The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

I took the tea brought by the palace maid, and the teacup was warm to my touch.

She sneered in her heart, thinking that she was thinking too much. The Queen was so stupid as to use such an obvious method to torture her.

There was a futon on the floor in front of the bed, so she bent her knees and knelt down.

His face turned pale immediately, and he lost hold of the teacup in his hand, which fell to the ground with a bang and broke into several pieces.

"Imperial Concubine?!"

Dong Yue and Dong Ye were so frightened that they almost had a cardiac arrest, and they quickly helped her up. Please don't let anything happen to the imperial concubine.

Not to mention that His Highness will not forgive them, they themselves have no face to live in this world.

Just now, Gu Yunyan's knees and half of her calves were kneeling on the mat and were pricked very painfully.

at this time.

Her legs were still hurting and she couldn't stand on her own. She could only stand with the support of Dongyue and Dongye.

Nanny Chun ignored her pale face and frowned.

"Princess, what are you doing? Are you so unwilling to offer tea to the Empress and acknowledge her as your mother?"

"If you don't want to serve tea, just say so. Can the Queen force you?"

"Everyone knows that the Queen loves the Third Prince. Even for the sake of the Third Prince, the Queen will not do anything to you."

The queen's gaze fell on the broken teacup, her eyes full of disappointment.

But he said, "Alright, stop talking. Yunyan just lost her manners because she didn't have a mother to teach her since she was a child. You stay here today and I will teach you myself."

"I'll have someone tell Yuan'er to wait until you learn the rules before leaving the palace and returning home."

"Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't." Gu Yunyan snorted in her heart, pretending to be quite serious, "There was something in the futon, and it pricked my daughter-in-law's leg."

"Please ask the maid to bring a new cushion. My daughter-in-law will not make any mistakes this time."

Nanny Chun was surprised and jumped out again: "Princess, why are you lying so much?"

"The mat was prepared by the Majesty early in the morning. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that the Majesty is an unkind mother? Are you trying to harm you on purpose? Who would harm someone so obviously?"

There was almost 'Do you take me for a fool' written in her eyes?

Gu Yunyan glanced at her and ordered, "Dongyue, go and take apart the futon and show it to mother so she can tell whether it's real or fake."

Dongyue stepped forward to get the futon, but Nanny Chun and the Queen were not panicked at all.

She understood that the master and servant must have made arrangements long ago and were not afraid of her bringing up the issue of the futon.

"Princess, the futon is filled with embroidery needles!"

Dongyue's eyes were slightly red, and her hands holding the futon were shaking, and the hundreds of embroidery needles on it were shining silver.

How painful it must be to kneel down!

The imperial concubine's body is delicate, and a slight scratch on a normal day would leave a red mark that would take a long time to disappear. Now so many embroidery needles are piercing her.

She didn't even dare to imagine how swollen the imperial concubine's knees and calves would be.

Looking at those embroidery needles, the queen's expression immediately changed, and she said sternly: "Madam Chun, how did you manage the affairs while I was in a coma?

"We don't know who sneaked into the palace with ulterior motives. Investigate! Find the person and beat him to death!"

"I wonder who will dare to do bad things to the Third Imperial Concubine in the future!"

"My Lady, I will go check right away. I will find the man and beat him to death to give the Imperial Concubine an explanation."

The master and servant worked together very well.

Less than a moment after Nanny Chun left, screams of eunuchs and palace maids being beaten with sticks were heard outside.

The culprit was brought before Gu Yunyan and the Queen.

"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, it was this second-class maid who secretly did something bad and bribed a few young eunuchs and maids to switch the futon."

The queen got up from the bed with the help of Nanny Chun.

He came and sat on the Arhat couch. Although his face still looked a little sick, his whole body exuded the majesty that had been cultivated from holding a high position for many years.

"Tell me, who instructed you to put an embroidery needle in the futon to harm the imperial concubine?"

"No one ordered me to do this!" The maid stiffened her neck and looked at Gu Yunyan hatefully, "Gu Yunyan, you can kill such a good person like Sister Xiaoguo."

"You are so cruel and cruel, you take human life lightly. I am avenging Sister Xiaoguo!"

"I'm not afraid of being caught by you now. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. A vicious person like you will come down to accompany me and Sister Xiaoguo sooner or later!"

