The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

The rumors in Kyoto that the Crown Prince's concubine was a concubine's daughter became more and more intense, and the one in the palace could no longer sit still.

"Miss, the palace has issued an imperial decree inviting you to come in." Yunzhu respectfully presented the imperial decree to Shen Tangan, who reached out and took it to look at it.

I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would invite her into the palace. No wonder, after all, she is now the future Princess Chen, and it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to want to meet her first.

"Miss, I heard that the second lady also received an imperial decree, but it was from the Queen." When Yunzhu came back, she saw that the maid of Lihua Garden had also received the decree.

"Really?" Shen Tangan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that Shen Qingwan will encounter difficulties when she enters the palace this time!"

The Queen values ​​the Crown Prince the most. She has always looked down on Shen Qingwan's family background, and now there are rumors of a concubine's daughter. So many days have passed, and it has not yet been settled. I am afraid she can no longer sit still.

Shen Qingwan is afraid that she is going to suffer.

After dressing up, Shen Tangan came to the gate of the mansion and happened to meet Shen Qingwan, who looked like she was about to enter the palace.

"Sister seems to be in a good mood." Shen Qingwan saw her and immediately made sarcastic remarks.

After these few days, she has calmed down a lot. They are just some rumors. What can they do to her?

She is the prince's concubine chosen by His Majesty, but don't think that some rumors can easily defeat her!

She knew better than anyone that the news must have been released by Shen Tang, otherwise who would want to kill her? She couldn't think of a second person!

Shen Tangan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Sister, what you said is really incomprehensible. I am just going to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. How can I be in a good mood? Sister, you must be careful and cautious when you go to the palace to meet the Queen this time."

Shen Qingwan snorted coldly, her eyes full of resentment: "Hmph, stop pretending to be kind and righteous. If you hadn't been secretly doing bad things behind the scenes, how could there be such rumors? Do you think I would easily believe that this has nothing to do with you?"

Shen Tangan's lips curled slightly, his tone became a little colder, and he looked directly at Shen Qingwan and said.

"Sister, please don't make false accusations without any evidence. If the news gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

"False accusation?" Shen Qingwan was furious. She took a step forward, eyes wide open, staring at Shen Tangan. "Who else in this mansion would go to such great lengths to target me except you? Are you jealous that I became the prince's concubine?"

Shen Tangan did not flinch, meeting her angry gaze with a faint smile on his face, and said calmly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Sister, you should reflect on your past actions first, and don't judge others by your own standards. Now I can only say that you deserve it."

Shen Qingwan gritted her teeth in anger, her whole body trembling: "You! I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

Shen Tangan flicked her sleeves and said calmly, "Sister, just come over. I will accompany you to the end. But at this moment, you and I should go to the palace first. Don't delay the time and cause the nobles in the palace to blame you."

After saying that, Shen Tangan no longer paid attention to Shen Qingwan, turned around and elegantly boarded the carriage. Shen Qingwan's face was livid, her chest heaving violently, and she also angrily boarded her own carriage and rushed towards the palace.

Shen Qingwan stepped into the Queen's palace and saw the Queen sitting upright on the phoenix chair, her face as gloomy as water and her eyes full of coldness.

"Kneel down!" the queen shouted angrily, and the voice seemed to shatter anyone's soul.

Shen Qingwan didn't dare to hesitate at all. Her legs went soft and she fell to her knees with a thud. Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably and her heart was filled with fear.

"You shameless thing, the rumors about the concubine are now all over the city, making the prince lose face! You have trampled on the dignity of the royal family!" The queen's sharp voice pierced Shen Qingwan like a sword, "Do you know your crime?"

Shen Qingwan kowtowed quickly, her voice filled with tears, as she explained in a panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am truly wronged. I have always been conscientious in my duties and have never overstepped the line."

"Unfair?" The queen sneered, and the laughter made people's hair stand on end. "This rumor is so convincing, could it be fabricated out of thin air? If it weren't for Ziwuxu, how could there be gossip? Did someone catch you?"

At this time, the nanny beside the queen stepped forward, slapped Shen Qingwan hard, and scolded her harshly: "How dare you quibble in front of the queen! You don't know how to live or die!"

Shen Qingwan's cheeks instantly became red and swollen, and the burning pain made her tears burst out, but she didn't dare to say a word, and could only continue to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am really innocent, please see clearly."

The Queen was unmoved, her eyes became more fierce, and she snorted coldly, "Clear? I think you are just a flatterer! You are now going to the side hall of my palace to reflect on your mistakes. Copy the female virtue scroll without my permission, and you are not allowed to step out of the door! Reflect on your sins. If you spread any unbearable words again, I will not let you off easily!"

When Shen Qingwan heard the Queen's words, her heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar. She was filled with fear, but she could only nod and agree.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and I am afraid I cannot copy the books."

Her face turned pale. She didn't dare to resist the queen, but she also didn't dare to abuse her body. After all, she was pregnant.

"You dare to disobey my order, do you think I can't control you?"

The Queen was furious, and the finger she was pointing at her was shaking.

Shen Qingwan lowered her head and didn't dare to answer. How could she tell them that she was pregnant?

At this stalemate, Shen Qingwan made up her mind, kowtowed fiercely, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Queen, please calm down. It is not that I intend to disobey your order. It is just that I am pregnant now and my body is not convenient. I really cannot copy the female virtue volume!"

Upon hearing this, the queen was shocked, her eyes widened, and she was speechless for a long time. Then, she shouted angrily: "You, an ignorant thing, are pregnant! You and the prince haven't even married yet, but you are having an affair, and... you are hiding it, what is your intention?"

She almost fainted from anger. If this matter got out, would she still have dignity?

The prince actually dared to do such a thing. Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will find out and depose him from his position as crown prince in a fit of rage?

After all, it was this woman who seduced the prince. The prince is not such a person without any sense of propriety!

Shen Qingwan burst into tears: "My queen, the prince knows about this matter, and I didn't mean to hide it! I haven't had time to report it yet, so I didn't mean to hide it."

The Queen's eyes widened in anger, and she said sternly, "Well, you vixen, you dare to associate yourself with the Crown Prince! I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If there is even a trace of falsehood, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

Shen Qingwan collapsed to the ground in fear and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I know everything I said is true, and I dare not lie in the slightest."
