There was silence in the Taiji Hall. Outside the hall, Qin Xuelin and Nan Yue were facing each other. The palace servants beside them all had solemn expressions and lowered their eyes. They dared not make a sound, for fear of becoming the innocent ones to be affected.

Nan Yue's temper has become more and more erratic and domineering since the enthronement ceremony. No one in the palace can be looked down upon by her. In order to avoid a confrontation with Nan Yue, many concubines have been trying to stay as far away from her as possible in recent times.

"You still haven't learned your lesson. You're still sharp-tongued." Nan Yue looked at Qin Xuelin viciously, with resentment in her eyes.

To be honest, before Nan Yue plotted to cause Qin Xuelin's miscarriage, the two had never met and had no hatred against each other, but people are so strange. At first glance, the first time Nan Yue saw Qin Xuelin's face, she was sure that she didn't like this woman very much.

Jealousy was one reason, but more importantly, it was Qin Xuelin's always calm demeanor, as if nothing could affect her.

Nan Yue was born in Southern Xinjiang. Her grandfather was the king of Southern Xinjiang, and she was the princess of Southern Xinjiang. Although she was favored, it was also something she had deliberately and deliberately won bit by bit.

She is different from her aunt, Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian is used to forbearing, but she has been tough since childhood and does not know how to forbear. She only knows to grab what she likes, and destroy it if she can't get it.

Just like the position of queen, she has set her eyes on it, and even if everyone is not convinced, she will get it. So what if they are not convinced? She is the queen, and she has a hundred, a thousand ways to punish them, torture them, and make them surrender.

Faced with Nan Yue's arrogance, Qin Xuelin turned a deaf ear to her, bent down slightly, didn't even look at Nan Yue, turned around and left.

Nan Yue obviously felt offended when she saw this, and shouted at Qin Xuelin's back: "Noble Concubine Hui! How dare you! I am the queen appointed by His Majesty, and you dare to disrespect me!"

Qin Xuelin's footsteps stopped instantly. Just when Nan Yue thought that her threat had worked and was about to ridicule Qin Xuelin in a show of strength, Qin Xuelin turned around leisurely, her eyes were cold but focused, she tilted her head slightly, and smiled at Nan Yue, a very sincere smile.

"Your Majesty personally appointed you as the Queen? My lady, if I remember correctly, His Majesty is now lying unconscious. I wonder how he personally appointed you as the Queen? Oh, that's right."

Qin Xuelin looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "There is an imperial edict as proof, but..." Qin Xuelin approached Nanyue step by step, her tone getting lower and lower: "The imperial seal is dead, but people are alive. Your Majesty can't wake up, so you can write an imperial edict yourself. Anyway, Your Majesty won't get up and deny it. In the end, you will be the high and mighty Empress, right? Honorable Empress."

Nan Yue tried her best to resist the urge to retreat, stared at Qin Xuelin gloomily, and said through gritted teeth: "So what? You are smart and you see through everything, but what does it matter? You have no evidence, and I have already held the ceremony of crowning me as the queen in the presence of all the civil and military officials. I have moved into Changning Palace. Who in this harem dares not to obey? I am the queen, who dares to say no!"

Qin Xuelin sneered, extremely disdainful: "Yes, you are the queen, so may I ask what you are so guilty about? You are shaking even when you speak, are you afraid?"

Nan Yue's whole body stiffened. She had to admit that Qin Xuelin's aura made her feel scared.

Qin Xuelin shrugged indifferently and looked sideways at the palace wall in the distance. Outside the red palace wall was the blue sky and endless freedom.

"Every woman in this deep palace is a pitiful creature. It doesn't matter to me who becomes the queen. I just want to live my own life peacefully. So you don't have to be my enemy. Whether you are the queen or not, what does it have to do with me? Right, Queen."

Qin Xuelin bowed again and said, "I'll take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Nan Yue, who was left there, stared at Qin Xuelin's back until her chest became suffocated and she couldn't breathe. Then she realized that she had been holding her breath.

Guanju Palace.

Qin Xuelin came back from outside the hall, walked straight into the inner room without stopping, slowly pushed open a secret compartment behind the bookshelf, and her eyes immediately softened.

This secret compartment was secretly dug out by someone after Qin Xuelin had a miscarriage. Inside was a small tablet without a name engraved on it. Behind the tablet were some children's clothes, both big and small, in dark and light colors.

This is the mourning hall Qin Xuelin set up for her innocent child who died in vain.

After the child died, Qin Xuelin would think from time to time, if the child was still alive, how old would he be now? As she thought about it, she would make clothes for the child. Before she knew it, she had made one piece of clothes after another. Now she could finally take revenge.

"Child, I'm sorry for you." Qin Xuelin's eyes were red. She raised her hand and gently stroked the tablet, as if the one in front of her was her child.

"Mother failed to protect you and let you come into this world safely. The only thing I can do for you now is to kill the enemy who killed you with my own hands. The unfinished relationship between you and me as mother and son will be left for the next life."

Changning Palace.

Nan Yue had a very bad temper after returning from Taiji Palace. The palace servants in the courtyard were dragged outside and beaten with boards for no reason. For a while, screams could be heard in Changning Palace.

As Kong Chenyang walked into the gate of Changning Palace, screams were heard. Kong Chenyang couldn't help but frowned and looked down on Nanyue even more.

Kong Chenyang had thought deeply before choosing to cooperate with Nanyue instead of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian had an adult prince who was ambitious and cautious in her daily life. She would never willingly obey his orders.

But Nanyue is different. She has no children and has only been in the palace for a short time, so she has a shallow foundation in the palace. Most importantly, Kong Chenyang is impressed by Nanyue's courage and vision that are inconsistent with his.

This is also what Kong Chenyang finds interesting. Nan Yue is a person of extraordinary courage and vision. She dares to think and act. She helped Concubine Xian to win favor before, and she even dared to drug the emperor when she first arrived in the capital. However, her vision is extremely superficial. She only has her eyes on a position. She wants to be the queen, so she doesn't care how others look at her, nor does she care about her own reputation.

For Kong Chenyang, Nanyue is easier to control than Concubine Xian, and it saves him a lot of trouble.

Just like this time, since Nan Yue ascended the throne of queen, she has never gone to look for him again, saving her trouble.

The eunuch waiting at the door saw Kong Chenyang coming, and hurriedly ran into the inner room to report to Nanyue: "Your Majesty, Lord Kong has arrived and is waiting for you in the outer hall."

Nan Yue glared at the young eunuch impatiently and snorted coldly: "Tell him to wait in the front hall, I will be there soon."

She still had to give face to Kong Chenyang.
