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

Suddenly, the queen felt a strong electric current running through her body, as if she was struck by a powerful lightning bolt! She froze in place, staring ahead with eyes wide open in disbelief.

After a long while, she seemed to come back to her senses from her extreme shock, but her body seemed to be out of control and she subconsciously took several steps back.

"No... Impossible!"

"The Emperor has only met her once, how, how could he still be thinking about her until now?" The Queen muttered to herself, her voice trembling so violently that her body also trembled slightly.

Xue Jinhua looked at the queen like this, but shook her head gently, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that before you exchanged fate with her, she should have been destined to be the queen... So, it's not surprising that the emperor likes her, right?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the queen's heart hard, completely shattering the last bit of hope in her heart.

In an instant, the queen could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and tears burst out like a flood.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to do anything to the Queen right now, but what about in the future?"

Xue Jinhua stared at the queen with burning eyes and continued, "After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne, will you still be able to rest easy and be safe like you are now?"

Having said this, Xue Jinhua paused deliberately. However, how could the Queen not understand the unspoken words that followed?

"No... Impossible! As long as the Emperor does not abolish my position as Empress, I will always be the head of the harem and the biological mother of the Crown Prince! If he dares to harm me, it would be an act of disobedience, unfilial piety and great disrespect!"

The queen shouted at the top of her lungs. At this moment, she had long lost her former dignity and majesty, and was only filled with fear and despair.

Xue Jinhua looked at her determined expression and really didn't want to crush her beautiful dream again.

"Empress, it is true on the surface. No matter whether it is the current Crown Prince or the one who will ascend the throne in the future, they naturally dare not easily attack you on the surface. However, the situation in secret is hard to say!" After saying this, Xue Jinhua raised her eyes slightly, her gaze fell directly on the queen.

The queen's smiling face suddenly froze, her face full of fear, her eyes widened as she stared at the person in front of her. She asked in a trembling voice, "Crown Princess, you...what do you mean by this?"

The Crown Princess smiled slightly, and slowly reached out to fiddle with the delicate hairpin on her head, and then slowly said: "Empress, you are so smart, can't you guess the deep meaning of this?"

Then, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "When you changed your fate, did you act uprightly? And when you secretly plotted against me, was it ever an upright act?"

Upon hearing this, the queen's face turned as pale as paper, as if all the blood in her body had been drained away in an instant, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess raised her lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, and said slowly, "So, for anything that cannot be exposed to the light, there are always many ways to solve it, and it does not have to be known to the world."

At this time, the queen was in a state of panic, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.

She was well aware of the dark and covert tactics and conspiracies in the palace. If the prince really caught her, she would probably face death.

Thinking of this, the queen could no longer remain calm, and trembling all over, she asked again: "What...what do you want?"

"My queen, there are many people who want to take your life, but if you are willing to agree to my request, perhaps... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will remember our old friendship and let you go in a dignified manner."

Xue Jinhua said softly, with a hint of mystery and threat in her words.

When the queen heard this, she did not respond immediately, but just sat there quietly, silent, as if she was thinking deeply.

However, in just a moment, she suddenly chuckled: "Oh! How can I trust you so easily?" Although her voice was soft, it carried unquestionable majesty.

Xue Jinhua, who was standing aside, had her eyes flashing slightly, and thought to herself: I had no intention of agreeing to the Queen's request.

She called softly, "Qingyi, come in."

As the words fell, Qing Yi slowly walked into the hall.

And when they saw clearly what Qingyi was holding in his hand, they couldn't help but gasp - on that tray, there was a sharp dagger, a piece of snow-white silk and a pot of poisoned wine!

"You...what do you mean? Crown Princess, how dare you be so bold and presumptuous? Do you really want to harm me? Aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread out and you will be punished by the Emperor and attract the attention of others?" Upon seeing this, the Queen's face suddenly changed. She pointed at Xue Jinhua and shouted in shock and anger.

Facing the Queen's questioning, Xue Jinhua showed no fear at all. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Afraid? Of course I am afraid. That's why I came here alone without any followers."

"Empress, even if I really put you to death here today, I'm afraid the Emperor may not punish me." After saying this, she stared straight at the Empress, as if she had already secured victory.

He is just turning a blind eye and being indifferent! To be honest... you are such a failure as a queen. Even if you die here, I'm afraid no one will feel sad or heartbroken. "

The queen couldn't help but recall the prince's cold face and the emperor's disgust towards her.

These complicated emotions were entangled in her chest like a tangled mess, and like surging tides, they were surging and intertwining in her mind.

Finally, unable to bear such heavy pressure, the queen's legs softened and she fell to her knees on the cold, hard ground with a thud. She completely collapsed and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Crown Princess, what on earth do you want to do?"

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - she must not die like this! Even if there was only a glimmer of hope that could allow her to continue to survive, she would never give up easily.

"Empress, please swallow this pill. As for the subsequent matters that need to be completed by you, just follow my instructions honestly."

I saw Qingyi slowly lifting the white cloth covering it, and what came into view was a round black pill.

The queen's face turned pale and her body involuntarily shrank back. It was obvious that she was not willing to take the pill at all.

However, at this moment, Xue Jinhua did not intend to give the queen any chance to refuse.

Qingyi suddenly reached out and pinched the queen's mouth tightly, then forced the pill into the queen's mouth without hesitation, and closed her teeth forcefully, forcing her to swallow it.

