This strange sound, which seemed not to be made by a human, attracted the attention of several high-ranking concubines.

Listen to the content, like someone's voice.

The queen slowly raised her eyelids, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry on her usually calm face.

Concubine Shu snorted coldly and shot her glare at the crowd around her.

Okay, you still dare to play tricks!

Now that the queen is here, let’s see where you can escape to!

Sunpin frowned slightly, revealing a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction in her heart. Yuepin coughed, hiding the excitement in her eyes.

Finally, it was Sun Bin who asked first: "Who was talking just now?"

Her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through layers of colorful decorations and directly stabbing at the prince's concubines.

Under her gaze, the lower-ranking concubines felt a strong sense of oppression, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible mountain and unable to breathe.

But they could only look at each other - it was not that they didn't want to reply, but they really didn't hear any sound.

Finally, Concubine Zhang took a step forward and said reluctantly despite the pressure: "Replying to Concubine Sun, just now, no one was talking. Everyone was tasting the Queen's good tea."

The queen frowned and called Xiwen softly, but got the same answer.

It seems that not everyone can hear this sound?

Concubine Sun refused to give in and shouted at Concubine Zhang: "I heard it with my own ears, how can I wrongly accuse you?"

When Concubine Zhang was scolded, her eyes suddenly became moist, tears welled up in her eyes. Her knees softened, she knelt on the ground, and sobbed softly. Her weak posture was so charming that it made people feel distressed, and Wu Qing's heart melted.

Wu Qing remembered that the original text only mentioned Concubine Zhang once, saying that a certain concubine hated her and secretly poisoned her, and she died silently on a winter day.

Could it be that this person is Concubine Sun?

Wu Qing: [Sunpin... is still as talkative as ever. How can she not see that everyone dislikes her? ]

[In order to escape the emperor's increasingly cold attitude towards her, Concubine Sun took out her anger on the servants, making them even more mean and sarcastic. Everyone called her an old witch behind her back.]

Hearing such a lack of respect, Yuepin couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her delicate body stuttered and it was obvious that she was choking from laughing.

Concubine Shu turned her face slightly, trying to suppress the curve of her lips. She felt that Concubine Sun had not been very graceful in recent years, but she didn't bother to care. Now that the noisy guy pointed out this fact, she felt relieved.

The queen shook her head, took a sip of tea, and made no comment.

Concubine Sun was so angry that her neck turned red. She stood up and was about to walk towards His Highness.

She was not stupid. When she saw the expressions of Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue, she knew that they had also heard what was said.

Fortunately, Concubine Sun was also an old lady before the emperor ascended the throne, so she still had some shrewdness. She suppressed her anger and sat back in her chair.

Concubine Sun bowed to the Queen and said, "I did hear a strange sound. Judging from the expressions of Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue, they must have heard it as well."

Yuepin recovered her breath and asked with a smile, "What did you hear, sister? I just choked on the tea and don't know anything."

Sun Bin had never gotten along with her, so she glared at her and cursed, "I think you are the one who made this weird noise!"

Yuepin cried out, covered her chest delicately, and said fearfully, "Sister, you really wronged me. Everyone in the palace knows that I am most afraid of ghosts. The last time there was a ghost in my palace, it was only when the emperor came that it was suppressed. Sister, please don't scare me again."

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. After she said it, Concubine Sun became even angrier.

Haunted?

The emperor had clearly rested in her palace the day before yesterday, but this witch came crying in the middle of the night, insisting that the palace was haunted and coaxed the emperor over.

Bringing up this matter now, Concubine Yue was deliberately trying to make her angry!

Looking at the disgusting voice she spoke in, if you didn't know better you would think she was being wronged.

Sun Bin's chest rose and fell as she said, "You're still saying no? Yes, even the haunted incident that time was the same. You are the best at this kind of trick, it must have been your idea."

Seeing her abnormal behavior, Concubine Shu couldn't help but remind her: "Sunpin, the palace doesn't like gods and ghosts. Don't keep talking about ghosts. It makes people upset."

