The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

The gaze from the queen's beautiful eyes was like an extremely sharp knife, carrying a biting chill as it shot straight towards Xue Jinhua.

However, surprisingly, Xue Jinhua turned a blind eye to this hostile and threatening look, as if she was completely unaware, and continued to stand there leisurely.

The queen was so angry that she lost her composure. Her originally dignified and beautiful face became distorted and swollen because of anger.

She was so angry that she shouted, "Crown Princess! I am your mother. How dare you force me so boldly? This is simply treason and disobedience!"

Then, she turned to the emperor and cried coquettishly: "Your Majesty, look at this ignorant Crown Princess, she is so wanton, Your Majesty must make the decision for me!"

Facing the Queen's accusations and crying, Xue Jinhua remained silent and stood there quietly like a silent sculpture.

However, the Emperor was obviously very impatient with the Queen's unreasonable behavior. He frowned and said sternly, "What nonsense! The Crown Princess is just stating the facts. How could she force you? Besides, when you were talking outside just now, the Crown Princess was not by your side. So, Queen, how did she force you?"

Hearing the emperor's righteous words, Xue Jinhua raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and said softly: "Thank you, father, for your keen insight."

Although these words were spoken softly, the pride contained in them was self-evident.

When the queen heard this, her heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

She wanted to continue to argue a few more words to save her face, but the emperor had already lost his patience. He waved his hand and said decisively: "Forget it, Queen, as the master of the six palaces, your moral conduct is so lacking. From now on, you are no longer suitable to lead the affairs of the harem."

The emperor shouted loudly: "Someone come! Send the queen back to the palace. No one can let her leave the palace without my order!" This order was like a bolt from the blue, instantly making everyone present silent.

Although the queen was not directly banished to the cold palace, the current situation was almost the same as that of the cold palace.

The queen, who used to be high and mighty and the mother of the country, now looked as pale as paper and cried out in panic: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! I know I have made a mistake and will never make it again! Please forgive me this time..."

However, no matter how hard she begged, those who were carrying out the orders did not dare to stop without the emperor's permission.

So, the poor queen was dragged away from everyone's sight.

Witnessing this scene, Xue Jinhua was secretly delighted. The feeling of exhilaration was simply indescribable.

But she knew that the emperor was still here, and now was not the time to reveal her true emotions, so she could only suppress the joy in her heart and pretend to be heartbroken yet tolerant and generous.

Xue Jinhua lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the sadness in her heart.

She sobbed softly and said to the emperor, "Father, please calm down. Ultimately, it was mother who was wrong. But I believe that mother was only anxious at the moment. After she is imprisoned in the palace, she will reflect deeply on her mistakes. I hope father will not get too angry and hurt the dragon body." Her words showed her sensible, well-behaved and sensible side.

The emperor looked at the Crown Princess in front of him and couldn't help feeling a surge of pity in his heart.

Although she was still pleading for the queen at this time, he knew that the queen had indeed gone too far and had really treated her unfairly.

"The Queen's behavior this time was indeed inappropriate, and she owes you something, but I promise you that she will never step out of Fengqi Palace before the Crown Prince returns to the palace!" the emperor said firmly.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua burst into tears of gratitude and quickly bowed: "Thank you, father, for your understanding."

Just as she was about to perform the ceremony, the emperor reached out his hand to stop her and said with concern: "Forget it, you are pregnant now and your body is not feeling well. Just rest and recuperate here."

"If there is anything unusual, you can summon the imperial physician or ask the state teacher to come and treat you. Don't worry. I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I won't stay any longer."

"Farewell, Father." Xue Jinhua responded softly.

After the emperor left, Xue Jinhua's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally let go.

However, before the joy could overwhelm her, she suddenly realized that there was another person in the room.

Turning around slowly, Xue Jinhua unexpectedly met Boss Xue's cold and indifferent gaze.

The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.

Xue Jinhua felt a little uneasy and quickly apologized: "Master Imperial Master, I am truly sorry. I never expected that this matter would implicate you and cause you so much trouble. I feel deeply guilty."

Although she tried her best to explain, it was obvious that Boss Xue's gloomy face did not ease at all because of her words.

He still stared at her with those scrutinizing eyes, as if he wanted to see through her appearance to the secrets hidden deep in her heart.

"Crown Princess, are you taking advantage of me?" Boss Xue's words revealed an unquestionable anger. The tone was neither a question nor an ordinary inquiry, but a naked accusation and questioning.

Faced with such a harsh question, Xue Jinhua's heart tightened, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm and said in a delicate voice: "Master Imperial Master, where do you get this from? I really don't understand at all, and I don't understand what you mean at all."

However, at this moment, she knew very well in her mind that the matter had been exposed, and at this critical moment, she could not easily admit it no matter what.

But how could Boss Xue not know the truth?

At this moment, he had seen everything clearly. Xue Jinhua was deliberately using him! She must have known that the Queen was dissatisfied with her, so she deliberately arranged for him to come this afternoon so that she could take advantage of him to deal with the Queen.

Thinking of this, Mr. Xue gritted his teeth in anger.

He had been struggling in this deep palace for decades, and he had always been the only one who schemed against others. How could anyone have been so clever in scheming against him? How abominable!

