The Queen retorted in dissatisfaction: "I understand him, but who will understand me? Zhan Yan threw my face on the ground and stepped on it. If this gets out, who will still respect me as the Queen?"

Chu Xiuxiu thought to herself, what else can you do to Zhan Yan?

Cheng Lingzhi just died. Do you still want to provoke him?

But on the surface, she didn't dare to say a word.

The Queen sulked for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go check on the eldest and second princes. I wonder if they've been frightened!"

However, when she brought people to the prince's palace, she was turned away.

The leading old maid spoke first: "Reporting to the Queen, we servants have received the Emperor's order that you are not allowed to set foot in the Prince's Palace again!"

The queen's expression suddenly changed, and an uncontrollable anger instantly rushed to the top of her head.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she raised her hand and slapped the old lady in the face. She angrily scolded, "You bitch, you have such a guts! I'm here to see my own son, and you're the one who stops me?"

The old maid quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am following the emperor's orders. Please forgive me!"

The queen angrily ordered: "Come, drag this slave away!"

The people behind her stepped forward, but were stopped by several guards outside the prince's palace.

The Queen asked in disbelief, "Why? Even I can't handle a lowly maid?"

The guards didn't answer, but a cold and dissatisfied voice came from behind: "Queen, what are you making a fuss about again?"

The queen turned around suddenly and saw the majestic Emperor Sheng An striding towards her, accompanied by a beautiful woman in apricot-yellow brocade.

She remembered that it was one of the concubines.

Judging from her current performance, she must have been promoted.

It looks like a concubine's position!

As expected, the woman stepped forward first and saluted: "My sister Chen Xiyao greets the Queen!"

Emperor Sheng An also spoke up: "I have already appointed her as Imperial Concubine Yao. From today on, all matters concerning the harem will be handled by her!"

The queen was struck by lightning. She had just woken up from a coma after suffering injustice. Not only did he not comfort her, but he even stabbed her in the back and took away all the power in her hands. He was so heartless!

Forget it, I don’t want the power to manage the harem!

After all, she still has a son!

That is her greatest reliance!

Thinking of this, she said coldly: "No matter who is in charge of the affairs of the harem, they cannot stop me from seeing Ling'er and Yu'er. Your Majesty, please make them move aside!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted in a deep voice: "Empress, the two children are being well-raised in the Prince's Palace. Your current appearance will only scare them. Remember my words, you are not allowed to come near here again!"

The Queen roared angrily, "What do I look like? I am their mother, their mother. Why can't I see them?"

Emperor Sheng'an ignored her, and instead Concubine Yao took out a bronze mirror from her sleeve.

She whispered, "Sister Queen, look at yourself first!"

The queen looked closely and saw that her face was as pale as paper, especially the dark circles under her eyes, which made her look even more eerie and terrifying.

Maybe it was because she was in a trance, but she actually saw Cheng Lingzhi's bloody face in the bronze mirror.

She was so frightened that her soul flew out of her body. She threw the bronze mirror to the ground and said, "Go to hell! Why do you have to pester me? Go to hell!"

Even though the bronze mirror was smashed into pieces, she didn't feel relieved and even stomped on it hard.

Emperor Sheng An was extremely disappointed. The queen had become extremely hysterical and jealous, making her unrecognizable.

Concubine Yao went forward to comfort her, but she pushed her away forcefully.

She cursed in disgust: "Bitch, don't think I don't know what you are planning. You want to take my children away and then seize the position of Queen. You dream. As long as I am alive, no one can step on my head!"

Imperial Concubine Yao argued in fear: "Your Majesty, I really don't have such thoughts. I just want to share the emperor's worries, and I have never thought of taking away what belongs to you!"

The queen smiled grimly, and when she was not prepared, she raised her foot and hit her abdomen hard.

Concubine Yao stepped back in fear, and saw Emperor Sheng An grab the empress's arm, throw her into the arms of the old nanny, and ask, "Are you crazy enough?"

The Queen covered her face and cried bitterly: "I want to see my son, Your Majesty, you can't be so cruel. Is it just because I angered Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan? In your heart, are they more important than me?"

Emperor Sheng An felt extremely anxious. Even up to this point, the empress still had no idea where she had gone wrong.

Because of her, Li Wangfu had a rift with him.

Why does she have to be so stubborn?

He said calmly, "Queen, as long as you stay quietly in Weiyang Palace, nothing will change. The children will still call you Mother, and you will still be my first wife!"

The queen was shocked. Was the emperor threatening her?

If she makes trouble again, you will destroy her?

No, she couldn't tolerate this happening.

She wanted to see Lin Yiwan and ask for her forgiveness, so that everything could return to normal.

She quietly suppressed her anger and dared not contradict the emperor again.

After Imperial Concubine Yao and Emperor Sheng An left, she quickly instructed Chu Xiuxiu, "Go out of the palace and find Lin Yiwan. Tell her that I have something urgent to see her about, and ask her to come as soon as possible!"

Chu Xiuxiu nodded: "Don't worry, Queen, she will definitely not dare to disobey your orders!"

The Queen was not so optimistic, but she had to see Lin Yiwan!

However, she waited for three days but did not see her.

She wanted to send someone to inquire, but was told that there was no way to leave Weiyang Palace.

It was not until this moment that the queen realized that she was under house arrest.

She subconsciously asked anxiously, "Can't Chu Xiuxiu come to Weiyang Palace anymore?"

The palace attendant shook her head: "The Imperial Concubine said that the Empress needs to recuperate and no one is allowed to disturb her. If there is really an emergency, report it to her first, and she will come to you and tell you!"

An overwhelming feeling of powerlessness instantly swept over the queen. She turned her head to look at the huge Weiyang Palace and felt that it was a huge cage that wanted to swallow her completely.

She tightly grasped the palace attendant's wrist and ordered, "If they can't get in, then take me and sneak out. I remember there's a dog hole in the cold palace that we can use to get out!"

The palace attendant turned pale with fear. He shook his head in panic, "Your Majesty, how can you, with such a noble body, go through a dog hole? You absolutely cannot do that!"

The Queen angrily rebuked, "Why not? If I can't see Lin Yiwan, I will be trapped in this Weiyang Palace for the rest of my life. Now, only she can help me escape this miserable situation!"

The palace maid's expression was complicated and ugly. He couldn't help but whispered a reminder: "Empress, if you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
