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

惢心 is injured and cannot serve Ruyi. During this period, Lingzhi takes over the duties of the head maid in Yikun Palace on behalf of 惢心.

Yanwan left, and Lingzhi came out to see her off. Yanwan smiled and said to Lingzhi, "This is Miss Lingzhi, right? I would like to congratulate you in advance."

Lingzhi asked in confusion: "Why should I be happy? What did your Highness congratulate me for?"

Yan Wan said, "The Emperor has already granted Aunt Suo Xin a marriage, so it won't be long before Aunt Suo Xin can leave the palace. As a result, the position of head maid in Yikun Palace is vacant, and Miss Lingzhi is the most experienced person in Yikun Palace, so shouldn't we congratulate her?"

Lingzhi had never thought of this before, and said hurriedly and anxiously: "I dare not have such delusion, I just want to serve the Imperial Concubine well."

Chunchan smiled and said, "How can you be delusional? Sister Lingzhi has enough experience, so why can't she be a head maid? Lancui and I were just rough maids in the Sizhiku before."

"The master, out of nostalgia for our past, not only transferred us to Yongshou Palace to serve, but also let Lan Cui and I take charge. Sister Lingzhi is much better than us, so of course the Imperial Concubine will use her."

Lingzhi is now second only to Suo Xin in Yikun Palace. Lingzhi had no idea before, but after Yan Wanchunchan mentioned this, Lingzhi felt that it was natural for her to become the next head maid of Yikun Palace.

Ruyi didn't know how to face this star-crossed couple, so she used the excuse of managing palace affairs to avoid meeting惢心 and Jiang Yubi.

When Jiang Yebi treated惢心 again, the look of despair on惢心's face was no longer there.

Ruoxin avoided the Yikun palace servants and whispered to Jiang Yubin, "Yubin, I have already asked for the grace of Concubine Ling to speak for us in front of the emperor. Don't worry."

Jiang Yubin was still trying to persuade惢心 to focus on healing first, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Jiang Yubin asked happily, "What? Concubine Ling is willing to help us?"

Then he asked in confusion, "The Imperial Concubine has never liked Concubine Ling. She always says that Concubine Ling is only good at seducing the master and currying favor with the powerful. She always mocks Concubine Ling openly or covertly. How could Concubine Ling help us?"

Suo Xin also had this doubt, but since she had been in contact with Concubine Ling for so long, she felt that Concubine Ling was not as bad as the Imperial Noble Concubine said.

惢心 said: "Maybe Concubine Ling is kindhearted? The master was able to lift the house arrest before, wasn't it because of Concubine Ling's help? I think the master must have misunderstood Concubine Ling."

"Don't think about why now, as long as Concubine Ling can really help us, that's enough!" Jiang Yubin felt that none of that mattered. The most important thing was to cancel the marriage between惢心 and Ling Yunche first.

That night, the emperor summoned Yanwan to sleep with him. Li Yu had never been so eager to have someone come to sleep with him in the Yangxin Palace.

Yan Wan looked at the eager expectation in Li Yu's eyes, and found it funny, but was also moved by Li Yu's infatuation with惢心. She gave Li Yu a look that told him to stay calm without leaving any trace.

Yan Wan deliberately brought the topic to Suo Xin's marriage, saying, "A few days ago, when the Emperor issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, I and the sisters in the palace went to Yikun Palace to visit Suo Xin, but I saw that Aunt Suo Xin didn't seem very happy."

The emperor was surprised and asked, "On the day when the decree was delivered, Jinbao came back and said that the Imperial Noble Consort and Suo Xin were very happy and accepted the decree very happily. Why would she be unhappy?"

Yan Wan asked, "Then I wonder which gentleman the Emperor intends to give Aunt Suo Xin to?"

"Ling Yunche, he is my imperial guard, more than qualified to match her. Does she still think that Ling Yunche's status is not enough?!" The emperor was a little unhappy.

"The person chosen by the emperor is naturally excellent, but, but I heard that..." Yan Wan hesitated.

The Emperor became curious and asked, "What is this? Could it be that the person in惢心's heart is not Ling Yunche?"

Yan Wan carefully observed the emperor's expression and answered cautiously, "That day, I felt strange and secretly inquired about it. It turns out that Aunt Suo Xin and Doctor Jiang are from the same hometown and have long been secretly in love and promised to spend their lives together."

