Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Everyone's attention turned to Shen Muxue, who was standing silently by the side.

She sighed helplessly and replied, "Queen Dowager, you are mistaken. Since entering the palace, I have known nothing of the past events. How could I possibly force the Queen to act like this? Besides, His Majesty has always shown his respect for you clearly. Today's ceremony is enough to show how much he cares for you."

The past is long gone, and groundless arguments will only make things more ridiculous.

Especially the empress dowager who once enjoyed great glory, she could not lose face at this moment.

She quickly regained her composure and turned to the Queen, saying sternly, "You are talking nonsense. From today on, follow me in chanting sutras and praying for blessings. I will remember the Emperor's filial piety in my heart."

However, such a proposal was obviously unacceptable to the Queen. If she followed the Queen Mother out of the palace, she would surely die, and the blame would undoubtedly fall on Shen Muxue.

Shen Muxue quickly cast a suggestive glance towards the abbot, who slowly began, "The Buddha's stupa in my humble temple is in need of a devout guardian. Seeing that the queen has come to her senses and is wholeheartedly devoted to her faith, I wonder if you would be willing to follow me into the nunnery for a period of quiet meditation?"

Staying in the palace was also full of dangers for the queen.

If she continued to be imprisoned, the Empress Dowager would certainly find ways to fabricate a story about the Emperor favoring a concubine and plotting against his wife. If she tragically died, it would only further prove that she was framed.

For this reason, she had already conspired with the abbot to plan a countermeasure beforehand - to arrange for the queen to stay in the nunnery to avoid disaster.

This not only keeps them away from trouble, but also allows them to live the rest of their lives in peace.

The Empress Dowager's reputation was damaged by this. Seeing the important person under her control escape, her eyes became even more vicious: "Is the Imperial Concubine really doing this for the Phoenix Coronet? When do you plan to kill me too?"

He is indeed an old fox who has seen countless people.

Once this question was raised, it was equivalent to cutting off Shen Muxue's path to becoming the queen in the future.

Unless he comes clean and admits his ambitions now.

At the same time, any action unfavorable to the Queen Mother would be considered a means of seizing power.

But in fact, this clever woman did not take the throne seriously at all, and would not easily hurt the elderly man.

On the contrary, she hopes to see the other person lose all power and dignity and spend the rest of his life in misery.

"I swear I will never compete for the position of empress, and I even vow to never ask about it again. As for your later years, Your Majesty and I will serve you wholeheartedly, allowing your children and grandchildren to enjoy the joys of family life."

She replied, with a hint of confrontation in her words.

This is not only a clarification of his own innocent position, but also a warning to the prince's safety.

If one accidentally offends the imperial concubine, unpredictable risks may arise.

This ritual, which was intended to pray for blessings, was finally hastily concluded, and life returned to normal as the queen moved into the nunnery.

However, the various rumors about a series of recent events in the palace have not subsided.

Some people believed that it was this seemingly kind old grandmother who spread malicious rumors, causing the current emperor to bear a heavy burden. The good image he had carefully maintained in the past also collapsed in an instant. Many people who had previously misunderstood the emperor began to suspect that the truth was something else.

There is also another group of people who tend to believe that the mastermind behind this is actually a woman who has coveted the throne of the Supreme for many years, in order to clear the obstacles and reach the top...

However, the drama they had been looking forward to for a long time never happened.

Time passed by little by little, and when everyone was about to forget about this incident, the empress dowager who had been silent for a long time finally spoke again and summoned Shen Lingwei alone.

Faced with questioning, the young daughter-in-law could only quietly admit her mistake: "It is all because I am stupid and unable to help. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The nightmares she had suffered for several months had caused the Queen Mother's temperament to change drastically. Her pale cheeks often had a strange blush, and she looked intimidating, as if she had taken some special medicine.

"Anping is so unlucky to have married such a useless woman!"

Hearing this, the girl who had to stand while being trained despite being pregnant could not help but lower her head...

"Take this string of Buddhist beads and be sure to hand it over to Miss Shen in person. If you make any more mistakes, you will go live with the Queen."

Shen Lingwei took the Buddhist beads and slowly moved towards the Shenxiu Hall. The maid following her hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Princess, these Buddhist beads seem to have an ominous aura. Would you like to let me take care of them for you?"

Hearing this, Shen Lingwei threw the Buddhist beads away.

Why was she so careless? Since the Queen Mother intended her to hand over the Buddhist beads to Shen Muxue, there must be a secret behind it. She actually carried it with her personally and almost suffered the consequences.

After seeing the maid carefully pick up the beads, Shen Lingwei ordered the maid to stand away from her.

How can I deliver the Buddhist beads to Shen Muxue without making any noise?

She thought about it all night and finally came up with a solution that she thought was good.

The next day, Nanny Yu presented a visiting card to Shen Muxue who had just gotten up.

"Master, the eldest lady requests an audience."

This is news.

Although the eldest lady of the Shen family had visited Shen Lingwei many times before, she had never taken the initiative to visit Shen Muxue. What was the reason this time?

Due to the unfortunate miscarriage not long ago, the emperor is particularly concerned about Shen Muxue's safety. Even if Shen Lingwei wants to visit her on weekdays, she needs to obtain approval from the imperial edict, and there will be several layers of palace people closely guarding her just in case.

Shen Muxue glanced at the invitation in her hand and then handed it back to Nanny Yu.

"Leave it to the Emperor to decide."

In recent months, the emperor has protected his concubines to an unprecedented level, fearing that any accident would endanger the baby in his beloved concubine's belly.

In the initial stage, every night a eunuch would recount every little thing that happened during the day to Shen Muxue so that the emperor could promptly discover and correct any behavior patterns he considered inappropriate.

This excessive attention made Shen Muxue feel very depressed. Although she understood her husband's feelings, such surveillance did make her feel heavy.

Until one day she could not help but complain: "Your Majesty has ignored my feelings in order to protect my unborn child."

Although he no longer directly intervenes in daily affairs from then on, any relevant matters will still be reported to him for review in detail.

After a long time, Shen Muxue was helpless. After all, the death of her first child had a profound impact on her.

When the news of Shen Muxue's mother came, the emperor who was sitting in the imperial study fell into a deep struggle: on the one hand, he really didn't want Shen Muxue to contact anyone during such a sensitive period; on the other hand, his overly cautious approach continued to arouse the other party's resistance.

After weighing the pros and cons several times, the emperor made careful security arrangements through the eunuch Xiao Linzi before allowing the eldest lady of the Shen family and Shen Lingwei to enter.
