"Mother, this is not just Jin Shuyi's fault. Since the matter involves the eldest prince, Concubine Zhao is also responsible for negligence. After all... there has to be an explanation." The queen said softly.

"Yes, the Queen is right. The eldest prince made mistakes mainly because his mother did not discipline him strictly." Bo Muxi strongly supported the Queen.

Queen Mother Zhao looked at them coldly. The emperor and the empress were determined to protect Shen Zhiyao.

"Emperor, think about how much humiliation and injustice you and I, mother and son, have suffered from the favorite concubine Sun. I don't want to..." Queen Mother Zhao was going to exaggerate and compare Shen Zhiyao to Sun, who relied on the favor of the late emperor to do many evil things.

When Queen Mother Zhao played the emotional card, she was determined to skin Shen Zhiyao alive, or at least demote her.

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi and the Queen had to remain silent for a while.

This past is so profound that if we continue to refute it, it would be disrespectful and a denial of Queen Mother Zhao.

"Jin Shuyi, do you have anything to say?" Queen Mother Zhao was still experienced. Seeing that the emperor and the empress were unable to refute her, she turned her gun around and "fired" directly at Shen Zhiyao.

"I cannot bear to see Your Majesty, as the mother of a country, have to endure such injustice in silence!"

Shen Zhiyao was neither humble nor arrogant. When she spoke, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"Since I entered the palace, I have seen many things done by Concubine Zhao, and even more so, many compromises made by the Empress. If it was anything else, I would have tolerated it. But now that she has raised a prince, she dares to treat the Queen Mother like this? Could it be that she can act so recklessly just because of her special family background? I do not accept this!"

Since there was an 80% chance that she wouldn't be able to get past this, Shen Zhiyao might as well just speak out.

"Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress Dowager! It was all done by that audacious dog slave. I and the eldest prince are innocent victims..." Concubine Zhao was obviously not convinced and cried with tears and snot.

"Haha, that's also a servant who works for you wholeheartedly! Who are you doing those things for? Such a loyal servant, but when the time comes, you really trample him to death! Which servant will dare to work for you in the future?" Shen Zhiyao's face was full of contempt.

"No matter how badly Concubine Zhao behaves, is it your turn to come and beat her up?" Queen Mother Zhao shouted angrily.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother is right. I was impulsive..." Facing the Queen Mother, Shen Zhiyao did not talk back. She still maintained respect for her elders and knelt down to apologize.

"Since you know your mistake, you must be severely punished! There should be a rule in the palace. How dare a person of lower position be so disrespectful to a higher position?" Queen Mother Zhao pressed on step by step, intending to convict Shen Zhiyao of disrespect in court and demote her.

But at this moment, no one expected that Shen Zhiyao, who was kneeling upright on the ground, suddenly fainted without any warning.

Qiuyue and Chu'an were immediately frightened. Bo Muxi quickly ran to Shen Zhiyao and hugged her in his arms.

"My beloved... My beloved..." Bo Muxi called out a few times, but the woman in his arms became paler and paler, without any response.

The queen also ran up and touched her face, which was cold. She was really faint and was definitely not pretending.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Concubine Zhao was both happy and angry.

What makes me happy is that Shen Zhiyao got her retribution; what makes me angry is that the emperor and the empress still care so much about this bitch.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Bo Muxi ordered in a deep voice and picked up Princess Shen Zhiyao.

"Call Imperial Physician Qiu!" The Queen was afraid that the other imperial physicians were unreliable, so she specifically selected one of her own.

The servant who was perceptive immediately brought up the chaise longue and placed it in the hall. Then Bo Muxi carefully placed the person in his arms on the chaise longue to rest.

"Your Majesty, Jin Shuyi is in this state now. We cannot delay any further. We should send her back to Cuiweixuan first! We can make further plans after she is better." The Queen suggested with a frown.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Concubine Zhao widened her eyes in disbelief and shouted, "Your Majesty! How can you handle this matter so hastily! Moreover, how can it be so strange? She fainted at this time!"

"Noble Concubine Zhao! As a noble concubine, you should be broad-minded. Jin Shuyi has fainted, and I have examined her myself. How could she be lying? Stop being unreasonable!" The Queen didn't give her any face and just waved her sleeves and scolded her.

"Empress! You are the mother of the nation, how can you be so partial? Is this how you set an example for us?" Concubine Zhao was so angry that she simply jumped up and fought with the Empress.

"Shut up!" Bo Muxi suddenly went berserk: "Empress Zhao! Now that everyone is fainted, what else do you want?"

Concubine Zhao felt heartbroken when the emperor scolded her, and her eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness when she looked at Bo Muxi.

"Okay. The Queen is really thoughtful. Chu'an, send your master back to Cuiweixuan to recuperate, and I will go later." Bo Muxi said.

"I obey your command." Chu An agreed. Not daring to delay, he immediately asked someone to carry Shen Zhiyao onto the sedan chair.

"Concubine Zhao, don't accuse the Queen of being partial." Bo Muxi turned to Concubine Zhao and said, "I will investigate this matter in detail and will give you an explanation."

Bo Muxi did not want to irritate Concubine Zhao too much, so he said in a gentle tone: "Okay, I will also ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to come and take a good look at you, so that you don't get any problems."

"Please go back to the palace first, mother. I will deal with the matter impartially." Bo Muxi turned around again and bowed respectfully to Queen Mother Zhao.

"Emperor, as the ruler of a country, you must pay more attention to the law enforcement of your country and must not act arbitrarily and emotionally." Queen Mother Zhao frowned.

"Yes, mother. I will keep your teachings in mind." Bo Muxi bowed and agreed.

Queen Dowager Zhao frowned a few times. Although she was angry, as the queen dowager, how could she continue to pester a daughter-in-law who had already fainted?

"Alas! I am really old..." Queen Mother Zhao raised her head and sighed: "Emperor, Queen, you are now fully grown. There are some things that an old woman like me cannot interfere with..."

"You guys can handle this matter. I won't be responsible for it!" Queen Mother Zhao was obviously angry. After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly and left.

Concubine Zhao looked at Queen Mother Zhao, whose chest was heaving with anger, and then thought about the eldest prince who had been targeted by the emperor. She really wanted to cut Shen Zhiyao into pieces...

When An and Qiuyue hurriedly carried Shen Zhiyao into Cuiweixuan, Imperial Doctor Qiu arrived, and the Emperor and Empress followed in.

Doctor Qiu ran out of breath, thinking, what a hard life he has. After taking care of the Queen, he has to take care of Jin Shuyi...

Thinking of this, Doctor Qiu placed three fingers of his right hand on Shen Zhiyao's wrist to take her pulse. After a while, his eyebrows twitched three times.

This made the emperor and the empress extremely anxious.

After confirming it several times, Doctor Qiu's face suddenly changed drastically. After he stopped, he knelt down in front of the Emperor and Empress with a plop.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, Jin Shuyi is fine. She was just two months pregnant, and she fainted due to overwork, fear and anger..."

"Are you sure?" Bo Muxi was overjoyed when he heard that.

"Your humble servant dares to guarantee it with his own life." Empress Dowager Qiu said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. We are going to have another child in our palace!" the Queen said happily.

Their children were born only two months apart, so no matter what gender they are, they can grow up together and won’t be alone!
