"Pass the order down, at all costs, find out what happened to Xiao Jingchen over the years..."

"Yes."

The emperor thought again that Xiao Jingchen had been poisoned for so many years, but he was still alive and well.

"Send someone to check Yaowang Valley and investigate who has treated Xiao Jingchen over the years..."

"I obey my orders."

At the palace gate, Eunuch Hai's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."

Upon hearing the Empress' request for an audience, the Emperor spoke.

"Have you found out who spread the news that I was injured today?"

When Eunuch Hai heard the emperor's words, he immediately replied.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I sent someone to check. You cancelled the morning court today. Several ladies wanted to see you, but you didn't meet them. So they were worried and reported it to the Empress Dowager..."

So, no one found out who spread the rumors?

"Also, several ladies suspect that you have a new favorite and are investigating in the palace..."

Hearing this, the emperor's face became even uglier.

These women, at this time, actually suspected that he had a new favorite. He was the emperor, so what if he had a new favorite?

The emperor had a gloomy face and Eunuch Hai didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the emperor spoke.

"Please come in, Queen."

"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Queen Zheng walked in and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the queen and said coldly.

"Get up."

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I am here to apologize. I heard that you were scratched by a wild cat last night. It was because I did not manage the harem properly that you got hurt. Please punish me..."

The emperor listened to the queen's apology but did not shout. After a while, the emperor spoke.

"Queen, you are my first wife."

The emperor deliberately emphasized the word "first wife" and then said.

"How can you be blamed for this? You manage so many things in the harem."

"Your Majesty, shall I let the concubines in the harem take turns to serve you every day?"

After hearing what the queen said, the emperor refused.

"No need."

How could he let those concubines come over when he was like this? They all came over because they wanted him to favor them and give birth to another son or princess to consolidate his favor.

That woman is really vicious.

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to do anything ruthless.

"The palace really needs to be rectified. There are too many people gossiping."

"Your Majesty is right. I will sort it out right away."

The queen quickly agreed.

After returning to the palace, Queen Zheng sent for the managers of each palace and carried out a major reorganization. She punished more than 20 people, beat them with more than a dozen boards, and expelled dozens of people from the palace.

"Is Queen Zheng crazy? How dare she touch my people?" Yang Guifei was so angry that she smashed the cup in her hand.

Over the years, she had fought with other concubines, but she had not targeted Queen Zheng for a long time. She felt that Duke Zheng had no real power now, and the Zheng family was abolished. If her son inherited the throne, Queen Zheng would have to look at her face. When the time came, she wanted Queen Zheng to give birth, and Queen Zheng would live. If Queen Zheng didn't know what was good for her, she would let Queen Zheng be buried with the emperor.

In this way, there will be no distinction between the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother Empress Dowager, or between the Empress Dowager of the East Palace and the Empress Dowager of the West Palace.

Unexpectedly, Queen Zheng is taking this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

It turned out that she underestimated Queen Zheng.

"My Lady Concubine, I heard that the Queen was following the Emperor's orders."
