The emperor's face was as dark as ink, his eyes were glaring at the queen like fire, his hands were clenched into fists with veins bulging, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

He slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you, Queen, be so presumptuous!"

Then, his face became terribly gloomy, and he gave orders to the guards beside him without hesitation:

"Imprison the queen in Kunning Palace! Without my order, she is not allowed to take a single step out of the palace!"

His voice was cold and decisive, as if carrying endless anger and disappointment.

The queen looked at the emperor in horror. She had never seen the emperor so angry. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

She tried to explain, but the emperor didn't give her a chance and turned away.

The queen was soon brought to the door of her bedroom by the guards. Her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were full of fear and confusion.

She tried to resist, but faced with the powerful strength of the guards, she could only accept this reality helplessly.

As the door of the bedroom slowly closed, the queen was completely placed under house arrest in the palace, isolated from the outside world.

There was a deathly silence in the palace; not a single sound broke the depressing atmosphere.

Only the queen sat alone quietly in front of the window, her figure looking lonely and helpless.

Tears flowed down her beautiful face like a flood, as if they could not be stopped.

At this time, the emperor was discussing with his ministers in the court how to deal with the queen.

Inside the palace, the flickering candlelight illuminated the emperor's solemn face and the worried eyes of his ministers.

They sat together and discussed this thorny issue in low voices.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a frown on his face, listening to the opinions of his ministers without saying a word.

He knew that this matter was related to the stability of the country and the reputation of the royal family. If it was not handled properly, it might cause even greater turmoil.

The ministers spoke one after another. Some advocated severe punishment for the queen to uphold the law; others believed that she should be dealt with leniently to avoid causing social unrest.

Everyone has their own stance and opinion, but no one can give a perfect solution.

The entire court was in a tense atmosphere as people were waiting for the emperor's decision.

The emperor felt tremendous pressure; he needed to weigh the pros and cons and make a wise decision.

Kunning Palace.

The queen was extremely anxious but helpless. She knew that she was in a passive position and had to think calmly to find a way out.

After being under house arrest, the queen was trapped in this small palace every day, unable to go out or contact the outside world.

She felt extremely lonely and helpless, but at the same time, she began to think about everything that had happened recently.

She tried hard to recall every detail, trying to find the mastermind behind it.

The queen thought back to the previous banquets, which were the easiest way for her to meet important people in the court.

She remembered that at the last banquet, someone said some strange words to her in a mysterious way. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to these words, but just felt a little puzzled.

However, now thinking back on that person's expression and tone, she began to wonder if there was some deeper meaning hidden in those words.

Perhaps, those seemingly meaningless words are actually a hint or a warning?

Or were they part of a larger mystery? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more curious she became.

She carefully recalled the details of the banquet, trying to find more clues from her memory to solve the mystery.

There were also a series of events in the palace, including Chu Tiancheng's disappearance and his own confinement.

These events seem unrelated, but the Queen is convinced that there must be some connection between them.

She began to wonder whether there was some force behind all this, attempting to overthrow the existing regime or seek greater benefits.

The queen also thought about her family and confidants. Were they also involved in this conspiracy?

She decided to secretly investigate their whereabouts and activities to determine whether they were loyal to her.

In addition, she also noticed some abnormal phenomena in the palace. For example, the behavior of some palace maids and eunuchs became unusually suspicious, and they seemed to be conveying some information.

There were also some unusual visitors who appeared in the palace, and their identities and purposes also made the queen suspicious.

As time went by, the Queen gradually pieced together the outline of the whole incident.

Although she didn't have solid evidence yet, she already had some clues and suspects.

She is determined to continue her investigation, find out the truth, and protect her own safety.

The queen carefully examined every detail, not missing any clues. Sometimes she frowned in deep thought, and sometimes she suddenly realized something.

Finally, I found some clues that I had not noticed before in the complicated incident. Although these clues seem insignificant, they are like key pieces in a puzzle, making the whole case gradually clear.

At the same time, the Queen knew that she could not solve the mystery alone.

Therefore, she decided to use the connections and power she had accumulated in the palace over the years.

She secretly summoned some loyal and reliable palace maids and eunuchs and gave them orders to secretly investigate the whereabouts and words and deeds of the relevant personnel.

In addition, she also contacted some ministers in the court, hoping to obtain more information and support from them.

She carefully looked for palace maids and eunuchs she could trust and secretly contacted them.

These people were carefully selected by her because she knew how rare and precious trust was in this palace.

They secretly discussed plans, exchanged information with each other, and collected all possible evidence to prove her innocence.

Every contact is like a silent battle, and one needs to be careful to avoid being discovered by others.

However, despite facing numerous difficulties and risks, her firm belief prevented her from backing down.

She firmly believed that as long as she persisted, one day she would be able to clear her name and wash away the charges that were unreasonably leveled against her.

After discussing with the palace maids and eunuchs, the queen returned to her bedroom and leaned back on the couch tiredly.

She knew the road ahead would be even more difficult, but she would never give up.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the door and the queen sat up alertly.

A dark figure flashed into the room, knelt on one knee, and handed over a secret letter. The queen unfolded the letter and her face changed drastically after reading it.

The contents of the letter shocked her. It turned out that the real mastermind behind the incident was the person closest to her.

The queen held the letter tightly, her eyes filled with anger and determination.

She secretly vowed to bring the traitor to justice and give herself justice.
