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

After the emperor left the palace, Ruyi felt unwell. With her experience of being pregnant with the twelfth prince, Ruyi immediately summoned Jiang Yubin to take her pulse, and found that she was pregnant again.

Ruyi was more confident. On the one hand, she sent people to continue teaching Li Changzai the "rules" in her palace. On the other hand, she carefully checked whether there were any mistakes or omissions in the palace affairs handled by Yanwan.

Ruyi was pregnant and had little energy, so she called Concubine Yu to check on her, but after a long time, there was no result.

"This Concubine Ling is so shrewd and calculating that I can't even find a single flaw!"

Yupin also said, "In order to climb up the social ladder, Concubine Ling did not hesitate to abandon her childhood sweetheart. Now in order to better control the power of the assistant manager, she will definitely use any means. Concubine Ling is very scheming. Sister, I think we can't just focus on these accounts."

Ruyi said, "Hai Lan, do you have any good ideas? Please sit down."

Yupin sat down and said, "Sister, that day Concubine Ling and Concubine Jia were in Yikun Palace to speak up for Li Changzai. Now that the emperor is not in the palace and sister is pregnant, it is a good time to punish them!"

"I heard from Rong Pei that Li Changzai is still restless. In that case, sister might as well give Li Changzai a severe punishment. If Concubine Ling talks back to you again in order to plead for Li Changzai, sister can deprive Concubine Ling of her power for the crime of disrespect!"

Ruyi said, "Concubine Ling has always been very smart. What if she knew about our plan in advance and stood aside and watched?"

Yupin sneered, "This is even better. This means that Concubine Ling is not speaking for Concubine Li at all. This will let everyone in the harem know Concubine Ling's true face. From now on, no one will be deceived by her and go against my sister!"

Ruyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this and ordered, "Rong Pei, order Li Changzai and several others to be punished by being hung on a board, and have all the palace maids and eunuchs in the six palaces go to watch the punishment!"

When the news reached Yongshou Palace, Chunchan hurriedly reported to Yanwan, "My dear, the Queen Mother has punished Li Changzai with several punishments of being hung on the board. Someone from Yikun Palace has come and said that all the servants in the palaces should go and watch the punishment!"

Lan Cui sent away the Yikun palace servant who came to deliver the message, and walked in and said, "My Lord, this punishment of standing on the board is really too insulting, and she even let the six palaces watch the punishment. How can the Queen do this?!"

Yan Wan quickly figured out what Ruyi was up to and sneered, "She just feels that I broke her empress's rules that day in Yikun Palace, and she's taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is not in the palace and she's pregnant with a dragon fetus."

"They just want to take advantage of the opportunity to punish and humiliate Li Changzai and others to seize my power to handle palace affairs. This plan of killing two birds with one stone must have been suggested by Concubine Yu to the Queen!"

When Chunchan Lancui heard that this matter was directed at them, she became a little worried, "Master, how should we deal with it? Just ignore it?"

Yan Wan said indifferently: "The Queen and Concubine Yu have set the stage for us, so why shouldn't we go and perform? The power to handle palace affairs sounds good, but in fact it is just a trivial matter, which is far from the power to assist in managing the six palaces. This palace does not even care about this power."

"The Queen and Concubine Yu need to establish their authority in the palace, and I also need to win the hearts of the people in the palace. Let's see who has the better skills! Let's go and take a look."

By the time Chunchan and Lancui arrived with Yanwan, Rongpei had been taking Li Changzai and several others to execute the sentence for a long time.

Li Chang was seen with the four people, taking off her pearl hairpins, letting her hair down, wearing only an inner garment, facing the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the execution, bending over and stretching out her arms to reach her toes, not allowed to bend her body or move around.

When Yan Wan arrived, Concubine Chun, Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu and others had already arrived. When they saw Concubine Li and others being punished, they all looked at each other in surprise.

