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

After a night of noise, everyone returned to their bedrooms to rest.

The empress dowager, who only received the news the next day, hurried to find the emperor.

"Does His Majesty really want to make Concubine Ling the Imperial Concubine in charge of the Six Palaces? Does His Majesty really want to depose the Empress?"

The emperor was furious: "Not only did the queen set up a private court, she also cursed me and my mother by cutting off our hair. Do you want me to pretend nothing happened?!"

The Queen Mother said, "I have heard about it all. The Queen was only concerned about the reputation of the Emperor and acted on impulse. The Queen only sent Shui Linglong and the other singing girls to the nunnery. This is already a favor."

"If I were to say so, it wouldn't be too much to just kill them! This matter was originally caused by the Emperor's mischief, so the Empress can be forgiven."

The Emperor said, "If it was just the Queen and I arguing, it wouldn't have been like this. But the Queen is indiscriminate and is accusing Concubine Ling of all the crimes."

"I have already told her that this was done by Concubine Rong, but she refused to listen to a word I said. She even thought that I was deliberately protecting Concubine Ling. She even dared to curse me by cutting off her hair. How could I tolerate this?!"

"I have had enough of the Queen's incompetent behavior over the years. Madam, you don't have to speak for her anymore!"

The Empress Dowager knew what crime Ruyi had committed. The Emperor no longer had any trace of nostalgia in his words and expression, so the Empress Dowager could not plead for Ruyi any more.

The Queen Mother said, "This matter has become a big deal. We must give an explanation to the people of the world. What is the Emperor going to do?"

The emperor said: "This incident was caused by Concubine Rong and several eunuchs. I have already issued an order to execute those eunuchs and demote Concubine Rong to a concubine."

"After what happened, I have no intention of traveling south again. I will return to Beijing in a few days."

……

The concubines who accompanied the southern tour also knew what happened last night, and Yihuan could not hide her anger.

"Yesterday the Queen tried to force you to confess? Since you had already realized that the Queen had ill intentions, why didn't you send someone to tell me? The Queen actually dared to curse the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Is she crazy?!"

Yan Wan said, "Sister, don't be angry. The Queen is overbearing and unreasonable. I invited you to go with me. She is using her status as the Queen to pressure us, but it will only make one more person suffer."

"But Princess Hejing is the legitimate daughter of the Emperor and Empress Xiaoxian, the most honorable Princess of the First Rank in the Qing Dynasty, and has the support of the Khorchin tribe behind her. The Emperor also dotes on Princess Hejing the most."

"With Princess Hejing here, even the Queen has to be more restrained. But I never thought that the Queen would dare to cut her hair!"

Yi Huan wholeheartedly adores the Emperor, and cannot stand anyone trying to harm him. She angrily said, "When I first entered the palace, I heard that the Emperor and the Empress were childhood sweethearts."

"I thought that in the whole palace, besides me, the Queen was the only one who truly loved the Emperor. That's why I have always been on good terms with the Queen. I never thought that the Queen would treat the Emperor like this!"

"I feel horrified just by hearing about it. The emperor must have been very angry and heartbroken last night, right?"

Yan Wan said, "When the princess and I arrived last night, the queen had already cut her hair. But when the queen saw us, the emperor ridiculed her a few times, and the queen started cutting her hair again. Her expression seemed to show off to us, and the emperor was so angry that he said she was crazy!"

Yi Huan said angrily, "The Queen is so presumptuous! Also, I heard that it was Concubine Rong who seduced the Emperor to have fun. Why does the Queen put the blame on you?"

"Since entering the palace, Rong Fei has always had a cold and arrogant look towards the emperor. Why did she suddenly act like this? Rong Fei, no, Rong Bin, Rong Bin is indeed someone trained by the queen herself, and her behavior is just as weird as the queen's!"

Of course Yan Wan knew why Han Xiangjian did this. After the incident, the emperor only demoted Han Xiangjian to the position of concubine, which was a bit beyond Yan Wan's expectations.

For Han Xiangjian, it doesn't matter whether she is Rong Fei, Rong Pin, or Guiren Changzai. As long as she is still in the palace, she will not stop.

Yan Wan said: "This matter is not glorious after all. The emperor's anger is all on the queen, but it is reasonable to demote her to a concubine. Well, it's over, sister, calm down."

Yi Huan nodded, "I just hope that neither the Queen nor Concubine Rong will cause any more trouble and make the Emperor angry!"

……

Hai Lan had originally dreamed that she had successfully instigated Mao Qian to rebel. As long as time passed and Mao Qian found the ruby ​​ring that represented love in Yongshou Palace, she would be able to prove that Concubine Ling and Ling Yunche were having an affair.

Once the emperor believes in Ruyi's innocence, out of guilt, he will definitely double the compensation to Ruyi and Yongqi.

At that time, the emperor would choose a wife with a prominent family background for Yongji. With Yongqi's assistance and Yongji's status as the legitimate son, the emperor would definitely make Yongji the crown prince.

In that way, a hundred years after the Emperor's death, both the Queen Mother and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager will be Ruyi, and no one will dare to disrespect Ruyi anymore!

Then, before Hailan’s sweet dream could come true, bad news had already arrived.

When Hai Lan woke up and got the news, Han Xiangjian had been demoted to a concubine, and Ruyi was about to be sent to the capital by Empress Xiaoxian's family.

Hailan and Hanxiangjian hurried over to see Ruyi off, handed the hastily packed package to Rongpei, and said to Ruyi.

"Sister, there is still a long way to go. Why are you so impatient? Xiangjian, why are you doing this?"

Han Xiangjian came specially to see her off today in order to see with her own eyes how miserable Ruyi was.

I lied casually, "The emperor thought I didn't behave like a concubine, and asked me to learn how other concubines speak. I said a few words to him, and he got angry."

"Noble Concubine Ling said that the Emperor would punish the Han tribe. I was afraid that it would implicate my people, so I thought of this idea in a moment of confusion. I deserved to be demoted, but I never thought that it would implicate the Empress."

"I am guilty, please punish me, Queen!"

When Ruyi heard what Han Xiangjian said, she had no doubt at all, and was even more convinced that all this was Concubine Ling's conspiracy to bring her down.

At this time, Ruyi realized that she had fallen into Concubine Ling's trap, and she regretted being so impulsive last night.

Ruyi said: "Noble Concubine Ling is cunning and treacherous. You have always been aloof from the world, and you care about your clan members so much that you will inevitably fall into Noble Concubine Ling's trap."

Ruyi was about to be sent back to the palace, and she didn't have the time to figure out who was right or wrong, so she asked with concern.

"Sister, this happened suddenly, and we didn't have time to prepare anything for you. You can keep these things for the journey. We can't go together, but I have sent a message to the palace. I hope Wanpin can prepare them for you in time."

"Don't think too much, sister. Just think of it as returning to the palace to recuperate. When we return to the palace, we will definitely find a way to clear your name!"

Although Ruyi fell into Concubine Ling's trap again this time, she felt comforted to have these two people who never left her by her side.
