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

Ruyi was surprised at the boldness of Han Xiangjian and Han Qi, and was afraid that they would do something shocking again, so she hurriedly asked Rong Pei to invite Ling Yunche to the Yangxin Palace.

Ling Yunche thought that Ruyi could not resist Han Xiangjian's pleading and was willing to risk her life for her and did something foolish, so he started to persuade her as soon as he finished greeting her.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen! Your Majesty, you cannot ignore your own safety just because you think Rong and Concubine are pitiful! You must listen to my humble servant's advice that day!"

Ruyi looked at Ling Yunche's concerned eyes and smiled gently, "I have heard your words. I will not put myself in danger. I have never agreed to Rongpin, but Rongpin could not bear it anymore and went to find Ling Guifei herself, saying that she wanted to meet the Han tribe members."

Ling Yunche felt something was wrong when he heard this. "What? She went to see Concubine Ling? Did Concubine Ling notice anything?"

Ruyi also felt that Han Xiangjian's move was to cause trouble for her, and said unhappily: "Noble Concubine Ling should not have noticed it yet, but Rongpin has a bolder idea. She actually wants to have frequent secret meetings with Han Qi! And she even asked me to help cover it up for them!"

"I have already rejected Rongpin's unreasonable request, but I am worried that Rongpin will get carried away and do something stupid again."

"Noble Concubine Ling is good at winning over palace maids. Who knows who is her spy? If Noble Concubine Ling finds out about this, she will definitely stir up trouble!"

"I asked you to come here just to hear what good ideas you have."

Ling Yunche was very dissatisfied with Han Xiangjian's behavior, fearing that Han Xiangjian's affair would implicate Ruyi.

"Empress Rong is so ignorant! Now that she has become the emperor's concubine, she should remember her status and stop having unreasonable thoughts!"

"Your Highness must not agree to her request. Otherwise, when the truth comes out, it will not be a pity for Concubine Rong and Han Qi to die, but Imperial Concubine Ling will definitely spread rumors to the Emperor!"

Ruyi said, "Of course I know this, but Rongpin learned the rules in my palace, so she is my person in the eyes of outsiders. If she commits a crime, I will not be able to escape responsibility!"

"Originally, Hai Lan asked me to take Concubine Rong under her wing, hoping that she could share the favor of Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu. But I didn't expect that over the past year or so, the emperor still favored Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu, but he was not as crazy about Concubine Rong as before."

"I haven't even used Rongpin to deal with Concubine Ling yet, but Rongpin wants to drag me into this because of her personal feelings! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have listened to Hailan!"

The more Ruyi said this, the more Ling Yunche worried about Ruyi's situation and offered some advice.

"Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Rong is the Queen's person. If you suddenly become estranged from each other, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from outsiders. However, Han Qi's existence is really a hot potato."

"For your safety, Han Qi must not stay in the palace any longer. Please make a decision soon, Queen!"

Ruyi was enlightened. "Rongpin said before that Hanqi's body is seriously injured and he may not live long. If that's the case, you should find an excuse to drive Hanqi out of the palace."

"With Han Qi not in the palace, I'm sure Rongpin won't have any inappropriate thoughts."

Ling Yunche nodded and said, "Yes, Queen, you are wise!"

Ruyi instructed: "You must do this in person, but don't let anyone recognize Han Qi's identity!"

Ling Yunche said: "I know the seriousness of this matter, please rest assured, Queen!"

After finishing the business, when there was no one around, Ling Yunche said with concern: "Noble Concubine Ling is pregnant again, the Queen doesn't have to worry about it, the Twelfth Prince is smart, filial, and a legitimate son. With Noble Concubine Ling's background, it is impossible for her to help the Fourteenth Prince!"

"I will also take care of the twelfth prince's studies for the queen, so the queen can rest assured."

After hearing Ling Yunche's words, Ruyi smiled and nodded.

After Ling Yunche left, he prepared to do the task assigned by Ruyi. However, he had never met Han Qi, and it was not easy for him to inquire about the situation of the Han tribe members, so as not to alert them.

He has served in the Yangxin Palace for so many years. Although he was framed for theft in the palace many years ago and successfully replaced his position, those imperial guards are now serving as officials in the previous dynasty.

But they still had a hard time with him, and the imperial guards in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity ignored him.

Ling Yunche had no manpower and wanted to ask Li Yu for help, but the relationship between them had gradually become distant in recent years. After thinking about it, Ling Yunche thought of Zhao Jiuxiao, who was also working in the cold palace.

Ling Yunche lied to Zhao Jiuxiao and said that the emperor intended to release a group of old and weak people from the Han tribe, but he was afraid that Concubine Rong would be unhappy, so he told him to find a few people to do it quietly.

Zhao Jiuxiao and Ling Yunche have not had any contact for several years. Because Zhao Jiuxiao married Lan Cui, Ling Yunche was dissatisfied with Zhao Jiuxiao, and the friendship between the two as colleagues and brothers has been exhausted.

Ling Yunche came suddenly, Zhao Jiuxiao was confused and did not agree immediately. He went back and told Lan Cui, who thought something was fishy and asked Zhao Jiuxiao to pass the news to Chunchan.

Chunchan immediately reported this to Yanwan, who sneered. It seemed that Ling Yunche was not only a waste himself, but he also wanted to frame her through Zhao Jiuxiao and Lan Cui!

Zhao Jiuxiao knew that there was a trick and deliberately delayed the matter. Ling Yunche was worried that Han Xiangjian would find Ruyi to embarrass her again, so he had to bribe a few guards with money and sent Han Qi and others out of the palace.

Through the information intentionally leaked by Jinzhong, Han Qi knew that it was Ruyi's idea to expel him from the palace, so he told Han Xiangjian all this through other members of the Han tribe.

When Han Xiangjian sent people to find out the news with great difficulty, she also learned that Han Qi had been expelled from the palace.

"What did you say? Han Qi left the palace? Who did this? Was it Concubine Ling?"

The trusted palace maid said, "No, Concubine Ling has been kept in the dark until now. I asked someone to pay money to the people in Yikun Palace and found out that after you left that day, the Queen summoned Master Ling Yunche."

Han Xiangjian was not familiar with Ling Yunche, so she asked, "Ling Yunche? Who is he? Why was he summoned directly by the Queen?"

The trusted maid replied, "I heard that Lord Ling is the Empress's savior. The Empress trusts him very much and has promoted him to the Yangxin Palace twice to serve as a royal guard."

"The messenger said that Lord Ling entered the Yikun Palace as if he were in an empty house. Sometimes even Aunt Rong Pei had to leave when they talked. I heard that it was Lord Ling who advised the Empress not to interfere in the master's affairs, and said that he wanted to send Han Qi out of the palace so that the Empress would not be implicated!"

The trusted palace maid hurriedly told Han Xiangjian exactly what she had heard.

Before Han Xiangjian could feel disappointed with Ruyi, she received the sad news that Han Qi had died of illness due to anger!

Han Xiang was in great pain. She hated herself for trusting Ruyi so much that she harmed her own body, was used as a pawn to deal with Concubine Ling, and even killed Han Qi!

Han Xiang really wanted to rush to Ruyi's bedroom to avenge Han Qi, but her trusted maid hurriedly pulled her back, "Master, calm down! She is the queen, you can't do anything to her!"

"If you let this matter out, not only will you not be able to avenge Han Qi, but you will also implicate the clan members! Master, I think the Queen and Lord Ling have a close relationship, so why don't we be patient for now!"

Han Xiang knew that she was outnumbered and could not compete with Ruyi, so she could only suppress her anger and wait for the opportunity.
