Shen Qingyan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She knew that if she rashly asked, it would only bring trouble to Qingmei and the others.

But she and Gu Beihuai were together almost every day, and she didn't notice anything unusual about him...

It's impossible to hide it from her. Doesn't she know it every time?

But I still have to find out indirectly... I have to think of a perfect way.

After lunch, Shen Qingyan took little Yuxuan to the Imperial Garden to bask in the sun as usual.

Unexpectedly, I happened to see Xuefei and Tangyuan by the lotus pond, bending over and sticking out their buttocks, with their backs facing them, and I don't know what they were busy with.

When Shen Qingyan got closer, she heard the master and servant complaining to each other.

"Tangyuan, the hole you dug is too deep. What if the seeds can't grow?"

"My lady, I have consulted the gardener, and this depth is just right."

Xue Fei was a little unconvinced, "You also said that you were asking for advice from a gardener. Does a gardener know how to grow vegetables?"

Tang Yuan said aggrievedly: "But the gardener is talking about growing vegetables."

Xue Fei snorted and pretended to be angry and scolded her, "Okay, Tangyuan, you dare to talk back to me, I will beat you up."

She just exerted force on her butt and pushed the glutinous rice balls to the side.

"Ouch!"

Tangyuan was caught off guard, stumbled, and immediately fell back.

The master and servant were having a lot of fun, playing with each other. Shen Qingyan curled the corners of her lips when she saw this.

I didn't expect that Princess Xue and her servant were so innocent and interesting, which is rare in this depressing and dull harem.

Qingmei and others laughed softly, and the laughter attracted Tangyuan's attention. She turned around and was immediately shocked.

Xue Fei was completely unaware of this and exerted force again. Tang Yuan was so shocked that he was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xue Fei pointed at her and laughed.

"Tangyuan, you lose."

Tangyuan looked at Shen Qingyan and couldn't speak clearly.

"Mother, the Queen is here."

"what?"

When Xue Fei turned around and saw Shen Qingyan, she sat down on the ground.

"Emperor, Queen..."

Shen Qingyan had a smile in her eyes and was not angry at her impolite behavior just now.

Tang Yuan gritted her teeth and quickly knelt down and crawled over, "Please forgive me, Queen. It was my fault for being playful and leading Queen Xue astray. If you want to punish me, please punish me!"

Concubine Xue quickly pushed her away, "No, it's your concubine..."

"Okay, you two stop arguing. Did I ever say I would punish you?"

Shen Qingyan sighed softly and said with emotion: "In this deep palace, it is rare to have such a lively relationship between you two masters and servants. This is very good."

It seems more vibrant than the flowers blooming in the imperial garden.

Concubine Xue secretly glanced at Shen Qingyan, feeling emotional in her heart.

The Queen Mother is already a child, but she is still extremely beautiful and youthful. At first glance, she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. She is indeed the one favored by the Emperor.

There was just a hint of sadness between his brows, as if he had something on his mind.

So Concubine Xue boldly said, "Empress, I was not like this when I was at home. After coming to the palace, I felt that I had found myself again and became more cheerful."

Shen Qingyan was a little curious, "Why do you say that?"

Concubine Xue rubbed the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly, "Because in the palace I can have enough food and be free..."

And no one would laugh at her or abuse her because of her physical disability...

Shen Qingyan nodded, somewhat understanding Xue Fei's feelings.

Seeing that Xuefei and Tangyuan were still kneeling restrainedly, Shen Qingyan did not disturb their happiness. She praised the two for the land they had reclaimed and the vegetables they had planted and then left.

After Shen Qingyan left, Xue Fei and Tang Yuan looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is not angry, right?" Tangyuan asked carefully.

"Probably not." Concubine Xue patted her chest, still in shock. "The Queen is kind-hearted and good-tempered. She probably won't blame us."

"It's just that the Queen looks a little unhappy."

Tang Yuan whispered, "The Queen's affairs have nothing to do with us. Let's plant the vegetables quickly because it's going to rain soon."

Concubine Xue nodded, "It just so happens that we will go back and prepare to go home in a while. I didn't expect that the Queen would be so gracious as to allow us to stay in the palace for so long and have a chance to go home."

In fact, Xue Fei didn't want to go back to the home that was full of hostility towards her, but she missed her grandmother, the only one who was kind to her.

And after leaving the palace, you can go shopping in the market and buy your favorite food, how nice.

Just as Xuefei and Tangyuan finished planting the vegetables, it started to rain.

"My lady, we have to go back quickly."

Tangyuan used his coat to cover Xuefei's head to protect her from the rain.

The two of them walked quickly and were about to reach the palace gate when an accident happened.

Xue Fei slipped and fell backwards.

"Miss!"

Tangyuan hurried to help him, but unexpectedly he fell down too.

The back of Xue Fei's head hit the ground heavily.

Before she lost consciousness, she was still thinking, if she had known earlier, she would have eaten less, so that Tangyuan could still support her...

At the same time, Zhaohua Palace.

"My lady, it's raining outside."

Shen Qingyan looked at the rain curtain that quickly formed under the eaves, and her heart was slightly moved.

Every spring rain brings warmth, and the weather will only get warmer in the future.

Just then, a young eunuch came hurriedly to report.

"Empress, Concubine Xue has fallen on her head and is in critical condition. I'm afraid..."

"what?"

Shen Qingyan stood up immediately.

Then he went to Yaochun Palace in the rain. However, before he reached the gate of Yaochun Palace, his feet suddenly slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.

As luck would have it, my head landed on the ground.

Since Qingmei was busy holding the umbrella for her, Zhiqing was about to help her tie her cloak, but no one was able to support her.

Before losing consciousness, Shen Qingyan was still wondering why the damn ground was so slippery...

*

Half an hour later.

The entire Zhaohua Palace seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and even though the rain had stopped, it could not dispel the atmosphere.

All the palace servants in Zhaohua Palace knelt on the ground, including Qingmei, Zhiqing and others.

Gu Beihuai glanced at everyone coldly, his face was as cold as frost, making people feel cold.

The cold voice was like a sharp sword, and every word could pierce everyone's heart.

"If anything happens to Yan'er, I will let all of you be buried with her."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman on the bed suddenly moved.

Xue Fei slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the unfamiliar bed curtains.

It was gorgeous and soft, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not something that her palace could afford.

Where is this?

She turned her head slightly and saw a handsome and stern man in a bright yellow robe...

Wait, bright yellow!

Xue Fei was so frightened that she almost rolled off the bed.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to your Majesty!"

Even if your head hurts, you still have to struggle to get up.

But the next moment, a pair of strong arms restrained her arms, making her unable to move.

"Yan'er, your injury has not healed yet, don't move."

Yan, Yan'er? The emperor called her Yan'er?

Xue Fei was like being struck by lightning. It took her a long time to react and she slowly looked around.
