The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

A light blue smoke rose from the incense burner. When Dongmei saw the smoke rising, the worry in her eyes became even heavier.

"Your Majesty, the princess has been kneeling for an hour. If she kneels any longer, her knees will be crippled. If the emperor finds out, he will blame her again."

Liang Zhirou's soft voice with a crying tone also sounded at this moment.

"Mother, Rou'er knows she was wrong. Father and Mother taught me that Rou'er is the legitimate princess of Daxia. Her every word and action is the face of the royal family. It was Rou'er who was ignorant and upset Father and Mother, and implicated Mother. Rou'er will change for the better and will never anger Father and Mother again."

Liang Zhirou's well-behaved voice was tinged with a heavy nasal tone. She raised her head and looked at the queen, pursing her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like ripe peaches, and she looked pitiful.

Seeing her like this, the queen finally softened her expression and waved to the little princess kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Dongmei immediately helped the princess walk towards the queen's bed.

After kneeling for a long time, Liang Zhirou's legs became very weak. It felt as if her legs were filled with lead and it was difficult for her to take a step.

With Dongmei's support, Liang Zhirou walked to her mother's bed with difficulty, and had to support herself on the edge of the bed with both hands to keep her balance.

The queen put down the small white jade bottle in her hand and gently stroked Liang Zhirou's little face, her face full of pity.

"Rou'er, good boy, does it hurt?"

She had just been kneeling on the ground for over an hour. From the unbearable pain at the beginning to the complete numbness, Liang Zhirou thought her tears had dried up long ago. But now, when her mother asked her about it, the tears in her heart seemed to be about to run out of her eyes again.

"It doesn't hurt. It's Rou'er's fault. I made Mother feel bad. I won't do it again. Mother believes in Rou'er."

As she said these words, Liang Zhirou couldn't hold back her tears and wet the Queen's palm.

"Mother is doing all this for your own good. Mother went through the same thing when she was little. No matter how much I say, it won't be as profound as letting you be punished once. You must remember the feeling of this punishment and always be vigilant. Do you understand?"

"I know, Rou'er knows."

Liang Zhirou nodded repeatedly. Dongmei stood aside. Although she felt that the queen was too harsh on the princess this time, she was just a servant after all. It was not her place to say anything. She could only lower her head and not watch the scene of loving mother and filial son.

At this moment, Fang Changli hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, glanced at the Queen, and saw the little princess there, and immediately swallowed back the words on his lips.

Seeing him like this, the queen knew that something had happened again, and she asked the palace maids to take the little princess away.

"Tell me, is the matter of Yikun Palace settled?"

As the eunuch in charge of Kunning Palace, Fang Changli knew how much the Empress valued Concubine Chen's pregnancy. He had tried several times but failed to deal with Concubine Chen, and he had been feeling depressed for a long time.

Seeing that Concubine Chen's baby is getting bigger and bigger, the Emperor still attaches great importance to it. The spies who were put into operation last time have not made any move so far, and no one knows what the situation is.

Looking at the empress's majestic appearance without even getting angry, Fang Changli thought of the news that had just been received and his heart trembled.

I wish I could just turn around and leave, pretending I knew nothing about it.

In the end, he couldn't resist the Queen's sharp gaze, lowered his head, and finished his words in one go.

"Just now, the Empress Dowager at Kunning Palace made the title of Consort Chun, and moved her into Changchun Palace. The original head of Changchun Palace, Qi Zhaoyi, was banished to the left side hall. Now people have come to the gate of Kunning Palace, begging the Empress to grant her justice."

(Zhaoyi was the head of the Nine Concubines and was a concubine of the second rank.)

After Fang Changli finished speaking, Kunning Palace fell silent. The palace servants who were serving on the side all lowered their heads and dared not breathe, for fear of being implicated.

"What did you say?"

The queen was instantly furious and a mouthful of blood rushed to her head.

The look he gave Fang Changli was as if he was looking through him at a dead person.

The Queen's vomiting of blood was a serious matter, and the Kunning Palace was instantly thrown into chaos.

Concubine Qi was waiting in front of the palace gate with a group of palace maids. When she saw a palace maid coming out of the palace, she was about to follow her in.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid just bowed to her hurriedly and ran away before she could call for help.

"Her Majesty the Queen has always been very strict with her subjects and always values rules. Could something have happened?"

Just as Qi Zhaoyi finished speaking, the sound of the Queen vomiting blood was heard from Kunning Palace.

Qi Zhaoyi covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes were filled with unconcealable panic.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go first? The Queen is ill and I'm afraid she won't be able to see you for a while."

Qi Zhaoyi's personal maid Xianghe gently tugged at the corner of Qi Zhaoyi's clothes.

The latter suddenly woke up from his dream, came with a huge crowd, and left quietly.

When the news of the queen vomiting blood reached Yiku Palace, Xiang Huayue had already woken up and was having breakfast with the emperor.

"The Queen vomited blood? Can you tell me why?"

When Xiang Huayue heard that the queen had vomited blood, she even lost her appetite for breakfast. If the emperor had not been here, she would have asked Li Jin to find out what had happened.

However, when Liang Zhan asked the question, he did not stop putting food into Xiang Huayue's bowl, as if it was not his wife who was vomiting blood.

"Fang Changli didn't mention this when he came to invite her, but just now, Qi Zhaoyi led people to Kunning Palace. Although they couldn't get in, the Empress vomited blood shortly afterwards."

"Qi Zhaoyi? Which Qi Zhaoyi?"

There were so many concubines in the harem that Liang Zhan couldn't remember who this Qi Zhaoyi was.

Xiang Huayue has been acting more and more arbitrarily lately because of Liang Zhan's indulgence. She rolled her eyes in front of Liang Zhan.

Liang Zhan didn't see it, but Qi Deyuan, who was reporting on his work across the street, happened to see it.

Qi Deyuan lowered his head. He didn't see anything and continued to report on his work.

"She is the second prince's biological mother, the daughter of the Qi family, the left leader of the bannermen. The Empress Dowager arranged for Concubine Chun to stay in Changchun Palace. Qi Zhaoyi was the original head of Changchun Palace. When Concubine Chun came, she had to live in the left side hall according to the order of rank. Then she went to the Empress to seek justice, but before she even entered the palace, she heard that the Empress was vomiting blood. She was so scared that she returned to Changchun Palace."

Concubine Chun?

Xiang Huayue remembered that there was no such person in the palace before she became pregnant. Has the emperor found a new love?

Xiang Huayue had long been accustomed to the emperor's amorous feelings and had no interest in the new concubines entering the palace, but it must be no simple matter for her to make the queen vomit blood.

Xiang Huayue's beautiful eyes moved, staring at Liang Zhan without blinking.

Receiving his beloved concubine's eager gaze, Liang Zhan chuckled and said:

"Concubine Chun is the Queen's half-sister. The Queen Mother wanted her to come to the palace to accompany the Queen, and I agreed."

Liang Zhan said it lightly. Xiang Huayue had thought of countless identities of Concubine Chun, but she had never thought of this one. No wonder the queen, who was the mother of the country, was so angry that she vomited blood.

Xiang Huayue looked at the emperor with a hint of cunning in her smile.

"Your Majesty~"

What evil is this, my beloved?

"Ok?"

"How bad are you~"
