"My queen, do you really want to do this? Will the queen kick me out?"

Songzhi was a little worried.

After all, they had just experienced such a terrible thing tonight. If Concubine Hua asked Songzhi to send a bowl of old duck soup over, wouldn't that be bad luck?

"When you go there, you will know how the Queen treats you." Hua Fei said with a smile.

Song Zhi looked at Concubine Hua's rare smile and bit her lip and said,

"My lady, I will definitely do it!"

Ever since Nian Gengyao was sentenced to prison, Concubine Hua has never smiled again.

Songzhi looked at Concubine Hua and smiled, and she also smiled.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, she will definitely accompany the Empress through them!

Too many things happened last night and the Queen didn't sleep well.

I was in a daze and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

So I slept until noon.

Jianqiu was worried at first whether she was sick, but she was relieved when she finally woke up.

After helping the queen wash up, Jianqiu asked the palace maid to bring the lunch.

The queen picked up her chopsticks and took a sip of soup, then she heard another young palace maid walk in and say, "Your Majesty, someone from the Yikun Palace is here."

Jianqiu quickly glanced at the queen and found that her face looked strange.

"Just say that the queen is not feeling well and is not seeing anyone." Jianqiu dismissed him on his own initiative.

The queen put down her chopsticks and rubbed her temples, "Wait."

When the Queen thought about last night when the Emperor rushed to Jingren Palace and slapped her because of Concubine Hua, she felt so angry that she could not stop.

"My queen, how about I go and teach the people of Yikun Palace a lesson myself?"

Jianqiu knew that the queen was angry, so she planned to vent her anger for her master.

"Call her in." The queen wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled gently, but the smile disappeared before it reached her eyes.

"Yes, your majesty." Seeing that the queen had her own ideas, Jianqiu quickly walked out of the palace.

When she found out that it was Songzhi who came in person, she couldn't help but sneer.

"It's Aunt Songzhi. Our queen invites you in."

"My queen made some old duck soup and asked me to bring it to the queen."

Songzhi raised the exquisite jar in her hand and said with a smile.

As soon as the word "soup" was mentioned, Jianqiu's expression suddenly changed.

"Hmph, come in."

She said coldly, then turned quickly and walked forward on her own.

The smile on Songzhi's face quickly faded, and she quickly followed Jianqiu's pace.

"Your servant greets the Queen!" As soon as Songzhi saw the Queen, she greeted her respectfully.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of the queen's lips.

"Get up."

"Yes."

Songzhi stood up and told the Queen her purpose.

The queen looked at the jar of old duck soup in her hand and her face twitched.

What a shameless Concubine Hua! She comes to disgust her as soon as she wakes up.

"Empress Hua is so thoughtful. Even though she's sick, she's still thinking about me." The Queen said indifferently.

Songzhi smiled and said, "Our queen misses the queen the most. She only hopes that the queen can be safe and sound."

The queen sneered, "What a peaceful and smooth life."

She turned her head and looked at Jianqiu, "Empress Hua is so kind, I can't let her down, serve the old duck soup."

Jianqiu was unwilling to give in.

"Miss!"

"Go and get it!" said the queen in a deep voice.

Seeing that the queen was already angry, Jianqiu didn't dare to say anything more and could only walk towards Songzhi.

When Songzhi saw Jianqiu approaching, she nodded and smiled at him, then presented the jar in her hands with both hands.

"Sorry, aunt."

After all, Jianqiu was the head aunt of the Queen, so she considered herself superior.

She rolled her eyes at Songzhi and was about to take the jar.

Just as her hand touched the jar, Songzhi sneered at her.

With a crisp "crash" sound, the can of old duck soup fell to the ground and shattered.

Jianqiu looked at Songzhi in shock, and Songzhi looked aggrieved and frightened.

"Aunt Jianqiu, it's all my fault, my fault!"

Songzhi knelt down and apologized with tears in her eyes.

Jianqiu was about to get angry, but unexpectedly, Songzhi apologized to her first.

She had no place to vent her anger.

The queen was sitting at the table. She only saw Jianqiu's back and had no idea what had happened.

All I could hear was the sound of the jar breaking and the smell of duck soup in the air.

"Jianqiu, what happened?" asked the queen.

Just as Jianqiu was about to answer, Songzhi took the lead and knelt in front of the Queen.

"It was my fault. I accidentally dropped the jar."

Jianqiu was about to say something, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Songzhi said.

The queen felt very unhappy when she saw the mess on the ground.

"It seems that I am not lucky enough to have the chance to taste Concubine Hua's cooking!"

Songzhi kowtowed, "This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Aunt Jianqiu."

Jianqiu snorted coldly, "Of course it has nothing to do with me!"

The Queen frowned and waved her hand impatiently.

"Please leave. I am not feeling well and need to rest."

Songzhi looked up at the queen, kowtowed again, then stood up and left.

The queen looked at the mess on the ground and turned to Jiang Fuhai in annoyance and said, "Clean it up quickly."

Jiang Fuhai bowed and said, "Yes, Madam!"

The queen completely lost her appetite and turned over and lay back down on the bed.

Jianqiu followed and served her.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Jianqiu looked at the Queen worriedly.

The queen lay on her side, facing outward, staring at Jianqiu without blinking.

"Why are you doing this?"

Jianqiu was stunned and didn't understand what the queen was talking about.

But soon, she understood.

"My lady, I really didn't do this! It was Songzhi who didn't hold the jar firmly and dropped it herself!"

There was distrust in the queen's eyes.

"Is that really the case?"

Jianqiu became anxious, knelt on the ground, raised his right hand and swore.

"My lady, it really wasn't my fault!"

"I'm glad it's not you." The queen looked at Jianqiu meaningfully, then turned sideways and fell asleep facing inward.

----

After the court session, the emperor hurried to the Yikun Palace.

Su Peisheng said softly beside him: "Your Majesty, isn't that Aunt Songzhi from the Yikun Palace?"

The emperor followed Su Peisheng's gaze and saw Songzhi walking with her head down.

But looking at her appearance, she seemed to be wiping away tears.

"Su Peisheng, go and see what's going on."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng walked over quickly and called out to Songzhi.

"Aunt Songzhi, please stay."

When Songzhi turned around and saw Su Peisheng, she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Eunuch Su, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Su Peisheng couldn't help but frown when he saw her crying.

"Who bullied you?"

Songzhi stammered, "No one bullied me. I went to Jingren Palace to deliver something, but I didn't do my job well... I thought Aunt Jianqiu caught it... It's all my fault."

Su Peisheng listened for a while and finally understood what was going on.

The emperor came over at this time, and Su Peisheng told him the matter again.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned.

"The Queen is still angry with Concubine Hua, and actually let Jianqiu use such a dirty trick!"
