Staring at the woman in the painting, the queen's face changed drastically and became extremely ugly in an instant.

I didn't expect that there would be such a stunningly beautiful woman in the world. Her appearance is perfect and there is not even a single flaw to be found.

Those sparkling peach blossom eyes, coupled with that red mole, make her as charming as a fairy.

This woman is so beautiful and charming, she is so beautiful that she doesn't seem like an ordinary person, and people dare not look at her directly.

If the emperor finds her, who in the harem can compare to her?

The queen suddenly felt a sense of crisis and looked at the painting in her hand with vicious eyes.

She must get rid of this woman before the emperor finds her.

Holding the painting, I used force with my fingertips, and wrinkles appeared on the painting.

The emperor also remembered the painting on the bed and walked into the inner room in shock.

Seeing the painting in the Queen's hands, he stepped forward, snatched it away, and examined it carefully.

Seeing the wrinkle, the emperor's brows were filled with anger.

This change shocked the queen. It was just a painting, but the emperor took it so seriously that he even had to look at it while sleeping.

He stared at the queen with a cold gaze, his brows filled with an unbreakable chill: "Who allowed you to touch my things?"

The Queen's nose felt sore, and she felt extremely distressed. "Is this woman the one the Emperor is looking for? Is that why he doesn't want to touch me?"

The queen sadly went forward and hugged Xiao Hongyu, but was pushed to the ground.

The queen's eyes were immediately covered with mist, and a strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart.

As a queen, she could not ask for sex from her husband like a prostitute. Her actions just now were already bold.

But she was rejected by the emperor in such a way, which made her very embarrassed.

"Do you still remember that you are the queen? Don't come here unless summoned in the future."

The Queen cried, "Your Majesty, do you still remember my brother? You promised my brother that you would treat me well."

The emperor looked at the queen and for the first time regretted agreeing to let the Jiang family enter the palace.

There are many ways to repay a favor, and you don't have to marry her.

If you keep using favors as a threat like this, no matter how much favor you have, it will all be worn out.

Looking at the queen, the emperor's expression was no longer as indulgent as before.

He said coldly: "Have you forgotten that I am the sovereign and your brother is the subject?"

"If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. To take the knife for me is his mission. I don't owe him anything."

"Hasn't your Jiang family gained enough over the years because of this? If it weren't for me, would your Jiang family be where it is today?"

The queen was stunned and looked at the emperor as if she was meeting him for the first time, and then an indignant expression appeared on her face.

He even spoke without restraint: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten how you got the throne? Can the merits and loyalty of my Jiang family be erased by a few casual words from your Majesty?"

"If my brother hadn't taken the knife for you, he wouldn't have died."

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her with a cold expression: "Your family's contribution? Okay, I'll give you a chance to tell me."

"Your Majesty, you are sitting comfortably in this position because my brother has been guarding the border towns for you, killing countless enemies, conquering the northwest, expanding the territory, and risking his life."

"My Jiang family is full of loyal ministers, but I can't even win the favor of the emperor?"

The emperor took two steps and stood in front of the queen, looking down at the queen who was holding her head high and looking dissatisfied.

Under this captivating imperial aura, the queen finally realized what she had said: "Your Majesty, your humble concubine..."

But he was ruthlessly interrupted by the emperor: "It seems that being in a high position for so long has made you, the Jiang family, forget your duty. You are greedy and want more."

"For me, you say? Are you sure you're not trying to climb to a higher position?"

"Your father, a mere fifth-rank minister, rose to the position of the second-rank Zhenbei General because of my promotion."

"Your brother is so young, it's his duty to become General Guangwei and conquer the northwest to win battles for me."

"Now, you are talking to me about loyal ministers, merits, and kindness?" The emperor looked at the queen with contempt.

The queen shrugged her shoulders, looked dejected and dazed, and said nothing.

Looking at the emperor, she finally understood what stupid things she had said. She had been sitting on the throne of queen for too long and had forgotten her origins.

If this incident makes the emperor disgusted with the Jiang family, then she will be a sinner of the Jiang family.

Shaking her head, the queen knelt down and grabbed the emperor's trouser legs, crying and begging, "Your Majesty, it was I who said the wrong thing. It was I who spoke nonsense."

She shouldn't treat the emperor as an ordinary husband. Emperors have always been ruthless.

She had just threatened him.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time for the sake of my many years of service."

"The Queen is under house arrest for a month and is not allowed to go out without being summoned. She must learn the rules well."

This matter was over, and the Queen dared not have any opinions. She just hoped that the Emperor would quickly forget what had happened.

After putting on her clothes, the queen left in shame.

After the queen left, the emperor could no longer sit still. He took the crumpled painting back to the table and smoothed it out anxiously.

It seemed that only this could soothe his empty heart.

The next day.

The news that the queen was confined to her room for delivering midnight snacks to the emperor spread throughout the harem.

Everyone started to laugh at the queen, and the concubines who had been bullied by the queen were secretly happy.

Although the queen cannot leave Kunning Palace, there are many spies in the harem.

She remembered every one of these concubines who watched her show.

But she didn't have time to deal with this matter now because there were more important things waiting for her to do.

She called her confidant, Madam Rong, and asked her to take out the painting she had drawn last night after she came back without sleeping.

"Go, give the portrait to your father and tell him to find this girl and kill her."

"yes."

The other concubines in the harem are not a threat, but this woman is. No matter what the cost, this woman must die.

If you want to blame someone, blame her for her appearance of being a beauty that brings disaster. The cruelty in the queen's eyes is clearly visible.

Little did she know that the person who made her so wary had already dressed up as a concubine and arrived at the palace gate.

In the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Lord Xu and Xu Yurou looked at Xu Jinyi with guilt on their faces, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"Third sister, I'm sorry to ask you to go to the audition in my place. If you really don't want to..."

Looking at her beautiful sister, Xu Yurou suddenly felt sorry for her. Thinking of the emperor's age, she suddenly felt like a bad person.

Xu Jinyi couldn't give her a chance to regret: "Sister, I volunteered to enter the palace for you. You don't have to feel guilty. Besides, the emperor may not keep me."

After coming back these few days, Xu Jinyi had gained enough favor in front of the father and daughter, so this happened.

Xu Yurou was not stupid. She knew that Xu Jinyi was trying to comfort her. With her beauty, any emperor who was not stupid would keep her.

When Xu Jinyi came back from the mountain, Xu Yurou felt a flash of jealousy in her heart.
