Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"When I left, your pregnancy was fine. What are these people in the Imperial Hospital doing? They can't even save a pregnancy?" Tai was extremely angry.

"Queen Mother, this matter..."

"Why are you kneeling again?" The Queen Mother quickly helped Concubine Yue up. "I see that you have lost a lot of weight! You must have suffered so much!"

The eyes looking at Concubine Yue were full of heartache, "If I had known earlier, I would have left the palace to escape the summer heat! There hasn't been any happy event in the palace for many years. It's not easy to have a happy event, but..."

"I have been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures all these years, just hoping for the birth of many royal heirs. But why is it so difficult?" The empress dowager's expression was lost and full of self-blame.

"Mother, this matter..."

"The Empress has arrived!" Emperor Wen of Zhou had just opened his mouth when the voice of Eunuch An came from outside the door.

Then the queen walked towards this side. When she saw Emperor Wen of Zhou and the Queen Mother, she was slightly startled and looked surprised.

"Your Majesty, I have seen you, the Queen Mother." She bowed respectfully, "I didn't know that your Majesty and the Queen Mother were here with Concubine Yue. I am sorry for being disrespectful."

"Your concubine greets the Queen." Concubine Yue quickly bowed to the Queen and said, "Your concubine is guilty. Please forgive me, Queen."

"Get up, get up. What crime have you committed?" The Queen Mother helped Concubine Yue up, and then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she said to Emperor Wen of Zhou in a deep voice, "Hurry up and go to the morning court. Don't keep the court officials waiting."

"I am here to chat with Yue'er. We haven't had a personal conversation for a long time."

Emperor Wen of Zhou was indeed concerned about the court at the moment, so he naturally did not notice the flash of anger that passed across the Queen's face.

He even told the Queen, "It has been a while since the Queen has met with Mother. I am sure you two must have a lot to talk about. I will go to the morning court first. You and Concubine Yue will take care of Mother."

"Your Majesty..." The Queen called him and wanted to talk about the marriage between him and Helian Munian'an.

But the Queen Mother interrupted, "Queen, you have always been the most virtuous, can't you come here early in the morning to accuse the Emperor just because he came to Yue'er yesterday?"

"The queen in my eyes is not like this. In my eyes, the queen always considers the emperor's interests, is dignified and proper, and acts prudently."

"I dare not." The queen suppressed her anger and maintained a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Queen Mother said with a smile, and said to Emperor Wen of Zhou, "Why are you still standing here? Go to the morning court! The three of us should have a good chat. This has nothing to do with you."

"My son, I'm leaving." Emperor Wen of Zhou bowed to the Queen Mother and left.

Looking at Emperor Wen of Zhou walking away, the Queen was extremely angry.

The anger she suffered in Shoukang Palace yesterday and the resentment she was holding at the moment made her want to get angry at the Queen Mother.

But in the end, I managed to hold it back.

Old woman, one day, I will make you live a life worse than death!

"Queen, do you admit your guilt?" Just as she was feeling resentful, the Queen Mother's cold voice rang out.

Madam Hu and Eunuch An were so frightened that they fell to their knees and said, "Queen Dowager, please calm down."

The queen could only kneel down and said, "I don't know, please tell me, mother."

The Queen knelt down, and Concubine Yue naturally followed suit.

The maids and eunuchs also knelt on the ground.

"I don't know?" The Queen Mother looked at her with a glare, and angrily rebuked, "When I left, what did you promise me? What assurance did you give me?"

"You said that you must do your best to take good care of the baby in Concubine Yue's belly, and make sure that after I return to the palace, I will happily hug a big fat grandson!"

"What about now? Ah! Where is my little fat grandson? Is this your promise?"

"It has only been a short time since I left, and Concubine Yue has already had a miscarriage? Isn't this a dereliction of duty on your part as the queen?"

"As the queen, you have failed in your duty yet you remain unmoved when you see the heir to the throne being transferred to another throne!"

"Over the years, the concubines have had miscarriages? As the queen, you don't even look for the reason. You've failed in your job again!"

"Queen, do you want me to punish you?"

The Queen Mother spoke the last sentence word by word through her teeth, without any hint of joking.

"Empress Dowager, please calm down, Empress Dowager, please calm down! The Empress cannot be blamed for Concubine Yue's miscarriage." Nanny Hu hurried to beg for mercy and explain on behalf of the Empress.

"That's your dereliction of duty!" The Queen Mother was furious. "As the Queen's housekeeper and chief eunuch, not only did you fail to help, but you are now making excuses for her!"

"Come here, give each of them twenty strokes of the cane! Drag them away!"

Without giving the two a chance to explain, Nanny Liu brought people and dragged Nanny Hu and Eunuch An away.

Soon in the yard came the sound of "crackling" and the two men's screams of "ouch ouch".

The queen was filled with hatred.

Under her sleeves, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging into the flesh, but she felt no pain.

Damn the old woman, she is trying to intimidate me. This is a warning to her!

"My mother is right. It's all my fault." The queen suppressed her anger and admitted all her faults. "It was my fault that I didn't take good care of Concubine Yue. It was my fault that I didn't take good care of all the concubines!"

"I have committed a grave sin! When the emperor leaves the court, I will go to the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty."

"Are you threatening me?" The Queen Mother looked down at her.

"I dare not. I really feel that I am wrong. I would like to ask the emperor to punish me!" said the queen.

"Empress Dowager, I want to say something fair on behalf of the Empress Dowager." Concubine Yue kowtowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager, "My miscarriage this time has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. It was my own carelessness."

"It was my fault that I didn't take good care of my baby. The Queen took good care of me. My food, clothing and other expenses were all arranged by the Queen herself."

"The Queen is the best Queen, and she is a blessing to us sisters in the harem. Please calm down, Queen Mother, and stop blaming the Queen."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, everyone get up! Maybe it's God's will!"

Nanny Liu hurried forward to help the Queen up, while Concubine Yue was helped up by her personal maid Luoye.

"Thank you, mother." The queen bowed to the queen mother.

"You, as the queen, must behave like a queen in everything." The queen mother said helplessly, "The emperor is not young anymore, but he only has two princes and one princess."

"You have a great responsibility as the queen. At your age, it is impossible for you to have more children for the royal family. Then you have to find a way!"

"If you allow the heir to continue to be like this, how can you face your ancestors all day long?"

"Yes! I understand." The Queen responded with a very good temper, "I will have someone arrange the selection as soon as possible."

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with my mother. The Second Prince is not young anymore. Should we arrange a marriage for him?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Queen. I have already issued an imperial decree to grant you the marriage."
