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

When Ruyi saw that it was Princess Hejing who was angry, she knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly worked with Rong Pei to hold Hai Lan down and explained hastily.

"Princess, you misunderstood. Noble Lady Yu looks like she's having a hysterical attack. Perhaps, no, it must be the work of Imperial Noble Consort Ling! Princess, please don't be fooled by Imperial Noble Consort Ling!"

Princess Hejing said angrily, "What Empress Ling said is right. The Empress always puts all the blame on others. It was the Empress herself who set up the trap to capture Empress Ling tonight. How can it be said that Empress Ling did it?"

"I don't think Empress Yu is having a fit of hysteria, but is being punished for her guilty conscience!"

Ruyi said, "Princess, calm down! Didn't you hear it in there just now? The Imperial Noble Consort sent Chunchan and Maoqian to surrender in order to gain my trust so that she could strike back!"

"Concubine Yu is in such a state, Chunchan Maoqian must have poisoned Concubine Yu when she was not prepared! Princess, you can't believe what Concubine Yu said, someone, quickly send the imperial physician to check Concubine Yu!"

Rong Pei wanted to run out to find the imperial physician, but was stopped by Princess Hejing. "It's already this late, and the Empress still refuses to admit it?"

Ruyi was not wrong this time. The reason why Hailan suddenly became like this was indeed because Chunchan Maoqian had poisoned her. However, for that to work, it would also require Hailan herself to have something to hide.

Ruyi glared at Yanwan fiercely. Yanwan raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Ruyi in a direction where Princess Hejing and others could not see.

Ruyi wanted to explain something more, but she found that Hailan was already unconscious. Seeing Princess Hejing's angry look, she mistook her for Empress Xiaoxian who had passed away many years ago.

Hai Lan thought that Empress Xiaoxian was coming to claim her life, and she was afraid but stubbornly said, "Empress Xiaoxian? I'm not afraid of you! I have no grudge against the Second Prince, but who made him your son?"

"You relied on the support of the Fucha family to snatch away my sister's position as the legitimate wife, and indulged the Imperial Noble Consort Huixian and the Jin family, harming the mother and son of Concubine Mei, but let my sister take the blame and was banished to the cold palace by the emperor!"

"You've wronged my sister and me, so I'll kill your son with a handful of reed fluff, and we'll be even now!"

Ruyi was horrified when she heard Hailan tell her the whole story. She quickly blocked Hailan's mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The death of the Second Prince has nothing to do with me or you! Shut up!"

Hai Lan could no longer recognize Ruyi, nor could she distinguish Ruyi's voice. She could only feel that there was something beside her, pressing her hard and covering her mouth.

Hai Lan thought it was the ghosts of Empress Xiaoxian and the Second Prince haunting her, and she pushed hard in fear.

Ruyi has always been pampered, how can she control a frightened person? Rong Pei has been beaten and scolded a lot in recent years, and her health has been damaged a lot, and she can't stop Hailan.

Hai Lan was terrified and pushed Ruyi Rongpei with all her strength, causing Ruyi Rongpei to stagger.

Many tablets and prayer flags fell on Ruyi and Rongpei, and the candlesticks fell and almost burned Ruyi and Rongpei's clothes.

"Come here, why don't you quickly arrest this criminal, Concubine Yu?!"

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager could no longer sit still after hearing this, and came out to order the palace servants to arrest Hai Lan.

Yan Wan pretended to be surprised and hastened to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The emperor helped Yan Wan up, "Yan Wan, get up quickly."

Yan Wan explained to the emperor aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the emperor and the queen mother were here, and I spoke a little presumptuously just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

"But Your Majesty, I am truly innocent! I have not harmed Yongqi, nor have I coveted the position of Crown Prince, nor have I intended to steal the imperial edict."

"Tonight, I really just wanted to go to the Yangxin Palace to bring snacks to the emperor, but before I got there, I was captured by a group of eunuchs and taken to the Yikun Palace! Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

Hearing Yan Wan say this, Ruyi was furious. She struggled to get up and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to the Imperial Concubine's excuses. Going to the Yangxin Palace to deliver snacks was just a cover for the Imperial Concubine!"

At this time, Wang Chan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my servant and I were really captured by them on the way. If you don't believe me, ask them!"

Seeing that Imperial Noble Consort Ling was gradually turning the tide, the eunuchs knelt down and explained the truth, fearing that Ruyi would implicate them.

"To reply to the emperor, Imperial Noble Consort Ling is right. We intercepted Imperial Noble Consort Ling on the way! Because, because the Empress said that as soon as Imperial Noble Consort Ling leaves Yongshou Palace, she will be captured immediately!"

Ruyi thought that these eunuchs were also arranged by Yanwan, or that they saw the situation was not good and deliberately gave false testimony for Yanwan in front of the emperor in order to seek a lighter sentence.

Ruyi was so angry that she cursed: "Even you fools want to betray me? Imperial Concubine Ling is really good at tricks!"

The emperor said angrily, "You said that Imperial Noble Consort Ling was up to something bad, and you instigated the Queen Mother and the Princess to intercede for you, and asked me to set up a trap to test Imperial Noble Consort Ling."

"Your Majesty, the real gold is not afraid of fire, but it has tested your wolfish ambitions, and the evil woman Yu Guiren has been plotting to harm Yonglian. What a irony! Queen, what else do you have to say?"

Ruyi was unwilling to accept defeat, so she knelt before the emperor and begged him to give her another chance.

"Your Majesty, your Royal Concubine did it on purpose. She deliberately plotted against me so that she could clear herself of her crime in front of your Majesty. Your Majesty, please give me another chance, and I will definitely find evidence!"

Yan Wan said, "What the Queen said is irrational. The Queen set up a trap tonight to test me. If the Queen hadn't mentioned it, how would I have known that the Queen asked the Emperor to listen to our confrontation in secret?"

What Yanwan said was very true. The emperor was extremely disappointed with Ruyi and no longer wanted to listen to her excuses.

Princess Hejing learned the truth about Yonglian's death and cried and begged the emperor, "Father, the Empress and Empress Yu are so cruel! If Empress Ling hadn't accidentally found out the truth tonight, I'm afraid I would never know the cause of Yonglian's death!"

"My Royal Highness, my Royal Highness, please make the decision for Yonglian and my mother!"

Ruyi looked at Hailan's crazy appearance and secretly hated her for being more trouble than help. Not only did she fail to overthrow Imperial Noble Consort Ling, but she was framed by Imperial Noble Consort Ling instead.

Ruyi was afraid that Hailan would implicate herself, so she hurriedly explained to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I swear on the Ulanara family that I will never do such a wicked thing as murdering the heir to the throne!"

"Hai, no, Concubine Yu used reed fluff to cause the Second Prince to have an attack of illness in order to vent her own anger. This has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Princess Hejing cursed, "Just now, Concubine Yu said that she and Yonglian had no grudges against each other. She wanted to kill Yonglian because she felt sorry for the Empress Dowager!"

"Noble Lady Yu was loyal to the Empress Dowager. It is really chilling that the Empress Dowager has cut off all ties with Noble Lady Yu. No wonder the Empress Dowager is no match for Empress Ling!"
