The Queen Mother complained to Aunt Liu that since Yingluo was unwilling, why bother copying the blood sutra? This was also disrespectful to the Buddha.The Queen Mother believed that she had been with Yingluo day and night for three years, and she understood Yingluo better. She could use everything available to make others like her. If she didn't complain, how would Concubine Shun know those things.Yingluo came to deliver the copied blood scriptures, and Aunt Liu conveyed the Queen Mother's decree, saying that Yingluo would be spared the hard work.Yingluo explained that she was willing to do it, so it would not be a chore.Aunt Liu only conveyed the Queen Mother's decree. At the same time, she also said that the Queen Mother would recite sutras in the near future and asked Yingluo not to come to pay her respects recently.Hailancha asked Mingyu why he returned the betrothal gift, but Mingyu insisted that he was with Hailancha to use him to get information.Hailan noticed that Mingyu said so heartlessly, with tears in his eyes, he didn't believe it at all.Yuan Chunwang took an inventory of the harps in the Old Summer Palace. Some of the harps were damaged due to lack of proper management.The queen asked Yuan Chunwang to tell Yuanmingyuan to send a piano to the palace every day. She would try to play and tune it herself and re-catalog it.It will be the death anniversary of the Holy Lord in four months. Yuan Chunwang believes that the emperor will be very touched when he knows that the queen is so thoughtful.An'er complained to Fu Heng that his brothers were bullying him. In fact, Fu Heng knew that An'er was disobedient and punished him to face the wall.Concubine Shun came and deliberately dropped the veil while protecting An'er.Fu Heng saw that the embroidery on the veil was the same as the pattern on his sachet. He hesitated to ask where Concubine Shun's veil came from, but in the end he did not ask.Mingyu tried on the wedding dress, but there was no trace of joy on her face.Yingluo said that she drew the patterns on the wedding dress and customized it specially. She wanted to embroider it herself, but she didn't dare to pollute the wedding dress.Although she sneered at these, she couldn't hinder Mingyu.Mingyu was in pain, saying that she really couldn't let go of Yingluo, and begged Yingluo not to marry her off.Yingluo mentioned that her sister had said that she would personally make her wedding dress. She believed that the queen would be very happy when she saw Mingyu getting married, so she asked Mingyu to be happy.Concubine Shun ordered Yi Zhu to send embroidery samples and some goldware to Mingyu, which she thought was a dowry for Mingyu.Hailancha was getting married soon, and Fu Heng specially gave him a house in the capital so that Hailancha could settle down and establish a family in the capital.Hai Lancha was curious as to why Fu Heng had given him a house after already giving him a gift. He accidentally discovered that the house was very close to the Forbidden City and he could enter and exit the palace at any time. He bluntly said that Fu Heng still had feelings for Yingluo.Shun Bin deliberately said something offensive to Fu Heng. This was what she thought when she met Fu Heng for the first time. She thanked Fu Heng for reaching out to save her when her life was hanging by a thread.Fu Heng asked Shun Bin where the handkerchief came from. Shun Bin said that she saw Yingluo had the same handkerchief and went to ask for it, but Yingluo refused to give it to her, so she copied one in private.Back at home, Fu Heng took out the sachet with the same pattern as the handkerchief from the drawer and was filled with emotion.Today is the day when Mingyu leaves the palace. Yingluo sees that Mingyu has not come out, so she goes to Mingyu's house. However, she never thinks that Mingyu has committed suicide. She inserts the scissors given to her by her concubine into her chest and commits suicide. Yingluo commits suicide.Extremely sad.After hearing the news, Hailancha rushed to Yanxi Palace and clamored to see Yingluo.Shunbi walked out of the house, claiming that Yingluo was too sad and could not see anyone, and asked Hailancha to say something to her.Hai Lancha wanted to know how Mingyu died and blamed Yingluo. Mingyu was her confidant, so she didn't give any explanation for Mingyu's death.When the emperor saw Hai Lancha making a big fuss in the Yanxi Palace, he angrily asked who gave him the right to act arrogantly in the Yanxi Palace.When the emperor left, he shouted in the direction of the house that even if Yingluo was locked up in the house for a lifetime, the dead would not come back to life.Yingluo was in the house holding Mingyu's wedding dress, feeling pain, discomfort and deep self-blame.Concubine Shun reported the cause of Mingyu's death to the emperor. The emperor called Ye Tianshi, who explained that the silver needle in Mingyu's body had entered his lungs and that he was terminally ill.The emperor decided to hide this matter from Yingluo.Yingluo disappeared. Concubine Shun seemed particularly worried about Yingluo and asked Fu Heng to find Yingluo.Fu Heng said that he was just a foreign minister and could not interfere in palace affairs.Fu Heng left with a lonely look on his face. He knew Yingluo after all and guessed that Yingluo would be there.Concubine Shun was so proud that she arranged for Yi Zhu to inform the emperor.Yingluo cleans in Changchun Palace, hoping to distract herself from the pain of losing Mingyu.Fu Heng came to Changchun Palace and advised Yingluo to cheer up. The only person who was together in the past is now Yingluo, but she is Yingluo. I believe that without them, Yingluo can stand up on her own.Fu Heng knew that Yingluo blamed herself for Mingyu's death, but he had met Hai Lancha and Mingyu chose to commit suicide because he did not want to implicate anyone.Yingluo blamed herself because she was too anxious to marry Mingyu and didn't have the patience to ask clearly.In fact, Yingluo also had selfish motives. The first queen had said that she would personally send her off to get married, but it didn't happen, so she wanted to send Mingyu off to get married in person to fulfill those unfulfilled wishes. It was her stubbornness that hastened Mingyu's death.The emperor came to Changchun Palace and saw Yingluo and Fu Heng together. He became jealous and turned around to leave.Yingluo asked Fu Heng who told him that she was here. Fu Heng saw Shun Concubine and she said that Yingluo was missing. She knew that Yingluo was here as soon as she guessed. Yingluo seemed to understand something.Concubine Shun asked to see the emperor and deliberately embroidered the picture of lentils and dragon boat for the emperor. She said she didn't know what to embroider. She saw that there was this picture on Yingluo's handkerchief. It was Fu Heng who rescued her on the way to Beijing, and sheI discovered that Fu Heng’s sachet also had an identical picture.The emperor was furious and told Concubine Shun to resign, claiming that he was busy with official duties.
