The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters

A few months later, the red plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom. Ruyi became interested and took Rong Pei to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the red plum blossoms.

Rong Pei saw that Ruyi was in a good mood today and said with a smile, "The Queen is often bored in the palace. It's rare that she is in a good mood today."

Ruyi said, "When I was young, I loved plum blossoms the most. At that time, the emperor sent all the plum blossom products in the palace to Yikun Palace for me to use alone. So many years have passed, the red plum blossoms are still there, but things and people have changed."

Rong Pei comforted Ruyi, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The twelfth prince is getting older. Isn't the emperor intending to choose a wife for him? I heard that her family background is quite good, which shows that the emperor still values ​​our twelfth prince."

Ruyi sighed and said, "What's the point of paying attention to him? When Yongqi was as old as Yongji, he was already a Beile. Empress Xiaoxian's Prince Duanhui was even secretly appointed as the crown prince by the emperor when he was only a few years old."

"Although Concubine Ling's daughter Jingyu is a princess, she was only six or seven years old when the emperor arranged for her to be married to Lawangdorji. Lawangdorji has lived in the capital for the past few years and has often seen the Seventh Princess. The relationship between the two is quite good."

"The Mongolian prince Chenggunzabu has asked the emperor for permission to confer the title of Crown Prince to Lawangdorji. When the Seventh Princess gets married in the future, the emperor may really confer the title of Princess Gulun. But Yongji is already so old, and the emperor has not given her any title yet!"

Rong Pei said: "The Empress and the Emperor have different feelings, so why compare her with Empress Xiaoxian and Concubine Ling? Even if Crown Prince Duanhui and Prince Zhe were favored by the Emperor, they would still die early. Even if Concubine Ling's Seventh Princess is lucky enough to be named a Princess of the First Rank in the future, she will only be a princess."

"Although the Emperor has not yet bestowed a title on the twelfth prince, when the Emperor appointed Prince Duanhui as the heir, didn't no one know about it? How could the Empress know that our twelfth prince's name was not behind the plaque of Zhengda Guangming?"

After being comforted by Rong Pei, Ruyi felt much better and hoped that things would turn out as Rong Pei said.

Ruyi was about to leave when she suddenly glanced and saw a familiar figure, who seemed to be Ling Yunche.

Ruyi said to Rong Pei, "Ling Yunche? The eunuch sweeping the floor seems to be Ling Yunche. Rong Pei, did you see him?"

Rong Pei immediately looked around vigilantly and stopped Ruyi who was about to look for Ling Yunche, "Empress, we are in the Imperial Garden. It would be bad if someone saw us!"

Ruyi didn't care and pushed aside her jewelry. "There's no one around here, who would notice? I just wanted to ask if he was doing well. What would others say if they saw it?"

There was snow everywhere. Ling Yunche was wearing thin clothes and was sweeping the snow in the Merlin with a big broom.

Ruyi walked behind Ling Yunche and confirmed that the eunuch sweeping the floor was indeed Ling Yunche. She said happily, "Ling Yunche? It's really you!"

Ling Yunche turned around, knelt on the ground and greeted, "Your servant Ling Yunche pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Ruyi hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

Rong Pei was unable to stop the two from meeting, so she took a few steps back and vigilantly looked around for Ruyi.

Ruyi asked, "How have you been this year? Is Maoqian still giving you trouble? Just be patient. When spring comes, I will ask Lingzhi to transfer you to the Sizhiku."

Since Ling Yunche became a eunuch, he has been living a life that is not like a human being.

He knew that the people in the palace would not sympathize with him and would only torture and humiliate him in various ways.

So during this year, he had already learned not to complain to anyone.

But looking at Ruyi's concerned eyes, Ling Yunche's already cold and numb heart was slightly touched.

It turned out that in this deep palace full of intrigue and deception, there was someone who truly cared about him, a lowly eunuch like him.

Ling Yunche was deeply moved. He had a lot of grievances in his heart that he wanted to express. When Ruyi asked this, he could no longer hold back his tears.

"Your Majesty, I am just a lowly eunuch, not worthy of your concern. I just hope that I have not brought any trouble to you."

Ruyi frowned when she saw that Ling Yunche was not only wearing tattered clothes, but also had a pale face, thin body and bony bones.

"Didn't I ask Lingzhi to take good care of you? How did you become like this?"

Ling Yunche said: "I don't know why Lingzhi changed her attitude towards me. She and Aunt Li tortured me together. Queen, Lingzhi has betrayed you. You must not trust her anymore!"

When Rong Pei heard this, she immediately complained, "It was Concubine Ling who transferred Lingzhi away from Yikun Palace. It must have been at that time that Lingzhi betrayed the Empress! Lingzhi was an old friend of the Empress when she was Concubine Xian, and she was bribed by Concubine Ling. How hateful!"

Ruyi said angrily, "I have been kind to Lingzhi, but she is so cruel! I thought I had found a good place for you, but I didn't expect it would harm you instead. It's my fault."

"Ling Yunche, don't worry. I will definitely hold Lingzhi and Aunt Li accountable and seek justice for you. Please be patient for a few days!"

Ling Yunche has had enough of this kind of life of being discriminated against, bullied, hungry and sleeping in the open.

There was no end in sight for this kind of day, which made him feel extremely desperate.

He was very lucky to see the Queen again today, and he was overjoyed to get the Queen's promise to save him from suffering.

Ling Yunche said happily: "Thank you for your grace, Queen! Queen, I always remember the days in the cold palace. I always remember to pick up and drop off the twelfth prince to and from school for you."

"I know you love plum blossoms the most. I have an unwelcome request. I would like to pick another red plum blossom for you. Would Her Majesty allow me to do so?"

Ruyi nodded and agreed happily.

Ling Yunche stood up and solemnly picked a red plum blossom that he thought was the most beautiful from the red plum tree and gave it to Ruyi.

"Empress, I know that your life in the palace is not easy and you have suffered a lot of grievances. I hope you can be like this red plum blossom, proudly blooming in the snow, and maintain your noble character like the red plum blossom!"

When Ruyi heard Ling Yunche's heartfelt words, she thought that Ling Yunche was her confidant. Her eyes slightly reddened as she took the red plum from Ling Yunche's hand.

She promised again: "Don't worry, I will not sit idly by and do nothing, nor will I rely on others. I will definitely save you from suffering. In three days, I will personally tell you the good news here!"

Ling Yunche left with many thanks, and Ruyi returned to Yikun Palace with the red plum blossom.

Although Rong Pei was very cautious, the movements here were still seen by those who were interested.

I heard that Ruyi will meet Ling Yunche here again in three days.

Some people have already started making secret arrangements, waiting for the show to begin in three days.
