Everyone saw the Queen's relentless pressure and lack of respect, and everyone also saw the Emperor's anger and rage.

Everyone thought that the Emperor threw the Queen away in public and was going to punish her severely. The four of them were very happy when Li Chang, who was beaten and scolded by the Queen.

But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Queen Mother, who had served the Emperor for more than ten years, finally became pregnant!

Upon hearing such good news, Ruyi and Rong Pei were naturally overjoyed, but everyone else had very complicated feelings.

Li Changzai and the others were of course very angry. The Queen was pregnant, and they had offended her this time. They were afraid that their lives would be difficult in the future.

Li Yu should have been happy, but ever since惢心 got married, Li Yu was no longer as loyal to Yikun Palace as before.

Coupled with today's conflict, Li Yu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Jinzhong didn't expect that the queen would offend the emperor in such a suicidal way. Seeing the emperor getting angry, God sent the queen a child to rescue her.

Suddenly, Jinzhong felt that Yanwan was really foresighted. If Yanwan had listened to him and offered the deer blood wine herself, the queen would have disliked Yanwan to begin with, and now that she was pregnant, would she still have a good life in the future?

Thinking of this, Jinzhong felt that apart from achieving his goal of making the Queen offend people today, it was a great fortune that Yan Wan was able to stay out of it.

The emperor was surprised and happy. He had always hoped that God would give him another legitimate son. However, because of Linglingxiang, Ruyi was over 30 and still not pregnant. Now she was suddenly pregnant. How could the emperor not be happy?

But since Ruyi became the queen, she often targeted Concubine Ling for no apparent reason and treated Rong Pei as a treasure because of her poor judgment of people.

She also revealed the news about pregnancy medicine and astronomical phenomena to Shu Fei. The emperor also learned that Ruyi knew that Mo Xin was going to harm the Seventh Prince, but she chose not to report it.

After several times, the emperor felt resentful. Although he was happy that Ruyi was pregnant, his feelings for her were somewhat reduced.

The emperor helped Ruyi up and patiently comforted her, "Ruyi, this is really great news. You are pregnant, so you shouldn't get angry. Go back to Yikun Palace to rest first. I will go to Yikun Palace to see you after I leave the court."

Having said that, the emperor was about to leave.

Although Ruyi was happy, she did not forget her purpose. "So how does the emperor plan to deal with Li Changzai and the other two?"

The emperor would not be wrong. Ruyi, as the queen, was pregnant, so she could not be punished. Since she was just a concubine, it was no big deal to receive some punishment.

The emperor said indifferently: "You are the queen, so it is up to you to deal with them. But they didn't do it on purpose, so just give them a light punishment and a severe warning."

Ruyi nodded, feeling that Li Yu's recent behavior was not right. If she could not take this opportunity to suppress him, she was afraid that Li Yu would not be willing to work for her in the future.

And there was Jinzhong, who was always at odds with Rong Pei and Yikun Palace, but I heard that he also often spoke well of Concubine Ling in front of the Emperor.

Ruyi reminded him, "I understand. It was Jinzhong who was beside Li Yu who failed to report the matter in time that caused the emperor to do such an absurd thing. I think Jinzhong should also be punished lightly so that the palace people can be taught to do their duty."

How could Li Yu and Jin Zhong not know what Ruyi meant? Jin Zhong was a deadly enemy of Ruyi. But Li Yu sneered in his heart, lamenting that he had misjudged Ruyi before, thinking that Ruyi was a good master who would understand her servants.

It seems that it was right for惢心 to take the risk and ask for help from Concubine Ling. Otherwise,惢心 would have to follow Ling...

No, Li Yu suddenly realized.

As the queen's most loyal maid,惢心 lived with the queen in the cold palace for three years and even broke a leg. However, the queen still refused to explain the misunderstanding to the emperor on her and Jiang Yubin's behalf.

Ling Yunche only took care of the queen in the cold palace for three years. Although he saved her life, he was transferred to work in the Yangxin Palace after he was released, which was considered as repayment.

But the Queen not only doted on Ling Yunche, she also did her utmost to protect Ling Yunche when he encountered theft in the palace, and even asked her to say those words of encouragement to Ling Yunche.

Comparing the two, there is such a big difference, it is really disheartening!

In order to protect himself, Li Yu was about to mention Ling Yunche to force the Queen to keep quiet, and also to test whether Ling Yunche was really that important in the Queen's heart.

Without waiting for Li Yu to speak, Ruyi and Rong Pei had repeatedly tried to bypass the emperor and teach the people in the Yangxin Palace a lesson, which had already aroused the emperor's strong dissatisfaction.

The emperor said: "Li Yu, Jin Zhong and Jin Bao are all my servants. I don't think they have failed in their duties. If the queen wants to discipline the palace servants, she should start with your Yikun Palace!"

Ruyi thought the emperor was talking about Lingzhi, so she said, "Lingzhi stopped Jinzhong from passing the message in time. I will punish Lingzhi after I return to the palace. But Jinzhong has been disrespectful to my head maid several times. Please let me punish Jinzhong!"

Lingzhi? The emperor looked up behind Rong Pei, and saw Lingzhi looking at Ruyi's back in disbelief with a slap mark on her face.

What does this have to do with Lingzhi? For the first time, the emperor felt that Ruyi didn't seem to understand what people were saying. Otherwise, why was it so difficult to talk to her?

The emperor took a deep breath and said directly, "I will take care of the people in Yangxin Palace. Even if you are the queen, you have no right to interfere! But Rong Pei in your palace hits people at every turn. She is really unruly!"

Ruyi was stunned. She felt that the emperor did not give her face. They were just two servants. As the master of the harem, couldn't she punish them?

That's fine. Rong Pei is the most loyal person to her. Why does the emperor have such a big prejudice against Rong Pei? Did Concubine Jia or Concubine Ling say bad things about Rong Pei in front of the emperor?

Ruyi retorted: "Your Majesty is wrong! Rong Pei knows the palace rules best. Since she entered Yikun Palace, everyone in the palace has been convinced, and the atmosphere in the palace has also been completely changed."

"Rong Pei is just more serious and doesn't know how to say soft words, just like a concubine. Your Majesty, please don't believe any rumors and misunderstand Rong Pei's intentions!"

Rong Pei was deeply moved by Ruyi's words. She felt that she would never hesitate to go through fire and water for the Empress.

The emperor was almost laughing with anger, and ordered directly: "Since the queen is reluctant to discipline him, let me do it for you. Come, beat this stubborn slave with thirty strokes of the cane!"

I watched as several eunuchs brought in a bench and pressed Rong Pei onto it.

Ruyi asked them to stop and pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding! Please forgive Rong Pei for once, considering that I am pregnant!"

The emperor was not moved at all and said to Jinzhong: "There are many servants in the palace, and Rongpei is not missing. Jinzhong, you keep an eye on it yourself!"

The emperor walked away, and Jinzhong did not move either. In front of Li Chang, who was beaten by Rong Pei, he ordered the young eunuch to hold Rong Pei and torture her.

Whether it was the Yikun Palace servants or other palace servants, they were all very familiar with Rong Pei's personality. Even though the Empress was present in person, it was the Emperor's order anyway, so they beat Rong Pei mercilessly and left her skin and flesh torn.

Everyone listened to Rong Pei's screams, and although they didn't show it on their faces, they were all delighted in their hearts.

It turns out that after being beaten, Aunt Rong Pei, who always loves to beat people, would also cry out in pain like them? They thought that this fierce woman Rong Pei was ignorant and insensitive to pain.

Your Majesty is truly wise. Now, let this evil woman Rong Pei have a good taste of being beaten and tortured!
