Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened for a moment. Ruyi woke up quickly and immediately said, "It's the voice of nobleman Yi, why don't you go in and take a look!"

Ruyi was in a hurry and immediately brought people to rush in before entering the warm pavilion. However, she saw that nobleman Yi was so scared that he was huddled on the purple flower pear-rolled straw-patterned Yang Fei's couch in the warm pavilion. The brocade quilt on her body was curled up. She called out "Gui Yi" but saw nobleman Yi was shocked. Her whole face was white and covered with blue gray. She pointed to the embroidered blanket on the ground and shouted: "Save me! Queen Xian, save me!"

Ruyi's eyes touched the ground, and she was so scared that she almost took a few steps back. The palace people couldn't help but exclaim. It turned out that a gray snake coiled around it, spitting out a scarlet core, swaying on the ground.

A little eunuch exclaimed: "Oh, this is a viper, it is poisonous! It is poisonous!"

Everyone was so scared that they stepped back more than ten steps away. The nobleman Yi saw the snake swimming closer and closer, and almost fainted. Ruyi was in a panic. Seeing the snake approaching Yi's nobleman Yi's side by side, she was even more scared. If the fetus in Yi's belly hurts, the emperor's mood was slightly calmer and he didn't know what it would look like.

She made a fuss and told the little eunuch beside her, "Do you have realgar powder in your palace?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! This is always available in the palace."

Ruyi hurriedly ordered him to take realgar powder, and then splashed it over. The snake suddenly felt the smell of realgar, and its movement was a little slow. Ruyi hurriedly reached out to take a dust duster by the palace servant beside the green gauze cabinet, picked up the snake's body and threw it out, and immediately said: "Let me find someone to smash it with a big stone, and be sure to kill it."

The eunuchs were so scared that they were still in a state of mind. After following Ruyi's instructions, they hurriedly carried the realgar powder and sprinkled it, looking for a stone to smash it, but in a moment they dealt with the snake.

Concubine Yi looked at Ruyi blankly, and after a moment, she burst into tears and threw herself into Ruyi's arms, with a devastating expression: "Empress Xian, Empress Xian, thank you for saving your concubine!"

Ruyi hurriedly wrapped the brocade quilt and helped her into the bedroom. She asked, "What happened? Why did a poisonous snake suddenly appear in your warm chalet?"

The nobleman Yi said in a daze: "I felt tired and rested in the warm room, but I didn't have anyone to serve me. Unexpectedly, a snake suddenly fell from the beam, and I screamed in fear."

Ruyi caressed her heart for her, and she was also shocked: "That viper is poisonous. If it is bitten by it, it will be not only you, but also the child in your womb, and the consequences will be unimaginable. It's just a good thing, how can there be poisonous snakes in the palace?"

A Ruo brought tea to Guiren Yi and said, "The noble man drinks a cup of tea to suppress his shock. Today is Jingzhe, and I think all snakes, insects, rats and ants have come out. Guiren is pregnant and afraid of the cold, and there are also ground dragons in the palace, which is particularly warm. I am afraid that there are snakes that have attracted them."

After taking the tea, Concubine Yi took it and took a sip. She couldn't help but loosen her hand, and the whole cup of tea was poured on Ruyi. Ruyi didn't care about wiping it, but saw Concubine Yi curled up in a ball, grabbed her hand with one hand, and pressed her stomach with the other hand and cried out, "It hurts so much! My stomach hurts so much!"

When the emperor and the empress arrived, the imperial physician had already prescribed a prescription for the fertility of Concubine Yi. The people in Jingyang Palace were panicked, and Ruyi could not leave for a while. Yibi instructed the palace people to ask for medicine for the doctor, and Yibi also ordered the eunuchs to sprinkle realgar and lime in the corners of the wall to drive away the snakes.

The emperor hurried in, and the wind under his feet almost shocked Jingchen. Ruyi was guarding the head of the nobleman Yi's bed. Seeing the emperor coming in anxiously, he hurriedly stood up and said, "The emperor is blessed, and the queen is blessed."

The emperor hurriedly helped her get up and said with concern: "What's wrong with nobleman Yi?" The queen was also anxious: "Have the imperial physician been here? How could he encounter a snake again and have abdominal pain again? I came from the prince's place and felt palpitations all the way."

Ruyi hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, when the Jingzhe arrives, the snake comes out of the cave. Today, a poisonous snake appears from the Jingyang Palace. The nobleman Yi is suddenly frightened and touches the fetal energy. The imperial doctor prescribes fetal medicine and takes it. The nobleman Yi has been taking a nap for a moment, and now he should be fine."

When the emperor saw that the nobleman Yi was still frightened while sleeping, he couldn't help but feel pity: "The nobleman Yi was pregnant at the beginning and was in discomfort. Today, he encountered such a thing again, which was really scaring her."

