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

Yan Wan felt disdainful when she heard Ruyi's thoughts, but she also felt sorry for Shupin's infatuation with the emperor.

In the previous life, Shupin committed suicide in despair after learning the truth about the pregnancy medicine. Yanwan felt sorry for Yihuan, but also felt that it was not a bad thing to have a thought in the deep palace. It was better not to tell Yihuan about the pregnancy medicine.

Ruyi felt strange when she saw how Yanwan and Yihuan were getting along so well. After all, Yihuan was a talented lady from a famous family. How could she be on good terms with such a snobbish person?

Ruyi asked, "Why are you two in the Buddhist temple together?"

"It was Concubine Wei who invited me to go with her to pray for the Seventh Prince. It so happened that I also had this plan, so I came along. But I didn't expect it would be of no use." Yi Huan said.

"Noble Lady Wei is very thoughtful." Ruyi said with a smile.

Yi Huan felt that Concubine Xian's tone was a little strange, as if she thought Concubine Wei had ulterior motives, but she felt that she was not bad after spending a few times with Concubine Wei. Yi Huan was not a nosy person, so she did not ask.

Of course, Yanwan heard the sarcasm in Ruyi's words. She must be speaking up for Ling Yunche, right?

Yan Wan smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Concubine Xian. I once lived in the Queen's palace for half a year and saw the Emperor's love for the Seventh Prince many times. I was thinking of the Emperor and the Queen, so I wanted to pray for the Seventh Prince."

"The Emperor knows that I like poetry, so he not only taught me to read and write, but also praised Sister Shupin many times in front of me. He said that Sister Shupin is not only knowledgeable, but also a good teacher who teaches sincerely, and asked me to learn from Sister Shupin."

Yi Huan felt sweet in her heart after hearing this and asked, "Really? Did the Emperor really say that?"

"If you don't believe me, please ask the emperor yourself. Could it be that I am deliberately flattering you in front of Concubine Xian?" Yan Wan said jokingly.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate like sisters, Ruyi felt uncomfortable and deliberately mentioned Yanwan's past.

"Noble Lady Wei was once a maid in Qixiang Palace. She never thought that she would become the Emperor's Noble Lady Wei in the blink of an eye. In this palace, it is rare for a maid to be a noble lady as soon as she is conferred the title. This shows how much the Emperor likes Noble Lady Wei."

Yan Wan's expression remained unchanged as she replied, "This concubine really didn't expect this. Maybe the emperor saw that my features resembled those of Imperial Concubine Xian, so I got some help from Imperial Concubine Xian, right?"

"I have risen from a maid to a noble lady. I am very grateful for the kindness the Emperor and Empress have shown me, so I want to do something for them. Sister Shupin is even more concerned about the Emperor's health, so we agreed to come to the Buddhist temple together."

Yi Huan carefully observed the two's appearance and felt that they did have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes, but only slightly. Yan Wan was only nineteen years old, and after leaving Qixiang Palace, she had more talent and noble temperament.

As for Ruyi, it is not known whether it is because she is in a high position that she chooses more mature servants, or because Ruyi is ten years older than Yanwan. In Yihuan's opinion, Yanwan's appearance and temperament are much better than Ruyi.

But Yihuan naturally couldn't say this in front of Ruyi.

Ruyi felt a little unhappy when she heard Wei Yanwan speak so flawlessly. Hailan saw this and immediately spoke up for Ruyi.

"I heard that the reason why Concubine Wei went to Qixiang Palace was because she offended the Empress. Concubine Wei also asked someone to ask me to save you and escape from Qixiang Palace. That day in the Imperial Garden, I spoke for you. Who knew that you would get close to the Emperor? Now, you say that the Empress has done you a favor!"

Yan Wan pretended to recall the past, and suddenly realized: "Have I ever offended the Queen? Oh, I remember now. Five years ago, when I was still working in the flower room, I gave a pot of peonies to the Queen. The Queen was originally quite happy, until..."

"It was not until Concubine Xian wore a dress with a yellow peony pattern and went to pay respects to the Empress that I praised Concubine Xian in front of the Empress. The Empress got angry with me and asked Concubine Jia to take me to Qixiang Palace and changed my name to Ying'er."

The grudge between Empress Fucha and Concubine Xian was known to everyone in the palace. Although Yihuan was devoted to the emperor, she also knew this. So, was the source of Yanwan's torment due to Concubine Xian?

Yi Huan was surprised and said, "Yao Huang Peony? Peony has always represented the Queen. It would be presumptuous for Concubine Xian to wear this kind of clothes."

Ruyi and Hailan's expressions suddenly turned ugly, and Yanwan continued, "It was indeed my fault that day, and it was reasonable for the Queen to be angry. Later, the Queen kept me in Changchun Palace to learn the rules, and I am naturally grateful."

"Lady Wei, you know how to be grateful to the Queen who caused you to suffer, so why are you so cruel to those who help you?" Hai Lan asked.

It seems that Ruyi and Hai Lan are really determined to seek justice for Ling Yunche, and they even said such words in front of Shupin.

Is the next sentence going to say that she betrayed Ling Yunche, so that the emperor would think that she and Ling Yunche had an affair and drag her away to be executed? !

Yan Wan asked calmly, "I don't know what Concubine Yu meant by that, but I think Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu are dissatisfied with me?"

Ruyi couldn't help but say, "I have seen everything you have been through. Do you want to tell me that you have your own difficulties? Even if you do, what are your difficulties?"

Yan Wan smiled coldly and said, "As Concubine Yu said, I once asked someone to ask Concubine Xian for help. Concubine Xian also promised to rescue me. I believe in Concubine Xian. I have been waiting for five years!"

"If it wasn't for the fact that I was beaten and scolded by Concubine Jia in the Imperial Garden that day, and if Your Majesty hadn't accidentally seen me, I don't know if I would have to wait another five years, and I don't know if I would have the life to wait another five years!"

"If we talk about hardships, does my desire to live with dignity count as a hardship? Concubine Yu thinks that I am generous by being grateful to the Queen. But how can I compare to Concubine Xian? I heard that Concubine Mei mistakenly believed that Concubine Xian was the murderer of her child, and she broke into Concubine Xian's bedroom with a whip and whipped her in public!"

"Not only did Concubine Xian not blame Concubine Mei at that time, but after she left the cold palace, didn't she still have contact with Concubine Mei? I can never be as magnanimous as you, Concubine Xian!"

"You! You are making excuses!" Ruyi was so angry that her face turned red.

"How dare you, a mere noble who was born a palace maid, speak to Concubine Xian like that? Kneel down and apologize!" Hai Lan became even more angry when she saw her sister Ruyi's angry look.

Yan Wan knew that Ruyi and Hai Lan were just cowardly people who bullied the weak and feared the strong, so she said calmly, "Isn't what I said true? Why is Concubine Xian so angry?"

Turning to Hai Lan, she said, "Empress Yu despises my background as a palace maid, but I am also from the Eight Banners after all. If we judge by birth, I think the children of the Eight Banners are still higher than embroiderers, tailors and the like, right?"

Hai Lan was born an embroiderer and felt extremely insulted. She was about to punish Yan Wan.

Yan Wan bowed to everyone and said goodbye: "I am a little tired after kneeling in the Buddhist temple all day. If you sisters have nothing to do, I will return to the palace first. I will take my leave!"

Yihuan felt the atmosphere was awkward and thought there was some truth in Yanwan's words. She didn't want to stay here, so she took her leave, leaving only the angry Ruyi and Hailan.
