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

"Let me escort the Imperial Concubine back to Yikun Palace, okay?" Ling Yunche walked over and said.

Ruyi declined, saying, "You are currently on duty at the Yangxin Palace. I can return by myself. There is no need for you, Lord Ling, to see me off."

Ling Yunche felt that Ruyi's face looked a little bad. It must be because she was disturbed by the rumors during this period. Ling Yunche insisted: "It's okay. The Imperial Concubine doesn't look very good. I'd better send the Queen back to Yikun Palace."

Ruyi trusted Ling Yunche with all her heart and said to him, "Jia Fei, for the sake of the position of Queen, Noble Lady Bu Jia falsely accused me of having an affair with Master An Ji, causing Suo Xin to break one of her legs. I feel very sad that I cannot seek justice for Suo Xin."

"Now that Concubine Jia has been demoted and the culprit Zhenshu has been sent back to the Yu family, I'm sure she won't cause any trouble in the future. Your Majesty can rest assured." Ling Yunche comforted.

Ruyi shook her head and said, "I am not worried about Concubine Jia's conspiracy, but I feel sorry for the suffering of惢心. I have never cared about the position of Queen, I only care about whether the Emperor truly trusts me. Now it seems that this wish is difficult to realize."

Seeing Ruyi's sad look, Ling Yunche felt very upset. Ling Yunche didn't understand why a woman like the Imperial Concubine who truly loved the Emperor couldn't get the Emperor's full trust?

Ling Yunche felt that it was unfair for the Imperial Concubine and secretly vowed to protect her on behalf of the Emperor and not let her suffer any injustice or disaster again!

Concubine Jia had a miscarriage and gave birth to a dead baby after returning to Qixiang Palace. The emperor heard about it and could not bear to punish Prince Yu any more. He only fined him three years of grace and sent him back to Yu.

The Ninth Prince died immediately after birth, and Concubine Jia was heartbroken. Upon hearing that Prince Yu was only punished by the Emperor for three years of grace, Concubine Jia ran to the palace gate to meet Prince Yu despite her weak body after giving birth.

But Prince Yu only told her to serve the emperor well and left without looking back.

Concubine Jia felt that as long as she could make a comeback, she would meet the prince again one day, so she returned to the palace to cheer herself up.

Jinzhong told Yanwan all these things. Yanwan sneered speechlessly and said, "As a concubine, how can you go to see a foreign man in such a disheveled state? Doesn't anyone think it's inappropriate?"

"Who knows? No one has reported to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. My Lord, do you think I should add fuel to the fire and vent my anger for you?" Jinzhong said.

"No rush. I am still counting on Concubine Jia to cause trouble for the Imperial Noble Concubine in the future. Jinzhong, has the Imperial Noble Concubine asked the Emperor for a marriage?" Yan Wan asked.

"She did, but before she could say who she was going to marry, she was interrupted by a servant. The imperial concubine kept arguing with the emperor, and the emperor was a little dissatisfied, so he just left."

"I followed the master's instructions and brought Ling Yunche. Today, Ling Yunche even specially sent the Imperial Concubine back to the palace. He is really attentive." Jinzhong said.

Yan Wan said: "Then you should mention it more often in front of the emperor."

Jinzhong carefully observed Yanwan's expression and asked tentatively, "Why does your master always mention Ling Yunche? Are you trying to ask the emperor to grant them a marriage?"

Yan Wan could hear the jealousy hidden in Jin Zhong's tone and felt speechless. She explained, "Although Suo Xin's leg is broken, is Ling Yun Che worthy of such a loyal girl like Shang Liang? In my opinion, Ling Yun Che is just like the Prince of the Yu family, neither of them is worthy of trust."

"I asked you to mention Ling Yunche more often in front of the emperor, but you can't ask the emperor to grant them marriage by name. This way, I can act as the matchmaker. Tell me, if I ask for the imperial decree to grant marriage for惢心 and Jiang Yubin, will they and your master be grateful to me?"

Jinzhong finally understood what Yanwan was up to, and his jealousy gradually faded away. He could only praise his master for being smart. Jinzhong smiled and said, "Sure enough, your master is smart, but why would the Imperial Concubine allow you to be this good person?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "That depends on your ability, Eunuch Jin Zhong."

"Just wait and see, my Lord!" Jinzhong said with a smile.

