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

Princess Hejing's mind was all on Crown Prince Qingyou, and she was only concerned with taking care of the sleeping Crown Prince Qingyou.

Ruyi took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I have already found out. It was Concubine Yu who failed to take good care of the four princesses and took them to the lake to play, and accidentally bumped into Prince Qingyou. Prince Qingyou slipped and fell into the water, and it was Jingyu and the others who shouted for help that the guards rescued Prince Qingyou in time."

Yan Wan always felt that things couldn't be that simple, and frowned, "Before I came to Yangxin Palace, I did ask Concubine Yu to take care of Jingyu and Jingyun, but Jingyu and Jingyun have always been obedient, so why would they go to the lake to play?"

Ruyi was afraid that Yanwan would see through her, so she said immediately, "It's normal for children to be naughty occasionally. Your Majesty, the reason why Prince Qingyou fell into the water was because Concubine Yu didn't take good care of the princess and the prince. If the guards hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Prince Qingyou would be in great danger!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Concubine Yu has an unshirkable crime of negligence. If she is not punished, it will be difficult to explain to the Khorchin tribe and Princess Hejing! I have already confined Concubine Yu to the palace."

Yan Wan always felt that something was wrong, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter is serious, why don't you call Concubine Yu to ask?"

Just as the emperor was about to agree, Ruyi immediately interrupted, "Doesn't Concubine Ling want to seek justice for Prince Qingyou? Today, the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess were also frightened. Concubine Ling should have returned to Yongshou Palace earlier to take care of the two princesses!"

Although Yanwan had no evidence, she knew there was something else going on when she saw Ruyi's abnormal look.

Anyway, Prince Qingyou will wake up soon and will tell Princess Hejing the truth. Never mind, it's more important to take care of Jingyu and Jingyun first, let Ruyi be proud for a while.

Sure enough, when Prince Qingyou woke up, Princess Hejing got a different answer from her son.

When Princess Hejing heard that it was Princess Jingjun who pushed her son into the water, she was furious and immediately went to find the emperor to seek justice for her son.

Ruyi also sent people to keep an eye on Princess Hejing's whereabouts. When she saw her coming to the Yangxin Palace, Ruyi immediately rushed to the Palace.

The emperor was shocked and said, "What? Qingyou said that Jingyu pushed him down?!"

Princess Hejing said, "Yes, I was under Qingyou's care for a day and a night before he woke up. I asked him what happened. Qingyou said he left his nanny and ran to the lake alone, where he accidentally bumped into a girl."

"The girl started to curse Qingyou, and Qingyou couldn't get angry and started arguing with her. At this time, Empress Yu came to mediate and revealed the identities of the two. Unexpectedly, Qingyou and Sixth Sister still refused to calm down, and Sixth Sister pushed Qingyou down when she got angry!"

"Qingyou said that when he fell into the water, the sixth sister was still on the shore, threatening him and not letting anyone come to rescue him. It was Empress Yu and the seventh and eighth sisters who shouted for help!"

As the father of the emperor, he was naturally aware of what kind of person Jing Xuan was. When Princess He Jing came to complain, the emperor had no doubts in his heart.

Before the emperor had time to lose his temper, Ruyi heard Princess Hejing's words outside the palace gate and said hurriedly, "Princess said that Qingyou and Jingyu had a quarrel. She was inevitably exaggerating the facts in anger. Princess, please don't believe in the words of a child."

"No matter what, it was Concubine Yu who failed to take good care of the princess and the prince. I have already confined Concubine Yu to the palace. Later, I will ask Concubine Ying to bring Jingxuan to apologize to the princess and Qingyou. Let's just let this matter go. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor did not approve of this way of handling the case. He frowned and said, "Ruyi, as the queen, you have the right to deal with the concubines, but you must have evidence for everything and cannot act according to your temper. The facts are still unclear, how can you make a rash conclusion?"

"Besides, although Qingyou is a bit naughty, he shouldn't say anything nonsense about something like this. Qingyou is my grandson, I can't just watch him suffer!"

When Princess Hejing heard Ruyi explicitly and implicitly pinning the blame on Qingyou and Concubine Yu, she felt that what Qingyou said was the truth.

"Does the Queen Mother mean that Qingyou lied and deliberately framed Sixth Sister? Qingyou and Sixth Sister are both ten-year-old children. Since the Queen Mother said that children's words are often exaggerated and cannot be trusted, why does the Queen Mother believe Sixth Sister's words so much?"

"Could it be that because Sixth Sister grew up under the Empress Mother's watchful eye, while Qingyou grew up in the Princess's residence, the Empress Mother favors Sixth Sister from the bottom of her heart?!"

Ruyi said, "Of course not, but so many people here saw it, how could it be false? Jingse, I know you feel sorry for Qingyou, but..."

Princess Hejing interrupted Ruyi and said, "Present? Was the Empress also present when Qingyou fell into the water? Why did I hear from the maids that only Empress Yu and her sisters were present when Qingyou was rescued?"

Seeing Ruyi trying to explain herself, Princess Hejing asked again, "Does the Empress Dowager want to say that the maids who served her were afraid of being blamed for not serving her well enough, so they deliberately framed the crime of Qingyou falling into the water on Sixth Sister?!"

Ruyi was speechless for a moment, Rong Pei immediately spoke up to explain for Ruyi: "The Queen Mother didn't mean that, but the Queen Mother felt that since it was unclear what happened, Prince Qingyou and the Sixth Princess are both descendants of the Emperor, and Prince Qingyou is not seriously injured, so since it is just a misunderstanding, why not make a big deal out of a small matter?"

Princess Hejing said angrily: "I am talking to the Emperor and his wife. Who are you? Do you have the right to interrupt?!"

The emperor felt that what Rong Pei said was not very convincing, as if in their eyes, Qingyou's fall into the water was just a trivial matter.

He said angrily, "How dare you, a dog slave, talk about my descendants? Li Yu, drag this dog slave down and fight him fifty times!"

Ruyi was busy trying to plead for Rong Pei, but the Emperor said to her, "I have told you many times to discipline Rong Pei, but you never listened. You allowed a servant like Rong Pei to make decisions for me! If you can't discipline your servants anymore, I will let Concubine Ling find you a new maid in charge!"

In front of Princess Hejing, Ruyi was severely scolded by the emperor, who made her so angry that her face turned red and purple. She could only watch Rong Pei being taken away by Li Yu to be beaten with a stick.

Princess Hejing calmed down a little and continued, "Father, I think that the incident of Qingyou falling into the water cannot be left unsolved. Since both parties have their own opinions, and the Empress was not present and does not know what happened, but several sisters were present."

"Why don't you send some of your sisters here and ask them what happened?"

The emperor nodded and asked Jinzhong to bring the princess to the Yangxin Palace.
