"What's the matter?" the emperor asked in a deep voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

The father-in-law outside the door answered cautiously, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Shu is here to bring you lotus seed soup and tell you to relieve your anger."

The emperor snorted coldly and cursed angrily, "Get rid of the anger? I got angry when I saw her and told her to get out."

There was suddenly no movement outside the door.

After a while, I suddenly heard a burst of crying, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Your Majesty, don't you know what kind of person I am? There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. I beg Your Majesty to understand clearly."

When the emperor heard that she ignored etiquette and shouted directly outside the door, his face turned dark with anger.

"Let her come in. I want to see if there is any misunderstanding." The emperor said angrily.

Just as he was talking, he said he was tired and wanted to drink something to quench his thirst, but this little slave couldn't even get a cup of tea.

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the man in black robe.

The man in black robe sneered and hid, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

When will these days of hiding come to an end?

The door opened, and after Concubine Shu came in, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The emperor glanced behind her, but found nothing.

The emperor's face turned dark, "Where's the lotus seed soup?"

Concubine Shu's face froze when she was about to cry, so she just said it casually.

The emperor looked gloomy and was too lazy to talk to her.

Concubine Shu cried, "Your Majesty, my concubine was wrongly accused, and Yan'er must have been slandered. Please investigate this matter thoroughly."

The emperor sneered, "Unjustly accused? How come you don't even know what your good son did?"

Concubine Shu was stunned and looked at the emperor in bewilderment. Wasn't it the fact that the fourth prince had revealed that he had been lingering in the Fireworks Willow Land?

What else could happen?

Seeing that she was clueless, the emperor's expression softened a bit.

He thought it was his good concubine who instigated it, but it seemed that his son was too arrogant.

"Read it for yourself." The emperor threw the memorial on the side in front of Concubine Shu and said coldly.

He was so angry.

"Liu Decai, are you dead? Do you want me to die of thirst?" the emperor roared at the door.

Concubine Shu's hand holding the memorial shook, and she felt embarrassed. It turned out that the emperor had just asked her if she was thirsty for soup.

It seems that she can no longer afford nothing in the future, what if the emperor summons her like today.

The father-in-law outside the door hurriedly came in with a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. Your Majesty, I forgive you."

Concubine Shu looked pale after reading the memorial. How could this happen?

How could her Yan'er recruit troops and do such a treasonous thing?

No, that's impossible, impossible.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding. Yan'er must have been slandered." Concubine Shu kowtowed and explained quickly.

The emperor looked at her with a serious look, "Oh? You said slander just now, and now you say slander again. What did the previous slander mean to slander him?"

Concubine Shu kowtowed for a moment and her whole body trembled, "Your Majesty, I am my concubine..."

"Say!" The emperor uttered one word, and the pressure of the emperor rushed towards her face. Concubine Shu's legs became weak.

Sensing that the emperor was impatient, Concubine Shu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Yan'er is still young, and it is common sense for Yan'er to be somewhat curious about the outside world. Please don't blame him, Your Majesty."

"The outside world? Hehe, you will cover it up for him. Is it a small matter that a dignified prince spends all day doing nothing but staying at the fireworks place?"

The emperor continued, "He is doing nothing so that I don't notice him, so that he can secretly recruit troops and usurp the throne, right?"

As soon as the word "usurping the throne" came out, Concubine Shu was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Then he came to his senses and hurriedly got up and said, "Please forgive me, please forgive me. Your Majesty, Yan'er must have been instigated by a traitor. This must not be his original intention."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Humph, what is his original intention? To kill me?"

The imperial concubine hurriedly explained, "No, no, Your Majesty, it's not like this..."

The emperor didn't want to talk nonsense to her, "Come here, take the imperial concubine back to the palace. The weather has been dry these days, so just stay in the palace."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu wanted to say something more, but was pulled out by the guards coming in from outside the door.

The emperor stared at the closed door and questioned, "Do you think she really doesn't know?"

The man in black robe gave a cold smile, "The women in your harem are all good at singing. It's not the first day you know this."

The emperor looked at the memorial that was placed on the table again by his father-in-law and sighed.

"I thought that the third child was good, but he disappointed me so much. Now, only the fourth and seventh princes of mine are capable. This matter..."

The man in black robe sneered, "Then let your people investigate. Don't wrongly accuse the Seventh Prince who wants to sit in your seat."

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother knelt down on the mat and read Buddhist scriptures.

The grandmother on the side also knelt behind.

After a while, the Queen Mother opened her eyes, kowtowed respectfully, and then raised her hand.

Mammy stood up quickly with quick hands and eyes, and helped the Queen Mother to stand up.

The Queen Mother put her hand on Mammy's arm and said calmly as she walked out, "Concubine Shu goes to see the Emperor?"

Mammy replied in a low voice, "Yes, I went to see the Emperor and cried a lot. I think I angered the Emperor and was imprisoned so that I could reflect on it."

The Queen Mother was expressionless, "She can't reach the palace of elegance. The emperor took pity on her and asked her to be a noble concubine, but she didn't cherish it and insisted on going to the edge of the knife."

Mammy sighed, helped the Queen Mother sit on the couch outside, and then neatly handed the Queen Mother a cup of tea.

"What the Queen Mother said is that some people just don't have that fate." Mammy stood aside and said with a smile.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and curled her lips, "You understand me best."

"No news from the border?" asked the Queen Mother.

"I heard that the princess brought two thousand people from the Divine Doctor Valley to the battlefield to help the regent." Mammy replied.

The Queen Mother's hand shook and the tea spilled out. She ignored her wet clothes and asked hurriedly, "Is the news reliable?"

"This is a message personally sent by the imperial guard left behind by the late emperor." Mammy replied in a low voice.

The Queen Mother stiffened in disbelief, "The Divine Medical Valley is involved in the Four Kingdoms War, so why would you listen to that girl? What is her relationship with the Divine Medical Valley? Has anyone found out?"

"No, the information I learned is that the princess was chased by someone and entered the ghost forest in a panic. Then she was rescued by the people from the Valley of Divine Doctors. Later, she was moved by the story of the princess and the regent, and then she sent someone to help the regent."

The Queen Mother smiled, "Who made up this nonsense? If Divine Doctor Valley doesn't want to save people, no one in the world would dare to save them. Although they have the world at heart, they are not pity people."

"Continue to keep an eye on the border area. People should also keep an eye on Lao Qi and Lao Si. Don't cause too much trouble." The Queen Mother ordered again.

Mammy was confused, "Your Majesty, you never cared about these things in the past, so why are you suddenly concerned about the position of Crown Prince?"

The Queen Mother sighed, "I used to think that the one who was the third child was the third child. There was nothing to argue about, and it would save trouble. Now the emperor only has these two accomplished sons, so nothing can happen to him."

"Yes, Queen Mother, I will let the imperial guards keep an eye on it right now." After saying that, Mammy withdrew.
