The sharp-eyed Concubine Li spotted Di Jingyan's figure and flew over like a colorful butterfly.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Di Jingyan narrowed his eyes dangerously and finally fixed his gaze on Luo Xueqing.

[I can’t see you, I can’t see you, I can’t see me…]

Luo Xueqing stepped back while muttering to herself.

"Luo Cairen!"

[What are you shouting for! Calling for the soul! ]

Luo Xueqing was filled with anger, but she looked obedient and docile, "I'm here!"

"Come here." Di Jingyan raised his eyebrows with interest and waved at her.

The other concubines all looked at her face at the same time.

Envious, jealous, puzzled, suspicious...

Luo Xueqing cursed in her heart, then walked closely to Di Jingyan's side.

"I already know what happened in Yikun Palace today."

In front of the other concubines, Di Jingyan took the initiative to hold Luo Xueqing's hand, and then pointed at Zhenpin who was kneeling in the middle, and said in a cold tone without a trace of warmth, "Zhenpin, be beaten to death."

These four simple words have already determined Zhenpin's fate.

Luo Xueqing shivered uncontrollably.

【terrible. 】

Empress Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said in an anxious tone, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen is already pregnant. Regardless of whether the child in her belly is a dragon descendant, Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year, and the foundation of the court is unstable. If you rashly beat Concubine Zhen to death, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the court officials!

I beg Your Majesty to think twice before acting!"

[It seems that the fake queen is determined to keep the baby in Zhenpin's belly. ]

[Alas, I don’t know what kind of magic potion Prince Gong gave to the fake queen. ]

Luo Xueqing blinked thoughtfully and watched the situation quietly.

Di Jingyan lowered his eyes slightly, and the slightly drooping corners of his lips revealed his dissatisfaction at the moment.

"According to the Queen's opinion, Concubine Zhen, I cannot deal with you? Hmm?"

Di Jingyan's voice was cold.

It's so cold that it makes people shiver.

Queen Shen and all the concubines present knelt down.

Of course, except Luo Xueqing.

Di Jingyan grabbed her arm and she couldn't move.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Queen Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered her eyes slightly and said in a calm tone, "As the Queen of the Central Palace, it is my duty to advise and remonstrate."

"The Empress?" Di Jingyan suddenly smiled, but that smile made people feel terrified. "The Empress is indeed dedicated and responsible!"

"I dare not take credit for it, but I thought that Zhenpin was pregnant and should not be beaten to death directly. Otherwise, wouldn't Your Majesty be accused of being cruel and murderous?"

[The fake queen is quite arrogant! ]

[Is she threatening Di Jingyan? ]

[The Shen family is very powerful, and the court is now ruled by Prime Minister Shen alone...]

[Isn't it that Emperor Di Jingyan is not as glorious as he seems? 】

"What does Luo Cairen think?"

While Luo Xueqing was still daydreaming, Di Jingyan suddenly asked her, "Princess Zhen committed adultery in the palace. According to palace rules, she should be caned to death, right?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, your Majesty is right."

Luo Xueqing nodded subconsciously.

"Pass on my order, drag Concubine Zhen away and beat her to death."

“No!” Concubine Zhen widened her eyes in fear and knocked her head loudly. “Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!”

"The Queen! The Queen!"

"Please plead for me again!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I don't want to die!"

Soon, Concubine Zhen had her mouth gagged and was dragged away.

Empress Shen looked at Di Jingyan deeply, "Your Majesty..."

"Queen, don't worry about my reputation," Di Jingyan interrupted her, "Didn't Concubine Luo say that just now? Concubine Zhen is committing adultery in the palace. According to palace rules, she should be beaten to death. If anyone in the court is dissatisfied, they can impeach Concubine Luo."

"what?"

Luo Cairen was dumbfounded.

Is she the scapegoat?

What does this have to do with her???

"Take this infamy and I will reward you." Di Jingyan suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Really?" Luo Xueqing looked at him suspiciously, "I want to improve my status?"

"can."

Seeing how close Di Jingyan and Luo Xueqing were, Concubine Li was almost going crazy with jealousy!

She has been in the palace for almost half a year, and she has never even touched a finger of His Majesty!

The angry Concubine Li glared at Luo Xueqing viciously.

However, Luo Xueqing was busy negotiating terms with Di Jingyan and didn't notice her murderous look at all.

"Ahem, Queen, I have a humble opinion. If anyone is upset about Concubine Zhen, they can come and impeach me." Luo Xueqing stepped forward and smiled slightly, "In order to protect your majesty's reputation, I am willing to sacrifice myself."

Queen Shen narrowed her eyes in displeasure, and looked at Luo Xueqing with eyes as cold as ice.

[The fake queen's eyes are a bit scary! ]

[She seems to want to snap me? ]

"Actually, I..." Luo Xueqing was about to reveal the true identity of the queen, but someone got there first.

Concubine Xi took a step forward and saluted towards Emperor Jingyan, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"What's the matter?"

"The queen is not really a queen."

Concubine Xi's words were like a thunderbolt, which made the already turbulent harem even more chaotic.

Then, Concubine Xi laid out the evidence one by one.

The real queen, Shen Chuyun, has been taken to the palace by Concubine Xi and is now waiting outside the Yikun Palace.

"You mean, the current Empress is not Shen Chuyun, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, but Shen Xinyao, the legitimate second daughter of the Shen family?"

Di Jingyan, who was sitting on the Phoenix Chair with a big sword and a golden horse, gently stroked the ring on his thumb and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes."

Concubine Xi nodded firmly.

"Queen, do you have anything to say?"

Even though the situation had developed to this point, Queen Shen's face remained calm.

[This psychological quality is awesome! ]

[As expected of a woman who can become the queen! 】

"Your Highness, I have nothing to say."

Shen Xinyao replied in a calm tone.

silence.

You can hear the needle drop.

No one expected that so many things would happen during today's greeting ceremony.

Concubine Li has a unique hobby, Concubine Zhen is corrupting the palace, and what's more terrifying is that even the queen is a fake!

This plot is a bit too exciting.

[Oh, I didn't eat enough for breakfast. I'm actually a little hungry now. ]

Luo Xueqing's thoughts suddenly came out at this moment.

[I heard that the Imperial Kitchen bought fresh fish today~]

[Spicy and sour fish and grilled fish, both seem good! How about spending some money and asking the imperial kitchen to make two flavors? ]

"Luo Cairen."

Di Jingyan suddenly shouted.

"Ah? Your Majesty, do you have something to ask for?"

"What do you think of the evidence provided by Concubine Xi?"

[Is there something wrong with his brain? ]

[The evidence is so obvious, the fake queen is the fake queen! ]

[What is fake cannot be real, and what is real cannot be fake! ]

"Sister Concubine Xi is a fair and strict person, and she acts very rigorously. I feel that the evidence she provides is definitely not groundless." Luo Xueqing thought for a while and said seriously.

"In that case..." Emperor Jingyan frowned slightly and ordered in a deep voice, "The matter of the Queen is of great importance. I think it should be handed over to the three courts for trial."
