The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

"If you don't want to watch the dance, then there's nothing to talk about."

The prince angrily swung his sleeves and avoided Lu Shiwan, "I still have to go to my mother's place, Princess Qi, please do as you please!"

After hearing this, Lu Shiwan's eyes sparkled with a smile.

"So you're going to see the Queen Mother. Then take care."

……

After the emperor left the Golden Palace, he went to the Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, the queen was sitting in the prison in a miserable state, muttering about her son.

When she heard the door open, she stood up excitedly.

"Your Majesty, is that you?"

The familiar voice broke the emperor's grief of the past two days.

He paused, then continued walking.

The queen saw who was coming, and her dim eyes were filled with light.

"Your Majesty, I knew you would not leave me alone. It's so cold in the prison. Please open the door quickly."

The emperor did not move, but raised his eyes calmly and looked at the woman with sharp hair and dirty clothes not far away.

"Empress, I want to ask you, have you ever been sincere to me over the years?"

The queen's expression was a little stiff, and she glanced at the empty cell next door.

"No need to look, the commander won't be back."

"Your Majesty?" The Queen felt a little guilty.

Thinking about the two days she had been locked up here, she already regretted it.

If she had not had an affair with the Grand Marshal, perhaps her relationship with the Emperor would not have reached the point it is today.

She plopped down on her knees.

"Your Majesty, I have treated you sincerely over the years. If it weren't for my brother forcing me, I would never have done this."

"Your Majesty, please give me a chance?"

"I will never dare to do that again."

The queen burst into tears and bit her lips hard.

"Back then, my brother and I did have some affection for each other, but after my parents stopped us, we became estranged."

"Over the years, my brother has been threatening me with this matter. If I don't obey him, he will tell you, Your Majesty, about these things. I am afraid that you will dislike me after knowing it, so I have never dared to..."

The emperor closed his eyes.

"So, you gave your body to the general, cuckolded me, and made me your plaything?"

"You enjoy the honor I give you while betraying me. Is this how you treat me?" He almost roared out the last sentence.

But facing the queen, his voice was still gentle.

The queen shook her head sadly and tried to explain. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the sky prison tightly.

"No, no, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. It is not what you think."

"I truly love you. Over the years... you have impressed me..."

"That's enough!" The emperor shouted angrily, "I want to ask you, was it you who picked up that purse and gave it to me?"

"If you dare to tell a lie, I will depose the crown prince!"

The Queen raised her head sharply.

"Your Majesty! Jin'er is your son, and the legitimate son of the Empress. How can you just abolish him?"

"He didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so angry with me? Taking it out on the child, what does that mean?" The queen's tears were like a kite with a broken string. She looked at the superior man in front of her pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, I picked up that purse."

"The words behind the big rock on the flower bed were also written by you?"

The queen felt guilty for a moment, and her palms were sweating.

She couldn't, couldn't let on.

"Yes, they were all written by me."

"Then tell me what you wrote?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at her calmly.

"It's been...it's been twenty years. I...I've forgotten."

"It doesn't matter if you forget. Then do you know what you have drawn or described?"

The queen shrank back nervously.

“Draw…Draw…”

"Your Majesty, I have followed you for twenty years. I never thought that you would doubt me in the end."

"What? Can't you tell?" The emperor did not answer her question.

"No need to pretend. You've been pretending for more than 20 years. Aren't you tired?"

"That person is not you at all, so you naturally can't tell."

"You pass by the Imperial Garden every day. The words on the stone are engraved on it. You often talk about your youth. If you really missed the past, you would have gone to see it a long time ago."

"But you have never looked at it, nor have you seen what I left behind."

"Queen, I really underestimated you. I let you be the queen for more than 20 years."

After hearing this, the queen sneered.

"So, you already knew it wasn't me. I was just testing you."

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago. I was just testing you."

The queen suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, so you already had spies all over Fengyi Palace?"

"Hmph, Queen, do you think everyone is as meticulous and ruthless as you?"

"You killed Zeng Wanyi, didn't you?"

The queen raised her eyes with bloodshot eyes and looked at the emperor.

"The rouge you gave her was used by plague victims, and the only person who could have gotten this must be someone outside the palace."

"The only person who can enter and leave the palace and has a reason to enter the harem is your brother, the Grand Commandant."

"Zeng Wanyi knew your secret. You wanted to kill her, but you also wanted to protect your own reputation, so you gave her your favorite rouge."

The queen went from being shocked to mocking.

She knew that the emperor was smart, but she didn't expect him to see so clearly.

Even she was operating in this way, and it was clear.

"Since the emperor knows, I have nothing to hide. Zeng Wanyi is stupid herself, and she can't blame anyone else."

"If she hadn't been blinded by greed, how could she have been infected with the plague?"

The emperor was extremely angry when he saw that she did not repent and was still so arrogant.

"Is a human life so worthless in your hands?"

"Whatever Zeng Wanyi did wrong, she will be dealt with according to the law. You have been in charge of the harem for many years, and you don't understand this principle?"

"Humph, reason? Your Majesty is talking to me about reason? Isn't the reason all with you, Your Majesty? As long as you give the order, I will be innocent."

The queen stood up with the help of the iron cage and looked at the emperor pitifully.

"Since Your Majesty already knows the truth, why is he still bothering me here?"

"I really pity you. You loved the wrong woman for twenty years. If she knew you were like this, would she forgive you?"

"Let's put it another way. If she knew, would she still accept you and love you?"

The emperor raised his eyelids.

"You don't need to worry about this, Queen. Today is the fifth princess' wedding, and I will not kill you."

"You are allowed to celebrate here that your daughter is married to another country and gain power for you."

The queen's pupils suddenly shrank.

Suddenly remembering something, she shook the iron cage vigorously.

"Shuxue can't marry, so she can't go."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please, let Shuxue come back?"

"I was reckless that day. I shouldn't have stopped you from letting her marry. Shuxue is a legitimate princess and she hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. I regret it now. Please, let her come back?"