Yi Huan said, "Sister Yan Wan is here. Isn't the Queen's punishment a bit too severe?"

Rong Pei was standing on the steps, personally supervising the execution. When she heard someone whispering below, she felt that the punishment was too severe. She immediately spoke loudly.

"This servant greets all the ladies! Li Changzai and the others have been causing troubles since they entered the palace, but they have refused to change despite repeated warnings. In order to rectify the palace discipline, the Empress has punished Li Changzai and the others with the punishment of standing on the board! Today, I specially invite all the ladies here to let Li Changzai and the others learn a lesson and not to make the same mistake again!"

How could the concubines not know that the Queen was making an example of someone?

Rong Pei remembered her second mission here. When she saw Yan Wan coming, she said nothing. She thought Yan Wan was just going to watch from the sidelines. How could she do that?

Rong Pei held a ruler in her hand and kept hitting Li Chang and several others on the body, humiliating them in public.

"Keep your arms straight and don't bend your body, otherwise you will have to add another hour! What's wrong with Li Chang being here? Why can't you do anything right? There are so many queens and palace people watching here. Can you show some courage and make fewer mistakes?"

Li Chang had never suffered such a great humiliation before. She couldn't help crying while being tortured.

Rong Pei scolded again: "Why are you crying? This is the grace bestowed upon you by the Empress, so hold back your tears! Since you have the guts to offer deer blood wine and do such a defiled thing in the palace, you should have thought about this day. Let's see if you dare to have evil thoughts in the future! Don't cry!"

Seeing that Yan Wan remained silent, Rong Pei became anxious and used too much force. She accidentally used the ruler to break one of Chang Zai's fingers.

Li Changzai and the others were weak women to begin with, and they had been tortured for a year, so their bodies were very weak. Changzai couldn't stand the pain, and immediately fell to the ground and fainted!

Yan Wan was not just watching coldly, but when she saw Li Changzai and the others being punished, the tragic memories of the original owner's previous life suddenly appeared in her mind, and she was upset for a while. She didn't expect Rong Pei to use such a heavy hand to force her to end.

Yan Wan was startled and said hurriedly, "Lan Cui, go get the imperial physician!"

Rong Pei finally waited for the opportunity and gave a wink to the palace maid beside her, asking her to go back and report to Ruyi.

He shouted, "Wait! It's not time yet, you are not allowed to call the doctor!"

Lan Cui naturally would not listen to Rong Pei and went straight to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician.

Rong Pei took advantage of the situation and said, "Could it be that Concubine Ling is relying on her power to handle palace affairs and ignores the Empress's decree?!"

Yi Huan had long been fed up with Rong Pei. Seeing that Rong Pei always humiliated the concubines and palace maids, she couldn't help but stand up and say, "The Queen only said to punish Li Changzai and several others with a board, but she didn't say that we can't call in the imperial physician. Aunt Rong Pei, aren't you meddling too much?"

Rong Pei didn't understand why Yi Huan always spoke for Concubine Ling, and said dissatisfiedly: "Empress Shu naturally believes in the Empress's order, and everything should be based on the Empress's order! If the Empress wants to punish Li Changzai and others, why would she invite an imperial physician for them? Empress Shu's kindness should not be misused!"

Yi Huan's face changed immediately after hearing this. She respected the Queen, but that didn't mean she had to listen to the Queen no matter what was right or wrong! What's more, the Queen was the Queen and Rong Pei was Rong Pei. Why should she listen to Rong Pei, a servant? !

Yan Wan held Yi Huan and chuckled, "So, if the emperor and empress punish someone, they can't call in the imperial physician without the emperor and empress's personal order?"

Rong Pei nodded arrogantly, thinking that Yan Wan had finally said something pleasing to the ear, "That's right, so Empress Ling Fei should quickly let Lan Cui come back."

Yan Wan did not answer but asked: "Then I wonder if Aunt Rong Pei has invited the imperial physician?"
