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

When Princess Hejing pointed at her and scolded her for being heartless and disloyal, Ruyi felt a flush on her face.

Yan Wan helped Princess Hejing up and comforted her, "Princess, please get up first. The Emperor will definitely make the decision for Empress Xiaoxian and the Second Prince."

Princess Hejing looked at Yan Wan and felt guilty. "I believed the words of the Empress Dowager and thought that Your Highness wanted to use me as a stepping stone to ascend to the throne of Empress."

"After listening to Madam Ling's words tonight, I finally understood what loyalty and courage mean! I wrongly blamed Madam Ling and caused her to suffer injustice. I apologize to Madam Ling!"

Yan Wan hurriedly supported Princess Hejing and said, "What are you talking about, Princess? The Emperor and Empress Xiaoxian have saved my life and raised me. No matter how much I repay them, it will never be too much!"

"I am also envious of your filial piety towards Empress Xiaoxian. Princess, you don't have to be like this."

The emperor was very satisfied with Yan Wan's performance and said to her, "Jing Se is filial, and your Jing Yu and Yong Yan are not bad either. Yan Wan, your blessing is yet to come!"

The emperor was hinting at something, and Yan Wan listened calmly and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty!"

Princess Hejing asked, "How does the Emperor intend to deal with Concubine Yu?"

The emperor was tired of watching this farce tonight, and issued an edict: "Koriyete arrested the imperial concubine Ling for her heinous crime of plotting to murder the heir to the throne. She is to be banished to the cold palace and beaten to death!"

"Ulanara is deposed from her position as empress and is temporarily imprisoned in Yikun Palace. From today onwards, Ulanara men cannot serve as officials in the court, and women cannot enter the palace. All Ulanara titles are taken away!"

"We will make the final decision after the case is fully investigated!"

Ruyi heard the emperor's order and asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty wants to depose me as queen? Why? Your Majesty and I have been married for decades. Don't you have any feelings for each other? If Your Majesty deposes me, who will be made queen? Is it your Imperial Consort?!"

The emperor replied coldly: "Old love? If you remembered your feelings for me, why would you attack my heir so many times? You knew that Mo Xin wanted to harm Yong Cong, why didn't you report it to me?"

"You knew that Keliyete had Yonglian killed, but because you hated Empress Xiaoxian, you covered up for her! In order to frame Yanwan, you pretended to be pitiful in front of me and swore an oath in front of me."

"You have ended up like this now, just to fulfill your original oath! Ulanara Ruyi, you are so vicious that you are not worthy of being the Queen of the Qing Dynasty!"

Ruyi could not accept such an outcome. She was so angry that she fainted.

The emperor ignored her and walked out of the Yikun Palace with Princess Yanwan and Princess Hejing without looking back.

The Queen Mother stared at the unconscious Ruyi angrily and said bitterly: "The promises you made in front of me turned out to be so useless! If I had known that you dared to murder the heir to the throne, I would never have agreed to cooperate with you!"

Rong Pei held the unconscious Ruyi and cried to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the Queen has fainted. Please send the imperial physician to see the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother said, "I only knew that Ulanara Yixiu was vicious, but I didn't expect that Ulanara Ruyi was even better than her! Why would we need an imperial physician for such a vicious woman?"

The Empress Dowager hated Ruyi for failing to get things done and for causing the Emperor to become suspicious of her.

I’m afraid that once this happens, she will never have the chance to get involved in the harem again in her life!

Hailan was dragged to the cold palace overnight, and it took three days for Hailan to regain consciousness.

Hailan looked at the strange and dilapidated palace and said to herself in confusion: "Where is this? Why am I here?"

It was cold and gloomy here, and Hailan felt unable to adapt. She quickly got up and ran towards the gate, but the palace gate was locked with a big lock and Hailan could not get out.

At this time, Hai Lan felt that this place looked familiar, very much like the cold palace where Ruyi had lived.

Hai Lan was startled and banged on the door, shouting, "Someone, come! Someone, come quickly! Where is this? Why are you locking me up here? Let me out!"

The guard on duty here was disturbed by Hai Lan's good sleep, and rushed over and shouted with resentment.

"What are you yelling about, Koriyet? You've had enough sleep, why are you making such a fuss here? The anniversary of Prince Duanhui's death is still a few days away, are you tired of living?!"

Hai Lan said angrily, "I am Concubine Yu, and you, a dog slave, dare to call me Madam Koliyete? What kind of place is this? Why are you locking me up here? Aren't you afraid that the Empress will punish you? Let me go now!"

The guard sneered, "Empress Dowager? Concubine Yu? There is no Empress Dowager and Concubine Yu in this palace now. There are only the sinners Ulanara and Keliyete!"

"If you don't want to suffer physical pain, just behave yourself!"

Hai Lan was shocked when she heard this. She anxiously asked through the crack of the door, "What did you say? What criminal woman Ulanara? Wasn't I interrogating Imperial Noble Consort Ling in Yikun Palace? How could she be sleeping here? What on earth is going on?!"

The guard sneered and said, "You are still interrogating Imperial Noble Consort Ling? Imperial Noble Consort Ling is now the true mistress of the harem, and you, a commoner, still want to interrogate the Imperial Noble Consort?"

"You have been crazy for three days and three nights, so I guess you don't remember anything. Well, I will kindly tell you. Three days ago, you suffered retribution in Yikun Palace. You actually confessed your crime of murdering Crown Prince Duanhui in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

"The emperor was furious and deposed Ulanara from the throne and imprisoned her in the Yikun Palace. As for you, the culprit, I will wait until the anniversary of Crown Prince Duanhui's death and beat you to death to tell the spirit of Crown Prince Duanhui in heaven!"

Hai Lan was struck by lightning, she said in disbelief: "Deposed? Beaten to death? How could it be like this?! Why would I say such a thing? Imperial Noble Concubine Ling, it must be Imperial Noble Concubine Ling who harmed me and my sister!"

"Go, go and ask the emperor to see me, and tell him that those words don't count. I didn't harm Crown Prince Duanhui. My sister is innocent, and the emperor can't be so cruel to her!"

The guard cursed, "How can it be said that you yourself admitted to something that Imperial Noble Consort Ling harmed you? If you hadn't framed Imperial Noble Consort Ling, how could you suddenly reveal your crime? What is retribution? This is retribution!"

"Are you still worried about Ulanara? Ulanara was afraid that you would implicate her, so she hurriedly distanced herself from you in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager! You deserve this fate for serving such a cold and ungrateful master! Instead of worrying about her, you might as well worry about yourself!"

Hai Lan was stunned and murmured, "Impossible. My sister has been kind to me and we are like sisters. She can't treat me like this! This dog slave must have been bribed by Imperial Concubine Ling and deliberately alienated the sisterhood between me and my sister."

"Yes, that's definitely the case. I won't be fooled!"
