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

Hai Lan had never been subjected to such a punishment before. She cursed in pain, "Jinzhong, you are the lackey of the Imperial Concubine Ling. You used such a vicious scheme to frame me and the Empress. You must not die a good death!"

Jinzhong looked down at Hailan and sneered, "It has come to this point. It's hard for you to still be loyal to the Ulanara family. It's a pity that the Ulanara family doesn't even consider you a sister!"

"If you hadn't gossiped in front of Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui, how could she have sent Lingzhu'er to the flower room to suffer? If Ulanara hadn't deliberately worn Yaohuang Peony's clothes to provoke Empress Xiaoxian, how could Jin have had the opportunity to torture Lingzhu'er?"

"Just a few words from you and Ulanara caused the innocent Lingzhu to live a life worse than death for seven years! Isn't your behavior vicious?!"

Hai Lan endured the severe pain and retorted: "If Imperial Concubine Ling didn't covet fame and wealth and didn't betray Ling Yunche, how could the Queen and I look down on her?"

"We were outclassed and defeated by Imperial Concubine Ling, but she must never try to alienate the relationship between me and my sister!"

Jinzhong seemed to have heard something ridiculous, "Estrangement? Do we need to alienate you? You don't know yet, after you confessed your crime that night, Ulanara was afraid that you would implicate her, so she hurriedly denied it in front of the emperor and pushed all the blame onto you!"

"After being imprisoned in Yikun Palace, she never mentioned you a word. In order to get out of Yikun Palace, she even wrote to the emperor every day, saying that all this was planned by you and she just trusted you wrongly!"

"I know you won't believe it. Look, I brought all the letters. You and the Unalana sisters are so close, you must be able to tell the authenticity of the handwriting, right?"

After saying that, Jinzhong unfolded the letter and showed it to Hailan.

Hai Lan looked at the familiar Madam Wei's hairpin and didn't believe it at first. After all, Jin of Qixiang Palace had asked Zhenshu to forge Ruyi's handwriting in order to frame Ruyi for having an affair with Master Anji.

But the fact is just as Jinzhong said, Hailan worships Ruyi like a god and knows everything about Ruyi.

After so many years, I can tell the real from the fake at a glance.

In the letter, Ruyi cleared herself of all charges, saying that she had listened to Hailan's instigation and conspired with her to deceive the Empress Dowager and Princess Hejing to capture Imperial Noble Consort Ling.

She also said that she had a good relationship with Imperial Noble Consort Ling before, but it was Hai Lan who always said that Imperial Noble Consort Ling looked like her and that she was a bad person, which made her full of prejudice against Imperial Noble Consort Ling.

Hailan looked at the letter in disbelief and shouted, "No, this is not true! You must have forged this to trick me! I don't believe it, I won't fall for your trick!"

Jinzhong smiled indifferently and said, "You know whether it is true or not. I told you this just because I don't want you to be a fool."

Hai Lan felt that something was falling apart deep in her heart. As she read the letter, she thought about what she had done for Ruyi in her life.

Hailan only felt ironic and thought that all her persistence in her life was a huge joke!

Only then did Hai Lan understand why Yong Qi wanted to distance himself from Ruyi, but it was too late!

Hai Lan cried out in grief and indignation, "Sister, no, Unalana Ruyi, I have devoted my life to you, and you treat me like this! You have betrayed my loyalty, and you deserve this fate!"

"Hahaha, Yongqi, mother was wrong! So wrong! Ulanara Ruyi, I'll be waiting for you in the underworld! Imperial Noble Consort, you won, and you won beautifully. Hailan admires you very much!"

Hai Lan completely collapsed, but not long after, her bones and flesh were broken from the beating. She ended her life in regret, grief and curses on Ruyi.

Jinzhong looked at Hailan's body coldly and said, "Originally, because of Keliyete's crimes, she should have been thrown into a mass grave. But you gave birth to a good son. For the sake of Prince Rong, the emperor will grant you a burial place!"

……

Since that night, the emperor sealed the Yikun Palace again, and the palace maids who originally served Ruyi were dismissed, leaving only Rong Pei and Sanbao.

Ruyi could not accept such an outcome and wrote to the emperor every day, hoping that he would give her another chance to prove herself.

After Hailan was beaten to death, Jinzhong sent someone to tell Ruyi. Ruyi was stunned for a moment when she heard the news of Hailan's death, and then said nonchalantly.

"Hai, Keliyete Hailan deserved this fate! I did the wrong thing because of her instigation. Please, please present this letter to the emperor!"

The man took the letter as usual, "Writing to the Emperor again? What if the Emperor reads it? Are you still expecting the Emperor to reinstate you as Empress? Your Imperial Concubine is the head of the harem, will she agree?"

Although Ruyi didn't want to admit it, the facts were there and she was no match for Imperial Noble Consort Ling.

Ruyi felt that Imperial Noble Consort Ling hated her to the core. Now that Hai Lan had been killed by Imperial Noble Consort Ling, she might be the next one!

The more Ruyi thought about it, the more frightened she became. Suddenly, she thought of a risky idea and told Rong Pei and Sanbao.

"I have been demoted to a commoner. I am afraid that the Imperial Concubine will soon take action against me! If I want to survive, I can only take a risk!"

San Bao asked, "We are now in the Yikun Palace, crying out to heaven and earth for help, what else can we do? Your Highness has messed up things and offended the Queen Mother and Princess Hejing. Even if the news can be spread, who in the palace, besides Concubine Rong, will speak well of Your Highness?"

Sanbao's words reminded Ruyi, "Rongpin? Yes, there is also Rongpin!"

Rong Pei asked, "What does your Majesty plan to do?"

Ruyi said, "Noble Consort Ling will never let me go. Rather than being killed by Noble Consort Ling, I would rather risk my life! I will find a way to ask the Emperor to let me see Noble Consort Ling."

"Noble Consort Ling has successfully deposed me from my position as queen. When she sees me again, she will definitely reveal her true nature and humiliate me. If I die after she leaves Yikun Palace, then the Emperor will definitely think that Noble Consort Ling killed me. Only then will my grievances be redressed!"

Rong Pei was shocked when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Ruyi said, “I will also ask Rongpin to come to Yikun Palace for a talk. When she sees that I am not feeling well, she will definitely ask the imperial physician to treat me. This way, Rongpin can not only testify for me, but also save my life. In order to get out of Yikun Palace, I must do this!”

Since his leg was broken, Sanbao has become taciturn. When he heard Ruyi's plan, Sanbao did not show any reaction. He only said, "Your Majesty is wise. I know what to do!"

When Rong Pei saw how calm Ruyi was when she heard the news of Hai Lan's death, she couldn't help but feel a sense of grief.

But over the years, Rong Pei has made enemies everywhere in the palace, and she is afraid that she will have no place to stay outside the Yikun Palace.

For her own future, she can only be tied tightly to Ruyi.

Rong Pei also said: "I will obey your majesty!"
