Hearing that he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, Ruyi felt a little chilled. She put aside the affairs of the Yikun Palace and rushed over, ignoring the gazes of the crowd and blocking the way in front of the Concubine's Palace, but it was not to listen to these few words.

She stood there with her neck stiffened, not even a thought of leaving.

Seeing that everyone was still standing there, the emperor finally couldn't hold back his anger and said coldly, "What? Didn't you hear me?"

"Your Majesty, they are kneeling here because they know they are wrong. Are you going to let them off lightly?"

Ruyi couldn't believe it. She looked up at the emperor, trying to find the image of him when they were in love. Unfortunately, she failed.

Hearing this, the emperor felt that he was being provoked. Since when did his words as an emperor become less effective than those of the queen?

Is this harem his harem or the queen's harem?

He was very angry about this and turned around with his hands behind his back. He did not try to change the subject and give both parties a way out as he had done before.

In that case, let's do as she wishes.

"The Queen is so persistent, no wonder they are afraid of you."

There was a hint of coldness in his words. Looking at Ruyi who was looking up at him, he felt a sense of strangeness in his heart.

She just stared straight at the king. This kind of look was definitely not what a queen should have, and certainly not what a subject should look at the king.

Did she become a little proud as soon as she sat on the throne of queen and forget how to be a subject?

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have offered you a meal made with deer blood wine. I beg you to punish me. Please don't let such a small matter hurt my relationship with the Empress."

Seeing the fire burning, Yanwan started to stir up trouble, trying to make the fire burn even more vigorously.

A trivial matter? Deer blood wine was a trivial matter, but the empress was now so arrogant that she even dared to threaten him, the emperor. This was definitely not a trivial matter.

The emperor did not respond. He just sighed deeply, trying to ease his inner anger.

Even though they were husband and wife, he didn't want to make things too awkward in front of everyone and lose his gentlemanly demeanor.

Rong Pei was fully aware of the situation and knew that it would be useless for the two to continue arguing, so she spoke first, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere between the emperor and the empress: "Your Majesty, Sanbao brought some sobering drinks. Your Majesty, please drink them while they're hot."

"No, I don't want to drink."

The emperor didn't drink deer blood wine, so why should he drink sobering soup?

Is the Queen crazy?

Concubine Ling has explained it and I have said it myself, so why does she just refuse to listen?

How could she be so unreasonable? She was always so stubborn and wouldn't tolerate any arguments.

Seeing that the emperor was unwilling to drink, Ruyi thought that the emperor was guilty. She took the sobering soup rather unconvinced, pressed on, and handed the sobering soup to the emperor.

"Your Majesty has drunk so much, he should have a bowl of sobering soup to calm down."

She was very stubborn. She placed the bowl in front of the emperor and looked at the man in front of her, her husband, with great determination.

The emperor should drink a bowl of soup to sober up and not believe Concubine Ling's lies.

"I said I won't drink it!"

Seeing that she ignored his words in front of everyone, the emperor felt that his majesty was challenged. He never expected that the queen would be so aggressive and even wanted to control whether he drank the soup or not.

He would never allow anyone to challenge his authority, even if the person in front of him was his wife whom he had shared his joys and sorrows with and dreamed of marrying day and night when he was young.

The emperor overturned the soup bowl, trying to save his dignity as a king in front of everyone.

boom--

The soup bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with soup splattering all over the floor.

Ruyi didn't expect the emperor to suddenly attack her. She was wearing a flowerpot bottom and was easily blown away by his force and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the palace maid beside her was quick to support her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The emperor never thought that he almost knocked Ruyi down with just a slight push. He subconsciously wanted to support her, but he felt relieved when he saw that she was caught steadily by the palace servants.

A trace of confusion flashed across Ruyi's face. How could the emperor actually attack her?

For Concubine Ling, for his damned face, the emperor actually did this.

Ruyi was extremely ashamed and angry, and her rationality was also taken over by anger.

Seeing the emperor so confused, she was even more relentless: "If Your Majesty is angry and wants to blame or punish me, I dare not say anything more, but Your Majesty does not take care of his own body, and I am truly heartbroken."

The emperor wanted to express his concern, but when he saw that Ruyi was still stubborn, the guilt he felt for almost bringing her down just now instantly disappeared.

"Go back and calmly think about what you did wrong today, Concubine Ling, come in and accompany me."

After saying this, he didn't want to say anything more. Without any further lingering feelings, he turned around and walked into the hall with Jinzhong's support.

Upon hearing this, Yanwan immediately stood up and followed. Just as she was about to go in, Ruyi knelt down straight.

"Your Majesty has appointed me as Empress. I do not think there is anything wrong with speaking frankly and offering advice. If Your Majesty blames me, I am willing to kneel and accept the punishment."

"If you want to kneel, then kneel down!"

Seeing that she was determined to do so, the emperor completely gave up the idea of ​​giving either of them a way out. He spoke coldly and walked towards the inner hall.

He smelled the pungent smell of alcohol on his body, and thought that he had been very considerate of her by forcing himself not to lose his temper, wearing soiled clothes, and staring at the servants' eyes and giving her a way out again and again.

Since she is so stubborn, let's just do as she wishes.

Arriving at the inner hall, Yan Wan quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the emperor's face: "It's all my fault. I didn't inform the Empress in advance, which made the Emperor unhappy. Tomorrow I will personally apologize to the Empress. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart. The Empress was only worried about your health, so her words were a little harsh..."

"Don't defend her. I think she's just looking for trouble. She's a queen, but she has no dignity at all. She doesn't have the virtues of Empress Xiaoxian, and she's not even close to your gentleness, respect, and frugality. I think she's just too comfortable being a queen and has forgotten what it's like to be a subject."

The emperor had a stern face and looked extremely ugly. After the queen made such a fuss, he had no face left as an emperor in the harem.

I really don’t know where the gentle and intelligent Qingying from the past has gone.

"That being said, the Empress's feelings for His Majesty are known to all the palace. Your Majesty, calm down. The Empress is simply concerned for His Majesty. She overstepped her bounds when she heard that His Majesty had used something containing deer blood wine. I will personally go outside to apologize and ask Her Majesty to return. Don't let Her Majesty kneel for too long; it would hurt her body and not only would it be disastrous, but it would also be disgraceful to His Majesty if any palace servants passing by saw this."

She carefully analyzed the situation and gave gentle advice. No matter how cold and hard the emperor was, he could not get angry with her.

The Emperor's voice softened a little, and he said gently, "Let's do as you say. It's amazing that you're so considerate. Even though the Queen's words were so harsh, you still considered her."
