Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Shen Zhiyao glared at Hu Xiaoyi: "The Queen has sacrificed so much for the country of Zhao. Now that I am the assistant, I really understand. Doesn't the Emperor know this? If the Queen hadn't been there, how many things would have happened in the harem?"

"Hu Xiaoyi is worthy of being born in the prime minister's mansion. She has a very good upbringing, and yet she dares to say that she wants to replace the queen. The thief cries thief, and you are the one who is talking about it, right?"

Finally, Shen Zhiyao looked at Hu Xiaoyi and sneered: "Prime Minister Hu was able to train someone like you and even rushed to send you to the palace. I wonder if this is considered a dereliction of duty by the current prime minister? Or was it Prime Minister Hu who did it on purpose?"

Shen Zhiyao accidentally hit upon some facts, and Hu Xiaoyi turned pale with shock. She hated to see others blaming her father, so she waited angrily for Shen Zhiyao: "Jin Shuyi! Since you are one of the nine concubines, you should abide by the rules. How can you slander and accuse the Prime Minister of Zhao State? How disrespectful!"

"Oh, as a third-rank concubine, it's wrong for me to criticize the prime minister. Then, is it right for you, Xiaoyi, to make sarcastic comments about the current queen? Oh, you really deserve to be the daughter of the prime minister. The same accusation is not acceptable to your family, but it is reasonable to put it on me. What? Is the Hu family more special than the queen?"

Shen Zhiyao said with a sly smile: "Oh... I see, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion are more noble than the royal family? What is this for?"

Shen Zhiyao was almost about to speak out about the conspiracy.

Hu Xiaoyi was like a cat that was poked in the buttocks. She said angrily: "Jin Shuyi, as a concubine, how can you spread rumors about important officials of the court! You! You! You are really..."

"What do you want to accuse me of? Treason? Then take this excuse and go to the Emperor to sue me." Shen Zhiyao said slowly, with a smile on her face.

Hu Xiaoyi was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she felt guilty. She had not eaten breakfast in the morning and rushed over. She felt the blood rushing up, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

Everyone was shocked, but no one dared to step forward to help her, for fear of being accused of something.

Everyone watched Hu Xiaoyi fall straight to the ground.

At this moment, the queen came out.

"What happened to Hu Xiaoyi?" The queen saw someone lying on the ground and wanted to go forward to take a closer look.

Shen Zhiyao hurried forward to support the queen, explained what happened before, and then helped the queen to the upper seat, saying with a smile: "Your Majesty is a noble woman, and you are pregnant with the emperor's heir. You can't look at dirty things. Please sit down and let me handle it."

The hall was in chaos, and everyone forgot to greet each other. The queen naturally had no intention of paying attention to these things.

Shen Zhiyao just gave Shijin a wink, and Shijin walked forward and picked up Hu Xiaoyi's upper body.

Shen Zhiyao came closer, stretched out her hand to feel his breath, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm breathing freely."

After saying that, he walked steadily to the table, brought over the half-drunk tea, took a big sip, and sprayed it on Hu Xiaoyi's face.

Hu Xiaoyi was fine to begin with, but she woke up instantly after being sprayed by her. She wiped the tea off her face and cried, "Empress, Jin Shuyi is bullying others and humiliating the Prime Minister. I can no longer tolerate this. Please help me, Empress!"

"Empress, I have only spoken some honest words based on my personal experiences. What crime have I committed? I have not disrespected the Emperor and the Empress. As a member of the royal family, how can you say such things about a minister?" Shen Zhiyao retorted.

"Okay, everyone, sit down. Why make such an awkward scene so early in the morning?" The queen smiled but did not blame anyone.

Seeing that the queen was trying to smooth things over again, Hu Xiaoyi spoke first, "Your Majesty, you can't be so partial to Jin Shuyi! I, your concubine..."

"Alright! I know everything that happened just now. Since some of you think that I'm not a good person, why do you come to me to judge the case at this time? If you think that I'm biased, you can ask the emperor to judge the case. I'm always here to help." The queen's tone was cold, and she was intimidating without being angry.

Seeing that the queen was secretly angry, Hu Xiaoyi finally calmed down and stepped aside obediently.

Only then did everyone come to their senses and hurried to pay their respects to the Queen.

"Okay, everyone sit down and talk." The queen regained her usual gentleness and waved her hand calmly.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while, when the emperor suddenly came to Fengyi Palace.

The emperor didn't seem to have any business this time, and looked relaxed.

After everyone paid their respects, the Queen signaled to Concubine Zhang, who was more talkative, to repeat to the Emperor exactly what had just happened.

Although Zhang Bin's learning was a bit exaggerated, it basically restored the facts.

"Your Majesty, Jin Shuyi did say some angry words, but they were all out of injustice for me. I hope Your Majesty will not blame her." At the end, the Queen added lightly.

Bo Muxi glanced at the queen meaningfully: "Yes."

He just said "hmm" and passed the matter over lightly. Hu Xiaoyi only felt a pang of bitterness in her chest.

No matter how low the rank of a concubine is, she is still the emperor's woman. If she criticizes the officials of the previous dynasty, as long as the emperor does not pursue it, it cannot be taken seriously.

Bo Muxi sat on the upper seat and drank two sips of tea before he slowly spoke: "Jin Shuyi said something that I deeply agree with. There has been a lot of noise these past two days. I have thought about it for a long time. The queen did have some faults. People are not saints, but..."

"Generally speaking, the queen's merits far outweigh her faults. Compared with some of her greater achievements, some minor faults are completely harmless." At this point, Bo Muxi even smiled.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.

Shen Zhiyao stepped out of the line, bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise. Since I entered the palace, I have never seen the Empress make mistakes in handling affairs, but I have taken the blame for some of the Empresses."

Having said this, Shen Zhiyao glanced at Concubine Zhao and the others, and the latter's expression tightened.

"The Queen Mother has done nothing wrong, but she has been slandered by people with ulterior motives. Some people even took the opportunity to propose deposing her. This is really nonsense! This time I have really seen what it means when selfish desires and greed drive people crazy!" Shen Zhiyao sighed.

Shen Zhiyao observed the emperor's expression and saw that he nodded repeatedly. She smiled and added, "Your Majesty should have cleared the Empress's name earlier. It is because you have been ambiguous that some people have tried to spy on the emperor's intentions and wait for an opportunity to act at any time."

After saying that, she glared at Hu Xiaoyi again.

Everyone was stunned. What was Jin Shuyi doing? Blaming the emperor?

Everyone looked at the emperor, only to see Bo Muxi tense for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Bo Muxi looked at the queen, his pair of phoenix eyes smiling, and pointed at Shen Zhiyao and said, "Queen, look, Jin Shuyi is accusing me of mishandling the matter!"

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with what you said. All of us here are your women. Your Majesty is too busy and has ignored us. I was just complaining casually. How can that be considered an accusation?" Shen Zhiyao said.
