The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"Sister Sakura!"

Wu Xiangrong was caught off guard and was shocked when she failed to grab it.

He quickly followed Zhishu out, caught up with her, grabbed her wrist, and whispered, "Sister, you can't go! You're clearly being tricked, why would you go?"

Zhishu lowered her voice: "Sister, if you are willing to help me, just chase me and persuade me."

As they were speaking, the imperial maids Ruochu and Xia He who were serving here had already rushed over.

They were originally working in the corridor. Xia He was guarding the silver pot and boiling medicine. Ruo Chuzheng and the little palace maid were in charge of the night watch. When they saw Zhishu and Wu Xiangrong coming out one after another, jogging, how could they not be anxious?

"Master Ying, be careful of a miscarriage!"

Aunt Ruochu looked concerned.

Xia He looked back and forth at the two of them with her round eyes, silently asking the reason with her eyes, showing anxiety just right without being offensive.

Zhishu pulled her wrist back from Wu Xiangrong's hand.

"Sister Wu, please don't stop me! I haven't been feeling well today. If it weren't for Concubine Si, how could I be like this!"

If Chu and the other two were present, Wu Xiangrong could not say anything clearly.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said anxiously, "Sister, don't listen to what others say. You need to be at ease so that you can take care of the baby. You can't walk around if you're not feeling well..."

"Her Majesty the Consort has been telling me all day long, saying that the experienced midwife in the palace said that moving around more will give me the strength I need for childbirth!"

Zhishu had a cold and angry look on her face, and didn't seem to want to be advised at all.

Taking advantage of the others' unpreparedness, he turned around and walked away quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of Changle Palace.

The blockade of Changle Palace has been lifted, and there are only two eunuchs guarding the gate. How could they dare to stop Lady Sakura, who is pregnant and as precious as a phoenix egg?

Zhishu ran all the way, and Wu Xiangrong pulled her sleeve twice, but did not dare to pull it hard.

Ruochu and Xiahe, the palace maids, and Zhishu's maids who followed later, did not dare to be rude to the young lady.

Everyone surrounded her from front and back, protecting her.

In this way, she ran all the way to a remote palace to the east of the inner palace.

There is an old wooden plaque on the door, with an old color. There are two large dark green characters on it, with mottled and peeling paint. They are "Cool".

The yard is full of dense green bamboos, quiet and cool.

If you come here in summer, it will be really refreshing, but now in the autumn wind, it makes people feel that this place is lonely and cold, and it is not suitable to stay for long.

When I entered the door, the ground was littered with fallen leaves, making it look even more desolate.

"My dear, please don't go in, or you'll catch a cold. It's best for you to stay in a warm place right now."

Aunt Ruochu knelt in front of Zhishu.

The other palace maids also knelt down.

Wu Xiangrong also grabbed Zhishu's sleeve again.

A wooden stick about half a foot long and an inch wide slid out of Zhishu's sleeve.

Palace maids who committed serious mistakes were often slapped in the face with this kind of ruler.

The extremely hard wooden strips are uneven, suitable for bearing force and can beat people into a bloody mess.

Zhishu raised the wooden stick and held it against her stomach.

"I'm probably going to lose this pregnancy. It feels good today, bad tomorrow, and I'm always feeling miserable. You won't let me have my day, and I'll keep suffocating myself for a few days and miscarry. It'll be the same result. I might as well just have the abortion myself now!"

She pretended to hit herself in the stomach, regardless of anything.

"My lord, don't!"

Everyone turned pale with shock.

Everyone knows that this is the lady with the coldest temper in the palace.

Ruochu quickly knelt down and made way.

Only then did Zhishu put down the ruler, still holding it tightly in her hand, and walked inside.

The Qingliang Palace's courtyard was winding, its flowers and trees untended, and it looked desolate. Following the stone path around several bends, there wasn't a single palace servant on the road.

When they arrived in front of the main house, they found Cao Bin and two young eunuchs waiting at the steps.

"Master Sakura?"

Cao Bin was taking a nap on a rock when he was woken up by a young eunuch who pushed him. He tiptoed over to meet him.

Zhishu didn't look at him, but just asked, "Is your Majesty here? Is he inside?"

"Yes……"

Zhishu walked straight in.

Cao Bin quickly bowed and stopped her, lowering his voice: "My lady, please wait. His Majesty is talking to Concubine Si and cannot be disturbed at this time."

