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

The emperor soon found out that the assassin was indeed from the Bahrain tribe.

After all members of the Balin King's family were arrested by the Prince of the Khorchin tribe, he risked his life to send this warrior of the Balin tribe to the capital to find Balin Meiruo.

Although King Bahrain had spoiled Bahrain Meiruo since childhood, he was not as ignorant and arrogant as Bahrain Meiruo.

He asked this warrior from the Balin tribe to find Balin Meiruo, just to let Balin Meiruo know how much disaster his willfulness had brought to the Balin tribe.

He wanted Balin Meiruo to beg the emperor for mercy on behalf of the Balin tribe, asking the emperor to give the Balin tribe another chance to reform in consideration of their past loyalty and the fact that Balin Meiruo gave birth to the sixth princess Jingxuan for the emperor.

Who knew that the King of Bahrain found this warrior from the Bahrain tribe, who was one of the best in the tribe in terms of skills, but not very smart.

Balin Meiruo was demoted to a concubine, and without the emperor's favor, she was not qualified to accompany Mulan Paddock.

The warrior finally found a way to pass the news to the palace. Balin Meiruo did not think she had done anything wrong and resented the Khorchin tribe for writing a letter to deprive her and her father of all the honors they had.

So he ordered this warrior to assassinate the emperor's most outstanding and most valued prince, and put the blame on the Khorchin tribe.

If the emperor knew about the evil deeds of the Khorchin tribe, he would definitely think that the Khorchin tribe had deliberately framed the Balin tribe. Then the emperor would restore all the honors of the father and daughter.

Balin Meiruo's original intention was to let this warrior pretend to assassinate Yongqi, but he didn't expect that this warrior had heard that the emperor valued the legitimate son the most, so he set his sights on the twelfth prince.

After the truth was revealed, the emperor ordered the assassin to be executed after he confessed. He would settle accounts with Balin Meiruo after returning to the palace.

After Ruyi and Hai Lan returned to the tent, the imperial physician had already prescribed a tranquilizing decoction for the Twelfth Prince and served him to drink it. The Twelfth Prince, who had been quite frightened, had already fallen asleep.

Ruyi helped the twelfth prince cover himself with a blanket, full of worry and guilt, "Yongji said he was sleepy and wanted to rest. If I had asked Yongji to be patient, or asked the emperor to send guards to escort us back, this wouldn't have happened!"

"The imperial physician said that Yongqi was a little frightened, which led to the fever. Yongqi is such a young child, but he has to endure such a fright. This palace is really distressed to see it!"

Hai Lan comforted him, "Don't worry, sister. The imperial physician said that Yongji only has a fever and will recover after taking a few doses of medicine. The assassin has been caught, and Yongji will no longer be in danger. Don't worry, sister."

Ruyi felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. "It was so dangerous just now. It was really thanks to Ling Yunche. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of injuries I and Yongqi would have suffered! Ling Yunche was injured. I wonder how serious his injury is. Is it serious?"

Hailan still felt a little scared when she thought about what happened just now. Hailan knew that she shouldn't say such things to Ruyi, but she was really a little scared.

Hai Lan said worriedly, "Ling Yunche didn't suffer any serious injuries. With the imperial physician's treatment, there's nothing to worry about. Sister, I just saw Ling Yunche risking his life to save you. I was really scared!"

Ruyi knew what Hailan meant, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Hailan, you think too much. Ling Yunche was a guard in front of the emperor, and Yongqi was assassinated. As a minister, he should risk his life to save Yongqi and me!"

Hai Lan nodded, but still worriedly wanted to warn Ruyi a few words, "Sister, what you said makes sense. However, even though Ling Yunche is your savior, you should not have too close contact with Ling Yunche, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion."

"Sister, we have been at loggerheads with Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu for a long time. Sister, you can't let Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu use her as leverage to cause trouble because of Ling Yunche!"

Hai Lan's words sounded harsh to Ruyi, as if there was some unclear relationship between her and Ling Yunche.

Ruyi looked at Hailan and said unhappily, "Hailan, what are you talking about? The only man I can rely on in my life is the emperor. As for others, what else can I think? Hailan, I understand what you mean, you can rest assured!"

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi's unhappy expression, hoping that Ruyi really took her words to heart.

Hailan changed the subject and said, "Sister, which tribe does this assassin belong to?"

Ruyi said, "The assassin kept saying that he was from the Khorchin tribe and that he wanted to kill Yongqi in revenge for Crown Prince Qingyou. This sounds reasonable. But the Emperor and Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu both sided with the Khorchin tribe. They didn't even care that Yongqi was still in the assassin's hands and played this guessing identity game with the assassin in public!"

"When the assassin kidnapped Yongji, the emperor was only concerned with protecting Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu. Otherwise, why would I personally save Yongji? If Ling Yunche hadn't stepped forward to help me block the assassin's knife regardless of his own life, I'm afraid that Yongji and I would really be in danger!"

When Hai Lan thought about today's situation, she felt heartbroken for Ruyi and the Twelfth Prince.

Tonight, the emperor summoned Yan Wan to sleep with him. As the emperor lay on the bed, his mind kept recalling the scene of Ruyi and Ling Yunche holding hands.

Seeing that the emperor tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, Yan Wan knew that the emperor was unhappy and was probably suspicious of the relationship between Ruyi and Ling Yunche.

Yan Wan asked with concern, "Why isn't the emperor asleep yet? Are you worried about the Empress and the 12th Prince? Today, the Empress and the 12th Prince have suffered this unprovoked disaster for no reason. The Emperor should go and see the Empress and the 12th Prince."

The emperor was thinking about something, and when Yan Wan asked, he blurted out: "Yan Wan, have you seen the queen and Ling..."

The emperor suddenly realized that saying this would hurt his reputation, so he stopped talking.

Yan Wan knew what the emperor wanted to ask, and also knew what he was worried about.

"The Empress and the Twelfth Prince were frightened today. It's not too late yet. If Your Majesty is worried, why not go to the Empress's tent to take a look. The Twelfth Prince cried like that today. I feel distressed when I see him. How much more so Your Majesty? If the Twelfth Prince had the Royal Father to accompany him, he would definitely be able to sleep well. Your Majesty, go and take a look!"

Yongqi is his son after all. Shouldn’t the emperor feel sorry for him?

The emperor was indeed worried, and after being persuaded by Yan Wan, he immediately got up and changed his clothes.

"I'm going to go see the Queen and Yongji. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."

Yan Wan also stood up and helped the emperor get dressed. She said to Li Yu outside the tent, "Eunuch Li Yu, the emperor is going to the queen's tent. You must serve him carefully."
