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

The emperor was furious. He rushed down and kicked Meipin, shouting, "You vicious woman, you actually dared to murder my legitimate son! I will cut you into pieces!"

The emperor's violent appearance frightened Yan Wan. Seeing that the emperor wanted to kick her a few more times, Yan Wan hurriedly stopped him, fearing that the weak Concubine Mei could not withstand it.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Meipin deserves to die, but this matter concerns the cause of death of the Seventh Prince and Empress Xiaoxian. I think it is better to find out the truth first and then deal with it!"

Meipin knew that she could not escape death, and continued, "After the death of the Seventh Prince, Empress Xiaoxian was extremely sad, and Princess Hejing was married to Mongolia and on a tour to the east. I accidentally heard that Empress Xiaoxian was in a very poor health and was only being kept alive by taking medicine."

"She took advantage of the time when the Emperor and then Concubine Xian were admiring the moon together, and smeared pine oil on the corridor where Empress Xiaoxian was returning to the Phoenix Boat, and deliberately discussed the epidemic in the palace with Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu. She used the words of karma to stimulate Empress Xiaoxian, causing her to fall into the water and die with hatred!"

The emperor was extremely angry. If Yan Wan hadn't stopped him, Meipin was afraid that she would have been beaten to death on the spot by the emperor!

The emperor pointed at Meipin and cursed, "You are also responsible for Empress Xiaoxian's death! You have served me for so many years, but I didn't know you were so capable that you dared to harm my queen and my son! Women are the most vicious, and I have seen it today!"

Meipin covered her chest and coughed while crying, "Ahem, I deserve to die. I shouldn't have believed Concubine Jia's words and killed Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince! Ahem, at that time, I only wanted to avenge my child. If Concubine Jia hadn't poisoned me today, I wouldn't have suspected that Concubine Jia had deceived me!"

The emperor refused to believe it, "Who knows you are not deliberately trying to get away with it by accusing Concubine Jia?"

Meipin said: "I know that the emperor hates me and refuses to believe a word I say, but what I said is the truth, please understand!"

Yan Wan finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please calm down! The poisoned food and the poisoned parrot are still in Yonghe Palace. Your Majesty can send the imperial physician to check. Your Majesty, since Meipin has already admitted to murdering Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince in front of you, there is no way she can survive."

"When a person is about to die, his words are good. There is no need for Concubine Mei to lie to the emperor again! I have never met Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian, but I heard from the old people in the palace that Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian may be unruly and willful, but she is not a vicious person. Maybe Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian was bewitched when she planned to harm Concubine Mei and her son?"

After hearing what Yan Wan said, Meipin said excitedly, "I have always been at odds with Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. She took advantage of the fact that she was pregnant with the dragon fetus and ignored me. Imperial Noble Consort couldn't do anything to me because of the child in my belly. How could she suddenly come up with such a brilliant method to harm me and my child? Someone must have given her advice!"

"On the day when Empress Xiaoxian's coffin was moved, didn't Concubine Jia spread the rumor that Empress Xiaoxian was the murderer of Imperial Noble Concubine Zhemin, causing the eldest prince to be disrespectful to Empress Xiaoxian, thus causing the emperor to be furious?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia is very familiar with this kind of vicious scheme, which shows that she is used to it! Your Majesty, I dare to swear to heaven that although I did these harmful things, I really did it because I listened to Concubine Jia's instigation and was blinded by false hatred! Please understand!"

The emperor believed that Concubine Jia had such means, but Concubine Jia was clearly someone close to Empress Xiaoxian in the past, so why would she do such a thing?

Yan Wan heard the emperor's doubts and said, "Empress Xiaoxian and Imperial Noble Consort Huixian have always trusted Consort Jia. They didn't expect Consort Jia to be such a person. You can't judge a person by his appearance! After Concubine Mei's child got into trouble, Concubine Jia immediately gave birth to the Fourth Prince. This is too coincidental!"

The emperor asked, "Concubine Ling, do you also believe what this vicious woman said?"

Yan Wan analyzed, "Your Majesty, I once served Empress Xiaoxian in Changchun Palace. From a cold observation, I felt that Su Lian listened to Concubine Jia in many things. In the eyes of everyone, Su Lian's actions represent Empress Xiaoxian's actions."

