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

Hai Lan successfully instigated Mao Qian to rebel, which made Ruyi very happy.

But Hanxiang was upset when she saw that there was no good news from the other side.

Concubine Ling has too much power in the palace. If you want to bring her down with just a ruby ​​ring, you need to plan carefully.

Ruyi was worried that if she could not ease the relationship with the emperor, he would really promote Concubine Ling to Imperial Concubine.

Ruyi was upset, and Rong Pei suggested taking a walk among the people.

Ruyi and her companions changed into folk clothes and walked on the bustling streets.

Looking back, when she accompanied the emperor on his eastern tour, Empress Xiaoxian was frightened by Jin and Meipin and fell into the water and died. After returning, she was named Imperial Noble Consort by the emperor and became the candidate for the successor to the empress.

The first southern tour was when her relationship with the emperor was at its strongest. The emperor would take her to worship the ancestors and take her horseback riding alone.

When the Queen Mother was making things difficult for me, she would speak up for me and secretly go out with me pretending to be an ordinary couple.

But since when did the rift between me and the Emperor begin?

Ruyi looked at the pastries on the roadside that she and the emperor had bought before, tasted them, and found that the taste was still the same but completely different.

Ruyi was lamenting the fleeting nature of love when she saw four men carrying a woman covered by a curtain towards them.

Rong Pei was busy protecting Ruyi. When she looked up, she saw narcissus foil stuck on the back of the woman's exposed hand.

Ruyi looked up and saw that many women on the bustling street had narcissus foil on their hands or foreheads.

Ruyi had been feeling sad since she came out, and only then did she notice that people around her were talking about the emperor, so she hurriedly asked people around her to find out.

Sanbao came back and reported, "Empress, the people are saying that the emperor has been summoning folk singers for entertainment for many days and has allowed them to paste daffodil foil."

Narcissus is the emperor's favorite flower. Ruyi is surprised and asks, "Is it true?!"

San Bao said, "It's spread among the people that the emperor came to Hangzhou just to favor the beauties of Hangzhou. I heard that the famous Hangzhou prostitute Shui Linglong has been accompanying the emperor for many days!"

Ruyi said angrily, "Is there such a thing? No wonder the emperor is always in a bad mood during the day. Who presented these women to the emperor?"

Sanbao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

After learning about this, Ruyi no longer had the heart to play.

After returning to the palace, he sent people to inquire about the emperor's daily whereabouts.

It was discovered that the emperor used the excuse of summoning Rong Fei to sleep with him every day, but in fact he was visiting singing girls on the boat every day. Except for a few eunuchs serving him, the rest of the people were waiting on the shore.

Upon hearing this, Ruyi said without waiting for more details, "Was it arranged by the eunuchs around the emperor? It must be Jinzhong! No wonder Rong Fei has been sleeping with him for many days, but there has been no progress at all. It turns out that the emperor is using her as an excuse!"

"No wonder Concubine Rong has regained the favor she had when she first entered the palace, but Concubine Ling has no reaction. It turns out that she was secretly trying to please the emperor! Concubine Ling holds the power in the palace, but in order to please the emperor, she does not care about the emperor's reputation at all, causing the emperor's reputation to be damaged. This is really a heinous crime!"

"Sanbao, send someone to keep an eye on them. If anyone sends the singing girl here again without knowing the consequences, report it to me immediately!"

Ruyi was both angry and heartbroken. She had hoped that the rift between her and the emperor would be resolved, but the emperor was lingering over prostitutes.

It seems that it was not because of my stubborn temper and I did not know how to get along with the emperor, but because the emperor liked those who were charming and pleasing!

Since she did nothing wrong, why should she give in to the emperor? Didn't the emperor say that she couldn't manage the harem well and made it a mess? Then she would let the emperor see today what a queen should do!

After Ruyi calmed down, she felt that this was a great opportunity to overthrow Concubine Ling.

Ruyi sent someone to pass the message to the imperial concubine, and at the same time asked Sanbao to pass the message to Li Yu.

When Li Yu saw that it was someone from Yikun Palace, he felt that something was going to happen.

Sanbao avoided the crowd and whispered something to Li Yu.

Li Yu was shocked and said, "The Queen asked me to arrest Jinzhong? Jinzhong is from the Yangxin Palace. What right does the Queen have to do this? And why did she ask me to do this?!"

"If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely blame me. No, no!"

Sanbao said, "The Empress has already found out that Concubine Ling and Jinzhong secretly presented folk singers to the Emperor, which caused rumors and damaged the Emperor's reputation! Shouldn't they be punished?"

Li Yu recalled that the emperor had indeed spent the night on the boat every day in recent days, and he did not allow them to get close to serve him. So, these women sent here were actually from prostitutes? !

Li Yu hesitated. "That being said, Jinzhong is a man close to the emperor after all. His position around the emperor is no less than mine. How can we arrest him without the emperor's order?"

San Bao said, "This is the decree of the Empress! Rumors are flying everywhere, saying that the Emperor is a womanizer. If the Empress does not punish Jinzhong, the culprit, in time, will the matter become out of control?!"

Li Yu was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, but he still didn't dare to act rashly. "Although I am Jinzhong's master, he is more trusted by the emperor than I am. What if..."

The emperor had long noticed that Li Yu had done things for Ruyi and passed messages to her many times. When he and Ruyi were in harmony in the past, he might not have cared.

But Ruyi repeatedly angered him, and he took his anger out on Li Yu. In recent years, Li Yu's position in the Yangxin Palace has been awkward, and he is far less respected than Jinzhong and Jinbao in front of the emperor.

San Bao said to Li Yu, "Eunuch Li, you are the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, the chief eunuch of the entire palace. Are you willing to be suppressed by your own apprentice?"

"Jinzhong and Concubine Ling are colluding with each other, only caring about pleasing the emperor without any regard for his reputation. If he is discovered, he will be charged with a serious crime, and the emperor will not protect him!"

"As long as Jinzhong is convicted, the emperor will see your good side again and trust you again. You will still be the most powerful eunuch in the palace, and the most proud eunuch around the emperor!"

"Butler Li Yu, think about this carefully!"

In the past few years, Li Yu has been living a very depressed life, although Jinzhong still treats him as master and disciple and still respects him in front of others and behind their backs.

But Li Yu could still feel that everyone in the Yangxin Palace followed Jinzhong's lead. Even the concubines who came to pay respects to the emperor would ask Jinzhong for information.

After all, Li Yu had been the chief eunuch for decades. How could he tolerate the feeling of being ignored?

After much thought, Li Yusi couldn't resist the temptation of power and agreed to Sanbao's proposal.

San Bao smiled and said, "The Queen has ordered that if the Emperor continues to summon the singing girl tonight, you should arrest Jinzhong immediately and wait for the Queen to come!"

Li Yu nodded, indicating his agreement.
