The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The Fuyang Palace is still as prosperous as before with its carved beams and painted buildings, but the former glory has long since faded. The huge palace is very deserted, with only a few palace servants guarding it.

Pushing open the heavy palace door, sunlight shone into the room. Looking at the empty bedroom, the queen was slightly puzzled.

There was a rustling sound coming from the inner room. The palace maid was about to go in to check, but the next second, Concubine Ru with disheveled hair suddenly rushed out, grabbed the palace maid tightly, with a strange smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You've finally come to see Ru'er!"

The palace maid was held in her arms and couldn't pull away. She was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet. Ru Fei leaned on his shoulder like a little bird.

"I knew the Emperor would come to see Ru'er. Look, I'm wearing your favorite color, red, and the red jade and golden phoenix hairpin you gave me. Don't I look beautiful today?"

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on her messy bun, and the golden phoenix on her hairpin was shining brightly.

"How dare you! How dare you, a concubine, wear red! And this golden phoenix hairpin! How can a concubine like you wear it! Come! Quickly arrest this lunatic who committed treason!"

He Lan shouted, and the palace maids behind her immediately stepped forward. Concubine Ru was frightened by the shout, and turned around to see the person at the door. The scarlet embroidered phoenix robe was extremely luxurious, and she was still as dignified and beautiful as she had been for more than ten years. It was the face she hated and envied the most.

The palace maids held her down and took off her palace clothes. Just when He Lan was about to pull off the hairpin on her head, Concubine Ru suddenly broke free, took off the hairpin and held it tightly in her hand. Her pale face no longer had the charm of the past, and only ferocious eyes were staring fiercely at the people at the door.

"He Lingyi!——"

He Lan slapped her without mercy, "How dare you! How dare you address the Empress by her name!"

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and half of her face was numb and swollen, but she didn't care at all, and her smile became more and more crazy.

"Hahaha....Queen?"

"What kind of queen are you? Hahaha...just an empty title." She fondly stroked the phoenix hairpin in her hand, "In the emperor's heart, I am his true queen."

Glancing at the golden phoenix, the Queen chuckled, "It's just a hairpin. Even if the Emperor gave you dozens of phoenix hairpins, it still wouldn't shake my position as Queen."

Concubine Ru hated her pretentious attitude the most, and completely tore off the only remaining veil between the two of them, and vented her anger loudly at the Queen.

"The Emperor has long since grown tired of you, an old woman. Don't you think about how many times he's stayed in your palace over the years? Who are you pretending to be so virtuous every day?"

The queen didn't want to get entangled with the madman any longer, so she glanced at He Lan. The palace maids brought torture instruments and pierced the nail crevices with sharp bamboo sticks, causing excruciating pain. Ru Fei trembled in agony, but she didn't stop shouting at all.

"You are just relying on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If I had a good mother's family like you, the position of Queen would have been mine long ago! And my Chang'er! Chang'er..."

"My Chang'er, the Emperor personally taught him his lessons, taught him riding and archery, and also talked to him about governing the country. The Emperor said that Chang'er is his most beloved child..."

The palace maid brought a round chair, and the queen sipped her tea, watching her struggle with angry eyes and bared teeth coldly.

"You're afraid Chang'er will take away your son's throne, and you're jealous that the emperor only loves me. He Lingyi, you..."

"Hahaha..." The Queen seemed to have heard something funny, "Jealous of you?"

There was finally a change on his indifferent face. He glanced at her with contempt, stayed on her face for a few seconds, and then covered his lips and laughed.

After a while, he stopped smiling and raised his hand to ask the palace servants to stop the torture. Ru Fei collapsed to the ground powerlessly, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

He Lan dismissed the palace servants, closed the door and stood guard at the entrance. The queen looked at the disheveled figure on the ground and sneered, "The emperor loves you?"

"Liu Rumei, Liu Rumei, you've been in the palace for so many years, don't you know that the emperor is ruthless?"

Ru Fei's lips trembled as she looked at the hem of her skirt embroidered with golden phoenix patterns. She raised her head with difficulty and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha... He Lingyi, so the Queen relies on these four words to convince herself that she can't win the Emperor's love?"

The Queen leaned over, her cool fingers stroking her face. "You're just the most similar substitute among a bunch of substitutes, yet you still dream of winning the Emperor's love?"

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the smile in the Queen's eyes, Concubine Ru's heart skipped a beat, as if she had suddenly woken up for a moment, but she quickly denied it the next second, "You're talking nonsense! What substitute!"

"The Emperor and I have known each other for many years. We understand each other and are in love!" She looked at the palace, which was so luxurious that it exceeded the rules for concubines. She didn't know whether she wanted to convince the Queen or herself.

"Every brick and tile, every piece of wood and every piece of yarn in this palace were personally selected for me by the Emperor. Even the flowers in the courtyard were planted by him personally. In my dreams at midnight, the Emperor calls out my name. The love between the Emperor and me is so deep, how could it be..."

The Queen sneered, "You and the Emperor met at the horse farm. The Emperor praised your horsemanship and said that you looked so dashing and charming when you rode and whipped your whip. Your name is Liu Rumei. The Emperor praised your name and named you Rumei, Rumei, and made you Rufei."

Looking around, the sneer on his face became even stronger. "I remember that you liked Biqing, but the palace he carefully built for you was made of purple cattail. You liked Impatiens, but he planted a whole yard of wisteria for you."

"Shut up! You..."

"He called your name in his dream?" He shouted, ignoring Concubine Ru's attempts to stop him. The Queen sneered, "But he called you Ru'er?"

Looking down at her stunned face, the queen sneered.

"Your Majesty is right. Your name is good. If your face is even slightly similar to Lu Jinru's, it's already quite charming. It's certainly rare for him."

Ru Fei's lips were trembling. The ground was cold and wet, and the pain all over her body was accompanied by a bone-chilling coldness. She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but she couldn't utter a word. She could only shake her head in resistance. However, the Queen's words seemed to be engraved in her mind and could not be dispelled.

She lowered her head and murmured with self-deprecating laughter, "No wonder you didn't care at all after I fought with you for all these years. Hahaha... You knew it a long time ago... You knew it a long time ago!... Hahahaha..."

The next second she raised her head abruptly, laughing like a madman, "Hahaha... That's why you killed Lu Jinru... You killed her, right..."

When Su Yuejian brought Ying'er to the palace that day, although it was only a moment, she clearly saw a flash of panic on the face of the queen, who was always dignified and calm.

That day, she was only concerned about the dead Xiao Chengchang and had no time to think too much. Now that she thought about it, it was no wonder that the queen had never bothered to attack her all these years. It turned out that she had already killed the woman she hated the most.

Looking at the empress's gloomy face, Concubine Ru laughed even more crazily, "I almost believed your lies. You are just a jealous woman, wearing a mask of nobility! In the end, you were so jealous that you killed your good sister with your own hands. He Lingyi, what are you so proud of?"

The golden phoenix hairpin on the ground was stained with blood red, making the phoenix eyes look unusually scarlet. The queen sneered, "Jealous?"

The setting sun's light shone upon her through the glazed windows. The phoenix pattern on the hem of her skirt was exquisite and dazzling, as if it was about to fly out. Even though she did not have a golden phoenix on her head, her whole body temperament showed her nobility.

"I am the Crown Princess appointed by the late Emperor, the Empress of Tianjin, the mother of the nation. My position is untouchable. Who the Emperor likes is none of my business."

Concubine Ru raised her head with difficulty, seeing the indifference in her eyes. Her mind buzzed, "You...you killed Lu Jinru to avenge the emperor?!"
