Xiwu Palace

Concubine Shen sat on the couch with a worried look on her face, frowning slightly and said, "Zhenzhu, why do you think I have been taking care of myself for so long, but there is still no news?"

After hearing this, Pearl smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. You are still young. Maybe it's not your destiny yet. It will come naturally when it's time!"

Concubine Shen sighed softly, "Oh, I wish. I have been in the palace for so long, and I still have no pregnancy. My status is still just that of a noble..."

"Yupin entered the palace with me. Not only was her family background not as good as mine, she was also just a concubine. Now, after giving birth to two children, she has become Yupin. The emperor also granted her the magnificent Jingyang Palace. How can I not be anxious!"

Pearl didn't know what to say anymore.

I had to talk about other things to try to divert my master's attention.

"My lady, do you know? I heard that there was a fire in Lingxiao Palace!"

Lady Shen was not very interested and said casually, "Lingxiao Palace? Why did Lingxiao Palace catch fire out of nowhere? Aren't there princes and princesses living there? Whose room caught fire?"

Zhenzhu said, "I heard that the Third Prince's room caught fire. Another thing is that many people saw the Queen dressed as a palace maid and sneaked into the Lingxiao Palace."

When Concubine Shen heard this, her back, which had been leaning carelessly on the couch just now, straightened up instantly!

"The Third Prince's room caught fire. The Third Prince is the biggest threat to the Second Prince. But the Queen changed into a maid's clothes and sneaked into the High Heaven Palace. Isn't it obvious that she did it?"

Pearl nodded and said, "Yes, there are rumors all over the palace right now, and that's what they're saying!"

Concubine Shen curled her lips and smiled, "That's really interesting, but this queen is really weird, does she really need to do this kind of thing herself~"

Pearl was also puzzled. "Yes, my lady, it is too risky for the Queen to do this. She will be discovered if she is not careful. Why not send someone else to do it?"

"Also, hasn't the Queen been ill recently? Why did she suddenly appear in Lingxiao Palace in high spirits?"

Concubine Shen speculated, "Could it be that...she pretended to be sick before, in order to clear herself of suspicion for what she was about to do?"

Pearl: "That's unacceptable."

Concubine Shen stood up and said, "Come on, help me dress up, and then accompany me to Lingxiao Palace to see how the third prince is doing!"

Pearl looked at the young lady who was listless just now, and suddenly she became motivated. After helping Concubine Shen to sit down in front of the dressing table, Pearl asked:

"My lady, why are we suddenly going to the High Heaven Palace? Do we want the Emperor to remember our friendship?"

Concubine Shen smiled and said, "On the one hand, it's because the emperor remembers our friendship, and on the other hand, the third prince has had such an incident. I'm afraid that given the character of our current emperor, he will definitely find a foster mother to take care of him!"

While Zhenzhu was dressing up Noble Lady Shen, she said, "But, as a noble lady, your qualifications are very low, so it shouldn't be our turn..."

Shen Guiren replied, "Of course it's not our turn, it's not our turn, but it can be the turn of others~"

Yangxindian

Bihu's words instantly angered the queen.

The queen pointed at Bihu and yelled, "You little bitch! What nonsense are you talking about!"

The emperor interrupted the queen's scolding and said to her, "Shut up and let her speak!"

Bihu glanced at the queen with a guilty conscience, then quickly turned her eyes away and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I can't stand it anymore, so I can't help but stand up and testify against the queen..."

"The fire in the High Heaven Palace... indeed, it was set by the Empress. The Empress had planned this several days ago."

The queen stared at Bihu in astonishment. She had clearly gone to the Lingxiao Palace to visit her son, so how could she be called an arsonist? !

And it was this Bihu who had been urging me to go and see Chenyu, plus I was really worried about Chenyu. It seemed that this Bihu had set a trap for me and was waiting for me to fall into it!

After hearing this, Xiao Rui thought of his own son Chen Yi, who lost his mother at a young age, and was sensible and pitiful, lying unconscious on the bed.

Thinking of how Chen Yi had been hurt, his eyes darkened and he said to Bihu, "Keep talking!"

Bihu stammered, "The Queen wore my clothes on purpose and asked me to work with her to escape. I knew it was wrong, but I have worked for the Queen for many years and she knows me inside and out. I dare not disobey her..."

The Queen was furious and couldn't help but scold, "You have worked under me for so many years, and now you are biting me back!"

Xiao Rui glanced at the Queen and said, "Queen, I didn't ask you to reply! I think you are becoming more and more presumptuous!"

After hearing what Xiao Rui said, the queen had to shut her mouth, but she kept staring at Bihu to see what else would come out of her mouth.

Xiao Rui asked, "As the head of the palace, why would the queen do this?"

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but want to interrupt again.

"Yes, I also want to know, as the master of the harem, why do I do this? You are here to frame me with empty words!"

Xiao Rui said impatiently, "Queen!"

The queen knew better and stopped talking...

Bihu tightly grasped the corner of her clothes in her hands, and sweat dripped down her head due to nervousness.

"Your Majesty, it was your imperial decree a few days ago that deposed the eldest son and appointed the most virtuous as the crown prince, which made the queen very confused..."

"The Queen said that this imperial decree was aimed at the Second Prince... The Second Prince is both the legitimate son and the eldest son, and it is clear that all civil and military officials, as well as the ministers of the royal family, know that the Second Prince has no hope of ascending the throne..."

"The Third Prince is two years younger than the Second Prince, but he is better than the Second Prince in everything. Your Majesty is so angry that she came up with this idea and prepared..."

Xiao Rui said solemnly, "What are you preparing for?"

Bihu replied, "Prepare, prepare to burn the third prince to death... The other princes are still too young. After the third prince dies, the emperor can only appoint the second prince as the crown prince..."

When Xiao Rui heard the word "death", he threw everything on the table in front of him onto the ground and shouted "Asshole!"

When the Queen and Bihu saw the Emperor’s rage, they were so scared that they quickly knelt on the ground.

The Queen shook her head and explained, "Your Majesty, I didn't...I didn't..."