Zhishu didn't waste any words, raised the ruler and hit her on the stomach.

Cao Bin was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "My lady, you can't do that! He's the heir to the throne!"

"We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, let alone an heir to the throne. Whether or not we can keep him is another matter. Don't inform me, don't stop me, or you'll be the one who forced the heir to death!"

Cao Bin was speechless.

Turning to look at Ruo Chu and the others who were staggering behind, everyone looked embarrassed.

Zhishu didn't care whether they were embarrassed or not. She took the ruler and walked straight up the stone steps to the window of the main house.

The emperor's voice came from inside.

"...You may have made a mistake, but it's not this serious. However, I have no choice but to be patient as I need you."

The voices of the deposed Empress Zheng Yunyi and Concubine Si sobbing were also quite clear.

"Yulang, I understand you're sad. Don't worry, I don't blame you, nor do I hate you. If I really want to hate someone, I will only blame the person who framed me, not Yulang."

"In fact, without the Phoenix throne, I feel liberated."

"That position is just a shackle to me. Since entering the palace, I have never had a good night's sleep."

"But I can sleep now."

"I slept very soundly and peacefully, especially..."

"After Yulang and I became close friends..."

The following words were not clear.

Zhishu waited for a while, and when she heard nothing, she walked to the door with very light steps.

He used a warning look to signal Cao Bin and others not to make a sound.

She rushed in.

"Your Majesty, you are here to reprimand Concubine Si. She has prevented me from carrying the baby safely. I am so scared. Although I haven't had any period recently, I feel sore in my waist and knees and a cold stomach every day. I cannot bear this. This is your heir to the throne!"

Inner room.

The emperor, who was holding Concubine Si, stood up hurriedly. His collar was a little messy, as it had just been torn open by Concubine Si.

But Concubine Si's clothes were in disarray.

When Zhishu broke into the inner room, she didn't have time to tidy up her clothes. She was in a panic and her face flushed.

Shocked and angry, he scolded Zhishu: "What are you doing here?"

Zhishu stopped abruptly.

A look of shock.

Then, he took two steps back in disbelief, his back hitting the door frame.

"Your Majesty...you...you are not here to reprimand Concubine Si? You and she..."

A look of embarrassment crossed the emperor's face.

He pulled up his collar, coughed with his hands behind his back, and his face turned cold.

"Sakura, why are you here?"

"My concubine... My concubine..."

Tears flashed in Zhishu's eyes.

With a hurt expression, she whispered, "I feel unwell, very scared, and confused... I don't know why, I came here in a fit of rage... She murdered so many people, how could she still hold the position of consort? Your Majesty, I can't understand..."

"Are you questioning my decision?"

"I dare not!"

Zhishu shed a tear.

She raised her head and blinked hard, forcing back the tears.

"My rude concubine, I'll take my leave!"

She turned around in grief and anger and left.

The emperor strode out the door and saw only Zhishu's stubborn back as she left.

He shouted at the trembling Cao Bin: "Why didn't you inform me?"

Cao Bin knelt down.

Next to her, Aunt Ruochu asked others to protect Zhishu, and she knelt beside Cao Bin.

"Your Majesty, it was my fault that I failed to protect you and was unable to stop Lady Ying. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The emperor was quite polite to Ruo Chu.

He asked in a deep voice, "Why did Consort Ying suddenly break into Qingliang Palace?"

Ruo Chu reported truthfully, "After the news of the imperial edict arrived, Lady Ying sat silently by the window for a long time, but she was fine. Later, Lady Wu arrived, and the two chatted and laughed. I listened from outside, and Lady Ying seemed relieved. However, Lady Xianfei's maid Linglong brought in the soup, and after she left, Lady Ying quickly rushed out and came all the way here. Eunuch Cao didn't dare to stop her because she was very excited, and I and the others were afraid of disturbing her fetal energy."

Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she seemed to be in a hurry, she had not gone far. She just turned around a few bamboo clumps and disappeared. Zhishu also heard Ruochu's words.

She curled her lips secretly.

The virtuous concubine wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but she didn't know who would kill whom.

She walked out of the Qingliang Palace and headed towards the Chunxi Palace.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not kill Concubine Si, and even met with her secretly. He had to discuss this with Sister Zhao quickly.
