Emperor Sheng An was filled with fear, but fortunately Lin Yiwan was alert and cautious and checked the medicine box on the spot.

Otherwise, those pills would be taken by the queen as a pregnancy-protecting drug, and the child he had worked so hard to get would be lost.

He clenched his fists and said, "Zhan Yan, how have I wronged your sister that she would do such a wicked thing?"

Zhan Yan complex said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. From the moment she committed adultery with the King of Loyalty and Bravery, she is no longer my sister. You can do whatever you want with her!"

Emperor Sheng An closed his eyes tightly. He knew better than anyone that Concubine Zhan could not be dealt with easily, and Zhan Yan could not get away with it. Those imperial censors had long been dissatisfied with Zhan Yan's favor with the emperor.

He held military power, and who knows how many people were jealous of him.

Whenever his sister made a big mistake, he would be the first to be implicated.

He had to keep this matter secret, not to fight the Imperial Concubine, but to fight Yan.

He said in a deep voice, "Come here, banish Imperial Concubine Zhan to the cold palace. No one is allowed to visit her without my order. Also, remove all the servants around her, leaving only one steward nanny!"

In order to fight against Yan, he didn't even remove the title of imperial concubine.

He was only afraid that the court would think that the Zhan family had lost power and that Zhan Yan would suffer injustice.

Zhan Yan's expression was extremely complicated. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you really don't need to worry about me!"

Emperor Sheng An patted his shoulder and said, "You are my brother who has been through thick and thin with me. I care about you!"

Zhan Yan understood very well that Emperor Sheng An cared about him because of his ability to lead the army in battle, and also because of his selfless life-saving grace.

Even so, he was moved!

He bowed without hesitation: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Zhan was quietly sent to the cold palace, and she was so angry that she cried and wanted to commit suicide.

However, the cold palace was different from other places. Even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, the old maids guarding it would not care.

Concubine Zhan had no choice but to grab the old nanny's hand and said, "Go find the emperor and tell him that if he doesn't come to see me, I will hang myself!"

The old nanny pried open her fingers one by one with a complicated expression: "My Lady, the Emperor already knows about your affair with Prince Zhongyong. The only reason he didn't punish you was because he cared about Marquis Zhan Yi's reputation!"

She thought that after saying this, Concubine Zhan would feel guilty and remorseful.

After all, she was pregnant with a child conceived out of wedlock!

Unexpectedly, she was only stunned for a moment, and then she angrily retorted: "What can I do wrong? If he can make me pregnant, why would I ask the King of Loyalty and Bravery to borrow his sperm? Aren't they brothers? After all, we are both descendants of the Mo family!"

The old nanny was stunned. She had always known that Concubine Zhan was arrogant and domineering, but shouldn't she at least have the minimum of propriety and integrity?

How much courage does she have to speak of having an affair with someone as if it were a matter of course?

If the emperor prevents her from having children, will she go to his brother?

If this were the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

What’s more important is that she doesn’t repent.

She said disappointedly, "My Lady, I really cannot understand your point of view. It's already dark, you should go to bed!"

Concubine Zhan was immediately enraged. She screamed and roared, "How can I rest? There's not even a clean blanket. Everything is dirty. I'm the Emperor's most beloved concubine. How could you let me suffer such injustice?"

The old lady ignored her and turned around and walked out quickly.

When she closed the door, she saw the bright yellow figure standing at the door.

She froze with fear and quickly knelt down to salute: "Your servant greets the emperor!"

There was a murderous glint in Emperor Sheng An's eyes. It was true that he endured the temporary humiliation for the sake of Zhan Yan.

But that doesn't mean he intends to let Concubine Zhan go!

He had devoted his love to this woman.

She is lively and bright, unlike other noble ladies who are reserved and well-mannered.

Especially when the two of them are alone, she is even more varied.

He was fascinated by her softness and thoughtfulness.

He knew that she longed to have a child, and he had given her countless chances.

However, he did not expect that he was being plotted against.

He originally thought that since the queen was pregnant, it would be her turn next, but she dealt him a heavy blow.

What he hates most in his life is betrayal!

He took a deep breath and said, "Li Delu, bring the sweet soup for the imperial concubine!"

The old nanny was frightened to death, and she subconsciously looked at Emperor Sheng An with a nervous look.

He whispered, "She won't die immediately. First her hair turned white, and then she became older and older. Isn't she the one who loves beauty the most? I think she can't stand this torture!"

The old nanny quickly said, "As you command, I will definitely feed this bowl of sweet soup to the imperial concubine!"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes were unusually gentle: "If she doesn't drink, you drink!"

Li Delu didn't hesitate any longer and went straight into the room with the sweet soup.

Concubine Zhan continued to curse, cursing Zhan Yan for ignoring her, calling Lin Yiwan a vixen, and cursing the emperor for being ruthless and ungrateful for locking her up in the cold palace.

He knew clearly that she was afraid of the dark and even more afraid of dirt!

When she suddenly saw Li Delu enter the room, her face was immediately filled with joy.

She quickly rushed over and asked anxiously, "Eunuch Li, did the emperor send you to take me back? I knew he couldn't bear to leave me. He was just angry with me for a moment and now he can't bear to let me suffer!"

Li Delu's face was cold and gloomy. He held up the food box in his hand and said, "Your Highness, I'm here to bring you some sweet soup!"

Concubine Zhan was stunned. Why was she being given sweet soup for no reason?

Did the emperor want to poison her quietly?

This is too cruel!

She immediately raised her foot to kick over the food box, but the old nanny held her hands and feet.

She cursed loudly, "You bunch of dogs and slaves, each of you has bad intentions. I won't drink the sweet soup, I want to see the emperor, I will go and severely sue you and have you torn into pieces by five horses!"

Li Delu angrily shouted, "Madame Liu, what are you still standing there for? Quickly pour the sweet soup into her mouth!"

Nanny Liu took some silk and tied Concubine Zhan's hands and feet, then brought the sweet soup to her.

Concubine Zhan gritted her teeth and said, "Even if the emperor won't make the decision for me, I still have my elder brother. He won't stand by and watch his sister get bullied!"

Li Delu prodded her, "Marquis Zhan Yi just went to the Queen's Palace to pick up his wife. Her pregnancy is very safe. The Imperial Concubine must be very happy, right?"

Concubine Zhan's eyes were red with anger. She was happy, but she was not happy at all!

Why is it that when both of them are pregnant, the empress is treated like a treasure by the emperor, while she is sent to the cold palace?

Even if she was pregnant with King Chungyong's child, she was still the emperor's concubine after all. Didn't he always say that he loved her? How could he not tolerate the little mistake she made?