At the end, Xue Jinhua did not forget to warn coldly: "Queen, let me tell you the truth, this pill is a treasure that I went to great lengths to obtain from Wuyou Valley."

"If there is no special antidote, once the time is up, you will experience an extremely painful feeling of being unable to live or die, so you'd better be obedient!"

"I know that the Queen only cares about herself in this vast world."

"I hope the Queen will not try to go out and play any tricks, because no one can save you from the water and fire!"

After saying this, Qingyi slowly loosened her tightly clenched hands, and the queen collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Xue Jinhua looked down at the embarrassed queen in front of him with a calm heart. After pausing for a moment, he turned around and left without hesitation.

After walking out of Fengqi Palace, Qingyi looked up and gazed at the three big characters "Fengqi Palace" hanging above the door lintel, with an indescribable feeling of uneasiness lingering in her heart.

"Crown Princess, will acting so hastily and exposing our intentions too early alarm the enemy and make them prepared?" Qingyi asked in a low voice with a worried look on his face.

At this time, the prince was still far away in the south, and the situation was still unknown.

However, they have already rashly confronted the Queen. If they fail in the end, the consequences will be disastrous...

Xue Jinhua naturally understood Qingyi's concerns, but the current situation was urgent and there was no room for hesitation: "I know what you are worried about, but the prince has not returned yet, and the national teacher has suddenly taken action ahead of schedule. Many matters have become confusing and full of variables."

"We have no other choice but to make a decisive move and give it a try." After saying this, she bit her red lips lightly, a hint of determination flashing in her beautiful eyes.

If we don’t take action soon, by then, I’m afraid our lives will be in danger!” He said anxiously.

The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly just a moment ago, but suddenly a strong wind started to blow.

The sound of the wind was howling, as if it was a roar from between heaven and earth.

"Crown Princess, let's leave quickly. Looking at the situation, it's probably going to rain soon." Qing Yi urged softly.

Xue Jinhua looked up at the sky above the imperial palace, and saw dark clouds rolling in. It seemed that a major disaster was indeed about to happen.

She thought to herself: I thought that what I had planned was flawless and extremely meticulous, but I never thought... it would not last more than half a month.

Only ten days later, the imperial teacher hurriedly reported to the emperor, saying that there were strange phenomena in the sky and that the prayer should be held as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, when I observed the celestial phenomena last night, I found that this strange sign is an ominous sign."

"Therefore, this matter of praying for blessings must not be delayed and should be done as soon as possible. If there is any delay, I am afraid it will have an adverse impact on the destiny of our dynasty!" The national teacher knelt on the ground with his hands clasped, speaking earnestly.

The emperor couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, and said with a worried look on his face, "It's okay to come earlier, but the Queen Mother has not been feeling well since she was frightened last time. I'm really worried that the Queen Mother's Phoenix Body will be damaged again because of this blessing activity."

It was obvious that the emperor was full of confusion and hesitation at this moment.

His furrowed brow and slightly trembling fingers all revealed his inner uneasiness and hesitation.

Boss Xue was unusually silent and said nothing. However, in sharp contrast to him was Lord Wen who could no longer contain his excitement.

His face was filled with anxiety. He stood up suddenly, clasped his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty! You must think twice before you act on this matter of praying for blessings! The Imperial Master...always says that this matter concerns the fate of the country, but does your Majesty have to make every decision and every thing closely related to the fate of the country?"

At this point, Lord Wen paused for a moment, took a deep breath and continued, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this old minister is probably using the banner of national destiny as a cover. We have no idea what he is planning in secret! I beg Your Majesty to be vigilant!"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but frown. He first turned to look at Boss Xue, who had been silent, hoping to catch some clues from his face.

But to the emperor's disappointment, Boss Xue still looked calm and composed, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, I heard Boss Xue slowly say: "Your Majesty, the fate of the country is so important that we cannot afford to be careless. If Your Majesty has any doubts about what I said, you don't have to listen to my advice."

"But... I am loyal to Your Majesty, as is known to all. How could I tolerate such slander? If Lord Wen can really find solid evidence to prove that I was talking nonsense about the fate of the country, then I am willing to hit my head against the pillar and die here to prove my innocence!" After saying that, Boss Xue held his head high and chest puffed out, looking directly at the emperor with a firm gaze. His aura was so great that no one could underestimate it.

His approach of retreating in order to advance directly dispelled the emperor's doubts.

The face he looked at Lord Wen also became a little serious, "Lord Wen, the national teacher has been working hard for the fate of the country. It can be said that he has devoted himself to it. I don't allow anyone to speculate on his thoughts."

Lord Wen frowned, but facing the emperor's words, he had to listen.

"Your Majesty, although the Empress Dowager is in poor health, it will not affect the blessing." Boss Xue continued, "We just need to find a few imperial doctors to serve her, and the Empress Dowager can go before the day of the blessing."

The emperor thought about it and it was indeed a feasible method. "Okay, then let's approve what the Imperial Master said."

"Then let the Third Prince handle this matter. He must do a good job in praying for the blessing, and there must not be any mistakes."

"Yes, Father."

Lord Wen saw that the matter had become a foregone conclusion and naturally said nothing more, but... his heart was still filled with deep worry.