The queen looked around and said worriedly: "Emperor, I am pregnant with a noble baby. I am so pitiful that I was frightened by such a great shock this time. I heard that snakes and even the most toxic things suddenly invaded Jingyang Palace, and I am afraid there will be any disadvantages."

The emperor hesitated and said, "What does the queen mean?"

The queen was full of concern: "Emperor, Jingyang Palace is close to Xuanqiong Gate, and the earth is wet. If snakes, insects, rats and ants are attracted to disturb the dragon fetus in the future, what should we do? According to what I see, it is better to let noble Yi move to another palace to live."

The emperor said in surprise: "Moving to another palace? I have to clean the palace garden for a while. I think I may not be able to live there even if I come to Guiren Yi."

The queen said: "Some palaces in the east and west palaces have never been inhabited, so it is not convenient to deal with them temporarily. Originally, the nobleman Yi could also move to the Yonghe Palace in front, but the Yonghe Palace is very unlucky and naturally it is impossible to live there. Yi was pregnant at the beginning, so it would be best if someone took care of him." Her eyes glanced at Ruyi's face: "Today, fortunately, the nobleman Yi was with Concubine Xian, so that everything was fine. Why not let Yi move to Yanxi Palace to stay temporarily, and wait until Jingyang Palace clears all evil things, and then ask Yi to move back."

The emperor wandered slightly and looked at Ruyi and said, "There are Concubine Xian and Concubine Hai living in Yanxi Palace, and there is also the eldest prince. Will it be too crowded to move in?"

While hesitating, I heard the nobleman Yi moan slightly, and woke up slowly. Seeing the emperor beside him, I burst into tears and said, "The emperor is here. I am frightened today. I am really afraid that I will not see the emperor."

The emperor hurriedly comforted: "Don't talk nonsense. I still hope you will give birth to a prince for me." He pondered for a moment and said: "Guy Yi is the one in the queen's room, and Changchun Palace is also spacious. Why not let Gui Yi move to the queen's harem? I can feel at ease with the queen's care."

The queen turned her face and wiped the corners of her eyes, and felt a little sad: "It was originally my duty to take care of noble Yi. But I just came from the prince and had no time to report to the emperor. My second prince was caught in a cold and had a bad health. I was just trying to take care of myself, but I was afraid that my clone would be incompetent and could not take good care of noble Yi, but instead I was forced to bear the emperor's entrusted."

The emperor stood up in surprise: "Yonglian is sick, is it important?"

When the queen mentioned her own son, she was filled with sadness and said, "It's all my fault that I have neglected my care. She also asked the emperor to allow me to take Yonglian back from the elder brother's house so that I can take care of him personally. After Yonglian recovers, I will send him back to the elder brother's house. As for noble Yi, I could have entrusted her to Concubine Hui. But the emperor also knew that although Concubine Hui was older, she was not as calm and determined as Concubine Xian. Just like today's affairs, if it weren't for Concubine Xian, the fetus of Concubine Yi would not be complete."

Concubine Yi held the emperor's sleeve and cried, "Report to the emperor, today I am fortunate that Empress Xian is calm and helps me drive away the poisonous snakes. But this place..." She looked around at Jingyang Palace with carved railings and painted buildings, and a look of horror flashed across her face: "I dare not live anymore."

The emperor pondered slightly: "Then... Ruyi, I have to let Guiren Yi go to your Yanxi Palace for a temporary stay."

Ruyi knew that she could not refuse, so she said, "When I go back, I will clean up the two east warm pavilions in the main hall for noble Yi to live in, but please don't dislike the simplicity."

Yi Guiren showed joy on his face: "How could that happen? I will bother Empress Xian in the future."

The queen also smiled: "The emperor in the palace is most concerned about Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi. They live together, so it will be more convenient for the emperor to visit him."

Ruyi felt depressed when she returned to the palace. Yibi ordered the palace servants to clean up the two rooms in the main hall and go to Hailan Hall.

Hailan was idle and was wearing a homely long dress with moon-white kesi phoenix fragrance chrysanthemum pattern, hugging a small cloisonné enamel warmer, sewing sachets under the window.

Ruyi waved her hand and signaled that Ye Xin didn't need to remind her. She turned the bead curtain and fell down the tent. She smiled and said, "The weather is getting warmer, why are you still holding a warm stove? Are you so afraid of the cold?"

Hailan looked up and smiled, "Sister is here." She handed the stove to Ruyi's arms: "Where do I use the stove myself? I'm afraid that my sister would see something cold and frightened in Jingyang Palace, so she specially prepared it for her sister."

Ruyi was slightly surprised and a beaded silk flower that was about to fall in her hair: "You are very versatile!"

