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

The dragon boat in the center of the lake was brightly lit, and even from a distance, one could clearly hear the giggling and amusing voices of several women inside.

Two young eunuchs were standing on the deck, watching a small boat approaching the dragon boat. They wanted to shout to stop it, but were afraid of disturbing the emperor's enjoyment.

I thought about waiting for the boat to get closer, then going up and giving him a severe scolding.

"This side of the lake is a forbidden area. Who asked you to come here? Why don't you get out of here right now?"

Ruyi came by boat and heard the lewd music coming from the dragon boat. She was already furious, and then there were these two little eunuchs who were walking into her trap.

Rong Pei didn't wait for the two eunuchs to show off their power anymore, and slapped them in the face, shouting, "Where did you get these daring slaves to act so presumptuous in front of the Empress? Get out of the way now!"

The two young eunuchs were startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize, "I didn't know it was the Queen who came. I offended the Queen. Please forgive me!"

Ruyi asked, "Is the emperor in there?"

The two eunuchs looked at each other and replied with their heads down, "Yes, the emperor is inside. But, but the emperor has ordered early in the morning not to let anyone disturb him. Your Majesty, please go back."

Ruyi asked again, "These days, Jinzhong has been taking you to serve the emperor on the dragon boat?"

The young eunuch replied, "No, that's not it. Eunuch Jinzhong and the eunuchs from the Yangxin Palace are guarding the shore. The emperor only allowed a few servants to serve him closely."

Ruyi didn't get the answer she expected, and immediately said angrily: "You guys still want to hide it for Jinzhong? If you don't want to say it, then get out of my way. I want to see the emperor!"

Although the young eunuch had only been in the palace for a few years, he knew that the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress was cold.

The emperor originally did not allow anyone to know about this matter. If the queen broke in, it would be their fault!

The young eunuch knelt on the ground to stop him, saying, "Your Majesty, no! The Emperor has already ordered that no one should disturb us. I dare not let you in."

"If the Queen wants to see the Emperor, I will report to the Emperor tomorrow and then ask the Queen to come!"

Ruyi was furious when she heard this. "I am the Queen. How can I see the Emperor? Do I have to listen to you dogs and slaves?"

"Don't think I don't know what you are doing. If you want to kill you, get out of here. Otherwise, Jinzhong will be your fate!"

The two young eunuchs didn't understand what this matter had to do with Eunuch Jinzhong, and why the Queen Mother always used Eunuch Jinzhong to scare them.

Seeing that the two young eunuchs did not move away, Rong Pei kicked them aside viciously to make way for Ruyi.

Later, Li Yu also arrived with his men, captured the two young eunuchs, and stood on the boat, waiting for Ruyi's orders.

Ruyi, accompanied by Rong Pei, walked straight into the room. Rong Pei pushed the door open with one hand, and the force was so great that it frightened everyone who was having fun inside.

The emperor was about to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw the furious Ruyi coming in.

As Ruyi came in, what caught her eye were several women in seductive and revealing clothes, singing or dancing. A woman with charming eyes and a sweet smile was leaning in the emperor's arms, holding a wine glass and feeding him wine.

Without exception, these women all had daffodil foil stuck on their bodies.

Shui Linglong didn't know Ruyi's identity. She was the most famous prostitute in Hangzhou, so there was some arrogance in her words and demeanor.

Shui Linglong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, which lady in the palace is this? Why did she come here? She hasn't seen Your Majesty for a long time. Are you jealous?"

It is outrageous that a prostitute who is not worthy of being in public dares to make fun of the current queen.

Rong Pei cursed, "How dare you! The Queen is here, why don't you kneel down!"

Although the emperor was angry at Ruyi Rongpei for being so presumptuous in front of him, he also knew that his behavior of summoning singing girls for entertainment was not in line with his status, so he suppressed his anger and said to Shui Linglong.

"Don't be rude to the queen. Pay your respects to her."

Shui Linglong got off the emperor and reluctantly saluted Ruyi, "I, Shui Linglong, pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Ruyi didn't even look at Shui Linglong, and asked the emperor: "The emperor summoned Shui Linglong and others every night, who seduced them?"

The emperor was very dissatisfied with Ruyi's questioning tone, "Queen, watch your words. Well, we can talk about it tomorrow. You all can go down now."

Ruyi said, "No! Your Majesty, do you know how the people of Hangzhou are discussing your southern tour? Tonight, Your Majesty must give an explanation to this concubine and all the people in the world!"

"Your Majesty should immediately deal with the culprits, Jinzhong and Concubine Ling! Rongpei, arrest them all!"

The emperor didn't care about Shui Linglong and the others, and just watched them being taken away.

When they were alone, the emperor said, "I don't care how you deal with Shui Linglong, but what does this have to do with Concubine Ling and Jinzhong?"

Ruyi said disappointedly, "At this point, His Majesty is still protecting Concubine Ling?! If this matter was not arranged by Concubine Ling and Jinzhong who is close to His Majesty, who else would have the courage to do this?"

The emperor once again intuitively felt Ruyi's hostility towards Yanwan.

The Emperor said, "Noble Consort Ling and Jinzhong were completely unaware of this matter, so how could they have arranged it? I have been summoning Concubine Rong to sleep with me every night recently, so why doesn't the Empress suspect Concubine Rong?"

Ruyi said: "Rong Fei didn't enter the palace voluntarily. She has her young lover in her heart. No matter how much the emperor doted on her over the years, she has always been lukewarm to the emperor. How could she come up with such a way to please the emperor?"

"Even if the emperor wants to protect Concubine Ling, he must find a reason that can convince everyone!"

The emperor was speechless. Why would he cover up for something that Concubine Ling and Jinzhong had never done? Now he finally understood why Ruyi couldn't manage the harem well.

The Emperor said, "I don't know why Concubine Rong changed her attitude, but this was indeed Concubine Rong's idea. If the Queen has any questions, she can ask Concubine Rong directly."

Ruyi simply didn't listen to the emperor's words, and said to herself: "I know that the emperor favors Concubine Ling, and I will produce evidence as soon as possible!"

The emperor had a bad feeling, "Evidence? What does the queen want to do?"

Ruyi said: "I have ordered people to arrest Jinzhong. I believe that Jinzhong will soon reveal the mastermind behind this!"

The emperor was furious when he heard this: "Jinzhong is a eunuch serving me. How could you arrest him behind my back? I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with Jinzhong."

"What do you want Jinzhong to confess? Do you want to torture Jinzhong and force him to confess so that he can frame Concubine Ling?!"

"Empress, is this how you manage your harem? I have finally seen it today! Release the person immediately!"
