"What?"

The queen was startled and suddenly stood up from her seat!

After the nanny ran into the palace, she didn't even dare to breathe: "Your Majesty, just now a palace servant found a body hanging in front of the Fengyi Palace. When I went to check, I found that it was the secret guard sent to Liuzhou!"

The queen stood up in shock, but after hearing the nanny's words, she sat back down with a thud. Her eyes widened and her hands on the table began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty knows. Your Majesty knows everything!"

Looking at the pale queen, the nanny stepped forward in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't scare me! I did this very secretly, and Your Majesty couldn't have noticed it so quickly!"

The nanny had a confident look on her face. The Queen had given her this task, and she had been particularly careful and prudent in order to make sure it was done perfectly. How could His Majesty have noticed it so quickly!

The Queen shook her head and murmured in despair, "No, Mammy, you don't understand. The body hanging in Fengyi Palace is a warning from His Majesty to me!"

The nanny was shocked when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, the voice of a palace servant reporting was heard outside the hall.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"

"My Lady Concubine? What is she doing here at this time?"

The nanny frowned, then glanced at the pale and ill-groomed queen and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and reject the imperial concubine right away!"

The nanny knew that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine had a grudge because of the fight for the throne. Now that the Queen was in a bad mood, the nanny would not let the Imperial Concubine laugh at the Queen! After the nanny said this, she was about to go outside the palace to refuse. After she took two steps, the Queen stopped her and said, "Wait, let her in."

The mammy turned around hesitantly: "But Madam..."

"No problem."

The queen pursed her lips, seeming to know that she was not in good spirits.

"yes."

After receiving the Queen's order, the nanny went outside the palace and summoned the Imperial Concubine.

When the nanny saw the imperial concubine, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the queen was not the only one with a bad look on her face.

When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, the imperial concubine's eyes were still filled with anger. After hearing the nanny's message, she swung her sleeves and stepped into Fengyi Palace with a menacing look.

"Oh, sister is really a rare guest in Fengyi Palace."

The queen sat in the main seat, sipping tea leisurely, and had regained her previous dignity, but her slightly pale face still betrayed her.

"Queen, stop pretending! That bitch, Concubine Xian, is pregnant with your Majesty's first child. I don't believe you can still sit still!"

The Imperial Concubine was very angry at the moment. She had been at odds with the Queen to begin with and she was too lazy to maintain the hypocrisy between concubines.

The queen's eyes darkened for a moment, and then she looked at the imperial concubine with an uncertain expression.

"What are you talking about, sister? It's a good thing that Concubine Xian is pregnant with your majesty's child. Why can't I sit still? No matter who is pregnant with the dragon seed, they will have to respect me as the queen mother in the end, right?"

"Respect you as my mother?" The imperial concubine suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Stop dreaming about your grand life!"

"Your Majesty imprisoned you and me in the harem for her. Don't you understand? In His Majesty's heart, the three thousand beauties in the harem are not as good as her, the virtuous concubine!"

The imperial concubine roared with red eyes. Although she didn't want to admit it, this was the fact.

Your Majesty is crazy about Concubine Xian, and is crazy about her. In order to let her stay by his side with a legitimate reason, he does not hesitate to go against all the officials and court officials. In order to prevent her from being labeled as a concubine who brings disaster to the country, he personally cleared her name to the people!

It is such an honor for Concubine Xian to be able to make an emperor do this.

Whenever she heard about what His Majesty did for Concubine Xian, she would become mad with jealousy and wish she could bite her teeth to pieces! Now that Concubine Xian was pregnant, Concubine Xian could no longer sit still.

She even went so far as to find the Queen whom she hated the most, hoping to join forces with her to get rid of the great threat of Concubine Xian!

Seeing that the queen was unmoved, the imperial concubine continued, "The reason why you can sit comfortably on the queen's throne is because there has been no one in the harem for the past five years!"

"Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant with His Majesty's first child, given His Majesty's preference and favor for her, if Concubine Xian wants to gain status through the birth of a child, how long do you think you can remain on the throne?"

"I'm afraid that once the baby in Concubine Xian's belly is born, His Majesty will depose you as the Queen in the name of childlessness!"

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes and spoke harshly, analyzing the current situation clearly.

Once the virtuous concubine gave birth to a prince, the concubines who were confined to the harem would have no chance of turning over! After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she stared straight at the queen, not missing any expression on her face.

The Queen's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and her heart began to beat rapidly. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, she could not conceal the panic in her eyes.

She admitted that she was upset after the concubine said these words.

After seeing the panic in the queen's eyes, the imperial concubine showed a victorious smile on her face.

She knew that Zhuang Qingwan, like her, could not tolerate the child in Concubine Xian's belly. In the harem, besides the personal nanny, she was the one who knew Zhuang Qingwan best.

"How is it, Queen, do you still think you can continue to hold the throne?"

The imperial concubine looked at the high-ranking queen with a mocking expression and continued, "I have a way to make the child in Concubine Xian's belly disappear without anyone noticing, as long as the queen can let Concubine Xian enter the harem."

The queen looked straight at the imperial concubine without making any response.

The imperial concubine who had successfully shaken the queen's mind did not stay long. After saying what she wanted to say, she left Fengyi Palace.

As soon as the imperial concubine stepped out of the hall, the empress, who had been dignified, suddenly became like a deflated ball, with her entire body leaning on the table beside her.

The nanny looked at her with a worried look on her face: "Are you okay, madam? Madam, don't listen to the slander of the imperial concubine. She just wants to use you to get rid of the dragon seed in the virtuous concubine's belly, and finally put all the blame on you!"

The nanny placed her hands on the Queen's shoulders and frowned as she revealed the Imperial Concubine's plan.

The queen didn't say anything, but just put her hands on the table and breathed heavily, as if someone was strangling her fate.

The nanny didn't say anything else, giving the queen enough space to breathe. The queen was beautiful and intelligent, so how could she not see through the imperial concubine's thoughts? The imperial concubine wanted to find the queen as a scapegoat, which was a big mistake!

The nanny had already determined that the queen would not be fooled by the imperial concubine because of a few words from her, but the queen's next words shocked her.

"She's right. We can't keep the baby in Concubine Xian's belly!"

The queen clenched her hands into fists, and a strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

The nanny was shocked and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, don't do this! His Majesty values ​​Concubine Xian so much. If she makes any mistake, His Majesty will be furious and bring disaster to Your Majesty!"
