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

As soon as Hai Lan settled down in her residence in the Old Summer Palace, she immediately sent Ye Xin to ask the Fifth Prince to come and see her.

Ever since the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian, the Emperor has not allowed Yongqi and others to stay in his biological mother's bedroom.

It was just that Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun missed their son. Although Yongzhang, Yongsheng and others lived in Xiefang Palace, they still visited him from time to time, and the relationship between mother and son was naturally very good.

Hai Lan was confined to the Yanx Palace by the emperor many times. Yongqi was young at that time. Yan Wan, out of pity for Yongqi and in order to alienate the mother and son, advised Concubine Chun to let go of her grudges and be nicer to Yongqi.

Yongqi, Yongzhang and Yongrong get along very well. After Hailan is released from house arrest, her heart is all on her good sister Ruyi and she doesn't care much about Yongqi.

Over time, Yongqi naturally became closer to Concubine Chun.

"Your son greets you, mother! How have you been these past six months?" Yongqi hadn't seen Hailan for a long time and missed her very much.

Hai Lan sat on the couch and said to Yong Qi, "Mother is fine. If it weren't for your Royal Mother asking, I'm afraid Mother would still be staying in the Yanxi Palace. I don't know when we can meet again!"

Yongqi smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager cares about me. I will go to pay my respects to her in a moment."

Hai Lan waved her hands, "It's good that you have this intention, but your Royal Mother is in a bad mood right now, and she is really worried."

Yongqi was puzzled. "I heard from Madam Chun that the Emperor will arrive at Yuanmingyuan tomorrow. Why is Madam Chun in such a bad mood?"

When Hai Lan heard Yongqi talking about Concubine Chun, her face was full of admiration, but she had no idea what Ruyi was worried about, and she felt unhappy in an instant.

"Your father was assassinated in Mulan Paddock, and the Fourth Prince and Concubine Ling's brother saved the emperor. But is that true?"

Yong Qi nodded, "Of course it's true. The Emperor conferred the title of Duo Luo Beile on my fourth brother, and also conferred an official title on your younger brother. I am happy that the Emperor is safe, and I also admire the bravery of my fourth brother and your younger brother!"

Hai Lan became even more dissatisfied after hearing this, and slammed the table and said, "Kneel down! Concubine Jia has framed your mother many times, and Concubine Ling has also contradicted your mother many times."

"Your Royal Mother has done me a favor. As my son, how can you speak for them?! Yongqi, your mother taught you to be filial to her since you were a child. Have you forgotten that and are you going to be an ungrateful person?!"

Yongqi knelt down in a hurry, not understanding how his behavior could rise to the level of ungratefulness, but it was his sin to anger his mother and make her sad.

Yongqi apologized, "Mother, please calm down! I won't dare to do it again!"

Hai Lan thought about the reason why she came to Yong Qi, "Do you often study with Yong Zhang and Yong Rong?"

Yongqi nodded, "Yes, I, my third brother and sixth brother will study and rest together. Listen to Chun, Concubine Chun said that the emperor will arrive at the Old Summer Palace tomorrow."

"Empress Chun is worried that the Emperor will test our studies tomorrow, so she asked us to study hard in the school tonight."

When Hai Lan heard this, she thought to herself, "In that case, Yongqi, you can go and study with your third brother and sixth brother."

Yongqi said goodbye and left. Hailan sent Ye Xin to find someone and asked another palace maid to ask Rong Pei to come.

That night, when everyone was going to sleep, Yong Zhang and the other two were still staying up late in the school to study hard in order to prepare for the emperor's random homework check the next day.

Just when the three of them were feeling a little sleepy, Ye Xin brought over three midnight snacks.

"Third prince, fifth prince, sixth prince, Concubine Yu asked me to bring you some midnight snacks. Princes, please have some while you read."

Yong Zhang was reading a book and was bored. Seeing that it was Ye Xin who brought it to him, he thanked her, "Thank you, Concubine Yu. Fifth brother, sixth brother, let's take a break first."

While the three of them were having their meal, Ye Xin quietly moved the candlestick.

