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

"You...if you doubt me and think the baby in my belly isn't yours, then go ahead and beat me. Thirty lashes? Beat me hard, beat me to death, and the baby too!"

Gu Shu'er was instantly inspired to die again.

Although her whole body was cold and her heart was beating violently under the emperor's pressure, she still forced herself to glare back.

"Gu Shu'er, it seems that I am too good to you!"

The emperor let go of Concubine Fan and gently patted Gu Shuer's face with that hand.

Warn her: "You should know your identity."

"I know my identity too well! I could have traveled all over the world, seeing everything, but because of this identity, I'm trapped here!"

Gu Shuer's eyes were red and she looked straight at the emperor.

Big tears fell from eyes that were too bright.

"I once thought about dying, and I actually tried to commit suicide. But since I found out I was pregnant, I've felt a tiny life growing inside me. Every day, every day, I vomit and feel dizzy, but I'm happy! I love this child! This is my child, and yours too.

I imagined her as a little princess, pretty and adorable, who would call me "mom" very early on. I also imagined him as a little prince, who would have been taught strict rules and had a hard time growing up, and I would play with him to relax.

I love this child, so I've begun to love you too. You're the child's father. And I've convinced myself that you love me too. Even though you've had so many other women, you definitely consider me your most special. Even if I'm stuck here for the rest of my life, as long as I have this child and you, I'm willing to do it.

Xiao Yu, you really disappoint me!"

Gu Shuer grabbed the emperor's hand that was patting her face and forcibly pulled it to her abdomen, letting his palm rest on the bulge of her abdomen.

"Touch yourself, touch your child, and touch your conscience! What makes you doubt me, Xiao Yu? For you and the child, I am willing to give up all my dreams and just be a quiet woman, but you..."

She shook her head vigorously, ignoring the emperor's pulling of her hair, "This is how you respond to me!"

"You attacked me. You wanted to beat the people around me to death. They worked hard day and night to take care of me and your children, and you wanted to beat them to death as a reward, right? Xiao Yu, you, what right do you have? Why are you so mean to me?"

"You're just taking advantage of the fact that I'm in love with you, right? Xiao Yu! You big bad bastard!"

Gu Shuer couldn't hold it in any longer and finally burst into tears.

It was not the usual tearful crying style of the palace ladies, but she cried loudly with her mouth wide open, without caring about her image.

The emperor loosened his grip on her hair.

He took a half step back, startled by her sudden burst of tears.

Look at her deeply.

His expression was no longer gloomy.

Shu'er...

Finally, I was conquered by him and fell in love with him?

what!

But let him know at this time!

"Shu'er. I..."

The emperor paused, then continued, "I believe you, but today's events cannot be easily dismissed. Regardless of the truth, you and the people around Concubine Fan cannot be allowed to stay."

He then ordered people to bring forward all the palace maids and eunuchs around Gu Shu'er and Concubine Fan, as well as those who stayed in their respective palaces and did not come with him.

The people arrived very quickly.

Everyone knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and the timid ones were already crying.

But no one dared to beg for mercy, for fear that the emperor would be furious and beat them to death immediately.

"The servants of Concubine Ling failed to protect their mistress, and the servants of Concubine Fan failed to restrain their mistress. Take them away and punish them. Let this serve as a warning to all in the palace."

At the emperor's command, the imperial guards came up and dragged the palace maids from the two places out.

Gu Shu'er and Concubine Fan were both dissatisfied.

Gu Shuer: "Xiao Yu, if you really believe in me, you shouldn't kill my palace maid. If you do this, who else will dare to take care of me and my unborn child wholeheartedly?!"

Concubine Fan: "Your Majesty, did you believe her and think that I was making false accusations? No, Your Majesty! Please investigate thoroughly and do not confuse the royal bloodline!"

In the midst of the chaos, suddenly, a palace maid who was being dragged away struggled hard, rushed out of the crowd, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will tell you everything. I only hope that Your Majesty will spare my life for the sake of my honesty! Concubine Ling did have a secret meeting with someone! The identity of the child in her womb is in doubt. Please understand, Your Majesty!"

what? !

Everyone present was stunned.

Especially Gu Shu'er, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief and stared at the palace maid.

"Pepper, what are you talking about? Are you crazy too?"

This is her personal maid!

Jiaohu kowtowed to her and said, "Your Majesty, although you treat me well, this sin is your own fault. I cannot lose my life for this. In two years, I will be able to leave the palace and reunite with my family. I can only apologize to you."

Then, he shouted to the crowd, "Chili, why are you still holding on? She keeps saying that we are all equal, but now she wants us to die for her mistakes. Wake up and tell me the truth!"

La Jiao is Gu Shuer's other personal maid.

Take care of her day and night.

She treated them like sisters and gave them fun names. They also called her Xiaoshuer in private and were very close to her.

At this moment, it's like this?!

Soon, everyone else was dragged out of Fengming Hall, and Jiaohu and Lajiao stayed behind.

Huo Jiao publicly admitted that her master, Concubine Ling, was indeed having an affair with a man.

La Jiao also whispered that when the Imperial Noble Concubine lived in Shunfei's palace, Lingfei went to practice sword dancing, but took advantage of the Imperial Noble Concubine's nap and had sex with her lover in the alley behind the house.

"… Concubine Shun was passing by and saw it. She was shocked, but she pretended not to see it and quickly left."

Concubine Shun didn't say anything for a long time.

I was suddenly called out and was startled.

"That's absolutely not true! Your Majesty, I am now certain that Concubine Ling has been wrongly accused. I have never witnessed anything so filthy, and yet they say this, it's clear they have bad intentions and are deliberately framing me!"

Queen Yan suddenly understood.

The people behind Concubine Fan want to overthrow her and Fei Wan's faction.

Concubine Ling was having an affair, and the Imperial Noble Concubine and Concubine Shun were covering it up. The Empress and Concubine Ling were from the same residence, so they would definitely be implicated...

Who is it?

In today's imperial palace, who would dare to frame so many high-ranking concubines at once?
