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

Ruyi didn't want Yanwan and Princess Hejing to be proud, so she tried to dissuade them, "Your Majesty, this is a family matter, and it happened a long time ago. Why do you have to hold on to it?"

Yan Wan objected, "Since it's a family matter, why does the Queen have to confine Concubine Yu to the palace? The Queen can forgive Concubine Ying and the Sixth Princess, why can't she forgive Concubine Yu? Is the Queen so partial to one and neglect the other?!"

Princess Hejing also retorted: "My son Qingyou was almost killed by my sixth sister, but the Queen Mother just ignored it and accused me of making a fuss. Qingyou shouldn't have quarreled with my sixth sister that day, and I apologized for Qingyou in front of the Queen Mother."

“It’s been so long since Qingyou fell into the water, and I haven’t seen Empress Ying bring her sixth sister to visit Qingyou once! Maybe in the eyes of Empress Dowager and Empress Ying, Qingyou’s life is insignificant. But in the eyes of me and the Khorchin tribe, Qingyou’s safety is related to the future of the Khorchin tribe!”

When Crown Prince Qingyou fell into the water, Princess Hejing never forced the Emperor to seek justice for herself and Qingyou. Instead, she always thought about herself, the Emperor's father.

The emperor really loved his grandson Qingyou. How could he not feel distressed when Qingyou was pushed into the water for no reason? How could he not be angry?

Ruyi sided with Balin Meiruo and Jingju from the beginning, ignored the grievances and injuries suffered by Qingyou, and took the opportunity to suppress dissidents. The emperor was really disappointed with Ruyi's behavior.

Princess Hejing has taken a step back for the sake of the overall situation.

But Balin Meiruo and Jingjuan actually thought they had done nothing wrong. It would have been fine if they hadn't personally apologized, but they didn't even send someone to deliver a gift of apology or a few soft words to the princess's residence. Were they bullying Princess Hejing's good nature? !

The Emperor could not tolerate Princess Hejing, the only surviving daughter of his and Empress Xiaoxian, being wronged. He was worried that Princess Hejing would be treated in an unbecoming manner by Ruyi, and that she would misunderstand himself and ignore Qingyou's safety.

The emperor said angrily, "Queen, you are really too outrageous! Since entering the palace, Balin has been arrogant and respectful to you. As the queen, you can't teach her the rules properly, but instead let her be more daring!"

"Let's not talk about how noble Qingyou is. Even if Qingyou is a child from a commoner family, can Jingyu push him into the water and kill him just because she's angry?!"

"You and Balin said that all this was just a fight between children and it doesn't count. Then why don't you take the initiative to resolve this misunderstanding and apologize? Jingyu is a child and may not understand these things, but don't you and Balin understand these most simple principles?!"

"Whether it is Concubine Yu or the Prince of Khorchin, it is only natural for them to seek justice for themselves and their descendants. As the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, you not only fail to understand their feelings, but also criticize them. Queen, I think you are really cold-blooded!"

Ruyi has been in the palace as a concubine and queen for so many years, and there are only two people she truly regards as her rivals.

One was Empress Xiaoxian who stole her Prince Bao's wife, and the other was Concubine Ling who abandoned her childhood sweetheart and made her despise her.

Princess Hejing followed her mother's wishes and always had a problem with her, so Ruyi naturally regarded Princess Hejing as her rival.

Now that the Emperor was disrespecting her, the Empress Dowager, in front of his two mortal enemies, Princess Hejing and Concubine Ling, Ruyi was so angry that she really wanted to leave.

Rong Pei was beaten with fifty sticks by the emperor. During this period, she was recuperating in the Yikun Palace and had never served by Ruyi's side.

Sanbao and other young palace maids who follow Ruyi are not as loyal to Ruyi as Rong Pei.

Psychologically, she also felt that Ruyi handled the matter inappropriately. With the previous experience of Rong Pei as a lesson, she naturally did not dare to say anything for Ruyi when the emperor was angry. She just lowered her head.

Ruyi felt somewhat isolated and helpless at this time, and felt that Rong Pei was loyal to her master.

Ruyi defended herself, "Your Majesty and the Princess have misunderstood. It's not that I don't care about Qingyou, nor am I intentionally favoring Concubine Ying and Concubine Jing. It's just that I think good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. If the people knew that the royal family members killed each other, wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of the royal family?"

"I know that the princess and Qingyou have been wronged. Concubine Ying and Jingxuan did something wrong. I will tell them to apologize to the princess and Qingyou!"

Yan Wan chuckled, "I'm afraid that Concubine Ying will disappoint the Empress's kindness! Your Majesty, Empress. On the way to the Yangxin Palace, I saw Concubine Ying and the Sixth Princess playing around from afar."

"They were all talking and laughing, and it looked like they had no fear or guilt at all for accidentally pushing someone into the water."

Although Yan Wan did not deliberately point out what the two said, based on the emperor's understanding of Balin's mother and daughter, as well as their reputation in the palace.

The Emperor knew without sending anyone to inquire that Balin Meiruo must be proud of his distinguished family background. It didn't matter even if Jingxuan pushed the Emperor's grandson, the young prince of the Khorchin tribe, into the water!

It was also said that the Emperor was afraid of Mongolia and the Balin tribe, and did not dare to touch them mother and daughter at all!

The emperor said angrily, "I originally planned to severely punish Concubine Ying after this matter was over, and then find a new foster mother for Jingxuan. It seems that the Queen and Concubine Ying are unwilling to give me this opportunity!"

Yan Wan said, "Your Majesty, a child is like a blank sheet of paper. How their parents and elders teach them will determine how they grow up. The Sixth Princess is still young, and she was taught badly by Concubine Ying. This time, the Sixth Princess pushed Prince Qingyou into the water because of a momentary anger."

"Fortunately, Princess Hejing is the emperor's biological daughter, and she is a reasonable person who is willing to settle the matter peacefully. If the Sixth Princess clashes with foreign envoys at a banquet next time, wouldn't the whole world accuse the Qing Dynasty of bullying others by taking advantage of its power?!"

Princess Hejing echoed, "What Madam Ling said is absolutely right! It all comes down to the fact that King Bahrain did not teach his daughter well, which made Madam Ying feel that she was superior in every way, and finally caused such a disaster!"

"Father, we must not tolerate Empress Ying's temper. If this matter is not handled properly, it will chill the hearts of the Khorchin tribe!"

The emperor was startled, knowing that what Princess Yanwan and Princess Hejing said was not alarmist. Over the years, the emperor was fed up with Balin Meiruo's ignorant and unruly character.

The emperor immediately issued an order, "Li Yu, pass on my order. Balin Meiruo has taken advantage of his favor to be arrogant and domineering in the palace, causing chaos in the palace. If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. King Balin cannot escape the blame!"

"Tell Prince Khorchin to arrest the Bahrain King's clan on my behalf and elect a new leader to succeed the Bahrain King!"

Princess Hejing got the result she wanted and immediately knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Father, for your grace!"
