The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

After venting her anger, the queen slumped on the throne, her chest heaving violently, and gradually calmed down. She thought of her brother, and those properties... many of them were of unknown origin. This fact gave her a headache, and made her realize that her actions just now might bring greater trouble.

She glanced at the palace maids kneeling on the ground, their eyes were full of fear and anxiety. The queen knew that these palace maids might become the whistleblower of her brother's affairs. She couldn't give them the opportunity to tell others.

"You, go and call Nanny Gui over." The queen pointed at a palace maid, her tone regaining its dignity and calmness.

The maid didn't dare to say anything and quickly stood up and left the palace. The queen began to think about how to deal with the next matter. She couldn't let her brother's affairs affect her status and reputation, and she couldn't let those dirty things be exposed.

Soon, Nanny Gui hurried into the palace. The queen glanced at her and motioned her to come closer.

"Mammy, do you know why I have been able to sit firmly on the throne of Queen for so many years?" the Queen asked softly, her voice full of profound meaning.

The nanny bowed her head and answered respectfully: "Your Majesty is extremely wise and has great means. Naturally, she will be able to sit firmly on the throne of Queen."

The queen sneered and said, "It is important to have clever means, but it is more important to control your mouth and the people around you. I don't want any news about the left prime minister to leak out."

The nanny immediately understood what the queen meant. She quickly bowed her head and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. I will take care of it. I guarantee that no one will know what happened today."

The queen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go find a few reliable people and replace all the palace maids here."

Several palace maids heard this and wondered if they still didn't understand what the queen meant. They all knelt down and begged for mercy: "Queen, please spare me! I don't know anything."

"Please spare our lives, Your Majesty. I really didn't hear anything." Several palace maids kowtowed and shouted.

Nanny Gui was well-known in the palace for her ruthlessness. Her eyes were like the north wind in winter, which made people feel terrified. At this moment, she stood in the center of the palace, surrounded by several shivering palace maids, whose faces were full of fear and despair.

The maids knelt on the ground, holding onto Madam Gui's skirt tightly with their hands, begging for mercy with trembling voices. Their tears dripped onto the floor, forming small puddles. However, Madam Gui remained unmoved, and her eyes revealed ruthlessness and determination.

"How dare you, lowly servants, talk about the Empress's family affairs behind her back!" Nanny Gui shouted sternly. Her voice echoed in the palace, as if carrying a kind of magic, making the palace maids even more frightened.

As Nanny Gui finished her words, several burly eunuchs came forward. They had expressionless faces and stretched out their hands to grab the arms of the maids who were still begging for mercy. The maids struggled, but to no avail, and they were forcibly dragged away by the eunuchs.

"No! Mammy, please let us go! We know nothing." The maids begged for mercy one after another, but Mammy Gui turned a deaf ear to them. She just watched everything coldly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Finally, the maids were dragged out of the palace by the eunuchs, and their cries for mercy gradually faded away. Nanny Gui stood there, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. She knew that the maids had been dealt with thoroughly, and no one could leak the secret.

The queen's face was stern, her eyes flashing with anger. The palace was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, as if even the air had frozen.

Nanny Gui stood aside, her brows knitted, her heart filled with worry. She knew that the fire in the palace was a serious matter, and if the truth was not found out as soon as possible, it might threaten the position of the queen.

"Mammy, what do you think happened with this fire?" the queen asked in a deep voice, her voice revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Your Majesty, this fire is indeed a little strange. The people I sent didn't find anything. It is said that the biggest fires were in the Prime Minister's most important intelligence department. I suspect that someone may have deliberately set the fire behind this."

When the queen heard this, a trace of anger and confusion flashed in her eyes: "Who on earth knows so much about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Mammy, please send someone to investigate immediately. I want to know who is so bold as to touch the Prime Minister's Residence," the Queen's voice revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Nanny Gui nodded and quickly turned away. She knew that this matter was of great importance and she had to find out the truth as soon as possible to protect the queen's position from being threatened.
