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

Looking at Yongji and Jingsi who were crying incessantly, Ruyi had no intention of coaxing them, and asked Rongpei and the wet nurse to take them out to play.

Ruyi was upset and felt that the emperor's change was the result of Yanwan's slander.

Ruyi didn't believe at all that the cause of the Thirteenth Prince's death was because she had reduced Grandma Tian's half of the reward money, and thought it was just a trivial excuse.

Suddenly, Ruyi thought that since Grandma Tian was so short of money, if someone used money to bribe Grandma Tian, ​​that inhumane and vicious woman would definitely help the mastermind behind the scenes to harm her!

After realizing this, Ruyi didn't care about being sad and hurriedly asked Sanbao to go to the Yanx Palace to call Hailan.

After the death of the Thirteenth Prince, it was Hailan who stayed by Ruyi's side to comfort her. Everyone has difficulties, and Hailan had just rested for a day when she unexpectedly received a call from the Yikun Palace.

Hailan walked quickly towards Yikun Palace, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ruyi said to Hailan anxiously, "In this palace now, I only trust you and Rongpei! Hailan, the emperor said there is no one behind this, but I don't believe it. Send someone out of the palace immediately to check on Grandma Tian's family and see if there is anything unusual."

Hailan did not feel tired, on the contrary, she felt that Ruyi had given her such an important task, which was a great trust in her. Hailan nodded solemnly, looking at Ruyi's grief and anger, and comforted her distressedly.

"Sister, I know you feel bad for Thirteenth Prince, but Thirteenth Prince is gone. You must take good care of yourself. Otherwise, even if you avenge Thirteenth Prince, you will ruin your health. Wouldn't that be fulfilling the wishes of the person behind the scenes?!"

Ruyi nodded, "You are right. There are many people in the palace who want to see me make a fool of myself. Even the emperor doesn't believe me. I am sure that this matter is related to Concubine Ling. You must find out the truth. By then, I will see how the emperor can still protect that bitch Concubine Ling!"

Before coming, Hai Lan also heard that the emperor was going to Yikun Palace to visit Ruyi today. Originally, Hai Lan thought that Ruyi would cheer up again with the emperor's comfort.

Unexpectedly, not long after, news spread from the palace that the Emperor and the Empress were quarreling. Hai Lan was worried in the Yanx Palace, so Sanbao came to invite her to the Yikun Palace.

When Hai Lan heard Ruyi mention the emperor, she said softly, "Sister, calm down. The emperor was also deceived by Concubine Ling. But sister, you sent Jiang Yubin to the Ministry of Punishment. It won't sound good if it gets out. Isn't this giving Concubine Ling a free ride?"

Ruyi didn't take Jiang Yubi seriously at all. She always felt that as long as惢心 was around, both Jiang Yubi and Li Yu would be loyal to her.

"Jiang Yubin went to the Ministry of Punishment for a few days, and Suo Xin never came to the palace to ask for mercy from me, nor did she go to find Concubine Ling. Concubine Ling sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to do Suo Xin a favor."

"But惢心 has served me for so many years and has been with me in the cold palace for three years. She is loyal to me. It is impossible for her to be bought by Concubine Ling's small favors. If惢心 does not come to Yikun Palace to plead for mercy, it means that she agrees with my approach!"

"This time, let me teach Jiang Yubin a lesson, so that he won't be confused about who his master is. As long as he cuts off contact with Yongshou Palace, I will still use Jiang Yubin as much as before!"

After listening to Ruyi's words, Hailan felt that Ruyi was both fair in rewarding and punishing, and kind. She sighed, "Sister, you are right. I hope Jiang Yubin can understand your painstaking efforts and not let you down for your kindness to him!"

Hai Lan was just about to leave Yikun Palace to help Ruyi investigate Grandma Tian's family, but she saw a palace maid running back in panic, sweating profusely, crying towards the inner hall.

"Fifth Princess, it's bad! It's bad, Queen! Aunt Rong Pei was bitten by a dog, and the Fifth Princess was frightened when she saw it. She's having a heart attack and is dying!"

