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

The emperor's southern tour had already set off, and not long after, Yu Hu found some clues.

Yu Hu reported: "Your Majesty, after I found out that Concubine Shu was pregnant, Doctor Qi went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. Later, I heard that Doctor Qi intended to retire and return home after Concubine Shu gave birth."

The emperor frowned and said, "Qi Ru is the imperial physician who serves me and the queen. Why did he go to see the queen mother? And why did he tell her that he wanted to retire and return home?"

Suddenly, the emperor remembered something and said to Yu Hu, "Oh, right, Imperial Noble Consort Huixian said before she died that Imperial Doctor Qi had been treating her for many years, but she got sicker. Qi Ru is a national expert, so this shouldn't happen."

Yu Hu also noticed this and reported to the emperor, "I checked the files of the Imperial Hospital and found that there was nothing wrong with Doctor Qi's prescription. The problem must be the amount of the medicinal materials."

The emperor said: "I have never issued such an order. How dare Qi Ru attack Imperial Noble Consort Huixian?!"

Yu Hu thought of something and guessed, "I remember that the father of Imperial Noble Consort Huixian, Lord Gao Bin Gao, once urged the eldest princess to marry far away. I'm afraid this is the reason."

The emperor was shocked and sneered, "A prescription and a medicine can get rid of my concubine without anyone noticing. Qi Ru was someone who served me, but it turns out that she was a chess piece planted by the Empress Dowager! What does the Empress Dowager want to do?!"

Yu Hu didn't dare to answer, and waited for a while before asking, "Your Majesty, Doctor Qi has confirmed that it is the Queen Mother's man. How will Your Majesty deal with it?"

The emperor suddenly felt murderous and said, "I dare not keep such a person around to serve me. Find someone to kill him!"

The emperor asked again, "How is the investigation of the abortion medicine going?"

Yu Hu said: "I have been visiting for so many days and finally found out something. It was Concubine Shu who stopped taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine herself, and no one told her the truth about the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

The emperor still didn't believe it and thought that even if the medication was stopped, there must be a reasonable source.

Yu Hu continued, "What Imperial Doctor Qi said is correct. Concubine Shu did not hold out much hope, so she did not drink the pregnancy medicine frequently. Sometimes, she only drank it once every few months."

"I went to check when Concubine Shu stopped taking the medicine. I heard from the palace maids in Chuxiu Palace that she had stopped taking the medicine for three or four years."

"I checked according to this time period and found that it was on the day of Empress Xiaoxian's wine-offering ceremony. The Empress saw Concubine Shu drinking medicine and reminded her that medicine is three-quarters poison!"

The emperor said in disbelief, "You said it was the queen who said that? Medicine is three-quarters poisonous. There is nothing harmful in Qi Ru's prescription. How could she say such a thing? Qi Ru is the queen mother's person. Could it be that the queen mother told the queen?"

Yu Hu added: "I don't think so. I checked with Doctor Qi and found that Doctor Qi had reported to the emperor that Chunchan from Yongshou Palace had spilled the medicinal materials."

"At that time, the Emperor was with the Empress and asked her to take a bath first. According to the servants at that time, the Empress had lost her pearl flower and went back alone to look for it."

The emperor remembered this detail and said unhappily, "That means the queen eavesdropped on the conversation between me and Qi Ru!"

Yu Hu hurriedly explained for Ruyi: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I think it was because the Empress was afraid that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine would harm Concubine Shu's body that she persuaded Concubine Shu."

The emperor naturally would not do anything to Ruyi just because of such a small matter, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

The emperor had originally planned to take Ruyi out of the palace in disguise for a trip, but now he was no longer in the mood.

Jinzhong secretly went to Yanwan's bedroom again, and happened to see Yanwan strolling in the garden, while Ling Yunche was patrolling with a team of guards.

Ling Yunche greeted and said, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty Concubine Ling!"

Yan Wan nodded slightly and prepared to leave without looking back.

Ling Yunche thought for a moment, asked the guards to wait for him in front, and said to Yan Wan: "Yan, no, Empress Ling Fei. I heard that Empress Ling Fei scolded Madam Wei and asked Master and An Da to teach Zuo Lu?"