Seeing that the three of them had almost finished their work, Ye Xin said, "It's getting late. Brothers, no matter how hard you work, you must take care of your health. I'll take my leave now."

It was too late and Yong Zhang was already sleepy, but he still kept his eyes open and read the book.

Suddenly, Yong Zhang felt that the room was getting hot. He looked up and saw that the candle on another desk was dripping onto the books on the table.

The wind blew a small gap in the window, a spark fell, and the whole table was on fire!

Yong Zhang's sleepiness was instantly scared away. He shouted for help and tried to put out the flames with a book.

But somehow, the fire grew bigger and bigger as Yong Zhang moved.

Yongqi and Yongrong hurried out when they heard the noise outside. On the burning desk were mostly the homework of the three of them. Yongzhang and Yongrong thought that the emperor would check the homework, so they wanted to rescue it.

But the more they put out the fire, the bigger it got. After just a few deep breaths, the whole house was on fire. The three people were choked by the thick smoke and kept coughing.

"Help! There's a fire, come and put it out!"

Just as the three were about to rush out, the guards on night patrol seemed to see a fire in the distance and rushed over with their men.

The noise here alarmed people near the school, and for a moment, cries for help and sounds of firefighting were intertwined.

A man dressed as a guard took a bucket of water and poured it all over himself, then kicked the door open and rushed into the fire.

"Are you all right? Are you all here, brothers? It's dangerous here, brothers, please follow me out!"

Yong Zhang was the first to discover the fire and had been choked by the thick smoke for the longest time. He was now unable to hold on any longer.

The guard carried Yong Zhang on his back without saying a word. Yong Qi supported Yong Rong and followed the guard to escape from the fire.

Upon learning that the school was on fire, Ruyi woke up from her dream, and Rong Pei hurriedly helped Ruyi over.

Concubine Chun was worried about Yongzhang and Yongrong's studies. Although it was late at night, she had not yet gone to bed. When she heard that the school was on fire, she hurriedly dressed and went to check.

Concubine Chun saw Yong Zhang being carried out from a distance, "Yong Zhang! Yong Rong! Are you all right? Yong Zhang, what happened to you? Call the imperial physician!"

The sudden fire frightened the young Yongrong. After he was out of danger, he couldn't help crying because he saw his mother by his side.

Yongqi comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam Chun, Third Brother is fine, he just choked on the smoke."

After hearing this, Concubine Chun felt relieved and said to Yongqi, "I'm glad you're okay. Yongqi, you're okay too. How did you suddenly have a seizure? Hurry up and call the imperial physician to check on all three of you!"

Hailan also came at this time, looked at the fire that had been put out, and ordered: "Go in and take a look, don't miss anything."

The imperial physician came to check the pulses of the three princes. Except for the third prince who was choked by smoke and had a cough, the other three were not injured.

Concubine Chun let out a long sigh of relief and said thankfully, "It's good that you're alright. It's so late at night, and the three of you have been frightened again. Stop studying, and go back with mother to rest!"

Hailan said, "You are the one who rushed into the fire and saved the three princes? Look up."

When the guard looked up, everyone was shocked, "Guard Ling? It's you!"

Ling Yunche knelt down and greeted, "Your humble servant Ling Yunche pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Consort Chun, and Her Majesty Concubine Yu! Greetings to the three princes!"

"I was on duty tonight and happened to see the school on fire. I was disrespectful. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Prince!"

Ruyi was also surprised to see Ling Yunche here. Hailan hurriedly said, "It was you who saved the three princes. When the emperor returns to Yuanmingyuan tomorrow, I will report to the emperor and reward you, right, Concubine Chun?"

Concubine Chun's heart was now entirely on her son. She didn't pay attention to what Hai Lan said and just agreed casually and was about to leave.

Ruyi watched this scene and finally reacted. She was surprised at Hailan's boldness, but also happy that Ling Yunche had the opportunity to return to the palace.

But looking at the burned-down school and the three people who escaped from the fire in a panic.

Ruyi felt a sense of panic and fear in her heart, and a slight pain in her abdomen.
