Su Mei couldn't help but look up at the queen. She indeed had the majesty of a mother of a country.

Upon hearing this, Lady Yang immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I spoke the wrong words in a moment of haste. Please calm down. However, I truly feel wronged. Imperial Concubine Rou accused me of this for no reason."

Concubine Yang immediately turned the conversation back to Concubine Rou.

"If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't want to suspect my sister like this." Concubine Rou clapped her hands unceremoniously. "This is Xi Que from your palace. She's your personal maid. Just listen to what she has to say."

Everyone was surprised. It turned out that Concubine Rou had made all the preparations to kill Concubine Yang.

However, everyone has long been dissatisfied with the arrogant and domineering Concubine Yang, so they are happy with the current situation.

"Xi Que, tell me what happened?" The queen didn't like to see them blaming each other, so she asked directly.

The magpie walked forward and first paid his respects to the queen before speaking.

"Your Highness, I am the favorite servant of Concubine Yang's palace and her personal maid. Ever since Concubine Yi became pregnant, our mistress has been resentful of her. She always says that Concubine Yi's rank is lower than hers, so why should she show off in front of her? So, she must teach Concubine Yi a lesson. She also said... she also said..."

As he spoke, the magpie's voice gradually became softer, as if he was afraid of something.

The Queen saw her concerns and looked around majestically before speaking, "It's okay, just tell me."

"She also said that if she didn't give birth to a dragon heir, no one else would either. So, she had Sister Huangli in the palace throw these stones on the path in the Imperial Garden where Concubine Yi liked to play, hoping to make her slip and have a miscarriage. I knew this was wrong and tried to persuade the young lady, but she wouldn't listen and even slapped me a few times."

After saying this, the magpie deliberately showed the queen his red and swollen right cheek.

After the magpie finished speaking, it crawled on the ground, crying and trembling, looking as if it was extremely scared.

Upon hearing this, the Queen's expression suddenly changed. She reached out, grabbed the teacup beside her, and smashed it down. "How dare you have such a vicious mind! Come, take Concubine Yang down and lock her up first. This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to the Emperor before making a decision. Everyone, please disperse for now."

Although the Queen wanted to deal with Concubine Yang, she still had to consider the Emperor's opinion. After all, Concubine Yang was a very special person.

Su Mei led the group back to the imperial study.

Tonight's scene is aimed at Lady Yang and has nothing to do with her.

She originally wanted to use tonight to expose the matter of the child, but now she wants to wait until Concubine Yi's "child" is gone.

The system was anxious again, "Stupid fox, tonight is such a good opportunity. There are so many people watching, and the Queen is here, you can just pretend to be pushed, then create a sign of miscarriage, bleed a little, and let the Emperor know you are pregnant. This way, you will have a better environment to nurture the baby."

Su Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Only when a man is most desperate can you give him hope, and that will impress him deeply.

By then, the child in her belly will be the only one the emperor has lost and regained, and its status will naturally be self-evident.

Shen agreed not to go along the way.

Su Mei and the others deliberately quickened their pace and returned to the imperial study.

"Sister Su Mei, will Concubine Yang be executed?" Qiangwei asked in a low voice.

"I know you hate her and want her to die, but walls have ears." Su Mei shook her head slightly. In this palace, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

"Sister, I'm just angry. She humiliated us that day." Qiangwei said softly, "Don't you feel resentful, sister?"

"No matter how much you hate her, you can't say it out loud." Su Mei's expression was serious. "Concubine Yang's affairs are not ours to control. Not even the Empress can easily decide her life or death. You need to remember that those who do evil will eventually perish."

"Speaking of this, young lady, the emperor hasn't come to the imperial study these days." Qiangwei said, handing Su Mei a plate of pastries.

Su Mei reached out and picked up a soft pastry, taking a small bite. "The Emperor's whereabouts have nothing to do with us. We are just insignificant beings in this palace. As long as we can protect ourselves, that's all that matters. As for whether the Emperor comes or not, it doesn't mean much to us."

Su Mei laughed, "Only the ladies should care whether the emperor comes or not."

The emperor Qi Sihan found it funny. There was a sour taste in the little girl's words.

"Oh, is it really only Your Majesty who should care about whether I stay or go?" He pretended to be angry and walked around from behind Su Mei to her front.

Su Mei had noticed him just now, and she said those words on purpose for him to hear, but she still pretended to be frightened.

She breathed a sigh of relief before standing up to pay her respects to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long and happily."

"Please get up. You are the little palace maid who was injured that day." The emperor asked Fulai.

Lai Fu smiled and replied, "That's right, she is the little palace maid Qiangwei who was injured that day."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now." Qiangwei was flattered, but still a little scared.

I wonder how much the emperor heard of what she said just now.

Sure enough, Sister Su Mei was right, trouble comes from the mouth, and walls have ears.

"Speaking of what happened that day, I came here to return this jade pendant to you. Now that I have given it to you, you now know the meaning of this jade pendant. You must keep it carefully in the future." Qi Sihan said as he placed a jade pendant in Su Mei's palm.

Su Mei glanced at Qi Sihan and thought to herself that the jade pendant was not what she wanted.

However, since this jade pendant has this meaning, it can also be regarded as a life-saving talisman at critical moments.

If she were to be in trouble in the future, anyone who saw this jade pendant would at least give her some face.

This is a pretty good thing, although it is still a little bit inferior compared to the position.

Now that the bait is almost ready, all she needs is the right moment to pull in the net.

"I thank the emperor for the reward, but this gift is a bit beyond the limit, and I am afraid." Su Mei deliberately said that her status was not worthy of it, and she was considered to be the emperor on time.

"It's cold tonight, so you'd better not stand in the yard. You've just recovered from a serious illness."

Qi Sihan looked at Su Mei. The girl was wearing a pink palace dress and looked particularly bright standing in the snow. The wind was chilly tonight and he was worried that she would catch a cold again.

So, he deliberately ignored the conversation and instead persuaded Su Mei to go into the house.

Su Mei cursed inwardly, but still put the jade pendant away carefully. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."

"Let's go in together, Zhixi." Qi Sihan suddenly grabbed Su Mei's hand and called her by her courtesy name.

Su Mei was startled, her pupils trembling slightly. She asked, "How did the emperor know my courtesy name?"

Qi Sihan held her hand tightly and said, "If you care, you will know."

At this time, Lai Fu suddenly stepped forward and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
