A moment later, she fell into a deep sleep.

After making sure she was asleep, Lin Yiwan tiptoed out.

At this time, Emperor Sheng An was standing outside, his face full of worry and anxiety.

He asked anxiously, "How is the Queen? Has she been frightened and had a miscarriage?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her voice and replied, "Shh, she just fell asleep. Your Majesty, let's go out and talk!"

When the two of them arrived under the eaves outside the palace, Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "The Queen is fine at the moment. But did the Emperor find out anything from Concubine Ying?"

Emperor Sheng An shook his head: "No, she died after taking poison. But even if she didn't say it, I would have guessed it. It must be the Luo family who was behind it!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why is the emperor so sure?"

Emperor Sheng An glared at her, "Do you think I'm stupid? The Empress is leaving the palace tomorrow to pay respects to Huo Jun'er, and tonight, she almost had a miscarriage. Isn't it obvious that he doesn't want her to go?"

He paused and spoke again, "I just asked Li Delu to check the background of Concubine Ying, and only then did I discover that she is actually a concubine of the Huo family, and her maiden name is Huo Ying'er!"

A complicated expression flashed across Lin Yiwan's face. The emperor didn't even know where the concubines in the palace came from. He was really amazing.

Emperor Sheng An immediately understood what she meant. He forced himself to argue, "I am busy with countless affairs every day, and my thoughts are completely focused on the Empress. How could I possibly remember the affairs of other concubines?"

Lin Yiwan quickly lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand your difficulties!"

Emperor Sheng An didn't know whether she really understood or was just pretending, he didn't care about that.

He urged in a serious tone, "Now I can't persuade the Queen to go and pay tribute to Huo Jun'er. You must protect her well tomorrow and don't let her get into any trouble. Do you understand?"

Lin Yiwan suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure, but she also understood that if she didn't go, the Queen would be heartbroken and the twins would still be lost.

What is more important is that there is no way to stop Luo Yan from entering the palace, otherwise the emperor will be in danger.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Grandfather and I will do our utmost to protect the Empress and prevent her from suffering any harm!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded and said, "Of course I trust you, but just in case, I will have secret guards accompany you for protection!"

Lin Yiwan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After dawn, the Queen took Concubine Rong and Lin Yiwan out of the palace and headed to Luo Mansion.

At this time, Madam Luo and her people were standing at the door to greet them. Although she had a respectful smile on her face, it could be seen that the smile did not reach her eyes.

When Lady Ying didn't send any news last night, she knew her plan had failed.

She barely slept the entire night, but still couldn't figure out how to stop the Queen from going to the Luo family's ancestral tomb.

Now seeing the queen coming in her gorgeous attire, she felt a biting chill rising from head to toe.

She bowed respectfully and said, "I have prepared all the supplies for the worship. We can set off now!"

The Queen said calmly, "Madam Lao Luo is here, so don't dawdle any longer and get on the carriage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Luo Feng hurried over. He knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Queen!"

A hint of doubt suddenly flashed across the queen's face. Seeing his face that was similar to Huo Jun'er, she couldn't distance herself from him after all.

She spoke quickly: "Didn't Feng'er go to the Imperial College to study? Get up quickly, stop kneeling on the ground!"

Luo Feng answered without hesitation: "Feng'er requests the Queen not to go to pay homage to my mother. Your health is precious now, and the road to the Luo family's ancestral tomb is bumpy. If you make the slightest mistake, my mother in the netherworld will surely be in great pain!"

The smile on the queen's face gradually disappeared, and she said sarcastically: "Luo Feng, are you here to stop me?"

Luo Feng quickly explained: "Feng'er dare not, Feng'er is just worried about the Queen's health. The Queen and my mother have a deep sisterly bond, and you certainly don't want her to have trouble sleeping in the afterlife, right?"

The Queen interrupted without hesitation, "It is precisely to let her sleep peacefully that I am going to pay my respects to her. You know, she has been appearing in my dreams recently, saying that she is very cold and has no shelter!"

Luo Feng was shocked and argued, "That's impossible. I personally watched as my mother's tomb was built. It's clearly very solid, and even the coffin is of the finest quality. How could she still cry to the Empress in her dreams?"

The Queen gave him a deep look and said, "Luo Feng, you can only know what your mother's grave is like by going there. No one can stop me from going there, not even if you are her biological son!"

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and quickly walked into the carriage.

Madam Luo's expression suddenly changed. She quickly stepped forward to help Luo Feng up and said, "Feng'er, let's hurry up and follow. No matter what, let's fulfill the Queen's wish first!"

Luo Feng nodded bitterly: "Okay, thank you for your help!"

After Madam Luo and the nanny got into the carriage, she was so angry that she smashed a tea bowl.

She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Why is that woman so stubborn?"

The nanny quickly covered her mouth and said, "Madam, please be careful with your words. The Queen's carriage is just ahead. We must not let her hear what we are doing inside!"

Madam Luo pulled her hand away and said, "Why on earth did she insist on going to worship Huo Jun'er? I don't believe she was really possessed by a dream!"

The nanny frowned and pondered, "It's strange. Why don't you go to worship earlier or later, but choose the time when the eldest lady is about to enter the palace as a concubine?"

Madam Luo gnashed her teeth in hatred: "Humph, she is just jealous of our Yan'er entering the palace to serve the Emperor. She feels her position is threatened. Such a jealous woman is not worthy of being the Queen Mother of the country!"

The nanny reminded: "Madam, you must be more rational. Be strong and perfunctory about this matter and it will be over. No matter what, she can't stop our eldest daughter from entering the palace!"

Madam Luo pinched her fingers vigorously and said, "Of course I will be rational. Doesn't she want to worship Huo Jun'er? Then let her do it!"

The nanny nodded and reached out to take a new cup and poured her a bowl of hot tea.

About half an hour later, they finally arrived at the Luo family's ancestral tomb.

Madam Luo brought the Queen to Huo Jun'er's grave and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, my sister is buried here!"

The Queen's eyes immediately turned red, and she murmured in a trembling voice: "Jun'er, I'm here to visit you. I'm sorry that I couldn't visit you when you were suffering from illness!"

Mrs. Luo ordered someone to bring a handkerchief and wiped the dust off the tombstone with her own hands.

The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Luo, please go down first. I want to talk to Jun'er!"

The three words "Xiao Luoshi" deeply hurt Mrs. Luo's heart, and her face turned pale and ugly in an instant.

The Queen was not belittling her, but indirectly belittling Luo Yan's status.
