The phoenix head incense burner in the main hall exhales wisps of light and elegant fragrance, refreshing the heart and lungs, very refreshing, and relaxing both body and mind.

But the queen felt that her whole body was tense, her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and there were faint stains of sweat on her vest. Her hands on both sides were also wet when she pressed the corners of her skirt.

"Your Majesty..." the Queen whined, her eyes turned red and her voice was choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I have been married to you for so many years, and I will never reach out to someone who knows I shouldn't. I never interfered in this matter at that time. Your Majesty also handles people by yourself. Why do you doubt me now? What happened back then, what happened back then..."

The queen's face was filled with pain, and she slowly pressed her chest with one hand, "If, if I really want to deal with King Chen, why bother to cause such a thing like Princess Chen..."

The queen smiled miserably when she said this, "Aren't there other pity's? That's what the emperor told me personally, and it's something only I know!"

Her voice dimmed, almost as if she was talking to herself, but the emperor heard it clearly, and his gloomy face showed a bit of emotion.

"Your Majesty, when I married you, you were just a prince. During the reign of the late emperor, I was involved in a harem fight and almost lost my life. It was also the prince who helped prove my innocence. , I followed you wholeheartedly at that time, even though... Even though you didn’t give me much place in your heart, I always kept my duty in mind, but now that you are accusing me like this, I can’t admit it. of."

"When what happened in the palace, I was not present at the time. The only people who could know about it were those who were present, right? The emperor did not ask the people present, but came to accuse me. I was wronged. If you were not present, It’s possible for people, not just concubines, but Concubine De, Concubine Ming, and Prince Cheng!”

When something happened to the late emperor, the only one who entered the palace was the emperor. After that, the emperor entered the palace, and his wife and concubines entered the palace together. When everything was in chaos, it was true that anyone could reach out.

The change of dynasty was completed suddenly within a few days. The former emperor's own heir had not ascended to the throne. The ministers had disputes. The affairs of the previous dynasty had not been settled, let alone those in the harem.

The harem was also in chaos at that time. It would not be difficult if someone secretly intercepted a few palace people who were present. Not only the queen had this ability, but also the concubines who entered the palace at that time. When it was in chaos , who knows who took action.

The emperor fell silent. Of course he understood what the queen said. When he thought about it carefully, it did make sense.

Before, he only thought that the most likely one was the Queen. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was indeed possible. The concubines who followed the Queen into the palace, such as De Fei and Ming Fei, all followed him from the dormitory into the palace. , there were quite a few of them. As for King Cheng, it was possible that he also came to the palace specifically to accompany the Queen Mother who had lost her eldest son.

"Your Majesty, if there was no chaos at that time, how could you not have discovered that Prince Qing's mother-in-law was pregnant? How could you have allowed her to take the prince into Yuhui Nunnery?"

When the queen saw the emperor's face, she knew that her words had an effect, and her expression became more pitiful.

When the emperor dies, only those who have not given birth to an heir will be sent to Yuhui Nunnery for purification. Those who have given birth to heirs will be kept. When they are sent to Yuhui Nunnery, they will usually be sent to Yuhui Nunnery by the imperial physician. Take the rash's pulse and check to see if there is nothing wrong before being sent in.

It was just that the situation at that time was too sudden and the palace was in chaos, so it happened that the pregnant concubine hid the child in her belly and entered Yuhui Nunnery together.

The queen's tears fell down, but she did not reach out to wipe them away, letting the tears slowly slide down her beautiful cheeks, "If the emperor doesn't believe me, he will abolish me. I am willing to bear all the consequences." Guilty, as for King Zhou, the emperor should not doubt him who was only born at that time!"

What he said was extremely pitiful, and tears rolled down one by one. After saying this, he was choked with tears and unable to speak.

Hearing what she said was so pitiful, the emperor's face softened a little, but he was still angry: "You are the master of the harem and the queen. So many things have happened, you can't know nothing about it, right? "

"Your Majesty, I...I also want to know many things, and I also want to be the master of the harem, so that the Emperor can deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty wholeheartedly, but...but there are some things that I can't reach out to. ? The Queen Mother had an accident that day, and I want to ask Princess Chen to come and ask for details, but I have to find another reason, for fear that others will misunderstand Princess Chen. "

The queen explained aggrievedly that she spoke frankly about the matter of summoning Shao Wanru into the palace that day and did not use other words to explain it. That kind of reason could only fool other people, but it could not convince the emperor. With the emperor's character, This is the time when speaking out is best.

