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

In order to appease Concubine Jia, Yongsheng had reached the age of marriage, and the Emperor intended to arrange a marriage for him, so he asked Concubine Jia to keep an eye out for some suitable candidates.

March has passed in a blink of an eye, and Balin Meiruo's house arrest has been lifted.

It was Yan Wan's birthday, and the emperor sent someone to summon Yan Wan to sleep with him that night.

Balin Meiruo was finally released from house arrest, but her temper did not subside at all. After greeting Ruyi, she stroked her six or seven month old belly and started to provoke Yanwan again.

"I have been confined for three months, and my belly has grown a lot. I am about to give birth. But Concubine Ling is still pregnant. Tonight, the emperor has summoned Concubine Ling to sleep with him. I wonder if Concubine Ling can seize the opportunity and get pregnant?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Yingpin, oh no, Ying Guiren, Ying Guiren has been under house arrest for three months. I thought that Guiren would learn some lessons and know what it means to speak out of turn. I didn't expect that after three months, Ying Guiren still hasn't made any progress. It's really a waste of time to be demoted from a concubine to a Guiren!"

Balin Meiruo was dissatisfied and said, "Even if I am demoted to a noble lady, so what? My concubine is from Mongolia. If the emperor wants to use the army against Junggar, he must rely on us Mongolia. Besides, I am pregnant with a dragon fetus, and I will soon give birth to a prince for the emperor. After I give birth, the emperor will definitely promote me to a concubine again!"

E Yinzhu had been on good terms with Yan Wan since she entered the palace. With Yan Wan's care over the past year and a half, she had lived a relatively smooth life in the palace. Balin Meiruo always made things difficult for Yan Wan, and E Yinzhu couldn't stand Balin Meiruo's arrogance.

"Dawachi refuses to settle down and comes to provoke the Qing Dynasty again. The emperor has sent a large army to quell the rebellion. Our Khorchin tribe and the Qing Dynasty are related by marriage, so we will naturally be the first to send troops to follow the emperor to quell the rebellion. However, I have not heard of the news that your Balin tribe has gone to war. Is it that your Balin tribe is timid and dares not go to war, or does the emperor look down on your Balin tribe because of its small population and small territory?"

Balin Meiruo said angrily: "Borjigit Eyinzhu, what nonsense are you talking about? Our Balin tribe is the most powerful tribe in Mongolia. How can your Khorchin tribe compare to us?!"

E Yinzhu had long been accustomed to Balin Meiruo's arrogant words, and was not angry. "We, the Khorchin tribe, have had frequent marriages with the Qing Dynasty. I don't know how many queens and concubines we have produced. The most famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is from our Borjigit clan!"

"The emperor values ​​the 49 Mongolian tribes, but our Khorchin tribe is the leader of the 49 Mongolian tribes. Otherwise, why would the emperor allow Empress Xiaoxian's daughter Princess Hejing to marry far away in Khorchin?"

"Now you and I are no longer tribal princesses, but the emperor's concubines. In the palace, you are a noble and I am a concubine, and Empress Lingfei is a concubine. How dare you disrespect Empress Lingfei and me?!"

Balin Meiruo was scolded by E Yinzhu, and his face turned red with anger. He said angrily, "Whether the Balin tribe is more noble or the Khorchin tribe is more respected, let's wait and see!"

Hai Lan saw that E Yinzhu and Yan Wan were on good terms, and although she usually kept quiet, she was disrespectful to Ruyi behind her back.

She still remembered that once when she was walking with Ruyi, she accidentally overheard the conversation between E Yinzhu and the maid. E Yinzhu looked down on Ruyi's family background, and she also had the ambition to covet the position of queen!

E Yinzhu was from the Khorchin tribe and had a noble status. If she had a prince, wouldn't it threaten her sister's status? But her sister was a person who didn't fight or compete with others, so Hai Lan couldn't just sit back and watch!

