The emperor was most suspicious of the queen, but she was Princess Zhaoyang's biological mother after all. Even if he was the emperor, he had to produce evidence and could not just make empty promises.
If it weren't for the Queen, the father-daughter relationship between him and Princess Zhaoyang might have been hurt.
"Bring all the concubines here," the emperor said coldly, "and have the guards search their rooms."
The concubines in the palace might be harboring resentment towards His Majesty, especially the Imperial Noble Consort.
These resentments are like a seed, which may grow bigger with time. Wang Bao is afraid that such a thing will happen again.
But Wang Bao really couldn't think of a better way.
"What are you standing there for, you dog?" The emperor's sharp eyes were like two swords, staring at Wang Bao.
"I'll go right away, right away." Wang Bao nodded quickly.
The queen, the imperial concubine and the rest of the people were brought in at this moment.
The Queen was the first to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The Imperial Concubine's miscarriage was caused by my negligence in management. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
The emperor supported his forehead with force, did not look up at her, and did not ask the queen to get up.
At this moment, the queen was kneeling below like other concubines, feeling sad and heartbroken.
Is His Majesty so cruel to her? If it was that bitch Xu Lingyi kneeling there, the Emperor would have been heartbroken.
"You are guilty." The emperor sneered.
“Lax management is just one of them.”
The emperor didn't say anything else. The queen frowned. Now that there was no evidence, the emperor had already begun to suspect her?
Although she knew that His Majesty no longer had much affection for her as a couple, she never expected him to be so suspicious of her.
"Your Majesty." The Queen's eyes were red. "I don't know why Your Majesty is suspicious of me, but Your Majesty is the only one in my heart. I am also happy that the Imperial Noble Consort is pregnant. Besides, I am not so foolish. If my sister gives birth to a prince, Your Majesty's Princess Zhaoyang and I will have someone to rely on in the future. For the sake of the princess's future life, I will never make a move on the Imperial Noble Consort."
Before taking action, the queen had already thought of a reason to clear herself of suspicion.
Before she did the next thing, she would make sure she wouldn't be discovered.
This is also the reason why she has been in the harem for so many years with her hands stained with blood but has never been noticed.
"Your Majesty, I am already the Empress. I know that if anything happens to the Imperial Concubine, I will be the most suspected. Everyone in the harem and the court is watching me. How can I dare to take action? I hope more than anyone else in the harem that my sister and her child are safe."
