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

Yan Wan had already received the news that Chun Chan had been captured, and was preparing to find a way to rescue Chun Chan.

But the people who were watching Yikun Palace came back and said that Chunchan had returned safely.

Chunchan returned to Yongshou Palace and didn't know how to explain to Yanwan. As soon as she stepped into the palace, she felt that the atmosphere in Yongshou Palace was weird.

Yan Wan asked, "Are you back? How is your aunt?"

Chunchan replied, "Thank you for your concern, my aunt. When I got home and saw my aunt, she was already seriously ill and unconscious. I asked a doctor and found out that my aunt had eaten too many wild mushrooms and was poisoned!"

Yan Wan was surprised and asked, "Can eating mushrooms cause poisoning?"

Chunchan said angrily, "My aunt bought ordinary fusilli, but the fusilli vendor went to the nearby mountains to pick wild mushrooms that looked similar in order to make more money."

"The doctor told me that it's okay to eat a little of this kind of wild mushroom, but if you eat too much, it will produce hallucinations! My aunt ate too many poisonous wild mushrooms, saw hallucinations, fell into the lake and drowned!"

When Yanwan heard Chunchan talking about this poisonous wild mushroom, she instantly had an idea in her mind.

But when she thought of Chunchan being taken to Yikun Palace by Hailan before, Yanwan's expression became gloomy again.

"Just now, Xiu'er saw you following Concubine Yu into the Yikun Palace. Is that true?"

Chunchan raised her eyes and looked at Xiu'er mentioned by Yanwan. Xiu'er was only fourteen or fifteen years old and had just started working in Yongshou Palace half a year ago.

In Yongshou Palace, she was just a maid responsible for sweeping the courtyard and was not qualified to serve in the inner hall.

As the head maid of Yongshou Palace, Chunchan also has to help Yanwan deal with many trivial matters in the harem. Xiu'er is usually honest and silent, so Chunchan never pays much attention to her.

I didn't expect that Xiu'er, who seemed to be quiet, had been bribed by Concubine Yu without anyone knowing when.

Chunchan admitted: "I did go to Yikun Palace, but I did not go there voluntarily. I was kidnapped by Concubine Yu on my way back to the palace!"

Yan Wan asked suspiciously, "Kidnapped? Concubine Yu has been trying to deal with me all along, so I can understand why she kidnapped you. But since she had already kidnapped you, why did she let you go? What did you say to her?"

Chunchan knelt down and explained: "The Queen and Concubine Yu wanted to get evidence against me, but I refused to comply, so they had no choice but to let me go!"

At this time, Mao Qian spoke at the right time: "My dear, the Queen and Concubine Yu want to kill me. Everyone in the palace knows that Chunchan is the head maid of Yongshou Palace and the most trusted and capable confidant of my dear."

"They finally caught Chunchan outside the palace. How could they let her go so quickly without asking her what they wanted?"

Yan Wan thought what Mao Qian said made sense, and asked Chun Chan, "Chun Chan, did the Empress and Concubine Yu punish you privately?"

Chunchan shook her head and said, "No, they originally wanted to torture me, but I used my master's identity as the ruler of the six palaces to scare them."

"After all, they are still under house arrest and dare not offend the master too much, so they let the slaves go."

Mao Qian added, "Master, you can't believe Chunchan's one-sided words. How domineering is the Queen? On that day in the palace, without the slightest evidence, she dared to beat to death the Concubine who gave birth to the prince and princess."

"It's hard to change one's nature. Even though the Queen is under house arrest, she has the guts to send people to capture Chunchan. How could she be scared off by a few words from Chunchan?!"

Mao Qian's words reminded Yan Wan, "Yes, the Queen is still under house arrest, and Lipin and the others just went to make trouble a while ago. How come Concubine Yu suddenly came in and out of Yikun Palace as if she was in an empty place? Can the Queen also send people to arrest my people?"

"Could it be that the Queen has found some help? Or, has the Emperor and the Queen Mother discovered something, so they are so lenient to the Queen? What on earth went wrong?"

Mao Qian said: "My Lord, in my opinion, the problem lies with Chunchan!"

Chunchan immediately pointed at Maoqian and cursed, "What nonsense! I have been taking care of my aunt outside the palace for more than half a month. How can the palace's affairs be related to me?"

"It's obvious that you have been bribed by the Queen, so you deliberately helped the Queen to deal with me and sow discord in front of the master! Master, I am innocent!"

Mao Qian sneered and said, "You lied without even finding a good excuse! Master, everyone knows that the person I hate the most in the palace is the Empress. How could I help the Empress to deal with you?"

"Master, Chunchan has stayed outside the palace for so long, maybe Concubine Yu has already spotted her. In order to save her life, Chunchan has already betrayed you!"

"If Xiu'er hadn't happened to see Concubine Yu taking Chunchan to surrender to the Queen today, I'm afraid the master would have fallen into a trap. I don't know who harmed the master!"

Chunchan scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I think you are jealous of my position as the head maid of Yongshou Palace, so you let Xiu'er keep an eye on my whereabouts!"

"My dear, I have served you for so many years and I am loyal to you. You must not listen to Mao Qian's provocative words and do what the Queen wants!"

Mao Qian also said: "My dear, you have gone through countless hardships to sit on the position of Imperial Noble Consort in charge of the Six Palaces. Now the Empress is trapped in the Yikun Palace, and she is deposed without being deposed."

"If you take one more step up, you can completely pull down the Empress and sit on the throne of the Central Palace yourself! The Empress will not be willing to be pulled down by you, so she is trying her best to bribe Chunchan."

"Chunchan's behavior is suspicious. My master, you must not put yourself in danger because of your momentary leniency and fall into the Queen's trap!"

"Master, since you already know that Concubine Yu had kidnapped Chunchan, why not kill Chunchan and put the blame on the Queen and Concubine Yu? If Chunchan is really as loyal as she says, she must be willing to die for you, right?!"

After hearing this, Chunchan rushed over and started fighting with Maoqian, cursing: "Maoqian, you vicious woman, you are so cruel!"

Looking at this chaotic scene, Yan Wan was also hesitant. She asked someone to pull Chunchan and Maoqian apart and asked Xiu'er.

"Xiu'er, what else did you see? Tell me the truth!"

Xiu'er looked at Maoqian, then at Chunchan, hesitated for a moment, and made up her mind to say to Yanwan.

"In reply to my master, before Aunt Chunchan left the palace, I saw people from the Yanxi Palace looking for Aunt Chunchan more than once."

"Today, outside the palace gate, I watched from afar and saw Concubine Yu and Aunt Chunchan talking and laughing. I also vaguely heard something about Ling Yunche and a ruby ​​ring!"

When Yanwan heard the word ruby ​​ring, her face changed immediately and she spoke sternly to Chunchan.

"Mao Qian is right. You are the one who betrayed me! You are such a traitorous slave. I am so kind to you!"

Chunchan immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "My Lord, please be clear, all of this is not true. I swear to heaven that I have never betrayed you!"

Yan Wan took out a small exquisite bottle from her sleeve and said to everyone, "This contains poisonous lip balm. If you are truly innocent, I will give you the antidote after I find out the truth."

"But if you dare to betray me, I will make you wish you were dead! And you must see clearly to me, this is the fate of betraying me!"

The palace maids and eunuchs of Yongshou Palace all lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Yan Wan added: "Mao Qian and Wang Chan are here to apply medicine to Chun Chan, everyone else please leave!"

Chunchan begged for mercy: "I really did not betray my master. Please give me another chance to prove myself..."

After everyone left, Yanwan and the other three looked at each other and smiled.
