The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

Seeing this, Yun Shang knew that it was difficult to escape, so she had no choice but to follow Yue Fei forward with great helplessness and trepidation, approaching the pot of peony flowers that were blooming brilliantly and examining them carefully.

Concubine Yue bent down slightly with a graceful posture, stretched out her slender hands and gently picked a bright red peony flower that was gorgeous and tempting.

She held it in her hand, sniffing its fragrance, a look of unconcealable pride on her face, and said in a delicate voice, "Such a beautiful scene reminds me of a wonderful poem."

Lin Zhiyi, standing nearby, understood what she meant. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a gentle and moving smile forming. She softly echoed, "I'm sure Concubine Yue is thinking of the line 'Only the peony is the true national beauty; its bloom moves the capital.'"

Before he finished speaking, a clear and slightly majestic female voice suddenly came from the door of Lanyue Pavilion.

The voice seemed to have an invisible sense of oppression. Just by hearing it, one could tell that the person coming was definitely not an ordinary person.

"The Moon Concubine's poems are truly exquisite."

As the words fell, the door curtain slowly opened to both sides. Then, the queen's graceful and elegant figure appeared before everyone.

She was dressed in a bright and dazzling bright yellow queen's dress, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she walked into the house with an elegant and leisurely gait.

The Queen's beautiful eyes wandered, and finally landed on Concubine Yue. With a faint smile, she continued, "The beauty beneath the moon's breathtaking dance has indeed long been renowned throughout the capital, commanding immense admiration. However, whether she truly qualifies as a national beauty remains to be seen."

For some reason, when the queen stepped into the Lanyue Pavilion, Yun Shang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart, as if this noble figure had arrived like a savior.

When everyone present saw the Queen arrive, they all hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty, may Her Majesty live a thousand years!"

Yun Shang also hurriedly pulled her arm back from Yue Fei's hand, quickly stepped back a few steps, and then bowed gracefully.

At this moment, everyone in the Lanyue Pavilion, without exception, half-squatted and saluted the Queen.

However, only Yue Fei stood upright, one hand gently pressing on her slightly bulging belly, with her belly sticking out, without any intention of bowing.

Concubine Yue raised her chin slightly, looked at the Empress with a slightly provocative look, and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, have come uninvited today. Could it be that you are thinking about these pots of peonies that are blooming proudly in the cold moonlight?"

Then, she gently stroked her abdomen and continued, "Besides, I am now pregnant with the dragon heir, and my body is very heavy. It is really inconvenient for me to perform the ceremony. I hope that the Queen can be more understanding."

Despite Concubine Yue's rude words and actions, the Queen always maintained a kind and friendly smile on her face, as if she didn't take it to heart.

She waved her hand casually and said softly, "Everyone, please stand up."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Yue Fei, who was still standing upright, and responded with a smile: "Sister Yue Fei, what are you talking about? I don't care about these red tapes. How dare I ask you to perform the ceremony?"

"I came here today specifically to look for Princess Qi."

After hearing this, Yun Shang hurried forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I wonder why you are looking for me?"

The Queen nodded slightly, and said with her red lips softly, "Well, the patterns you painted for me last time were very beautiful. Unfortunately, I accidentally damaged one of them, so this time I specially came to ask you to help me paint a few more."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen looked around and continued, "I imagine your flower-viewing banquet here is almost over. In that case, how about Princess Qi come with me to the palace and stay for a while?"

However, upon hearing this, Concubine Yue's face darkened instantly, and she retorted coquettishly, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Qi is a distinguished guest whom I invited. How can you just take her away as you please?"

After saying that, Yue Fei made a move to step forward and grab Yun Shang, intending to pull her to her side.

Seeing this, Yun Shang quickly stepped back to avoid Yue Fei's outstretched hand.

At this critical moment, who would have thought that Qin Yao would suddenly appear beside Yun Shang like a ghost.

Qin Yao didn't say anything, stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Yun Shang's wrist, pulling it hard, as if she wanted to rush straight towards Yue Fei with Yun Shang.

Just as a conflict was about to break out, at this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly attacked from behind Yun Shang, like a storm.

The force was so immense that Yun Shang was completely unable to resist it. She fell backwards involuntarily and eventually collapsed to the ground in a miserable state.

Just as she turned around in confusion, her sight instantly fixed on the familiar figure - it was Yu Ruyi!

Yu Ruyi looked very nervous, with beads of sweat even appearing on her forehead.

It turned out that Yu Ruyi was trying so hard to pull her in order to protect her from being affected by the upcoming storm.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

Just now, Qin Yao, who had been holding her arm tightly, suddenly lost control and lost control due to excessive force.

In an instant, Qin Yao seemed to have lost her balance and fell straight forward.

At this moment, Yue Fei, who was standing not far in front, had no time to dodge and bumped into Qin Yao head-on.

There was a loud bang, and before Yun Shang could struggle to sit up from the ground, she heard several terrified cries: "Empress Yue!" "Ah, be careful!"

Along with these exclamations, everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sound came from.

Looking closely, I saw that Yue Fei and Qin Yao had both fallen to the ground.

Yue Fei held her abdomen tightly, her face was as pale as paper, and her face was full of pain.

What was even more distressing was that everyone could clearly see that a bright and dazzling red color was slowly spreading from under Yue Fei's body, like a seductive flower blooming in the darkness.

"Blood... Queen Yue Fei is bleeding!"

I don't know who shouted this first, but the voice was full of panic.

"Oh my god, call the imperial physician quickly! Concubine Yue is bleeding!"

For a moment, the entire hall fell into chaos, with people running around to tell each other, or looking at each other, at a loss.

Qin Yao, the instigator of the accident, hurriedly got up from the ground in a panic.
