The emperor said nothing, his cold eyes wandering over Concubine Zhao.

The queen leaned over to drink the tea, her eyes narrowed sarcastically.

What? Can I be forgiven for being crazy?

Then should she, the eldest prince, Concubine Ruan, the second prince, Concubine Chen, the third prince, the second prince, and Concubine Chen be forgiven for having suffered those crimes for no reason?

Although she was not a good queen, that was because she had not done anything wrong. If she didn't punish Concubine Zhao, who turned the harem upside down for her own selfish reasons, who would?

In other words, since Zhao Zhilan didn't give her, the queen, any face, she naturally didn't need to give Zhao Zhilan any face!

Therefore, after the queen finished her tea, she moved closer to the emperor and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Princess Mo just told me something about the Grand Duke. I don't know if I should tell you."

The emperor was upset and glanced at the queen impatiently, "If you want to say it, just say it. Why are you hesitating? If I don't agree, you really won't say it, right?"

The queen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What a bastard emperor, he only uses her as a punching bag. Look at how he treats Concubine Zhao. He has spoiled her to such an extent!

But she remained calm, "Since the emperor has allowed me to speak, then I will speak."

The queen had a blank expression on her face, but in fact she was overjoyed. “Princess Mo’s medical skills are recognized by everyone in Nan Zhao, so we’d rather believe what she says than not believe it.

It was only when those chattering palace maids mentioned this matter that I made up my mind to say that the Grand Duke was born with six fingers. This is a genetic inheritance. Only when one of the mother or the blood relative has six fingers can a child with six fingers be born. I wonder what the emperor thinks of this situation?"

After the Queen finished speaking, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were completely stunned, as if they were possessed by something dirty, and they were unable to recover.

After a while, the emperor's face was visibly gloomy and terrifying. The empress dowager felt a little numb in her calves when she saw it. She swallowed her saliva and asked dryly, "Empress, you don't mean to say that the Grand Duke is not the emperor's son, right?"

The emperor suddenly shouted, "Close the door! Except for the Queen Mother and the Empress, all the others get out!"

The emperor had not forbidden anyone to talk about Concubine Zhao's conspiracy against other concubines and princes, but now that his dignity as a man was at stake, he could not stand it and drove out all the palace servants, including his most trusted eunuch Huang.

Before leaving, Xiao Xuanzi asked her father-in-law in a low voice whether Concubine Zhao and the Grand Duke were also to be taken away, since the Emperor had only named the Empress and the Queen Mother.

Eunuch Huang glared at his adopted son with wide eyes, "Are you stupid? If you don't keep the crazy and stupid trick to vent your anger on His Majesty, what will His Majesty do? Do you want His Majesty to vent his anger on the Queen Mother or the Empress?"

Therefore, Lady Zhao wanted to leave, pretending to be crazy while looking for an opportunity, but she was like a mosquito and could not leave.

The door of the main hall closed. The heavy sound of the door closing seemed to have locked Lady Zhao in hell...

She fell to the ground, holding the child in her arms, her face already pale.

Three completely different lines of sight were faintly shot from above the palace. Lady Zhao did not dare to look directly at any of them. She just pretended to be stupid and huddled in a corner with the Grand Duke in her arms.

The Grand Duke didn't understand these things, he just felt that his mother was very scared, so he reached out his hand and clumsily wiped the tears from her face, and said in a soft voice, "Mother, don't be afraid, Jia Jia is with you, mother is not afraid of the dark, and Jia Jia is not afraid of the dark either."

She thought that when Aunt Zhao heard the door close, she shuddered because she was afraid of the dark.

The emperor retracted his gaze, trying to hold back the sour and stinging feeling in his eyes, and grabbed the queen's arm.

"Empress! Explain to me clearly, what does it mean that six fingers are hereditary? Do you know anything?"

The queen saw that the emperor was confused, mad and frustrated at the moment, and he certainly couldn't remember her unreasonableness, so without any consideration, she pushed the annoyed emperor away. Her tone was not gloating, but also relieved.

"Your Majesty is wise. Is there any need to ask this? The late emperor did not have six fingers, and neither did the empress dowager. As for Concubine Zhao's family background, it is clear in the files of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are all normal. If they were not normal, then when the concubines were retained, it would not have been Zhao Zhilan's turn."

"You mean... you mean... no!"

The emperor couldn't believe it and tried to pinch the queen's shoulders, but the queen dodged him.

He immediately became like an ant on a hot pot, looking for a target to vent his anger on. His eyes slowly moved from the Queen Mother to Concubine Zhao and the Grand Duke in the corner, and he walked over step by step with an expression like an Asura.

Lady Zhao was so frightened that she turned pale and hugged the duke, wanting to escape. However, when she was panicked, her feet were out of control, so she stumbled and fell flat on her face behind the door.

Now he was caught up by the emperor!

Empress Zhao shouted at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, please don't, don't kill me! The Grand Duke is your child, she is the child that I have been thinking about with the prince!"

The emperor's eyes were blazing with fire, and he shrugged his shoulders violently, "The truth is out now, you bastard are really just pretending to be crazy! Grand Duchess? Ridiculous, she is not my Grand Duchess, she is a bastard! Zhao Zhilan, I will make you regret it, why aren't you really crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand as hard as an iron clamp, pinched Zhao's delicate neck with such ferocity that the bones turned white.

With a gentle lift, Aunt Zhao was hung against the door. Her whole body was suspended in the air and her face quickly turned red due to lack of oxygen.

His legs were kicking in the air as if he was tying himself up.

The Grand Duke, who was not even as tall as her calf, looked at all this in amazement, not understanding why he, who was usually so gentle and kind to her, had now turned into a devil.

But she knew that the emperor was bullying his mother.

So after a brief moment of surprise and hesitation, Benben rushed forward and hugged the emperor's legs, crying and begging in a baby voice, "Your Majesty, don't... don't, Jiajia, please, let... let go, mother is in pain!"

The one-year-old child couldn't speak a complete sentence, but she understood everything in her heart. As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls.

Empress Zhao looked down at the child, probably thinking that this was the end of her life, so she struggled and said something that was asking for death.

"Jia...Jia, mother, I will not regret it!"

"Okay! Okay, okay!"

The emperor went completely mad. He laughed loudly twice and kicked the grand duke away. The little duke endured the merciless kick and rolled on the ground for several times before he finally came to a stop.

The little fair face showed a look of pain, and tears quickly gathered in the eyes.

The emperor, however, acted as if he could not see it. He increased the strength in his hands, leaving no room for maneuver, wishing he could break Concubine Zhao's neck right before his eyes!

"You lecherous bastard, you are courting death, I will spare you! Not only will I spare you, I will also make sure you are not alone on your way to the underworld, I will also make sure your adulterer and whore accompany you on your way to the underworld!"

Generally, it is a great shame and humiliation for a man to be cuckolded, let alone the emperor who rules the world.

But in the end, the queen intervened and prevented the emperor from killing him personally.

"Your Majesty, you used your hands to review the twists and turns, establish the country, and kill treacherous ministers, but you definitely didn't use them to teach a lesson to such a whore and a vicious woman."

"Besides, we still haven't found out who the adulterer is, right?"

As the queen, this is her duty. It doesn't matter what the emperor does. She has always been conscientious and worthy of being the queen of the royal family.
