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

The list of people to be promoted in the palace had been drawn up. Ruyi and Yanwan discussed it for a long time and handed the list to the emperor. They only needed to wait for the emperor to personally issue an order to select an auspicious time for the canonization ceremony.

The Han tribe has also been pacified. It is said that after the leader of the Han tribe was defeated, he presented his daughter to the emperor in the hope of calming the emperor's anger.

Today, the Emperor held a banquet in Chonghua Palace, ready to see what kind of beauty the Han tribe would present.

The concubines in the palace wore auspicious clothes and accompanied the emperor and the empress dowager to enjoy singing and dancing.

I saw a woman dressed in Han tribe costume, with a veil on her face, dancing the Han tribe dance in the hall in a trance.

The emperor has been on the throne for decades, what kind of songs and dances, what kind of beauties has he not seen? He was originally dismissive of this, but for some reason, as soon as the Han tribe woman appeared, the emperor's eyes were attracted to her, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

As soon as she started dancing, the woman from the Han tribe stretched out a jade hand and slowly removed the veil, revealing a cold and beautiful face.

Ruyi and the others had never seen such a dance before, and were also surprised by the appearance of the Han tribe woman. Ruyi was about to praise the woman's beauty to the emperor, but she heard the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground.

When he turned his head, he saw that the emperor had already been bewitched by the dancing beauty in the audience. He stared at the person in the audience with his eyes infatuatedly, as if he was afraid that the person would disappear if he blinked.

Ruyi's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly called the emperor, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

The emperor was brought back to his senses by Ruyi's voice. He didn't bother to talk to Ruyi. He stood up and was about to walk down to carefully observe the appearance of the beautiful woman from the Han tribe.

The emperor asked in a gentle tone: "What is your name?"

The Han tribe woman performed the Han tribe etiquette to the emperor with an expressionless face and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Han Xiangjian!"

The emperor smiled and savored the name, "Han Xiangjian? Xiangjian? What a good name..."

Before the emperor could finish his words, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and Han Xiangjian in front of him had a dagger in his hand, stabbing towards his chest!

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"There is an assassin! Escort!"

Someone shouted, and instantly guards appeared and subdued Han Xiangjian.

The emperor was suddenly attacked, but he did not feel angry at all. He asked the guards to let Han Xiangjian go and said gently: "This is just a joke she played on me. Xiangjian did not want to assassinate me. You all should leave."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and the Queen Mother asked, "Han Xiangjian, why did you want to assassinate the Emperor?"

Han Xiangjian collapsed instantly when she thought of her lost lover. She pointed at the emperor and cried, "It's all because of him! If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have sent me to the Qing Dynasty, and Han Qi wouldn't have died in the avalanche to save me! He's responsible for all this, I'm going to kill him!"

The Queen Mother was about to order someone to take the female assassin, Han Xiangjian, away, when the Emperor said, "There must be a misunderstanding. Come, send Xiangjian to the harem first, and don't delay!"

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor in amazement, "Emperor, she wants to assassinate you, how can you keep her in the palace?!"

Ruyi didn't know what the emperor was trying to do. Could it be that the emperor would disregard Han Xiang's life just because of her beauty?

Ruyi also said: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether Han Xiangjian is an assassin or not, as a princess of the Han tribe, she is not suitable to stay in the palace."

The emperor said: "It is true that women from other clans cannot stay in the palace, but what if she is my concubine, is that not allowed?"

Ruyi was shocked and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The Queen Mother said, "But she is not the Emperor's concubine. The Emperor should choose another place for her to live!"

The emperor's heart had long been bewitched by Han Xiangjian. He simply refused to listen to the empress dowager and Ruyi and insisted on keeping Han Xiangjian in the harem.

The concubines also saw what the emperor was thinking, and hurriedly joined Empress Dowager Ruyi in persuading the emperor to give up the idea.

Yan Wan knew that the emperor was already obsessed with sex, and it was useless for others to say anything, so she just sat in her seat and watched the show.

The emperor simply couldn't listen to what others were saying, and he wanted to quickly send these people to see Han Xiangjian.

The emperor ordered: "Han Xiangjian is a princess presented by the Han tribe. I, at the benevolent request of the empress dowager, have specially retained Han Xiangjian to enter the palace as a concubine! All right, you all may go away!"

The emperor left the empress dowager and concubines in a hurry, leaving behind a group of confused concubines.

The Queen Mother was speechless and reproachful: "The Emperor said that keeping Han was in accordance with my imperial decree. Do you think I issued this imperial decree?"

Ruyi had never seen the emperor lose his composure like this before. Even when her relationship with the emperor was at its most intense, the emperor had never looked at her so infatuatedly.

Ruyi's heart was like a storm, but the Queen Mother expressed dissatisfaction, so she had to respond, "It is my son's incompetence that I cannot dissuade the Emperor!"

The emperor fell in love with Han Xiangjian at first sight, but Han Xiangjian was always silent and expressionless since she entered the palace. Even though the emperor moved all the treasures in the palace to Han Xiangjian's bedroom, Han Xiangjian remained unmoved.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor could make whatever he wanted, and he could have any woman he wanted. But this woman just ignored him, refused to accept his favor, and even tried to commit suicide.

The emperor felt deeply frustrated, but as the emperor, how could he be defeated by a cold-blooded person? The more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted it!

The emperor was only slightly depressed, and was instantly aroused by Han Xiangjian's desire to conquer her.

Ruyi watched the emperor's recent crazy behavior and found it more and more incredible. Hailan said, "Although Han Xiangjian is a rare beauty, the emperor is rich and powerful. How could he be so crazy about a woman? It's really puzzling!"

Ruyi felt very uncomfortable. She didn’t care what kind of person Han Xiangjian was. What she cared about was the relationship between her and the emperor.

"The women in the harem have always been obedient. The emperor is so obsessed with Han Xiangjian because she doesn't want to enter the palace. Maybe it will get better after a while. But Hailan, I have never seen the emperor look at any woman with such a passionate and obsessed look!"

Hai Lan said: "Since Han Xiangjian entered the palace, the emperor has never turned over the cards again, and the concubines in the harem are very resentful."

But Ruyi couldn't care less about these, because her resentment was even greater than those of the concubines!

"The concubines have taken turns to go to the Yangxin Palace to persuade the emperor, but the emperor refused to listen and even went to her bedroom every day. The emperor has always been a wise ruler, but how come he became a foolish ruler who lost his mind due to lust after meeting Han Xiangjian? No, I can't watch the emperor do this, I have to go to the Yangxin Palace to meet him!"

At this time, the emperor, who had not been able to get Han Xiangjian for a long time, wanted Ruyi to help persuade Han Xiangjian, so he sent Li Yu to invite Ruyi to the Yangxin Palace.
