Therefore, when Emperor Zhao returned, she did not go to greet him as eagerly as before, for she was afraid that if she was present and did not plead for mercy when the Empress Dowager dealt with Liu, it would affect her image in Emperor Zhao's heart.

She waited and waited, but what she waited for was not Liu's head falling to the ground, but the Queen Mother hugged Liu and called her her darling!

"Your Majesty..."

Nanny Zhu and the maid Cui Si saw the Queen's twisted and gloomy expression and hurried forward to comfort her: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health, and it's only you who are hurting yourself!"

"My Lady, even if you are so angry that you feel uncomfortable, the Demon Concubine will not lose a piece of flesh, so please don't be angry."

…

"Why?"

The Empress, who was being comforted by the two, was full of confusion and resentment: "Why, for seventeen years, I have diligently served the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager has never called me baby?

And the Queen Mother doted on the Concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Could it be because she was pregnant with a dragon heir?

“…”

After hearing this, Nanny Zhu and Cuisi both understood that the biggest reason why Concubine Yue was so favored by the Queen Mother was that she was pregnant with His Majesty's child.

However, the Queen Mother is very angry now, and they dare not say these words.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You will be attending the celebration banquet later as the Queen Mother of Zhao!"

Nanny Zhu rolled her eyes a few times and reminded hurriedly.

"Yes, my lady, even if the Demon Concubine is favored, she is still just a concubine. Aren't you the queen of our Great Zhao Kingdom?"

Trish also followed Nanny Zhu into the circle.

"Yes, I am the queen, I am the queen!"

After hearing what the two said, the Queen's mood finally calmed down a little.

However, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be looking forward to the celebration banquet in the evening...
