Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

"You were in the palace on the day the queen gave birth. Do you know why she gave birth suddenly?" Xie Shang asked again.

Wu Xin did not go to Chenxi Palace to avoid suspicion, but he knew the situation in Chenxi Palace. He said, "I heard it from other eunuchs. The Queen suddenly fainted and had a miscarriage. It was Doctor Mei who rushed to save the Queen. The Queen had a difficult delivery and gave birth to the fourth prince from morning to night. The Queen passed away. Everyone thought that the Queen would die of difficult delivery. It was the Queen who used up her last bit of strength to give birth to the fourth prince and finally fainted again. It was Doctor Mei who saved the Queen. Other servants don't know either. Your Majesty can ask Doctor Mei if you want to know anything!"

Xie Shang felt terrified. He resolutely left that day because he thought she was plotting something again.

Only now did he realize that he could ask Imperial Physician Mei about the Queen's condition, and Imperial Physician Mei would not lie to him.

Wuxin glanced at the emperor's face. He didn't care about such an important matter as the queen giving birth. Now he is heartbroken, but it's too late. The queen has already been hurt by you.

He added, "Follow me to the Cining Palace."

Wuxin hurried to follow.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, the eunuch guarding the gate was about to report, but Xie Shang said, "Don't make a sound, I will go see the Queen Mother myself."

The eunuch naturally didn't dare to make a fuss and quickly stepped aside. Xie Shang walked in quietly.

Wuxin was the most favored eunuch around the emperor, and even the eunuchs and maids in the Cining Palace had to curry favor with him.

The emperor was seen walking in front with a menacing look, and Wuxin was following beside him, pretending to be powerful. With just a look from him, the palace maids and eunuchs around him naturally did not dare to make any move.

When I walked to the door of the empress dowager's bedroom, I saw a faint candlelight flickering inside, and even other subtle sounds could be heard.

Xie Shang had good hearing, and he only heard someone inside say, "The Queen Mother's skin is well maintained. This Jade Face Cream is the best-selling one in our Bai family. After applying it on the Queen Mother's hands, they become fragrant and tender. Apply some on your neck, too. The Queen Mother..."

Bai Shangwen's actions were very bold, teasing the queen mother so much that she was upset. She suddenly grabbed Bai Shangwen's restless hands and groaned, "I really like your Bai family's skin cream."

Bai Shangwen was originally just applying oil to the empress dowager's fingers. The empress dowager was so beautiful, even more charming than the women outside the palace, so his hands became restless.

Wuxin had never expected to witness such a thing, and he felt embarrassed for the Queen Mother.

At this time, Xie Shang's face had turned from pale to blue, his eyes were red, and he was furious. "Wuxin, seal off the Cining Palace. No matter what happens, not a single word is allowed to be leaked."

Wu Xin said, "Yes."

Then he pushed the door open and saw the scene on the couch. He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

The empress dowager had her clothes half pulled back when she saw the emperor suddenly appear in front of her. She pushed Bai Shangwen away and sat upright. Bai Shangwen's clothes were still on, but his belt was not around his waist.

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother explained, "I am just applying skin cream."

Xie Shang said coldly, "Come here, drag these villains out and beat them to death."

Bai Shangwen knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Majesty, spare my life. I didn't do anything. I just delivered skin cream to the Queen Mother. Queen Mother, please save me!"

The Queen Mother was reluctant to execute Bai Shangwen when she heard that she was going to execute him. She said quickly, "If you want to kill her, kill my mother first!"

Xie Shang found it unbelievable after hearing this, thinking about how she had fooled around with a man before and was caught by his father, and now, only a few months after his father's death, she was fooling around with another man again.

He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he wanted to really kill her. He was extremely disappointed with the Queen Mother, "From now on, you are not my mother. I don't have a mother as shameless as you."

The Queen Mother was so frightened that she burst into tears. "I didn't do anything. I have endured humiliation and hardship in the palace for thirty years all for you."

"I think you do this for your own sake!" Xie Shang didn't want to say a word to her.

The Queen Mother felt heartbroken, "I have been neglected by your father all my life. I am also a woman, Emperor, why don't you feel sorry for me? You always resent your mother. It's because your father is too heartless and ungrateful."

Xie Shang stared at her. "If you hadn't done those shameless things, how could the emperor be so ruthless and ungrateful to you? The emperor is gone, and you are still quibbling. Your actions and your face are really disgusting."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Now she just wanted him to let Bai Shangwen go. "The Bai family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou. You can't kill Bai Shangwen. He was brought into the palace by my mother and can't die in the palace. If you want to kill him, my mother won't care about your father's face."

Xie Shang was shocked. "You are the Queen Mother. Do you know what you are saying? You are going to disregard the dignity of the royal family for a wild man."

"Am I the Queen Mother? Have you ever treated me as the Queen Mother?" the Queen Mother accused. "I have been the Queen for so many years, and has your father ever treated me as the Queen? I am just his tool, and now you are just like your father, treating me like air. If you want to kill him today, just kill me as well! Anyway, I am tired of living alone."

Bai Yuhan originally lived in a side hall. She heard the noise and ran over. She saw Bai Shangwen was also here. Suddenly, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. My third uncle would never dare to do anything to offend the empress dowager."

Xie Shang stared at her face, thinking of what Wu Xin said. These people in front of him made him feel sick: "You entered the palace to compete for the position of queen?"

"I didn't." Bai Yuhan was also frightened by him. "Originally, my third uncle and I were going to leave the palace tomorrow. I don't know where Your Majesty heard these rumors. Please investigate. Although I was born in a merchant family with a humble status, my family has always strictly educated me. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's kind invitation, I would not have entered the palace."

Bai Shangwen knelt on the ground and said, "I really just sent skin cream to the Empress Dowager. Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty."

At this time, Bai Yuhan said, "I want to talk to the emperor alone. Please allow me to do so. It's about the queen."

Xie Shang stared at Bai Yuhan, full of questions. This must be her first time meeting the Queen!

He walked out of the bedroom directly, and Bai Yuhan followed him out. When they reached a deserted place, Xie Shang asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

"I just want to save my third uncle's life. I believe that if he hadn't been bewitched, he wouldn't dare to give skin cream to the Queen Mother." Bai Yuhan said bravely.

Xie Shang had a gloomy expression. What she meant was that it was the Queen Mother who took the initiative to seduce him.

Bai Yuhan continued, "I have heard a lot of rumors these days. Although we met the emperor with the introduction of the queen mother, the emperor never treated me with courtesy, except today when the queen suddenly came to the imperial study and the emperor used me as a shield."
