After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

When the Queen heard that the Emperor wanted to stay overnight in her Jingren Palace, she was shocked but also troubled.

She didn't want the emperor to stay because there was Jay Chou hiding under the bed. She was afraid that if Jay Chou was not careful and revealed his true identity, the emperor would definitely misunderstand that she had an affair with Jay Chou. No, she couldn't let the emperor stay.

So the queen began to negotiate with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have a severe headache and I am afraid that I will disturb Your Majesty's rest. In addition, I am not feeling well and cannot serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty should return to the palace to rest."

The queen looked uncomfortable and hoped that the emperor would leave. She was really uncomfortable at the moment, both physically and mentally.

When the emperor saw the pain on the empress's face, he felt pity for her. He seldom came to Jingren Palace, and they had already been an old couple and there was no novelty in their relationship. But because the empress was his legal wife, he still had to show her proper care and concern.

"I know you have a headache. Since you are here, I will stay with you tonight so that you can feel more at ease."

When the queen heard what the emperor said, she became even more anxious. She knew that the emperor really cared about her at this moment and would not leave easily.

The Queen gently stroked the Emperor's hand and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I know you are busy with state affairs and rarely have time tonight. I don't want to delay your precious sleep time. You should go back to the palace and rest. I will take good care of myself."

The emperor was touched when he saw the queen was so considerate.

"Queen, I know you love me, but I want to be with you tonight. I usually neglect you so much, and I should be with you tonight."

The queen was ashamed and covered her face with her hands. She was extremely panicked. She had never seen the emperor so affectionate towards her on other days, but it happened today.

But the emperor must not be allowed to stay tonight, so the queen mustered up the courage to speak:

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. The imperial physician said that I need to rest. Your Majesty should go back to the Yangxin Palace to rest."

When the emperor heard this, he felt that the queen was shirking her responsibilities again and again and deliberately offending him, so he angrily asked, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

No concubine had ever dared to reject him like this, and they all wished he could stay with them.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about your health." The Queen's voice was a little timid at this moment.

The emperor was furious, and turned away, walking out. Just after he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard a noise behind him, a "pop".

Jay Chou was hiding under the bed. His posture was not very comfortable when he first hid under the bed, and the bed was extremely low. He didn't dare to move, for fear that any movement would attract the emperor's attention.

Just as the emperor turned to leave, he couldn't help but changed his posture, but unfortunately, his foot kicked the bed board. Although his foot didn't hurt, the bed board made a very loud noise.

When the emperor heard the "pop" sound, he paused and looked back, only to see the queen looking at him in panic, her eyes evasive, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

The emperor frowned slightly, puzzled. Where did the voice come from?

The queen looked embarrassed and tried to force a smile:

"It was you who kicked the bed accidentally." Her voice was trembling. It was obvious that she was very nervous. She hoped that the emperor would listen to her.

The emperor's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone: "Are you dissatisfied with me, Queen? If you are dissatisfied, you can tell me the truth. There is no need to do this."

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate the queen's heart.

The queen turned pale when she heard this. She endured the headache and discomfort, and quickly got up from the bed, knelt down and saluted:

"I dare not! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

She lowered her head, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

The emperor's rage intensified, and his voice, full of pressure, echoed in the palace: "Humph! You dare not? I think you are very brave!"

He stared at the queen with anger flashing in his eyes. Every time he came to the queen, he would find some trouble.

"You should reflect on your mistakes carefully! You don't have to go out these few days." After saying that, the emperor turned and left, leaving the queen kneeling on the ground shivering, still in fear. This meant she was under house arrest.

From afar, I heard the emperor step out of the queen's bedroom and say, "Go to the Yanxi Palace!"

Jay Chou, who was hiding under the bed, dared to crawl out.

Jay Chou felt so distressed when he saw the queen kneeling on the ground in pain. He immediately stepped forward and ignored the queen's struggle, picked her up and put her on the bed.

The Queen was very resistant to Jay Chou at this time. She blamed it all on this damn Jay Chou. She blamed him for seducing her, for not hiding properly under the bed, and for making such a loud noise.

The queen's eyes were cold and she said in a harsh tone, "You go and accept the punishment yourself... sixty strokes of the cane."

When Jay Chou heard this, he felt very disappointed. They had just kissed each other, so why was he being caned now? Caning would have been fine, but he was caned sixty times. He was already covered with scars, and after these sixty canes, he would almost lose his life.

Jay Chou did not refute anything, he was just surprised that the queen would treat him like this, but he had no complaints and quickly thought of reasons to excuse the queen.

Mr. Zhou thought that he must have accidentally kicked the bed board, causing the Queen to be misunderstood by the Emperor. He knew that the Queen had always loved the Emperor, but the Emperor had always treated her with respect and did not dote on her like he did other concubines.

The courtyard was eerily quiet late at night, with only the sound of the cane hitting Jay Chou's body.

That night, there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on Jay Chou's body. His entire body was covered in wounds and his life was struggling on the brink of life and death. It was likely that he would not be able to recover without a month of recuperation.

While being caned, Jay Chou still felt sorry for the Queen being scolded by the Emperor and for not receiving the Emperor's favor. He did not blame the Queen for punishing him at all.

Although the Queen severely punished Zhou Dong, she did not sleep all night. She still asked Lanxiang to send Zhou Dong a lot of good wound medicine and some supplements.

The next day, Royal Garden

Songzhi was walking on the road holding Princess Wen Yi, with a palace maid holding a parasol behind her. Princess Wen Yi in her arms kept crying and Songzhi couldn't comfort her no matter what she did. She couldn't help feeling a little impatient and her steps quickened.

The maid behind her couldn't keep up, so the umbrella couldn't be held up properly. The summer sun was very bright, hitting the princess' face.

This scene happened to be witnessed head-on by Concubine Cao.

Concubine Cao was extremely distressed, and hurriedly ran forward to wipe the sweat off Princess Wen Yi with an embroidered handkerchief, and asked angrily: "Songzhi, why don't you hold an umbrella for the princess?"
