When Emperor Zhao heard the little woman's words, he was slightly stunned, but soon regained his composure. He gently stroked the woman's back and said in a low, magnetic and mellow voice: "Wait a moment, I am already collecting evidence of the Prime Minister's guilt!"
When Liu Ruyue said that, her heart was filled with anxiety.
However, the man agreed easily, as if he had heard that there would be an extra dish for dinner.
Hearing the man's words, Liu Ruyue became even more aggressive, wanting to test the extent to which Emperor Zhao could tolerate her:
"But, Your Majesty, I don't want to wait any longer. I want to convict the Queen myself..."
The man holding her didn't even hesitate this time, and replied lovingly, "Okay, okay, Yue'er, do whatever you want.
"With me as your backer, Yue'er can do whatever she wants!"
"ah?!"
Emperor Zhao's words made Liu Ruyue confused: No, this man can tolerate me making things difficult for him?
Moreover, Liu Ruyue suspected that Emperor Zhao had secretly gone somewhere to learn love words without her knowledge, and now he was able to speak so many seductive words.
"Host, I feel like this big guy might be in love with you!"
Late at night, when Emperor Zhao was sound asleep, Liu Ruyue was listening to the even breathing of the man beside her and thinking about how to convict the Queen. At this moment, the voice of the system duck sounded in her mind again.
After hearing what the system said, Liu Ruyue said proudly: "That's a must. This host is so smart and beautiful. If he doesn't like me, he is blind."
“…”
Faced with the host's tsundere attitude, the system duck was speechless.
Its cold tone actually revealed its pity for Emperor Zhao: "Hey, how could he fall in love? And it was a one-sided love. After all, the person he fell in love with was calmly watching him drowning on the shore..."
Liu Ruyue didn't want to pay attention to the system duck's sarcasm, so she asked the system duck to remember to give her the unused protective items that she had exchanged before tomorrow.
It is true that she wants to harm someone, but the prerequisite is that she must protect the baby in her belly.
She knew that Emperor Zhao would definitely arrange for someone to protect her, but, having been used to academics, she was still used to being rigorous (cowardly)!

"Hey, the Imperial Concubine who has been hiding in the Weiyang Palace to take care of her pregnancy has finally come out!"
"The pregnancy is stable, and His Majesty and the Queen Mother are looking after it. Shouldn't I show it off?"
"Haha, it's more than just showing off, it's simply showing off. After all, who among you has ever had the gift of the Emperor rushing back from his morning court session to accompany you on a stroll through the Imperial Gardens?"
"The Emperor's gift of accompanying me to visit the Imperial Garden? Haha, it's been so long since I've seen the Emperor that I've almost forgotten what he looks like. How can there be such a gift?"
"You are jealous, after all, the Imperial Concubine is so blessed. She is the daughter of the great Zhao, and she is pregnant with the future crown prince!"
…
When Emperor Zhao accompanied Liu Ruyue out of Weiyang Palace, Liu Ruyue asked Ruyi to arrange people to spread the news throughout the palace that Emperor Zhao was accompanying her to visit the Imperial Garden.
Her guess was correct. Not long after the news was released, beautiful women rushed to the Imperial Garden, each of them dressed up beautifully and were busier than the butterflies in the Imperial Garden.
Even Empress Wan and others couldn't wait to rush over and greeted Emperor Zhao enthusiastically.
The others could still pretend, but Concubine Wan and the Queen looked at Liu Ruyue, whose hand was held by Emperor Zhao, with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison.
Adhering to the principle of "capture the king first", Liu Ruyue smiled coquettishly, placed her hands on her bulging belly, and said to the queen with a hint of provocation:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am in poor health now, so I cannot bow to you."
When the queen heard what Liu Ruyue said, she was very angry: Bitch, if you can't salute, then don't salute. Why do you say it so openly? You just want to show off that you can give birth to a child.
Before the Queen could calm down, she saw Emperor Zhao protecting Liu Ruyue with an expression of doting they had never seen before: "Your belly is big, there is no need for these empty formalities, no need to tell her that I am here with you for a walk today, you don't need to pay attention to others!"
Aaaaaahhhhh!!!
After hearing what Emperor Zhao said, the Queen felt even more choked up in her chest, as if a mouthful of blood was stuck there.
What made her even more upset was that the little woman being held in the arms of her husband actually started to act coquettishly: "No, no, I just want to talk to the Queen!"
As he spoke, he shook off Emperor Zhao's hand and walked towards him:
"Sister Queen, you won't blame me, right?"
Looking at the pretentious woman in front of her, the queen wanted to tear her apart with her bare hands.
However, because they were not in Kunning Palace, she could only act dignified and force a smile. When she was about to say no, she saw the little woman in front of her fall backwards with her eyes wide open.
She leaned over and shouted in shock: "Empress, why are you pushing me?"
"Empress!"
"Yue'er!"
The moment Liu Ruyue fell backwards, the palace maids serving in Weiyang Palace and Emperor Zhao all rushed over.
Emperor Zhao rushed forward and hugged Liu Ruyue who was halfway down.
All this happened in a flash.
As soon as the Queen finished shouting, "I didn't!", Liu Ruyue huddled in Emperor Zhao's arms with a look of fear on her face, her voice choking with sobs, "Your Majesty, I just wanted to be on good terms with the Queen. How could she push me and try to harm the child in my belly?"
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't do that!"
Looking at the little woman who was protected so tightly by Emperor Zhao, the queen was so angry that she ignored the temperament that a queen should have and started shouting loudly.
After shouting, she looked at Concubine Wan and the others and said, "You all saw it. I didn't even reach out just now. She fell down and slandered me."
"Your Majesty, I don't have any!"
Seeing that Concubine Wan and others who she was staring at took a few steps back, the Queen could only look at Emperor Zhao for help.
However, Emperor Zhao's mind and eyes were filled with the sight of Jiaojiao'er falling backwards just now, and he was extremely worried.
After confirming again and again that Jiaojiao'er was fine and was just "scared", he looked at the Queen and shouted in a deep voice:
"Empress Su, who murdered the heir to the throne, is without virtue or talent. She was deprived of her throne and banished to the cold palace!"
“???”
“!!!”
Not only the Queen, but even the concubines in the Imperial Garden did not expect this result.
They originally thought that the Queen would be convicted because of Concubine Liu's frame-up, but they never expected that her crime would be so serious.
"His Majesty!!!"
Hearing the Emperor Zhao's heartless words, Su Yexi could no longer hold back. Tears streaming down her face, she roared at the Emperor Zhao, "We've been married for many years. Can't you see that I've been wronged?"
"Your Majesty is not a tyrant, of course he can see it!"
Liu Ruyue didn't let the Emperor Zhao respond. She suppressed the fear on her face and looked at the deposed Empress Su Yexi coldly, saying, "But does it matter whether it's unjust or not? Isn't it more important to see who is more important in your Majesty's heart?"