Hailan pursed her lips and smiled: "Now the eyes in the palace are all looking at Jingyang Palace. I don't know what happens."

Ruyi sighed slightly: "Then from now on, all your eyes will be stared at Yanxi Palace."

"One Jingyang Palace is enough to attract poisonous snakes. After the nobleman Yi moved, the Yanxi Palace became a place where snakes, insects, rats and ants came in a row." She pulled Ruyi over and looked at the dried vanilla leaves listed on the table. "These are mint leaves, mugwort leaves, half-branch lotus, lavender, and geranium leaves, which all have the effects of deworming and warding evil spirits. After doing these, my sister hopes to hang them in the Yanxi Palace to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters."

Ruyi waved his hand to signal the palace people who served to retreat. Hailan personally presented a cup of chrysanthemum tea to Ruyi. Ruyi had no intention of drinking it, so she had to put it down and said, "You also think it's very strange that Concubine Yi suddenly encountered a snake?"

Hailan smiled faintly and reached out to push the moxa leaves on the table: "Although it is Jingzhe today, where is the palace? What's more, Guiren Yi is pregnant and everyone pays attention to it, how could a poisonous snake suddenly appear? It happened so coincidental that Guiren Yi was resting? If it wasn't my sister calm today, Guiren Yi would be expected."

Ruyi took out the silk from her sleeve, dyed a little oil paint on it, and handed it to Hailan, saying, "Look at what's strange about this oil paint?"

"My sister was born in a poor family, so she vaguely smelled this smell, and it seemed to have a scent of snakeberry juice." Hailan sniffed it gently and was shocked. "People rumored that snakes and insects like to eat snakeberry, so there are often snakes and insects appearing in snakeberry."

Ruyi's sigh was as light as clouds: "Today I ordered Jingyang Palace to be covered with realgar lime. Who knew that within just two hours of my departure, more than a dozen poisonous snakes had escaped and ran away. This was not accidental. Although I don't know where the reason was, I remembered that the Jingyang Palace was specially decorated with colorful colors to show joy because of the noble Yi's pregnancy. Although this is the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't know who has done the tricks from it, which led to these dirty things."

Hailan pondered and said, "I remember that Jingyang Palace was decorated by Concubine Yi when she was pregnant. It has been almost two months since then. When the smell of oil paint has dissipated, the smell of this snakeberry juice will be obvious. It happened that hundreds of insects were coming out before and after Jingzhe. People who think about planning this matter are very scheming, so they can arrange it in advance, so that people cannot doubt it."

Ruyi said: "It was her own intention and the queen's will. Before Yi gave birth safely, Yanxi Palace was afraid of being careful. My sister was as careful as dust, so she had to rely on you."

Hailan held Ruyi's hand tightly: "How can sister protect her sister, she will definitely treat each other like this." Ruyi was indescribable and felt that the palace garden was as heavy as ice hanging in the deep sea. With Hailan there, there was also a little more warmth to rely on.

The two of them were facing each other, but they saw Ye Xin knocking in, bringing in a cup of decoction and saying, "My master, it's time to drink the fetal medicine."

Hailan said, "Put it down, you go out."

Ruyi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I was scared when I smelled the smell of fetal medicine. But I couldn't stop drinking it, just hope that I would have a child."

Hailan smiled softly: "I don't like this smell either. It's great. If the queen is kind, we will have to do this chore." After she said that, she poured the medicine into a pot of Baozhu Camellia in the hall, as if she didn't care.

Ruyi said in surprise: "What is sister doing?"

Hailan didn't care: "I don't want to have a child or a daughter, so what can I do if I drink this? I can save my tongue from suffering."

Ruyi was quite surprised and tried to calm down and said, "My sister is not unpopular, why not take advantage of her youth to have a son and a half daughter, which is also a lifelong trust."

Hailan smiled indifferently, as if she really didn't care: "Having a child may not be a good thing. Sister, just look at Guiren Yi and Guiren Mei. Guiren Mei suffered a great disaster when she gave birth to a child. Guiren Yi was pregnant but still didn't know who was harmed by him. My sister does not have such good skills to defend herself, so she should live a peaceful life."

"But……"

Hailan smiled and pressed her index finger with her white onion roots: "No, but I have a sister to rely on, so I am not afraid of anything."

Before the nobleman Yi moved, Ruyi and Hailan had cleaned up the Yanxi Palace and hung sachets to deworm the insects in the East Warehouse where Yi Guiren wanted to live. Because he only left two rooms for Yi Guiren to live, Ruyi was also quite uneasy. Fortunately, Yi Guiren was peaceful and not a proud person. When he saw Ruyi living in the West Warehouse, he gave the east to her. He was even more grateful and only asked to bring some close-fitting things to the Yanxi Palace and the rest of the tools.

