The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

The queen looked Ouyang Miaoling up and down and felt that she was very familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen her before.

"Have these medicines been checked by the imperial physician?" The queen glanced at the little maid kneeling on the ground.

"To answer the Empress, I have shown it to the imperial physician, who said it was safe to use, so I got the medicine and boiled it for the princess." The little maid tremblingly explained the whole story.

"Come here and drink it," said the queen, looking at the little maid.

Ouyang Miaoling, who was standing aside, couldn't bear to see the queen making things difficult for a little maid, so she snatched the medicine from the maid, brought it directly to her mouth, took a sip and swallowed it.

Then he looked at the queen and said, "You can give it to the princess now. If you don't let her drink it, she will get confused."

This time, the queen did not stop Ouyang Miaoling from feeding the medicine to the princess.

"It's not that I want to embarrass you on purpose. It's just that the princess is a delicate person. If something of unknown origin were to harm her health, who would be held responsible?"

"It was she who saved them just now, but now she is putting on airs and acting like a high and mighty queen." Ouyang Miaoling thought.

But she remained calm and said, "Empress, the princess has taken antipyretic medicine and her wounds have been treated. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." After she finished speaking, she did not even bow to the high-ranking queen. Her flamboyant personality angered the nanny beside the queen.

"Stop... You haven't even bowed before the Queen and you're leaving. Who gave you the courage to be so ignorant of the rules?" The nanny beside the Queen said angrily.

"The emperor has already allowed me not to perform the salute. Can the empress be higher than the emperor?" The nanny was really irritated by Ouyang Miaoling's contempt.

He walked quickly to Ouyang Miaoling and was about to raise his hand to hit her, but she grabbed it and threw it aside fiercely.

"The queen hasn't spoken yet. How can a maid like you be more powerful than the master? Who gave you the right to make decisions here?"

The nanny was thrown off balance by Ouyang Miaoling and almost fell down.

How could she be willing to be bullied by an outsider, so she knelt before the queen, fanning the flames and begging the queen to make the decision.

"Someone... arrest this woman who has no idea of ​​her own limitations and is committing treason." The queen was finally persuaded by her and decided to punish Ouyang Miaoling.

As soon as the queen finished speaking, four or five eunuchs came in and were ready to attack Ouyang Miaoling.

"Wait... Mother, it was this doctor who saved the child's life just now. Besides, she also said that she was invited by father. If you do anything to her, you will be going against father. If father blames you, none of us can afford it." Yue Yao advised.

The princess' words made the queen fall into deep thought. She knew that the princess was right. The emperor had never liked her very much. If this incident caused a rift between them again, it would be more trouble than gain.

But her dignity as a queen cannot be trampled on like this, she must regain some face.

The queen asked the young eunuch to leave, and then ordered the old nanny beside her: "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't forgive the living crime. Slap your mouth!"

"Yes." The nanny who was almost knocked down by Ouyang Miaoling received the order, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to hit Ouyang Miaoling in the face.

"Stop..." A shout from outside the door made the nanny stop what she was doing.

"I don't know how my benefactor offended the Queen, causing her to be so furious?" It was the Emperor, who, surrounded by the eunuchs, came to the princess's palace.

Nangong Mingxuan, who was following behind, quickly stepped forward, took Ouyang Miaoling's arm, and checked everywhere: "Ling'er, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"It's okay... They didn't do anything to me. You came when they were about to attack me. You came at the right time," Ouyang Miaoling said sarcastically.

"Queen?..." The emperor looked at the queen with a cold face, asking her to give him an explanation.

The queen had been so frightened by the emperor's arrival that her face turned as pale as paper and she was trembling all over. She knew that she had gotten into big trouble this time. Not only had she angered the emperor, but she had also made the emperor lose his trust and favor towards her.

She didn't dare to look up at the emperor, so she could only bow her head and admit her mistake: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me! I didn't know that she was the one who helped the emperor to resolve this crisis."

"You know you're wrong? What do you know you're wrong about? You clearly know that Ling'er is my benefactor, but you still want to bully her. What do you mean by this? Do you want to challenge my authority?" the emperor said angrily.

"I dare not. I was just impulsive. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!" The Queen cried in horror.

"Hmph! Do you think crying can solve the problem? I will not let you go easily! From today on, you are no longer the queen. You are demoted to a noble concubine. You must reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for three months and are not allowed to leave the palace!" the emperor announced sternly.

The queen was disheartened when she heard the verdict. She had never expected the emperor to be so heartless, but she could not refute it and could only accept it silently. She took one last look at the emperor and Ouyang Miaoling, then turned and left.

"Ling'er, you were frightened. I will definitely compensate you." The emperor said gently to Ouyang Miaoling.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. I just hope that something like this won't happen again in the future." Ouyang Miaoling said calmly.

"Don't worry, Ling'er. I have punished the Queen. No one will dare to bully you again." The Emperor comforted.

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty. But since the Queen has already realized her mistake, I think we should just forget about punishing her." Ouyang Miaoling said lightly.

"Okay, as long as Ling'er speaks, I will definitely carry out your wishes." After the emperor said this, he asked the eunuch beside him to convey his order to revoke the punishment on the queen.

Nangong Mingxuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the emperor's diligence.

"Sorry... since the crisis here has been resolved, we should leave." As he said this, he was about to pull Ouyang Miaoling's hand and leave.

Before he could even take his first step to leave, he was bumped into by Yun Jiusi, who had just dealt with the court officials and was on his way to see his sister.

"Uncle Nangong, Aunt Ling...what are you doing? I haven't even thanked you yet, and you're leaving?"

Faced with Yun Jiusi's attempt to keep him, Nangong Mingxuan let go of the hand that was about to hold Ouyang Miaoling away.

"No...no, I'm not leaving, it's just that the air here is too suffocating, so your aunt Ling and I want to go for a walk outside." Nangong Mingxuan made up an excuse to get away with it.

"That's good... Your Highness thought that we didn't take good care of Uncle Nangong and made him angry and leave?"

"No... we didn't neglect you, we just wanted to get some fresh air."

"Okay... Uncle Nangong, you and Aunt Ling can go for a walk in the garden first. I will go to see my sister. My father will arrange a thank-you banquet later, and you two must attend."

"Okay... okay." After saying that, he awkwardly pulled Ouyang Miaoling out to get some fresh air.