When Jinzhong returned to the Yangxin Palace, Ling Yunche had not returned yet. The emperor saw that there was one less guard on duty outside the door and asked, "Li Yu, why is there one less person at the door?"

Li Yu went out to take a look, and came back to report: "Your Majesty, it's Lord Ling."

"Where did he go? Did he switch shifts with someone else?" asked the emperor.

Li Yu's heart was all on惢心. He wished he could be like Jiang Yubi and run to Yikun Palace all day long under the pretext of checking the imperial concubine's pulse.

He was distracted beside the Emperor and naturally had no intention of paying attention to where Ling Yunche had gone. As he was hesitating, Jinzhong hurriedly came to his rescue.

"Your Majesty, when I was out on business, I happened to see Lord Ling escorting the Imperial Concubine back to Yikun Palace. It's time for him to return. Does Your Majesty want to summon Lord Ling?"

"As a guard of the Yangxin Palace, how could he leave his post again and again? When Ling Yunche comes back, Li Yu, you go and tell him to be careful." said the emperor.

Li Yu was worried about惢心. Ling Yunche came back just in time. Li Yu hurried out and took the opportunity to pass on a message to Ling Yunche to inquire about惢心's current situation.

Ling Yunche's worried expression could be vaguely seen through the palace door. The emperor asked, "It has been two hours since the Imperial Concubine left. The Yikun Palace is not far from the Yangxin Palace. Why did she take so long to walk? Who is he worried about?"

Jinzhong replied, "Everyone in Yikun Palace is worried about Aunt Suoxin. Imperial Doctor Jiang is serving in Yikun Palace every day. I think Lord Ling is grateful for Aunt Suoxin's loyalty and went to visit her."

"This time,惢心 has indeed suffered an unexpected disaster. The Imperial Concubine once asked me to arrange a marriage for惢心. Jinzhong, what do you think of Ling Yunche?" asked the emperor.

Ling Yunche is a hopeless case. Whoever marries him will be unlucky! Jin Zhong complained in his heart, but said, "Lord Ling is a guard in front of the emperor, so he naturally has a bright future. If the emperor grants a marriage between Lord Ling and Aunt惢心, it must be a match made in heaven! But Lang Youqing doesn't know if Aunt惢心 is interested. Why don't you ask the Imperial Noble Consort what she thinks first?"

"Okay, then I will arrange a marriage for惢心 first, and you let Li Yu go and find out what the Imperial Concubine thinks." The emperor agreed.

Soon, an imperial decree came from the palace. The emperor personally granted marriage to the maid in charge of Yikun Palace, Suo Xin! Suo Xin and others thought that it was Ruyi who asked for the marriage, and they were very happy to accept the decree. After Jin Bao went back to report, Li Yu took advantage of the night to quietly come to Yikun Palace and said anxiously.

"Wrong, wrong! Jinzhong told me that the emperor did not grant a marriage between Doctor Jiang and Suo Xin, but between Suo Xin and Ling Yunche!"

Ruyi and the others were all stunned. They didn't understand what this matter had to do with Ling Yunche. They asked in a daze, "What Ling Yunche, what are you talking about?"

Li Yu also had a look of disbelief on his face, and said anxiously and angrily: "Just now Jinzhong told me that the emperor saw Lord Ling always going to Yikun Palace, and thought that Lord Ling had a crush on Suo Xin. He also remembered that the Imperial Concubine had asked for a marriage for Suo Xin, so he wanted to grant a marriage for them!"

"Fortunately, Jinzhong was smart and asked me to ask the Imperial Concubine what she thought first. Jinzhong asked me, but before I could reply to the Emperor, Jinbao came back and said that you have already received the Emperor's order and expressed your gratitude. Now, the Emperor must have thought that Suo Xin and Lord Ling were in love!"

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, now only you can explain the situation to the Emperor. Please ask the Emperor to withdraw the imperial edict!"

When惢心 and Jiang Yubi heard the bad news, they were stunned. After listening to Li Yu's words, they could only place their last hope on Ruyi and knelt down to pray to Ruyi.

Ruyi did not expect this mistake to happen, and immediately agreed to their request. She planned to wait for the emperor to finish his morning court tomorrow and then ask him to issue another imperial decree to grant marriage to惢心 and Jiang Yubin.
