She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you asked for the amulet for me, why didn't you deliver it to me personally? Why did you use someone else to do it? Are you so estranged from me?"

The visitor was stunned. He asked in astonishment, "What, what amulet?"

***'s expression suddenly changed. She quickly took out the amulet and placed it in front of him: "Isn't this the one you asked for for me and my child at the Buddhist temple?"

The visitor shook his head vigorously: "No, I dare not take credit for it!"

*** subconsciously looked at Lin Yiwan, and they both said in unison: "There's something wrong with Aunt Chang!"

Lin Yiwan sent people to the princess's mansion to capture Nanny Chang, but as expected, they saw that she had turned into a corpse.

*** was so angry that her whole body was shaking violently. She never expected that someone would reach into her princess palace.

That was Nanny Chang, the person she trusted the most!

She said dejectedly, "Wanwan, I really can't figure out who wants to harm me!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "I let you get angry early and hold me back, so that if something happens to the Queen, no one will be able to save the Second Prince!"

*** was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She murmured in fear, "Wanwan, I'm sorry. It's my fault that you and your brother are at odds!"

Lin Yiwan held her hand and comforted her: "I don't blame you. In this world, no one can predict danger before it happens. When the time comes, we can only take it one step at a time!"

*** pondered: "But the Queen must be very sad!"

Lin Yiwan could understand her, but she could not accept her taking her anger out on others.

At this time, Zi'er's call came from outside: "Madam, Princess Youyi from the palace is here. She said she wants to see you for something important!"

When Lin Yiwan let her in, she pleaded with red eyes, "Aunt Wan, can you go see Mother? She's refusing to eat or drink, and even Mother can't persuade her!"

***'s face turned pale with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Queen is too stubborn. Who wouldn't feel bad when something happens to the Second Prince? As a mother, the most important thing she should do is to be strong and take good care of him!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly, "The Queen suffered a series of setbacks, so naturally she had a mental breakdown. More importantly, she couldn't forgive her own negligence!"

Youyi nodded: "Aunt Wan is right. Mother told me the same thing. She also entrusted my younger brothers Lin and Yu to me and asked me to pay more attention to them in the future. I was very scared, so I asked Youyi to come to the Li Palace for help!"

*** was the first to react. She hurriedly urged, "Wanwan, hurry up, have someone carry me into the palace! The Queen might do something stupid!"

Lin Yiwan did not dare to delay and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

Several people rushed to the palace. Before they even reached Weiyang Palace, they heard Concubine Rong's heartbreaking cries from there: "Sister, please open the palace door and let me in. Don't be silly, everything will be fine!"

Emperor Sheng An, who had also arrived, had a grim expression on his face. He strode over and asked, "Fei Rong, how long has the Empress been alone in the palace?"

Concubine Rong replied anxiously, "It's been tea time. She said she wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made myself. I didn't want to leave her at first, but I couldn't stand her constant pleas, so I went to the imperial kitchen. But she immediately drove everyone out and locked the palace door tightly, not letting anyone in!"

Emperor Sheng An was shocked and angry. He kicked the door hard and said, "Queen, please open the door quickly! Are you really going to piss me off to death?"

The palace door was very sturdy and did not move at all even after Emperor Sheng An kicked it several times.

Zhan Yan quickly spoke up: "Your Majesty, kicking it like this is not a solution. We have no choice but to use logs to break the door!"

Emperor Sheng An urged impatiently: "Break it, break it for me quickly!"

Soon, the Royal Guards came with logs.

As everyone worked together, the entire gate of the Weiyang Palace collapsed with a loud bang.

Emperor Sheng An ignored the dust and ran towards the inner hall, but his pupils contracted violently at the scene before him.

I saw the queen swaying back and forth above my head!

He quickly grabbed her feet and shouted, "Queen, you are so bold! How dare you leave me to die alone? Even if you don't want me, you also don't care about Lin'er and Yu'er."

Zhan Yan still had some sense left, and immediately used his sword to cut the rope hanging on the beam.

The Queen and Emperor Sheng'an fell to the ground, already dead.

Emperor Sheng An burst into tears, "Wan Wan, please save her, please save her! She just left without caring about my life or death. How could she do this? She is so cruel!"

Lin Yiwan quickly rescued the queen. Noticing that her heart was still beating weakly, she crossed her hands and pressed on her heart.

After several breaths, the queen finally let out a long breath and suddenly opened her eyes.

She stared at everyone in a daze, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did you save me? It's my fault, it's all my fault. I want to die, why do you stop me?"

Emperor Sheng An's vision darkened. He raised his hand and grasped the empress's slender chin, scolding her, "Did you see the wound on my arm? You stabbed me with your own hands. In this world, I am the most respected person. Who can hurt me in the slightest?"

The queen smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, you can be relieved now. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I was careless and hurt Yu'er. I deserve to die!"

Before Emperor Sheng An could say anything, Lin Yiwan spoke up, "Even if the Queen wants to die, she should first find out who murdered Yu'er!"

The Queen looked at her in astonishment: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yiwan said coldly, "What I mean is that the real murderer who murdered Yu'er is hiding in the harem. If you are unwilling to catch him, then no one else can catch him, because you are the master of the harem!"

Scarlet fire of hatred suddenly ignited in the queen's eyes. Yes, the murderer has not been caught yet, so what right does she have to die?

She is Yu'er's mother, and she wants to avenge him!

She forced herself to cheer up and said in a trembling voice, "Wanwan, I'm sorry. I took my anger out on you before. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but you have to take care of Yu'er. He's a poor child. He's so badly injured now. He should call you Aunt Wan!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I won't stand idly by. Don't worry, my grandfather and I will do our best to save him!"

The Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Emperor Sheng An again and said, "I have realized my mistake and will never dare to commit suicide again!"

Emperor Sheng An said nothing more, turned around and left quickly.

He knew better than anyone that he and the Queen could never go back to the way they were before.

Zhan Yan followed Emperor Sheng'an to the imperial study, leaving Lin Yiwan to treat the bruises on the queen's neck.

The queen's tears fell, and the bloody marks on her lips were extremely horrifying.

She whispered, "Wanwan, do you look down on me? As the queen of a country, you're actually playing this suicidal game?"

Lin Yiwan knew the Queen's temperament and character. She was timid and cowardly, but she also had her own stubbornness.

This time she was forced into a desperate situation. She must have suffered a huge blow and could no longer bear it.
