Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then she reacted.

The expression on his face became very serious. He waved his hand and asked all the servants to leave. Even Madam Liu and Eunuch Wei stepped back and stood guard outside the door.

"Slave?" The eunuch looked at the emperor.

"You also go back. No one is allowed to come in without my permission. Guard the door for me." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Eunuch Qiu responded seriously and left.

In the huge main house of Shoukang Palace, only the empress dowager and the emperor and his mother were left.

Inside the house, no one knew what the mother and son were talking about. Nanny Liu, Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Qiu, who were guarding outside the door, didn't hear a single word.

Of course, none of the three people outside the house dared to be careless. They just stood there with a solemn look on their faces and no one spoke.

Half an hour later, the emperor came out with a gloomy expression on his face.

The Queen Mother followed behind him, looked at the Emperor and said in a deep voice, "My son, I know this is unbelievable to you. But, no matter what, it's always better to be cautious."

"It has not been easy for us to get to where we are today. I won't say anything more. Think about it carefully and then decide."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on. Please let me go back to the Qianqing Palace."

"Yes!" Eunuch Qiu responded and quickly bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Nanny Liu and Eunuch Wei bowed respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor bowed to the empress dowager and said, "Mother, I will be leaving first."

The Queen Mother said nothing, but waved at him and nodded.

The Emperor and Eunuch Qiu left, leaving only the Empress Dowager, Nanny Liu, and Eunuch Wei in the room.

"Empress Dowager, are you feeling unwell? I see that you don't look very well. Do you want to call the imperial physician?" Nanny Liu looked at the Empress Dowager and asked with a worried look on her face.

"No need." The Queen Mother shook her head and refused, "I am fine, I just hope the Emperor is well."

Madam Liu and Eunuch Wei nodded repeatedly, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor will be fine."

……

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not say a word. He just sat on the chair, supporting his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something.

His expression was very heavy, and he looked like... the King of Hell who had crawled out of hell.

I had seen this kind of expression once before.

That was the incident twenty-three years ago, when Concubine Qiong schemed against him.

Eunuch Qiu has been with the emperor for thirty-seven years. He has been the emperor's eunuch since he was a child.

He is loyal to the emperor and is the person who knows the emperor best in the world.

He has been with the emperor for longer than the empress!

On that day twenty-three years ago, Concubine Qiong successfully climbed onto the dragon bed. When the emperor woke up and saw Concubine Qiong beside him, he really wanted to kill her.

When the emperor was young, he was deeply in love with the empress.

Although there were several concubines in the harem besides the queen, those concubines were just like decorations, and the emperor never even looked at them.

However, he never imagined that the ones who destroyed the relationship between him and the Queen were not the concubines who had been eyeing him covetously, but Meng Qiongzhi, the Queen's most trusted personal maid whom she regarded like a sister.

Because the queen trusted her, the emperor naturally trusted her as well.

At that time, Meng Qiongzhi was enjoying great success.

She was a favorite of the Empress and the Emperor, and she was the one that all the concubines in the harem wanted to curry favor with.

His popularity once overshadowed that of the eunuch Qiu who was beside the emperor.

After all, the emperor dotes on the queen, and he listens to her words very much.

Everyone wanted to please the queen, and wanted her to say a good word for them in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would visit their palace.

Sitting, sitting, this may be their night of sleeping with them.

If she could conceive a dragon heir because of this, it would be a step to heaven.

Not only can they, as concubines, gain status through their sons, but even their families can also rise step by step.

However, no one expected that Meng Qiongzhi was so "evil-minded" and ambitious that she actually took advantage of the queen's illness and climbed onto the dragon bed.

At that moment, everyone was not only waiting for the emperor to execute Meng Qiongzhi, but also watching the queen make a fool of herself.

After all, Meng Qiongzhi is the Queen's most trusted maid!

Everyone felt that Meng Qiongzhi had to die.

But no one expected that the queen was not angry at all. She even pleaded for Meng Qiongzhi and persuaded the emperor to take Meng Qiongzhi as his concubine.

At that moment, not only the concubines in the harem were stunned, but even the court officials were stunned.

No, how could such a lowly maidservant...how could she become a concubine?

There were court officials who opposed it, but the position of concubine given by the emperor was indeed very small, just an insignificant beauty.

In this way, the court officials could no longer object.

But after Meng Qiongzhi found out she was pregnant, the Queen once again pleaded for her.

Because at the same time, the queen was also diagnosed with being pregnant.

The queen felt that this was a blessing brought by Meng Qiongzhi. After all, she had been married to the emperor for a year and a half and had never been pregnant.

Now that Meng Qiongzhi was pregnant, she was also pregnant.

Isn’t that Meng Qiongzhi’s “merit”?

The emperor has always been very fond of the queen, so since the queen asked for mercy, the emperor agreed after some hesitation.

As a result, Meng Qiongzhi's status was promoted from a beauty to a concubine.

Later, with the Queen's several pleas, Meng Qiongzhi's position as a concubine was raised several times.

However, no one expected that Meng Qiongzhi would give birth on the same day as the Queen.

The queen went through many trials and tribulations to give birth to the emperor's eldest son, but she didn't expect that the eldest son would die at birth.

Meng Qiongzhi gave birth to the second prince, Helian Chen.

The second prince is full of energy.

At that moment, the emperor looked at the queen who had fainted due to the loss of her son, and went straight to Luofu Palace with a knife, intending to put an end to Meng Qiongzhi and her son.

If the Queen had not rushed over with her weak body to stop it, there would probably be no more Concubine Qiong and the Second Prince in this world.

Please immerse yourself in your own memories, and so does the emperor.

His mind replayed the events of the past few years, one by one, flashing rapidly through his mind.

The Queen Mother’s words just now kept echoing in his mind.

That’s right, the Queen Mother told him that she heard Xu Zhimiao’s thoughts.

The emperor was not surprised at all.

After all, he heard it himself. At the same time, he learned that the Queen Mother, like him, needed the help of the Mu family to hear Xu Zhimiao's voice.

The Queen Mother told him about what the Queen had done to her.

At that moment, the emperor was shocked.

My first reaction was: It must be Xu Zhimiao who is stirring up trouble.

The second reaction was: No, Xu Zhimiao didn't know that they could hear her thoughts. So, he should check the queen.

"Please let me go. Do you still remember how the Queen's sister Xia Zhilan died?" The emperor suddenly spoke.
