The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Shen Qingyan's heart was suddenly lifted up, and her face was full of worry and anxiety.

"Shuofeng, tell me clearly, is Zhiyu alive or dead?"

Shuofeng suppressed the grief in his heart and tried to keep his tone calm.

"Zhiyu... is still alive, but the tendons in her hands and feet are all broken, and her tongue... is also gone."

His eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were unconsciously clenched, and his cheeks were slightly bulging due to the force, as if even the air was trembling in his anger.

He dared to conclude that the man must have done it on purpose, deliberately torturing Zhiyu like this, and then sending her back to provoke...

Shen Qingyan's breathing stagnated slightly and she could hardly believe her ears.

I can’t even imagine what Zhiyu, who is usually lively and bright, has become now.

"Your Majesty, I want to go see Zhiyu."

Shen Qingyan's eyes gradually turned red, and tears hung on her long eyelashes. Every time she blinked, tears rolled down.

Gu Beihuai understood her feelings better than anyone else, but Shen Qingyan's current condition was not suitable for contact with blood. Moreover, it was not yet clear whether Zhiyu wanted to harm her, so he did not tell her.

So he held Shen Qingyan's shoulders and coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you or the people around you. Besides, Zhiyu has the imperial physician here and he will definitely not let anything happen to her. And if Zhiyu knew you were pregnant and went to see her in person, she would definitely be flattered and terrified, which would be even more detrimental to your treatment."

Shen Qingyan understood that what he said made sense, but her heart was still hanging in the air and couldn't settle down.

"Be good and listen." Gu Beihuai gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, which was very comforting.

At this moment, Su Peichang's voice came from far away.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Lord Pei that an important clue has been found."

Gu Beihuai frowned, and his expression became a little stern.

"Yan'er, I'm going to take a look and will be back soon. Wait for me obediently and don't run around."

Before leaving, he gave Qingmei and the others a few cold instructions.

Now, even if they found out something, they wouldn't dare to say anything to Shen Qingyan.

As soon as Gu Beihuai left, Shen Qingyan sighed softly and complained helplessly.

"The Emperor is almost raising me like a canary. I'm not a porcelain doll that can't be touched or dropped."

Qingmei immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor loves you to the core and is afraid that you will be hurt in the slightest."

"How can I be so weak?" Shen Qingyan muttered softly, and asked Qingmei, "By the way, what did you mean when you said that Zhiyu was in danger? But her injuries were too serious?"

Qingmei was about to open her mouth when she remembered Gu Beihuai's instructions and quickly stopped talking.

"Slave, slave cannot speak."

Qingmei couldn't lie, but she had to answer her master's questions, so she had no choice but to be honest.

Shen Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was about to ask Zhiqing, but this girl acted smart and immediately said politely, "The tea is cold. I'll go and change it for new one," and then she slipped away.

You can’t say it, even if you are beaten to death, otherwise you will die a miserable death.

Shen Qingyan was extremely angry. Gu Beihuai was really a good guy. He not only controlled her, but also her maids.

No, it seems that she has to take back the dominant position as soon as possible in the future, otherwise she will be controlled by him for the rest of her life.

Although she was angry, Shen Qingyan still knew her limits and did not make a fuss about going to the Qinnu Palace.

She tried not to cause trouble for the unborn child.

Shen Qingyan stroked her visibly bulging belly and whispered, "My dear, you must do your best and be born safely. Mother will not go anywhere and will definitely protect you well."

After mumbling for a long time, Shen Qingyan was tired. Although she was drowsy, she still forced herself to wait for news from Gu Beihuai.

As a result, Gu Beihuai didn't wait for the person, but instead waited for an uninvited guest.

Yu Hongyan stayed quiet for a short while before she could no longer hold back.

So, after being stopped by the guards at the door, he started shouting loudly.

"Empress Zhao, I'm sure you know about Zhiyu's current situation, right? But you still don't know about her using voodoo dolls to harm people, right?"

Although the guards stopped her, they couldn't stop her from speaking.

Qingmei wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Shen Qingyan had already walked out, and when she saw Yu Hongyan's determined look, she knew that she was here to cause trouble.

Now that she's here, we can't let her come in vain.

Want to stir up trouble? Let's see if she can do it.

"I was wondering who was barking here, it turned out to be Concubine Yan."

Yu Hongyan thought that Shen Qingyan would immediately ask her anxiously about Zhiyu's situation, but she never expected that she would make a sarcastic remark as soon as she came up.

Stay calm, Shen Qingyan said this but she was just pretending to be calm, but in fact she must have been extremely anxious in her heart, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Hongyan was not so angry anymore. She opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Shen Qingyan.

"Lady Yan, it's windy outside, let's talk inside."

Yu Hongyan was very proud in her heart. She thought Shen Qingyan was just so stubborn, but she was nothing special.

However, as soon as she took a step toward the door, she was stopped by Qingmei, who only spoke politely.

"Noble Lady Yan, before entering Zhaohua Palace, please cooperate with the routine inspection."

Yu Hongyan sneered. Are you so cautious? You are really timid.

She opened her arms and said impatiently, "You want to search me, right? Go ahead and search me. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Qingmei finished the body search quickly, and Yu Hongyan thought that was enough, but Zhiqing stopped her again.

"Please come this way, my noble lady. You need to enter Zhaohua Palace and bathe, change clothes and burn incense."

Yu Hongyan almost couldn't catch her breath. Looking at Shen Qingyan's calm expression, her words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Is this necessary? Don't worry, I'm not here to harm you. I just want to tell you what I know, that's all. If you're worried, then tell me here."

Shen Qingyan smiled slightly, her expression showing no emotion.

"Of course it is necessary. Anyone who enters Zhaohua Palace will do the same."

Yu Hongyan couldn't help but choked.

"Why, is it the same even if the Emperor comes in?"

Shen Qingyan's gentle smile was like a knife, stabbing back directly.

"Do you think the emperor is an outsider?"

"..."

Yu Hongyan choked for a moment and changed her strategy.

"Then I can talk here, right?"

Qingmei still looked respectful, but her tone left no room for doubt.

"No, our queen is pregnant and cannot stand the cold wind. But if Concubine Yan feels that her voice is loud enough, you can speak here and our queen will just listen in the palace."

If she stood at the gate of Zhaohua Palace and shouted, people would think she was a fool...

What's more, what she said was deliberately hidden from Shen Qingyan by Gu Beihuai. Gu Beihuai was called in for important matters, so she couldn't even be a palace maid, let alone a noble lady.