Xiaoguo? I haven't heard this name for a long time.

Gu Yunyan frowned: "Xiao Guo was a traitor. She almost poisoned the meal I prepared for His Highness and killed him. She deserves it."

This was Su Yuan's statement to the outside world. He had not yet fallen out with the Queen.

She can still use it to shut other people up.

"Are you her accomplice in the palace?" She suddenly asked nervously, "Mother, please interrogate this palace maid carefully and find out who is behind the murder of Your Highness and avenge Your Highness."

"I was wondering why you didn't bring Xiaoguo with you when you came to the palace this time." The Queen said, "I see."

"Madame Chun, slap my face."

"If she refuses to reveal the person behind the scenes, let her kneel on the mat and get up whenever she tells you. If she doesn't, she will kneel until she dies."

Her tone was so casual that it made people feel cold in their hearts.

The palace maid collapsed on the ground in disbelief, defending Xiaoguo while also looking for excuses for what she had done.

"Impossible! Sister Xiaoguo is so kind and loyal."

"How could someone poison the Third Prince? This is not true. I don't believe it. You are lying!"

Gu Yunyan glanced at her and said, "Your Highness is a prince, of noble status, is there any need for you to be irritated with a palace maid?"

The palace maid was completely wilted, her face pale and she had nothing to say.

Dong Ye stepped forward silently and raised her hand to slap him. She had learned martial arts and was much stronger than an average woman, even stronger than some adult men.

“Pah, pah, pah——!!”

After a few slaps, the maid's face swelled up like a bun. She had a sweet and fishy taste in her throat, blood spurted out of her mouth, and two large teeth were ejected.

The burning pain on her face brought the maid back to her senses.

She was filled with fear and opened her mouth to scream, "Stop, stop hitting me! Um, I'll tell you!"

Unfortunately, Dong Ye was now intent on venting his anger for his imperial concubine, and the slaps did not stop, but continued to fall down quickly, making a loud slapping sound.

The palace maid broke down and cried, her tears streaming down her face, and she looked dirty.

There was a flash of disgust in Dongye's eyes, and he finally mercifully withdrew his hand and stopped slapping her.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, I'm telling you, it was Nanny Lai from Concubine Rou's palace who ordered me to do this." How could the palace maid still have the heart to face death fearlessly?

She has now become the person who hates Xiaoguo the most.

Snapped!

"Madame Chun, please ask Concubine Rou to come over and confront her." The Queen slammed her palm on the table, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the maid again, "If you dare to lie, I will never let you off easily!"

"Your Majesty, well, I really didn't lie, it was really Nanny Lai who came up with the idea!"

Now she just wants to die quickly.

Gu Yunyan stood for a long time, and her legs hurt even more. She couldn't help but hiss in pain.

The queen seemed to have just remembered that her leg was injured.

With a worried look on his face, he said, "Yunyan, you have an injury on your leg. Sit down quickly. I'll ask the imperial physician to take a good look at you and prescribe some ointment for you to apply."

"Don't worry, the imperial physician is very skilled and will never leave you with a scar."

Gu Yunyan sat down obediently, and the Queen turned to ask Nanny Chun: "Have you sent someone to call the imperial physician? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"My lady, I have asked someone to call for help."

Nanny Chun looked embarrassed, "But the Imperial Hospital is a bit far from the harem, and the imperial physician won't arrive that quickly."

Looking at this scene, she just wanted to laugh.

Do you really think that she has never been a queen and doesn't know the rules of the palace?

As long as you are caring enough, you can apply some spare ointment on her first, which can relieve the pain immediately.

Even if you don't give her the ointment, you can just send a sedan chair to fetch the imperial physician.

Now that I'm doing this, do you think you can appease her by performing this for her?

She is not a little girl like her original self who would be fooled by the superficial appearance.

The imperial physician has not arrived yet.

Concubine Rou arrived first. Before she entered the hall, her soaring voice was heard.

"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

"Why did you have to rush to find me? You just recovered from a serious illness and instead of taking a good rest, you immediately beat so many palace maids and eunuchs to death. Be careful not to get sick from exhaustion."

"Your Majesty is about to hand over the power of the palace to me, your concubine."
