"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health and good health."

"Meet the Empress, Concubine Qi, Madam Lin, and Concubine Yi."

"My beloved concubines, there is no need to be polite. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Among the crowd, Concubine Zhou had the highest status, so naturally she spoke first.

"I heard that something happened in Fengyi Palace, so I rushed here immediately. I met a few sisters on the way, so I came here together."

"What on earth happened in Fengyi Palace? Why did the Queen become like this?"

The face was injured and the body was destroyed. How great is the hatred and resentment?

She didn't dare look at Qi Yao who was in a rage, for fear that she would follow the Queen's fate the next moment.

Qi Yejing pressed his eyebrows and helplessly told Concubine Zhou briefly what had just happened.

Concubine Zhou was horrified when she heard this.

"Is this true?"

"Whether it's true or not, why don't you just ask the Queen?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her unfriendly, the queen quickly explained.

"Of course it's not true. My kindness to Concubine Qi is obvious to all. Who dares to say no?"

"I dare!"

Concubine Wan suddenly interrupted her, then fell to her knees with a bang, kowtowed three times, with a very sad expression.

"Today, the palace affairs are not very busy, so I took the palace maid out for a walk to relax. Who knew that I accidentally bumped into Princess Chang'an? I quickly asked someone to bring Princess Chang'an to my bedroom, and then sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician."

"After a thorough examination by Imperial Doctor Gao, he said that Princess Chang'an was fine. I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when I heard him say something that instantly made my heart tighten."

Qi Yejing asked with a frown.

"What did Doctor Gao say?"

"Doctor Gao said, said, ..."

Concubine Wan glared at the Queen, tears streaming down her face as she was about to speak.

"He said that the screen that the Queen gave me had been made by soaking the wood in spices for five years. During these five years, the spices had completely penetrated into the wood."

"I like that screen so much that I have always placed it at the head of my bed. I smell that smell every day and my body has been almost destroyed. I will never have a child again in this life."

"The Queen's actions are too sinister and cruel. They are against the harmony of mankind and will be punished by heaven and earth. I beg the Emperor to make the decision for me and severely punish the Queen and seek justice for me."

Once one person spoke up, the rest were no longer afraid and began to tell the queen's crimes one by one.

Concubine Zhao: "On the day I entered the palace, when I offered tea to Her Majesty the Queen, She gave me a box of rouge as a reward. I liked it very much. I went back and asked the doctor to check it. It was fine, so I have been using it ever since."

"But who would have thought that the rouge brush was dipped in a potion that can prevent pregnancy, so I still don't have any children, and I won't have any in the future."

Concubine Zhe: "My situation is similar to that of Concubine Zhao. On my birthday when I first entered the palace, the Empress gave me a jasmine hair oil. I like it very much and use it from time to time."

"Who knew that there was a medicine on the wooden comb used for combing hair, and when used with hair oil, it would have a contraceptive effect."

"It may be that the Queen has too many people to watch out for, so it is impossible for her to use the same method on everyone, and the results obtained are also different. I am just unable to get pregnant, and my body is not injured. This is a blessing in disguise."

Madam Yin: "Compared to my sister, Concubine Zhe, I am really too unfortunate. The Queen directly ordered someone to give me a drug that can prevent me from getting pregnant. Not only can I not get pregnant, but my body has also been seriously damaged. The imperial physician said that I am afraid I will not live for more than five years."

After Madam Yin said this, Qi Yao became even angrier and his body trembled violently.

"Your Majesty, the doctor my brother invited also said that I would not live more than ten years after checking my pulse."

"The Queen murdered so many people for her own selfish reasons. She is unworthy of being the Queen!"

"I beg Your Majesty to abolish the Queen's position and cut Zhang Wanru into pieces. Only in this way can I and my sisters relieve the hatred in our hearts."

"I also agree with Concubine Qi's point of view."

"The queen has done such a sinister and cruel thing. She is really unworthy of being the queen. If her position as queen is not abolished and she is not severely punished, it will be difficult to appease the resentment of the concubines!"

Qi Yejing's eyes became even colder.

"Empress Zhou, did the Queen do the same thing to you?"

Concubine Zhou nodded, and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.

"Today, I had a sudden inspiration and ordered someone to sort out my private storehouse. It happened that the imperial physician came to check my pulse. I was in a good mood, so I asked him to choose two items from the store as a reward for him."

"Who knew that he didn't choose gold, silver, jade or other precious stones, but a string of Buddhist beads instead."

"The Empress sent someone to give me that string of Buddhist beads when I gave birth to Ming'er and celebrated his full moon. I wore it for a few years, but then I felt unwell for a while and changed all my accessories. After that, I put the Buddhist beads in the bottom of my box and never remembered to wear them again."

"The doctor held it in his hand and observed it for a while, then suddenly pulled out a Buddhist bead, crushed it with his foot, and took out a bead..."

"Musk beads!"

"No wonder I haven't gotten pregnant since I gave birth to Ming'er. It turns out it's all because of this string of Buddhist beads."

"My Queen, what did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this?"

"Why?"

Concubine Zhou was crying her heart out, but Qi Yejing suddenly remembered something.

"Empress Yi, is this the reason why you smashed the Buddhist beads that the Queen Mother gave to Concubine Zhou?"

Yun Zhining nodded and said in a low voice.

"I have loved dreaming since I was young. Every time I dream, it is bizarre and confusing."

"The first time I saw Concubine Zhou, I had a nightmare that night. I dreamed that Concubine Zhou died under a string of Buddhist beads."

"But I don't know who gave me that string of Buddhist beads, or when they appeared, so I can only smash all the beads to save Concubine Zhou's life."

"But at that time, Concubine Zhou didn't know the truth and blamed me, and even beat and scolded me. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager also had complaints about me."

"I really want to explain, but I don't know how to say it. I'm afraid you won't believe me, so I can only keep silent."

"But I never thought that after I had that warning dream, it was too late. The tragedy had already happened and could not be reversed."

"Good, good, good."

"What a queen!"

Qi Yejing was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

"I handed the harem over to you, and this is how you treat them?"

"If even the high-ranking concubines are like this, won't the low-ranking concubines be tortured to death by you?"

Even when death was imminent, the queen still refused to plead guilty.

"I didn't do any of these things. Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse me."

Qi Yejing wanted to laugh when he heard it.

"Injustice?"

"Hehehe!"

"Didn't you push Concubine Yi off the high platform?"

"Didn't you release the poisonous snake in the imperial garden?"

"Didn't you instigate Concubine Shu?"

"Didn't you order someone to drown Concubine Hui in the pond?"

"Or is it that you didn't instigate Jiang Cairen?"

"You were not the one who contacted Prince Rong?"

The previous events did not cause any blow to the queen, but when the word "Prince Rong" was uttered, the queen's body instantly weakened.

She slowly raised her head and met Qi Yejing's cold gaze.

He slowly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a cold smile.

"Mingqiu was captured a few days ago. She stayed in the palace for a day and a night and confessed everything."

"Queen, do you still want to deny it?"