His face was full of anger and his chest was rising and falling rapidly, as if there was a flame of rage burning in him.

He stared at Xue Jinhua with his eyes wide open, gritting his teeth and said, "Sister, I really underestimated your ability to play tricks!"

However, facing Boss Xue's accusations and questions, Xue Jinhua remained calm. She nodded slightly, seemingly responding to Boss Xue obediently, but in fact, her mind had already flown away and she began to think about another crucial matter.

At this moment, she thought to herself, "I wonder if Li San succeeded..."

At the same time, Young Master Jin, who was far away on the Star Picking Platform, was stepping in cautiously.

As soon as he entered the Star Picking Platform, he looked around, but did not see the figure of the National Master, but the National Master was not there.

Originally, Young Master Jin planned to turn around and leave.

After all, given the Imperial Master's usually cautious character, even if he is not here, there will definitely be many guards guarding the place strictly.

But what is surprising is that the Star Picking Platform is empty today, and it is so quiet that it feels a bit eerie.

At this moment, a bold and crazy idea quickly spread in Gongzi Jin's heart like weeds.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How can I let go of such a godsend opportunity?" Thinking of this, Gongzi Jin no longer hesitated, took a decisive step, and walked straight into the inner room.

Relying on the remaining memories deep in his mind, he vaguely remembered that he had seen the National Master looking at something here many times, and at that time the National Master seemed to be holding a mysterious book in his hand.

And after each viewing, the national teacher would place it properly in a corner of the room.

Gongzi Jin reached out his hand absentmindedly, trying to open the drawer in front of him.

However, the moment the drawer was slowly opened, his originally calm face suddenly became solemn, as if he had seen something shocking.

I saw that the drawer was empty. The place where important items should be placed was now empty!

Gongzi Jin frowned, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

Who on earth took the things inside? Just as he was thinking hard, a strange smell aroused his vigilance.

His expression suddenly tightened and his eyes quickly glanced around.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed through the window under the bright moonlight and fled in panic.

"Oh no! There's a thief!" Just by shouting out these four short words, the entire Star-Picking Terrace suddenly became brightly lit and filled with noise.

Everyone came over here with torches in hand.

Gongzi Jin's mood instantly sank to the bottom. He really couldn't understand who was so bold as to sneak into the heavily guarded Star Picking Tower to steal.

Isn't this person afraid of losing his head? With a heart full of anger and doubt, Gongzi Jin chased after him without hesitation.

At this moment, another figure quietly appeared in the dark corner of the room.

He first carefully observed the movements around him, and after confirming that it was safe, he tiptoed to the place where Young Master Jin had just been looking at.

He glanced at the empty drawer, then gently touched it with his fingers.

In an instant, he seemed to have discovered some secret, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It turns out that this seemingly ordinary drawer holds a secret - it has a clever secret compartment, and the truly precious things are hidden underneath it.

The masked man in black's eyes suddenly flashed a light, like lightning in the dark night, instantly illuminating his face covered by the black cloth.

He was seen holding the object tightly in his hand, and his figure moved quickly like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the bright light, as if he had never appeared.

.........

"Master Imperial Master, I have already told you that I am really not Xue Jinhua. Why do you always refuse to believe me?"

Xue Jinhua's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and helplessness. Even though the truth had been revealed, the emperor had just left not long ago. Xue Jinhua knew that she had to be doubly careful and must not reveal her identity easily.

However, even so, she still forced herself to remain calm, standing where she was, looking at the imperial teacher in front of her with firm eyes.

Xue Jinhua frowned and looked at her suspiciously, as if trying to see through her beautiful face to see her true thoughts.

The atmosphere at this moment was extremely tense, and the air seemed to be frozen.

Xue Jinhua thought to herself: "Things have come to this point, I can't let them find any flaws no matter what." So she firmly denied her true identity.

Boss Xue looked at the stubborn Xue Jinhua in front of him and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "It has come to this, but she is still so stubborn. Is there another hidden story? But if that's the case, why doesn't she just drive us out?" He was puzzled.

Boss Xue spoke again, "Sister, you are struggling to hold on like this, just to delay time, what's the practical meaning?"

Before he could finish his words, Boss Xue suddenly seemed to have thought of something important, his face changed abruptly, and the words he was about to say came to an abrupt halt.

His eyes widened and he stood there blankly, his mind racing through all the possibilities.

Yes, why did she go to so much trouble to deal with me? Apart from stalling for time, there was probably no other reasonable explanation.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room.

One of the Imperial Master's men rushed in in a panic. However, when he caught a glimpse of the Crown Princess, he swallowed the words back abruptly. It was as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat and he could no longer make a sound.

The Imperial Master frowned slightly and said, "Speak."

"The Star Picking Platform was robbed."

Mr. Xue was so angry that his nostrils shrank. He turned around and looked at Xue Jinhua in astonishment, "Sister, is this your purpose?"

Xue Jinhua said nothing, but Boss Xue knew it was true.

"Is there any loss?" Boss Xue asked again.

No one dares to enter the Imperial Master’s Star-Picking Platform. Currently... no one knows what is lost inside.

Mr. Xue was so angry that his face turned green. This time he didn't even bother to look at Xue Jinhua's expression and just left in anger.
