Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

The two officials from the Dali Temple looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness in their eyes.

They originally thought that the queen would appear weak and ignorant due to her status and environment, but now it seems that they completely underestimated her determination and courage.

In their impression, the queen had always been portrayed as an uneducated, vulgar country girl. There were all kinds of rumors about her, saying that she grew up in the countryside and lacked education and knowledge. Therefore, when they faced such a queen who dared to refute them, they were very surprised.

As the queen's personal maid, Shengxia's usual behavior was somewhat arrogant and domineering, which made the two officials very dissatisfied.

They believed that the maid was taking advantage of the queen's favor and acting recklessly, which had brought a bad influence to the palace. So they decided to take this opportunity to teach this ignorant maid a lesson and also let the queen know that they were not omnipotent.

Imprisoning the maidservant would not only weaken the queen's power, but also reduce her opportunities to do evil.

However, what they didn't expect was that the queen was so determined to protect her maids that she even went against them. This made them begin to doubt whether the queen was really as ignorant and fearless as the outside world said.

Perhaps the queen had a side that was unknown to the public, or she had enough confidence to protect herself and those around her. In any case, this incident made the officials of the Dali Temple realize that they could no longer easily underestimate this seemingly weak queen.

The Queen and her men left without hesitation, and the two people from the Dali Temple could only continue investigating the case.

"Empress!" Shengxia followed Yunxi back to the Queen's bedroom, her face full of tears and snot. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and said with a sob, "You are so kind to me!" After wiping her tears, she clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with gratitude.

Yun Xi smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Sheng Xia's shoulder, and said softly: "You are all my maids, we should support each other. Moreover, I have always trusted you and know that you are not the kind of person with ulterior motives. Those people bullied you, which was actually a challenge to the majesty of me as the queen."

What a joke! She trained the maids Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong using the same method as training assassins. They are absolutely loyal to her. At least for now.

She didn't believe Shengxia, so did she believe Li Yaoer whom she met for the first time?

However, Yun Xi's expression immediately turned serious. She looked deeply at Sheng Xia and said in a heavy tone, "However, your reckless character must change. This is the imperial palace, people's hearts are complicated, and it is full of calculations and conspiracies. If you always act impulsively like this, it is easy to fall into the trap set by others and bring yourself unnecessary trouble."

Shengxia's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly nodded and said yes, expressing her willingness to correct her shortcomings. She knew that what the queen said was true, and she also understood that she needed to learn to act cautiously and protect herself and the queen.

"Empress, I asked someone to check. It was indeed the Emperor's order that they sent the jewelry to Li Yaoer." Shenqiu came back to report.

"What? How could the emperor do this? Your Majesty, do you want me to vent your anger for you?" Shengxia was standing by, clenching her fists, ready to make a move.

Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, I just told you to control your temper, and you forgot it again?"

Shengxia pursed her lips and waved her fist: "But the emperor has gone too far. He is clearly bullying you!"

Shenqiu looked at Yunxi with deep worry in his eyes.

Since arriving at the palace, they gradually realized that the Queen was almost isolated and helpless in the capital.

The strength of just the four of them is obviously far from enough to deal with various complex situations.

What's worse is that even if the outside world knew about this, they probably wouldn't take it seriously. Those people thought that the queen didn't have strong support behind her, so they bullied her wantonly without any scruples.

Shenqiu firmly believed that the gift of jewelry to Li Yaoer was not from the emperor. It must be that some people saw that the queen was weak and therefore bullied her fearlessly.

Even if the emperor gave the order himself, it was still the emperor bullying the empress.

What the queen needs is not a case investigation, but a strong backing, a solid support that will terrify people.

Minister Feng's family was indifferent to the Queen, and no one knew what they meant. The Queen didn't approach them, and they didn't want to get close to her. What a strange family.

And the official position of Minister Feng himself was not impressive enough, and he could not suppress others in the court.

What the Queen needs is a strong backer that is feared by everyone in the court.

Shenqiu gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind to tell the Queen what she was thinking. She said with a firm face: "Your Majesty, among those ministers in the court, who is worthy of your friendship? While the banquet is not over yet, let me go out to help you deliver some small gifts and get to know them by the way."

Yun Xi could hardly help looking at Shen Qiu, and asked in confusion: "Shen Qiu, you are just a little maid, why are you suddenly worried about these things?" Shen Qiu's eyes were firm, and she answered without hesitation: "Didn't the queen say just now? We prosper together and suffer together. So, I have to consider more things for the queen!"

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I don't know who is worthy. But you can go out and have a look. If you see someone you like, give them some gifts."

Shengxia snorted coldly, "Okay, Shenqiu, are you planning to take over the queen?"

Shenqiu responded with a smile: "Shengxia, what do you think?"

Shengxia said firmly: "No, I must go out with you! What if you embezzle the queen's money?"

Chuchun came in from outside and shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Shengxia, don't you believe in Shenqiu?"

Shengxia immediately shouted, "I don't have any! How could I? I just thought it would be nice to go out for a walk."

"Chenqiu, take some gifts out of the warehouse." Yun Xi ordered.

"Yes."

"No! Shenqiu, you can't just leave like this!" Shengxia rushed over to stop Shenqiu.

"Take me away! You must take me away! When it comes to getting gossip, no one in Beijing is better than me! I'm going to get some information from outside, sort it out, and sell it to everyone. Haha, how come I'm so smart?"

Chuchun slapped her in the face: "In front of the queen, trying to steal the queen's limelight?"

"No, no, no, no!" Shengxia replied with a smile.
