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

Upon hearing the sad news, the emperor's smile froze on his face, and he said to Grandma Tian in disbelief.

"What did you say? What happened to the Thirteenth Prince?"

Grandma Tian shed two lines of tears and cried, "The Thirteenth Prince was born prematurely and died just after he was born! The Thirteenth Prince died young, please accept my condolences, Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Queen!"

The emperor walked in quickly to see the Thirteenth Prince for the first and last time.

After the emperor left, the concubines looked at each other in shock. Only Concubine Jia, when no one was paying attention, gave Grandma Tian, ​​who was kneeling on the ground, an admiring look.

Ruyi had been giving birth for a whole day and night, and her strength had long been exhausted. She had fallen asleep. Hailan Rongpei sat beside the bed, looking at Ruyi's sleeping face in sorrow.

The emperor thought of the prophecy and angrily summoned the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory.

"Didn't you tell me that the Queen was carrying an auspicious prince? Why did the Thirteenth Prince die when he was born?!"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory thought that the queen might give birth to a princess, and he had already thought of a reason to explain it. But he never expected that the queen would actually give birth to a stillborn baby!

The chief envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory knelt down and apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, calm down! I did say that the Thirteenth Prince is the son of an auspicious sign, but the Empress is the Moon Star, and there were signs a few years ago that the Moon Star would clash with the Ziwei Star."

"The Empress' fate was too strong, and the Purple Star could not suppress it, which led to the premature death of the Thirteenth Prince. The original auspicious sign turned into a bad omen of harming her son, hindering her husband, and causing all kinds of misfortunes!"

Grandma Tian secretly adjusted the fetal position, which caused the 13th prince to die young. She was extremely frightened. Suddenly she heard the Imperial Observatory's chief envoy say this and immediately cooperated.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has already had experience with childbirth twice, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"But since the Empress was five months pregnant, she has started to feel a little uncomfortable. I originally thought it was because the Empress's fetus was in an abnormal position, but after hearing what the Imperial Observatory's Chief Envoy said, I think it's because the Empress has brought bad luck to the Thirteenth Prince!"

Hai Lan heard that Grandma Tian and the others could not protect her sister and her child. In order to escape the blame, she fabricated a rumor that her sister had killed her child in front of the emperor. She pointed at Grandma Tian and the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory and cursed

"What nonsense! It's clearly you, a lowly servant, who failed in your duty, yet you used those unfounded rumors to slander the Empress. What crime should you be punished for?!"

Since the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory dared to say this in public, he was naturally not afraid of anyone's investigation. I heard from Concubine Yu that the Imperial Observatory's predictions were all unfounded rumors.

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory looked up and questioned Hai Lan, "Since Concubine Yu doesn't believe what the Imperial Observatory said, then why did she believe the words that a palace maid had a conflicting fate with the emperor and the eldest prince all those years ago?!"

Hai Lan knew that the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory was talking about her deliberately setting up a plan to have Concubine Chun use the excuse of incompatibility of horoscopes to transfer Concubine Ling, who was still a palace maid, from Zhongcui Palace to work as a laborer in the flower room.

Although Yan Wan and others were waiting outside the door, the people inside were quite excited and spoke loudly, so they could hear it clearly.

When reminded by the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, Concubine Chun immediately thought of the fact that she had listened to Hai Lan's instigation and drove Yan Wan out of Zhongcui Palace.

It was only then that Concubine Chun suddenly realized that Hai Lan had started targeting Yan Wan a long time ago.

Concubine Chun thought about what she had done and looked at the silent Yan Wan with guilt.

Hai Lan was rebuked by the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory. She couldn't say this in public and was so angry that she didn't know how to refute.

When the emperor saw Hai Lan's reaction, he began to believe the words of Grandma Hetian, the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory.

The emperor lost a son and learned that his queen was unlucky and harmed her husband. He was very upset and said impatiently.

"Shut up! The Thirteenth Prince's name is Yongjing. Someone, take the Thirteenth Prince out of the palace and bury him properly!"

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Hai Lan hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty! The Empress has lost the Thirteenth Prince, which is already pitiful enough. Your Majesty must not believe the one-sided words of Grandma Hetian, the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress doesn't know this news yet. I can't believe how sad the Empress will be after she knows this bad news. Will Your Majesty not stay to comfort the Empress?"

I don't know when it started, but the emperor always felt awkward with Ruyi. Now that the 13th prince died, the emperor didn't know how to face Ruyi, didn't know how to face this celestial phenomenon, and wanted to escape.

"I still have some memorials to read. You and Jiang Yubin stay here. Everyone else go back!"

Hai Lan didn't expect that when her sister was so sad, the emperor would be so cruel and leave her sister alone to face the pain of losing her son.

Hai Lan looked at the emperor's departing back and felt that her sister's true love for the emperor was all in vain!

Concubine Jia returned to Qixiang Palace, leaving only Li Xin to serve her. At this moment, there was no need to hide her inner joy anymore, Concubine Jia smiled.

"Hahaha, Grandma Tian and the Chief Envoy of the Imperial Observatory did a great job! Today's scene is really satisfying! The Queen harmed my mother and me, so I will make her feel the pain of losing her son!"

"Looking at the way the Emperor is hiding from the Empress, I know that the Empress's favor has come to an end. This is the fate of going against me! The next one will be that little bitch, Concubine Ling!"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master. You have finally avenged yourself!"

It was not until the evening that Ruyi woke up slowly. Looking at the deserted Yikun Palace, Ruyi asked in confusion.

"The Emperor hasn't come to Yikun Palace yet? Is this a prince or a princess?"

Hai Lan said softly, "It's a prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the emperor gave him the name Yongjing."

Ruyi didn't care why the concubines didn't come to Yikun Palace to pay tribute. She propped herself up and tried to get up. "How long have I slept? Hurry and bring the Thirteenth Prince here."

Hai Lan suppressed her sadness, looked at Ruyi carefully, and whispered with tears in her eyes, "The Thirteenth Prince has been sent out of the palace."

Ruyi didn't understand why her child was sent out of the palace. Hailan briefly told Ruyi the whole story.

Ruyi collapsed and shouted, "I don't believe in celestial prophecy. Someone must have harmed Yongjing!"

"Grandma Tian, ​​yes, that Grandma Tian! She must have been bribed to harm my Yongjing! Was it Concubine Jia? Concubine Ling? Or Concubine Chun?"

"Rong Pei, immediately capture all the midwives and bring them to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation! Torture them and make them confess who is the mastermind behind this!"

Rong Pei looked at Ruyi's heartbroken and frantic appearance, wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. I will do it right away!"

Suddenly Ruyi thought of something and shouted, "Jiang Yubin? Where is Jiang Yubin? Hurry up and ask Jiang Yubin to come see me!"
