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

Concubine Jia waited in Qixiang Palace for a long time, but did not hear any news from the palace servants about Concubine Mei's sudden death, so she knew that her plan had failed.

But she didn't know whether Meipin hadn't eaten at all, or had discovered her thoughts and wanted to take revenge on her in secret.

Concubine Jia knew that if Concubine Mei was not dead, she would go to see the emperor at night. Concubine Jia wanted to bribe the people in the Yangxin Palace to find out some information, but she got nothing.

For several days, there was nothing unusual in the palace. When I went to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, Concubine Mei was just like usual.

Concubine Jia felt relieved a little, thinking that Concubine Mei did not eat that day.

There was nothing unusual when the emperor summoned Concubine Mei, so Concubine Jia thought that the emperor was not suspicious about the deaths of Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince.

But Concubine Jia still didn't want to take any risks. She thought that after the storm died down, she would find another way to get rid of Concubine Mei and eliminate the trouble once and for all!

Within a few days, Concubine Mei suddenly went to the Ministry of Pharmacy and ordered Concubine Qing's Guben Zhiben Decoction.

However, after taking the medicine, Concubine Qing suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. The imperial physician was sent for a check and found that the medicine had been tampered with. Concubine Qing had taken too much and it was impossible for her to have children!

The palace servants soon found out that it was Concubine Mei who had done something, and she readily admitted it. The emperor was furious and directly ordered Concubine Mei to be executed. Her body was taken to a mass grave outside the palace and burned.

Although this incident happened suddenly, no one knew why Concubine Mei, who had always been on good terms with Concubine Qing, would have such a vicious thought.

But because of the loss of her child, Meipin's temperament became extremely strange, and no one would be too surprised by what she did.

Anyway, Concubine Mei is like a invisible person in the palace now, and she even helped other concubines get rid of a competitor. The other concubines are happy to see it happen.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was shocked and said, "Why would Concubine Mei attack Concubine Qing for no reason? Has she lost her mind?!"

Fujia was also puzzled. "I can't guess why either. I just heard that Meipin admitted her crime very readily, and the emperor directly sentenced her to death!"

"Although the emperor said that Concubine Mei died of an acute illness for the sake of his reputation, and buried her with the treatment of a concubine. But in fact, he just sent people to throw Concubine Mei's body into a mass grave and burn it. You can see how angry the emperor is!"

The Queen Mother said angrily, "It is not a pity that the vicious woman Meipin died, but I have only planted three people in the palace. It is not enough that she died, but I also dragged Qingpin into the water."

"Although Concubine Shu is favored and has the Tenth Prince, the Emperor is unwilling to let me raise the Tenth Prince myself. Isn't this still useless?!"

Fujia said, "This is strange, Queen Mother, should we investigate?"

Although the Queen Mother also found it strange, things had come to this point. What difference would it make even if she found out the truth?

The Queen Mother shook her head, "Forget it, there is no need to investigate. Concubine Mei and Concubine Qing are useless! In this case, I must raise the Tenth Prince!"

Fu Jia said: "But the emperor doesn't want to."

The Queen Mother stood up, and Fujia immediately stepped forward and went to Chuxiu Palace together.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Yihuan was teasing the Tenth Prince in the cradle. When she heard that the Queen Mother had arrived, her eyelids jumped, knowing that the Queen Mother had come with ill intentions.

He Xi supported Yi Huan and greeted her, "Your concubine pays respect to the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother ignored Yi Huan and looked at the sleeping Tenth Prince. "The Tenth Prince's health is gradually getting better. He is no longer as weak as when he was just born. It is clear that the predictions about celestial phenomena are not accurate!"

Yihuan's heart shuddered when the celestial phenomena were mentioned. She thought the Queen Mother had already found out that the celestial phenomena were planned by Yanwan and her.

This was her business, and she couldn't implicate Yan Wan. She was about to bear the Queen Mother's wrath alone.

The Queen Mother continued, "I came here today to make it clear to you, Concubine Shu, that you fell in love with the Emperor at first sight, and it was I who gave you the opportunity to serve the Emperor."