"Your Majesty, there are so many things in the harem. There are many things that the emperor does not let me touch, and I will not touch them. This is the case with the Queen Mother, and it is also the case with Concubine Lan. As long as the emperor orders, I will never dare to disobey. But sometimes I have to maintain the peace of the harem and have to ask around, but isn’t this my concubine’s duty? Your Majesty, what should I do so that you can feel at ease!"

When the queen said this, she burst into tears.

The emperor fell silent and looked at the queen with a deep look, as if he wanted to see something from her face. However, seeing that although she was aggrieved, she restrained herself forcefully, and for a moment he let out a long sigh in his heart, "You really are. Don’t know anything?”

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can call Princess Chen and ask her to tell me what she said to my concubine that day? Your Majesty, all I did was to maintain the peace of the harem. What else do you know about other things? As for the emperor, As for the previous accusations, I was busy gathering the harem and clearing out the people in the harem of the previous dynasty. When I first entered the palace, how could I have so many people to check for anything?"

"Who does the queen think is most likely at that time?" The emperor's momentum softened slightly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. I have been in the harem all the time. I am also concerned about the trivial matters in the harem. Some major safety issues have always been the responsibility of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't know about it, I really don't know." The queen said while wiping her tears. .

This cry was indeed well-meaning, and the emperor fell silent. On the one hand, he said that she was wronged, and on the other hand, he brought up the matter of Concubine Lan, implying that she had endured such an grievance, so how could other things not be easy for her? , showing that she is virtuous and generous, and is not a person who will harm others.

Concubine Lan walked alone in the harem. Although she was "grounded", in fact, this "grounding" was just a way to protect her. She didn't have to wake up at dawn or dusk, see the Queen Mother, or use it for herself. Everything was His main purpose was to protect her, and it was only because she was the sister of the late queen that the emperor was so special to her.

Every time she thought of this, the queen felt as if her whole heart was being bitten, and she twisted tightly in discomfort, wishing that Concubine Lan was dead.

But she didn't dare. After following the emperor for so long, she always knew that Concubine Lan was the woman in the emperor's heart. However, because of the identity of the former queen's sister, it was destined that she would not be able to get any high position, and she might also be attracted by other women in the harem. Jealousy, this is why the term "banned" comes into being.

Concubine Lan secretly came out from time to time. It was not that the queen didn't know, she just pretended not to know. She even knew that Concubine Lan had always wanted to contact Chu Liuchen, but was rejected by Chu Liuchen.

Regarding Concubine Lan's matter, she considered herself generous enough. Concubine Lan had nothing to do at the moment. Not only was the emperor protecting her, but she was also indulging in her own connivance. In this regard, the emperor must be grateful to her.

This is also an important reason why she has tolerated Concubine Lan and kept Concubine Lan's affairs under lock and key for so many years.

Although she and Concubine Lan actually had a fight in private, at least on the surface, she was a fair and kind empress. If she came forward, the emperor would be less suspicious of her.

"Get up, take a good rest these days, I still have something to do!" The emperor stood up and said with an unclear expression. He did not reprimand the queen, which already meant that he believed in what the queen said.

"Yes, I know!" The queen nodded and said softly with tears in her eyes.

The emperor strode away, and the queen stood up holding the chair, her eyes turned cold, and her vest was soaked in cold sweat.

At that moment, she knew clearly what the emperor was thinking. If she had answered incorrectly just now, she might have to be deposed.

She is just a little Princess Chen, but she cares so much about her. She knew that he was different from the former Queen at the beginning, but now she even wants to protect the son she gave birth to?

The son of an unclean woman was just a diseased son who was going to die. Could it be that he really wanted to pass the throne to this bastard?

How could she be willing to do so? She is the queen and the master of the palace.

That woman, the First Queen, has been dead for a long time. Even her bones have rotted away. Why should she argue with herself again? Concubine Lan, even if she is the First Queen's sister, she is just a shadow of the First Queen.

A shadow can fulfill the responsibilities of a shadow. Could it be that he still hopes to rely on King Chen to put her in the position of the Queen Mother?

"Queen, King Zhou secretly sent someone in!" A nun came in and reported cautiously.

"Tell him not to act in vain, and do whatever he wants. He must not do anything." The Queen ordered.

"King Zhou was worried about your health and sent a miracle doctor here." Mammy said again.

"Who is it? A miracle doctor? What are you talking about? Is there still a shortage of medical doctors in this palace?" The Queen scolded after being stunned for a moment.

"But this person...has already come in!" Mammy said with a twitch on her face. It wasn't that she didn't want to stop the person, it was actually His Highness King Zhou who sent the person over with the news.

"Nonsense, do you need a miracle doctor to send someone out of the palace at this time?" the queen said angrily.

"Yes, I will go down and make arrangements now." Mammy nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by the queen, "Let him wait in the side hall first, together with the palace doctor!"
