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

As soon as Ruyi stepped in, Prince Rong's wife Xilin Gioro cried and announced the death to Ruyi, "Empress Dowager, Prince, Prince is gone!"

Ruyi was mentally prepared when she came, and she was not particularly surprised or sad when she heard Xilin Gioro report the news of Yongqi's death.

Since Xilin Gioro married Yongqi, she has not been favored by Yongqi, so Yongqi naturally would not say much to her.

Xilin Gioro was skeptical about what Hu Yunjiao said in front of the emperor just now, but Ruyi's performance made Xilin Gioro believe Hu Yunjiao's words a little.

When Hailan saw Ruyi coming, she hurried forward and cried, "Sister is here? Yongqi, Yongqi couldn't wait for you and left. Sister, go see Yongqi!"

Hai Lan hadn't seen Ruyi for a year and a half. She was shocked when she saw her today. Not only were Ruyi and Rong Pei's clothes and jewelry simple and shabby, but they were also obviously much thinner and more haggard.

What's worse, there are many scars on Rong Pei's face, which shows how difficult life is in Yikun Palace.

Hai Lan felt sorry for what Ruyi had suffered these days and cried even more sadly.

Ruyi put Rong Pei aside and walked slowly and silently to Yongqi's side.

After listening to Hu Yunjiao's words, the emperor felt that it was Ruyi who forced Yongqi to do things, which aggravated Yongqi's illness and led to Yongqi's untimely death. He became even more disgusted with Ruyi.

The emperor coldly questioned: "I want to ask you, was it your intention to sentence Ling Yunche to death that day? Did you force Yongqi to disobey my order and find a Feng Shui treasure land for Ling Yunche to be buried?"

Ruyi pretended not to hear and went to see Yongqi on her own.

Since Ruyi didn't say anything, the emperor took it as her consent.

The emperor angrily said to Ruyi: "You killed Yongqi, how dare you come to see him? Get out of here and don't disturb Yongqi's peace again!"

Hai Lan hurriedly spoke for Ruyi, "Your Majesty, my sister has always loved Yongqi and would never force him to do anything. Yongqi's body is still warm, can Your Majesty bear to let Yongqi watch the Royal Father and the Royal Mother quarrel over him?"

The emperor had long seen through Hai Lan and no longer felt angry or disappointed because Hai Lan was devoted to Ruyi.

The emperor ordered: "Jinbao, send the queen back to Yikun Palace. I don't want to see her again!"

Jinbao stepped forward and said to Ruyi, "Empress, may I take you back to the palace?"

Since she came in, Ruyi hasn't said a word and hasn't paid any attention to anyone, as if she is immersed in her own thoughts.

Ruyi ignored Jinbao and leaned over to look at Yongqi's body with her eyes fixed on it, as if she didn't believe that Yongqi was dead and was still trying hard to find evidence that Yongqi was still alive.

But in the eyes of others, it seemed that Ruyi had never recognized Yongqi. She just went to the wrong place and wanted to wake Yongqi up to ask for directions.

The emperor felt that Ruyi was getting more and more crazy. Just as he was about to order Jinbao to take Ruyi out, Ruyi seemed to have seen enough and walked out alone without paying any attention to anyone.

When Hai Lan saw Ruyi like this, she felt that Ruyi was unable to accept the blow of Yongqi's death and was too sad and in a trance.

After being under house arrest for so long, Ruyi finally had the chance to meet the emperor again. Everyone thought that she had a chance to turn things around.

But unexpectedly, Ruyi was locked up again by the emperor just for going out for a walk.

The palace maids and eunuchs in Yikun Palace had no hope of getting out, so they couldn't help but mock Ruyi and Rong Pei.

"You finally have the chance to see the emperor, but you don't know how to be submissive to him? Haven't you had enough of the days of house arrest?"

"She's so useless. She couldn't even grasp such a good opportunity. We are so unlucky to be following her! Why are we so miserable?"

"That's right, the palace servants all said that the emperor intended to make Prince Rong the crown prince. In the past, the guards guarding the palace gates and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent us some good things from time to time for Prince Rong's sake. Now that Prince Rong has passed away, I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat a hot meal!"

"The Empress and Rong Pei have offended all the concubines in the palace. They deserve the suffering they have endured, but they have implicated us. It is really a sin!"

……

Rong Pei felt discouraged when she heard the ugly words outside the window.

I originally thought that this time when I went out, even if the emperor could not lift the house arrest in Yikun Palace, at least the palace people would know that the emperor still cared about the empress, and the palace people would be in awe of the empress.

But unexpectedly, the Emperor not only had no feelings for the Empress, but also let the Emperor know that the Empress handled Ling Yunche's funeral affairs.

Rong Pei looked at Ruyi who looked dazed and felt really worried about her future.

After many years, Ruyi dreamed of her aunt again. She saw her aunt wearing the queen's crown and sitting on the phoenix throne in Jingren Palace, scolding her with anger.

"Ruyi, do you admit your guilt?!"

Ruyi knelt on the ground, shook her head and said, "Aunt, I am not wrong. The love between the emperor and I has long disappeared. It is the emperor who has let me down!"

Ulanara Yixiu said angrily: "Ruyi, you are too naive! You are not yourself, you are the hope of my entire Ulanara clan! I watched with my own eyes as you ascended to the throne and revived the glory of the Ulanara clan."

"But you never thought about the Ulanara clan, never sought a future for your own people, and didn't know how to maintain the emperor's feelings for you. As a result, you were forced to lose the power and dignity of the queen by a Han woman who was born into a bannerman family!"

Ruyi defended herself, "I have been like this since the Emperor and I met. At that time, the Emperor was able to tolerate me, so why can't he tolerate me for the rest of his life? Ling Yunche and I are just close friends, so why did the Emperor believe the rumors and humiliate Ling Yunche and me like that? Don't I have my own dignity and pride?!"

Ulanara Yixiu said: "Your status has changed, so the way you get along with each other must also change. He is the emperor and the master of the world. You have to obey and serve him, and there is no reason for him to please you! Ruyi, Ulanara already has an abandoned woman, are you going to follow your aunt's path?!"

Ruyi said, "I don't want to, but the emperor trusts your Imperial Noble Consort, and the palace maids are all your Imperial Noble Consort's people, so what can I do?"

Ulanara Yixiu advised earnestly: "Ruyi, whether for you or for the Ulanara family, you must keep your position as queen! Haven't you had enough of the bullying from those dogs and slaves these days? Are you really going to watch the crown prince position belonging to Yongji being taken away by the son of Imperial Noble Consort Ling, whom you hate and despise the most?!"

Of course Ruyi couldn't stand it, "I don't want to, but what can I do?"

Ulanala Yixiu said: "You have too hard a temper. If you want to change your situation, you must endure the humiliation and admit your mistakes to the emperor! Only in this way can the emperor have mercy on you, and you will have a chance to overthrow the imperial concubine and take back everything you have lost!"

"Ruyi, you must listen to your aunt, otherwise, it will be too late!"
