Chapter 781: The Wronged Queen vs. the Scheming Bitch (8)

Rui'er's death was a great blow to Shi Yi.

She felt that her outlook on life was somewhat shattered.

There was such a cruel father in this world!

She wanted Emperor Min to die more and more.

Emperor Min thought that the Queen would take revenge or become depressed because of the death of her beloved son, but he did not expect that the Queen would quickly adjust her mood and even come to his palace to ask for favor.

For the sake of her dead son, he was willing to give her such respect once or twice.

However, Yinghua was panicked because of the one or two "respects" he gave to the Queen.

She could have children all the time, but she must not be less favored by the emperor.

After a sleepless night, she came up with a good idea to grab all the favors of the emperor.

Emperor Min accidentally heard the palace maids talking about how no one knew about the birthday banquet of Queen Yinghua, and he was furious. He ordered the inner court to hold a grand and respectable birthday banquet for his beloved.

After Yinghua "knew" about this, she tried to comfort Emperor Min, saying that she didn't want to be in the limelight.

Emperor Min felt even more distressed about her.

She had been in the palace for so long, but she had not been able to become the queen. Now she was so cautious when holding a birthday party for her. There was no trace of the high-spirited and energetic appearance of a talented woman in the past.

Therefore, he expanded the scale of her birthday party and invited civil and military officials to attend.

In order to warn the queen, he issued an oral decree that they must attend.

Shi Yi certainly knew the real purpose of Yinghua's birthday party.

But she also had her own purpose.

Therefore, although she was unhappy with Emperor Min's dominance, she still attended.

At the birthday party, Yinghua, who sat next to Emperor Min as an exception, was dressed particularly fresh and lovely. If she hadn't kept her hand on her belly, no one would have noticed that she was pregnant. Shi

Yi, who was sitting on the left side of Emperor Min, didn't even bother to look in her direction.

In the eyes of others, it seemed that the queen was dissatisfied with Yinghua's favor and was jealous.

Duan Mulian sat at the table, not even looking at the Empress Yinghua who was the center of attention. He only glanced at the Empress whose eyes were filled with unhappiness from time to time.

If possible, he wished he could be by her side to comfort her.

However, he had too many things to do recently.

He had no spare time to go to the palace to comfort her.

The Prime Minister coughed twice, and when he saw his youngest son come back to his senses, the discomfort in his heart was relieved a lot.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his youngest son's attention to the Empress was a little too much.

The youngest son was not even twenty years old, and the Empress was already thirty-four years old. The difference was not just one or two years.

It seemed that he still had to arrange the marriage of his youngest son to avoid causing more trouble.

Yinghua drank a glass of fruit wine, and held Emperor Min's hand dizzily, and acted like a spoiled child, saying that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the palace to rest.

Emperor Min glanced to the left, very dissatisfied with the Empress's indifference today, and forced the Empress to pour wine for her beloved.

Shi Yi confronted him directly in front of all the ministers, "In this world, people only know that concubines should respect the queen, but I have never heard of the queen condescending to pour wine for a concubine."

Seeing his beloved blushing, Emperor Min clenched his fists tightly, and his dislike for the queen increased.

Yinghua stood up with a swagger, and was helped by her personal maid to leave the table. When she passed by the queen, she suddenly fell down.

"My queen!" The maid screamed heartbreakingly.

"It hurts..." Yinghua covered her stomach, her facial features wrinkled together.

Emperor Min ran over in two steps, pushed away the maid next to him, picked up his beloved concubine, and shouted, "Call the imperial physician!"

"My queen, why did you trip my queen!" The maid knelt on the ground, her makeup was all smudged by tears.

Shi Yi watched the drama between the master and the servant with cold eyes.

She sat here from beginning to end, and had no contact with others.

The civil and military officials and concubines sitting at the banquet looked at the high platform that was big enough to block any movement, and their expressions were all ambiguous.

Only Duan Mulian glared at Yinghua hatefully.

The queen was heartbroken after losing her son, and now she wanted to kill the queen to win favor! Why couldn't Emperor Min see through such a vicious woman!

"Bold queen, you dare to poison concubines in front of me! You are not worthy of being a role model for women! Abolish the position of queen! Banish to the cold palace!" Emperor Min hugged his beloved concubine, and his eyes flew over, wishing he could dig a few holes in Shi Yi's body.

If Yinghua and the child in her belly had any problems, he would definitely not just let her go to the cold palace.

Shi Yi sneered softly, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."

Then, with the help of Yun Duo, he went to the cold palace.

Yinghua wanted the position of queen, so she would give it to her.

Anyway, Emperor Min would not be able to sit on the throne of emperor for a few more days.

Arriving at the cold palace, Shi Yi quickly disguised herself as an ordinary palace maid and left through the secret passage.

After she left, a woman with the same appearance as her walked up to Yun Duo, and Yun Duo respectfully called her master.

Shi Yi came to the border and sneaked into the military camp.

The Dongyue Continent is only a temporary unification. There are many small countries that are dissatisfied, but they dare not challenge due to their national strength. Emperor Min naturally knew this and appointed his best brother Duan Yunheng as a prince of the opposite sex to guard the border.

Of course, she would not provoke a border war for her own selfish reasons.

She wanted to use the power of Duan Yunheng, the King of Border Guard, to give Emperor Min a head-on blow, and then cooperate with the Duanmu family to pull Emperor Min off the stage.

However, Duan Yunheng was still loyal to Emperor Min, so how could she convince him?

This opportunity was unexpectedly delivered to her very soon.

She found out in the military camp that Duan Yunheng and Emperor Min were brothers who grew up together. He had always had a crush on the talented Yinghua, but he hid his crush in his heart because of Emperor Min's face.

Because of the war, Yinghua lost her relatives and became homeless. It was he who found Yinghua first and then sent her to Emperor Min.

Everyone in the military camp praised Duan Yunheng as a real man who was willing to give up his brother, but Shi Yi felt that Duan Yunheng had ulterior motives in sending Yinghua to Emperor Min. She

originally thought that it would be difficult to persuade Duan Yunheng, but after knowing this, she suddenly became less anxious.

What she didn't know was that after she left Kyoto, Duan Mulian went crazy looking for her.

Duan Mulian risked his life to find her on the night she entered the cold palace, but the first time he saw "her", he found something wrong.

The "Queen's" every move, every word and deed were the same as before, and even her temperament had not changed.

However, the feeling she gave him was different from before.

He interrogated Yun Duo, but Yun Duo said nothing.

He boldly shook the "Queen's" hand, and the "Queen" blushed and dodged, and he became more and more certain that his feeling was right.

He immediately left the palace and sent spies from the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for people everywhere.