"For many years, you have been considerate of the emperor's wishes and have been unwilling to say a word or do a thing for me. I have never forced you to do anything. But now, I want to raise your tenth prince."

"I know you are reluctant to let him go, but as a mother, you should know how to plan for the child. You should be able to imagine the benefits of raising the Tenth Prince in my palace!"

"That's enough for today. Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick up the Tenth Prince and his wet nurse. If you miss the Tenth Prince, you can come to the Cining Palace to visit him! Fujia, let's go!"

After the Queen Mother said this, she left, leaving Zhu Huan stunned on the spot.

Yihuan's heart was broken. Could it be that she really couldn't change the fate of being separated from her family?

No, she would never accept her fate! She wanted to see the emperor!

After the emperor dealt with Concubine Mei, he sent people to keep an eye on the movements in the Cining Palace. Knowing that the empress dowager had gone to the Chuxiu Palace, he summoned Yihuan to sleep with him that night.

Upon seeing the emperor, Yihuan immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty! I beg you not to separate us! The Tenth Prince is still so young and cannot leave me. I can't bear to let him go to the Cining Palace!"

The emperor helped Yihuan up, "The Queen Mother wants to take the Tenth Prince away? Shu Fei, you get up first. I will go and talk to the Queen Mother."

Yi Huan cried, "Your Majesty, I have long known that the Queen Mother wanted to raise the Tenth Prince, and I don't want to keep pretending to be deaf and dumb. But today, the Queen Mother suddenly came, said those words, and left, without giving me a chance to speak."

"The Queen Mother has made it clear that she doesn't believe in the celestial phenomena. Your Majesty, I don't want anything. I just want to personally take care of our Tenth Prince and help him grow up! Your Majesty, please help me!"

Yihuan cried so hard that her heart was broken, and the emperor felt very sorry for her. The emperor was about to comfort Yihuan when he suddenly heard the words "theory of celestial phenomena" from Yihuan's mouth.

The emperor frowned and asked, "The theory of celestial phenomena? How do you know? Who told you?"

Yihuan's heart was entirely on the Tenth Prince at the moment, and she didn't react to what she had said.

Looking up at the emperor's slightly annoyed expression, Yihuan knew that she had said the wrong thing and became alert instantly.

When she was thinking of words to dispel the emperor's suspicion, she suddenly remembered what Ruyi had said. She secretly said sorry to Ruyi in her heart and said hurriedly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother saw that I was a little worried, so she told me about this. I thought that no matter whether the celestial phenomenon was true or false, it would not be good for the reputation of the Queen Mother and the Tenth Prince, so I did not tell the Emperor about it."

Ruyi? Ruyi again!

The emperor was furious. He had repeatedly ordered that the story of the celestial phenomenon should not be spread. However, Ruyi, as the queen, openly went against him!

The emperor was upset at the moment, and felt more and more that the empress dowager was openly against him!

It seems that the Empress Dowager did not learn any lesson from the incident with Concubine Mei, but instead became even worse. It's really hateful!

The emperor said, "Shu Fei, the Queen Mother is pressing me hard. For the sake of the Queen Mother and the Tenth Prince's reputation, I cannot make the astronomical phenomenon public."

"How about this, you and the Queen Mother each take a step back, and when the Tenth Prince turns one, you will send him to Xiefang Palace. I allow you to visit him often."

Yihuan was stunned and wanted to plead for mercy again, but suddenly he felt that sending her to Xiefang Palace was much better than sending her to Cining Palace.

Yi Huan thanked the emperor, "Your Majesty, I and the Tenth Prince thank you for your grace!"

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed the teacup.

Fujia consoled her, "Queen Dowager, please calm down. The Emperor is just afraid of the celestial phenomena."

"How can we trust all the celestial phenomena? I..." The Queen Mother was about to get angry, but suddenly she understood.

"A celestial phenomenon? Concubine Mei suddenly poisoned Concubine Qing. Could it be that the Emperor realized that they were planted by me? If so, no wonder the Emperor refused to let me raise the Tenth Prince!"
