“How dare you!” Nian Susu struggled a few times, but to no avail. Her back was bent down, but she still raised her head and glared at the queen. She glanced at the two guards on both sides and shouted, “I am the future crown princess of the Eastern Palace! You dare to do this to me? Aren’t you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold you accountable!”

I don't know whether these words were spoken to the guards or to the queen.

"Besides, we have not yet found out how Nian Qiaoyue's child disappeared. Who drugged her, when did she do it, and what drug did she drug? You detained me privately. This is using public power for personal gain! You are abusing your power!"

Nian Susu's eyes were red and he was very emotional.

The two guards were following orders, but they were also wary of the one in the East Palace. The person under their command was the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, the Crown Princess would be the Queen. If they offended the future Queen, they would probably not want to live.

They looked hesitant and fearful, and looked to the queen for instructions.

The queen remained majestic as ever, looking down at Nian Susu from above, and said in a deep voice, "Press it down."

"Yes!" The guards dared not disobey the order and took the risk of offending others to take Nian Susu to the Heavenly Prison.

Nian Susu struggled violently in Zhongcui Palace, but after walking out of that door, she seemed to have accepted her fate and cooperated with several guards who were responsible for escorting her, and walked towards the Sky Prison with heavy steps.

Seeing that she had no intention of escaping, the guards loosened their hold and let her walk on her own. Several people surrounded her to prevent her from having any other thoughts.

As soon as Nian Susu was taken away, Zhou Fuhai brought back the midwife and doctor who delivered Nian Qiaoyue.

The two men had never seen such a big scene before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They knelt down tremblingly in front of the queen, not daring to raise their heads.

Doctor Yang was just a doctor in a small clinic in Shengjing. He usually just prescribed medicine and took pulses. The worst scene he had seen was watching people die in front of him without being able to do anything.

Now that he was inexplicably captured and brought to this imperial city, he felt like he had become the one who was about to die but could not be saved.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and began to recall the first half of his life.

Not to mention the midwife. As a woman, she was despised and looked down upon for doing this job. She was not even allowed to sit at the table for meals, let alone come to such a magnificent palace.

She was afraid but curious, and couldn't help but look up, then lowered her head like a frightened bird and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

The queen only glanced at them, and couldn't hide the disgust and disgust in her eyes, "Who are they?"

Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and whispered a few words in the queen's ear. The queen's expression changed immediately, and even her gaze towards the people below became deep.

The queen flicked her sleeves, turned her back, and asked in a low voice, "Does anyone else know about this?"

Zhou Fuhai did not dare to hide anything, "Besides the two of them, only the maids serving in the room today knew about this."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "When Nian Qiaoyue woke up, she cried bitterly and accused Nian Susu of giving her an abortion drug to cause her miscarriage. She looked as if she didn't know that she was carrying a stillborn baby. Even without the drug, the baby would not have been saved."

Zhou Fuhai raised his eyes to observe the queen's expression.

The queen seemed to be thinking about something, stroking her armor, with a hint of gloom in her eyes. "I don't think so."

Nian Qiaoyue's every word and action in the past three months was under her surveillance. Contrary to her usual behavior, Nian Qiaoyue did not bother Nian Susu again, but wanted to restore the sisterhood with her. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. The queen did not understand what Nian Qiaoyue was up to until this moment.

Zhou Fuhai had been with the queen for a long time and was a shrewd man, so he quickly understood the reason.

The two men turned around and looked down at the two people below.

Doctor Yang plucked up the courage to ask, "May I ask, Madam, why did you bring us two into the palace?"

He didn't know who was standing in front of him, he only knew that she was dressed luxuriously and lived in such a magnificent palace, so she must be of a very high status, so he couldn't offend her.

The queen sat back on her phoenix chair and asked, "Did you visit a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage last morning?"

Doctor Yang had a rough idea in his mind and did not dare to hide it, so he answered honestly: "Yes... yes, she is the girl from the Nian Mansion."

The midwife saw this and was afraid that she would be interrogated alone later, so she quickly interrupted: "The girl's fetus was stillborn. Which family would not say that it was unlucky to encounter such a thing?"

The queen hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Is it caused by miscarriage?"

This question was asked to the midwife. Doctor Yang was not a professional in this field, so naturally she didn't understand the ins and outs here.

The midwife smacked her lips and said, "No, her child died around the third or fourth month, so the fetus was still not formed at seven months old. There was a pool of blood and a small red bud the size of a peanut. It was so pitiful..."

The queen saw the scene and felt disgusted and disgusted.

At the same time, he was more certain of one thing - Nian Qiaoyue wanted to use the dead fetus to blackmail Nian Susu. It died in March or April, and Nian Qiaoyue couldn't have been unaware of that.

The queen narrowed her eyes and gave Zhou Fuhai a calm look.

She leaned back in the phoenix chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Zhou Fuhai took the man away and came back soon.

"My lady, everyone who knew about this matter has been dealt with."

"Hmm." The queen didn't even raise her eyelids.

Heaven Prison.

Nian Susu slept on a "bed" made of several layers of dry straw. Fortunately, it was April and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot. She could barely endure it for two days. Anyway, it was better than living in a dungeon where there was no sunlight and the space was so small that there was not enough space for her to turn around.

She turned over, facing the damp, mossy wall, and began to sort out clues.

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy and hurried footsteps outside. She immediately became alert and pricked up her ears to listen to the noise, but did not get up.

Although it is called the Sky Prison, it is actually just an ordinary prison used to imprison royal relatives and nobles who have made mistakes or committed crimes. When people of the lower class are imprisoned, they can only go to the dungeon where no human can stay and suffer physical and mental torture.

The structures here are connected. Once there is any movement, the sound will spread throughout the entire prison, like an echoing cave.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Nian Susu's five senses were amplified.

She could clearly hear someone stopping outside her cell door, and then there was silence for a moment, followed by the sound of the lock being unlocked and the scraping of iron chains against each other.

"Go down. No one is allowed to come in without my order." Qin Junyu's emotionless voice rang out, and Nian Susu's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She supported herself on the ground and stood up.

Qin Junyu lowered his head, pulled the bolt, pushed open the wooden gate, and looked up to see her looking at him aggrievedly.

His hair is messy, his face is dirty, especially his pair of wet fox eyes, which makes people feel distressed.
