"Queen Mother, please take a nap. I will call you if there is anything."

Tohka stacked the pillows for her master, took a thin blanket and carefully covered her master's legs with it, moving with extreme caution.

The Queen Mother had just eaten a meal during her rest period, and now she had some tea and snacks. She felt full and sleepy.

As people age, their energy and blood become weak, and it's common for them to feel sluggish after a full meal. The Queen Mother followed Tohka's advice and dozed off on her pillow.

The carriage was bumpy, but he fell asleep. But not long after, he suddenly shouted loudly and sat up straight.

"Queen, what's wrong with you?"

Tohka quickly supported her.

The empress dowager was covered in cold sweat, tightly pinching the old servant's arm, her face turned black.

"Kai'er..."

As he called out the name of Prince Rui, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Empress Dowager, did you dream about Prince Rui?" When Shixiang heard this, her expression suddenly became sad.

The Queen Mother took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, choking with sobs as she said, "I saw it. Kai'er was killed by the Duke of Zhenguo with a single blow! The Emperor was standing by, watching and laughing!"

Tohka also shed tears.

"Queen Dowager, please accept my condolences. Prince Rui has passed away. Please take good care of yourself. When we return to the palace to see His Majesty, we will ask His Majesty to punish the Duke of Zhenguo and seek justice for the prince."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

"Can he seek justice for Kai'er? He wishes Kai'er were dead so that no one could threaten his throne. But the throne of Daliang can be held by either him or Kai'er. Even if Kai'er dies, there are still Kai'er's children!"

Tohka looked at the Queen Mother with a stern face and didn't dare to say a word.

"Report——"

"Urgent news from the capital!"

Suddenly, a loud announcement was heard outside the car.

The sound of hurried horse hooves made the Queen Mother calm down immediately, wipe away her tears, and open the car window. What she saw was the guards sent by the Chungcheongbok Mansion.

Before the Queen Mother launched her rebellion, she sent a messenger on horseback back to the city to secretly contact the people in the Chungcheongbok Mansion and let her family know her whereabouts.

"Get in the car and talk!"

It is inappropriate to let men enter the car, but under special circumstances, the Queen Mother did not care about the useless men and women.

The guard jumped into the car covered in dust, panting and reporting in a low voice.

"Prince Rui has died, his palace has been confiscated, and all his family and servants have been imprisoned. The Duke of Zhenguo has led his troops throughout the city to blockade those officials and nobles who had close ties with Prince Rui. By the time I left the city, I had already confiscated the property of thirteen people."

The Queen Mother's face turned pale with anger: "Ridiculous!"

Nanny Shixiang interjected, "What about Prince Rui's children? Were they imprisoned along with him? And what about Princess Rui?"

The guard lowered his head: "...They are all in prison."

The Queen Mother noticed the guard's hesitation and shouted, "Tell the truth!"

The guard was silent for a moment.

Then he said carefully, "The princess had a miscarriage while in prison. I heard that an imperial physician attended to her. Her current condition is unknown. Gentlemen and ladies..."

"Say it!"

"Gone……"

The Queen Mother's body swayed, and her vision went dark. "What? Tell me carefully!"

The guard trembled with fear and told the news that Chungcheong-bok had heard.

When the Rui Wang Mansion was ransacked, the servants hid the young masters in the kitchen cellar to protect them. But for unknown reasons, the cellar suddenly caught fire...

The Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of blood.

He fell straight down.

"Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!" Tohka screamed.

He immediately called the imperial physician and military doctor who were accompanying the team over.

Before the doctor entered the carriage, Shixiang urged the guard, "Report any further news to me first. I'll report back to the Queen Mother when she wakes up. Go rest in the back carriage. You've worked hard on this journey. Once this is accomplished, the Queen Mother will surely reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Madam!"

The guard hurriedly said a few unfinished words, completed his task of reporting the news, and then jumped out of the car with a sense of relief, making room for the imperial physician to treat the empress dowager.

The doctors used cooling powder and acupressure techniques, and finally woke up the empress dowager after a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the Queen Mother woke up, she cursed the doctor as a "beast" and drove him out of the carriage.

The two imperial doctors accompanying the team were terrified and retreated to a car farther away, trembling.

"He killed Kai'er and then killed Kai'er's child!"

"And the unborn child!"

"You beast, you're so vicious!"

"How could I have helped a beast to succeed to the throne?"

Tohka tried to persuade her with tears in her eyes, but it was of no use.

Suddenly, Zheng Zhuyi's voice was heard outside.

"Empress Dowager! I heard that you are unwell, so I came to serve you!"

"Tell her to get out."

The Queen Mother didn't have the patience to deal with Zheng Zhuyi at this time.

Yu Sujin's voice rang out again: "Empress Dowager, may I give you another leg massage?"

Still on a forced march, the two men were running after the car, making requests loudly, and were out of breath.

The Queen Mother frowned and told Yu Sujin to get in the car.

"Your sister fled, fearing her guilt. The people searching for her haven't returned yet. You will bear her guilt for her!"

He then asked Yu Sujin to kneel down.

Zheng Zhuyi squeezed onto the bus and forced Madam Shixiang to squat against the wall.

Seeing the Queen Mother's ferocious expression, Zheng Zhuyi quickly pulled Yu Sujin and said, "I told you to kneel. Hurry up!"

Yu Sujin was pushed to the ground.

My knees hit the bottom of the car with a dull thud.

She lowered her head and tried to defend herself, but was interrupted by Zheng Zhuyi before she could say two words.

"I thought this was the palace? The Queen Mother will lead her troops back to the palace to purge the emperor's court and clean up the world. Then your sister will be convicted along with the rebels and will die. And you, too, will be implicated by her!"

After taking a look at the Queen Mother's expression, Zheng Zhuyi suddenly revealed a ferocious expression and pulled Yu Sujin's hair apart.

Then, when she looked up in surprise, he slapped her hard.

Snapped!

The sound was unusually loud in the small space.

Yu Sujin bit her lip, held back her tears, and endured it.

The Queen Mother always had a gloomy expression.

Zheng Zhuyi continued to hit him one after another.

The Queen Mother's indulgence made her realize that she had done the right thing, and she felt increasingly relieved.

As a newcomer to the palace at the same time, although she held a higher position than Yu Sujin, her rise to power was not due to the emperor's favor. She secretly resented Yu Sujin when she was favored, and now, she finally had the opportunity to take complete revenge.

How could it be more satisfying to secretly let Yu Sujin keep watch than to slap Yu Sujin in front of the Queen Mother and get the Queen Mother's praise?

This time, he didn't have to act with the Queen Mother, or he would be scolded for abusing Yu Sujin.

She can deal with the other party openly!

"Your Majesty, please spare my life... Please spare me..."

Yu Sujin was beaten all over the place, and finally after more than twenty hits, she collapsed and fell on the car door.

"careful!"

The car door was kicked open, and Nanny Shixiang screamed, thinking that Yu Sujin was about to fall out of the car, and rushed over to pull her up.

But he pushed Zheng Zhuyi down.

The car door was half open, and Yu Sujin was leaning against the corner, and there was a wooden wall blocking her, so she didn't fall down.

But Zheng Zhuyi did not lean on anyone and was directly pushed out of the car by Shixiang.

"Oh! Oh my God! Your Majesty!"

Tohka screamed out in shock.

Where the wheels pass.

Pressed on Zheng Zhuyi's legs.
