Chapter 6 Dealing with the Queen



She held the soup in one hand and walked towards the emperor with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is the soup I made for you. Drink it to warm you up."

The emperor just stared at her, neither raising his hand to take it nor saying a word.

"Why is the emperor staring at me like that?" The queen felt the coldness in his eyes, her smile froze, and she asked with a twitch of her lips.

"Don't the Queen feel that she should apologize to me?" He retracted his gaze and subconsciously patted Yu Yiluo in his arms.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Yu Yiluo no longer felt sleepy.

[You said you endured it yourself. You lied without blushing or breathing heavily. The palace servants carried it all the way in, and you took it in your hands, so it became yours.]

The emperor has become accustomed to it. The concubines in the palace often use this excuse, and he is too lazy to expose them.

"But, I have already..."

Before the queen could finish her words, the emperor raised his hand impatiently to stop her from saying anything.

"You sent ginseng to Concubine Li as an apology, but wasn't it you who caused Luo Luo to become like this? If I had been a little later, would you have killed Concubine Li and her daughter?"

I'm usually too lazy to take care of the harem and I really think he's easy to fool.

The queen put the soup down, knelt on the ground, her eyes sincere and her words earnest.

"I am innocent. I was the one who took care of all the pregnant concubines in the harem, doing everything myself. I am worried about what might happen to the heir. If I really harmed Concubine Li, wouldn't others suspect me first?"

Although he said this, his heart was filled with horror.

The emperor found out about her so quickly. Could it be that Doctor Xu confessed?

Yes, yes, yes. You personally cared for the child, but ended up using drugs to turn the unborn prince into a freak. Then, on the day of birth, you killed both the mother and child. You've taken care of them all, and yet the harem praises you for being kind and benevolent. You're truly a bunch of fools, counting the money after being sold.

The emperor thought about it and it seemed to be just as Luo Luo said. The concubines that the queen took care of were either crazy or gave birth to monsters or stillborn babies.

Just as he was about to say something, Yu Yiluo's inner voice rang out again.

[Look at your sincere face. I'm afraid the tyrant will believe it again. After all, you are his good queen. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that his good queen has no children herself and doesn't want other concubines to have children. She is so jealous.]

Before the emperor could recover from the previous thunder, Yu Yiluo set off another thunder.

What do you mean the queen has no children of her own? Then whose is the prince?

Is it really that miserable to be an emperor? You are exhausted every day handling government affairs, and then you are called a tyrant by your newborn baby.

Now the prince who has good moral character also has a problem with his background. What sin has he committed?

"Doctor Xu has confessed everything," the Emperor calmed down and looked at the Queen lying on the ground. "What have you done? Do I need to send someone to confront you face to face?"

The queen's expression changed, her back, which had been kneeling straight, suddenly bent down, her hands hung limply on the floor, and tears rolled down her eyes.

"Since the emperor has already determined that it is me, I have nothing to say. I will let the emperor deal with it."

She knew that no matter how the emperor dealt with her, he would not easily depose her. She was the empress chosen by the late emperor and the mother of the crown prince. If the emperor wanted to depose her, he would have to see whether the people of the world and the civil and military officials agreed.

The Emperor also had some concerns. After a long silence, he said, "The Empress has failed in her moral conduct. The Phoenix Seal and the power to govern the six palaces will be taken away from her. She will be confined to reflect on her mistakes for two months."

The emperor had the queen sent away. He had too many questions in his mind and wanted to get answers from Yu Yiluo, but the little girl had already fallen asleep.

He smiled and looked at her for a while, then handed Yu Yiluo to Eunuch Cao.

"Send the little princess back to Concubine Li, and then go to the Ministry of Justice and convey my oral order, asking them to interrogate Imperial Physician Xu."

After that, he reminded her worriedly, "Be careful when you hold her, don't drop her."

Eunuch Cao nodded and walked out carrying Yu Yiluo.

The emperor dotes on the little princess so much, how could he dare not be careful.

......

Yu Yiluo was sent back to Concubine Li's palace to take a nap. After waking up and drinking milk, she smacked her lips in satisfaction.

[They say beauty is a feast for the eyes, and now I finally understand why. I can never get tired of looking at my mother's beautiful face!]

Concubine Li chuckled and couldn't help but kiss her on the face.

My baby daughter has such a sweet mouth, but I don’t know how her brother is doing.

She looked at Aunt Zhang beside her and said with some concern, "I don't know how my brother is doing. My eyelids have been twitching non-stop today. Aunt, go and find out what happened in the court today."

When Yu Yiluo heard this, she started to worry again.

[I'm so annoyed. I really want to tell my beautiful mother that my uncle is fine now and tell her not to worry.]

Concubine Li patted her head and said softly, "With Luo'er, your lucky star, here, I believe brother will be fine."

Yu Yiluo quickly nodded in agreement.

[Yes, uncle is fine. Is this the way my mother and I are so connected?]

Aunt Zhang came back in about a cup of tea.

Tell Concubine Li what you have found out.

Concubine Li was looking for an excuse to listen to her precious daughter's thoughts, so she was not surprised at all.

However, Aunt Zhang was genuinely happy, and she even deliberately kept the other person in suspense after she finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, today is truly a day of joyful events. I also heard another story."

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and looked like she was listening attentively.

"Oh, what makes Mammy so happy?"

There was no one else in the bedroom, so Nanny Zhang didn't mind.

"I heard that the Empress was stripped of her power over the six palaces and sentenced to two months of confinement. The Emperor also had Doctor Xu brought in for questioning. Now everyone in the harem is talking about this."

Others didn't know what the queen had done to the little princess, but she knew it clearly and knew that it must be the emperor who was seeking justice for the little princess.

Yu Yiluo didn't take it seriously and lay on the bed looking at the purple bed curtains.

The queen has lost the right to manage the harem, and she doesn't know who the tyrant will let take charge.

While he was thinking, the sound of the emperor's arrival was heard.

Concubine Li and Aunt Zhang bowed, but before they could ask the emperor why he came, they saw him walking straight towards the large carved bed, raising his hand to hug Yu Yiluo who was crying on the bed.

"Your Majesty, no."

Concubine Li stopped him and explained softly, "You came from outside and are feeling cold. I'm afraid Luo'er will catch a cold."

Although my daughter is mentally mature, she is still a baby physically and she knows how painful it is to be sick.

The emperor was not angry and withdrew his hand.

"I was inconsiderate."

Then he waved to Eunuch Cao, "Let them carry the things in!"

Concubine Li blinked in confusion, and then saw several young eunuchs carrying things coming in one after another.

The four people in front carried an exquisite and gorgeous crib, and the people behind each carried a box.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

The emperor walked forward with his hands behind his back and pointed at the crib, "These are for Luo Luo, Concubine Li, keep them well."

Yu Yiluo was originally still crying loudly, but when she heard this, she immediately pricked up her ears.
