The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

With every word Concubine Zhou said, Concubine Qi's face became uglier. In the end, she couldn't bear to listen any more and interrupted her anxiously.

"The Queen has always been kind and generous, and would never intentionally embarrass a concubine. She must have been discussing something with Xin'er and didn't pay attention to what was going on outside, so she came a little late. It was definitely not intentional."

"Come on, just because the Queen treats you well doesn't mean she'll treat everyone else well."

"I don't care. Anyway, I must tell the emperor about what happened today and let him make the decision for Concubine Yi."

"If you appreciate Concubine Yi's concern and care for you, don't stop me, otherwise, you will be my enemy."

After that, she sent someone to the imperial study to find Qi Yejing.

When Concubine Qi saw that Concubine Zhou refused to listen no matter what she said, she became angry.

After all, she is a martial artist. Although she was in poor health before, after Yun Zhining's care over the past few months, she has recovered to 50% of her former strength, which is more than enough for her to deal with a little palace maid.

The little palace maid was stopped by her and had no choice but to turn and look at Concubine Zhou.

Concubine Zhou was so angry that she decided to take action herself.

But Concubine Qi didn't care whether she was a palace maid or a concubine, and pushed her down.

Concubine Zhou's tailbone was almost broken, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Mr. Qi, are you determined to go against me today?"

"Noble Concubine Zhou is worrying too much. I just don't want the matter to get out of hand and affect the reputation of the Empress. But you don't have to worry. I witnessed what happened just now, so I will watch the Empress deal with Concubine Tang and Ming Xia, and will never let Concubine Yi suffer any injustice."

It was obvious that what happened today was instigated by the Queen. Both Mingxia and Concubine Tang were just tools to deal with Yun Zhining. Would the Queen really cut off such sharp claws just to give Yun Zhining an explanation?

That definitely won’t happen.

Since the perpetrators will not be punished, what is the point of explanation?

Concubine Zhou bit her lip, and her mouth was full of the taste of blood.

"Empress Qi, do you really want to be an accomplice to the tiger?"

"Empress Zhou, please be careful with your words. The Queen is not a tigress, and I am not a ghost. If you continue to slander the Queen, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"How can you be rude to me? How can you be rude to me?"

Concubine Zhou had never been treated like this since she followed Qi Yejing.

She spat the blood foam from her mouth directly onto Concubine Qi's face and cursed.

"Mr. Qi, don't think that just because you are a noble concubine and have the emperor's care and the queen's concern, you can dominate the harem."

"In fact, besides the Queen, I am the number one in the harem. You pushed me today, which is a violation of the order. When the Emperor comes, I will definitely sue you and make you kneel down and kowtow to apologize."

"What a pity. I'm sorry to disappoint you. The Emperor will not be coming today."

"Who said I won't come?"

Just as the Queen was about to jump out and pretend to be magnanimous and win people's hearts, she saw Qi Yejing bringing Dong Ling into the gate of Fengyi Palace with a very ugly look on her face.

Her heart sank instantly, and her expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Qi Yejing and no one noticed her, Xiaokui immediately rushed over, hugged Qi Yejing's feet and cried.

"Your Majesty, someone wants to kill the queen, you must stand up for her!"

Her cry was so sharp, like the cry of a cuckoo or the wailing of an ape, that anyone who heard it would be heartbroken and terrified, and deeply moved.

Qi Yejing was extremely angry.

"Who is so bold as to harm Concubine Yi?"

Xiao Kui cried but spoke very eloquently as she recounted everything that had happened that morning, emphasizing Ming Xia's insubordination, Concubine Tang's constant pressure, Concubine Qi's coldness and ruthlessness, and the Queen's inaction.

Finally, he pointed at Concubine Zhou, who was pushed to the ground by Concubine Qi in order to help Yun Zhining and has not been able to get up yet.

After she finished speaking, the little girl's eyes swelled up like walnuts.

Qi Yejing was also extremely angry.

"Queen, please come forward."

This was the first time that the Queen saw Qi Yejing so angry. She felt a little scared and didn't dare to go forward.

But the emperor had already issued the order, and she had no choice but to silently cheer herself up.

No matter what, she is the queen. No matter how angry the emperor is, he can't embarrass her in public.

As long as he passed this hurdle, got the secret recipe for having a child promised by Concubine Tang, and got pregnant, everything would be solved.

Thinking of this, her mood finally calmed down a little.

It's a pity that she doesn't understand Qi Yejing at all and is destined to suffer a great loss.

"emperor,……"

She had just stood still and had no time to open her mouth when Qi Yejing slapped her hard.

This slap not only made her say what she hadn't even had the chance to say, but also made her originally stable heart begin to waver.

The queen was very embarrassed and tears came out of her eyes.

"What did I do wrong? Why did the emperor treat me like this?"

"Okay, I know what you're thinking."

The queen's heart tightened, but she still looked aggrieved.

"I really didn't intend to harm Concubine Yi. Doesn't the emperor believe me?"

"I really want to believe you, but what you did makes it hard for me to believe it!"

Qi Yejing no longer wanted to see her like this, so he turned his head and looked away.

"Mingxia, Concubine Tang, and Concubine Qi, the three of you come forward as well."

With the Queen's previous experience as a lesson, Mingxia and Concubine Tang were terrified and unwilling to go forward. They were afraid that Qi Yejing would slap them in public and embarrass them, so they wanted to escape.

But Concubine Qi would not allow them to escape. She pulled them over, one by one.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, ..."

Concubine Tang said a few more words than the Queen, but still couldn't escape the slap.

Mingxia was slapped twice, one on each side, very symmetrically.

When it was Concubine Qi's turn, she slowly closed her eyes and waited for the slap.

But she waited for a long time and the slap didn't come.

She quickly opened her eyes and saw Qi Yejing staring at her with endless disappointment in his eyes.

The sharp sword split the clouds and mist, and Concubine Qi woke up instantly.

What did she just do?

Why doesn't she remember anything?

Yun Zhining was pretending to faint when she suddenly saw Concubine Qi staring at her with a confused look on her face. She frowned and had more guesses in her mind.

Could it be that the Queen also did something to Concubine Qi?

After all, Concubine Qi did not have a very good relationship with the Queen at the beginning. Although the Queen had been trying to win her over to deal with Concubine Zhou, Concubine Qi did not clearly express her attitude. Why did she suddenly rush to save the Queen later?

If it's for power and honor, then with her status, it's not necessary!

It can only be that the Queen had schemed against him.

No wonder she acted out of character today!

Queen, oh Queen, you are so vicious.

I’m afraid you don’t even know how many people you have harmed!

The more Yun Zhining thought about it, the more creepy she felt.

However, Qi Yejing's main battlefield is not in the harem, so he will not analyze a person's mental journey as deeply as Yun Zhining to see if she has been harmed by someone.

He only looks at results.

If the result is wrong, this person is guilty of a heinous crime.
