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

Wanpin stopped, looking a little hesitant, and asked in confusion: "What does it have to do with the emperor?"

Yan Wan said: "Since the death of Empress Xiaoxian, the Emperor has always missed her in his heart. Over the past ten years, he has written countless poems to commemorate her. This shows the status of Empress Xiaoxian in the Emperor's heart. The Emperor is also a rare person who is loyal and affectionate."

"As Sister Wanpin said, this matter can be done by me and Sister Yihuan for the Emperor. I am not afraid that Sister Wanpin will be angry. You have been in the palace for so many years, and the Emperor has always been indifferent to you. I am afraid that the Emperor has long forgotten that there is a person like Wanpin in the palace, right?"

"I know that Sister Wanpin also truly loves the emperor. Instead of sitting in the Zhongcui Palace and burning incense and chanting Buddha's name every day, why don't you do something for the emperor in person? It will also let the former court and the harem know what kind of husband the emperor is."

Wanpin was somewhat tempted by this, but she was always timid and knew that Concubine Ling and the Queen were sworn enemies. If the Queen knew about this, wouldn't she offend the Queen?

"I appreciate your kindness, but I am stupid and I am afraid I will not be able to do the job you have asked me to do and fail your kindness."

Yan Wan said, "I know what Sister Wanpin is worried about. I admit that I have my own selfish motives in coming to you to do this. Sister Wanpin is the emperor's concubine, shouldn't she be thinking about the emperor? If I remember correctly, Sister Wanpin has not been in the emperor's bed for many years. Don't you want to see the emperor regain his favor?"

Wanpin was moved by Yanwan's words. She went to Yikun Palace to pay respects a few days ago, hoping that Ruyi would mention her to the emperor, or directly arrange for her to meet the emperor. But she didn't expect that Ruyi and others would send her away with a few words.

Yan Wan heard Wanpin's thoughts and continued, "Sister Wanpin, don't think that Yingfei and Yupin are in the same situation as you. Yupin is the queen's confidant and gave birth to a prince as smart and capable as the Fifth Prince. Yingfei herself has the Sixth Princess and is confident that she has the support of the Mongolians behind her."

"Even if they are not favored in their lifetime, the emperor will not forget them for the sake of the prince and princess. But what about you, sister Wanpin? You don't have a good family background, and you don't have children. If you don't fight for yourself, do you want to be a transparent person in this palace forever?"

Wanpin was shocked. She was naturally unwilling to be forgotten by the emperor forever after she became old and ugly in the palace. Anyway, Concubine Ling only asked her to collect and copy some of the emperor's poems. She was really doing it for the emperor, and she didn't ask her to do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth. So it wasn't considered a betrayal of the queen, right?

After returning to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Wan began to copy the poems day and night, and finally handed the compiled collection of poems to Princess Hejing before the death anniversary of Empress Xiaoxian.

Princess Hejing and the Fifth Prince showed the collection to the Emperor, who said with emotion, "Is this really compiled by Concubine Wan? Did I write so many of them?"

Princess Hejing smiled and said, "When Madam Wan gave this to me, I was also surprised. It turns out that even after so many years of my mother's passing, my father still misses her so much."

The longer it was since Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the more the emperor felt that he had misunderstood her. The more chaotic the harem became under Ruyi's management, the more virtuous Empress Xiaoxian seemed.

The emperor was touched. "Although Empress Xiaoxian has passed away for many years, her reputation for virtue should not be forgotten. Since Concubine Wan is willing to compile this collection of poems, we should print it into a book and pass it on to the harem and officials and ladies. I'll leave this matter to you."

After Princess Hejing and the Fifth Prince left, the Emperor called for Concubine Wan that night.

At first, when Ruyi and Hai Lan heard that it was Concubine Wan who was sleeping with them, they thought they had heard it wrong.

Within a few days, the imperial poem written by the emperor to Empress Xiaoxian was circulated in the court and the harem.

With Princess Hejing outside the palace and Empress Yan Wan inside the palace, it triggered a wave of remembrance for the kindness of Empress Xiaoxian.

"Have you heard? The Emperor wrote countless mourning poems for Empress Xiaoxian, all of which praised her character and said that she was a virtuous empress!"

"I heard it, I heard it, every time you read the emperor's imperial poem, you can feel his praise and remembrance for Empress Xiaoxian, it's really moving!"

"Yes, especially this sentence. If I had known that I would lose my son and my mother, why would I have hoped for Meng Xiong in the first place? The emperor values ​​his legitimate son the most. He actually said such words for Empress Xiaoxian, which shows how deep his feelings for her are!"

"That's right, that's right. The two legitimate sons of Empress Xiaoxian died early, and the emperor named one Prince Duanhui and the other Prince Zhe. But the Empress of Yikun Palace lost the Thirteenth Prince and the Fifth Princess within half a month, but the emperor did not posthumously confer titles on them. They are both Empress and legitimate sons, but the difference between them is too big!"

"I heard that posthumous titles were drafted by ministers and then agreed upon in the court. But Empress Xiaoxian told the emperor that she liked the word 'Xian' before she died. After Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the emperor directly used the word 'Xian' as the posthumous title for the empress. This shows how much the emperor valued Empress Xiaoxian!"

"I heard that when Empress Xiaoxian was in power, she treated the concubines and palace maids very well. Although the palace didn't want to be as extravagant as it is now, Empress Xiaoxian practiced frugality herself. After the emperor's collection of poems was compiled, besides the emperor, the imperial concubine was the happiest in the palace."

"You just entered the palace and don't know that Concubine Ling was a maid before. She was tortured in the Qixiang Palace of the Jin family for five years. It was the emperor who rescued her. Later, it was Empress Xiaoxian who kept her in Changchun Palace and taught her the rules personally. The emperor and Empress Xiaoxian are Concubine Ling's benefactors. Now everyone in the palace knows the character of Empress Xiaoxian, so Concubine Ling is of course happy."

"So that's how it is. Imperial Concubine Ling has always been very kind to us servants. It turns out that they were all taught by Empress Xiaoxian herself. No wonder the Emperor dotes on Imperial Concubine Ling so much!"

"Tell me, why does the Empress always have a problem with Concubine Ling?"

"Can't you see this? When Empress Xiaoxian was in power, the Empress relied on the fact that she and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts and didn't take Empress Xiaoxian seriously at all. She contradicted her everywhere. Concubine Ling is from Changchun Palace. Can the Empress be nice to Concubine Ling?"

"That's right. I heard that before Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the Emperor listened to other people's instigation and thought that Empress Xiaoxian was a vicious woman who did all kinds of evil things. If it weren't for the palace maids in Changchun Palace testifying for Empress Xiaoxian, wouldn't Empress Xiaoxian have passed away and still be cursed?"

……

Not only were the emperor's poems to Empress Xiaoxian circulated everywhere inside and outside the palace, but Ruyi and Empress Xiaoxian were also compared everywhere.

Everyone serving in the palace has witnessed Ruyi's style of doing things over the years, and they are certainly no match for Empress Xiaoxian's reputation for virtue.
