Since she lost power, Concubine Qing has become increasingly mentally disturbed. She had been planning painstakingly for so long, but she did not expect to suffer setbacks one after another.

She was originally a few years older than the emperor, and now her face became more and more haggard, and the few white hairs on her head were pulled out and grown again. She no longer had the energy to fight those young women.

However, the son she had finally gotten was half disabled. Not only could he not help her at all, but he only held her back.

She was too tired. All the people she had placed in the Imperial Household Department, the Imperial Observatory, and the High Heaven Palace were eliminated...

She no longer had any real rights and only had the empty title of Concubine Qing, so she is now gradually going crazy, and when she is in a bad mood, she takes out her anger on her two adopted sons and daughters.

Nanny Wu brought the palm board and handed it to Concubine Qing with both hands.

After seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but clench the corner of his clothes in fear, but after meeting Concubine Qing's sharp eyes, he still stretched out his hands obediently.

"Snap!" Chen Xi clenched her teeth. A burning pain came from the palm of her hand, making her subconsciously retract her hand.

"Stretch it out!" Concubine Qing yelled.

"You dare to hide now, don't you? What did you mean by calling the emperor just now? Are you trying to tell the emperor that I treat you badly?"

Chen Xi shook his head like a rattle and denied it again and again.

"Empress Qing... Chen Xi hasn't seen his father for a long time, so he was distracted for a moment! Just hit me!" Chen Xi stretched out his hands.

Concubine Qing smiled. How could she not see what this yellow-haired girl was thinking? She just wanted to take all the blame on herself so that Chen Yi could escape the disaster!

"Not only will I beat you, I won't let your brother go either!"

"Chen Yi behaved very well today. He fell asleep after taking the knockout drug and could have been spared physical pain. But you! It was you who harmed him! You talked too much in front of the emperor, and forced me to punish him as well!" Concubine Qing pointed at Chen Xi and said.

After hearing this, Chen Xi was shocked and said, "Empress Qing, please forgive my brother! It's all Chen Xi's fault!"

Outdoors

The palace maids saw the emperor and Concubine Yu turn back.

He immediately bowed and greeted, "Your servant greets His Majesty, and greets Concubine Yu! I will report to Concubine Gui right away!"

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "No need to report it deliberately. I just left something behind. I took it and left!"

Palace Person: "Yes."

After the two of them walked out of the yard, they heard crackling sounds coming from inside.

Xiao Rui looked at Song Qingwan in confusion.

"You little bitch! I told you not to talk too much! I told you not to talk too much!" This was the voice of Concubine Qing.

In Xiao Rui's impression, he had never heard such a sarcastic voice from Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing had always been so approachable and amiable.

Xiao Rui pushed open the door in disbelief and happened to see Concubine Qing pinching Chen Xi's face. The girl had fair skin to begin with, and when it was pinched like that, her skin turned red instantly.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Rui asked

When Concubine Qing saw that the Emperor had come back, she panicked and pushed Chen Xi behind Nanny Wu.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, why are you back again? Hehe, did you leave anything behind?"

Song Qingwan replied, "In reply to the Imperial Concubine, I did leave something here. Your Majesty, I came with you to retrieve it. I just don't know what the Imperial Concubine is doing to the Fourth Princess."

Imperial Concubine Qing winked at Nanny Wu, asking her to take Chen Xi away immediately. She responded by saying, "The children are still young and don't know right from wrong. If they make a mistake, they must be taught a lesson. It's nothing. Nanny Wu! Take the fourth princess away quickly!"

Nanny Wu took Chen Xi and left.

"Wait." Xiao Rui said

After hearing this, Aunt Wu was frozen in place, thinking, this is really the end...

Xiao Rui originally wanted to go forward and take Chen Xi's hand, bring her over, and take a good look at the redness and swelling on her face, but he never expected to see the shocking scars on her arms.

"What's going on?" Xiao Rui asked

Imperial Concubine Qing looked at Nanny Wu, who knelt down and took all the blame on herself. "Your Majesty... Yes, it was this old servant! I have been a servant all my life, and I cannot bear to see that the Fourth Princess has been living a life of luxury since she was born. So, I criticized the Fourth Princess more and tortured her severely..."

Xiao Rui: "Bold!"

"Come here, cut off her head and behead her in public!"

When Nanny Wu heard this, she panicked and begged desperately, "Madam, save me! Fourth Princess, save me! Your Majesty, spare my life!"

As her voice became weaker and weaker, she was dragged out of the hall.

At this moment, Concubine Qing felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.

"Your Majesty...I never thought that Nanny Wu would be such a person. If you want to blame someone, blame me! It was my blindness that I entrusted the Fourth Princess to a bad person..."

Song Qingwan just looked at her and gave a feeble explanation, then said to Chen Xi, "Chen Xi, Nanny Wu treated you so badly, didn't you tell the Imperial Concubine and let her make the decision for you?"

Chen Xi looked at Concubine Qing and then at Song Qingwan. Although she was young, she knew in her heart that Concubine Yu came to rescue her, otherwise why would she leave and then come back with her father.

Chen Xi couldn't help but burst into tears in Xiao Rui's arms, and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

Concubine Qing was so angry that she stopped him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Chen Xi cried and said, "Chen Xi is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, my father will send a doctor to see my brother. Concubine Qing knew that my father would come today, so she ordered people to give my brother a large amount of knockout drug. He has passed out and has not woken up yet."

"What do you mean brother is seriously ill again? It's actually all because of Concubine Qing. She has been giving brother medicine that weakens his body so that he will die sooner, and she can be free sooner!"

Concubine Qing said with a face full of grievance, "I didn't! Over the years, I have always treated the two children as my own, and the emperor has seen it all..."

Xiao Rui looked at his own daughter, with tears on his face, accusing the person who had been by his side for many years.

Finally, he said, "Someone, go get the imperial physician!"

Song Qingwan also echoed, "Don't be excited, Your Majesty. The imperial physician will know who is right and who is wrong once he comes. I believe he will not "wrongly accuse" the imperial concubine~"

In the Imperial Hospital

Someone came to ask for Doctor Chen. At first, Doctor Chen was listless and even wanted to take a nap while sitting. But after asking so many people!

When Doctor Chen heard that it was about Concubine Qing, he immediately became alert, packed his medicine box and went to the Yanx Palace!

He has been waiting for this day for too long!
