"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience." After the voice inside died down, the eunuch standing far away dared to report the matter tremblingly outside the door. His body was trembling slightly because of nervousness, and his voice was also trembling. After he finished speaking, he quietly and carefully waited for the Emperor's response, his heart filled with anxiety and fear.

At this time, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something important. After hearing the eunuch's report, he slowly raised his head, revealing a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Let her wait!"

The young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, bowed quickly, and then walked out.

The queen was waiting anxiously outside the palace, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness. Years of self-cultivation made her manners and appearance look normal, still dignified and elegant, as if everything was under her control. She held an envelope tightly in her sleeves, occasionally glancing into the palace, trying to peek into the palace through the closed door.

After receiving the eunuch's reply, she nodded slightly and signaled the maid behind her to give the eunuch a bag of silver. Then, she asked softly, "How is the emperor?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was just concerned about the emperor's physical condition. In fact, she wanted to find out how the emperor felt.

After thanking the Queen, the young eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is very angry and smashed his favorite fan in recent days." His voice was slightly low, revealing a hint of nervousness and fear.

The queen frowned slightly, thinking to herself that the emperor was not a moody person, and such a big mood swing must be because he was angry. She sighed softly, wondering if the things she brought were useful.

The nanny beside her smiled and stuffed another bag of silver into the eunuch's hand, and said to him in a kind voice: "Thank you, eunuch. You go about your business. I will wait here with our queen. When the emperor has time and wants to see our queen, please help pass on the message." The young eunuch refused once but failed, so he took the silver, bowed to thank him and left.

The emperor stayed with Zhu Wenyun in the imperial study for a while. When his emotions were almost stable, he said to the eunuch waiting at the door: "Let her in."

The queen had a delicate face as usual, with a fresh and elegant makeup, but today she was a little different. She did not wear the phoenix robe that symbolized power and majesty, but chose a gorgeous robe as white as snow. The material of this robe was soft and smooth, as light as silk, and it was slightly shimmering. Its tailoring was exquisite and delicate, fitting her figure skillfully, outlining her graceful and moving curves.

At this time, Zhu Wenyun was no longer in the imperial study, and only the emperor and the empress were left. When the emperor's eyes fell on the empress, he couldn't help but be stunned. The scene in front of him reminded him of the moment when Prince Jing's mother passed away. At that time, the empress was also like this, wearing a plain white dress, silently offering a condolence for Prince Jing's mother.

In the entire palace, she was the only one who understood his deepest feelings, and he used this way to express his remembrance of Prince Jing's mother. So, when Empress Shangguan passed away and she and her mother's family competed for this position, he did not hesitate to give the position to her and bestowed on her the title of "Xiaoxian". The position of Empress was just a temporary occupation, so what was wrong with giving it to anyone?

But, why is she wearing this now?

Dressed like this after her son assassinated Xian'er?

Dressing like this when her son's affair was about to be exposed?

Does she think she is someone who is easy to control?

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