Hai Lan changed the subject and said, "Some time ago, the Eighth Prince fell off his horse and insisted that it was Yongqi who framed him. My sister sent people to investigate for a long time but there was nothing wrong. Now the Eighth Prince's legs are broken, and the Fourth Prince was also driven out of the palace by the emperor for making friends with ministers. It can be seen that there are some things that cannot be thought of!"

Concubine Jia has to take care of the Eighth Prince and will not come to pay her respects to Ruyi today.

Yan Wan sneered in her heart. What can't be found out? Ling Yunche and Sanbao clearly found the silver needle on the saddle, but Ling Yunche was afraid that the matter would implicate Yongqi and Hailan, and then implicate Ruyi, so he lied and said there was nothing unusual.

Concubine Chun sighed, "Concubine Jia has done a lot of evil things, but she never expected that all of them would come back to haunt her own child. Poor Eighth Prince."

The concubines thought so too and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Hailan stood up and knelt on the ground.

Ruyi asked curiously, "Why are you kneeling there? Hailan, get up quickly."

Hai Lan said seriously: "This time, I am here to serve my future master?!"

Concubine Chun was puzzled and asked, "Future master? The Queen has been on the throne for many years and is the true master of the harem. What does this future master mean?"

Hai Lan said: "The Concubine Jia relied on having three princes and the support of the Yu family to repeatedly cause trouble in the harem. Now the Fourth Prince has lost the emperor's favor, and the Eighth Prince has become disabled. This is retribution!"

"Although I only have Yongqi as my son, I and Yongqi are loyal to the Empress and the Twelfth Prince, and will never have the same delusion as Concubine Jia and her son!"

Ruyi smiled and looked at Hailan, "The twelfth prince is only three years old, what does he know?"

Hai Lan held up two fingers and swore to the sky, "Although the twelfth prince is still young, he is the only legitimate son of the Empress and the Emperor, and his status is extremely noble. Now that I have said this, and all the sisters are present, I would like to ask you to be witnesses for me."

"I, the concubine Keliyete Hailan, swear to the heavens with my entire family and my own life that from now on, whether it is me or Yongqi, I will wholeheartedly assist the Empress and the Twelfth Prince. If anyone is disloyal and intends to seize the throne, I and Yongqi will be punished by heaven!"

Hai Lan's words shocked the other concubines, but Ruyi was very satisfied.

It was not enough to just swear by myself. Shu Fei's Yong Yue had already been adopted and was no longer a threat. Hai Lan looked at Concubine Chun and asked her to continue to express her position.

Although Concubine Chun had no other ideas, she was always unhappy to be forced to swear in public. Moreover, Hai Lan herself was loyal to the Queen and ignored the future of her own son Yongqi, so how could she swear an oath with Yongqi's life? !

Concubine Chun did not respond, so Hai Lan went to see Balin Meiruo again. Balin Meiruo immediately said, "Sister Yupin is right! Although I don't know whether the baby is a prince or a princess, if it is a prince, I will be loyal to the twelfth prince of the queen and will never dare to have any delusions!"

Hai Lan urged, "Noble Concubine Chun has two princes and is raising Yongqi. You might as well speak out what you think in public."

All the concubines looked at Concubine Chun, who said, "Yongzhang and Yongrong are not as favored by the emperor as Yongqi, so I naturally don't dare to have any improper thoughts about them, but this is not something we can discuss."

Hai Lan frowned and said, "What does Concubine Chun mean? Are you unwilling to be loyal to your son?!"

Concubine Chun was a little unhappy. "We all know that Concubine Yu is loyal to the Empress, but as Yongqi's biological mother, shouldn't you also consider Yongqi's face? Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Yu slapped her son's face until it was swollen for the Empress!"

Hai Lan was unhappy when she saw Concubine Chun talking about something else, but she also felt that the emperor would not consider Yong Zhang and Yong Rong with their talents. Now, among the high-ranking concubines, only Concubine Ling was left.

"Noble Consort Chun, Noble Consort Ying, and the concubines have all expressed their opinions. Is it your turn, Empress Ling?"
