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

With the cover of the Han tribe and the secret arrangement of Yanwan Jinzhong, Han Xiangjian and Han Qi finally met.

Han Xiangjian dismissed his attendants and asked his trusted palace maid to guard outside.

Han Qi could no longer contain himself when he saw the lover he had been thinking about day and night. He took a step forward and hugged Han Xiangjian in his arms.

Han Xiangjian's heart was filled with joy at her lover's resurrection. However, not long after, Han Xiangjian remembered that this was in the Old Summer Palace and she had become a concubine of the Qing Emperor. If they met secretly, it would be a serious crime punishable by death.

Han Xiangjian hurriedly pushed Han Qi away, looked at Han Qi's haggard face, thought of the doubts in her heart, and asked impatiently.

"Han Qi, aren't you dead? How did you end up in the Old Summer Palace? When did you sneak in? Were you discovered?!"

Han Qi returned to reality and suppressed his joy at meeting Han Xiangjian again after a long separation. An obvious anger and sadness gradually appeared on his face.

"That day, I followed your carriage, but unfortunately encountered an avalanche. In order to deliver you to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, your father did not even check whether I was still alive."

"Fortunately, I was taken home by a kind person and woke up after being unconscious for many days. But I was seriously injured and could not chase your convoy again."

"When my injury healed a little, I went to the capital in disguise. I heard that Princess Han had assassinated the Qing emperor in public at a banquet and was imprisoned in the Forbidden City. I was extremely worried and wanted to break into the palace to save you!"

"But I never expected that not long after, you would become the concubine of the Qing Emperor!"

Han Xiang saw that she had no face to listen any longer, so she cried and explained, "Han Qi, I didn't mean to betray you or our relationship! I saw you get killed in the avalanche with my own eyes, and the people who went to investigate also came back and told me that you were dead!"

"When I heard the news of your death, I didn't want to live alone. I knew that the Qing emperor was the culprit, so I wanted to assassinate him to avenge us!"

"But who would have thought that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would take a fancy to me and even let the Empress come to persuade me..."

Han Qi angrily questioned: "Did you listen to the Queen's advice? I risked my life for you and risked my life to come to the palace to see you. But you threw our vows behind your back because of the Qing Emperor's woman's advice!"

"Are you worthy of me and the relationship between us? You are a fickle woman, I really misjudged you!"

Han Xiang was so ashamed that she explained with a broken heart: "It's not like that! The Queen said that you are dead, and that as a princess of the Han tribe, I shouldn't be trapped by love. It's easy for me to die, but what about my father, mother, and our Han tribe? I can't watch them die!"

Han Qi could accept such words and softened his tone, "Okay, I understand your difficulties. Now that you have saved the Han tribe, are you willing to leave this place with me?"

Han Xiangjian dreams of leaving here and returning to her hometown, but she knows that even if Han Qi is resurrected, she cannot have such extravagant hopes.

"Han Qi, the Qing Dynasty is too powerful. Our Han tribe is just like an ant in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. If we just leave, how can our Han tribe withstand the wrath of the Qing Emperor?!"

Han Qi's face suddenly turned cold. "I heard that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty doted on you very much and did many things that were not in accordance with the rules. Could it be that you were deceived by him and voluntarily stayed in the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

When Han Xiang found out that Han Qi doubted her sincerity, she felt wronged and angry and cried out.

"How could you miss me so much? I thought you were dead. For the sake of my parents and my family, I had to follow the Queen's advice and become the Imperial Concubine of the Qing Emperor."

"But my heart has gone with you. I don't want to betray the relationship between us. I'm looking for a way to avoid pregnancy from the queen. I've given so much for you. How could you misunderstand me like this?"

"Since you already knew that I was the emperor's concubine, and since you thought I was greedy for wealth and fame, why did you risk your life to sneak into the Old Summer Palace to find me? Go away!"

When Han Qi saw Han Xiangjian's aggrieved and crying face, he knew that he had said too much and was afraid that he had hurt Han Xiangjian's feelings.

Han Qi tried many ways to find the members of the Han tribe. He heard that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty had allowed Rongpin to meet her own people in the palace, so he sneaked in hoping to meet Han Xiang.

During these days in the capital, Han Qi naturally inquired about many things about Rongpin. He knew that the current queen, Ulanara Ruyi, sent Rongpin a bowl of sterilization soup on the order of the queen mother.

Not only did he make Concubine Rong suffer from severe pain, but he also completely deprived her of the ability to have children!

At that time, Han Qi was in anger and pain due to being betrayed by his lover. When he heard the news, he felt relieved that Han Xiangjian could not give birth to a child for the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

But when he saw her today, Han Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for the suffering Han Xiangjian had endured for him, and he blamed Ulanara Ruyi for her cruelty.

Han Qi caressed Han Xiangjian's face with heartache, "I spoke out of turn. I am too jealous of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty! But even if you don't want to bear a child for the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you don't have to ruin your body like this!"

Han Xiangjian said, "I didn't think too much about it at that time. The Queen was willing to help me, so I drank it without asking anything. I didn't expect the medicine to be so effective and painful."

Han Qi felt even more distressed, and said dissatisfiedly: "I have heard a lot of things during the time I entered the palace. I heard that the current queen is not the legitimate wife of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she hates that Empress Xiaoxian took away her position as the legitimate wife."

"Empress Xiaoxian was also worried that given her relationship with the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, she would give birth to a child first, threatening the status of her own child, so she gave her and another concubine a bracelet with Linglingxiang."

"Linglingxiang has the effect of preventing pregnancy and has no adverse effects on the body. If you don't want to get pregnant, she could just give you Linglingxiang. Why did she have to make you suffer so much?"

"I heard from the imperial physician that if you take more of the medicine, it will endanger your life! Does Ulanara Ruyi really care about you?"

Han Xiangjian hesitated and said, "Empress, she, she probably didn't think of it for a moment, right? Let's not talk about anything else for now. What are your plans? You can't hide in the palace forever, right?"

Speaking of this, Han Qi's expression was gloomy, "My body is not as strong as before, and I have been working very hard to see you this past year."

"I know it's impossible for us to be together. I just hope I can see you often in the remaining days of my life!"

Han Xiang felt upset after hearing this, and was worried that Han Qi's identity would be exposed, which would bring fatal disaster to Han Qi.

"There are many people in your tribe who know you. What if your identity is exposed?!"

Han Qi said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. Aren't you on good terms with the Queen now? Why don't you ask her to cover for us. If she really treats you as one of her own, she should help us."

Han Xiangjian thought this made sense and decided to wait for Ruyi to return to the Old Summer Palace before discussing it.
