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

Yan Wan received a tip that the Queen Mother asked the Queen to go to the Cining Palace to talk, and Yan Wan immediately guessed the Queen Mother's purpose.

Knowing that Ruyi had already taken action, Yanwan went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor on the pretext of handling palace affairs.

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

The emperor exempted Yan Wan from the formalities and said, "No need to bow. It's so hot in the sun. Why are you here at this time? Come and sit down."

Yan Wan sat down and said, "The sisters' promotion ceremony is over, and the palace maids who have reached the age of service this year have also been released. I am currently recruiting new young palace maids to each palace."

"There are no problems with other palaces, but the number of servants in Yikun Palace is too large. I heard that Aunt Rong Pei is not very satisfied with the new people sent there."

"I want to select some others to serve, but the Empress is reluctant to allow me to do so. I am afraid that these people will be clumsy and upset the Empress. I am in a dilemma and would like to ask the Emperor for some advice."

When the emperor heard what Yan Wan said, he suddenly remembered that the number of people serving in Yikun Palace indeed exceeded the standards that a queen should have, and almost half of the serving maids were old.

Although the emperor has been visiting Yikun Palace frequently recently, his mind is on Han Xiangjian, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to the abnormalities in Yikun Palace.

"Maidens have to leave the palace at the age of 25. Why are there so many older maids in Yikun Palace? Is the Queen so nostalgic? If so, don't send young maids to serve in Yikun Palace."

Yan Wan said, "I guess the Queen is used to being served by Lingzhi and the others, but Lingzhi and the others are old after all, and their hands and feet are not as flexible as the new maids who have just entered the palace. I'm afraid they can't serve the Queen well."

Jinzhong said at the right time: "Your Highness Concubine Ling is right to worry. Last time, when I went to Yikun Palace to deliver something to Concubine Rong, I saw an old palace maid accidentally bump into Aunt Rong Pei. Aunt Rong Pei scolded her so much that it almost affected Concubine Rong's learning of the rules!"

The emperor had long regarded Rong Pei as a transparent person, and was not bothered by Rong Pei's actions. But if she disturbed Xiang Jian, the emperor would not tolerate it!

The emperor frowned and said, "Lingzhi and the others have served the queen for decades, why does Rongpei always beat and scold them? How can Xiangjian learn the rules like this?"

"The palace has its own rules. Even if the queen is reluctant to let her old friends stay in the palace to serve, they don't necessarily have to stay in Yikun Palace. If the palace maids act clumsily, won't the concubines laugh at the queen and the palace maids for being disrespectful?"

Yan Wan immediately said, "The time to let the palace maids leave the palace has passed. Since the emperor said that we can't serve the queen well this way, why don't you transfer Lingzhi and the others to other places to serve?"

The emperor nodded, "Well, Yanwan, you go and do it."

Yan Wan was about to agree when Li Yu hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, Lady Ling Guifei, Baoyue Tower has reported that Lady Rong suddenly has severe abdominal pain and has already called in the imperial physician!"

The emperor panicked when he heard this. Yan Wan hurried to comfort him and rushed to Baoyue Tower with the emperor.

Ever since the Thirteenth Prince was killed by Granny Tian, ​​Ruyi has become suspicious and believes that Jiang Yubi and Yanfang are colluding to harm her and her son, so she actually sent Jiang Yubi to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

After Jiang Yubin cleared his suspicion of murdering the 13th Prince, the Jin family fell from power and Hailan was confined to the Yanxi Palace. Ruyi began to rely on Jiang Yubin again and still asked Jiang Yubin to return to the Yikun Palace to serve.

Jiang Yubi was taken to the Ministry of Punishment and punished for no reason, so he naturally had many complaints against Ruyi. He rejected Ruyi before he could think of a way.

The emperor felt uncomfortable that Jiang Yebin, as the imperial physician who served him exclusively, always served him in the Yikun Palace whenever he was not feeling well.

When this happened, the emperor took advantage of Jiang Yubin's return home to recuperate and appointed another imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau to serve Ruyi, and ordered Jiang Yubin to serve only him.

The emperor attached great importance to Han Xiangjian. When he heard that Han Xiangjian was ill, he immediately ordered Jiang Yubin to come and treat Han Xiangjian.

Jiang Yubin looked at the emperor who came hurriedly and knelt down in fear to greet him.

"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Concubine Ling! Your humble servant has examined Concubine Rong and found that she has taken something poisonous. This poison will not endanger her life, but it is extremely painful, and..."

When the emperor heard that Han Xiangjian was poisoned, his first reaction was that Han Xiangjian had thoughts of suicide again, and he was extremely panicked.

But after listening to Jiang Yubin's words, he felt that there was something else going on, so he asked, "What? Just tell me!"

Jiang Yebin lowered his head and said, "Noble Rong's life is safe, but she will never get pregnant again!"

The emperor was greatly shocked and angrily shouted to the palace servants serving in Baoyue Tower: "Who is it? Who dared to poison Concubine Rong? Investigate for me!"

Jiang Yebin pointed to an empty bowl and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! I have already asked the palace servants, and they said that Your Majesty only drank this bowl of soup today. I have also found the poison in this bowl!"

A palace maid who served Han Xiangjian saw that the emperor was so angry. She was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on them, so she knelt down and distanced herself from the matter.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I only drank this bowl of soup today, which was personally given to me by the Empress. Not long after I finished drinking it, I fainted from the pain!"

"Every word I said is true. Your Majesty, please investigate!"

The emperor could hardly believe his ears. At this moment, Ruyi also rushed over after hearing the news.

The emperor suppressed his anger and asked expressionlessly, "Did you bring the bowl of soup that Xiangjian drank?"

Although Ruyi found the emperor's expression a little scary, she felt a little guilty.

But then she thought again, she was following the empress dowager's order, and it was not her who wanted to give sterilization soup to Han Xiangjian, so the emperor could not blame her.

Thinking of this, Ruyi said, "Your Majesty, this soup was indeed sent by me, but..."

The emperor was furious. Without waiting for Ruyi to explain, and regardless of the presence of the imperial doctors and servants, he raised his hand and slapped Ruyi mercilessly, making her almost unable to stand!

Everyone was shocked, and the maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in fear. Ruyi didn't expect the emperor to hit her, and in front of so many people! She felt embarrassed and wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.

Rong Pei was also stunned. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emperor's angry eyes, and was so frightened that Rong Pei, who had always dared to go through fire and water for the empress, didn't dare to say a word.

Jiang Yubi was originally shocked by Ruyi's cruelty, and also hated Ruyi's ruthlessness and suspicion. He thought that the emperor would definitely punish Ruyi this time, and was just about to laugh at Ruyi.

Jiang Yubin was shocked that the emperor hit Ruyi directly. He couldn't help but feel happy about the misfortune. He lowered his head in fear that others would notice his thoughts.

Yanwan came here today, firstly to fulfill her promise to Lingzhi, and secondly to see Ruyi being beaten.

When Yanwan heard the grievance and embarrassment in Ruyi's heart, she felt that Ruyi deserved it.

Even if the Queen Mother asked Ruyi to do this, there are so many ways to make someone infertile.

Ruyi could learn from Empress Xiaoxian and the Emperor's tactics and give Han Xiangjian a bracelet containing lindera, or follow Yihuan's prescription for pregnancy-enhancing medicine and have Han Xiangjian take it after sleeping with her.

Isn't this much better than making Han Xiangjian suffer from extreme pain? And she had to deliver it herself, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that it was her who did it!
