The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

When the queen saw this, her eyes instantly became sinister.

Her eyes were like a sharp blade, staring at the pearl hairpin in Concubine Wei's hand.

The turmoil in my heart is like a stormy sea.

What went wrong!

Now, not only was Concubine Wei not poisoned to death, but even the traitorous palace maid was not afraid of death and turned her spearhead against herself.

The most important thing is that the emperor now seems to favor Concubine Wei.

Everything before my eyes seemed to be contrary to my expectations.

It seems that after today, I must ask my mother's family about what happened recently...

Forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, the look of surprise on the queen's face gradually disappeared.

She raised her proud chin and cast a disdainful look at Xiang Zhu: "You are just a lowly servant, and you want to slander me with a pearl hairpin. You deserve to die!"

Xiang Zhu is also a brave and careful person. She only wants to save her brother's life now and doesn't care about the pressure of the imperial power at all.

As soon as she heard the Queen's words, she guessed that she was going to kill her on the spot.

So before the queen could even yell, she spoke first in a shrill voice.

The piercing volume was enough to intimidate the queen, and she couldn't even utter the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Xiangzhu tried her best to shout at the top of her lungs: "This pearl hairpin is indeed from the Empress's palace. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised.

He had never seen a palace maid so bold, but when he thought about it carefully, if the physical evidence was false, why would she risk her life and ask him to check it himself?

"Bring up the pearl hairpin."

The emperor sat upright on the couch and waved to Eunuch Gao.

Then, Eunuch Gao took the pearl hairpin from Concubine Wei, placed it in a handkerchief and brought it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, be careful, there is poison in this pearl hairpin."

The emperor naturally understood this. He carefully picked up the end of the pearl hairpin and examined it carefully from beginning to end.

The queen stood there trembling, watching the emperor's every move anxiously.

As time went by, the Queen saw that the Emperor was still staring at the golden hairpin calmly, and her heart rose to her throat and cold sweat broke out all over her body.

There was nothing special about this pearl hairpin, except that she had worn it several times when she had attended palace banquets with the emperor.

The Emperor probably can't remember...

She was just hoping for a lucky break, but the emperor had already remembered that this pearl hairpin had appeared before him before.

He withdrew his thoughts, his brows slightly sank, and his gaze on the queen's face became more and more stern: "Queen, I remember that this is your jewelry, what else do you want to explain?"

The queen shivered at the emperor's cold gaze, and a bean-sized bead of sweat ran down her forehead.

The Emperor finally remembered...

How abominable!

She gritted her teeth in hatred, and immediately knelt before the emperor. Her eyelids wrinkled, and a few tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes: "Your Majesty, you can always find a pretext to accuse me of something. This damned servant must have stolen my things first, and then framed me for the poisoning!"

"This... this might be a trick of the Wei family. Their conspiracy with Nanyue has been exposed, but now they are not willing to give up and are teaming up with Concubine Wei to harm me, the queen!"

"enough!"

The emperor could no longer suppress the anger that had been accumulating in his chest for a long time. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, and the throbbing veins on his forehead were clearly visible.

Over the years, the Queen had been openly and covertly at odds with Concubine Wei, and he was actually aware of it.

It’s just that Concubine Wei knew the big picture and many things were not made public.

Moreover, the Xia family was very powerful, so as the emperor, he turned a blind eye and did not want to pursue the matter too much.

Now with the pearl hairpin in his hand, combined with the series of open and covert struggles in the court in recent days, he instantly understood the truth of the matter.

He didn't expose it just now, he was just giving the queen the last bit of face.

But who would have thought that the Queen would mention the Wei family at this time, which just hit his sore spot.

"You are a truly competent queen. Even I was almost deceived by you!"

"Your Majesty, my concubine..."

The queen collapsed on the ground, not knowing how to refute.

Because she had seen from the emperor's expression that no matter how she explained today, it would be difficult to clear herself of suspicion.

Is it because I mentioned the Wei family?

Didn’t the emperor already believe the fact that the Wei family committed treason? Could there be something wrong?

"I understand your hard work in managing the harem, so I didn't blame you for being willful in the past."

The emperor was helped by Concubine Wei to sit back on the couch. The anger on his face lessened a little, but the look he gave the queen was still icy cold: "And now you actually want to harm Concubine Wei, causing her to almost die!"

"Xia Yanshu, I didn't know you had become so vicious and ugly!"

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. I really..."

"You don't have to make excuses for yourself anymore."

The emperor interrupted the queen coldly, and then he didn't bother to look at her again. He turned to Eunuch Gao and said, "Pass on my decree. From today on, Concubine Wei will be in charge of the six palaces. The queen will be confined to Fengyi Palace. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Eunuch Gao bowed in response, then he flicked his whisk, and several guards tried to lift the queen from the ground and take her away.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

When the queen heard this, she crawled towards the emperor like a madman, losing all her graceful demeanor.

The guards were probably frightened by the queen's unusual behavior and allowed her to run to the emperor's side.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the queen grabbed the emperor's clothes and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, would you rather believe these villains than me?"

"It doesn't matter if I, the queen, am deposed, but I still have my mother's family and my father. Your Majesty, have you forgotten how my father once protected you?!"

"Heh, Xia Yanshu, at this point, not only are you not repentant, but you're also trying to threaten me with the Xia family, huh?"

The emperor's eyes widened in anger, and the queen's face instantly turned pale. She said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is not what I meant. I did not mean to threaten Your Majesty!"

"Where are the guards? Why don't you take this crazy woman away for me!" The emperor turned his head and shouted at the guards. He felt sick if he looked at the queen any longer.

"It's the Emperor!"

The emperor's anger filled the entire room. Seeing this, the guards dared not delay any longer and dragged the queen out of Lanhua Palace.

The queen's heart-wrenching cries gradually faded away.

And the entire Lanhua Palace finally returned to peace.

"My beloved concubine, are you okay? Are you not scared?" The emperor lowered his head and comforted Concubine Wei beside him, his eyes full of tenderness.

Compared with the domineering monarch just now, he is completely different.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine." Concubine Wei's expression was still calm and beautiful. "It's you, Your Majesty, who is always angry and may hurt your body."

Concubine Wei's caring words were like a warm breeze that touched the emperor's heart and finally relaxed his tense nerves.

"You are the only one in this harem who truly cares about me."

The emperor held Concubine Wei's hands tightly, and the warmth in his heart continued to rise: "Is it okay for me to make my beloved concubine a noble concubine today?"
