After rebirth, the regent did whatever he wanted to her

In the cold palace

In a secluded corner, a woman in tattered clothes and with a haggard face was huddled against the wall, muttering some incomprehensible words.

A young maidservant complained with resentment on her face: "What sin did I commit in my previous life? Not only was I banished to this cold palace to suffer, but I also have to serve such a crazy woman!"

The young palace maid became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and her voice unconsciously rose an octave.

However, her companion rushed forward to cover her mouth, looked around nervously, and warned in a low voice: "Xiao Ju, keep your voice down! If others hear us, it will be terrible. We will lose our heads!"

Xiao Ju was a little scared after hearing this, but she still muttered unconvincedly: "What are you afraid of? This is the cold palace. Who would be bored enough to come to such a hellhole? We are the only unlucky ones who were sent to this shabby place and have to accompany this crazy woman all day long!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, so she simply put down the work in her hands and strode up to the woman.

"It's all because of you! Look at what kind of life we're living? It's all your fault!" Xiaoju yelled at the woman with her eyes wide open.

As if this was not enough to vent her anger, she kicked the woman hard and stretched out her hands to tear her hair.

The man immediately held his head and screamed in pain.

"Xiao Ju, stop it immediately!" The scream frightened another palace maid so much that she ran over in a hurry and pulled Xiao Ju away.

"Xiao Zhu, what are you afraid of? She is just a fool now."

Xiaoju said this nonchalantly, but deep down she felt an indescribable joy.

Xiao Zhu was terrified and almost fainted. She retorted in a trembling voice: "Xiao Ju, no matter what, she is still the Queen! The emperor has not yet issued an edict to depose her, how can you be so presumptuous and rude?"

Xiao Zhu couldn't imagine that he would actually witness such a scene - Xiao Ju dared to pull the Queen's hair and even kicked her.

To her, these were sheer treason.

"Look carefully, there is not a single treatment here that a queen deserves. I can only eat leftovers every day. I'm really fed up with it!" Xiaoju complained indignantly, wishing she could escape from this horrible place immediately.

Xiaozhu wanted to persuade her a little more, but was interrupted by Xiaoju impatiently: "Okay, stop talking, and get back to work, or you won't have dinner again!"

Xiao Zhu looked at the person curled up on the ground with some concern, shook his head helplessly, and turned away.

However, at this moment, the woman who was curled up in the corner and muttering to herself suddenly stopped muttering.

Her eyes were staring straight ahead, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a creepy, weird smile.

At night, when the two palace maids fell asleep, the one who had been asleep suddenly opened her eyes.

There wasn't even a hint of stupidity in her eyes at this moment.

Queen Yan stood up, put on her torn coat, and walked out the door.

In a remote courtyard of the cold palace, a man wrapped tightly in black had been waiting for a long time.

"I wonder what your Majesty has thought about this?"

A hoarse voice came from the man in black.

Queen Yan didn't know who this person was or why he found her. A few nights ago, she woke up from her sleep in a daze and saw a dark shadow standing beside her bed.

She was so scared that she wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't make any sound for a while.

Later, she found out where she was. It turned out that so much time had passed, and her Yu'er and the Yan family were both gone.

And she herself has been a fool for such a long time.

Nowadays, even a little palace maid dares to beat and scold her!

"I will make those who harmed me pay the price!" A trace of determination flashed in Queen Yan's eyes.

"As long as Your Majesty does as I say, you can get your revenge." The man in black said softly.

Queen Yan gritted her teeth and asked, "Why should I believe you?"

"Does the Queen think you have any choice? If you were not still somewhat useful, why do you think I would go to so much trouble to save you?"

"Or do you think the emperor will still take our old relationship into consideration and allow you to have a comfortable life in the future?"

"Don't forget why you are here now!"

The man in black's tone was full of sarcasm.

As if a painful spot had been touched, Queen Yan's body trembled slightly. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

"Okay, I promise you."

Her voice was filled with hatred and determination.

She wants to take back her son's life, the lives of the Yan family, and the humiliation she has suffered during this period!

"Then I will wait for good news from the Queen."

The man in black stuffed a porcelain bottle into Queen Yan's hand and quickly disappeared into the night.

Queen Yan took the porcelain bottle and held it tightly in her hands, as if it was her hope for revenge.

At this time, the imperial study in the palace was still brightly lit.

Si Ziyan was speechless as he looked at the emperor in front of him whose smiling face had turned into a chrysanthemum.

Many are still shocked.

I was shocked when I first heard the word "abdication", but now I am numb to it.

He really couldn't understand. Others were trying their best to sit on this throne, so why was his father different from others?

Si Ziyan looked at the emperor and sighed helplessly, "Father, I really don't understand why you are so obsessed with abdication."

The emperor smiled and patted Si Ziyan on the shoulder, "Son, you are still young and don't understand your father's painstaking efforts."

"During this period of time, you have been able to handle state affairs with ease, and your ability is obvious to all."

"Besides, my father is already old and just wants to enjoy his old age. I can rest assured to hand over this country to you."

After listening to the emperor's words, Si Ziyan felt deeply touched.

Eunuch Gao, who had been serving by his side, rolled his eyes. He said so much just so that he could eat, drink and have fun earlier.

Poor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was even moved by this.

Si Ziyan looked at the emperor, with a complex emotion in his eyes, "Father, I know what you mean, but I am worried that I am not up to the task."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I believe you will become an outstanding monarch."

Si Ziyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "In this case, I will do my best."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I feel relieved with your words."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly reported outside, "Your Majesty, something happened in the cold palace."

The emperor and Si Ziyan looked at each other, and an ominous premonition rose in their hearts, "Why are you so flustered?"

The guard took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, the guards from the cold palace just reported that...the queen is missing."

The emperor's face changed. "What? How could the queen be missing? Go check!"

Si Ziyan's brows were also tightly furrowed. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
