A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

When Yingcan heard the Queen Mother say that the young lady must be saved, she thought that she was willing to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, even at the cost of the young lady's life!

After hearing this, the queen showed a brief expression of satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted to see.

Only Xiao Rui stood up and said loudly, "No! Everyone must be protected! Nothing can happen to anyone! Otherwise, I will hold you accountable!"

The emperor was so furious that the midwife trembled and replied, "Yes, yes, I will do my best..."

No one expected the emperor to react so strongly. The life of a mere concubine was not as important as the safe birth of the royal heir.

The Queen Mother was also stunned.

At this time, the Queen added fuel to the fire, "Mother, the Emperor wants to save everyone, but I'm afraid it will be in vain... If by then, both the child and the adult are not saved, wouldn't it be too late to regret it... It's better to make a decision early."

The Queen Mother was very upset after hearing this. She was also afraid that she would not be able to see her two precious grandsons anymore, so she tentatively said, "Emperor, why don't you..."

Xiao Rui interrupted the Queen Mother's words that she was about to say.

"Empress, as the mother of the country, you openly cursed the concubines and the unborn heir. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

When the queen saw that the emperor was angry, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I am wrong. I know I am wrong. I just spoke nonsense in a moment of desperation."

When the palace maids saw the queen kneeling, they also knelt down.

When the Queen Mother saw this situation, she acted as a peacemaker.

"Alright, Queen, please get up soon. Emperor, please don't bother with the Queen. She is also thinking about Daqing's heir."

Xiao Rui didn't say anything.

The Queen Mother then said to the Queen, "There are so many palace servants watching us. You are the Queen after all. Get up quickly."

The Queen then stood up.

Feeling the burning gazes of the servants around her, the queen was filled with hatred!

The queen was very dissatisfied with the emperor's favoritism towards Song Qingwan. At first, she thought that the emperor was only interested in Song Qingwan for a while and would have nothing to do with her after a while.

Unexpectedly, the emperor became more and more crazy about Song Qingwan, as if he had been bewitched by her!

For the sake of a little noblewoman like Song Qingwan, she actually criticized the queen in public, making her lose face. Thinking of this, the queen wanted to get rid of Song Qingwan as soon as possible!

"Mother, Xia Lu seems to be outside." The Queen pretended to look around casually.

The queen thought viciously, if you don't let me live, I won't let you live easily either! She deliberately brought up the matter of Xia Lu!

After the Queen mentioned this, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered that Xia Lu had been disrespectful to her just now, and she had not yet held him accountable!

"Quick! Let him in!"

Xiao Rui first glanced at the Queen, then said to the Queen Mother, "I wonder why your mother asked Xia Lu to come in?"

The Queen Mother angrily relayed, "I saw him as soon as I entered Yufangzhai. He was sneaking around and I don't know what he was taking. This is the harem where the concubines live after all. I asked him to open it and take a look, but he actually said he only obeyed the emperor's orders!"

Xiao Rui also roughly understood what was going on.

To make the Queen Mother so angry, the Queen must have instigated it.

Xiao Rui cleared his throat and said, "Xia Lu, come in."

When Xia Lu heard the emperor calling her, she walked in.

The queen saw that he had nothing in his hands, so she asked, "Where is the thing in your hands? Why don't you bring it in?"

The Queen Mother agreed, "Yes, didn't you say that it can only be opened with the Emperor's password?"

Xia Lu replied, "Her Majesty, the Queen, the things are outside the door. Whether to bring them in or not depends on the Emperor's order."

After hearing what Xia Lu said, the Queen Mother turned to look at Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui was not panicked at all and said calmly, "Since the Queen Mother wants to see it, bring it in."

The queen was standing aside, waiting to see the show begin.

Yingcan mingled with the palace maids, not knowing what they were up to. She could only hope that her mistress would give birth safely.

Xia Lu brought the box in from outside, fiddled with it for a few times, and then opened it.

After opening it, it was empty!

The Queen and the Queen Mother both looked shocked and incredulous.

Especially the Queen, she had already concluded that there should be a dead baby inside to be used as a substitute for a son! How come it was empty? Could it be that after she and the Queen Mother came in, Xia Lu had already switched the box outside? Or did she hide the dead baby?

It must be like this. Just now at the door, the Queen Mother made trouble, and Xia Lu must have hidden the dead baby. However, in just a short while, the outside was surrounded like an iron barrel by the people he brought with him. At this time, he must still be in Yufangzhai!

The Queen Mother said in confusion, "There is clearly nothing in here, why do you have to be so mysterious and not show it to me?"

Xiao Rui said, "Xia Lu has always been loyal. Without my orders, he would not say a word and would not do anything without my approval."

Xia Lu bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!"

Seeing the deep affection between the two of them as master and servant, the Queen Mother did not continue to make things difficult for them and said, "Okay then."

"But, why did he bring a box here for no reason? What was he going to do?"

Xiao Rui smiled vaguely and said, "Nothing, it's newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I thought that Lady Yu has twins and needs a lot of things, so I asked Xia Lu to bring it all."

The Queen Mother nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Now he was completely focused, and threw himself on the heir in Song Qingwan's belly, saying, "It's been so long, why is there no movement at all?"

Xiao Rui said, "Don't worry, mother. If you are tired, you can go back to Shoukang Palace to rest. I will wait here."

The Queen Mother said, "Not tired, not tired."

The Queen looked at the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the deep love between the mother and son. It seemed that the Queen Mother really did not intend to pursue the matter of the box.

The queen came up with an idea and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, my bracelet is missing!"

The Queen Mother asked, "What bracelet? If it's just an ordinary one, it's fine if it's lost. I can just ask the palace maids to make another one."

The Queen said anxiously, "She is not an ordinary Queen Mother. She was given to me by the Emperor when I first entered the palace. Because of the relationship between the Emperor and me, I must find her!"

"I must have been in a hurry when I came here, and I lost it..."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen's anxious expression and said, "Okay, then you can take people down to look for her first. It's good enough that I and the Emperor are here."

After getting the Queen Mother's answer, the Queen stood up and said, "Yes, I will go down first!"

The queen thought, even if she had to dig three feet into the ground, she must turn Yufangzhai upside down!

Seeing that the queen was suddenly doing something, Yingcan quickly lowered his head and walked out with the queen's maids, wanting to see what the queen was going to do!

Xiao Rui looked at the queen's departing back, his eyes slightly narrowed, and watched her act quietly!
