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

After Jinzhong left, the two eunuchs he brought with him closed the gate of the Yikun Palace and put a big lock on it, locking all the palace people in the Yikun Palace inside.

Three of the four smart maids stayed by Ruyi's side to serve her, while one took all the servants of Yikun Palace to the back hall. It seemed that they wanted to keep Ruyi under strict control under their noses.

When the news of the closure of Yikun Palace spread to the six palaces, Concubine Jia was naturally proud and said with a smile: "The emperor has finally made up his mind. It's true that if everyone in the palace knew that his beloved imperial concubine had an affair with Master Anji from the Southern Border Holy Land, the emperor would be very proud. How could he tolerate it?"

"Jeong-suk, go to the Ministry of Punishment and tell the interrogator, Nanny Jing-chi, that in order to get the truth, there is no need to be cautious and just use whatever means you have."

Zhongcui Palace also got the news. Concubine Chun smiled and said to Kexin, "After all, Concubine Jia is smart and daring. I just asked you to tell Zhenshu some news, but Concubine Jia came up with such a vicious plan."

"But it is also true that the Imperial Noble Consort is the Emperor's concubine. How can she run to Anhua Palace every day without any scruples? With the way they do not follow the rules between men and women, even if there is no Concubine Jia, there is no guarantee that there won't be other troubles in the future!"

Ke Xin said, "My Lord is right! The Imperial Noble Consort ordered Concubine Yu to harm the Third Prince. This time we have finally vented our anger for the Third Prince."

Concubine Chun was timid and cowardly. After experiencing the funeral of Empress Fucha, she knew that she was not as good at planning as Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, and she also knew that she did not have the friendship between the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor. She had completely given up the idea of ​​becoming the Empress, and just wanted to spend the rest of her life with her children.

Concubine Chun was worried, "The Emperor has different feelings for the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine will not sit still and wait for death. Concubine Jia is not an easy person to deal with. If this matter is found out about us, it would be a small matter for me to be scolded and punished, but I hope that Yongzhang and the others will be implicated!"

Ke Xin comforted him, "Don't worry, my Lord. This was all done by Concubine Jia. What does it have to do with us? We just said a word. We didn't deliberately frame the Imperial Concubine. Who made her careless? Even if it is proven that the Imperial Concubine is innocent in the end, it can't be blamed on us."

After hearing what Ke Xin said, Concubine Chun felt relieved. Since she had already done this, there was no room for regret. This time, she would teach the Imperial Concubine a lesson. As for Concubine Jia, she would find another opportunity in the future.

After finishing his task, Jinzhong quietly went to Yongshou Palace. At this moment, he was squatting beside Yanwan, peeling oranges for her.

"Empress Jia is really good at keeping quiet, but when she does, she makes a splash. She even dared to falsely accuse the Imperial Concubine of having an affair with Master Anji! However, it's good for her to take action, as it can also help your master vent his anger." Jinzhong said.

Yan Wan sneered, "She was able to come up with a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, killing the Seventh Prince and Empress Xiaoxian. Killing Su Lian destroyed the eldest prince's hope of ascending the throne. Is there anything in this world that she dare not do? By the way, how is Su Lian, is she awake?"

Jinzhong shook his head and said, "Ever since Sulian was pushed into the water by Zhenshu, she has been unconscious. The doctor said that if she continues to be treated, she might wake up in three to five years. I was afraid that someone would find out, so I didn't dare to bring her back to the capital. Instead, I settled her in a farmhouse not far from the capital on the way back from the eastern tour."

Three to five years? That's just the right amount of time.

Yan Wan said, "It's okay. Let the doctor treat it well. I'm not in a hurry. What's going on in other palaces?"

Jinzhong said: "Qixiang Palace and Zhongcui Palace are naturally very happy. Yikun Palace is under close surveillance, not even a fly can fly out. When Concubine Yu heard about this, she was extremely anxious and sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to pass on a message to the emperor, but was stopped by the servants."

"The maids are interrogating Suo Xin, but they can't get anything out of her. The emperor found out and ordered torture, so Concubine Jia went to make some arrangements in private. My master Li Yu and Jiang Yubin were almost going crazy, but they didn't dare to ask the emperor for mercy."

"What about Ling Yunche?" Yan Wan asked.

When Jinzhong heard the name Ling Yunche, he felt unhappy, thinking that Yanwan still had feelings for him, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Why are you asking him, Master Ling? Are you still thinking about your childhood sweetheart?"

Yan Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "I am talking to you about serious matters. Can you please be serious? Ling Yunche was promoted by the Imperial Concubine to be a guard in front of the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace. He is loyal to the Imperial Concubine. Now that the Imperial Concubine is in trouble, is he going to do nothing?"

"I heard that the emperor asked him to take the guards to clean up the palace. Don't let him find out anything first and ruin my good deeds."

Jinzhong felt relieved when Yan Wan said that. He smiled and said, "Ling Yunche is just a useless idiot. Otherwise, how could he have stayed in the cold palace for so long? Concubine Jia did everything perfectly. Ling Yunche can't find anything. The master can rest assured. But he always goes to Yikun Palace under the pretext of searching."

Yan Wan knew this was the case, and said, "Your master is the chief eunuch, and has a lot of face in the palace. He also likes惢心, and Concubine Jia can send someone to take care of it. Why doesn't he go? If he doesn't go, I will go. Tell someone to pass on the message, don't make it too difficult for惢心."

Jinzhong also felt that Li Yu's feelings were not good enough. If it put his master in trouble, even if it cost him his life, he would not blink an eye!

Jinzhong asked, "惢心 is loyal to the Imperial Concubine, so she shouldn't be able to ask anything that would harm her. Your Highness is helping惢心 at this time because you are kind-hearted. But the Imperial Concubine is a person who doesn't know what's good for her, so I'm afraid she won't appreciate your kindness."

Yan Wan sneered and said, "I know the Imperial Concubine's character better than you do, and I don't expect her to have a change of heart. The reason why Li Yu and Jiang Yubin are loyal to the Imperial Concubine is largely because of惢心. If I do a favor to惢心, it would be best if I could find a marriage for her. Do you think they will be grateful to me and work for me?"

"Your master's plan is good, but in order to win them over, the Imperial Concubine will definitely arrange the marriage for them personally. How can she let your master get away with it?" Jinzhong said.

Yan Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that Ling Yunche always goes to Yikun Palace?"

Jinzhong understood immediately and said with a smile: "I understand now."

The emperor's birthday has arrived, but he is not in the mood. The concubines are wearing auspicious clothes and have been waiting in Chonghua Palace early.

During the period, Yihuan mentioned Ruyi and asked her why she did not attend the birthday banquet.

While directing the palace servants, Concubine Jia said, "Who in the palace doesn't know about the Imperial Concubine and Master Anji? Why is Sister Shupin asking even though she already knows the answer?"

Yihuan didn't believe Ruyi was such a person, and spoke for her, "I don't believe that the Imperial Concubine and Master Anji have an affair. The Emperor must thoroughly investigate this matter and clear the Imperial Concubine's name!"

Concubine Wan was worried, "The Imperial Concubine is staying indoors and Concubine Yu is still under house arrest. I heard that Suo Xin was also tortured. If something like this happens, will Master Anji be punished?"

Concubine Chun came over and said to Yi Huan, "Today is the Emperor's birthday. He certainly doesn't want to hear these things that spoil the fun. You must not mention the Imperial Concubine in front of the Emperor, so as not to spoil his fun."

As they were talking, the emperor and the empress dowager had already arrived at Chonghua Palace.
