Go through it quickly, the host will torture and kill you indiscriminately

Xie Yuer's delicate body was trembling slightly, a few crystal tears hung on her beautiful yet pale face, her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity.

However, in sharp contrast to this was Ran Qi's domineering and conceited face. She stood there high above, as if the whole world revolved around her.

At this moment, Tuoba An accidentally caught a glimpse of the shocking scars on Xie Yuer's face. His heart suddenly felt as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the pain was unbearable.

His steps quickened involuntarily, and he rushed forward like a storm, holding Xie Yuer tightly in his broad and warm arms. Then, without hesitation, he kicked the maid who dared to hurt Xie Yuer.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the palace maid was kicked to the ground in an instant, groaning in pain.

"How dare you!" Tuoba An roared in anger, his voice like thunder, shaking the whole room. All of the servants in the room turned pale with fear, and fell to their knees, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

But at this moment, seeing his beloved woman being beaten so miserably, how could Tuoba An calm down his anger? His originally deep and gentle eyes were now filled with blazing anger, and his heartache for Xie Yuer was completely transformed into tangible anger at this moment.

"What a queen! She is so uneducated and wantonly humiliates innocent people!" Tuoba An said gritting his teeth. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying endless hatred and anger.

Facing the emperor's rebuke, the maid raised her head tremblingly and tried to defend Ran Qi, "Your Majesty...it was her...she was the first to speak rudely and provoke the Empress..."

The emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the ignorant woman in front of him and shouted in a harsh voice: "Shut up! You lowly servant, you don't have the right to interrupt here!" The voice was like thunder, shaking everyone present so much that their hearts trembled.

Then, the emperor waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come here! Drag this slave girl away immediately, give her fifty lashes with the stick, or beat her to death!" Following his order, several guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, grabbed the poor maid and dragged her out.

At this moment, Xie Yuer showed a look of pity and she quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Please show mercy! This is a living life after all!" There was a trace of compassion and kindness in her beautiful eyes.

However, Tuoba An, who was standing aside, was secretly worried. He knew that Xie Yuer was too kind-hearted and always forgave others' mistakes so easily.

He wanted to advise Xie Yuer not to be so kind and to fight back bravely if she was bullied, but before he could open his mouth, Ran Qi shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, are you going to punish the people around me?"

Ran Qi's eyebrows were raised, and her beautiful eyes were burning with anger. She took a step forward, faced the emperor and said, "I am a maid in this palace who has been protecting me wholeheartedly. What fault have I done? When does it become your turn to dispose of my people at will?" Her tone was tough and firm, and she had no intention of backing down.

Ever since the fairy-like Xie Yuer entered the palace, Tuoba An's eyes towards Ran Qi gradually changed. In the past, he might have been able to tolerate Ran Qi's high-handed and overbearing attitude, but now he finds it increasingly unbearable.

In Tuoba An's mind, a woman should be gentle and kind, and should rely on him, the noble emperor, for everything. However, Ran Qi was always so sharp and aggressive, without any intention of being gentle.

It's a pity that Tuoba An seems to have forgotten that the original owner had such a personality when they first met. At that time, she was walking alone in this treacherous palace, and never thought of relying on anyone. She relied on her own wisdom and scheming to plan her way of survival step by step, and only then was she able to survive until now.

It is a pity that things are unpredictable. The qualities that Tuoba An admired in the past have become the source of his disgust today. He once admired the original owner's foresight; but now, he regards this strategy as full of calculations and scheming.

Anger was like a burning flame, while disgust was like a bone-chilling cold wind. The two emotions intertwined together, causing Tuoba An's originally calm tone to instantly become bad: "Don't forget, you are just a queen! Don't think you can do whatever you want with this crown!"

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to pierce her with his eyes.

"Humph, of course you can be the queen, but I can also ruthlessly depose you!"

Tuoba An's voice became increasingly high-pitched, full of threats. At this moment, he was already blinded by anger, and completely disregarded the dignity and demeanor that he should have as an emperor.

However, facing Tuoba An's furious roar, Ran Qi remained unusually calm and composed.

She leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, then slowly put the cup down, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a scornful smile: "Then Your Majesty might as well give it a try and see if you have the ability to depose me as the queen?" Her eyes were as clear as water, without the slightest fear, but instead revealed a firmness and confidence.

"How dare you!" Seeing that Ran Qi dared to contradict him like this, Tuoba An was so angry that he trembled all over. He threw his sleeves violently and shouted loudly, "You are really getting more and more outrageous! Are you going to ride on my head again in a few days?"

After saying that, he slammed the table so hard that the tea set on the table almost fell to the ground.

"I dare not, I just told the truth!"

Tuoba An was extremely angry, but at this moment he really couldn't depose the queen for such a small matter, and if this matter were to get out, it would only be disadvantageous to him.

The original owner not only held the position of empress, but also had many people in the court as her relatives. In addition, with the help of Yan'er, a time traveler, she had long been known as the richest man. Without the original owner's order, not even Tuoba An could mobilize all that wealth.

Tuoba An could only hold back his anger and said, "Queen, please shut yourself up in the palace and reflect on your actions."
