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

E Yinzhu immediately sent someone to the Ling Mansion to tell Mao Qian a message, and told Mao Qian the rumors circulating in the palace about Ruyi and Ling Yunche, adding fuel to the fire.

When Mao Qian heard that Ling Yunche was in Mulan Paddock, she risked her life to block the knife for Ruyi and made such an ambiguous and bold move in public.

It was immediately understood that the person in Ling Yunche's dream was the current Queen Ulanara Ruyi!

Mao Qian was so angry that she trembled all over after learning the truth. She cursed in her heart, "How dare you, Ling Yunche, to have the guts to covet the Empress!"

As soon as the visitor stated his purpose, Mao Qian turned around and walked to Ling Yunche's study, picked up Ling Yunche's extremely precious box, and resolutely entered the palace.

E Yinzhu handed the person over to Han Xiangjian. Han Xiangjian said to Mao Qian: "Lord Ling has saved the Queen's life many times. Similarly, the Queen has also helped Lord Ling many times."

"Now the rumors about the two of them in the palace are really outrageous, so I would like to ask you to come and explain to the emperor to prove their innocence.

Mao Qian asked, "Isn't Ling Yunche just a small guard? How could he be valued so highly by the Empress? Your Majesty, are you exaggerating?"

Han Xiangjian said, "What I said is the truth. Madam Ling, don't you know that Lord Ling was wrongly accused of theft and was demoted to the Old Summer Palace as a low-ranking guard. Was it because of the Empress' recommendation that he returned to the Yangxin Palace to serve?"

It was because Ling Yunche saved the Fifth Prince and his two companions who were trapped in a fire when he was working in the Old Summer Palace.

In order to reward Ling Yunche, the emperor not only restored his position as the imperial guard in the Yangxin Palace, but also arranged a marriage for him and himself.

Han Xiang saw this and said casually: "But now that I think about it, the fire was really strange."

Mao Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad guess in her mind. She asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, did the Queen personally ask for a reward for Ling Yunche?"

Han Xiangjian shook her head. "I heard that the Empress, Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui, and Concubine Yu were all there that day. Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui was focused on the three princes, and it was Concubine Yu who handled the aftermath and reminded Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui to reward Lord Ling well."

Although Mao Qian lived outside the palace, she had a certain understanding of the palace and naturally knew that Concubine Yu was loyal to the Empress.

Concubine Yu specifically reminded Imperial Noble Concubine Chunhui to ask for a reward for Ling Yunche, which was naturally the Empress's intention.

Mao Qian is now very sure that the person in Ling Yunche's heart is the Queen.

Mao Qian had been kept in the dark for so many years and had been ignored by Ling Yunche for so many years, and her heart was filled with anger.

Now that the affair between Ling Yunche and Ruyi has been exposed, Maoqian has decided to seek justice for herself and will never look back even if it means she is doomed to failure!

Looking at Mao Qian's resentful expression, Han Xiang knew that Mao Qian must have evidence that Ling Yunche and Ruyi were having an affair, so her goal would be achieved.

Yan Wan came to the Yangxin Palace in the afternoon to pay her respects to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

The emperor lay on the couch leisurely and said to Yan Wan, "You're here?"

Yan Wan couldn't tell whether the emperor was sad or happy, so she knelt on the ground and apologized.

"I know why the emperor wants to see me. I dare not lie to the emperor. Guard Ling and I are from the same hometown. When I was young, Guard Ling took care of me several times. If others say that we are childhood sweethearts, I dare not refute it."

"Later, I distanced myself from you out of consideration for our respective reputations, and we haven't had any contact for many years. I really don't know why such a rumor suddenly spread in the palace. I ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name!"

The emperor remained calm, "You dare to say it so bluntly in front of me. In your opinion, how should I deal with Ling Yunche?"

Yan Wan knew that the emperor was testing her, so she knelt upright and spoke frankly to the emperor's gaze.

"I am the emperor's concubine. I cannot allow others to tarnish my innocence and damage the emperor's reputation! If I can kill him to prove my innocence, I am willing to do so!"

The emperor could not see any concern for Ling Yunche in Yan Wan's eyes, and he smiled and said to Yan Wan.

"You dare to say it to me, which shows that you are honest in your heart. Sit down, I called you here to quell the rumors in the harem."

Yan Wan nodded in agreement, "I understand. I am devoted to taking care of Yonglin. If my sisters hadn't mentioned it accidentally in Yongshou Palace, I wouldn't have known about it."

"Although I don't know what happened, it is still damaging to the reputation of the royal family. Even if the emperor doesn't summon me today, I will come to the Yangxin Palace to apologize!"

The emperor said, "Of course I believe you, but if I don't summon you to question me, it will be difficult for me to give an explanation to the people in the harem. Well, let's end this matter here."

The emperor believed in Yan Wan in his heart and was very pleased with her attitude. He felt that Yan Wan was worthy of being cultivated by him and Empress Xiaoxian.

In contrast, Ruyi's indifferent attitude made the emperor very dissatisfied.

At this time, Han Xiangjian, E Yinzhu and Mao Qian came to the Yangxin Palace to ask to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to ask you to do!"

Li Yu came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong are here with Guard Ling's wife to ask to see Your Majesty."

Han Xiangjian had always been indifferent to the emperor, but this was the first time she took the initiative to come to the Yangxin Palace to see him. And she was with E Yinzhu, which the emperor found very novel.

"Xiang Jian? Why are they here together? And they brought Mao Qian with them?"

Yan Wan guessed, "Maybe it's about the Empress. Does the Emperor want to see her?"

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked Li Yu to bring the three of them in.

The three of them greeted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I pay my respects to your Highness, Concubine Ling!"

The emperor asked, "How did you get together? What is it that you must see me about?"

E Yinzhu first distanced herself from the matter, "I was only asked by Concubine Rong to help invite Madam Ling to the palace. Your Majesty should ask Concubine Rong."

Han Xiangjian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the rumors in the palace have been spreading for so long, and they are getting more and more intense. They are bound to damage the reputation of Your Majesty and the Queen."

"I am under the care of the Queen, and I cannot bear to see her caught up in the rumors, so I took the initiative to ask Concubine Yu for help and ask Madam Ling to come to the palace to prove the Queen's innocence!"

This incident even alarmed Han Xiangjian, who was indifferent to worldly affairs, but Ruyi remained indifferent.

The emperor didn't want too many people to interfere in this matter, and was about to let Han Xiangjian return to Baoyue Tower.

Mao Qian suddenly reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have heard a lot of rumors in the palace about Ling Yunche and the Queen."

"The reason why I came to the palace to see the emperor today is to report that they have a secret relationship. I hope the emperor will investigate it!"
