The queen was still in the dark and was a little confused when she was helped out by the palace maid.
She didn't understand what kind of trouble Chu Xiuxiu and Cheng Lingzhi could cause after just moving into Zhan Yihou's mansion?
She even resented Zhan Yan's lawlessness.
She scolded him without any reason: "Zhan Yan, you dare to come to Weiyang Palace and act wildly? Who gave you the right?"
Zhan Yan slowly said, "Does the Queen recognize this girl?"
The Queen frowned as she looked at the disheveled Cheng Lingzhi. "How could I not recognize her? Didn't she move into your Zhan Yihou residence with Chu Xiuxiu?"
Zhan Yan said in a deep voice, "This woman deliberately destroyed the pavilion and nearly killed my children. How does the Queen think she should be dealt with?"
The queen was shocked when she heard this. How could Cheng Lingzhi be so brave?
She subconsciously asked, "How are the children now?"
Zhan Yan replied: "Thanks to the rescue of my adopted daughter Zhan Qingning, they are all fine, except for my adopted daughter who is seriously injured and unconscious!"
A hint of disappointment flashed in the queen's eyes. It would be okay?
At the very least, his arms and legs should be broken, so that Lin Yiwan can feel his own pain.
She said nonchalantly, "Isn't it true that no one was killed? You can deal with Cheng Lingzhi as you please in the mansion. Why did you have to bring her to me?"
Zhan Yan said sarcastically, "She was sent to the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi by the Empress. I will give you an explanation!"
The Queen glanced at him and said, "Alright, since you sent her here, I will deal with her myself. You may leave now!"
Not only did Zhan Yan not leave, he even took a step forward.
He ordered Yinghun: "Beat him with a stick right at the gate of Weiyang Palace. Don't bother the Empress anymore!"
"Yes!" Yinghun answered loudly, threw Cheng Lingzhi to the ground, raised the board and hit her hard.
"Ah!" Cheng Lingzhi let out a shrill scream.
She pleaded with the Queen, "Your Majesty, help me! I am going to the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion on your orders!"
The queen was terrified. She knew Zhan Yan was crazy, but she didn't expect that he would dare to beat a living person to death at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
She sternly accused: "Zhan Yan, are you trying to rebel? This is Weiyang Palace, not a place for you to kill people at will!"
Zhan Yan explained nonchalantly, "Don't be upset, your Majesty. I'm just giving you an explanation so that you don't forget it later and send people to Zhan Yihou's mansion to cause trouble again!"
The queen's face turned pale and ugly. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she heard Zhan Yan say, "Your Majesty, if you hide back in the palace, I will have no choice but to drag her inside and beat her. You have to watch!"
The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You, you, you are so outrageous!"
Zhan Yan turned a deaf ear, his eyes becoming increasingly cold and frightening.
The queen felt like she was trapped in purgatory. Cheng Lingzhi's screams and cries continued to fill her ears. "My queen, save me! It hurts so much! I'm going to be beaten to death! What have I done wrong? It's all because of you!"
The queen tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and watched Cheng Lingzhi die in front of her.
Before she died, her eyes were wide open.
She looked at the queen, as if asking, why didn't you save me?
The queen felt a tightness in her heart and could no longer bear the stimulation. She closed her eyes and fainted.
Zhan Yan ignored her, ordered his men to throw the body at the gate of Weiyang Palace, and turned around and left quickly.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Sheng An was pacing back and forth with a complicated expression.
Zhan Yan bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I just did something rash and frightened the Empress. Please punish me!"
Emperor Sheng An didn't let him get up, but asked quietly, "Have you calmed down?"
Zhan Yan replied, "Your Majesty should be well aware that the children are our and Wanwan's weak spot. The Queen shouldn't target them!"
Emperor Sheng An subconsciously explained: "That may not be what the Queen meant!"
Zhan Yan spoke quickly, "She was the one who stuffed Cheng Lingzhi and Chu Xiuxiu into the Marquis' Mansion. I tacitly agree that no matter how evil the two of them did, they were all instructed by the Empress!"
Emperor Sheng An frowned and was silent for a moment before he said, "Get up. Even if this matter is over, the Queen has learned her lesson. Please persuade Wanwan not to pursue it further!"
Zhan Yan nodded: "I will persuade you!"
Over there, Zhan Qingning in Zhan Yihou's mansion has been in a coma, and the queen is not doing well either.
She was probably frightened and developed a high fever at night.
She kept mumbling, "I didn't hurt you, why are you seeking revenge on me? Go away, don't bother me, just go away!"
She screamed hysterically and couldn't even swallow the fever-reducing medicine.
The palace servants had no choice but to report to Emperor Sheng An and let him make the decision.
Emperor Sheng An said in a deep voice: "The Queen has always been weak, and now that she is so ill, she no longer needs to be in charge of the affairs of the inner palace. Let the new Imperial Concubine Yao handle it!"
The palace servant's face suddenly changed. He originally thought that the emperor would go to visit the queen, but he didn't expect that not only did he not go, he even deprived her of her rights.
Is this going to completely ignore the Queen?
He didn't dare to think too much about it and hurried back to Weiyang Palace.
When the queen regained consciousness, it was already the next day.
She opened her mouth, but found that no sound came out of her throat.
Fortunately, Chu Xiuxiu brought her some warm water in time, which made her feel a little better.
She asked in a hoarse voice: "Xiu Xiu, how long have I been unconscious?"
Chu Xiuxiu replied, "It's been a day and a night, Queen, are you feeling better now?"
The queen frowned. She still felt weak and her head was dizzy.
She gritted her teeth and said, "It's all Zhan Yan's fault. He was so arrogant that he dared to beat Cheng Lingzhi to death in front of my Weiyang Palace. The emperor must have punished him, right?"
Chu Xiuxiu looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
The Queen frowned and urged, "Why are you hesitating? Just tell me whether there will be punishment or not!"
Chu Xiuxiu had no choice but to speak: "Not only did they not punish him, they even sent people to the Zhan Yihou Mansion to give him a lot of rewards, saying that it was compensation for Zhan Qingning!"
The Queen's pupils contracted violently. Why would the Emperor do this?
Shouldn't he help her vent her anger and blame Zhan Yan?
She suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Chu Xiuxiu, "Did the emperor come to Weiyang Palace during the time I was unconscious?"
Chu Xiuxiu spoke subconsciously: "I don't know, I just entered the palace this morning!"
The queen called the palace maids to question her again, and finally got an answer that made her extremely disappointed.
She murmured bitterly, "The Emperor has a cruel heart. In his eyes, this first wife of mine is not as important as the adopted daughter of Zhan Yan!"
Chu Xiuxiu comforted her: "Empress, the Emperor may have a hidden reason. After all, Marquis Zhan Yi is extremely powerful, and he has Prince Li as his support. He has no choice but to make such an appeasement. You have to understand him!"
