I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Empress Zhaoyi!" Liu An looked at her apologetically, "I'm really sorry. You know what happened. The Empress is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see guests. Please come again in the future."

"That's fine." Su Minglang waved her hand. "Then please have a good rest, Your Majesty."

"Hey! Wait!" Liu An stopped Su Minglang who was about to leave. "The queen asked me to tell you something. You still have to make your own decisions."

"The queen doesn't want to go anymore."

"Her Majesty's words are ambiguous, and I don't know what they mean, but Her Majesty said that if she tells you, you will naturally understand what she means."

Liu An bowed and said, "Su Zhaoyi, the queen said that you are not to come to see her again during her three months of confinement."

"I shouldn't say this." Liu An sighed, "The queen is afraid that you will be implicated by her."

"I understand." Su Minglang's expression darkened. He nodded, turned and left, leaving Liu An alone sighing.

"Liu An!" A voice called out from inside the house. Liu An quickly put aside his worries and ran over. "My queen?"

"What are your orders?"

"Can you say what I asked you to say?" the queen asked tiredly.

"Yes, I have delivered the message."

"Then...what was her reaction?" The queen rubbed her furrowed brows and looked at the sky outside the window with lifeless eyes.

"Now that I think about it, maybe it would be a good idea to send them out of the palace together. At least they won't be trapped in the palace like this, living in mediocrity and suffering humiliation all day long."

"My queen! Please don't say such nonsense!" A trace of fear crept into Liu An's heart. "Think about the old man, think about Master Xiao Wen, and think about the fact that you haven't been able to offer sacrifices to the lady this year."

"My queen, my queen! I, your old slave, hope every day that you can let go of your worries and let things go!"

"I don't think too much about it, you don't have to worry!" The Queen looked at the old servant who wanted to cry but had no tears and said comfortingly: "Liu An, you are old now, have you ever thought about leaving the palace to spend your remaining years in peace?"

"I remember that you have a child outside the palace."

"I dare not think about those things anymore. I just hope to be able to serve you until the day you die."

"I have been serving you since you were the Crown Princess, and I have watched you get married to His Majesty. Over the years, I understand the sadness in your heart and the difficulties you have faced."

"But look at you, Madam. You have gone from being a Crown Princess to being the Queen. It has been a difficult journey, but you have managed to make it through. I only hope that you can have a man or a woman to accompany you, so that you can have someone to rely on."

"Rely on? What can I rely on?" Empress Wen smiled bitterly. "You all think I don't know that His Majesty suppresses the Wen family in the court and ignores me in the harem. Why? Isn't it because he thinks the Wen family is more powerful than his master?"

"When Your Majesty was still the crown prince, my father and grandfather wholeheartedly supported Your Majesty. At least they have served as His Majesty's successors. Now that Your Majesty's government has stabilized, they are going to take action against these ministers."

"What do you want from me? If I just behave myself, His Majesty will not take action against the Wen family? How is that possible!"

Empress Wen's eyes were red as she spoke of this emotional part. "What can't Xiao Heng do? I am his first wife! Grandfather sent him to the throne with all his heart, what else does he want the Wen family to do to him? Will he be satisfied only if we send our heads to him?"

"Your Majesty!" Liu An knelt fiercely on the ground, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"

"I know. How could I not know how difficult it is for you, Madam? But Madam, although you are the head of the harem, you are also a woman. You can only rely on His Majesty to live your whole life."

"After all, the only master in this palace is Your Majesty! I don't understand the power relationships you mentioned, but I know that in order to protect you, I can only rely on Your Majesty!"

"Preserve? What do you mean by preserve?" The Queen suddenly overturned the tea tray. "What's the point of me staying alone in this palace? If he wants my Wen family to perish, how can I live alone?"

"My queen, my queen!"

Su Minglang was completely unaware of the shrill cries in Kunning Palace. At this moment, she was wandering back and forth in the palace with an uneasy look on her face.

"Master, Master, I have found out everything!" Nan Xing ran towards Su Minglang impatiently as soon as she entered the room. "I have found out everything that happened!"

"Calm down!" Su Minglang shouted, "Where did the news come from? Is it accurate?"

"Accurate, definitely accurate! You won't believe who this servant has met!"

Nan Xing leaned against the wall and panted twice, saying intermittently: "Eunuch Xi, it's the little Xizi beside Eunuch Li!"

"Li Peidong's godson? How did you meet him?"

"I don't know what happened to Eunuch Xi. It looks like he was slapped. I saw him when I went to get information."

"He couldn't serve the emperor because of the wound on his face, so he was slacking off in the corner and was spotted by me. I happened to have some leftover wound medicine with me, so I gave it to him."

"I only mentioned it briefly, and Eunuch Xi went on to explain everything in detail."

Nan Xing paused, took the tea Xiao Ye handed over and drank it all in one gulp. "Last night, the Queen Mother sent a message to Taiji Palace saying that she had something to discuss but was sent away by His Majesty. So the Queen Mother went there in person."

"It just so happened that the emperor and his maid were doing something... that kind of thing in the room that day!" Nan Xing couldn't help blushing as she spoke, "When the queen came in, she saw the two of them in dishevel, as if they had had an argument. The queen must have said something unpleasant, and His Majesty was furious and punished her."

"The Queen is really frustrated!" Nan Xing was angry and said, "She had important matters to discuss with His Majesty, but His Majesty rejected the Queen's request just because of a palace maid and got furious because of her!"

"It's fine if you just say this here!" Su Minglang stopped her endless stream of complaints. "If you talk about this outside and someone with ulterior motives hears you, don't say that I can't take care of you!"

"I understand, master." Nan Xing stopped talking immediately after being scolded by her.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Xiao Ye pushed Nan Xing and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is already overwhelmed by what has happened, what should we do about this matter?"

"Since she doesn't want to say it, let me say it!" Su Minglang sighed slightly. Maybe she was the one who harmed the queen this time.

She pushed the matter onto the Queen, hoping that Xiao Heng would feel more guilty towards the Queen, but she didn't expect that she would end up making things worse.
