Shengxia happily hugged a pile of jewelry, with a smug smile on her face. Like a proud peacock, she swayed from Li Yaoer and returned happily to the Queen's palace.

He walked into the palace while humming a little tune.

The jewellery in her hands was dazzling and shimmering, attracting the other servants in the palace to look around curiously.

"Sister Chuchun, I'm back!" Seeing Chuchun, Shengxia shouted happily.

"Shengxia, what are you doing..." Chuchun looked up and saw the jewelry in her arms, pointed at it and asked in confusion.

"You mean, these all belong to the Queen, right?" Shengxia asked back proudly, with a cunning light in her eyes.

"Yes, these are the queen's jewelry. Why did you take them out for no reason? The queen doesn't need these things now." Chuchun frowned and looked at Shengxia in confusion, her heart full of doubts.

"Sister Chuchun, let me tell you, these are all what I saw in Li Yaoer's room. This headdress was still worn by Li Yaoer."

Sheng Xia pointed at the ruby ​​jewelry that Li Yaoer had taken off her head and snorted heavily: "It's so infuriating!"

"Ah? This is a set of headgear that the Queen likes very much. Even if she doesn't wear it, she will often take it to look at it. How could it be worn by Li Yaoer? And these, I saw them from Li Yaoer? How is it possible? The Queen has been in the bedroom and she didn't give any orders!" Chuchun opened her mouth in surprise.

She had always been with the Queen, and she knew best whether the Queen had given any instructions.

"Yes, so I took them all back!" Sheng Xia said indignantly, "The emperor is so evil!"

"You mean, these are all given to Li Yaoer by the emperor?" Chuchun frowned.

"Of course. Who except the Emperor dares to touch the Queen's jewelry?" Shengxia said indignantly.

"But why would the emperor do this? He clearly knows how much the queen values ​​these jewels." Chuchun shook her head in confusion.

They could all see how much the Emperor loved the Empress.

Even if he has fallen in love with Li Yaoer now, it should be because of the pressure from the ministers, and the queen is pregnant and cannot accompany him, right?

How could he just turn around and give all the Queen's treasures to Li Yaoer?

This doesn’t make sense!

"Who knows? Maybe the emperor wants to please Li Yaoer. Humph, what an ungrateful man!" Shengxia pouted in dissatisfaction.

"We can't conclude that it was sent by the emperor based on these alone. Maybe there are other reasons." Chuchun always felt that it was impossible.

"What reason could there be? Apart from the Emperor, who else has the power and courage to touch the Empress's things?" Shengxia became angrier the more she thought about it.

"Don't be angry yet, we still have to report this to the Queen." Chuchun made a gesture to silence her, "Keep your voice down, the Queen is resting."

"Okay, okay, then I'll put the things away first. I'll tell the queen when she wakes up." Shengxia nodded and lowered her voice.

Not long after, a nanny from the Queen's Palace came running in in a panic.

The chubby nanny's flesh trembled as she ran, and the flesh on her face also shook.

She looked terrified, with sweat and tears on her face, and she looked very embarrassed.

"Miss Chuchun, come quickly, I want to see the queen!" The nanny grabbed Chuchun and said anxiously.

Chuchun frowned and looked at the panicked nanny, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"The Queen is resting and cannot be disturbed." Chuchun said in a deep voice.

She had chosen this nanny. She had thought she was a calm person, but she was unexpectedly so frivolous.

"Miss Chuchun, something big has happened! I must report it to the Queen right away!" The nanny cried with tears and snot all over her face, looking very pitiful.

She wiped the tears from her face and said in a trembling voice: "Then Li Yaoer committed suicide!"

I thought I was lucky this time and got the task of being the head nanny in the palace to take care of the emperor's first concubine, but I didn't expect my luck to be so bad that it would end up like this.

Her heart was filled with regret and indignation towards Li Yaoer: Li Yaoer, are you sick? Why are you seeking death when you are not a concubine?

If they had known that she was going to commit suicide, the Queen and Miss Chuchun would not have needed to save her.

What she was worried about was whether the emperor would blame her? Would he think that she had bullied Li Yaoer? And then beat her to death? That was a concubine that the emperor rarely liked!

Chuchun was startled and asked in a low voice, "When did it happen?"

Mammy clasped her hands in front of her and answered through gritted teeth, "Just now, I heard other palace maids shouting that Li Yaoer had committed suicide in her room. I hurried over to see, and saw Li Yaoer hanging from the beam, with her legs swinging. I was so scared that I almost lost my soul, and I hurried over to tell you."

Chuchun frowned, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "I will go and take a look, you go and notify the doctor. Don't panic, this matter must not be made public, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and trouble. Shengxia, you stay here, wait for the queen to wake up, and tell her about this."

Shengxia had been standing there in a daze for a long time.

Her intuition told her that Li Yaoer's death was related to her taking the jewelry back.

But, those were the queen's jewelry, so it was only natural for her to take them back! What was wrong with that?

This Li Yaoer is too pretentious!

She definitely wouldn't die, she just wanted to scare them.

"Shengxia..." Chuchun saw that Shengxia didn't respond, so she frowned and urged him.

"Oh, I see." Shengxia came back to her senses and nodded immediately, "Go and have a look, she must be fine."

"I hope so." Chuchun glanced at her, turned and left.

Nanny wiped her tears and followed Chuchun to the Queen's bedroom. Along the way, both of them were silent and in a heavy mood.

Shengxia hesitated for a moment, but finally arrived at the door of the queen's bedroom, took a deep breath, and knocked gently.

"Come in." The queen's gentle voice came from inside.

Shengxia pushed open the door and walked into the room. The queen was sitting on the bed, reading a book in her hand. When she saw her come in, she put down the book and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Shengxia walked up to the queen, bowed respectfully, and then lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news that Li Yaoer committed suicide."

When the queen heard this, her expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Why would you do this?"

Shengxia bit her lip and said with difficulty: "The specific situation is not clear, but... I think it may have something to do with me."

Hearing this, Yun Xi threw back the quilt and stood up: "Help me get some clothes, I'll go take a look."