She gently reprimanded Yuepin again, "Yuepin is the same, it's just a few cats making noises, making trouble in the middle of the night and disturbing the emperor's rest."

In the eyes of Concubine Shu, Concubine Sun was unpleasant. As for Concubine Yue, she didn't know where she learned her accent from. Even though they were both women, Concubine Shu got goose bumps when she heard it. Therefore, Concubine Shu didn't want to help either side.

Yuepin immediately stood up and expressed her attitude, and said in a normal tone: "Sister Shufei is right, it's all my fault."

Seeing that Concubine Shu had helped her get away with this, the Queen didn't take any action.

But Wu Qing in the audience was watching with great interest.

An immersive palace fighting drama!

Everyone loves beauty. The more Wu Qing looked at this group of beauties, the more relaxed he felt physically and mentally.

The beauty is angry, the beauty is sharp-tongued, the beauty sighs, each of her movements has a unique charm.

If she wasn't in a hurry to go home, Wu Qing really wanted to sit on a small stool and watch.

In the hall, the queen changed the subject and talked about the imperial concubine's frequent lateness, and then turned the topic to trivial matters in the palace, such as the amount of charcoal used in winter.

Even though they were separated by a crowd, Wu Qing could still feel the fatigue in the Queen's tone.

It was a kind of hidden weariness, like the gradually dimming sunlight in winter; although it had not disappeared, it had lost its former warmth and vitality.

The book describes the queen in great detail. Wu Qing knows that she is a good person, born in a prominent family, and was very glorious when she married into the palace. After the emperor ascended the throne, she naturally became the queen. Unfortunately...

Wu Qing: [The Queen is so busy. She just worked all night yesterday, and now she has to come to receive the concubines' greetings early in the morning. Her tone sounds exactly like me working all night. Forget it, she is the leader, and we are just workers, so we should be more self-reliant.]

The Queen drank tea and nodded silently, isn't that right?

The weather was getting colder, and she was already busy. The beauty pageant was about to begin. She was so busy these days that she had no time to care about the jealousies among the concubines.

Occasionally, when the queen saw herself in the mirror, she would be shocked because she could not remember what she looked like before she married into the palace.

Wu Qing: [Ah, no wonder she got a serious illness at such a young age. Let me see the plot, oh my god! The queen can only live for one month! ]

The porcelain cup in the queen's hand trembled slightly, and the delicate white porcelain shattered instantly. The sharp fragments splashed to the ground like scattered stars, making a crisp and harsh sound.

The Kunning Palace fell into dead silence.

The queen's face was pale and her eyes were wandering, trying to find the person who was speaking in the crowd.

Ridiculous! It was true that she was a little weak, but the imperial doctors were so skilled, how could they not diagnose her illness?

If I really had a serious illness, it wouldn't be his turn to remind me.

This person even said that she only had one month to live!

Wu Qing: [This is a poison called Lotus Heart Gu. The heart of the poisoned person will fall off layer by layer and gradually turn into the shape of a lotus. In the early stage of the poisoning, the poisoned person will occasionally have palpitations. In the middle stage, the hands and feet will be cold due to insufficient blood supply. In the late stage, the disease will erupt with real horror, and the internal organs will begin to rot...]

After hearing this, the queen felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

She clenched her cold hands and suddenly felt a little breathless.

How could that be?

The symptoms are so consistent.

She did have unexplained palpitations in the past few years, and cold hands and feet in recent years. The imperial doctors simply said that she was suffering from anemia and that she just needed to take some blood-replenishing prescriptions.

The queen knew this was ridiculous, but what if, what if what this person said was true?

She has been in power for many years and has a prince as her son. In another ten or twenty years, she will become the empress dowager.

She didn’t want to—

Wu Qing: [Poison, it can actually be cured. Let me read the plot. ]

Wu Qing: [Hey, found it! ]
