All the evidence pointed to the Queen Mother. She tried to make excuses at first, but her lies seemed pale and powerless in the face of irrefutable evidence.

After learning the truth, the emperor was heartbroken by the queen mother's cruelty, but he also understood that this was a scandal in the royal family.

In Kunning Palace, Xie Chenning considerately persuaded Wei Ming not to make a big fuss about the matter so as not to affect the reputation of the royal family.

Seeing that Xie Chenning was thinking so much about the overall situation, Wei Ming felt extremely guilty towards her, but he still followed the Queen's advice. After all, the person behind the scenes was actually his own mother.

In the end, the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest in her own Cining Palace, losing contact with the outside world and all the power in her hands.

Under the careful care of Imperial Physician Yang, Xie Chenning gradually recovered and the fetus in her belly was saved.

*

Empress Xie Chenning was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and has been the apple of her family's eye since childhood.

Duke Zhenguo Xie Feisi had made great military achievements and rendered outstanding contributions to the imperial court. He commanded a large number of troops and had a very high prestige in the army.

The queen's younger brother, Xie Chenpin, is the leader among the younger generation. He has inherited his father's style and has shown his talent at a young age.

The Xie family is a loyal and brave family, and they hold an important position in the court.

The fact that the queen had been murdered time and again was eventually revealed, and the Xie family had already known about it.

The Xie family had spies in the court and the army, and they were aware of any movement in the palace.

At first, they thought it was just some minor disputes in the harem and Xie Chenning could handle it.

But as things became more serious, the Xie family realized the seriousness of the situation.

Especially for the Duke of Zhenguo Xie Feisi, when he heard that his most beloved daughter suffered such injustice in the palace, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

The sun was shining, but there was a depressing atmosphere in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Xie Feisi was wearing court robes but no official hat. His brows were furrowed and his eyes revealed murderous intent.

When he heard the news, his face turned pale. He had fought on the battlefield all his life and had never let his family suffer such injustice.

In his heart, although his daughter was the queen, she was also his child who was raised in the palm of his hand and would not be bullied by others.

After reading the letter from Xie Chenning, Xie Feisi clenched his fist in anger, "Humph, this is too much! Do you really think the Xie family has no one left? If Zhizhi hadn't been prepared, he would have been badly harmed by that vicious woman. Today, I will definitely seek an explanation for my son!"

After Duke Xie Feisi finished speaking, he quickly put on his armor. The armor that symbolized glory and military exploits shone with a cold light in the sun, as if telling of the anger of its owner.

He swiftly mounted his warhorse and, leading a team of elite soldiers, galloped towards the palace.

At the same time, Xie Chenpin also learned about his sister's experience.

He was young and energetic, and he couldn't wait to fly to Kunning Palace.

Xie Chenpin, with his trusted men, met his father in front of the palace gate.

The queen suffered some injustice in the palace. Outsiders did not know what kind of injustice it was, but judging from the reactions of the father and son of the Duke of Zhenguo, it must have been a great insult.

When the palace guards saw that it was the Duke of Zhenguo and his son, even though they wanted to stop them, they were too scared to step forward when they saw Xie Feisi's murderous eyes and the aggressive army behind him. After all, he was the great war god of the Wei Dynasty and his reputation was very impressive.

The Duke of Zhenguo and his son went straight to Kunning Palace where Xie Chenning was. The sound of horse hooves beat out rapid drum beats on the stone pavement of the imperial palace, startling the birds in the palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids along the way all moved out of the way and looked at the scene with horror.

Although Zhenguogong was dignified on weekdays, he was also abiding by the rules and had never barged into the harem so recklessly.

The people in the harem had never seen such a scene, as if a storm was about to sweep across the entire palace.

When they arrived in front of Kunning Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids guarding the gate were stunned and stared at the scene in a daze.

"Go and inform the Queen quickly, and tell her that the Duke of Zhenguo Xie Feisi wants to see you."

The Duke of Zhenguo's voice was like a huge bell, shaking everyone's eardrums.

The eunuchs and palace maids reacted and did not dare to delay, so they rushed in to report.

When Xie Chenning heard that his father was coming, he quickly got up from the couch.

Although she had sent a message to report that she was safe, she knew her father's temper and knew that he came here because he had bullied her in the palace.

She quickly tidied her appearance and came out to greet him.

When she saw her father's dignified yet distressed face, she opened her mouth and whispered, "Father...Pin'er...why are you here?"

Duke Zhenguo felt distressed when he saw his daughter's haggard face.

"Don't be afraid, my daughter. Come back with me. We won't stay in this palace anymore."

Xie Chenpin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Sister, whoever bullied you, I will never forgive him!"

Xie Chenning shook her head slightly. She didn't want to put the family in more trouble because of her own affairs, but Xie Feisi and Xie Chenpin had made up their minds.

They helped the queen onto the carriage and headed out of the palace. Along the way, no one dared to stop them.

A lot of people had gathered around, and the concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs in the harem were watching from a distance and whispering.

They were all shocked by the Duke of Zhenguo's actions, which had never happened before.

Some concubines with ulterior motives sneered in secret, waiting to see the queen make a fool of herself. They thought that the Xie family's behavior was extremely treasonous and they would definitely be punished by the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Wei Ming was in the imperial study. When he heard the news that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son broke into Kunning Palace and took away the queen, his brows furrowed.

It's not that he didn't want to do something, but the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was huge, and the prestige of the Xie family in the army made him wary.

Moreover, he was well aware that he was in the wrong this time. He was not completely unaware of the injustice suffered by the Queen, but he did not handle it properly for various reasons.

Wei Ming waited until Xie Feisi and the others were about to leave the palace before he hurried over.

He frowned when he saw the scene in front of him, "Duke Zhenguo, what do you mean?"

Xie Feisi glanced at Wei Ming without any fear in his eyes. "Your Majesty, my daughter has suffered a lot in the palace. I cannot bear to watch her suffer. I will take her back to the palace today. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

The Duke of Zhenguo spoke sincerely, but his tone left no room for doubt.

The emperor felt guilty. He knew what the queen had gone through in the palace. Although he wanted to protect her, the affairs of the harem were complicated and he was somewhat powerless.

"Duke Zhenguo, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will give justice to the Queen. You can take the Queen back to the palace to rest first."

"Your Majesty, I no longer believe in any of your promises. I will take my daughter away today." The Duke of Zhenguo was firm.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, and the emperor's face turned gloomy.

But he also knew the prestige of the Duke of Zhenguo and the influence of the Xie and Jiang families in the court. Now that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son had the guts to openly break into the palace to take the queen away, if he forcibly stopped them, it would probably cause more dissatisfaction in the Xie family, and the consequences would not be something he could bear.

So he didn't dare to stop it. Not only did he not have the ability to stop it, he didn't even dare to step forward to stop it.

They can only let them take the queen away.
