I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Just now, Aunt Rong specifically reminded herself that Concubine Hui loved to eat sweets. She must have known that she could not eat too sweet food, and wanted to use this to harm them.

She just wanted to use me to harm the royal heir. The emperor didn't mind that she was a divorced woman and gave me her marriage to Xie Jingrui, but that didn't mean he could tolerate someone who hurt the royal heir.

It was a coincidence that the Queen managed to kill two birds with one stone.

Lixia closed her mouth and turned her gaze to Liu Yueru. Seeing her serious expression, she asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with you, madam?"

Liu Yueru looked around the imperial kitchen, then raised her hand and made a gesture, motioning Lixia to come over.

Lixia will move closer.

Then Liu Yueru whispered, "It's impossible to make snacks. We will burn down the imperial kitchen later."

"What?" Lixia looked at Liu Yueru in surprise, and then confirmed with some disbelief, "Did you really mean what you just said?"

"Yes, no matter what we do today, we will end up dead. We might as well make a big deal out of it. A fire in the palace is a big deal. There is no one in the imperial kitchen. I am just someone who doesn't cook much. If I accidentally set the imperial kitchen on fire, isn't that a normal thing?"

Lixia's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Suddenly I couldn't wait any longer.

Liu Yueru took out the flour from the imperial kitchen, kneaded it and put it aside, and after preparing all the things needed to make snacks, the two of them quickly made some cakes and placed them aside to prepare to steam them.

Lixia looked in the direction of Liu Yueru, and then whispered to her, "Madam, please move aside."

"Be careful." After Liu Yueru's instructions, the two of them took action.

In order to make things more realistic, the two men smeared some flour and charcoal ash on their faces, making themselves look messy.

Lixia took out a small piece of firewood from the fire place and threw it on the leaves.

The fire started instantly.

The imperial kitchen was empty at this moment.

When Liu Yueru saw this, she immediately asked Lixia to run out and call for help.

He took a basin of water and quickly put out the fire to control the spread of the fire.

Only thick smoke came out from the direction of the imperial kitchen.

The Empress and the concubines, who were originally drinking tea leisurely, suddenly heard the servants come to report: "Oh no, there's a fire, there's a fire."

After everyone heard this, the Queen stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

As she spoke, the Queen did not stop, but walked outside.

The servant glanced at the Queen and said cautiously, "Yes, there was a fire in the Imperial Kitchen!"

The Queen's face changed drastically when she heard this. "Where are the people? Is anyone injured? Did you send someone to put out the fire?"

"I went there. I haven't had time to get in yet. I don't know what's going on inside."

When the queen heard this, her face turned even worse and she quickened her pace, followed closely by the concubines.

After hearing the news in her own palace, Concubine Xian also rushed over.

Seeing that the imperial kitchen was smoked black and there was no trace of Liu Yueru anywhere, the queen panicked. "Where is Madam Liu? Didn't I hear that she came to the palace to make snacks for me? Why did she make such a big commotion in the imperial kitchen for no reason?"

After hearing this, Concubine Xian asked with a very unhappy expression, "Why did Madam Liu come to the imperial kitchen by herself? The Empress wants to eat whatever snacks she wants, but she has to ask Madam Liu to come to the palace to make them for everyone?"

The queen's expression changed slightly, but she knew she was in the wrong and didn't say much.

She grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is the person who was in there just now?"

"Your Majesty, he has been taken to the imperial study by the Emperor." The servant answered cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the queen turned around and left, leading a group of people towards the imperial study.

At this moment, Liu Yueru was sitting in the imperial study in a state of embarrassment. After the imperial physician examined her, he said, "Your Majesty, Madam Liu is not seriously injured, she was just frightened."

After saying that, Liu Yueru knelt down in the direction of the emperor and pleaded with him, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to burn down the imperial kitchen. I was just too busy and didn't notice it for a while..."

Emperor Hexu's eyes fell on Liu Yueru. Thinking of what Xie Jingrui had said to him, there was only a hint of worry on his face. "It's good that nothing serious happened. But why is there no one in the imperial kitchen?"

The queen hurried over, and when she heard the emperor's somewhat angry voice, her heart instantly rose.

His eyes swept in the direction of Liu Yueru with a warning look.

Liu Yueru lowered her head obediently.

The emperor was intimidating without being angry. "No need to look at her like that. The imperial kitchen is usually guarded by someone. Why is there no one today? Who is on duty? Call them over."

The Queen looked at Liu Yueru kneeling on the ground and asked, "How could the imperial kitchen be set on fire for no reason?"

Liu Yueru's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she answered carefully, "I don't know either. I was making the cakes, thinking that I would steam some to send to Your Majesty after they were ready, so that Your Majesty wouldn't have to wait too long. I didn't expect that I would make things worse. It's all because of your stupidity. Please punish me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

The Queen's face was not very good. "I asked you to come and do it, not to light the fire. If you don't know how, you can wait for the people from the imperial kitchen to come and ask them to help you."

She caught a glimpse of He Xudi who also looked unhappy, and then her voice softened a bit; "Fortunately, the fire was put out in time today, and no one was killed or injured. It is better to be careful in the future."

"Yes, I will keep the Queen's teachings in mind." Liu Yueru responded in a gentle voice.

Emperor Hexu glanced at Liu Yueru lying on the ground and said, "Go down and change into clean clothes."

"Concubine Xian, you take her there." Emperor Hexu instructed Concubine Xian who was standing aside.

"Yes." Concubine Xian said nothing more and left with Liu Yueru and Lixia.

The remaining concubines were all cleared out.

The Queen sat in the seat below Emperor Hexu and whispered, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly grant a marriage between Madam Liu and Jingrui? Madam Liu is a divorced woman. Even if she is allowed to enter the Jin Palace, she will not marry into the palace as a princess. At most, she can only be a concubine."

Emperor Hexu looked at the Queen with sharp eyes and asked, "The imperial decree has been issued, and the king is not joking. Are you planning to make me go back on my word?"

The Queen hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just..."

Before the queen finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her in a deep voice, "Don't think I don't know why you brought Madam Liu into the palace."

"The marriage between Jingrui and Madam Liu will not change. If I find out that Madam Liu was brought into the palace because of you, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife if something happens."

The Empress' face turned pale, and she looked at the Emperor in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, how could you think of me like this? I only meant well and had no idea that this would happen today."