"I do not believe that Empress Xiaoxian would harm Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin or murder your Majesty's offspring. Your Majesty does not know that after Empress Xiaoxian passed away, Lianxin wanted to commit suicide for her master but was stopped by me."

"Lianxin is dissatisfied with Empress Xiaoxian because of Wang Qin's incident, but she said that Empress Xiaoxian would never do such a thing. Instead, she suspects that it was Concubine Jia who instigated Su Lian!"

The emperor and Ruyi had asked Lianxin the same question, so the emperor had no doubts about what Yanwan said. After carefully recalling Jiafei's past behavior, he felt that Meipin's accusation was not groundless.

The emperor suddenly thought of something and asked, "Meipin, you just said that Moxin had also looked for the Queen and Yupin, so the Queen and Yupin also knew that Moxin wanted to harm Yongcong?!"

Meipin nodded and said, "Yes!"

The emperor closed his eyes. It turned out that Yongcong’s death was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. It turned out that so many people, including Ruyi, knew that Yongcong was going to be killed by Mo Xin, but no one came to tell him and Empress Xiaoxian!

He and Empress Xiaoxian had to watch Yongcong die so pitifully and helplessly! How absurd!

The emperor suddenly felt very tired, and Yan Wan hurriedly supported the emperor and comforted him, saying: "Anger is harmful to the body, the emperor must take care of his health! Since the emperor already knows the strange deaths of Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince, and Meipin's children are really pitiful, the emperor must seek justice for them!"

The emperor said: "All this is just your speculation. How can I punish Concubine Jia without evidence?"

Yan Wan thought about it and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Su Lian did not die for her master, but was saved by me!"

"What did you say? Who is that female corpse?!" The emperor looked at Yan Wan in disbelief.

Yan Wan knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I have received great kindness from Empress Xiaoxian. I have long suspected that Empress Xiaoxian did not fall into the water accidentally. I wanted to send someone to ask Su Lian about it."

"Who knew that my people were a step too late, and just happened to see a man in black holding Su Lian down, trying to make it look like she had drowned. At that time, a drunk guard came out to relieve himself, and the man in black was afraid of being discovered, so he threw the unconscious Su Lian into the water, and only then did my people rescue Su Lian."

"I was afraid that the murderer would find out that Su Lian was still alive, so I asked someone to find a female corpse that looked similar to Su Lian and pretend to be Su Lian to deceive the world. Oh, by the way, Su Lian was holding a hydrangea in her hand!"

The emperor asked, "What about Su Lian? Can you find out who the murderer is?"

Yan Wan shook her head helplessly, "Su Lian was injured too badly and hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said that as long as she is treated carefully, Su Lian may wake up in a year or two!"

The emperor was moved. Yan Wan had only served in Changchun Palace for half a year, but she was loyal to Empress Xiaoxian. On the other hand, Concubine Jia, Concubine Mei and others dared to murder the empress and the legitimate son for their own selfish reasons!

Although Ruyi and Yupin were not involved, they knew about it but did not report it, which made the emperor very disappointed.

The emperor was in a state of confusion at the moment, and asked tiredly: "Ling Fei, what do you think I should do?"

Yan Wan said, "We can't deal with Concubine Jia without physical evidence, but the doctor said that Su Lian will wake up one day. Concubine Jia attacked Concubine Mei, which shows that she is guilty. We might as well stabilize her first, secretly investigate and find more evidence, and finally catch her off guard. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor patted Yan Wan on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for being so thoughtful. I'll leave this matter to you. As for Meipin..."

Yan Wan hurriedly said, "I know that Your Majesty feels sorry for the unjust deaths of the Seventh Prince and Empress Xiaoxian, and Meipin is indeed guilty of a thousand crimes, but now we need to lure the snake out of its hole, Your Majesty, please spare her life for now!"

The emperor had already made up his mind, and said to Meipin: "Your death is not a pity, but I want to seek justice for Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince, so I will spare your life. However, you have to do something for me first!"

Meipin only wants to live until the day when she can avenge her child, so she absolutely cannot die now.

Meipin looked at Yanwan gratefully, knelt on the ground and said, "At your command, Your Majesty!"
