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

On the day when the late empress's coffin was moved, everyone in the palace wore mourning clothes and knelt in front of the late empress's mourning hall, crying as they listened to the "Ode to Sorrow" written by the emperor himself.

Since the death of the late queen, the emperor has been very sad and held a memorial ceremony for her with the most solemn etiquette. Everyone thinks that the emperor did not cherish the late queen when she was alive, but missed her so much after her death just for show, and did not pay much attention to the funeral ceremony of the late queen.

Only Yan Wan felt that, in addition to the emperor wanting to use this grand funeral ceremony to discipline the officials, the emperor also broke free from the constraints of the plot to clear the name of his beloved wife!

The mourning hall of the late empress was filled with concubines, ladies of state, princes and princesses kneeling. The emperor finished reading "Sad Fu" with a sorrowful expression and was unable to control his grief.

Looking back, he saw that all the concubines were crying with their heads down, except the eldest prince Yonghuang and the third prince Yongzhang, who were kneeling upright on the ground with firm eyes and no trace of sadness on their faces, and not a single tear fell.

The emperor remembered the servants' report and asked, "Today is the day when the late empress's coffin is moved. Everyone is crying for the late empress, but why are you not sad at all?"

After listening to Concubine Jia's instigative words, the eldest prince Yonghuang believed that Empress Xiaoxian was the real murderer who killed Imperial Noble Concubine Zhemin. He already hated Empress Xiaoxian to the core. How could he feel sad and shed a tear for her?

Yonghuang replied, "I still have to take care of the funeral rites for the Emperor's mother, so I dare not be too sad, lest I mess things up."

When the third prince Yongzhang saw that the emperor really showed admiration for his eldest brother Yonghuang, he quickly followed the eldest prince and said, "Father, my eldest brother always said that as the eldest son, he should set an example and share more of the burden for you. I think what you said makes sense, and I hope I can share the burden for you."

"Since the death of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has been drowning in grief and unable to extricate himself. I feel very distressed. I thought that if I could stay calm during the funeral, I could do something for the Emperor."

When Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia saw that the eldest and third princes had fallen into their trap, they laughed inwardly. Let's see how proud Concubine Chun can be this time!

Yanwan and Yihuan knelt together behind Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia, wiping their tears and quietly moving away to avoid being implicated.

Yan Wan thought to herself, "Alas, with this IQ, you're still trying to imitate others in competing for the position of Queen or heir? Go home early and practice for a few more years! I just wonder who will benefit after today?"

Concubine Chun was kneeling in the front, and for some reason she felt uneasy at the moment. Just as she was about to say something on behalf of Yongzhang, the Emperor started to get angry.

The emperor had long known that Yonghuang and Yongzhang had taken advantage of Empress Xiaoxian's funeral to win over court officials, and he also knew about Concubine Chun's recent behavior.

The emperor was very angry, but the funeral was not yet over. He did not want to delay Empress Xiaoxian's funeral because of other things, so he let them make a fuss for the time being.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince Yonghuang and the third prince Yongzhang behaved like this in front of Empress Xiaoxian's mourning hall, which made the emperor furious.

The emperor laughed in anger, took a step forward, slapped Yonghuang and Yongzhang in the face, and cursed, "Unfilial sons! Empress Xiaoxian is your biological mother, and you are not sad or heartbroken, and you dare to say that you are sharing my worries? How could I have such unfaithful and unfilial sons like you!"

The emperor was angry, and everyone was frightened and knelt on the ground, begging the emperor to calm down.

When Concubine Chun saw that Yongzhang and Yonghuang not only did not receive any special treatment from the emperor, but were also beaten and scolded by him in public, she didn't know what went wrong and hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Yonghuang and Yongzhang just wanted to do their job well. They didn't mean to make Your Majesty angry. Please understand!"

The emperor asked, "Noble Concubine Chun, you already have Yongzhang and Yongrong. I gave Yonghuang to you to raise. Are you going to raise such an unfaithful and unfilial son for me?!"

It was the first time that Ruyi saw the emperor so angry. She also pleaded for them for Empress Xiaoxian, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Yonghuang and the others are not being unfilial. They are doing this for your sake. Please take care of yourself."

Yan Wan sneered in her heart. Are you being unfilial? Is this a plea for Concubine Chun and her two children, or is it to add fuel to the fire?

As expected, the emperor became even angrier after hearing this, pointing at the eldest prince and scolding him, "Wuxin is already so disobedient and unfilial, if he had a heart, he would have killed the emperor and seized the throne!"

"Yonghuang always regards himself as the eldest son, setting an example for his brothers and sharing my worries. Yongzhang also competes with Yonghuang in everything. If you really care about me and want to share my worries, how could you not understand my sadness after Empress Xiaoxian passed away?!"

"You are disrespecting my mother, Empress Xiaoxian, under the guise of helping me to relieve my worries! You are even plotting something shady and taking this opportunity to covet the position of Crown Prince!"

Yonghuang quickly stood up and defended himself, saying, "I have absolutely no such intention. I hope your Majesty will understand!"

The emperor sneered, slapped Yonghuang again, and cursed: "How dare you say you don't have such intentions?! Haven't you relied on your status as the eldest son to covet the position of crown prince during this period of time?! Yongzhang also tried to please the relatives everywhere."

"Empress Xiaoxian is your biological mother. You are so indifferent and yet you still dare to say that you are helping me to relieve my worries! Concubine Chun, is this the good son you raised for me?"

The emperor was furious, and Concubine Chun didn't know what to do. For the sake of her son, she could only blame all the mistakes on Yonghuang.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Even if Yonghuang has such an idea, Yongzhang definitely does not have such a heart! Your Majesty, Yongzhang is still a child, he is only fourteen years old, what can he know? Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Yonghuang felt a chill in his heart. Was Concubine Chun going to abandon him just like that?

"I asked you and Concubine Xian to take care of the funeral ceremonies for Empress Xiaoxian. You have been in charge of everything in the palace. But look at what stupid things your son has done? It is because of a ridiculous mother like you that you have raised such a child who has no filial piety!"

"Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. I tell you clearly that Yonghuang's words are wild and rebellious, and Yongzhang has no thought of being a son at all! Such a heartless and ungrateful rebellious son will never be able to inherit my throne!" the emperor declared.

Everyone was shocked and pressed their heads to the ground, fearing that the furious emperor would vent his anger on them.

Concubine Chun, her son and her two children were shocked. They did not expect this result. Concubine Chun could not accept this fact and fainted.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia did not expect to have such a gain, and they were secretly happy.

The emperor said with a look of disdain: "Why don't you take Concubine Chun away quickly, so that she won't be embarrassed here!"

The emperor thought about what his servants had reported to him. Since these people did not want to complete the funeral rites in peace, he would punish these people with ulterior motives in front of Empress Xiaoxian's mourning hall!
