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

Empress Fucha told the emperor about Yanwan's proposal and asked for his grace. The emperor was reluctant to let Princess Jingse marry far away, so he naturally agreed after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!" Empress Fucha thanked him.

"Since the Queen can understand my difficulties, I will naturally try my best to meet her requirements. I'm glad you can understand it." said the emperor.

Empress Fucha thought for a moment and said, "I was so sad that I couldn't have thought about it so thoroughly. This was all Lingpin's idea. She thought about me and Jingse so much. It's no wonder that the emperor dotes on her."

"Really? Lingpin is really thoughtful." The emperor became more and more satisfied with Yanwan.

Princess Jingse will be able to return to Beijing one day, and Empress Fucha feels much better after listening to Yanwan's words of consolation.

The emperor also learned from Qi Ru that Empress Fucha was terminally ill, so he decided to end his eastern tour early and return to Beijing. In order to make it easier for Empress Fucha to recuperate, he decided to take the water route.

Ruyi knew that the emperor had decided to let Princess Jingse marry a foreign prince, and she must be very sad. In order to comfort the emperor and show her love for Princess Jingse.

Ruyi proposed to the emperor that a princess's mansion could be set up in the palace so that when the princess and her husband returned to Beijing to report on their work or visit their families, they could stay in Beijing for a few more days.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and said, "You and Lingpin have the same idea. Lingpin also made a suggestion to the queen, and the queen reported it to me today. I have decided to let Jingse and the prince consort return to Beijing to live permanently in a few years!"

Ruyi was very surprised. For some time, she had only seen the Empress Dowager and the Empress fighting for their daughters, while Concubine Ling had stayed out of the matter. Why did she wait until the marriage was settled before making such a proposal?

Isn't this just stealing her credit in front of the emperor and empress? It seems that Wei Yanwan is really taking advantage of every opportunity!

A few days later, the emperor and the empress had dinner together. The emperor asked the empress to take care of herself and go back home to rest early.

On her way back, Empress Fucha ran into Ruyi, who greeted her and said, "Your Highness, I am here to see you! Your Highness is waiting for me to enjoy the moon with you, so I will take my leave first!"

Su Lian looked at Ruyi's receding back and said angrily, "Noble Concubine Xian is deliberately showing off the emperor's favor to her in front of the queen, and she is showing off in front of the queen!"

Empress Fucha was very unhappy after hearing Su Lian's words. When she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly remembered Yan Wan's words of consolation. She felt that as an empress, there was no need for her to argue with a concubine. Looking at the bright and clear moonlight, she also felt like appreciating the moon.

"I want to be alone for a while, you two should go back to the boat first."

At night, the dragon boats on the eastern tour and the boats carrying the concubines were close to each other. Empress Fucha was admiring the moon alone when she suddenly heard Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Mei chatting in another boat.

I only heard Meipin say with a mocking tone: "Before the Eastern Tour, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported to the Emperor that the celestial phenomena were not auspicious and might be bad for the Empress. Now that the Empress is seriously ill, is this in line with the celestial phenomena?"

"Don't dare to say anything nonsense. The Queen is seriously ill because the Seventh Prince passed away. The Seventh Prince is also pitiful. How could he suddenly get smallpox?" Concubine Yu said.

Concubine Chun also said, "Yes, if it weren't for the sudden death of the Seventh Prince, the Empress wouldn't have been so sad. But then again, fortunately the other concubines and princes in the palace didn't get the smallpox, which was really a blessing from the gods and Buddhas."

Meipin knew that Empress Fucha was outside, so she deliberately provoked her loudly, "Sisters, this is in line with the saying that whatever evil a mother has done will be repaid on her children. This is called retribution! Who made her do so many bad things? She deserves it! This is retribution!"

Empress Fucha was furious after hearing the conversation between the three people and wanted to rush in to punish them. But when she heard the saying of "repaying with a hug", she was stunned and could only mutter to herself.

Suddenly, Empress Fucha thought of the appearance of Yonglian and Yongcong when they died. She was deeply saddened and turned around and walked away quickly in a daze. Unexpectedly, she slipped and fell directly into the water!

That night, Yan Wan went to pay respects to the Emperor. Ruyi was dining with the Emperor at that time. After sitting for a while, Yan Wan stood up and said goodbye. The Emperor ordered, "Jinzhong, go and send Lingpin back."

The moonlight was beautiful and Yan Wan was lingering on the road when she suddenly heard the cry for help of a woman who had fallen into the water.

Yan Wan was surprised: "What's that noise? Why is there no one on duty here?"

"Maybe the guards and palace maids serving here got lazy and went to rest in a sheltered place." Jinzhong also felt strange and replied.

Yan Wan thought of something and took a few quick steps, but her foot slipped and she almost fell down in her clogged-bottom shoes. Seeing that Yan Wan was about to fall, Chun Chan and Jin Zhong beside her hurriedly supported her.

At the corner, Yan Wan saw a woman in bright yellow clothes struggling in the water, and also saw a man dressed as a guard rushing over!

Yan Wan pointed at the water and shouted, "There's someone there! Someone has fallen into the water, help quickly! It's the Queen! The Queen has fallen into the water, help quickly!"

After Chunchan held Yanwan steadily, Jinzhong took a step forward, and Ling Yunche, who had arrived after hearing the news, jumped into the water to save Empress Fucha.

Soon, Empress Fucha was rescued by Jinzhong and others, and Yanwan's cry for help also alarmed the emperor and the empress dowager.

After a period of war and chaos, the imperial physician had already examined Empress Fucha, but she was already seriously ill and was only being kept alive by taking medicine.

Empress Fucha was furious after hearing the heart-piercing words from Concubine Mei and the other two. She was also saddened by the untimely death of Yonglian and Yongcong. Now she was at the end of her rope and could not hold on for a few more days!

Qi Ru reported Empress Fucha's condition to the Emperor, Empress Dowager and others, and they were also shocked. Princess Jingse didn't want to believe this fact, and cried and scolded: "It's obviously because you are not good at medicine and can't cure the Empress Dowager's illness. How can you say that the Empress Dowager is dying?!"

The Queen Mother knew that Princess Jingse and Empress Fucha had a deep mother-daughter relationship and could not accept this blow, so she comforted them, "Imperial Physician Qi is a national expert. Now that the Queen is seriously ill, no one else in the palace dares to tell the truth except him."

Princess Jingse was very sad after hearing this. Yanwan supported Princess Jingse and comforted her softly, "Princess, don't be too sad. Take care of yourself. If the Queen sees you like this, she will definitely be worried."

Princess Jingse has never liked the concubines in her father's harem, but Yanwan was recommended by Empress Fucha herself. She also heard from Empress Fucha that Yanwan suggested that the emperor allow her to return to Beijing to live permanently in the future. Today, Yanwan was the first one to discover Empress Fucha who fell into the water. Princess Jingse still has a good impression of Yanwan.

The situation was in chaos, and the Queen Mother took charge of the situation and ordered: "Noble Consort Chun, Noble Consort Xian, and Concubine Ling will stay here to take care of the Queen. Jingse, you can go back with me."
