The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters
Chapter 110 Rehabilitate
Overnight, the wind direction in the palace changed. Concubine Ling regained favor, while Concubine Jia's crime of murdering Empress Xiaoxian and her son and the Thirteenth Prince was exposed.
Ruyi had long guessed that Yongjing's retirement was related to Concubine Jia, and she was not surprised to hear such news. Concubine Jia had been imprisoned in Qixiang Palace by the emperor, and there was no possibility of turning over, so Ruyi let Concubine Jia fend for herself.
But Ruyi could not tolerate Concubine Ling regaining favor. When she heard the news, she immediately went to the Yangxin Palace with Hailan to ask for an audience with the Emperor, asking him to severely punish Concubine Ling.
After the emperor ordered the imprisonment of Concubine Jia and the execution of Concubine Mei, he took Yan Wan and others back to the Yangxin Palace. Knowing that Ruyi had returned, he waited for her in the Palace.
Ruyi and Hailan came in to pay their respects and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Yanwan and Yihuan also paid their respects to Ruyi, "Your concubines pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"
The emperor asked knowingly, "Ruyi, why are you here?"
Ruyi said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling's mother Wei Yang cursed me with witchcraft, and her brother Zuolu deliberately instigated Zhaqi to frame Concubine Yu. Your Majesty, for the sake of the Seventh Princess, can just not cure Concubine Ling's mouth, but how can you give the Seventh Princess to Concubine Ling to raise again?!"
The emperor did not answer but asked, "Ruyi, you have also heard that Empress Xiaoxian and her son and Yongjing were murdered by Jin, right?"
Ruyi said, "I heard about this. Could it be that the Emperor forgave Concubine Ling for this reason?"
The Emperor said, "Concubine Ling has served me for ten years and has never forgotten the kindness that Empress Xiaoxian has shown her. How could someone of her character do something like murdering the heir to the throne? What happened before was just a misunderstanding. Why should you, Ruyi, care about it?"
Ruyi said unhappily, "How can the emperor trust Concubine Ling?"
The emperor was also a little unhappy. "It was Concubine Ling who personally found evidence of Jin's crimes and found out the real murderer who harmed Yongjing. Ruyi, you are Yongjing's biological mother. You don't hate Jin's viciousness, so why do you always make things difficult for Concubine Ling?"
Yan Wan said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress has some misunderstandings about me. In front of everyone, I am willing to confront the Empress to clear up her misunderstandings about me."
The emperor nodded. "That's fine, Ruyi. Just ask if you have anything you want to ask."
Now that the Jin family has fallen, if they can also bring down Concubine Ling, they can rest easy. Ruyi and Hailan looked at each other and felt that they were ready. As long as they could convince the emperor, they could punish Concubine Ling!
Ruyi asked, "Ling Fei, someone saw your brother Zuolu drinking and gambling with Hailan's nephew Zhaqi. How do you explain it?"
Yan Wan did not answer but asked, "I want to ask the Queen, did you know what kind of person Yupin's nephew Zhaqi is? Did you know that he often asked Yupin for money?"
Ruyi was stunned. "I don't know. Why are you asking?"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "The Queen and Concubine Yu are sisters, and Concubine Yu is even more loyal to the Queen. You don't even know what kind of person Zhaqi is, how can I know?"
"Let's take a step back. Even if I knew, what would that mean? I admit that Zuolu was indeed a useless and dissolute young man. It is because I know what kind of person Zuolu is that I felt deeply uneasy when the emperor bestowed upon my family the honor of carrying the banner."
"But the emperor was far-sighted and gave me an idea. I invited many masters to teach Zuolu, and then led Zuolu onto the right path. The neighbors all knew about this, and they had a great change in their views of my mother and Zuolu. If the queen doesn't believe it, she can find someone to confront me!"
Ruyi had heard about this matter a long time ago and felt that Concubine Ling was really scheming to use this as an excuse.
Ruyi said, "It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. How can there be such a big change in just a few years?"
At this time, Li Yu and others who went to Wei's house to search testified for Yan Wan.
"Your Majesty, I was ordered by Your Majesty to search the Wei Mansion and asked many people about it. The neighbors all said that the old lady and Master Zuolu have changed a lot. Not only have they long since given up bad habits such as drinking and gambling, they have also done a lot of good deeds and have a much better reputation. Everyone said that it was the good teachings of Your Majesty and Concubine Ling."
Ruyi hated Li Yu for being too talkative, and then she remembered something and asked, "When I gave birth to Jingsi, I heard that Chunchan, who was beside you, met Grandma Tian and gave her some money. How do you explain this?"
Chunchan came out to explain, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I did see Grandma Tian at that time. I happened to run into Grandma Tian that day and saw her wiping away tears, so I curiously asked her the reason."
"Grandma Tian said that she was in urgent need of money, but the Empress wanted to pray for the Fifth Princess and reduced the reward by half. I felt sorry for Grandma Tian, so I gave her an idea and asked her to report the truth to the Empress and ask for her grace to reward the other half of the reward."
As soon as Chunchan finished speaking, Yihuan continued, "Later, I heard that Grandma Tian had angered the Empress, and Sister Yanwan told me when she came to Chuxiu Palace. I felt sorry for Grandma Tian's motherly heart, and for her contribution in helping the Tenth Prince to give birth, I rewarded her with dozens of taels of silver. From then on, I never had any contact with Grandma Tian again."
Yihuan and Chunchan's words seemed to say that Ruyi was mean and ungrateful in front of so many people, which made Ruyi feel embarrassed.
Hai Lan spoke up for Ruyi, "You knew that Granny Tian was holding a grudge against the Empress, so why did you give her money? What's more, you have done Granny Tian a favor, so she will naturally not betray you!"
Yan Wan and Yi Huan were both speechless. Yan Wan asked, "Since you knew that Granny Tian was resentful of the Queen, why didn't you persuade the Queen to replace Granny Tian when the Queen chose Granny Tian to deliver the baby again?"
Yi Huan continued, "We only gave Granny Tian some silver because we felt sorry for her. If this is also a crime, then Concubine Yu placed Granny Tian, a potential threat, to serve the Empress, which led to the death of the Thirteenth Prince. The Emperor and the Empress have a good reason to punish you to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Hai Lan was ridiculed by Yan Wan Yi Huan and her face turned red with anger.
Ruyi knew that Yihuan had betrayed her long ago and joined Concubine Ling, but she was still shocked and angry that Yihuan could say such sarcastic words in public.
Ruyi said angrily, "Shu Fei, as the mother of the Tenth Prince, you should know how difficult it is to be a mother. My son Yongjing was killed by the vicious woman Tian Lao Lao, and you don't feel the same way, but how can you say such sarcastic words to Yupin? Shu Fei, do you think you are overstepping your bounds?!"
Speaking of this, Yihuan found it ridiculous. When the Tenth Prince was taken away by the Queen Mother and she went to ask her for help, how could she not understand the feelings of a mother?
The Fifth Princess and Grandma Tian's daughter were both born with a disease, so why couldn't she understand Grandma Tian's motherly love? If she hadn't withheld those dozens of taels of silver, how could the Thirteenth Prince have been killed?
Yi Huan couldn't ask these questions in public, so she said, "What I said was presumptuous. What about the heartbreaking words Ye Xin said in Yongshou Palace when sister Yan Wan gave birth?!"
