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

The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over after hearing Ruyi's crazy words. In the past, Ruyi always targeted Yanwan, and the emperor didn't know why. He thought that Ruyi saw that Yanwan was a bit like Ruyi when she was young, and she was unhappy to see that he favored Yanwan.

But until I heard Ruyi say this today, I didn't know that Ruyi's prejudice against Yanwan was so deep. So deep that she hoped Yanwan would be tortured to death by Concubine Jia!

At this moment, the emperor seemed to understand why Granny Tian hated Ruyi so much, to the point of risking the death penalty for plotting to murder the royal heir, in order to take revenge on Ruyi!

The emperor stood up suddenly, looking down at Ruyi, sneered, and refuted each of her questions: "You said I won't accompany you during the birth? When Concubine Shu gave birth, who said that women's births are always like that and why we should worry?"

"You said that I believed the one-sided words of the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory and Grandma Tian? You withheld Grandma Tian's reward and kicked her out of the Yikun Palace. You knew that Grandma Tian was upset, so why did you choose her to deliver the baby? Is there no other midwife in our empire except Grandma Tian?"

"You said Jiang Yebin and Yan Wan were suspects? I have already asked Jiang Yebin. It was you who believed what Grandma Tian said. Why do you want to blame Jiang Yebin? Yan Wan begged me to release Jiang Yebin. That's because Yan Wan knew that Jiang Yebin was my special doctor and that he was innocent!"

"How can I not be heartbroken when Yongjing died young? You blame me for not coming to the Yikun Palace to visit you. You only care about your own sadness. Why don't you think of going to the Yangxin Palace to comfort me?"

"You sent Jiang Yebin, who you personally recommended and who has served you for many years, to the Ministry of Punishment, causing chaos in the entire palace. I haven't come to question you yet, but you are randomly bringing up Yan Wan to question me!"

"I dote on Yan Wan, and I am also praying for the child. Why can Yan Wan propose to give an extra month's salary to pray for Yong Yue in the month when Empress Xiaoxian is almost born, while you want to reduce the reward for the midwife by half?"

"If this hadn't happened, how could Grandma Tian harm Yongjing? In the final analysis, Grandma Tian is guilty of a heinous crime, and you, as his mother, can't escape responsibility!"

Ruyi was stunned. She never expected that the emperor would say such words to her. She was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

The emperor and the empress were arguing, and Rong Pei and others were outside and did not dare to come in. Just at this time, Yongji and Jingsi came back from school. In order to ease the relationship between the two, Rong Pei brought Yongji and Jingsi in to pay their respects.

Seeing the young Yongji and Jingsi, the emperor did not want the children to witness their parents' discord.

Finally, the emperor said, "Forget it. I know you feel bad too. I hope you can remember this lesson and be more lenient to the palace maids and eunuchs, just like Empress Xiaoxian did."

Ruyi was looking at her two children and was about to give up. But when she heard the emperor compare herself with Empress Xiaoxian and even said in front of the children and servants that she was not as lenient as Empress Xiaoxian, she felt that this was a great humiliation to herself. She didn't care that Yongqi and Jingsi were still around and started arguing with the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, are you comparing me with Empress Xiaoxian? I have been the empress for so many years, and I have never been biased in my dealings. But Your Majesty not only always thinks of Empress Xiaoxian's goodness, but even when Concubine Ling made a fuss about Empress Xiaoxian, Your Majesty didn't care about my face!"

"Since Your Majesty felt that Empress Xiaoxian was kind and benevolent, why didn't Your Majesty believe her when she fell into the water and died, causing her to die with hatred?!"

The emperor was so angry that he turned around and argued with Ruyi, "I misunderstood Empress Xiaoxian at first, but after Empress Xiaoxian passed away, I did a lot of research and proved that those things were all dirty water thrown at Empress Xiaoxian by others! After the truth is revealed, of course I have to clear Empress Xiaoxian's name!"

"You said you have been the queen for many years and have never been biased? When Empress Xiaoxian was in power, although there were fights among the concubines, most of the time it was peaceful. In the past, Yan Wan helped you deal with trivial matters, and the palace was relatively peaceful. But look, since you took power alone, the turmoil in the palace has never stopped!"

Ruyi was so angry that she retorted, "Empress Xiaoxian is the emperor's original wife. The emperor thinks that I am not as good as Empress Xiaoxian for the sake of Prince Duanhui and Princess Hejing. But Concubine Ling is just a bannerman. Does the emperor think she is worse than me?!"

The emperor said, "Although Yan Wan was born in a humble family, she was personally trained by Empress Xiaoxian, so naturally she has the shadow of Empress Xiaoxian. Empress Xiaoxian is not only kind and lenient to her, but also considers my feelings in every way and helps me solve my problems. Unlike you, you only create troubles and make me upset!"

Ruyi was heartbroken when she heard the emperor belittle her, but she couldn't help but want to prove herself, "Your Majesty, you said I am useless? Then who gave the emperor the idea when the Khorchin tribe asked to marry the legitimate princess? If I hadn't persuaded Princess Hejing to marry far away, the Khorchin tribe would have been the empress dowager's helper long ago!"

The emperor had never wanted to marry his own princess to the Khorchin tribe, not to mention that Princess Hejing would be able to live in the capital in the future, which was also Yan Wan's idea. Speaking of this, the emperor remembered that Mongolia intended to form another marriage alliance with the Qing Dynasty.

"Since you said you wanted to relieve my worries, the Mongolian tribe wrote a letter not long ago saying that they wanted to marry into the royal family. Tell me, should I agree?"

Ruyi thought the emperor wanted to choose her daughter Jingsi to marry into the Mongolian empire, but she felt that the emperor was cruel and immediately objected, "Jingsi is the only princess between you and me. She is so young and has a heart disease. How can the emperor be so cruel to let Jingsi marry into the Mongolian empire?!"

The emperor continued, "Of course I know Jingsi is young, I just decided on the marriage first."

Ruyi still refused and said firmly: "Mongolia only wants to marry into the royal family. Jingsi is not the only princess in the royal family. Why can't the emperor choose someone else? I already have Yongjing, and I can't let Jingsi marry far away in Mongolia and suffer!"

The emperor had no intention of letting the princess marry far away in Mongolia, he just wanted to test Ruyi. The emperor looked at Ruyi's behavior and sneered.

"When the Khorchin tribe came to ask for the marriage of their legitimate princess, I heard that you and Concubine Chun went to persuade Jingse to marry far away, saying that a princess enjoys the offerings of the people and should give up everything she has, otherwise she is not worthy of being a princess!"

"At that time, Empress Xiaoxian had only Jingse as her living child, but she still considered my country and agreed to let Jingse marry far away. Jingse married to the Khorchin tribe and had a good reputation and was supported by the people. Now it's your turn, but you let someone else take your place. With your behavior, how can you be compared with Empress Xiaoxian?!"

Ruyi was both ashamed and angry. Yongqi and Jingsi were so scared when they saw the emperor and the empress dowager arguing endlessly that they burst into tears. No matter how Rongpei and the wet nurse tried to comfort them, it wouldn't work.

The emperor felt very annoyed and left Yikun Palace.
