The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Concubine Yun showed a look of joy, as if she had already seen Shen Qingyan's embarrassed look caused by Gu Beihuai's disgust, and immediately took the lead to greet her.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Gu Beihuai didn't even give her a glance, he walked straight up and helped Shen Qingyan up.

"I heard that you have been looking at the account books for two hours. Are you tired?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head and was about to speak when Concubine Yun took the lead, fearing that she would die too slowly.

"Your Majesty, I was talking to the Empress about the contraceptive soup. The Empress looked in good spirits, so she must not be tired."

Gu Beihuai's expression suddenly tensed up, "Contraceptive soup?"

"Yes." Concubine Yun stepped forward and said loudly, "The Queen has been drinking contraceptive soup for three years. Not only has she returned now, but she has also brought back a child. I am worried about the Queen's health, so I wanted to come and comfort her. I never thought that the Queen would actually send me to Wufeng Mountain to stay for three years..."

When she said the latter part, she suddenly felt aggrieved.

Gu Beihuai's face turned pale and he immediately looked at Shen Qingyan.

He didn't believe it.

But he wanted Shen Qingyan to deny it in person.

"Yan'er, this isn't true, is it?"

Shen Qingyan took a deep breath. This matter would be discovered sooner or later. Instead of letting Concubine Yun succeed, it would be better for her to tell the story.

"Your Majesty, I did drink the contraceptive soup."

There was a flash of surprise in Yun Fei's eyes, but more of it was excitement.

She actually said it herself. Did she think she could be forgiven by relying on the emperor's favor towards her?

Naive and ridiculous!

Since ancient times, the hearts of emperors are hard to predict. They value the country, but they value their offspring even more. As the queen, Shen Qingyan not only failed to expand the royal family as soon as possible, but also drank contraceptive soup. Even if her feelings for the emperor were deep, they would inevitably be diluted by the three years of separation.

Therefore, today Shen Qingyan will definitely not be able to escape the emperor's wrath.

Gu Beihuai was also shocked. His face was cold and stiff. He looked straight into Shen Qingyan's eyes and slowly asked three words.

"why?"

Shen Qingyan didn't intend to hide it. If there was anything, it was better to talk about it. Even if it would cause conflict between the two of them, it was much better than misunderstanding each other.

"Because my body had not fully recovered at that time, I was afraid that my body could not bear the pressure of giving birth again, and I was also afraid that even if I became pregnant, the fetus would have health problems."

This explanation made Gu Beihuai's expression ease a little, but it still contained some disappointment and coldness.

Concubine Yun took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Empress, what you said is wrong. As the emperor's concubines, it is our duty to have many children. However, you acted so selfishly and cruelly just to take care of your own health. This is really not the demeanor of a queen."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Beihuai and said carefully: "Your Majesty, if the Queen's behavior is imitated by other women in the world, wouldn't Tianfeng Kingdom be in chaos?"

When Gu Beihuai heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

"Noisy."

Su Peichang immediately understood and quickly made a gesture of invitation to Concubine Yun.

"Empress Yun, the emperor will handle this matter properly. If you have nothing else to do, you should return to the palace and wait."

Concubine Yun was stunned. She didn't want to leave. She hadn't seen Shen Qingyan being punished yet. How could she be willing to accept this?

So she prepared to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to say one more thing. How could the Queen still get pregnant after drinking so much contraceptive soup? So many things have happened in the past three years..."

"What's more, the Queen is so beautiful and charming. If she were outside the palace, any man would be attracted to her. As for the little princess..."

Before she could finish, Shen Qingyan took action.

A crisp slap landed heavily on Concubine Yun's face.

"what!"

Concubine Yun was caught off guard by the attack. She covered her face and cried out in pain. When she looked up again, there was a clear red palm print on her face.

She couldn't believe that Shen Qingyan dared to attack her in front of the emperor!

Shen Qingyan's voice was cold, filled with warning and chill.

"Empress Yun, you are slandering me without knowing whether to live or die. I can tolerate you living for a while longer, but if you dare to say a single dirty word about Tangtang, I will make you regret having a tongue!"

Meeting Shen Qingyan's frosty and cold eyes, Yun Fei's heart trembled. She no longer had the confident and complacent look she had just had, and instead her eyes were filled with fear.

"Empress, the evidence is irrefutable. Even if you beat me in public, it will be useless. The Emperor will see through everything!"

As she spoke, she observed Gu Beihuai's reaction.

Sure enough, Gu Beihuai glanced at her.

Concubine Yun was delighted, thinking that her words had moved him. She immediately showed a pitiful look, tears streaming down her face as she was about to speak.

"Your Majesty, my concubine..."

However, before she could finish pretending to be weak and pitiful, she saw Gu Beihuai's eyes filled with disgust and anger.

"Su Peichang, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Su Peichang's heart skipped a beat and he no longer cared about etiquette. He hurried forward and pulled Yun Fei to talk.

"Empress Yun, you should go back soon."

Concubine Yun was anxious. Why was it different from what she imagined? Shouldn't the emperor's disgusted eyes and angry look be directed at Shen Qingyan?

Why was she the one who left?

"Your Majesty, I may not have explained it clearly just now. The Empress..."

Su Peichang was completely convinced. Was there something wrong with Concubine Yun's eyes or her ears? How could she not see the emperor's mood at this time?

So he directly covered Yun Fei's mouth with the whisk in his hand, and forcibly dragged her away with two guards.

As soon as Concubine Yun left, the whole room became much quieter.

Qingmei knew something was wrong. It was all because of her. If she had been more cautious at the time, this wouldn't have happened.

She was about to kneel down to explain to Gu Beihuai when she was stopped by Shen Qingyan.

"Qingmei, all of you go down."

Qingmei was a little hesitant, but when she saw that Shen Qingyan had a determined look and Gu Beihuai did not look angry, she withdrew with the other palace maids and eunuchs.

Only Shen Qingyan and Gu Beihuai were left in the room.

Gu Beihuai looked straight into Shen Qingyan's eyes, his voice low and hoarse.

"Yan'er, I am willing to listen to your explanation."

He believed that Shen Qingyan must have other reasons for doing this. They loved each other so much, how could she not want to give birth to his child and even drink the contraceptive soup!

Shen Qingyan met his gaze without any intention of avoiding it.

"Your Majesty, I have already given my explanation."

Gu Beihuai's breathing involuntarily stopped for a moment, and then he chuckled.

A look of disappointment gradually spread in his eyes.

"So, Yan'er doesn't want to have any children with me anymore, right?"

Shen Qingyan was speechless for a moment. Although she vowed at that time that she would never have children again, she also knew that this was impossible. She could avoid it for a while, but not forever.

She thought that after two or three years, when her body recovered and Yuxuan grew up, it would not be too late to get pregnant.

"No."

But Shen Qingyan's silence just now had already caused Gu Beihuai's heart to ache.

"Then Tangtang, how do you explain it?"
