"What is going on? How could something like this happen to the Queen?" Su Minglang hurriedly ran out of the palace gate.

"Xiao Ye, prepare the sedan!"

The news of the Queen's misconduct in front of the Emperor spread throughout the six palaces overnight. When Xiao Ye told Su Minglang the news in the morning, she didn't believe it. But now that the order of punishment had been issued, she had no choice but to believe it.

"If the Queen listens to your advice, she should be able to gain a good reputation in front of His Majesty!" Xiao Ye hurriedly followed Su Minglang's footsteps and asked.

"Something must have happened that I don't know about!" Su Minglang stopped suddenly, and Xiaoye who was following her stopped and almost bumped into her.

"The Empress is still backed by the Wen family. Even if the Wen family is no longer as powerful as it was in the past, they are still the unshakable pillars of the country."

"If nothing serious had happened, Your Majesty would not have fallen out with her at this time." Su Minglang said firmly.

After all, Xiao Heng had been planning for years to get rid of Queen Wen, so it was impossible for him to just ignore it all of a sudden.

"We can't guess anything here. Let's go, Xiaoye, and ask the Queen for clarification."

Su Minglang waved to Xiaoye and walked towards Kunning Palace.

"Su Zhaoyi?"

As Su Minglang got on the sedan chair, she heard a call from not far away. She turned around and saw Li Zhao standing in the distance and saluting her.

"Lord Li?" Su Minglang paused and was a little undecided. She was very concerned about the changes on the Queen's side, and Lord Li was an outsider and it was not easy to meet him. She wanted to see both of them, but couldn't see both of them.

"Is the Concubine Zhaoyi going out?" Li Zhao took two steps forward and stopped respectfully at a suitable distance. "It seems that I have come at the wrong time."

"I wonder if Lord Li is busy with official business today?" Su Minglang turned around and nodded slightly and asked.

"The Dali Temple is in charge of the affairs of the imperial city, so it doesn't have much time." Li Zhao still had that cynical look on his face with a smile on his face.

"It's a pity." Su Minglang nodded. "Lord Li is very busy with official duties. I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip today."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just passing through the palace." Li Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, "If Empress Zhaoyi has something to do, just go ahead and do it."

"Sir Li." Su Minglang thought for a moment, jumped off the sedan chair, walked straight to Li Zhao, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I have something to ask of you, but there is indeed an important incident today. I am really sorry to have asked you to make a wasted trip."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. I already owe you a favor, so I am here to serve you at any time."

Su Minglang looked at him deeply, nodded slightly, turned around and got on the sedan chair, "Xiao Ye, let's go!"

Li Zhao stood there and watched Su Minglang's receding back, his eyes filled with deep interest.

"Master, His Majesty is so angry this time, I wonder what the Queen did." Xiao Ye looked at the direction that was getting closer and closer with some worry, "Now that the decree has just been issued, you are going to visit Kunning Palace. I wonder if His Majesty will implicate you because of this!"

"No, don't worry." Su Minglang shook his head. "The Queen was put in solitary confinement by him. Seeing that everything needed for the blessing was being prepared non-stop, who else can he use in this palace besides the Queen? Concubine Gu Shu?"

"What's more, the Wen family and the Su family are one civil and one military, and the civil and military officials have always been dissatisfied with each other, and they are also tit-for-tat in the court. Since there is no connection, there is no threat, so how could he care."

"Even so, the Queen was punished for being disrespectful in front of the Emperor. If you continue to have anything to do with her, will people think too much of you?"

"What others think is their business." Su Minglang frowned and said indifferently: "I don't need a good reputation."

"you……"

"We're here!" Su Minglang interrupted what Xiao Ye was about to say, patted her head soothingly, "Don't worry, I have my own competition in mind."

"Su Zhaoyi?" A guard saw the sedan chair stopped and stepped forward to greet her. "Who are you?"

"I'm here to ask for an audience with the Queen." Su Minglang nodded and said.

"This..." The guard said with some embarrassment: "His Majesty has ordered the Queen to be confined, and I dare not let you in on my own."

"Your Majesty only said that the punishment is confinement, but did he say that no one is allowed to visit?" Su Minglang raised her voice and threatened: "I am assisting the Queen in handling the blessing matters. If this delays the matter, can you bear the punishment from His Majesty?"

"This, this..." The young guard was instantly confused, with cold sweat all over his forehead, "Your subordinate, your subordinate is just..."

"I am just a guard at the gate. Please don't embarrass me, Madam Zhaoyi."

"Then call your captain!" Su Minglang scolded impatiently, "I am very busy and have no time to waste here."

"Praying for blessings is a serious matter. Any small mistake can lead to disaster. If you delay it and it is not done well in time, I will report you to His Majesty!"

"No, no! I will make way for you!" The little guard's legs softened and he quickly turned sideways to make way for her. "Your Highness, please come in!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye snorted and glared at him in dissatisfaction, then helped Su Minglang walk towards the door.

"Eunuch Liu!" Xiao Ye spotted Liu An wandering outside and called out.

"Xiao Ye? Su Zhaoyi!" Liu An looked at Su Minglang calmly in surprise, "How did Empress Zhaoyi get in?"

"I am here to assist the Empress in handling the blessing matters. This is an important matter and naturally no one dares to stop me." Su Minglang said calmly, "Eunuch Liu, what happened to the Empress?"

"How could it cause His Majesty to be so furious?"

"This..." Liu An glanced at the inner hall with a cryptic expression, "Su Zhaoyi, you'd better not ask. The queen is in a bad mood, so I'm afraid she doesn't want to see the guests."

"The Queen is so sudden, I feel uneasy. I'd better trouble the eunuch to tell her that I can only feel better after seeing the Queen."

"That's all!" Liu An sighed fiercely, "If the Queen is willing to see you, I have to thank you."

"I will go in and tell her now. Please wait for a moment, Su Zhaoyi."

"Of course." Su Minglang nodded and watched Liu An walk into the inner hall.

"Master, have you noticed? This is only the first day of confinement, why is the Kunning Palace so deserted?" Xiao Ye looked around and asked in confusion.

"It's really strange." Su Minglang also looked around and indeed did not see the groups of palace maids and eunuchs as in the past. "Perhaps the Queen is in a bad mood and drove them all out?"