"If the Imperial Concubine hadn't been reluctant to let go of Aunt Suo Xin, I'm afraid Aunt Suo Xin would have left the palace long ago and married Imperial Doctor Jiang!"

The emperor sat up and said unhappily, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't the Imperial Concubine explain it to me? And what does Ling Yunche always do in Yikun Palace?"

Yan Wan stood up and tried to comfort him, "It must be a misunderstanding. The Imperial Concubine was afraid that the Emperor would be angry, so she didn't mention it. Lord Ling, I'm afraid that the King of Xiang is interested but the goddess is not."

The emperor was dissatisfied and said, "Even if it was a misunderstanding, I am not an unreasonable person. What can't the imperial concubine say to me directly? Such a happy event has been turned into such a mess!"

Yan Wan suggested: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The Imperial Concubine just doesn't want to embarrass Your Majesty. But I think that since Your Majesty is willing to grant us the marriage, you should just be a good person to the end."

"I want to compensate Suo Xin, but the imperial edict has already been issued. If I change it, won't people think that I change my orders every day?!" the emperor said angrily.

"How could he change his mind overnight? Didn't the emperor make it clear who Suo Xin would marry? Everything is just speculation. Only what the emperor says counts." Yan Wan reminded.

The emperor suddenly realized what was going on and said with joy, "You are really smart. This shows that you have not wasted your time studying."

Yan Wan said coquettishly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! Since Your Majesty thinks what I said makes sense, then Your Majesty can be the old man under the moon and help them. I thank Your Majesty on their behalf!"

"You," the emperor tapped Yan Wan's nose and said with a smile, "Then you will pass on the order, so that no one will misunderstand it again."

"I obey your order! Aunt Suoxin and Imperial Doctor Jiang will definitely be very grateful to the Emperor!" Yan Wan said happily.

Li Yu, who was outside the door, had been paying attention to the movements inside. When he heard that Lingpin really helped惢心 and explained the reasons to the emperor on their behalf, he was very grateful for the emperor's promise.

Knowing that the Emperor was not unwilling to oblige her, she felt somewhat dissatisfied with the Imperial Noble Consort for not taking the risk to give advice to the Emperor.

The next day, Yanwan took the opportunity to pay respects to Ruyi and conveyed the imperial edict together with Li Yu.

"The Emperor has issued an oral order. The maidservant in charge of Yikun Palace, Suo Xin, has performed her duties faithfully. I hereby decree that Suo Xin be given to Jiang Yubin. The marriage will take place on the 15th of next month. I decree this!"

The other concubines already knew that the emperor had issued an imperial decree, so they were not surprised to hear Yan Wan say this.

When惢心 and Jiang Yubi learned that Yanwan had succeeded, they were so overjoyed that they knelt down to express their gratitude.

Ruyi was surprised to find out why the emperor changed the imperial edict again. She also didn't know why Yan Wan came to Yikun Palace to deliver the imperial edict. She had a hunch that Yan Wan had done something.

After the concubines left, Ruyi looked at惢心, who seemed to have come back to life from the dead, and couldn't help but ask, expressing her inner doubts.

"The Emperor clearly granted you and Ling Yunche a marriage, so how come it became Jiang Yubin? Or was it Concubine Ling who came to convey the decree? What is going on?"

Yan Wan had told her not to tell Ruyi about this, so she said ambiguously, "Perhaps the emperor feels that Lady Ling is not suitable again. Last night, Lady Ling was sleeping with him, so he asked her to pass on the decree."

"How could the emperor change his mind so easily? It must be Concubine Ling who is playing tricks!" Ruyi said.

"No matter whether it was Concubine Ling's trick or not, it finally helped me and Jiang Yubin to be together. I think the master should not pursue the matter, right?" said惢心.

Ruyi still felt something was wrong and said unhappily, "Lingpin has always been thoughtful. I don't think this is a coincidence. Even though you and Jiang Yubin have achieved a happy ending, don't be easily fooled by Lingpin!"

"She abandoned Ling Yunche for power. From this point of view, she is not a decent woman!"

惢心 lowered her head and said nothing. In the past, her master often belittled Concubine Ling in front of them, and at that time she thought her master was right.

But when the emperor arranged a match for her and ordered her to marry Ling Yunche, she realized that some things cannot be forced.

At this moment, Suo Xin understood from the bottom of her heart the choice Concubine Ling had made. She also felt that her master favored Ling Yunche and looked at Concubine Ling with tinted glasses.
