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

Yan Wan helped the emperor to stand up Princess Hejing and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move is brilliant! Letting the Khorchin tribe deal with the Balin tribe personally can not only punish Ying Fei's maternal clan, but also let the Khorchin tribe vent their grievances. The Khorchin tribe will be even more grateful for your kindness in the future."

Ruyi listened in a daze as the emperor followed the wishes of Princess Yanwan and Princess Hejing and dealt with the Balin clan.

By doing this, isn't the emperor cutting off another arm of hers in the palace?

Ruyi immediately pleaded for Balin Meiruo, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Ying did something wrong, you should punish her with a small punishment. Isn't this too much? Will it make other Mongolian tribes feel disheartened?"

The emperor was displeased and said, "What do you mean by too much? I and Jingse gave Concubine Ying so many opportunities to correct her mistakes. Did they cherish them? Since you can punish her lightly and warn her severely, why don't you lift Concubine Yu's house arrest now? Ruyi, you are the queen, you cannot be unfair in your actions!"

Princess Hejing said, "You are worrying too much, the other Mongolian tribes have not done anything wrong, why are you afraid that the emperor will punish the Balin tribe? If you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Yan Wan nodded and said, "Princess, you are right. The Khorchin tribe is the largest tribe in Mongolia and the leader of the forty-nine tribes! Over the past hundred years, it has had countless marriages with the Qing Dynasty. If the sons and grandsons of the Khorchin tribe were humiliated in the palace, the emperor would remain indifferent. This is what makes the other Mongolian tribes worried!"

"The emperor ordered the Khorchin tribe to personally deal with the Balin tribe. This will not only eliminate the Khorchin tribe's resentment, but also demonstrate the emperor's kindness. The Mongolian tribes will only be more grateful!"

The emperor continued, "Concubine Yu is innocent. Jinzhong, you go and issue an edict to remove Concubine Yu's Jinzhong, and then have the Ministry of Internal Affairs send some things over. Concubine Ying disobeyed the palace rules and committed treason. She will be stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine! A concubine is not qualified to raise a princess. Send the Sixth Princess to Xiefang Palace!"

The emperor originally wanted to let the sixth princess Jingxuan be raised by other concubines or the dowager, but considering that Jingxuan was famous and was already ten years old, he was afraid that no concubine in the palace would be willing to take on this hot potato, so he simply sent her to Xiefang Palace.

Ruyi wanted to say something else, "Your Majesty, it's fine if Concubine Ying is punished. But I personally ordered Concubine Yu to be confined. Your Majesty has lifted her confinement and wants to reward her. Isn't this another slap in my face?!"

Princess Hejing said, "It's understandable that Empress Yu couldn't take care of four princesses at once because she was alone. If Empress Yu and her sisters hadn't cried for help, Qingyou wouldn't have been safe. I don't think Empress Yu deserved this!"

Yan Wan also spoke for E Yinzhu, "Concubine Yu has been in the palace for many years and has never done anything wrong. Although Jingyu and Jingyun were also frightened when Prince Qingyou fell into the water, it is not Concubine Yu's fault after all. On the contrary, Concubine Yu was trying to help me take care of the two princesses, and this unexpected disaster happened. I really feel sorry for it."

The emperor said angrily, "I have already said that Concubine Yu is innocent. What's the problem with letting her go? Since she has done nothing wrong, why can't I reward her with something to compensate her?"

"Okay, I'm tired, you all go down first! Since you are on good terms with Concubine Yu, you can go and pass on the imperial edict, which will just relieve your guilt."

Yan Wan said happily: "Yes, I will obey your order. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"

After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Princess Hejing looked at Ruyi arrogantly, then walked out of the palace in a haughty manner.

Ruyi looked at Yanwan beside her and asked, "Did you do this? How could you be so vicious?!"

Yan Wan was happy. "If the Empress had handled this matter impartially, if Concubine Ying, no, Concubine Ying and her daughter had shown some remorse and pretended to be sorry. If the Empress had not been so cruel and made Concubine Yu the scapegoat, how could things have developed to this point?"

"God is watching what we do. Does the Empress really think that Ying Changzai and her daughter are wronged? I still have to do the work that the Emperor has asked me to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

Ruyi was furious. There were fewer and fewer people around her, which made her feel more and more anxious.

I'm afraid that if this continues, Concubine Ling will one day surpass her, the Queen, and become the uncrowned queen in the Forbidden City!

No, Ruyi must not allow this to happen!

Yan Wan released E Yinzhu from her confinement, "Concubine Yu, you are free now. The emperor said that you were wronged, and these are all compensations for you."

E Yinzhu thanked her joyfully and said to Yan Wan, "I know that if it weren't for the help of Concubine Ling, I don't know how long I would have been confined by the Queen. Concubine Ling's great kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart!"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "I didn't help much. I just asked Jing Yu and Jing Yun to tell the truth in front of the emperor and Princess He Jing, and then helped you pass a letter. Princess He Jing only has this precious son, Prince Qing You. How could she watch Prince Qing You being bullied by them like this? The Balin family deserved this fate."

E Yinzhu said: "I know that Concubine Ling is a humble person, and I will remember this kindness. I originally thought that the Queen just disliked me, but I never thought that she would have such a vicious mind! I will never let this matter go!"

Yan Wan reminded, "I know you are resentful, but everyone in the palace knows that you have a feud, so you should be more cautious. Don't act rashly if you are not absolutely sure, so as not to fall into someone else's trap!"

E Yinzhu knew that Yan Wan was doing this for her own good and nodded in agreement.

Balin Meiruo was playing with her daughter Jingxuan when she saw Jinzhong descending from the sky. He announced the imperial decree to demote him to a concubine and send Jingxuan to Xiefang Palace.

Upon hearing this news, Balin Meiruo was struck by lightning. She hugged Jingxuan tightly and shouted, "Impossible! The Queen said that I am innocent. How could the Emperor punish me?!"

"I am from the most powerful Balin tribe in Mongolia. Your Majesty, if you punish me, aren't you afraid that the 49 Mongolian tribes behind me will be disappointed? If that happens, your throne will be unstable! This is not true. You must be a dog slave who forged the imperial edict! I know that you have always been close to Concubine Ling. You are Concubine Ling's running dog!"

Jinzhong was not annoyed. He looked at the struggling Balin Meiruo and laughed, "Balin tribe? Yingchang, you may not know yet, but the emperor has issued an order to the prince of the Khorchin tribe, asking him to lead troops to arrest King Balin. I think it won't be long before the throne of the Balin tribe will be taken by someone else!"

"In this way, with Ying Chang behind you, we will no longer be the most powerful tribe in Mongolia."

Balin Meiruo was stunned, then shook his head frantically, "You lied to me? You, a dog slave, can't fool me! Our Balin tribe is the most powerful tribe in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor has to give us some concessions. How could he abolish my father's throne?!"

"It must be that bitch, Concubine Ling, and Concubine Yu who framed us, it must be! Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty! Don't stop me, I want to see Your Majesty! Jingxuan, Jingxuan is my daughter, you are not allowed to send her to Xiefang Palace!"

Jinzhong looked at Balin Meiruo's crazy appearance and sneered, "Not only can you not see the emperor, you are not qualified to live in this main palace! Ying Changzai, if you miss your parents and relatives, and want your Sixth Princess to be well, then just be at peace! Come, send the Sixth Princess to Xiefang Palace!"
