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

"It's been so long, and you still haven't found any useful information?"

Ruyi tried every trick in the book and used all her connections, and Ling Yunche seemed to have disappeared from this world, and no one knew where he had gone.

"Not yet. Sanbao went to ask Li Yu, but couldn't get anything out of him. I heard that Jinzhong has been serving the emperor more recently, but Jinzhong has always been loyal to Yongshou Palace, so don't even think about getting anything out of him."

Rong Pei was beaten with eighty sticks by the emperor and had to lie in bed for more than a month before her injuries healed a little.

Now Rong Pei has been demoted by the emperor to a menial maid. Although Ruyi had already spread the word in Yikun Palace, there are many people in the palace who are dissatisfied with Rong Pei.

Seeing that Rong Pei was hated by the emperor and Ruyi had already lost the emperor's favor, the palace people naturally no longer had any fear of Rong Pei.

When Rong Pei was recuperating from her injuries, she could clearly feel the neglect of others. She only had Ruyi as her backer in the palace.

In order to regain his status in Yikun Palace, as soon as he was able to walk, he couldn't wait to force himself to serve Ruyi.

There was no news from Ling Yunche, and Ruyi was very worried. However, she could not go to ask the emperor directly, so she could only worry alone in Yikun Palace.

Rong Pei said, "Your Majesty, the ladies from the other palaces are coming to Yikun Palace to pay their respects. I will help you wash and dress first."

"I, my concubine, meet the Queen!"

Ruyi asked all the concubines to sit down. Looking at Yanwan who was sitting below her, Ruyi really wanted to ask her if she knew the whereabouts of Ling Yunche.

I really want to ask Yan Wan if she feels any guilt for harming Ling Yunche to this extent.

When Yanwan heard Ruyi's thoughts, she rolled her eyes secretly, before she had time to complain about Ruyi in her heart.

E Yinzhu looked at Rong Pei, who was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up straight, and forced herself to stand beside Ruyi, sweating profusely, and smiled.

"I remember that day when the Emperor gave Rong Pei eighty strokes of the cane. I thought Rong Pei was old and would need at least three to five months to recover from her injuries. But I didn't expect that Rong Pei was born as a maid in the Old Summer Palace, so her body is stronger than that of ordinary maids."

In her early years, Lipin had suffered inhuman humiliation and torture from Rong Pei, and had long hated Rong Pei and the people in Yikun Palace.

Unfortunately, Rong Pei is the aunt in charge of Yikun Palace, and has Ruyi's support behind her. Although she is a concubine, she has to swallow her anger on a daily basis.

Now, Rong Pei completely offended the emperor, and Ruyi fell out of favor. With the Eyinzhu as a precedent, Lipin would naturally not miss this good opportunity to add insult to injury.

Lipin smiled and said, "What Concubine Yu said is right, but in my opinion, this is also a manifestation of Aunt Rongpei's loyalty to the Queen. Aunt Rongpei was so seriously injured, but she still did not forget to serve the Queen. I am really envious of her."

"I remember that Rong Pei is no longer the head aunt of Yikun Palace. I wonder who the Queen has assigned to supervise the maids and eunuchs of Yikun Palace?"

When Rong Pei heard these words, she immediately used her identity as the head maid of Yikun Palace to teach these unruly concubines a lesson on behalf of the Empress.

But before he could utter the words of rebuke, his old wounds were involved, and the pain brought Rong Pei back to her senses.

Thinking of her current identity and situation in the palace, Rong Pei had no choice but to swallow her anger.

Hai Lan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said, "This is something the Queen should worry about. Lipin, are you overstepping your authority?!"

Lipin's current position is higher than Hailan's. She is not afraid of Hailan and directly said, "The palace has not received any news about the new head maid of Yikun Palace. I am worried that the maids of Yikun Palace will not be able to serve the queen well, so I asked this question."

"I know that Concubine Yu is loyal to the Empress. Does that mean Concubine Yu doesn't allow anyone else in the palace to care about the Empress except herself? Concubine Yu is too overbearing!"

Hai Lan knew that Concubine Li still held a grudge against her over the deer blood wine incident, so she deliberately said these words in front of Ruyi and the other concubines.

Ruyi said, "I appreciate Lipin's kindness. Lipin has been in the palace for more than ten years. How come she hasn't given birth to a child for the emperor? Instead of worrying about me and Concubine Yu, Lipin should take care of her body!"

Lipin, Han Xiangjian, Eyinzhu and others have been in the palace for many years but have not yet conceived a dragon descendant. When Ruyi said this, their faces changed.

Yan Wan tried to smooth things over, saying, "I was also over 30 when I had my seventh princess, so my sisters are still young and don't need to worry. However, Concubine Yu and Concubine Li's concerns are not without reason."

"Rong Pei is guilty and injured. Even if the Queen loves her and wants her to stay by her side, she cannot entrust her with important tasks."

"Since the Empress is not satisfied with the people in Yikun Palace, I will immediately order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a capable head maid for Yikun Palace."

Ruyi immediately frowned and coldly refused, "No need, I am used to the people in Yikun Palace. Concubine Ling is now in charge of the palace affairs and has to take care of several princes and princesses. She is very busy, so there is no need to worry about the affairs of Yikun Palace!"

Could it be that Ruyi thought she would take this opportunity to place people in Yikun Palace?

Rong Pei has offended everyone over the years, and those working in Yikun Palace have suffered the most. Why does she need to place people in her place? These people alone are enough to cause you a lot of trouble!

Yan Wan said: "Thank you for your consideration, Queen. If you have any requests, just tell me."

Ruyi felt that the daily greetings from the concubines were no longer a reflection of her majesty as the queen, but had become a form of torture.

Ruyi didn't want to see so many annoying faces hanging around in front of her every day when she opened her eyes. She didn't want to listen to their words that seemed caring and respectful but were actually boastful and sarcastic.

Ruyi said, "Since Noble Concubine Ling is concerned about palace affairs, you don't have to come to Yikun Palace to pay respects from tomorrow!"

The concubines looked at each other in surprise, and Ruyi was already preparing to drive them away.

Just at this time, Jinzhong came with a group of eunuchs, holding something to convey the emperor's order.

Jinzhong greeted her and said, "Your servant greets the Empress! I greet Consort Ling and Consort Shu! I greet all the ladies!"

"Empress, the Emperor ordered me to bring you something. Please take a look..."

Jinzhong mentioned the names of the treasures that the emperor had bestowed upon him. The concubines were wondering when the emperor and the empress would reconcile again.

Why did he start rewarding them right in front of them? Did he think that they had been disrespectful to the Queen recently and was deliberately trying to stop them?

Just when Ruyi and Hai Lan were confused, and Concubine Yu, Lipin and others were worried.

Jinzhong continued, "Does the Empress like it? The Emperor felt that there were not enough people to serve the Empress in the Yikun Palace, so he specially asked me to send two palace maids and eunuchs."

"Xiao Lingzi, what are you doing? Why don't you come and see the Queen? Raise your head quickly and let the Queen see what you look like!"