Ruyi and Hailan were both shocked. Hailan and the maids from Yikun Palace were busy dressing Ruyi. When Ruyi and Hailan arrived at the nearby Imperial Hospital, the Emperor had already arrived a quarter of an hour ago, and most of the concubines in the palace had also arrived after hearing the news.

The imperial doctors surrounded the Fifth Princess and saw that her face was blue and purple, and she was breathing out more than she was breathing in!

The imperial doctors were treating the fifth princess. Ruyi was anxious and angry, and said angrily: "What is going on? How could the fifth princess become like this? Where is Yongji? How is he?"

Lingzhi immediately knelt down and cried, "The twelfth prince was frightened. The imperial physician gave him a tranquilizing soup and he has fallen asleep."

"Aunt Rong Pei took the 12th prince and the 5th princess to play in the imperial garden. Everything was fine. Then, a few barking sounds of dogs came from somewhere. Aunt Rong Pei was afraid that the barking sounds would scare the 12th prince and the 5th princess, so she asked the wet nurse to look after them and took the servants to drive the dogs away."

"Aunt Rong Pei recognized that the dog was the one that had been moved out of Qixiang Palace. It had run from somewhere to the Imperial Garden and was wandering around. Aunt Rong Pei wanted to go forward to drive it away but was afraid of being bitten, so she froze in place for a moment. At that moment, someone noticed that the dog was missing and went out to look for it. They put the leash back on the dog and prepared to take it back."

"Aunt Rong Pei thought that the dog owner was negligent and frightened the twelfth prince and the fifth princess, so she scolded the dog owner loudly and wanted to punish him in public. The dog recognized its owner and barked at Aunt Rong Pei a few times. Unexpectedly, Aunt Rong Pei was so angry that she snatched the stick from the dog owner and beat the dog!"

"After being beaten, the dog got angry and broke free from its owner, trying to bite Aunt Rong Pei. Aunt Rong Pei was so scared that she ran everywhere, but the dog caught up with her and bit her leg! Aunt Rong Pei screamed in pain, and this scene happened to be seen by the 12th Prince and the 5th Princess. The 12th Prince was fine, but the 5th Princess had a heart attack, and she fainted in a flash of fright!"

Ruyi felt dizzy after hearing this. Fortunately, Hailan supported her in time. Ruyi asked, "How is Jingsi now? Where is Rongpei?"

An imperial physician replied, "The Fifth Princess has been ill before and cannot be frightened again. We have never served the Fifth Princess before, so we dare not use medicine casually. We can only stabilize the Fifth Princess's condition temporarily. As for Aunt Rong Pei, she was rescued in time, but was only bitten by a dog, and has been carried away to apply medicine."

Ruyi said angrily, "It has always been Jiang Yubin who has been serving me and the Fifth Princess. Where is Jiang Yubin? Why didn't he come to serve the Fifth Princess when she got sick?!"

The imperial physician said in embarrassment: "Imperial Doctor Jiang was seriously injured and has been recuperating at home, but I have already sent someone to his house to invite him!"

Ruyi remembered that the dog was once raised by Concubine Jia, so she turned to Concubine Jia and said angrily, "I have already said that dogs are not allowed in the palace. If anything happens to Jingsi, I will kill all your dogs!"

Concubine Jia knew that Ruyi cared deeply about the Fifth Princess, but what did this have to do with her? It was not her who deliberately set the dog to bite Rong Pei.

"Queen, please calm down. Although I have kept dogs for a few days, I heard that the Fifth Princess couldn't stand the dogs barking, so she handed them all over to the Emperor for disposal. I haven't seen these dogs again in the past year, and I don't know why the dogs appeared in the imperial garden. Moreover, the current owner of the dog knew that the dog had caused trouble, and he has executed the dog on the spot."

Ruyi was speechless for a moment. At this moment, the imperial physician rushed out to announce the death: "Oh no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess has passed away!"

The concubines immediately cried out in grief: "The fifth princess has passed away. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please accept our condolences!"
