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

Ruyi originally wanted Hailan to devise a plan to force out Wei Yang's true identity, so that they could take this opportunity to investigate Concubine Ling's background.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yunche reported that Hailan's nephew Zhaqi had a relationship with Grandma Tian, ​​and Zhaqi had already betrayed Hailan, saying that Hailan was the real murderer who murdered the Thirteenth Prince!

Ruyi naturally didn't believe Zhaqi's words, but she was the one who asked for the investigation, and she had to give an explanation to the emperor. She had no choice but to watch Hailan being imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.

Rong Pei said with some concern: "Empress, Princess Yu has been taken to the Ministry of Punishment, which is not a place for concubines. Do you think we should make some arrangements for Princess Yu?"

Ruyi packed up her armor and said, "No need, Hailan is not the murderer. The emperor only locked Hailan up to silence the concubines in the harem."

"Before there is solid evidence, the people from the Ministry of Punishment will not embarrass Hai Lan. Let's wait for Ling Yunche to find out the truth."

Rong Pei didn't understand Ruyi's theory, but since Ruyi said so, Rong Pei naturally believed Ruyi's judgment.

Rong Pei said: "The Queen is wise!"

Hai Lan looked at the various torture instruments in the Ministry of Punishment, and then at the miserable appearance of her bastard nephew Zachi being tortured, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Zhaqi was tortured. Seeing Hailan coming to see him, he shouted, "Aunt, save me! I gave the money to Grandma Tian's son only because of your orders. You can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Hai Lan said angrily: "When did I instruct you to do such a thing? How can you slander me like this?!"

How could Zaqi have suffered such a hardship before? He didn't care about the truth, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

Zaqi cried and said, "Aunt, I am your nephew, you can't just ignore me! I am the only male in Koriyet, aunt, you have to admit it, otherwise I will die!"

Although the emperor did not torture Hai Lan, Hai Lan knew how powerful the Ministry of Punishment was, and she did not dare to trust anyone here.

I didn't dare to sleep or eat anything, for fear that I would be assassinated by the mastermind behind the incident.

But after a long time, Hai Lan couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't want to stay in the Ministry of Punishment anymore. She wanted to get out urgently. She wanted to see Ruyi!

The concubines were paying respects to Ruyi in Yikun Palace when Rong Pei came to report, "Empress, there's news from the Ministry of Punishment that Concubine Yu wants to see you!"

Among those present, no one doubted Hai Lan's loyalty to Ruyi, and everyone knew that Hai Lan had been harmed by someone.

When the concubines heard that Hai Lan wanted to see Ruyi, they all thought it was normal, and it was also normal for Ruyi to go to see her.

Ruyi had her own thoughts, and said calmly, "Concubine Yu is suspected of murdering the Thirteenth Prince. Everything is handled by the Ministry of Punishment. It is not convenient for me to see her, so you should go back."

All the concubines were shocked and looked at Ruyi in surprise. But Ruyi thought that the concubines thought she was impartial.

After the concubines left, Yongqi heard that Hailan was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, so he came to Yikun Palace to plead with Ruyi to allow him to visit Hailan.

Ruyi had just said in front of all the concubines that the matter would be handled by the Ministry of Punishment. Even though Ruyi knew that Yongqi was worried about Hai Lan, she couldn't do something that would slap herself in the face immediately.

Ruyi comforted Yongqi and said, "Yongqi, I know you are worried about your mother, but there is no definite evidence yet. The emperor will not embarrass your mother, so you can rest assured."

"I will find out the truth as soon as possible and take your mother out of the Ministry of Punishment. You can go back to Xiefang Palace to study first."

Yongqi wanted to plead for mercy again, but at this time Ling Yunche asked for a meeting.

Ruyi knew that Ling Yunche must have something important to do, so she sent Yongqi away first. However, Yongqi was still worried, so he went back and hid in a corner to see how Ruyi would rescue Hailan next.

Ling Yunche said: "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Ruyi asked Ling Yunche to sit down, and everyone except Rong Pei left.

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me. Please sit down. Concubine Ling is extremely cunning and will not take the bait at all. Now things are getting complicated."

Ling Yunche came here just for this matter. "Queen, please be patient. In order to rescue Concubine Yu, we can only do something!"

Ruyi asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ling Yunche said: "I heard that Concubine Yu's nephew Zhaqi is a playboy who loves drinking and gambling. Concubine Ling's brother Zuolu also has the same personality. In order to rescue Concubine Yu, I think we can start with Zuolu!"

Ruyi nodded, "This is a good idea, but it's far from enough. The emperor has long been bewitched by Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling is good at flattering others. There's no guarantee that she will make the emperor believe her after just a few words!"

Ling Yunche thought for a while, and made up his mind: "Not only do I know the characters of Wei Yang and Zuo Lu, but their neighbors also know them. If they intend to harm the queen, I believe no one will doubt it!"

Ruyi immediately understood what Ling Yunche meant and thought that Ling Yunche’s idea was very good.

After all, Ling Yunche and Concubine Ling knew each other when they were young, but in order to help her, he did not hesitate to come up with such a trick to deal with Concubine Ling. Ruyi was deeply moved.

Ruyi said, "Then let Hailan stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a few more days, and you go and handle this matter yourself. In the face of the evidence, how can the emperor still protect Concubine Ling!"

Ling Yunche nodded and said, "I will do it myself, Your Majesty, rest assured!"

After finishing the serious business, Ling Yunche was still reluctant to leave. Thinking that in just a few short months, Ruyi had experienced two separations of life and death, Ling Yunche felt heartbroken.

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi's slightly haggard face and couldn't help but said with concern: "The Queen has lost a lot of weight! I will soon be able to help the Queen to avenge the Thirteenth Prince and the Fifth Princess. The Queen must not be too sad!"

A warm current flowed through Ruyi's heart. She smiled brightly at Ling Yunche and warned him, "After all, you and Concubine Ling have known each other since childhood. If you go and find evidence of a crime, I'm afraid it will give Concubine Ling a chance to refute it."

"I will hand this matter over to Li Yu. You just need to be responsible for arresting the person."

Seeing how thoughtful Ruyi was, Ling Yunche said gratefully, "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration!"

Yongqi tiptoed out of Yikun Palace. He couldn't believe what he heard!

He knew from a young age that his mother would give everything for the Imperial Mother. His mother always told him how kind and generous the Imperial Mother was, so he had to repay the Imperial Mother's kindness like his mother did.

But when it was my mother's turn to be framed, the Empress Dowager, although she knew clearly how loyal she was, refused to see her in order to avoid suspicion!

Not only that, the Empress Dowager wanted to frame the innocent Concubine Ling just because of a little personal grudge!

Moreover, how could a man like Ling Yunche appear in the inner hall of Yikun Palace so openly? !

Listening to the conversation between the Empress Dowager and Ling Yunche, Yongqi felt that something was wrong. This was not the tone a subject should use to address the Queen!

Could it be? No, no, he must have heard it wrong!

Empress Ling didn't interact with him much, but she was very caring towards the princes and princesses. Yongqi didn't believe that Empress Ling would do such a thing.

Yongqi wants to rescue his mother, but he will never do so by framing innocent people!
