The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

When Concubine Yun heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Although she had not been in the palace for long, they all knew that Queen Shen Qingyan was very virtuous and gentle, and did not like to meddle in other people's affairs.

I thought she wouldn't join in the fun, but I didn't expect that she would also go to visit Xue Fei.

Concubine Yun was delighted. She was sure that Concubine Xue was not sick and might be hiding somewhere to eat secretly. If the Queen could catch her in the act and find out that she was lying, she would definitely not let her off!

She had long disliked Xue Fei, the fat pig who only cared about eating. If she could get rid of her, she would not only be much happier, but also have one less competitor.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yun immediately pushed aside Qingmei who was supporting Shen Qingyan and took over her position diligently.

"Your Majesty, I will support you..."

How could Shen Qingyan not see what she was thinking? She withdrew her hand calmly.

Oh, you want to get her on the same side? Sorry, don't get involved.

Yun Fei felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked at her other arm without a palm.

An indescribable feeling of bitterness and anger suddenly welled up in my heart.

She had this disability from her mother's womb. Although her family didn't dislike her for it, she would feel like someone was laughing at her if they looked at her arm for even a second.

Therefore, in her eyes, Shen Qingyan's rejection became a silent mockery.

Concubine Yun pulled her arms back into her sleeves, and her intact right hand tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She stared at Shen Qingyan's back, and hatred flashed in her eyes.

Shen Qingyan only felt a chill on her back, but when she turned around, Concubine Yun was still smiling.

Shen Qingyan didn't think much about it and soon arrived at Yaochun Palace with everyone else.

Concubine Xue's maid Tangyuan was so frightened that she was trembling with fear. She dared not even breathe, but unexpectedly she was called out by Concubine Yun.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take us to see Concubine Xue? Didn't you even inform your master that the Empress is coming?"

Tang Yuan shrank his neck and said quickly, "I will pass it on right away."

However, not long after, Tangyuan came out with a panicked look on his face.

"My Queen, this is terrible. My mistress is missing!"

what?

Shen Qingyan narrowed her eyes. A living person who was still sick disappeared?

"Qingmei, pass on my order to dispatch a team of imperial guards to search for the whereabouts of Concubine Xue."

"Yes."

Tangyuan looked a little flustered, but didn't dare to say much.

Concubine Yun was gloating on the side, and deliberately asked Tang Yuan, "Is your mistress hiding somewhere to steal food? I advise you to tell her before the guards find her, otherwise you should know what the consequences will be."

After that, he said to Shen Qingyan: "Empress, in my opinion, Concubine Xue's greedy nature must mean she is pretending to be sick..."

Shen Qingyan glanced over coldly and said, "Why don't you be the queen?"

Concubine Yun's expression froze, and it took her a long time to react. She quickly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. That is not what I meant."

Shen Qingyan looked at her coldly, her tone devoid of any warmth.

"Then shut up."

Concubine Yun trembled with fear and stopped talking, and the others also remained silent.

Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart. Normally, she was too lazy to act majestic, and some people really treated her as a formality and let them do whatever they wanted.

Concubine Yun was not convinced, but she dared not believe it, and her hatred towards Shen Qingyan became even stronger.

Soon, the guards returned.

"Your Majesty, I found Concubine Xue by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden and have brought her here."

The figure of Princess Xue came into everyone's sight.

She looked disheveled, her purple dress was covered with grass and dust, and her round face was especially covered in black dust.

After seeing Shen Qingyan, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Please spare my life, Queen. I know I was wrong."

As she cried, tears flowed down her cheeks, leaving gray tear marks.

Shen Qingyan took a sip of tea without changing her expression. After she finished crying and begging for mercy, he asked calmly, "What's going on?"

Xue Fei secretly glanced at her face, and seeing that she was not angry, she whispered.

"I am really ill..."

Shen Qingyan looked calm and exposed her lie with one sentence, "So, there is medicine in the Imperial Garden?"

Someone laughed softly, and Concubine Yun laughed openly, looking at Concubine Xue with a mocking expression.

When Concubine Xue saw Concubine Yun's expression, she became furious.

She must have exposed herself!

But what is more important now is how to respond to Shen Qingyan’s words.

Xue Fei tried hard to find excuses for herself.

"Your Majesty, I am suffering from a relapse of my old illness. I am only looking for useful herbs in the Imperial Garden."

Such a poor reason made Shen Qingyan even more speechless.

"Why, are the doctors in the Imperial Hospital just for show, or do they not have the herbs you like?"

Concubine Xue was completely panicked, and just when she didn't know what to do, the Royal Guards came to report again.

"Your Majesty, I found a grill and some leftover fish bones among the flowers in the Imperial Garden."

Concubine Yun couldn't help but say, "So Concubine Xue's best medicine is grilled fish!"

"I think this old illness is definitely caused by greed."

"Empress, what crime should Concubine Xue be punished for deceiving you like this?"

Shen Qingyan felt uncomfortable listening to her gloating tone.

Since you insist on being the first to take the lead, I will satisfy you.

"What do you think the punishment should be?"

When Concubine Yun heard that the decision-making power was given to her, she immediately became excited.

"Your Majesty, I think that people who knowingly commit crimes against their superiors should have their tongues plucked out and thrown to the dogs."

Shen Qingyan nodded, "That makes sense. Come on, pull out Concubine Yun's tongue and throw it to the dogs."

Concubine Yun was startled and said quickly: "Did the Queen say something wrong? It's not me, it's Concubine Xue..."

Shen Qingyan's eyes were cold and her clear voice was like a sharp knife, stabbing Yun Fei awake.

"Yes, it's you. You keep interrupting me and making self-righteous comments. Isn't this insubordination?"

Concubine Yun’s face turned pale, and she fell to her knees to defend herself.

"Please spare my life, Queen. I know I was wrong. I will never speak nonsense again. Please forgive me this time!"

Shen Qingyan looked down at her, without any sympathy.

"You love to talk, don't you? Why don't you tell me how I'll punish you if I don't pull out your tongue?"

Concubine Yun knew that she could not escape today, and any punishment would be better than having her tongue pulled out.

So I had an idea and thought of the lightest punishment for myself.

"Just, just keep me under house arrest. I will definitely reflect on myself."

Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart. Her mind was quick, but it was a pity that she would not let you get what you wanted.

Concubine Xue was indeed wrong, but if everyone was like Concubine Yun, fanning the flames and guiding public opinion, wouldn't the harem be in chaos?

Moreover, Shen Qingyan had already seen the ambition revealed in her eyes.
