The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Xiao Chengxu's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were as cold as ice. He stared closely at the empress dowager in front of him who was pretending to be crazy and was no different from a lunatic, with deep contempt in his eyes.

Xie Yaoqing rubbed his ears gently and slowly stood up.

She came to deliver the so-called "good" news to the empress dowager, and now her purpose has been achieved. From now on, the empress dowager will stay alone in this Cining Palace, without any sustenance or hope. She can only worry about the fate of her family all day long, and be on edge all the time, fearing that the sharp blade hanging over her neck will suddenly fall at any time.

Not only that, she also learned a secret unexpectedly, which meant that the trip was well worthwhile.

However, when the empress dowager's gaze met Xie Yaoqing's, her eyes trembled slightly and her look flickered.

Then, the Queen Mother suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with endless desolation and irony.

"Xie, do you think you have won? Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless. Haven't you always wanted to conceive a dragon descendant? Do you want to know why you have never been able to fulfill your wish? It's because you killed the child given to you by God with your own hands. You are just repaying one thing with another. You have a husband, but you lost your own flesh and blood. All of this is your own fault."

When Xie Yaoqing heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Her mind instantly went blank. Countless thoughts flooded into her mind, making it a tangled mess that she couldn't sort out.

What does it mean to have lost?

The so-called loss is that you must first gain something before you lose it. However, she had no memory of ever being pregnant. Since she had never gained anything, how could she lose anything?

Not to mention one life for another, what is going on?

Who was the person she saved? Could it be Xiao Chengxu? If so, whose life would be used to save his life? Could it be... the life of the child in her belly?

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but cover her forehead. She suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if thousands of tiny needles were constantly pricking her head. The dense pain made it difficult for her to concentrate and think calmly about what the Queen Mother had just said.

At this moment, Xie Yaoqing felt her heart was in turmoil, and the Queen Mother's words made her feel dizzy. The answers to all these mysteries seemed to be hidden in the distant and vague past, waiting for her to uncover them.

Xiao Chengxu's expression suddenly turned gloomy, his eyes instantly filled with tension, and he lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense."

Then, no one knew what he had given the Queen Mother, but it caused her to lose the ability to speak in an instant. The Queen Mother covered her throat, her eyes wide open in horror, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to make a sound again, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not utter a single word except for the burning pain in her throat as if it was cut by a knife.

It was difficult for anyone to accept the fact that a normal person suddenly became mute. The Queen Mother rushed towards Xiao Chengxu angrily, trying to beat him to vent her anger.

Xiao Chengxu had already picked up the unconscious Xie Yaoqing and quickly turned away. In a flash, their figures disappeared from the Queen Mother's sight without a trace.

The Queen Mother still chased after him unwillingly, but was stopped outside the palace gate.

When she was still able to speak, even if she shouted loudly, she couldn't make the guards retreat a single step, let alone give way obediently. However, now she couldn't even speak, and even if she wanted to rely on her status as the queen mother to bluff, she was powerless.

On the contrary, when the guards saw the Queen Mother in such a dishevel, disheveled hair and a crazy look, the same thought came to their minds at the same time.

Judging from the situation, the Queen Mother is really seriously ill. No wonder she needs to rest and recuperate.

On the other side, as soon as Xiao Chengxu left the Cining Palace, he said to Feng An: "Go and get the imperial physician quickly!"

Then, he used his Qinggong skills to escort the person back to Kunning Palace as quickly as possible.

Nanny Fang watched her master go out safely, but come back in a coma. She immediately took out her resentment on Xiao Chengxu, thinking that it must be because of him that her master became like this.

"Your Majesty, what did you do to the Empress? Please forgive me for my presumptuous words. If you are tired of the Empress, you can just send her out of the palace. Why torture her like this?" Nanny Fang asked angrily.

There seemed to be a fire burning in Nanny Fang's slightly cloudy eyes. The fire was so intense that it directly hurt Xiao Chengxu's heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Can he really say that everything has nothing to do with him? The answer is no.

After a long silence, Xiao Chengxu slowly said, "She already knew. It was the one from the Cining Palace who let it slip."

However, the Queen Mother did not let the secret slip accidentally, but did it on purpose. The people around Xie Yaoqing took great pains to conceal the truth, but the Queen Mother insisted on telling everything. Of course, it was not because she was kind-hearted, but because she had a broken jar mentality - since she was not living well, then others could not expect peace either.

If they could successfully sow discord between Xie Yaoqing and Xiao Chengxu, causing them to make a huge fuss and have no peace, the Queen Mother would probably laugh out loud in her dreams.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Fang was stunned for a moment, then turned around, lifted the bead curtain and went into the inner room.

The imperial physician had not arrived yet, but Rendong was there and she had already taken Xie Yaoqing's pulse.

"How is the queen now?" asked Nanny Fang with a worried look on her face.

"Your Majesty has been greatly stimulated, causing her to become restless and faint. She just needs to take two doses of tranquilizers to recuperate." Honeysuckle said.

There was no major problem with Xie Yaoqing's body, it was just that the stimulation was too intense and he was unable to bear it for a while, which led to his coma.

Nanny Fang sighed softly, expressing her helplessness.

Feng An rushed to the Imperial Hospital in a panic, and hurriedly took the two doctors away. When the two doctors arrived at Kunning Palace out of breath, they also examined Xie Yaoqing and came to the same conclusion as Ren Dong.

At this point, Xiao Chengxu's worries were slightly alleviated by half, but the other half was still hanging in the air, making it difficult for him to feel at ease.

In less than half an hour, Xie Yaoqing woke up by herself. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Nanny Fang standing in front of her. She suddenly became excited and held her hand tightly, asking anxiously, "Nanny, did I lose a child five years ago?"

Nanny Fang shook her head gently, with a gentle and kind smile on her face. She patted Xie Yaoqing's hand gently, as if comforting a child, and said softly: "Your Highness, you remembered it wrongly. How could you say such nonsense? Did your Highness have a nightmare? It's okay. Let Rendong come and take a look at you later."

However, Xie Yaoqing was not comforted. She pushed Nanny Fang away, her expression became extremely sad, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "No, I am not talking nonsense! You are all liars, all of you are deceiving me! If my child was still alive, he should be old enough to start reading now!"

Her eyes were wet, tears rolled down her cheeks, and her eyes were full of pain and despair.

"It was my negligence. I used his life to exchange for someone else's life... It's all my fault."

Xie Yaoqing's voice was trembling, full of self-blame and regret.
