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

As soon as this statement came out, everyone had different expressions.

The emperor looked angry and said nothing. Yan Wan looked at him in surprise.

E'yinzhu looked surprised but secretly happy inside. Han Xiangjian pretended to be surprised and puzzled, deliberately leading Maoqian to tell the truth.

"Madam Ling, how dare you speak nonsense in front of the Emperor? Lord Ling has saved the Empress' life many times. Have you also been deceived by the rumors in the palace?!"

Although Mao Qian had no feelings for Ling Yunche, Ling Yunche rarely spoke to her when he returned home.

But sometimes Ling Yunche would invite some colleagues to drink at his home, and they would inevitably talk about things that happened in the palace during the meal.

Mao Qian had heard about all the crazy things the emperor did for Han Xiangjian, so she naturally knew that Han Xiangjian was on the queen's side after becoming a concubine.

Mao Qian glanced at Han Xiangjian, who seemed a little puzzled, and said to the emperor sternly, "I am not talking nonsense. I have evidence!"

E Yinzhu said at the right time: "Your Majesty, my original intention was to let Madam Ling come forward to quell the rumors in the harem and clear the name of the Empress. That's why I agreed to the request of Concubine Rong and sent someone to bring Madam Ling to the palace to meet Your Majesty."

"Now that Madam Ling has said so, Your Majesty, I believe that a thorough investigation is necessary to give Your Majesty and everyone in the harem an explanation!"

Han Xiangjian also said, "Your Majesty, I believe that there is nothing wrong between the Empress and Lord Ling. Since this matter has become so chaotic, I think it would be better to ask the Empress to come and explain the misunderstanding in public!"

This was no small matter. The emperor hesitated and asked Yan Wan, "Yan Wan, what do you think?"

Yan Wan said, "Your Majesty, everyone in the palace knows about this rumor now. Just leaving it alone is not the solution. If we allow this rumor to spread outside the palace, wouldn't the people of the world think that the palace is a dirty and filthy place? This will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of Your Majesty and the royal family!"

"I thought that since it was a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be better for you to clear it up with the emperor in person like I did? The emperor is also thinking about the reputation of the queen, and I believe the queen will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. If this is really a misunderstanding, I, Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong will explain the situation to everyone in the harem and completely put an end to the rumors!"

E Yinzhu and Han Xiangjian echoed, "I think what your Royal Concubine said is absolutely right!"

The emperor thought what Yan Wan said made sense, and he also found a suitable reason for questioning Ruyi, so he said to Li Yu: "Li Yu, tell the queen and Ling Yunche to come to the Yangxin Palace for questioning."

Li Yu agreed, asked Jinzhong to serve in front of the emperor, asked Jinbao to find Ling Yunche in the guard room, and went to Yiku Palace in person to invite Ruyi to the Yangxin Palace.

When they arrived at the Yikun Palace, Ruyi was admiring the snowy scenery. Li Yu said, "Empress, the Emperor asks you to go to the Yangxin Palace."

Ever since Balin Meiruo was banished to the cold palace, the emperor has not set foot in the Yikun Palace for several months. Why did he suddenly order me to go to the Yangxin Palace?

Ruyi asked, "Did the emperor tell me what he wanted to see me about?"

Over the years, Li Yu was no longer as loyal to Ruyi as he used to be, but the rumor that Ruyi and Ling Yunche were having an affair was too big a rumor.

There was no deep hatred between Li Yu and Ruyi, and Li Yu had no intention of killing Ruyi. When Ruyi asked, Li Yu kindly reminded her.

"To answer the Queen, it's because of the rumors about you and Lord Ling that spread in the palace. Today, Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong wanted to prove your innocence, so they took the initiative to bring Madam Ling from outside the palace to see the Emperor. Who would have thought that Madam Ling would accuse you and Lord Ling of having an affair in front of the Emperor!"

"This matter is of great importance, and concerns the reputation of the Emperor and the Empress, so the Emperor has sent a servant to ask you for questioning!"

Ruyi frowned, "Maoqian? Maoqian and I have no grudges against each other, why did she falsely accuse me? You said it was Concubine Yu who brought the person into the palace, why did Concubine Yu go to find Maoqian for no reason?"

Li Yu said: "I don't know about this. The emperor is still waiting for you in the Yangxin Palace. Your Majesty, please go to the Yangxin Palace first!"

Rong Pei supported Ruyi and asked, "Empress Yu is Empress Ling's person. This must be Empress Ling's doing! Empress Empress's matter is not good for you. Should I ask Empress Yu to accompany you to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor?"

Ruyi nodded, and Rong Pei asked Sanbao to go to the Yanx Palace to report the news.

When Hai Lan found out, she immediately rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

After Jinbao's notification, Ling Yunche also rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! What is it that the Majesty wants to ask me?"

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable and said to Ruyi: "I just have some questions to ask you, please sit down."

When Yan Wan and the others saw Ruyi and Hai Lan coming in the snow, they greeted her and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen!"

Hai Lan also bowed and said, "I greet the Imperial Concubine Ling and the Imperial Concubine Yu!"

When Ruyi saw Yanwan, she felt that all this was planned by Yanwan. She cursed Ling Yunche in her heart, saying that she had known Ling Yunche since childhood, but how could Ling Yunche be so cruel?

At this time, Ling Yunche also came in, knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine Ling! Your Majesty, it is because I did not discipline her properly that I allowed Mao Qian to enter the palace without permission and startled your majesty. I deserve to die. I will take Mao Qian back now!"

E Yinzhu immediately stopped him and said, "How dare you! The emperor sent you here because he wanted to ask you something, but you took the initiative to leave. Do you think this is your Ling Mansion? Do you take the emperor seriously?"

Ling Yunche immediately pleaded guilty, "I have no such intention, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Mao Qian saw Ling Yunche coming into the Yangxin Palace, and without saying anything, he immediately pinned the crime on her and wanted to take her home for discipline. This was clearly a guilty conscience!

Mao Qian snorted coldly, "How many times have you come home in a year? How many words have you said to me after you came home? You said you didn't discipline me well, and you didn't even want to see me. How can you discipline me well?!"

Ling Yunche didn't want to make a big fuss and implicate Ruyi, so he reprimanded Maoqian in public, "Have you had enough of making a fuss? This is the imperial palace, not a place for you to be unreasonable! If you have anything to say, go home and say it, don't taint the ears of the emperor and the ladies!"

Mao Qian got angry when she heard this and yelled, "Go home and talk? Do you still think Ling Mansion is your home? You and I have been married for so many years, have you ever stayed at home properly for a few days? All day long, you either sleep in the guards' quarters in the palace, or come back to sleep in your study when you get drunk."

"Do you treat me as your wife, as the mistress of your home? Now you remember that you still have a family and remember that you should discipline me, your wife?"

Yan Wan said unhappily, "You two have been arguing endlessly in front of the Emperor, which shows that you are not on good terms with each other!"

Mao Qian said sadly: "What the imperial concubine said is true. My husband's heart is not with me, but another woman. I have been alone in my empty room for many years. How can I not feel resentful?!"
