the main wife, he always bathed in hot water.

But when he was with Hu Yunjiao,

Hu Yunjiao always let Yongqi be stubborn,

and let him bathe in cold water and dressed in slight.

Even at times, she would eat food that are chilly to the body together.

Yongqi's body can't be chilled.

Fatigue. The way she served Yongqi.

It was to ask for his life.

I had someone look into Hu Yunjiao's things.

And we found this in her room.

What is this prescription? So detailed.

There's no name on it either.

It seems to be quite old.

I find it to be strange so I brought it for you to see.

Usually a prescription would have a name on it.

This is indeed strange.

Before you go to Yuanming Gardnen, ask Jiang Yubin to look into it thoroughly.

Hu Yunjiao's item. Don't touch them.

Look into them in detail to see if any other clues.

Be assured, sister. I will get it done thoroughly.

Other than investigating Hu Yunjiao, there are a few things.

That i need you to do.

Give me the instructions and I will get them done.

She's always coughing like this?

Lingusticum, Peach Kernel, Spatholobus, Deer Antler.

Mistress, based on your orders,

I've already delivered the summer items to Twelfth Prince.

Consort Yu has sent words from Her Highness in Yikun Palace.

Immediately go to Qifu Temple and look for our clan member.

Tell them to tell father to follow the ones written on the letter

and find this person that got exiled to the borderlands.

Yes.

Greetings, mother.

- Quickly rise. - Thank you, mother.

Mother, these are the items left by Lady Hu.

Take good care of yourself.

Quickly go back.

I will take my leave.

Li Yu, you must meticulously check

the items left by Hu Yingjiao.

Yes.

Also, the matter about the exchanging of information between the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City,

I will leave it all to you to handle.

Even though I am in the Summer Palace, my disciples are all here in the Forbidden City.

I surely will do this task well.

Your Majesty, Consort Yu went to the Summer Palace and sent words.

She went to Yikun Palace and visited Her Highness.

Her Highness is currently sick from excessive grief.

She wants to earnestly ask you to allow the Imperial Physician to check on her.

What illness does she have?

Her Highness successively lost her son and mother.

She surely must be grieving a lot.

We will know it once the Imperial Physician sees her.

Your Majesty, you are not banning the imperial physicians to see her too, right?

Why would I? I have already ordered that her mother be given an elaborate funeral.

Letting the Imperial Physician see her is fine with me.

We should send a trustworthy one.

Don't let anyone mix in and harm her.

Okay. I will arrange for Imperial Physician Jiang to Yikun Palace then.

Okay.

How is your investigation on the prescription that Consort Yu handed going?

I've checked it. The handwriting is indeed by Imperial Physician Bao.

Imperial Physician Bao.

I fear that I might be wrong, so I especially took

the previous texts on pulses written by Imperial Physician to compare. I have confirmed it.

But Imperial Physician Bao has never went to the the manor of Prince Rong to treat him.

I used the prescription to test him, be he denies not knowing anything.

Imperial Physician Bao has always been treating Wei Yanwan.

Hu Yunjiao and Wei Yanwan being connected is not surprising to me.

What is the prescription for?

It's for a very rare blood disorder.

Anyone who contracted this kind of illness is hard to cure.

The child will also be unable to live beyond the prime of his life.

This prescription are all precious ingredients that commoners can't afford.

Most will just die.

Could it be Hu Yunjiao has such an illness?

Wei Yanwan used this prescription

to instruct Hu Yunjiao to point her finger at me.

I still have one thing to report. Consort Yu brought me some of Princess Consort Hu's leftover things.

There is one thing that seems inappropriate. I brought it to show you.

This was found by the wife of Prince Rong at the drawer beside his bed.

It is a possession of Princess Consort Hu, previously a container of a fragrant powder.

I've tested the powder.

It is a colorless and tasteless poison.

If you use it on a superficial wound, just a little is fatal.

Superficial wound?

Superficial wound...

That time, Yongqi's bones are already decaying because of his bone cellulitis.

Could Hu Yunjiao have applied this on Yongqi?

Yongqi didn't die simply from an illness?

But when Prince Rong died,

I was by his side. Prince Rong, didn't show any signs of being poisoned.

Who would place such things by the bed of Yongqi for nothing?

Recalling the events carefully,

the more frequent Hu Yunjiao was around Yongqi,

seems to have worsened his symptoms.

I've checked it. This item is only found in the Internal Palace.

Internal Palace?

Hu Yunjiao frequently comes to the palace to visit Hai Lan.

But she usually leaves after sitting for a short while.

However, she would stay here in the palace for half a day.

So, she indeed has some communications with someone here in the palace.

Their target is not only me, but also Yongqi.

Maybe, even Yongji—

How come Her Highness is coughing this bad?

Your Highness, let me examine you.

Come.

What?

Just be frank.

Your Highness, your cough illness is quite grave.

It has already become a chronic disease.

This illness is very dangerous.

You must have it treated well.

How dangerous?

Just tell me, how long can I still live?

Your Highness, you need to peacefully nurse your health in illnesses like this.

You must not tire yourself anymore.

Don't worry.

I surely will use all my knowledge to cure you.

How long am I going to live?

Probably...

Probably just 3 to 4 months.

That's enough.

Jiang Yubin,

you know that I have things that I must do.

If you really cares about me,

then do as I have instructed.

Your Highness, don't worry. I surely will do my best

to use drugs in maintaining your spirit up.

Okay.

You two must not tell anyone about my illness.

You only need to tell them

that I am ill because of grieving.

Yes.

Quickly look. This child looks very blessed.

Congratulations, Sister, for bearing a prince as His Majesty wished.
