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

Rong Pei went to invite Yan Wan in person. When Yan Wan saw Rong Pei's ferocious look, she guessed that Ruyi had already learned the news and was about to take action against herself and Jinzhong.

Yan Wan took advantage of the situation and asked an inconspicuous maid in the palace to tell Princess He Jing the news. Then she took Chun Chan and Wang Chan to see Ru Yi.

"Your Majesty, Queen! What is the matter that the Queen is so anxious to see me about?"

From Prince Bao's mansion to the imperial palace, Ruyi has been with the emperor for decades.

Even though there were many concubines around the emperor, Ruyi never took them seriously.

Whether it is Empress Xiaoxian who came from a prominent family, Imperial Noble Consort Huixian who was deeply favored by the Emperor, or the Jin family who had the support of the Yu family, or Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui who gave birth to many princes and princesses for the Emperor.

They were all defeated by Ruyi and watched her ascend to the throne of queen with reluctance.

But there is only Concubine Ling, whom Ruyi has always looked down upon.

From a lowly, bullied palace maid, she climbed up step by step to the throne of imperial concubine and even snatched away the power that belonged to her as the queen!

Over the years, no matter what Ruyi tried, she not only failed to suppress Concubine Ling, but instead made Concubine Ling's status rise higher and higher.

Ruyi felt extremely aggrieved, so she exempted the concubines from the rule of morning and evening visits, in an attempt to escape this fact.

But now, Concubine Ling brought her own death upon herself, and she had finally waited for a perfect opportunity to overthrow Concubine Ling in one fell swoop!

Ruyi looked at Concubine Ling who was paying her respects, and she couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about Concubine Ling's fate.

Yanwan still maintained the posture of greeting, lowered her head and secretly listened to Ruyi's passionate psychological activities, and couldn't help but complain.

"Humph, I want to see who will fall tonight! You are such an idiot. If it weren't for the plot, how could an idiot like you stay in the throne for so many years?"

Yan Wan was a little tired, so she reminded Ruyi, "The Queen?"

Ruyi immediately ordered, "Come here, capture Concubine Ling for me!"

Yan Wan immediately got into the mood, "Wait! What crime did I commit? Why did the Queen arrest me?!"

Ruyi sat in her seat, looked at Yanwan coldly, and questioned: "You and Jinzhong led the emperor to linger with prostitutes, making the emperor a laughing stock among the people and tarnishing the reputation of the emperor and the royal family. This is a matter of state!"

"You asked Mao Qian to come to the palace and falsely accuse me and Ling Yunche, causing Ling Yunche to become a eunuch. You asked Aunt Li and others to abuse and torture Ling Yunche, bribed Ling Zhi to again falsely accuse me and Ling Yunche of having an affair, and asked the emperor to kill Ling Yunche. This is a family matter!"

"You have done so many evil things, and today I will punish you! Come, arrest them all!"

Ruyi had already arranged people in her own bedroom. At her command, people rushed out and captured Yanwan and the other two.

Yan Wan argued, "What about a prostitute? What about the people's gossip? Even if the Queen wants to accuse me of a crime, please pick one that will convince the public!"

Seeing that Yan Wan refused to admit it, Ruyi said, "You still don't admit it? Today, I went to the people to have fun and saw many women with narcissus foil on their hands. The people were talking about the emperor's romantic anecdotes."

"You have always been close to Jinzhong. If it weren't for you guys' arrangement, who would have the guts to do such a calamity?!"

Hearing this reason, Yan Wan was speechless and defended herself, "According to what the Queen said, the Emperor summoned prostitutes every day, and the people all knew about it."

"But if I remember correctly, the Emperor has been summoning Concubine Rong to sleep with him recently. Why doesn't the Empress suspect that it was Concubine Rong who did it?"

Ruyi didn't believe that Han Xiangjian would do such a thing at all and thought that Yanwan was making excuses again.

"Concubine Rong never tries to please the Emperor, so how could this be her idea? Concubine Rong has lived in the deep palace for a long time, where can she find people to do things for her?"

Yan Wan said, "Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor summoned Rong Fei every night. If the emperor used Rong Fei as a cover, wouldn't Rong Fei find out? She has always been on good terms with you, why didn't she report it to the Empress earlier?!"

Ruyi had no way to explain this question, so she evaded the question and said, "I will naturally ask Concubine Rong about this, but it was you who was instigating this matter!"

Yan Wan said angrily: "Then the Queen should show me the evidence that I was the mastermind. You can't just punish me based on a trumped-up charge, right?"

"Besides, the Empress just said that I killed Ling Yunche, is it a family matter? When did I kill Ling Yunche? Didn't Concubine Yu go to the Ministry of Punishment and convey the Empress's decree to promote Ling Yunche?"

"Could it be that Concubine Yu falsely conveyed the Empress's order? The Empress doesn't want to kill Ling Yunche at all?"

Ruyi was caught by Yanwan's loophole in her words and was about to refute her, but Yanwan took the lead.

"What is a family affair? Ling Yunche is not a member of the royal family, nor is he from the Ulanara clan, the empress's mother's family. He is just a eunuch named Lingzi who was daring and hated by the emperor. How can his death be considered the empress's family affair?"

"Could it be that the rumors outside are true? There really is a love affair between the Queen and Xiao Lingzi?!"

Ruyi didn't know how to refute it. She was so angry that she shouted, "Come here, take Concubine Ling to the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"

Chunchan was afraid that Princess Hejing would not be able to come to rescue them and that Ruyi would torture Yanwan, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Our master is indeed innocent. She did not mean to offend you. Please forgive our master!"

Yan Wan said firmly: "We are not wrong, Chunchan, there is no need to beg her!"

Ruyi sneered, "You still don't admit it? Well, wait until Li Yu arrests Jinzhong, and then see if you admit it or not!"

Yan Wan said angrily, "Jinzhong is a servant of the Emperor. What right does the Empress have to arrest him? Could it be that the Empress wants to torture him into confessing?"

"The Queen is trying to frame me with groundless rumors, right? Otherwise, why can't the Queen produce any evidence and is unwilling to question Concubine Rong?"

"The Queen is clearly jealous of the Emperor's favor towards me, so she deliberately framed me! I refuse to accept this, and I want to see the Emperor!"

Ruyi said angrily, "As the Queen, don't I have the power to punish you? Come, beat Concubine Ling to death immediately!"

Yan Wan said angrily: "Even if you are the queen, you cannot punish the palace maids and concubines at will, let alone beat them to death! I am the biological mother of the prince and princess, and I am the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor. Even if I am guilty, it should be decided by the emperor!"

When Ruyi heard Yanwan using her status as a noble concubine to pressure her, she immediately became angry and shouted, "I was personally appointed as the queen by the emperor!"

They were always talking at cross purposes and never got to the point. Yan Wan was simply speechless.

Sanbao saw that Ruyi was so impressive and wanted to show off in front of her, so he raised his leg and kicked Yanwan, forcing her to kneel in front of Ruyi.
