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

After hearing the news, Ruyi frowned and said, "What happened to Concubine Li? I was just teaching her the rules, but she caused all this trouble! Let the imperial physician bandage her."

Yupin also rushed to Yikun Palace, "Sister, I heard about it too. The emperor will be back soon. Li Chang is making such a scene. She must have bad intentions. How are you going to deal with it, sister?"

Ruyi didn't care. "The emperor has long given me the right to deal with Li Changzai and the other three. It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely blame Li Changzai's family. It's good that I don't pursue her fault. I'm afraid Li Changzai has made the wrong decision!"

Then Ruyi thought of something and asked again, "Has Concubine Ling gone to see it?"

Yupin said, "Lingfei didn't go, she just asked Chunchan to send over some high-quality medicinal herbs."

Ruyi sneered, "It seems that Concubine Ling also knows that it is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, and she is afraid that visiting Concubine Li will bring trouble to herself. Now she knows to avoid suspicion, which shows that Concubine Ling was a hypocrite before."

Yupin was a little worried. "This matter has caused a lot of uproar. The emperor cares most about his reputation. If this matter is used by Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling to make a fuss, I'm afraid it will be bad for my sister."

Ruyi felt that as the Empress of the Central Palace, it was her duty to discipline the concubines. How could she be blamed for Li Changzai's suicide?

"Then block the news and don't let the emperor know. Go visit Concubine Li on my behalf."

Yupin said: "Yes!"

Concubine Yu went to Li Changzai's bedroom, and half in a threatening and half kind manner, asked Li Changzai and others to forget what happened that day to avoid bringing harm to their families.

Yan Wan was also shocked when she learned that Li Changzai had committed suicide, but when she saw that Li Changzai and others had made the matter known to everyone, she knew what Li Changzai and others were planning.

Yan Wan no longer had the power to handle palace affairs, so if something happened in the palace, she naturally couldn't go there immediately. She only asked Chun Chan to bring some gifts to visit Li Changzai, and asked Lan Cui to go to the Internal Affairs Department to look after Li Changzai and the others.

When Chunchan went there, Li Changzai had already woken up and conveyed Yanwan's words asking Li Changzai to stay calm.

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, Ruyi couldn't wait to tell him the good news that she was pregnant again.

Under the suppression of Ruyi and Hai Lan, no one took the initiative to inform the emperor of the news of Li Changzai's suicide, but the palace servants were still whispering about it.

Ruyi saw that no one mentioned this matter for a few days after the emperor returned, so she thought that the matter was over.

Jinzhong first learned that the Queen had set a trap for her own mistress, taking the opportunity to seize her own mistress's power and forcing the concubines to be angry but not dare to speak out.

Jinzhong felt sorry for Yanwan who was bullied by Ruyi, and he intentionally or unintentionally arranged for the emperor to hear some gossip about Li Changzai.

When the emperor came back, the concubines went to the Yangxin Palace to pay their respects to him. The emperor intentionally mentioned Li Changzai, but the concubines remained silent. Even the three noble ladies Ke, who always liked to target Li Changzai, kept their mouths shut.

The emperor became more suspicious and noticed that Concubine Yu had replaced Concubine Ling to help the empress manage palace affairs.

The emperor asked Li Yu and Jinzhong to find out what happened in the palace, but due to the queen's gag order, they dared not tell the emperor.

Jinzhong said vaguely, "Since His Majesty returned to the palace, he has only visited the Empress. Tonight, why don't you go to Yongshou Palace to visit Concubine Ling?"

The emperor had many questions in his mind, and thinking that Yan Wan had always been gentle and considerate, he thought that asking her would definitely yield some results, so he summoned Yan Wan to sleep with him that night.

"Concubine, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"

After not seeing her for only half a month, the emperor felt that Yan Wan looked haggard and pitiful. Thinking that Yan Wan was no longer in charge of palace affairs, he suddenly felt that Yan Wan had suffered some injustice.

"Hurry up and get up. Why didn't you go to help the Queen with palace affairs today? Are you sick?"

Yan Wan said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. But I am not talented enough and cannot help the Empress, so I have to trouble Concubine Yu."

The emperor hugged Yan Wan and returned to the bedroom, saying to her: "You have always been good at handling things, and I trust you. I have been back in the palace for a few days and I feel that the atmosphere in the palace is weird. What happened? Don't worry, tell me the truth. If you have been wronged, I will take care of it for you!"

Yan Wan looked at the emperor's face and said carefully: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. If the emperor knows, please don't be angry."

Seeing Yan Wan's cautious expression, the emperor knew that something big had happened in the palace. He nodded and told Yan Wan to speak out boldly.

The emperor was shocked and said, "What? There is such a thing? Why didn't the queen tell me?"

Yan Wan was immediately embarrassed, Jin Zhong spoke for Yan Wan, "Your Majesty, I have found out. It was Aunt Rong Pei from the Yikun Palace who scolded her, and Li Changzai got angry and did something wrong. Fortunately, there were many people present at the time, and they grabbed Li Changzai in time, so she didn't die on the spot."

When the emperor heard that Li Changzai's suicide was related to Rong Pei, he felt a headache, "Why is it Rong Pei again? She is just a palace maid, how dare she scold my Changzai? This is really unreasonable!"

Yan Wan was afraid that Li Changzai would be punished more severely, so she pleaded for them, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although it is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, Li Changzai just couldn't stand the humiliation of being punished by being beaten. Li Changzai and the others have been pitiful enough this year. Since the Empress has blocked the news, Your Majesty, please forgive Li Changzai."

The emperor frowned and asked, "The punishment of being beaten? Are you saying that Li Changzai and the others were punished by being beaten? Was it the queen's idea?"

Yan Wan knew she had said something wrong, so Jin Zhong explained for her, "The Empress wanted to rectify the palace rules, so she punished Li Changzai and several others by making them stand on the board, and she also called all the concubines, maids, and eunuchs in the same palace to watch the punishment."

"During this period, Aunt Rong Pei accidentally broke Chang Zai's finger. Concubine Ling asked Miss Lan Cui to ask for the imperial physician, but Aunt Rong Pei refused. After a few arguments, the Empress came and reprimanded Concubine Ling for ignoring the Emperor's decree and blindly helping the criminal."

"Empress Ling knew that she had spoken inappropriately and felt guilty towards the Emperor, so she took the initiative to hand over the power to handle palace affairs. When the Empress saw that Empress Ling knew her mistake, she asked Doctor Bao, invited by Miss Lan Cui, to treat Li Changzai and the others."

"I just don't know why, but the next day the Empress forbad the imperial physician to go again. Then Concubine Li had a few words with Aunt Rong Pei, and then, it turned out like this."

The Emperor couldn't believe that Ruyi, a queen, would actually indulge Rong Pei, such a mean slave, and be so mean to the maids, even to the point of forcing them to death!

Is this still the Qingying he knew when he was young? How can such a person convince others! ?

Yan Wan pleaded, "Your Majesty, I spoke a few words for Li Changzai because I felt sorry for them. I didn't expect that Li Changzai would do such an irrational thing. I beg Your Majesty to forgive her this time because she was confused for a moment."

"I heard from Lan Cui that Li Chang has suffered a lot in the past year. Her health is seriously weakened. If she continues like this, I'm afraid she won't live much longer!"

When the four of them first entered the palace, Li Chang was healthy and well, but she suddenly became like this, and anyone could guess why.
