The queen fell to the ground in a daze, her whole body trembling like a leafless tree in the cold winter, her life was in danger.
She never expected that the man whom she had devoted her life to helping the emperor from being an unappreciated prince to an emperor above all others would actually say such words to her.
"Empress, are you okay?" Lian Yiyi came to the Queen's side and stretched out her hand to help her up.
"Get out of my way."
The queen shook off Lian Yiyi's hand, but Lian Yiyi took the opportunity to take a step back and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!" Lian Yiyi cried out in pain.
She looked at the Queen, her eyes filled with mist as she said, "Your Majesty, I was just trying to help you out of kindness. Why are you treating me like this?"
The queen stared at Lian Yiyi without blinking, as if she wanted to stare two holes out of her body.
However, she had seen many such tricks, and even Yiyi's little tricks were just elementary tricks.
She sneered and said, "I just gently shook off your hand, but I didn't expect you to use your Qinggong skills.
Don't you know that you can't use martial arts casually in the imperial palace?"
Lian Yiyi was stunned for a moment. She thought that by doing this, the queen would become furious and then furious with her, and in this way she would gain the emperor's sympathy.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
The surprise on Lian Yiyi's face flashed away, and soon her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know any martial arts at all."
"Perhaps you know it yourself? Could it be that the emperor cannot see your tricks?" The queen got up from the ground.
"Your Majesty, I cannot imagine why you would keep such a scheming person in the palace. If it's just because she looks a bit like Concubine Gu Shu, I don't think she is even one ten-thousandth as good as Concubine Gu Shu."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Lian Yiyi didn't expect that the queen, who looked stupid, would have such means.
She looked at the emperor in panic and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to..."
The emperor waved his hand, he didn't want to listen to Lian Yiyi's explanation.
These things happened frequently during the twenty years that he was emperor. He had seen too many dramas of jealousy and strife.
"I've seen your tricks too many times. No wonder even someone as stupid as the queen can see through them." The emperor walked to Lian Yiyi, lifted her chin, and looked at her fiercely.
The emperor was usually very kind to her, but she felt a little carried away.
Now the emperor looked at Lian Yiyi with a majestic look, which frightened her so much that she trembled and her voice trembled: "Your Majesty..."
"You must remember, in this palace, I can pamper you or put you to death. You'd better not use these tricks in front of Concubine Gu Shufei, otherwise you will only end up dead." The emperor said, shaking off his hand.
Lian Yiyi fell to the ground.
"My dear, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
In the blink of an eye, the emperor returned to his previous doting expression and helped Lian Yiyi up from the ground.
Lian Yiyi suddenly started to get scared.
It is said that serving a king is like serving a tiger. The man in front of her is ferocious and terrifying, and his emotions are even more changeable. She has been with him for a while, but she still can't figure out what he is thinking.
She was thinking of taking advantage of the favor to become arrogant, but she didn't expect that she would end up hurting herself badly.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I just love you so much that I couldn't help myself..."
The emperor's expression changed and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Love? Is there really love in this palace?
"As long as you are obedient, I will not treat you unfairly." The emperor looked at Lian Yiyi's face and said affectionately.
"Okay." Lian Yiyi avoided the emperor's gaze.

"Wu Mingde, I order you to divorce your wife immediately and marry Princess Mingyue." The emperor looked down at Wu Mingde who was kneeling respectfully on the ground and said.
Wu Mingde looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, love should not be forced. I have married Shao Yan and will not abandon her."
"Very good. If you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being rude to you." The emperor said angrily.
He really wanted to pry open Wu Mingde's head and see what was inside. He was so stubborn and so stupid.
He gave up the great wealth and glory and insisted on having a wife who was nothing.
"Your Majesty, I studied diligently for decades. My only hope in passing the imperial examinations was to repay my country and contribute to the prosperity of the imperial court. I did not pursue this to marry the princess." Wu Mingde paused, then added, "Princess Mingyue is so good. She deserves better."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you when you say these things?"
"Don't worry, I am upright and have never done anything wrong. I am not afraid of a knock on my door in the middle of the night."
He had done nothing wrong, so he didn't believe the emperor had any reason to put him to death.
Lian Yiyi curled the corners of her mouth as she looked at Wu Mingde in front of her. He was really a blockhead. Did he really think that as long as he didn't do anything wrong, the emperor couldn't do anything to him?
"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue..."
The palace servant guarding outside hurried over to report, but before he could finish his words, Princess Mingyue rushed in.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty," said Princess Mingyue, glancing at Wu Mingde who was kneeling on the ground.
What a fool who doesn't know how to give in.
"Mingyue, why are you here?" The emperor called Princess Mingyue to his side and said, "What do you want me to do with him?"
Wu Mingde looked at Princess Mingyue and frowned.
It's her again. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many things happening.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any ideas." Princess Mingyue said.
"Don't you hate him?" asked the emperor.
Princess Mingyue glanced at Wu Mingde and her heart skipped a beat. She knew very well what was in the look in his eyes.
"Without love, where would hate come from?" said Princess Mingyue.
"You don't love him?" The emperor was stunned. "Then why were you on the street yesterday..."
"That's because I was talking to Lord Wu about how he and his wife met and got to know each other, and I was so moved that I cried.
A couple like them should be together forever."
Yes, stay together forever and don’t bother her anymore, then she will be able to let it go.
Wu Mingde was stunned for a moment. He looked at Princess Mingyue in astonishment. She... would actually help him?!
He also thought that Princess Mingyue was the one who wanted to kill him the most.
"Father, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Princess Mingyue said.
"You can go too." The emperor said and asked Wu Mingde to leave.
