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

Ruyi woke up from her dream, thought for a long time, and finally figured it out.

The next morning, he asked Rong Pei to take the last bit of his belongings, bribe the guards outside the door, and pass a message to Hai Lan, saying that he wanted to see her.

Hai Lan was originally arranging Yongqi's funeral, but when she heard the news about Yikun Palace, she immediately put away her sadness and rushed directly to Yikun Palace with her people.

Perhaps with the help of money this time, Hai Lan finally entered the Yikun Palace smoothly.

Hailan came in a hurry, but she did not forget to bring some food for Ruyi. However, as soon as she entered the Yikun Palace, the food was snatched away by the maids and eunuchs of the Yikun Palace.

Hai Lan was furious and wanted to severely punish these slaves, but the people in Yikun Palace knew that Hai Lan was just an unpopular noble, her only support was dead, and she only had a personal maid by her side, so they naturally did not take Hai Lan seriously.

Ruyi finally managed to get a chance to meet Hailan by bribing the guards. Although it was a pity to lose the food, she could not care about it at the moment when important matters were at stake. She could only persuade Hailan to keep quiet.

Hai Lan knew how hard it was for Ruyi since she was confined, but she had only heard about it from the palace servants. When she entered the Yikun Palace today, she realized what a miserable life Ruyi had been leading, and she couldn't help but feel even sadder.

Ruyi didn't bother to be polite with Hailan and got straight to the point: "Hailan, I'm locked up in Yikun Palace now and can't do anything. But I'm unwilling to be trapped here for the rest of my life. If I want to get out and overthrow Imperial Noble Consort Ling, I can only count on you!"

When Rong Pei heard that Ruyi had regained her spirits, she knew that she finally had hope of turning things around, and cried with joy, "Your Majesty, have you finally figured it out?!"

Hailan was also very happy and quickly responded, "It's good that you have figured it out, sister. As long as sister tells me to do so, Hailan will redress your grievances even if it means sacrificing her own life!"

Ruyi said, "I was too Buddhist in the past, and not only did I end up like this, causing you to worry, but I also caused Yongqi to be killed by a traitor!"

Hai Lan immediately asked, "Could it be that Sister also suspects that Hu Yunjiao was someone that Imperial Noble Consort Ling had planted beside Yongqi?"

Ruyi had indeed heard of the name Hu Yunjiao, but Hu Yunjiao was just a concubine of Yongqi. Even if she was favored by Yongqi, how could she catch Ruyi's eye?

Ruyi said this just to stir up the hatred in Hailan's heart so that Hailan would try her best to work for her. After all, Hailan is the only one she can trust now.

Ruyi followed Hailan's words and said, "Yes, Imperial Noble Consort Ling is very cunning. She has been fooling Yongqi around for so many years. Maybe it's because of this Hu Yunjiao!"

Hai Lan said bitterly, "But Hu Yunjiao deliberately buried Yongqi alive in front of the emperor, which made the emperor believe her words even more! Now, the whole palace is full of your Royal Concubine's people, what should we do to bring her down?"

Ruyi had no idea at the moment, so she had to ask Hailan about the situation in the palace. "Hailan, I have been away from worldly affairs for a long time. What is the situation in the palace?"

Hai Lan sighed and said, "Alas, since my sister was sent back to the palace, Imperial Noble Consort Ling has been the only one in power in the harem. All the concubines in the palace, except for me and Concubine Rong, are Imperial Noble Consort Ling's people. The Queen Mother opposed making Concubine Ling the Imperial Noble Consort before, and pleaded for my sister, but the Emperor rejected it every time."

"Some time ago, the Queen Mother intended to choose a husband for Princess Duanshu's daughter, but because Dawachi was a traitor, there was no suitable candidate. The Queen Mother asked the Emperor to go to the Cining Palace to discuss the matter and asked the Emperor to issue an order, but the Emperor only made excuses."

"The Queen Mother found Imperial Noble Consort Ling again and wanted her to persuade the Emperor, but Imperial Noble Consort Ling would never do anything that would displease the Emperor, so she politely declined the Queen Mother's request. The Queen Mother has been in a bad mood these days and is angry."

