The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Sheng Junwei's sneer interrupted her question: "Sheng Ruijiao, open your eyes and take a good look. This is not the Sheng Mansion where you can play around with right and wrong. Everyone can see clearly what you have done. Even if they want to protect you, they have to consider the possible consequences."

These words were so powerful that the hall fell into silence for a moment.

Sheng Ruijiao's heart suddenly shuddered, and a chill hit her heart: "Sister, what do you mean by this? Did you just...do you have any misunderstanding?"

Sheng Junwei stood on a high place, with a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes: "I don't mean to touch you at all."

Her words were clear and firm, "If anyone wanted to get closer, it was your own wish, but it was ultimately in vain."

The scene of the palace banquet that night emerged in Sheng Ruijiao's mind like a dream. The wind that night seemed to carry an unusual chill.

"Protection bracelet?" she murmured, as if realizing for the first time that she had overlooked some crucial detail.

"Are you finally aware of this?" Sheng Junwei let out a meaningful smile.

The emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy, his majesty unquestionable: "Come here, drag this restless guy out!"

Seeing this, the Sheng brothers immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, she really didn't mean it!"

Just as the emperor was about to speak again, a clear announcement broke through the tense atmosphere: "Concubine Sheng has arrived!"

Following the announcement, a beautiful and graceful figure slowly walked in. Every step she took seemed to be on the clouds, elegant and dignified.

The delicate concubine, with her face covered by a veil, could not hide her stunning beauty. She bowed gently to the emperor, her voice gentle but with a force that could not be ignored: "Your Majesty, why do you treat Ruijiao like this?"

Her gesture of saluting was gentle and graceful, and her graceful figure looked even more beautiful in the sunlight.

But in the middle of the ceremony, her brows slightly frowned, and her hands involuntarily stroked her undeveloped belly, where the hope for the future of the empire was nurtured.

Concubine Sheng was six months pregnant and her pregnancy was less than three months, which was the period when the fetus was most vulnerable.

Because she was deeply favored by the emperor, the emperor was filled with unprecedented expectations and concerns about this upcoming life.

Seeing that she seemed to be unwell, the emperor frowned and finally waved his hand, signaling the guards to let Sheng Ruijiao go.

The emperor turned his gaze to Sheng Junwei, and said in a steady and firm voice: "Doctor Sheng, you should have known about the queen mother's condition before you came. Go and treat her now. Make sure that the queen mother recovers as soon as possible. This is my order as the emperor."

Sheng Junwei pursed her lips. Although her heart was in a turmoil, her face remained calm. She secretly sighed: I thought the Ministry of Justice was a place full of crises, but I never thought that the identity of the imperial physician was even more precarious and he had to be on edge all the time.

The balance of power among emperors in this world is really a headache.

Although she had many dissatisfactions in her heart, she remained calm and composed on the surface: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter is not complicated, just leave it to me."

Unexpectedly, when the emperor heard this, he miraculously showed a look of relief, as if all his worries had disappeared in an instant.

Although the three members of the Sheng family had their own dissatisfaction and reluctance in their hearts, at this moment, when they heard such words, the burden in their hearts seemed to be lightened, as if a huge rock had quietly fallen to the ground.

Sheng Junwei had already had a general understanding of the situation through various channels before, and this trip was more for personal verification and confirmation.

She first carefully checked the area around the empress dowager's bed, and then walked slowly around Shoukang Palace, not leaving out any corner.

About a quarter of an hour later, she returned to the emperor, her expression serious and confident: "Your Majesty, I have found the root of the problem."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face: "Really? Is there a solution?"

"Of course." Sheng Junwei's answer was simple and direct, but it revealed an unquestionable confidence.

There was a flash of unwillingness in Sheng Ruijiao's eyes. She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. She seemed to want to say something, but chose to remain silent due to some pressure.

At this moment, Concubine Sheng, who was usually as gentle as water, suddenly gave her a meaningful glance. In the depths of her gentle eyes, there was an imperceptible warning.

Sheng Junwei saw this and secretly sighed in her heart, no wonder this Concubine Sheng had been able to maintain the emperor's favor for so long, her intelligence and skills were obviously far superior to those of the simple and straightforward Sheng Ruijiao.

Under Concubine Sheng's silent intimidation, Sheng Ruijiao finally did not make any sound.

The atmosphere was calm, and Sheng Junwei did not delay any longer, and explained directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Queen Mother is not ill, but has been invaded by evil spirits, which are slowly eroding her reason and spirit."

"Although the medicines prescribed by the imperial physicians could not directly expel the evil spirits, they focused on fundamentally recuperating the body and inadvertently activated the empress dowager's body's self-healing mechanism. As a result, the empress dowager seemed confused on the surface, but in fact she was still conscious, but was fighting fiercely against the evil spirits and could not control her actions and words."

"As for the medicine prescribed by the so-called 'miracle doctor', it not only did not help, but also destroyed the original therapeutic effect, causing the Queen Mother to lose her will and fall into a coma."

"However, being in a coma may be a better situation for the Queen Mother at the moment. If she remains conscious in this state, or wakes up suddenly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Sheng Junwei's words were calm and rational, which made people convinced.

Concubine Sheng had a clear mind and could clearly see Sheng Ruijiao's undisguised hostility towards Sheng Junwei, so she kept her eyes following her like a shadow, always locking onto Sheng Ruijiao's every move, fearing that this scheming woman would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

Whether Sheng Junwei can bring the patient back to health remains uncertain, but at this critical juncture, even if Sheng Ruijiao is dissatisfied in every way, she can only restrain herself temporarily and wait and see.

After all, at this moment concerning the life and death of the Queen Mother, any discordant voice would be seen as a challenge to the royal majesty.

And if anything unexpected happens, as long as she makes sure Sheng Ruijiao has nothing to do with it, with Concubine Sheng's status and means, she is confident that she can pave a way out for her nephews and nieces and let them get away with it.

However, things are unpredictable. Concubine Sheng was able to guard against the open attack for a while, but she was careless about the hidden attack.

Sheng Mingtao suddenly shouted at this inappropriate moment. His words were full of ignorance and contempt, which suddenly broke the solemn atmosphere in the hall.

"This is ridiculous! The Empress Dowager is clearly suffering from illness, there is no such thing as evil spirits. Don't try to be mysterious and confuse the royal family!"

Sheng Mingfeng's heart trembled, thinking to himself that something was wrong. He tried to stop it, but he was too late.

A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, as if he could foresee the turmoil these remarks would bring.
