"Someone, drag him out and behead him!" The emperor roared, scaring everyone around him so much that they dared not move.

"Yes." The guards answered in unison, stepped forward to grab the unfortunate maid and dragged her out.

"Emperor, why are you so angry?" At this time, the Queen Mother slowly walked over and asked.

"Reporting to your Majesty, mother, this servant poisoned your grandson. She deserves no pity to die." The emperor said gritting his teeth.

"Which grandson?" The Queen Mother frowned, puzzled.

"Sixth Prince." The emperor replied in a heavy tone.

"Didn't Concubine Xi poison Concubine Liang, causing her to give birth to a fool prematurely? Why is it this lowly maid again?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"Son, I have found out clearly that it was not Concubine Xi, but this b*tch maid. Son misunderstood Concubine Xi." The emperor said with a guilty look on his face.

The Queen Mother was incredulous and muttered to herself: Why did the Emperor suddenly change? Did he really wrongly accuse Concubine Xi?

Now that Imperial Concubine Xi has become Concubine Xi, she is still under house arrest and cannot see the Emperor. Why would the Emperor suddenly change the evidence for her?

The emperor turned to look at the empress dowager and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Mother, I have ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and I will definitely clear Concubine Xi's name." Upon seeing this, the empress dowager didn't know what to say, but just nodded slightly to show her agreement.

At this time, the maid from Concubine Shu's palace came to report.

"Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked in confusion: "Why should I be happy?"

The maid said with a happy smile on her face: "Madam Shufei was not feeling well today, and the imperial physician took a look and found out that she was pregnant."

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, good, I have another prince." His heart was filled with joy and expectation, and this news made him feel very relieved.

The palace was suddenly filled with jubilation, and everyone congratulated the emperor. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful. The emperor was in a good mood and decided to visit Concubine Shu in person and reward everyone in the palace.

However, in this celebratory atmosphere, there was a pair of eyes flashing with jealousy.

The queen stood silently by, watching the emperor's joy, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.

She had originally hoped to conceive a dragonborn and consolidate her position, but now Concubine Shu has gotten there first.

The Queen secretly vowed that she would never let Concubine Shu succeed easily, and she would do everything she could to protect her position as Queen.

Thinking that Concubine Xi would soon be reinstated, he felt a headache again.

"Danqing, help me." The woman's voice was pleading, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.

"My queen, how can I help you?" Danqing looked at the woman in front of him helplessly, his heart full of sympathy, but he was powerless to do anything.

"Please give me a child." The woman held Danqing's hand tightly, tears flashing in her eyes, as if she had lost all hope.

"My Lady, this matter..." Danqing hesitated, not knowing how to answer. She knew what this meant to a woman, but she also knew it was not an easy task.

"Ever since Lang'er got married, the emperor has seldom come to see me." The queen's voice was low and sad. She seemed to have accepted this fact, but still couldn't let it go.

"Danqing, I really want a child, even just one." The queen's tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground, forming small dots.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad, there may still be a chance." Danqing comforted her, but she herself was not sure whether there was really a chance.

"No, there won't be another chance." The queen shook her head, her eyes dimming. "I'm old and no longer able to have children."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that." Danqing held the queen's hand, trying to give her some warmth and comfort.

"Danqing, what do you think I should do?" The queen raised her head and looked at Danqing, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, you can try to communicate with the Emperor and let him understand your feelings." Danqing suggested.

"Communication?" The queen laughed bitterly, "The emperor doesn't want to listen to me at all."

"Then you can try other methods, such as going to a temple to pray, or seeing some famous doctors." Danqing continued to give advice.

"Famous doctor?" A glimmer of hope flashed in the queen's eyes. "Yes, maybe a famous doctor will have a solution."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to help you find a famous doctor." Danqing promised.

"Thank you, Danqing," the queen said gratefully, "I don't know what I would do without you."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. I will always be by your side." Danqing said firmly.

"My queen, I have to ask you, now that the King of Kang already has a son, even if you already have a grandson, why do you still want to give birth to a prince?"

"I will tell you a secret. Prince Kang was not born to me."

Danqing opened his mouth in shock: "My queen, how is this possible? Confusion of the prince is a crime punishable by the death of the entire clan."

The queen smiled and said, "Prince Kang is indeed the emperor's biological child, but his biological mother is just a maid of mine. Therefore, the emperor gave Prince Kang to me to raise."

Danqing's eyes widened: "The emperor actually knew about this?"

"Of course, he is not a fool." The queen replied calmly.

"The emperor took you away from me and made you raise other people's children, but he didn't even give you a child of your own." Danqing became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

The queen sighed softly: "Oh, Danqing. That's why I want a child even more now." There was a hint of desire and determination in her eyes.

Danqing looked at the queen with pity and heartache in her heart. She knew the queen's difficulties and loneliness over the years, and understood her desire to have a biological child.

Danqing went to investigate why the emperor and the queen did not conceive after having sex, but the news he got shocked him. This result was so cruel that he could not accept it.

"Your Majesty, what do you drink after having sex with the Emperor?" Danqing asked seriously.

The Queen looked at her in confusion: "Why do you ask that? Afterwards, the Emperor will give me a pregnancy-maintaining medicine to help me get pregnant."

Danqing turned pale when she heard this. She said in a trembling voice: "My queen... this..."

When the queen saw Danqing's reaction, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She tightly grasped Danqing's hand and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Is there any problem? Tell me quickly!"

Danqing gritted his teeth and finally said the heartbreaking fact: "It's... it's a sterilizing drug."

The queen was struck by lightning, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground. She widened her eyes and murmured in disbelief: "No... Impossible, the emperor would not do this to me..." Tears slid down her cheeks, and her heart seemed to be torn into pieces. . "