When Ruyi heard this, she immediately had an idea in her mind, "Princess Duanshu has been marrying for the Qing Dynasty for more than 20 years. She finally returned to the capital to reunite with the Queen Mother. But because she is pregnant, she cannot divorce Dawaqi and has to bear the identity of a traitor's family member."

"The Queen Mother loves power and has always wanted to control the harem. But because of the dispute with Concubine Shu over Yongyue, she almost fell out with the Emperor and later lost her power in the palace. Now that her request for marriage for her granddaughter has been rejected, the Queen Mother may not be able to embarrass the Emperor, but she must have resentment towards Concubine Ling in her heart. Maybe this is our chance!"

Hai Lan was immediately delighted and said, "Sister, your analysis is correct. My sister is still in contact with Mao Qian. If Mao Qian finds the ruby ​​ring, and the Queen Mother knows about it, she will definitely take advantage of it!"

Ruyi felt that this was not enough, and said to Hailan, "Princess Hejing is the emperor's most beloved child, and she has the support of the Khorchin tribe behind her, so she dares to contradict me, the queen, again and again. Princess Hejing hates me because she thinks I have taken her mother's position as queen."

"If Princess Hejing knew that Imperial Noble Consort Ling had the same idea, she might become our helper and help us deal with Imperial Noble Consort Ling!"

Hai Lan said: "But Princess He Jing has a deep hatred towards us, how can she listen to us?"

Ruyi said, "This queen of my palace is only in name, and Princess Hejing has achieved her goal. But she can't stand a maid from Changchun Palace sitting on the position of Empress Xiaoxian, right?"

"Moreover, Princess Hejing has always admired Yongqi. If she knew that Yongqi's death was related to Imperial Noble Consort Ling, she would definitely suspect that Imperial Noble Consort Ling had the intention of usurping the throne."

Hai Lan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "What a good plan, sister! Princess Hejing has teamed up with Imperial Noble Consort Ling to deal with sister many times. She must have evidence that Imperial Noble Consort Ling is framing sister. If Princess Hejing takes action, Imperial Noble Consort Ling will definitely be unable to resist!"

"This alone is not enough to shake Imperial Concubine Ling's foundation. We still have to start with the people who serve Imperial Concubine Ling. Chunchan, Wangchan and Lancui, who is already married, are all Imperial Concubine Ling's confidants. If we can use them, Imperial Concubine Ling will be on the verge of downfall!"

Ruyi said, "I can't go out. Here are two letters. Please deliver them to the Queen Mother and Princess Hejing respectively. The Imperial Concubine Ling has many eyes and ears. Don't let her know!"

Hai Lan took the letter and said to Ruyi, "Don't worry, sister! As for Chunchan and the others, leave them to me!"

As soon as Hai Lan left Yikun Palace, Jinzhong went to Yongshou Palace.

"My Lord, your guess is correct. The Queen has already started to act!"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Knowing shame leads to courage. The Queen has suffered so much and is finally going to stand up and resist."

Jinzhong asked: "But the Queen Mother is indeed dissatisfied with you, do you want to make amends? And what about Princess Hejing..."

Yan Wan said: "It is well known that the Queen Mother loves power. Even if I speak for her, won't she be jealous of me holding such power?"

"The Queen wants to win over Princess Hejing to deal with me, but that depends on whether I agree or not!"

Chunchan just received news from home yesterday that her aunt was seriously ill and asked her to go back to see her. She had just gotten Yanwan's consent, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Chunchan was a little embarrassed, "Master, I only have my aunt as a relative, but if you are in trouble, I can't leave you..."

Yan Wan said: "Go and take care of your aunt, don't rush back. But be careful when you leave the palace. I am worried that they will be desperate and attack you. The same goes for Mao Qian and Wang Chan in the palace!"

Chunchan and the other two said, "Master, rest assured, we will never betray you!"

Yan Wan said: "I believe in you, and you have to believe in me too. Since the Queen doesn't want us to live in peace, then let's perform a play with the Queen!"
