Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

At this solemn moment, Liu Nishang still maintained a sad expression on the surface, but her inner thoughts were constantly churning.

She knew very well that in the palace, it was not uncommon for a mother to gain status through her son, especially since she was pregnant with the emperor's blood.

Liu Nishang began to carefully plan every move.

She took every opportunity to intentionally or unintentionally mention in front of the emperor her expectations for her child's future and her own concerns as a mother, trying to arouse the emperor's greater attention and sense of responsibility.

At the same time, she asked her father to secretly send someone to place letters and evidence framing them for treason at the home of Prime Minister Liu, the Queen's mother's family, who had already retired and returned to his hometown. After everything was ready, Liu Nishang appeared at the Queen Mother's funeral.

Liu Nishang showed extreme grief and filial piety to win the admiration and sympathy of people around her.

However, Liu Nishang's plan was not smooth sailing.

Just as she was moving closer to the Queen with her big belly, Tinghe had already pulled the Queen back a few steps, ready to rest. After all, the Queen's belly was so big that she might give birth to Emperor Yong's only little prince in a few months, so the Queen was protected very tightly.

But how could Liu Nishang miss this opportunity to frame the queen? She chased after the queen crying and telling her something, but her steps kept moving towards the queen.

Ting He glanced at Hong Yu and Liu Nishang, who were standing next to him with jealous eyes, and immediately came up with a plan. It seemed that they seemed to have some special connection. Could it be that Hong Yu was Liu Nishang's person? Or had she been bribed by her? Now that the handle was handed to him, it would be a bit unkind not to use it.

Thinking of this, Ting He gently pushed Hong Yu and asked her to stand in front of the Queen. Before anyone could react or look over here, she lifted the Queen's collar and teleported a few steps back. As soon as she stood still, she heard Liu Nishang crying and shouting:

"Ah~ My belly..."

This shout instantly caused an uproar at the empress dowager's funeral banquet.

Emperor Dayong and his ministers, who were lighting incense and kowtowing to the empress dowager in front, looked back immediately and saw Hongyu standing there with her hands in confusion, while Concubine Rou, whom His Majesty loved most, was lying at Hongyu's feet with a big belly, and the bright red blood flowed down her white clothes and soaked the entire ground.

Emperor Yong immediately frowned and ran down, holding Concubine Rou in his arms, and shouted, "My beloved concubine, are you okay? Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly."

While bearing the excruciating pain, Liu Nishang cried to Emperor Yong:

"Your Majesty, this is not the Queen's fault. It's all my fault for not standing properly. I hope Your Majesty will not punish the Queen. The Queen certainly didn't push me down on purpose. It's all my fault..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dayong and the ministers beside him raised their heads to look towards the Queen's position, then quickly lowered their heads. Seeing that Emperor Dayong was about to blame the Queen for this, the ministers dared not say a word.

When Emperor Dayong turned around to look at the empress, he saw that she was a long way away from the place where Liu Nishang fell. He felt inexplicably irritated. Just as the imperial physician came quickly to treat Liu Nishang, news came from the previous dynasty.

The Queen's father, the Prime Minister, who had retired and returned to his hometown, entered the palace with His Majesty's token and the evidence of the Liu family's false accusation. As he was about to go to the harem, the chief eunuch bowed his head and reported the matter to Emperor Yong.

Emperor Da Yong didn't care about Liu Nishang's belly for a moment, and said casually:

"Noble Lady Rou disturbed the Queen Mother's heroic spirit and accidentally fell and lost her dragon fetus. She is imprisoned in Nishang Pavilion and cannot leave. As for what Prime Minister Liu said about the Liu family falsely accusing her of rebellion, it is still to be discussed. Let's put Prime Minister Liu into the harem first."

At this point, Emperor Dayong glanced at the Queen who was standing uneasy, and said, "The Queen was frightened today, so you'd better go back and rest first. As for the maidservants around the Queen, please stay here to investigate."

The queen was a little worried when she heard that her father was going to the palace with evidence to see the emperor. She wanted to stay here to see what was going on, but Emperor Yong had already spoken, and Ting He kept pulling at her sleeves. She couldn't help but lower her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Having said that, the queen asked Tinghe to support her and left the place and returned to Kunning Palace.

Hongyu knelt on the ground and watched the Queen's footsteps getting farther and farther away. She couldn't help but shout loudly: "My Queen, please save me, my Queen..."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Dayong arranged for someone to say, "First, take this girl to the Heavenly Prison. When this matter is resolved, we will send someone to investigate in detail."

Just as the palace servants were about to carry Liu Nishang back to Nishang Pavilion and lock Hongyu in the Sky Prison, Mo Mingkong, dressed in a black robe and with a cold face, came. He didn't care about anyone's expression, waved his hand and knocked the guards and eunuchs on both sides to the ground, saying:

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Since Concubine Rou said that the Queen pushed her and caused her miscarriage, and the Queen's maid Hongyu happened to be here, why did Your Majesty make a big deal out of a small matter? Could it be that you are trying to cover up for someone? Why don't we talk about this matter in front of all the ministers and the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother's heroic spirit can rest in peace."

"Mo Mingkong, you are so bold! Today is the day when the empress dowager is buried in the imperial mausoleum. How dare you humiliate her like this..." These words were said by the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yong. However, he only said half of the words before Mo Mingkong, who was impatient to listen, sent him to hell with a sword, and even shouted in the name of:

"When can this old man represent Your Majesty? Since this old man has no regard for Your Majesty and me, I might as well send him off, which will also add some joy to the Queen Mother."

Mo Mingkong killed the emperor's eunuch without blinking an eye. He really didn't take the emperor seriously. The eyes of Emperor Yong jumped, and he was full of resentment in his heart. He raised his hand to stop the guards and eunuchs from doing this and said:

"Just as the Ninth Prince said, we will try the case of Concubine Rou being pushed down and having a miscarriage."

Liu Nishang saw that the facts were different from what she had imagined, and the queen had already returned to the palace with a big belly, leaving her sitting on the ground with a miscarriage, enduring the pain of losing her child. She cried out in anger for a moment:

"Your Majesty, please save me. The Queen did not push me down on purpose, nor did she intentionally hurt the baby in my belly. Woo, woo, I am in so much pain. Your Majesty, please save me."

Hongyu followed closely and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, it was the Queen who ordered me to kill Concubine Rou because she was afraid that Concubine Rou would give birth to a prince before her. I was wrong, I shouldn't have helped the evil, but the Queen has my family in her hands, I have no choice but to obey, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
