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

Since that day, Rong Pei became the person with the lowest status in Yikun Palace, and everyone could assign her tasks.

She had also asked Ruyi for help, but Ruyi was devoted to worshipping Buddha, so she had to bear all the grievances and sufferings by herself.

Rong Pei now understood why Imperial Noble Consort Ling had to abandon Ling Yunche and cling to the towering tree of the Emperor.

Rong Pei gradually became dissatisfied with Ruyi's deliberate indifference and inaction, but she knew that if the other palace maids and eunuchs in Yikun Palace were disrespectful to Ruyi, the other concubines in the palace might show them a way out if they were happy.

But she and Ruyi had already been tied to the same boat, and the concubines in the palace hated both Ruyi and her.

If she wanted to make a comeback, she could only rely on Ruyi, so she swallowed all the grievances and continued to serve Ruyi loyally.

Soon, more than half a year passed, and before Hai Lan could figure out a way to lift the confinement in Yikun Palace, she received the tragic news that Yong Qi was seriously ill.

Yongqi had a leg disease after he became an adult, but Yongqi relied on his youth and strength to ignore the pain and never took the initiative to ask the imperial physician for treatment.

Hai Lan was completely focused on Ruyi and Yongqi. Apart from Ruyi's affairs, Hai Lan couldn't think of Yongqi at all.

Whenever the mother and son met, they often quarreled. It was not until Yongqi's legs hurt so much that he couldn't get out of bed that Hai Lan realized that Yongqi was already terminally ill.

The imperial physician diagnosed that Yongqi had tarsal maggots, but since Yongqi had always refused to allow the imperial physician to treat him, it was now too late to save him.

After the emperor and Yan Wan learned the news, they hurried to visit Yongqi.

The emperor said to the imperial physician, "How come Yongqi's illness has suddenly become so serious? What do you do for a living?!"

The imperial physician lowered his head and dared not answer. Yongqi said, "Father, please do not blame the imperial physician. It is because I am only concerned with showing off my strength and am afraid to see a doctor."

At this time, Yongqi remembered that Yanwan had advised him many times to take care of his health, and said to her with regret.

"Your Majesty has always cared about me since I was young. She has repeatedly advised me to take care of my health. Unfortunately, I always think I am strong and healthy, and I don't want to believe the doctor's insistence on being strong."

"Not only have I failed Madam Ling's kindness, but I have also made Father Huang, Mother E, and Madam Ling sad for me. I am truly an unfilial son!"

The emperor also regretted not paying attention to Yan Wan's words. "At the beginning, your Royal Concubine also told me that she was worried that you would be tired, and asked me to tell you to check your pulse more often. At that time, I also thought that you were young and it wouldn't be a problem. Alas..."

Yan Wan said sadly: "Good child, don't say these things. The best doctors in the palace are here, they will definitely cure you!"

Yong Qi shook his head. "Your Majesty, there is no need to comfort me. I know how I am doing. Father, Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."

"I know that my mother has done a lot of wrong things over the years. I hope that the emperor and your mother can forgive me for my sake!"

"After I leave, only Fu Jin Xilinjueluo and Yunjiao, as well as Mianyi, are left. I hope your Majesty can take care of them!"

Yan Wan quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them for you. Don't say such discouraging words, we all hope that you can get better!"

Yongqi knew that Yanwan was a person who kept her promises. In the past, Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui listened to Hailan's instigation and transferred Yanwan to the greenhouse to suffer.

When Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui was about to leave, she entrusted her children to Yanwan. Yanwan took good care of them over the years, and Yongqi saw it all.

Yongqi was on his deathbed, and he knew that his biological mother Hailan was just a noble lady, of low status, and not favored by the emperor. She couldn't even protect herself, let alone take care of his wife and children?

Since Yan Wan agreed, Yongqi could rest assured.

Hai Lan had already burst into tears standing aside, watching Yong Qi make arrangements for everyone except Ruyi.

Hai Lan was afraid that after Yong Qi's death, she would no longer be able to help Ruyi, so she hurriedly told the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yongqi has always been filial to his sister. Now Yongqi's body is about to collapse. Please allow my sister to see Yongqi for the last time!"

It has been a long time since anyone mentioned Ruyi in front of the emperor, and the emperor doesn't want to see Ruyi again.

But Yongqi was about to die, and Ruyi was Yongqi's mother, so it was reasonable for them to see each other for the last time, so the emperor agreed to Hai Lan's request.

The Yikun Palace had long been a target for everyone to bully. Every time the door of the Yikun Palace opened, both Ruyi and the serving palace maids and eunuchs would feel a pang in their hearts.

Yongqi's life was hanging by a thread. Jinbao had no time to understand the complicated feelings of the people in Yikun Palace, and hurriedly explained his purpose to Ruyi.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen! Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Rong is dying. The Emperor wants you to see Prince Rong for the last time! Let's go!"

Ruyi was also shocked when she heard the news, and hurriedly asked Rong Pei to serve her and leave Yikun Palace together.

Rong Pei walked out of Yikun Palace again, feeling as if she was in another world. After hearing what Jinbao said, she whispered to Ruyi.

"The Queen has been under house arrest for a year and a half. Although Prince Rong occasionally sends food in, he has never come to see the Queen."

"I didn't expect that Prince Rong would die young. The Emperor asked the Empress to see Prince Rong off for the last time. This shows that the Emperor still has feelings for the Empress. Maybe we can lift the house arrest soon!"

In recent years, Yongqi has always been closer to Yongshou Palace, but is unwilling to help Yikun Palace, which makes Ruyi very dissatisfied.

Now, having suddenly received this bad news, Ruyi felt mixed emotions, but she also hoped that it would be as Rong Pei said.

Yongqi had already arranged his funeral arrangements, and now that he had the emperor and Yan Wan's Xu Nuo, he had nothing to worry about.

"I am an unfilial son and cannot serve my father, mother and your majesty any longer..."

Yongqi died before he could finish his words.

The Emperor, Yan Wan and others were naturally sad. Hai Lan threw herself on Yong Qi and burst into tears.

"Yongqi? Yongqi! Open your eyes and look at your mother! Don't you want to see your royal mother? Why did you leave when your royal mother hasn't arrived yet?!"

"It's all mother's fault. Mother cared too little about you. Now you're gone like this. What will you let mother and the Queen Mother do in the future?! Yongqi!"

When Yongqi passed away, Hailan and everyone in Prince Rong's mansion burst into tears.

Prince Rong's wife, Xilin Jueluo, knelt down and stepped forward to comfort Hai Lan, "Mother, the prince is gone. No matter how sad you are, you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, the prince will be worried!"

Yongqi dotes on Hu Yunjiao the most and tells her everything.

When Hu Yunjiao heard that Hai Lan was still making plans for Ruyi when Yongqi was seriously ill, she wondered why she appeared in Prince Rong's mansion and the grievances Yongqi had suffered at the hands of Hai Lan and Ruyi over the years.

Faced with new and old grudges, Hu Yunjiao decided to avenge her mother and Yongqi!