The utensils are only left in Jingyang Palace and can be taken at any time. In order to allow Concubine Yi to calm down and raise the baby, Ruyi specifically instructed Yonghuang to only whisper and not make noise every day when studying. Concubine Yi likes Yonghuang very much. Whenever she sees Yonghuang, she will say that if there is a sensible and filial child like him, she will be satisfied. In this way, although the Yanxi Palace is more crowded, it is very lively, and even the emperor must visit him once a day.

For more than ten days, even Concubine Hui sighed. She was neglected by the emperor for many days. Although she often met, she did not let her sleep. She couldn't help but sigh and asked her to move the nobleman Yi to her Xianfu Palace to live in, so that she could see the heavenly face. The emperor just smiled and asked her: "Then if Xiyue, if you see the poisonous snake, would you be so scared that you screamed and ran away first, or would you save the nobleman Yi first?"

Ruyi and Hailan took good care of Yi Guiren's fetus and checked every drink and food carefully. Even the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician had asked someone to see the medicine residue, and said that it was okay to continue drinking it. In this way, Yuxin was very happy to do the test of the medicine residue. Ruyi laughed at her: "Is the imperial physician you went to find reliable?"

Wang Xin nodded repeatedly, with a slight light in his eyes: "Yes. He is an old acquaintance in my hometown. After I entered the palace, I realized that he had become a small imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. Although his official position is humble, I believe in his medical skills."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Do you believe in his medical skills or do you believe in him?"

Wang Xin blushed and only lowered her head and said nothing. Ruyi already understood: "It seems that there is no need for me to find a family for you. You already have a sweetheart."

He was both ashamed and anxious: "I dare not."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Let him succeed in the Imperial Hospital. One day, I will definitely help you."

Wangxin looked at Ruyi gratefully: "That servant went to prepare dinner first. The emperor had already passed the oral order and said that he would come over and have dinner with the little master."

However, that night, Ruyi waited until the candle was cold and the emperor did not see him coming. Sanbao, who had gone out to inquire, hugged by the door and did not dare to come in and reply.

Ruyi slowly picked up a chopstick and took the cold honey yam. The yam was originally crispy, soft and glutinous, melted in the mouth, and also poured honey slim, which was particularly sweet and moist. However, when she was eating it in her mouth, she felt that the cold and smooth touch was unpredictable, and even the honey yam was exuding a bitter taste. She put down the chopsticks and heard the thin chains on the silver chopsticks rumbling, and said, "The emperor is not here. Why? Just say it."

Sanbao said timidly: "The emperor came out of the Yangxin Palace and was about to come to our Yanxi Palace. Unexpectedly, when he saw the Empress kneeling in front of the Gate of Kareem praying for blessings, begging the Second Prince to be healthy early. The Emperor realized that the Second Prince's cold was getting heavier and heavier. The Emperor was anxious, so he accompanied the Empress to Changchun Palace and then..."

"And then it's been there and never comes out again."

Sanbao nodded and answered yes. Ruyi scooped up the soup and drank slowly and said, "The Kareem Gate is the only way from the Yangxin Palace to the Yanxi Palace. The Empress is determined to ask for blessings from the Gods and Buddhas. Why don't you go to the Baohua Palace and go to the Kareem Gate so far? Of course, the emperor will not leave Changchun Palace."

Sanbao's eyes turned: "It is natural to go to the near and seek far away. It is a good thing to go to the near and seek far away. It kills two birds with one stone."

Ruyi smiled faintly and said to Wangxin: "Go and heat the food up, I don't have to wait hungry."

Wangxin said carefully: "Little master..."

Ruyi smiled: "The empress is the leader of the six palaces, and it is reasonable for the emperor to accompany her."

The next morning, when the emperor came over, there was already a circle of black in his eyes. Ruyi was using breakfast. When he saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor would come early in the morning and did not prepare a delicate meal. Please forgive me."

The emperor smiled and said, "It's okay. I will eat whatever you eat."

Ruyi personally brought a bowl of porridge with purple ginger, served fresh xx tea and sesame paste cakes, and said, "The emperor seems to have not slept well last night, so it's better to eat light and refresh your energy."

There was a faint worry between the emperor's eyebrows: "Yonglian has been ill for these days and has not been cured. I feel so distressed when he looks like that." He held Ruyi's hand: "Ruyi, you didn't see Yonglian's appearance. His little face was so thin that he took off. I even wanted to cry when I saw him."

Ruyi rarely saw the emperor so worried. She twitched slightly and said, "Don't worry, the second prince will definitely improve soon with the care of the Empress."

The emperor nodded and said, "The Empress said, if Yonglian doesn't get better again, he will kneel in Baohua Palace to pray for blessings." The emperor paused, and looked solemnly. Ruyi understood and immediately signaled everyone to retreat.
