I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

The imperial concubine's expression changed slightly, then she put on a smile and asked the palace servant to help her up.

"My lady, you are here. You almost can't see me."

Hearing the Queen's voice, Ning Zhiyi put away the three parts of sneer, four parts of indifference, and three parts of neurosis on her face, and replaced it with a pitiful expression of a little person who had suffered a great injustice, and snuggled up to the Queen like a young swallow.

"See the Queen."

The Queen ignored the Imperial Concubine's greetings and pulled Ning Zhiyi to look her up and down several times, "Quickly show me, are you injured anywhere?"

"Yes, I'm hurt!" Ning Zhiyi curled her lips and said loudly, "My heart has been deeply hurt. Your Majesty, you don't know that those palace servants wanted to drag me out and make me kneel. I was almost scared to death just now."

Several palace servants kneeling on the ground: ...

Several people were even more terrified. It seemed that they were the ones who were frightened to death just now?

The Queen's nervous expression froze, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she gently touched her head and blinked at her, as if to say:

Just wait, I will avenge you!

The queen raised her eyes slightly and glanced down at the imperial concubine who was kneeling on the ground with an uneasy look on her face. Her tone was gentle but dignified.

"You want to kill the children of meritorious officials, are you qualified, Imperial Concubine?"

A group of palace maids knelt on the ground with their heads clasped to the ground, wishing their ears would disappear. The queen had a kind and generous personality and most of the time she would never scold the concubines directly, and she would never scold someone in such a harsh tone.

The imperial concubine trembled and hatred flashed in her eyes. She was a dignified imperial concubine, but the queen actually disrespected her like this. The third prince did not expect that his words would be heard by the queen, and he immediately pleaded for his mother.

"Forgive me, mother. The Imperial Concubine didn't mean that..."

"The Third Prince means that I am slandering the Imperial Concubine in front of so many eyes?"

"I dare not. What I mean is that the Imperial Concubine made an unintentional mistake. I am willing to apologize to Miss Ning on behalf of the Imperial Concubine. Please forgive me, Miss Ning."

The Queen: "A noble concubine of a country speaks rudely. I'm afraid it's because she has worn this dress for too long and has forgotten the palace rules. Then copy them five hundred times."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Neither the Imperial Concubine nor the Third Prince dared to mention Ning Zhiyi's crime. Instead, they were afraid that the Queen would bring up the matter.

"I hope that Your Majesty will be more careful with your words and actions in the future. If you make this kind of mistake again, you will not be able to wear this dress."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions." When it comes to the position of noble concubine, the most important thing is face. Today, the Queen completely stripped her of her face!

When the Queen caught her doing something wrong, the Imperial Concubine did not dare to show her displeasure but suppressed her hatred deep in her heart in the hope of taking revenge in the future.

"I will give you a chance to defend yourself. Tell me why you are so angry."

Ning Zhiyi couldn't help laughing out loud and looked at the Queen with bright eyes, while the Imperial Concubine was shaking with anger!

The Queen has already punished the Imperial Concubine, which means she has already learned what happened. Now she wants the Imperial Concubine to explain it orally, which means that the Queen wants to punish her twice for the same crime!

The imperial concubine suddenly raised her head and looked at the queen angrily, "Queen, you are deliberately targeting me, I..."

"Pa!" The Queen slapped her in the face. The Imperial Concubine valued her face the most, so every move of the Queen was aimed at her "face", which was what she valued the most.

"If you are disrespecting your superiors, drag them away and give them twenty strokes of the cane!"

The Third Prince almost lost the generosity on his face and knelt down, begging for mercy. "Please forgive me, mother. The Imperial Concubine is too weak to bear such punishment. I am willing to take her place."

"No, no..." The Imperial Concubine had already noticed the Queen's intention. She was trying to tear off the faces of both mother and son. The Third Prince's move was probably exactly what the Queen wanted.

"The Third Prince is very filial. Take him along with you."

[System, the Queen is so handsome, I love her so much.]

After the two were dragged out, Ning Zhiyi changed her image of a delicate little flower and started to happily flatter others.

"My queen, you are like a goddess who came to save me with colorful clouds and rays of light. You love me. Without you, I don't know what I would do today."

"You little clever girl, look at the trouble you have caused in the Imperial Concubine's Palace. I'm afraid that even if I don't come, you will have a way to escape." The Queen took a look at the mess in the Imperial Concubine's Palace and teased her with a smile.

"Hehe, no, I'm just a weak little girl who can't help myself. Without the queen saving me, how could I escape from the palace of the noble concubine who is a cannibal?"

Ning Zhiyi deliberately acted funny to make the queen happy, and the queen laughed sweetly because of her.

The system also kept praising the queen, [Host, the queen's professional ability has become stronger. I don't know when she discovered the traitor in the palace, and she has almost eliminated all the traitors. ]

The queen's smile faded slightly. It was almost pulled out, but that meant it was not completely pulled out.

[Tong'er, tell me who the traitor is. I want to expose her.]

System: [This person is the Queen's personal maid, Wan He. She is the Queen's confidant and has served the Queen since she was a child. When the Queen was investigating the traitor, she did not suspect her at all.]

[Or rather, the Queen never doubted her, let alone guarded against her! ]

[The last time the Queen was poisoned, it was her doing! ]

The queen's shoulder was in pain from time to time. Ning Zhiyi stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. She gritted her teeth in anger and said, "This traitor, system, point out this palace maid to me. I want to eradicate this cancer for the queen!"

The system panicked, [Host, calm down, you can't just say it directly, it will be exposed, let's take a long-term view, maybe the queen will find this cancer herself in the future, do you have a better way to expose this maid? ]
