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

Yan Wan had already placed her own people in Qixiang Palace and Yanxi Palace. The atmosphere in Yanxi Palace was not right, and a young eunuch had secretly run out and spread the news.

Yanwan and Chunchan were waiting on the road leading to Xiefang Palace. Sure enough, they saw Yongqi covering his face and lowering his head as he walked quickly towards Xiefang Palace.

Yongqi saw Yan Wan was right in front of him, and it would be against the rules not to pay his respects, so he had to lower his head and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I have to go back to Xiefang Palace to study, so I will take my leave now!"

Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen and Concubine Yu always targeted Concubine Ling. Naturally, Yan Wan would not show much enthusiasm towards Yong Qi. She just said "hmm" lightly.

Just as Yongqi was about to leave, Yanwan seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly called Yongqi, "Wait! Fifth Prince, what happened to your face? Is there a rash? Why are the people serving you so careless?! Chunchan, go get the imperial physician."

Yongqi was slapped more than a dozen times by Hailan, which made him dizzy. Hailan didn't even take off her armor, so Yongqi's face inevitably had many scratches, which looked really scary.

Yongqi was embarrassed and anxious, and didn't care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, thank you for your kindness, there's no need to call the imperial physician!"

Even though she was mentally prepared, when Yongqi looked up, Yan Wan was still shocked by the injury on Yongqi's face. She didn't expect Hai Lan to be so cruel!

Yan Wan understood immediately, called Chun Chan back, and said to Yong Qi, "Was it Concubine Yu who beat her?"

Yongqi nodded awkwardly, and Yanwan sighed, "I don't know what happened, but even if the prince made a mistake, if Concubine Yu wants to punish him, she should also consider the prince's face and not hit him in the face!"

Yongqi was so ashamed and angry that he could not speak. Yan Wan said, "Imperial Concubine Chun has always cared about my brother. It is better not to let Imperial Concubine Chun know about the injury on my brother's face, so as not to worry her. There are not many people around now, so my brother should go back to Xiefang Palace."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!"

Whether Concubine Ling met him accidentally or waited here on purpose, what Concubine Ling said was true. It was ironic that a foster mother loved her more than her biological mother!

If the emperor wanted to conquer Dawachi, he would have to rely on the strength of various Mongolian tribes. Balin Meiruo was very happy and soon became pregnant.

Since entering the palace, Balin Meiruo has been self-conscious that she has the support of the Balin tribe, and has not taken the concubines below the queen seriously. Now that she is pregnant, she is even more arrogant and domineering.

One day, Yanwan and Yihuan went to stroll in the Imperial Garden, and happened to run into Balin Meiruo and others who were also admiring the flowers.

Yan Wan and her friends didn't want to ruin their fun, so they greeted each other and left.

Balin Meiruo stopped Yan Wan and said, "I heard that Concubine Ling was promoted to the position of Concubine in just three years, and I thought she was some extraordinary person."

"Now, Concubine Ling has been a concubine for several years. Why hasn't the Emperor shown any intention of promoting her? Has Concubine Ling fallen out of favor?"

Yan Wan didn't want to pay attention to Balin Meiruo, but Balin Meiruo stopped her from leaving. Balin Meiruo was pregnant, and if something happened to her, no one could explain it.

In the past year, Balin Meiruo has been provoking Yanwan everywhere, and Yihuan can no longer stand it.

"I have served the emperor for a longer time. It was only when I was pregnant with the tenth prince that I was promoted to Shufei by the emperor. Sister Yanwan has been childless for three years and was promoted to concubine. This is a unique favor, not to mention that the emperor also allowed sister Yanwan to help the queen handle palace affairs!"

Balin Meiruo was not happy that Yihuan, who came from such a good family, was actually on equal terms with the sisters of Concubine Ling, who were born as bondservants. She thought that Yihuan not only had a problem with taste, but also betrayed the Empress.

Balin Meiruo taunted, "Although Concubine Shu was lucky enough to give birth to the Tenth Prince for the Emperor, it must have been because of her careless choice of friends that she angered the heavens, causing the Tenth Prince to become someone else's son."

"Even if I'm lucky enough to give birth to a prince, I'm just making wedding clothes for others. Isn't it a waste of life?!"

Yi Huan Yan Wan's face changed drastically. Yi Huan angrily said, "How dare you! The emperor allowed the tenth prince to be adopted out of consideration for his health. How dare you discuss the emperor's decree?!"

Balin Meiruo didn't take it seriously, but when he saw Shufei, who was always calm and composed, change her expression, he knew that his words had touched Shufei's sore spot, so he continued to speak harshly.

"What is the Tenth Prince? He is no longer the emperor's son and can no longer be called a prince!"

"However, Madam Shu Fei, there is no need to be angry. At least you gave birth to a son, and he can be sent to Xiefang Palace for education. If you were unlucky and gave birth to a daughter, I'm afraid you would never be able to see her in this lifetime!"

"You!" Yihuan had only known Balin Meiruo as a spoiled Mongolian princess before, but she actually spoke so viciously! Yihuan was so angry that she was speechless.

Yanwan hurriedly supported Yihuan, fearing that Yihuan would be hurt by Balin Meiruo. She also happened to see the Queen Mother coming to the Imperial Garden to relax not far away.

Yan Wan scolded, "Yingpin, be careful with your words! What about the prince, what about the princess, aren't they all the emperor's blood? You are also going to be my mother soon, how can you say such cold and heartless words?!"

Balin Meiruo had been provoking Yanwan for so long, but Yanwan was either too lazy to pay attention to her or retorted with a few words, making her look like a clown.

Balin Meiruo looked at Yanwan's slightly excited expression and instantly became energetic, and spared no effort to stimulate the two of them.

"What I said is the truth. Why are Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling so upset? One of you gave birth to a son, and the other has no children. Even if your daughter wants to get married and the princess wants to marry, you won't be chosen. Why are you so angry?"

Yan Wan tried to induce her, "Yingpin, you are a woman, and a princess of Mongolia, yet you said such heartless words. We don't even know if the baby is a boy or a girl. If it is a princess, aren't you afraid that your words today will be a retribution for the child?!"

Balin Meiruo thought Yanwan was cursing him, and said angrily: "How dare you curse me? My baby must be a prince!"

Then he said proudly: "So what if she is a princess? Princesses are different from each other, and the marriage is also different!"

Yan Wan smiled coldly, "Oh, I wonder what the difference is?"

Balin Meiruo smiled proudly, "I am the princess of the Balin tribe, the most powerful tribe in Mongolia! If the emperor wants to attack the Junggar tribe, he must rely on our 49 Mongolian tribes!"

"If I'm unhappy, it means that the 49 Mongolian tribes are unhappy. Even the emperor doesn't dare to reprimand me, let alone you?"

Seeing that all the concubines were silent, Balin Meiruo was even more proud.

"Although I was sent to the palace by my father, I came to the capital to enjoy wealth and splendor. Unlike other princesses, who were sent to a place thousands of miles away to marry, I had to endure the humiliation of marrying the enemy who killed my husband."

"If I were her, I would have hanged myself long ago. This is better than living a miserable life!"

The concubines knelt down in a hurry, and Balin Meiruo only heard a cold tone coming from behind them.

"So, I really envy your good fortune, Yingpin!"