"What does Lord Ling want to say?" Yan Wan didn't want to have anything to do with Ling Yunche anymore. She just wanted to know why Ling Yunche came and leave as soon as possible.

Ling Yunche said: "You and I know very well what kind of character they have. Although the emperor has given you the honor of carrying the banner, you can't support the Wei family with just Zuo Lu. Instead of making such a fuss, it's better to stay quiet."

Yan Wan didn't understand, what on earth did the original owner like about Ling Yunche? In the original book, the original owner lost her composure when she met Ling Yunche, and Ling Yunche ignored her.

Now, she had no good face towards Ling Yunche, and Ling Yunche always came up to her to talk when he saw her. Although the words were not pleasant to hear at all, could it be that this scumbag was really a cheap bone?

After hearing Ling Yunche's voice, Yan Wan understood. It was simply that Wei Yangshi and Zuo Lu looked down on the young Ling Yunche. They thought that Ling Yunche was just a cold palace guard with no ambition and no motivation, and they firmly opposed the original owner and Ling Yunche being together.

Now that Ling Yunche has risen to become a royal guard and a favorite of the current queen, he naturally feels proud.

I'm afraid Ling Yunche also saw it last time when Wei Yangshi and Zuo Lu went to the Yangxin Palace to express their gratitude.

Ling Yunche lived up to his name and rose rapidly to the top, while Wei Yangshi and Zuo Lu were still as greedy and snobbish as before.

Ling Yunche wanted to come to Yan Wan and say a few sarcastic words to dissuade her from reforming the two of them.

Yan Wan snorted coldly and said, "Lord Ling was able to jump from a small guard in the cold palace to become a guard in front of the Yangxin Palace. Can't my mother and brother work hard to improve themselves? Lord Ling, is this like the governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Ling Yunche was still thinking of what to say in response, but Yan Wan didn't want to say another word to him and turned and left.

Yanwan was interrupted from her flower-viewing trip in the garden, and went straight back to her dormitory. Jinzhong was already waiting for her there?

As soon as Yan Wan came back, Jin Zhong said sourly: "Who did your master meet in the garden? He talked for a long time but didn't come back, leaving me waiting for so long."

Yanwan was already in a bad mood, but Jinzhong was still jealous.

Yan Wan said angrily, "Eunuch Jinzhong is waiting impatiently, so let's go! One by one, do you all want to show me your displeasure?"

Jinzhong saw that Yanwan looked very unhappy and knew that he had made Lingzhu angry again, so he hurriedly coaxed her.

"It's all my fault, Master Ling, please don't be angry. I'm just angry on your behalf because that bastard Ling Yunche is always pestering you."

Yan Wan vented her anger at Jin Zhong and said, "Eunuch Jin Zhong also said that it was Ling Yun Che who was pestering me, so why don't you go and confront him? Why are you lecturing me here?"

Jinzhong knew that Yanwan was angry, and hurriedly said, "It's all my fault. I won't talk nonsense anymore. Let the master calm down."

Yan Wan knew that it was not easy for Jin Zhong to come here, so she did not bother to get angry anymore and asked, "Does the emperor know that the secret of the pregnancy-preserving medicine was leaked by the queen?"

Jinzhong said, "The Emperor had a long secret conversation with Aunt Yuhu today, and he looked unhappy when he came out. I guess he already knew."

"I'm glad to know. How is your master? Is he still working loyally for Yikun Palace?" Yan Wan asked again.

Jinzhong said: "Although he still works for the Queen, ever since Suo Xin was banned from entering the Yikun Palace, my master is no longer so supportive of the Queen."

Yan Wan sneered, "This is the beginning of the Queen's decline! By the way, how are my mother and Zuo Lu doing? Are they causing any trouble?"

Jinzhong replied, "I came here to tell you about this. I sent people to the Wei Mansion to keep an eye on them. I thought the old lady and Master Zuolu would cause trouble."

"But I didn't expect that they seemed to have changed their personalities. Although they are slow to learn, they have changed for the better. I will keep an eye on them for you, Master Ling, so don't worry."

Yan Wan felt relieved after hearing this, and ordered, "That's good, Jinzhong, help me do something."
