The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The queen stroked her belly with a worried and concerned look on her face, but a feeling of bitterness rose in her heart.

From the moment he entered Fengyi Palace until now, His Majesty didn't care at all about the assassinated dancer, and his words were full of heartache for Zhaoyue.

She sighed, laughed at herself, and spoke with sadness: "Those who were in charge of the birthday banquet will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. I'm sure no one will dare to casually implicate the imperial concubine."

Concubine Gao knelt on the ground, her body trembling: "Empress... Who can bear the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment? If someone confesses under torture, then I will be framed for nothing!"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked into the queen's eyes and clenched her fingers.

Even if no one implicated her, once she was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, they could just find someone to take the blame. The birthday party was originally organized by her, so who would be so bold as to push the blame onto someone else!

No matter what she does, it's a dead end.

The smile on Concubine Gao's lips became more and more desolate, and she looked at Zhu Dingyuan tenderly and lovingly: "Your Majesty, I may be jealous of Concubine Zhao, and every woman you favor.

But I put so much effort into the birthday banquet, hoping to win your majesty's favor. How could I be so stupid?"

Caiyue knelt down hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen couldn't eat for the birthday banquet, and stayed up day and night to practice dancing, just to make Your Majesty smile at the birthday banquet."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her face, her loose hair, and the tears that rolled down were crystal clear, making her skin look even more smooth.

His expression remained unchanged: "If we can't find the person, and can't arrest him and take him to the Ministry of Punishment, then I..."

The Queen: "Your Majesty, there are many people who work in the Imperial Kitchen. You should first detain them and interrogate them carefully."

"Kill him."

The kneeling concubine raised her eyes with a hint of surprise, and the queen frowned: "Your Majesty..."

Who do you want to kill?

Zhu Dingyuan held Zhaoyue's hand, his eyes softened: "Since the murderer cannot be found, everyone is the murderer. My Yue'er has suffered, and I am very sad."

He turned around and gave the queen a gentle smile: "Kill all the people in the imperial kitchen."

Huang Quan knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring out of his back: "Your Majesty!"

The queen's face turned pale. She looked at the man's gentle smile and felt it was unfamiliar. A sense of fear made her whole body cold.

Zhu Dingyuan placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Noble Concubine Gao, you are confined to the Yanxi Palace and cannot leave unless summoned. The Queen is in poor health, so you should stay in Fengyi Palace and take good care of your pregnancy."

He looked at Concubine Fang and said, "Concubine Fang is courageous and resolute. She has protected Concubine Zhao from harm. She is promoted to Concubine."

Concubine Fang was still immersed in his words "kill them all". She was stunned when she heard these words and bowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Send Concubine Zhao to Chuntang Palace!" Zhu Dingyuan waved his sleeves.

The queen looked at his back, and was supported by Xun Qiu to sit on the couch. Her hands were extremely cold: "You, all of you should go away."

Ning Ruxin and the others left quickly, leaving Concubine Gao sitting on the ground.

Caiyue reached out to help her, but she pushed her hand away: "I have something to say to the Queen."

The queen looked at her and said, "Okay, everyone get out."

Fengyi Palace was extremely quiet, with only the whistling of the wind outside the window. From afar, it sounded like a woman crying and wailing, which was unpleasant.

The Queen rubbed her temples and said, "I am pregnant with the heir to the throne, and my body is heavy, so I will not support Concubine Gao."

Concubine Gao sneered, stood up from the ground, looked at the innocent expression on the Queen's face, and laughed softly several times.

"Empress, today someone wants to kill Concubine Zhao, someone wants to kill Your Majesty, and someone is framing me. Tell me, who will be the most proud and benefit the most?"

"My dear concubine, you are tired." The queen opened her eyes and smiled at her.

"Now your dragon heir is treated like a treasure by the imperial kitchen. All meals are carefully prepared in Fengyi Palace. Whatever you want, you will have it."

Concubine Gao looked at her fake smile, her graceful appearance, and her attitude of being the mother of the country, and felt really sick: "Nangong Yunyun, your body was already exhausted, what kind of evil magic did you use to bring it back to life?"

"God bless you." The Queen said coldly, "His Majesty has confined you to your room. Don't say these nonsense again in the future, lest you cause more annoyance."

The queen stood up and said, "It's late, Xunqiu, please send the concubine back."

"Hahahahahaha!" Concubine Gao's cloak slipped down, revealing her white shoulders.

"Your Majesty has changed. Even if he has confined me, what does it matter? Your Majesty saw my dance today. He will not forget it. He will not forget it."

Concubine Gao stroked the empress's belly and said, "Your Highness is pregnant with the heir to the throne. You should not get involved in the fight for favors anymore. Otherwise...the people who were killed will not be able to find your sister, so they will go looking for your child..."

"Noble Concubine Gao!" The Queen stepped back: "Why don't you send the noble concubine out!"

"Yes." Caiyue and Xunqiu came in, and Concubine Gao put on her cloak and said, "I will go by myself."

Xun Qiu closed the window and walked to the side of the queen: "Your Majesty..."

"Xunqiu, Concubine Zhao was poisoned, and His Majesty killed everyone in the imperial kitchen for her."

The queen's eyes were hazy, with a hint of doubt: "If I harm her, will His Majesty kill me too?"

"Your Majesty, you are pregnant with the dragon heir! How could His Majesty kill you? Everything Your Majesty has done is for His Majesty." Xun Qiu comforted her.

"For the sake of Concubine Zhao, she massacred dozens of people. If this isn't a witch concubine, then what is it? Your Majesty wants to kill Concubine Zhao so that Your Majesty will not be bewitched by the witch concubine. Your Majesty will understand."

"Really..." The queen coughed a few times, feeling dizzy and having a huge stomachache: "Medicine, give me medicine!"

Xun Qiu quickly fed the pill into her mouth: "My lady, there is not much medicine left. Now the Jinyiwei has been replaced by someone else. I don't know how deep it is. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to go out."

"Newcomers are the easiest to control." The queen took a breath and her complexion looked better.

"Pick out the good ones from the dead and send them away."

"My lady, please wait a few days."

"My child can't wait! Go quickly! Ask the miracle doctor to make some more for me. I will agree to anything he asks!" The queen's tone was grim.

Xun Qiu had no choice but to lower his head: "Yes."

The queen stood up, walked into the courtyard, looked at the eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and a few tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Nowadays, the palace closest to Your Majesty is Chuntang Palace.

Chuntang.

Spring is like a strong wine in a glass, making the crabapple tree drunk and powerless.

It's wonderful.

Xun Qiu covered her with his cloak, and seeing her tears, he called out softly, "My Lady..."

The queen closed her eyes and said, "Tell Ning Changzai that I will take care of the aftermath for her. If she is sensible, she will know what to do."

"Someone replied, saying that Ning Changzai is sometimes infatuated and stupid, and keeps muttering about Long Si and Madam... Is it necessary to keep such a person?"

"If you have something to ask for, nature will be easier to control." The queen smiled, as if the tears had never appeared.

"She wants a dragon heir, and she is so eager. Besides me, who else can give her one!"

"Yes."
