Qi Wuyou pretended not to hear the screams behind her. She believed Lianxiang knew her limits and would not beat anyone to death.

Qi Wuyou looked at the palace maids who were being whipped. Xiao Zhezi understood and asked someone to call those palace maids to Qi Wuyou.

When the palace maids saw their masters being beaten, they were afraid of being beaten too. After being called over, they knelt down hurriedly, not even daring to raise their heads.

Qi Wuyou glanced at the person who was screaming behind him and asked, "Who is this person?"

Those palace maids looked at each other, but no one answered Qi Wuyou's question.

Xiao Zhezi coughed and said, "I'm asking you a question. Are you all mute?"

The sound was not loud, but the palace maids were still frightened and their heads banged loudly.

Qi Wuyou frowned. What was going on?

"Stop knocking," Qi Wuyou said, "Who is she?"

The maids looked at each other again, and finally one who looked older said hesitantly, "Yes... Her Majesty the Queen."

Qi Wuyou frowned even more tightly, thinking that he should put the woman's identity aside for the time being and figure out what was going on first.

Qi Wuyou thought for a moment and asked again, "Are you her maids?"

The maid nodded again, then seemed to feel that this was not a good idea, and whispered back, "Yes."

Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows and tried to slow down his tone, "Which palace are you from?"

The palace maid kowtowed again and whispered, "It's Chengqian Palace."

Qi Wuyou scratched his head, turned around and asked Xiao Zhezi, "Which palace is this?"

Xiao Zhezi thought for a moment and said, "It should be the former residence of Concubine Rong."

Qi Wuyou nodded and asked the palace maid, "Where were you originally from?"

They didn't even recognize her. Either they had never seen her before, or they were just maids who had recently entered the palace.

The maid replied in a low voice, "The laundry department."

Qi Wuyou said "hmm" and asked, "You all?"

The palace maids nodded upon hearing this.

Qi Wuyou felt that it was troublesome to talk to them, and asked again, "How do you go back to Chengqian Palace to work?"

"It was the Empress," the maid said, looking at the person being beaten, "She was the one who transferred us here to serve her."

Qi Wuyou nodded and asked Xiao Zhezi, "What is your majesty doing now?"

Xiao Zhezi replied, "He should still be busy with government affairs."

Qi Wuyou nodded, "Then I'll take care of it. It should be fine."

Xiao Zhezi smiled and said, "I think your Majesty doesn't know about this either. It is your duty to handle this matter."

Qi Wuyou pouted, "Are you saying that I'm not doing my job properly?"

Normally she was too lazy to take care of these official duties, and she thought that nothing would go wrong in the palace. Who would have thought that someone would dare to impersonate her?

Xiao Zhezi smiled playfully, "This lady has misunderstood me, how dare I do that?"

The way the master and servant get along with each other stunned the palace maids. They all looked at each other. Aren't all the masters in this palace pretentious? How can they be so easy-going?

Seeing Qi Wuyou's eyes sweeping over them, several people trembled and lowered their heads.

Qi Wuyou glanced at their backs and ordered, "Find a doctor to check them out."

Xiao Zhezi nodded, "Yes," and turned to call a eunuch, "Safe."

A eunuch who was about fifteen or sixteen years old walked up to him quickly and said, "Eunuch Zhe."

Xiao Zhezi said, "Go and get a doctor." Xiao Zhezi thought for a moment and asked, "Where should I go? Your Majesty."

Qi Wuyou looked at Xiao Zhezi for a long time before coming back to his senses and said, "It just so happens that He Xiang is in our palace, let her take care of it."

Xiao Zhezi nodded and looked at Ping An again, "Did you hear that? Go ahead."

Ping An received the order, but the palace maids did not dare to move.

Xiao Zhezi sighed, "Your Majesty, please go quickly."

"Yes," at this point, the palace maids hurriedly thanked the emperor, left, and followed Ping An.

Qi Wuyou sat for a while, and when the noise behind her gradually became quieter, she let Xiao Zhezi push her over.

Looking at the figure in front of him, covered in blood, crawling on the ground motionlessly.

Xiao Zhezi stepped forward and kicked him, then asked, "Sister, you didn't beat this guy to death, did you?"

Lian Xiang rolled her eyes. "How is that possible? I know my limits. This injury looks serious, but it's actually just a flesh wound."

Xiao Zhezi wanted to say more, but he never expected that the man was pretending to be dead. He suddenly jumped up and bit Xiao Zhezi on the calf.

Lianxiang whipped him again and the man let go.

Little Zhezi sat on the ground in pain. Lianxiang got angry when she saw him like that, "Why did you get so close? You deserve to be bitten."

Xiao Zhezi was angry but dared not say anything. After the pain in his legs subsided, he slowly stood behind Qi Wuyou and looked at Lianxiang with a resentful look in his eyes.

Qi Wuyou glanced at Xiao Zhezi soothingly, then glared at Lianxiang before asking, "I'll give you a chance. If you confess who you are, where you are from, and why you want to pretend to be the queen, I'll let you live."

"Your Majesty..." Lianxiang wanted to say that impersonating the queen was a serious crime and should not be forgiven lightly, but she was stopped by Qi Wuyou's eyes.

The man sneered, his face was covered with blood, but his eyes were full of resentment, "I am the queen, the only queen of Xuan Kingdom, you bitch, if His Majesty finds out, he will definitely not let you go."

Qi Wuyou was still stubborn and refused to order the killing. He just said, "Leave it to Liu He to deal with it."

People in the palace didn't know Qi Wuyou, but they all knew Liu He, who was the chief eunuch beside the emperor. He was ruthless and anyone who fell into his hands would have no good ending.

Sure enough, when the woman heard this, her body shrank noticeably. It seems that Liu He's reputation works.

Qi Wuyou smiled and said, "I suddenly changed my mind, Xile."

A eunuch came out from behind and walked behind Qi Wuyou, "Madam."

Qi Wuyou ordered, "Go, call Liu He over."

Xile nodded in agreement and left, heading towards the imperial study.

The woman looked obviously flustered, but she still held on to her luck and said viciously, "Wait, when Eunuch Liu comes, he will prove my innocence."

Qi Wuyou smiled and said, "If you are really the queen, you don't need anyone else to prove your innocence. Besides..."

Qi Wuyou paused deliberately, "The Queen is His Majesty's only concubine, and she calls Liu He by her name."

"How do you know?" the woman blurted out.

Qi Wuyou spread his hands and said, "Guess."

The woman came to her senses and said, "My queen, please spare me. I was confused for a moment. Please spare me, my queen."

What doesn't the woman understand now? The little girl in front of her, sitting in a wheelchair, is the queen.

I heard that the queen is kind and will forgive her as long as she apologizes sincerely. If Eunuch Liu comes later, he will definitely skin her alive.

Lian Xiang sneered and whipped him again, "You're scared now, what did you do before? It's too late!"
