Ruyi lost two children in half a month, and her heart was filled with grief. Ruyi pointed at Concubine Jia and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it was because Concubine Jia wanted to keep a dog that Jingsi was frightened to death today. I beg Your Majesty to take care of Jingsi!"

Concubine Jia immediately knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I do not deny that I was once the owner of this dog, but since Your Majesty asked Eunuch Jinzhong to take the dog out of Qixiang Palace a year ago, I have never seen these dogs again. Moreover, Lingzhi just said that it was Rongpei who angered the dog and frightened the Fifth Princess. This matter has nothing to do with me. I am innocent!"

Ruyi didn't believe what Concubine Jia said at all and felt that this matter was closely related to Concubine Jia.

The emperor said, "Okay, I have checked it out. This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jia, nor anyone else. If Rong Pei hadn't angered the dog, this wouldn't have happened at all!"

Ruyi leaned into Hailan's arms and cried, "I don't believe it! If this dog hadn't suddenly appeared, how could Rong Pei do this? Someone must be trying to harm my Jingsi!"

Hai Lan hugged Ruyi and cried, "Sister, please accept my condolences. The Emperor will make the decision for the Fifth Princess!"

The emperor heard that Ruyi was still defending Rong Pei and wanted to punish her, but it was really pitiful that Ruyi had lost two children in a row. The emperor sighed with fatigue.

"Ruyi, this is an accident. Jingsi is gone. Let's take care of Jingsi's funeral first. Yupin, you stay with the queen. Everyone else can go back."

Before Ruyi could say anything else, the emperor had already started to leave.

All the concubines lowered their heads and dared not breathe, fearing that they would be used as scapegoats by the angry queen. When they heard that the emperor asked them to go back, they paid their respects to Ruyi and left in a hurry.

When they first received the news that the fifth princess was frightened, Concubine Jia and Yan Wan both suspected that the other party had done it. But when they arrived at the scene, they found that it was all Rong Pei's own fault.

Yan Wan couldn't help but feel emotional. It seemed that even if she didn't take action, the Fifth Princess would still not be able to escape.

Ruyi returned to the Yikun Palace, grief-stricken and crying bitterly. Ruyi hated the emperor's coldness and indifference.

Ruyi doesn't believe that Jingsi's death was just an accident, but she doesn't believe that the emperor will uphold justice for her and her two children. She wants to find out the truth herself!

Ling Yunche was also very dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior. Now Ruyi only had the 12th prince as her only child. After Ling Yunche got off duty, he went to pick up the 12th prince and taught him how to pick a red plum to please Ruyi.

Ruyi felt a little relieved as she hugged the twelfth prince. Looking at Ling Yunche's worried face, she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about me. I will cheer up for Yongji. I will also avenge Yongjing and Jingsi!"

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi's smiling face, which was uglier than crying, and felt heartbroken. He advised: "Empress, I know that you are upset. If you want to cry, just cry. This will make you feel better."

"Don't worry, Queen. No matter what the Emperor does, I will do my best to help you find out the truth and punish the murderer!"

Listening to the promise made by Ling Yunche, Ruyi felt a warm feeling in her heart and felt that she had not chosen the wrong person.

Ruyi confided in her heart, "Ling Yunche, I only know of your good intentions. I suspect this matter is related to Qixiang Palace and Yongshou Palace, but I have no evidence now."

"Hai Lan will help me deal with Yong Jing and Jing Si's funeral affairs, so I'll trouble you to help me investigate Grandma Tian's family. Remember, you must investigate in secret!"

Ling Yunche nodded to reassure Ruyi, "Don't worry, Queen! Queen, do you have any evidence to support your suspicion of Concubine Ling? This humble servant can serve as a breakthrough point."

Ruyi said: "Although there is no obvious connection with Yongshou Palace, I always feel that Concubine Ling will not stay out of it. But Concubine Ling is very cunning, and I can't find her fault for the time being. I can only watch Concubine Ling laugh at my incompetence behind my back!"

"Ling Yunche, every time I think of Yongjing and Jingsi, I feel heartbroken! They were still so young, how could Concubine Ling have the heart to do that to them?! Ling Yunche, now I can only rely on you!"

Ling Yunche couldn't bear to see the high and mighty Queen crying helplessly in front of him. He had already secretly sworn in his heart that he would protect the Queen for the rest of his life. And now was the time for him to fulfill his oath!

Ling Yunche thought of Concubine Ling's mother's family, and in order to please Ruyi, he gave Ruyi some advice, "Queen, please be patient. I have known Concubine Ling since childhood, and I know that Concubine Ling does everything perfectly."

"Since we can't find any flaws in Concubine Ling, why don't we turn our attention to her mother's family? As far as I know, Concubine Ling's mother, Wei Yang, is a rude and greedy woman who likes to gamble. Her brother Zuo Lu is a complete playboy!"

"Concubine Ling has been pregnant for more than five months. It won't be long before Wei Yang will enter the palace to accompany Concubine Ling in childbirth. With Wei Yang's behavior, she will definitely cause trouble for Concubine Ling. Then we can use this as an excuse to investigate Concubine Ling!"

Ruyi's eyes lit up, and she felt that Ling Yunche's analysis made sense. Seeing Ling Yunche taking so much trouble to plan for her, Ruyi felt that Ling Yunche was the one who was good to her.

Ling Yunche returned to his mansion and Mao Qian came forward to greet him, but Ling Yunche just wanted to be alone at the moment. He asked Mao Qian to prepare wine and food for him, then asked Mao Qian to leave and drank alone in the room.

Mao Qian had been married to Ling Yun Che for several years, but Ling Yun Che had always been very cold to Mao Qian. Mao Qian got married at an older age, and she no longer had the obsession with love that her younger daughter had.

Despite this, Mao Qian also hopes to live a normal life with her husband. Ling Yunche is not home for a long time, and when he finally comes back, he drinks alone, and when it's late at night, he is alone, holding something and staring blankly!

Mao Qian really wanted to have a good chat with Ling Yunche. Mao Qian didn't ask for much. She wanted at least one of them, the love of her husband and the abundance of material wealth, right? Ling Yunche was a royal guard, working in front of the emperor. He looked respected, but in fact he had no money or power, and he didn't even have any family assets!

Ling Yunche was drunk again. Mao Qian finally helped him to the bed, but she heard Ling Yunche mumbling, "Don't be sad, okay? Ruyi, don't cry. Ruyi, I will find a way for you!"

Mao Qian felt as if she was falling into an ice cellar after hearing this. Ruyi? Who was Ruyi? She could tolerate her husband not having her in his heart, but she absolutely could not tolerate her husband having another woman in his heart!

Mao Qian listened carefully to the name Ling Yunche called out, wanting to secretly find out which vixen had seduced Ling Yunche's soul!

At the same time, a familiar figure came to Yongshou Palace.
