As soon as Jinzhong left the Ministry of Punishment, Hailan arrived.

Hai Lan watched Ling Yunche being beaten beyond recognition and suffering a mental breakdown, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Hai Lan asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to leave, and said to Ling Yunche, "Ling Yunche, I'm here to see you."

Ling Yunche heard Hai Lan's voice and slowly calmed down, "Noble Lady Yu, you are here. How is the Queen?"

Hai Lan said: "Sister is fine, she just wants to overturn the case for you. Ling Yunche, even if sister really finds out that Lingzhi deliberately framed you and really finds out the mastermind, the emperor will not let you go!"

Ling Yunche was stunned. Although he had guessed this a long time ago, he still found it hard to accept when Hai Lan said it herself.

Ling Yunche raised his head with difficulty and looked at Hai Lan, "So Concubine Yu came to the Ministry of Punishment not to save me, but to kill me?"

Hai Lan knew how loyal Ling Yunche was to Ruyi, and how much Ruyi trusted Ling Yunche.

I even knew that during the years they had been together, feelings that shouldn't have existed had already developed between them.

Hai Lan is loyal to Ruyi and sincerely hopes that Ruyi can live a noble and happy life and reach the pinnacle of power.

Hai Lan regards Ruyi as everything in her life, so naturally she is full of affection for people who are equally loyal to Ruyi.

Hai Lan felt very uncomfortable when she heard Ling Yunche state the purpose of her visit so bluntly.

"I advised my sister to kill you for self-protection, but she didn't want to. She said she would find evidence to prove your innocence as soon as possible and forbade me to act rashly!"

"Sister is kind-hearted, but the situation is urgent now. Sister is unwilling, so I have to do it!"

"Ling Yunche, I know you have my sister in your heart. I'm sure you absolutely don't want your sister to fall into danger, and you can't accept that Concubine Ling will replace your sister as the queen one day, right?"

"Now the only way to save my sister is to sacrifice you, Ling Yunche, are you willing?"

Ling Yunche was silent for a long time, then asked, "Does the Queen really intend to overturn my case and save me? Can my death really save the Queen?"

Hailan hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true!"

"Ling Yunche, I know this is very unfair to you, but only by doing this can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory! Concubine Ling's evil ambitions are obvious. Not only did she frame you and your sister, she also let the twelfth prince witness it all!"

"The Emperor originally thought that the twelfth prince was not very talented. Now that this has happened, the Emperor must be unhappy, and it will also affect the twelfth prince's future!"

"Ling Yunche, the 12th prince is my only surviving child and my only support. You have watched him grow up since he was a child, so you should know what a kind-hearted child he is."

"Isn't it because her fifteenth prince can replace the twelfth prince and inherit the throne that Concubine Ling is trying so hard to deal with us and please the emperor? Ling Yunche, don't you want to stop her and overthrow her completely?!"

Over the past year, Ling Yunche lived without any dignity. Even though he worked his best every day and tried his best to flatter others, he still had a very difficult life.

Many times, Ling Yunche wondered what would happen if he didn't know Concubine Ling at all? What would happen if he asked the Empress to send Concubine Ling out of the palace when she was still Ying'er?

What would have happened to him if Concubine Ling had not been rescued by the Emperor under the trumpet creeper and conferred the title of noble lady?

What if Concubine Ling had been tortured to death by Jin in Qixiang Palace?

In that case, the Emperor and the Empress will still be in love, and he will still be the trusted imperial guard of the Emperor and the Empress, and the object of envy and jealousy of everyone in the palace.

Instead, his martial arts skills have been wasted, and he has been turned into a eunuch. He cannot fight back when he is beaten, and dares not retort when he is scolded.

Living a life worse than a dog, even he looks down upon himself!

Stimulated by Jinzhong and listening to Hailan's words, Ling Yunche felt more and more that he had ended up in this miserable situation because of Concubine Ling!

It was all because of Concubine Ling who betrayed him. No, Concubine Ling should not exist in this world!

Ling Yunche hated Concubine Ling and Jinzhong so much in his heart that he swore to make them pay the price!

Ling Yunche twisted his face and said angrily: "I want to! I want to dream about it! Concubine Ling is just a lowly Han Chinese, how can she call the shots in the palace?"

"If she hadn't harmed me, how could I have become like this? Xiao Lingzi? I hate this humiliating name. I hate people calling me Xiao Lingzi!"

"Only the Empress still calls me Ling Yunche. Only she respects me. I will not let that bitch Concubine Ling succeed, even if it means sacrificing my life! I am willing to die for the Empress!"

Hai Lan was deeply moved when she saw Ling Yunche was willing to die for Ruyi. "Don't worry, I will not let your death be in vain!"

"But Imperial Concubine Ling has been in power for many years, and she has princes and princesses by her side, so it's not easy to overthrow her. Ling Yunche, you and Imperial Concubine Ling once had feelings for each other, do you have anything to prove it?"

That seemed like a very long time ago. Ling Yunche thought about it for a long time and finally said.

"She and I are from the same hometown and grew up together. We have feelings for each other, but her mother thinks I have no future and strongly opposes us being together."

"After entering the palace, she went to the Sizhiku, and I was assigned to the cold palace. At that time, I bought a ruby ​​ring outside the palace. Although it was not a good thing, I engraved my name and hers on the ring to represent the love between us."

"Later, she came to ask me to save her, but I didn't agree because I was afraid of bringing trouble to the Queen, so she asked for the ring back. Although she asked for the ring back, she was sentimental, so the ring must be hidden in the Yongshou Palace."

Suddenly Ling Yunche became excited and said frantically: "Concubine Yu, the ruby ​​ring is easy to identify. You must find a way to find this ring. It is the key to our overthrow of Concubine Ling!"

"Then let the emperor see who betrayed him! That way, no one in the palace will be able to stand in the way of the Empress and the Twelfth Prince! You must find it and avenge me!"

Hai Lan felt more confident after learning this useful information, and she solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and protect the Queen!"

Hai Lan called the people from the Ministry of Punishment in, turned around to avoid Ling Yunche's gaze, and gave the order with reluctance.

"Ling Yunche has offended the Empress and shown great disrespect to her. I, in compliance with the Empress's decree, sentence Ling Yunche to a higher rank!"

"I obey your order! Come, bring the torture instruments!"
