"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Xiaomei's face turned pale. Crows circling over the imperial palace was not a good sign. If the news spread, it might cause dissatisfaction among other concubines.

"Or we can report to the emperor and say that someone deliberately scattered the meat on the roof to frame you." Xiaomei said anxiously.

At this moment, a huge black bird suddenly swooped over and quickly snatched the piece of meat with its sharp beak. Everyone was stunned by the scene, and the old lady was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please be careful." Xiaomei quickly protected Concubine Xian behind her.

Empress Xian frowned, looked up at the sky and said, "It's too late. The meat has been eaten by crows. Without evidence, the emperor will not believe it even if I tell him."

"Then what should we do now?" Xiaomei looked helpless and almost cried.

Empress Xian turned pale, her body swayed for a moment, and she leaned on Xiaomei to stand steady. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, someone wanted to frame her.

Many years ago, she disdained the intrigues with other women in the harem, so she was willing to be locked up in the cold palace.

But this time, she would never go back to that place.

She wanted to fight for the throne for her son and stop people from bullying her and her son.

Empress Xian's eyes became firm, and then she whispered a few words in Xiaomei's ear. Xiaomei was surprised after hearing it, "Your Majesty, but..."

"Go and do it quickly."

……

At this time, the emperor was troubled by nightmares and was in a bad mood.

At this time, a eunuch came trembling with fear to report.

"Your Majesty, a large number of crows have appeared in the palace and are circling in the air." The eunuch said in a trembling voice.

"What?" The emperor stood up in surprise.

"Crow, does it really bring bad luck?" He asked himself in a low voice, his face becoming heavy, because the scene in the dream was so vivid that he felt dazed.

The emperor quickly walked out of the palace. The gloomy sky outside seemed to foreshadow that something bad was about to happen, which made people feel cold.

"The weather has changed." someone whispered.

"Wow, wow." The crows' calls came one after another. Everyone in the palace looked up and saw a group of black crows. They couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Your Majesty, crows are gathering above Empress Xian's Plum Blossom Palace." A eunuch said tremblingly.

The emperor's expression became serious, his body stiffened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Can you say that again."

The eunuch repeated it, and at this time, everyone began to whisper, wondering if it was Concubine Xian who attracted these crows.

"Go and take a look." The emperor ordered, walking hurriedly towards the Plum Blossom Hall.

At the same time, in Fenghua Palace, Concubine Wu sneered slightly and looked at the gloomy sky.

The emperor quickened his pace and headed for the Plum Blossom Hall, with the eunuch following closely behind him.

The closer we got to the Plum Blossom Hall, the stronger the ominous feeling became. From afar, a flock of crows was circling over the Plum Blossom Hall, so dense that it made people feel depressed.

The emperor's face was serious. If there was really an ominous sign in the Plum Blossom Hall, then the prophecy in the dream might come true, and all this seemed to be related to Concubine Xian. Thinking of this, the emperor secretly clenched his fists.

"Wow, wow." The crows' calls continued to echo as they circled above the Plum Blossom Hall.

"The Emperor has arrived," the eunuch announced in a shrill voice.

Hearing this voice, everyone in the Plum Blossom Hall felt their hearts tighten, and the nanny turned pale with fright and looked at Concubine Xian.

Although Concubine Xian looked pale, she remained calm and did not show any panic. She had long expected the emperor to come here, which was part of the careful planning of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"My queen, what should we do? The crows on the roof haven't left yet." The nanny said anxiously.

Of course they won’t leave, because the smell of rotting meat on the roof is still there and the crows will not go away easily.

Empress Xian clenched her teeth and her eyes were determined.

The palace door slowly opened, and the emperor walked into the palace with firm steps. His eyes quickly locked onto Concubine Xian who was slowly getting up.

She stood there quietly, her face calm, without a trace of fear.

"Empress Xian..." he called softly.

As always, no matter when or where, she is always so calm and composed.

Concubine Xian bowed slightly and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I greet you."

The emperor stared at her, his heart was in turmoil, and he could not speak for a long time. How could such a bright and beautiful woman be related to an ominous sign?

However, the bloody scene in the dream and the huge crow pressing on his heart made him feel suffocated.

If all this foreshadows a disaster, then it not only concerns the country and the people, but also involves the fate of all people in the world, and cannot be ignored.

Outside the window, crows kept cawing, their voices sharp and piercing.

"Empress Xian." The emperor spoke again, his face even gloomier.

The entire hall was filled with an oppressive atmosphere; even the air seemed to have frozen, and everyone in the palace held their breath.

Finally, the emperor seemed to have made a decision and waved his hand, "Take Concubine Xian away from here."

"Yes, sir." Several guards responded and walked towards Empress Xian.

Seeing this, the old nanny was extremely anxious and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, this crow was definitely not caused by the queen. Someone must have maliciously framed you."

The other maids also knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please understand. Someone is indeed trying to harm the queen."

They knew very well that if Concubine Xian suffered misfortune again because of this incident, there would probably be no peace in the future.

"False accusation?" The emperor frowned with an indifferent expression as he stared at the woman in front of him who remained calm the whole time. His heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a heavy stone.

Is it really just a false accusation?

How could one not be suspicious when the ominous omen in the dream and the crows in reality appeared so coincidentally?

"Hurry up and execute the order." The emperor ordered sternly.

The guards respectfully led Concubine Xian away, and she did not say a word from beginning to end. When she caught a glimpse of the emperor's stern expression, a deep sense of loss flashed in her eyes.

"Please follow us, my lady."

Concubine Xian followed the guards out obediently, and behind her came a voice of pleading: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the Queen is innocent, really..."

In Fenghua Palace, after Concubine Wu learned that Concubine Xian had been captured, she laughed with a hint of pleasure: "Hahaha, Concubine Xian, you have come to this day too. No matter once or twice, you still lost to me in the end. You will sink forever like this."

"Once we get rid of Concubine Xian, it will be easy to deal with the Seventh Prince. With just a little trick, he will have nowhere to escape." She said to herself, "If I give her an unlucky name, her life will be over."

At the same time, Su Mei hurriedly got on the sedan chair out of the palace and rushed to the Su Mansion.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the Su Mansion.

"Who is it?" asked the old man guarding the gate.

Su Mei looked anxious: "Please let me see the young lady."

When Ye Yunzi saw Sumei, she was quite surprised: Why did someone around Concubine Xian suddenly come to her?
