What does Chu Hewang mean by this?
In Ning Yu's eyes, Chu Hewang was a demon who killed without blinking an eye. A chill once again climbed up her spine. She clenched the quilt tightly with both hands, trying to use the majesty of the queen to shout him back, "How dare you!"
Chu Hewang smiled, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and raised Ning Yu's delicate chin. "Empress, which is faster, my sword or your shouting?"
Ning Yu bit her lip, a feeling of despair filling her heart. Although she was equipped with a system, it was unable to save her in time, and she could not expose the system. If she was discovered, she would be accused of being a monster and burned to death.
The palace servants guarding outside the door were too late.
Chu He saw the timid expression on the Empress's face. Her eyes were watery and sparkling, and her lips were bitten red. His eyes gradually darkened. "As long as the Empress agrees to one request of mine, I will not kill you."
Ning Yu had a bad feeling. "What's the request?"
Chu Hewang's dagger slowly moved downwards, parting the collar of her undergarment. The deep ravines revealed a faint red mole. "Empress, why don't you take a guess?"
Chu Hewang's suggestion was quite suggestive. Ning Yu's gaze immediately fell on him, and her tone was full of sarcasm. "Does the lord have that thing?"
Chu Hewang put away the dagger with a half-smile. "Your Majesty, you are too self-righteous. I am only a eunuch. I have no interest in women."
Ning Yu felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Hewang speaking righteously and with disdain in his tone.
Chu Hewang said calmly, "Your humble servant needs the Empress to help me supervise the Emperor."
Ning Yu was not surprised. After all, in the storybook, this seal holder almost succeeded in the rebellion. If the emperor did not have the halo of the male protagonist, he would have died long ago.
"Although I am the Queen, I cannot participate in politics."
Ning Yu was reluctant to agree, feeling that if she did, it would be like dragging Chu Hewang on board.
Chu Hewang's eyes were cold and his tone was full of threats. "It seems that the Queen wants to commit suicide?"
Her slender hand slowly placed on the dagger, as if if Ning Yu didn't agree, she would be killed immediately in the next second!
Ning Yu still cherished her life very much and nodded in agreement, but the Queen still maintained her aura. "I agree, but if you want me to do something that is against the will of heaven and earth, I will never agree, even if I die."
Chu Hewang raised the corners of his lips, the arc not very noticeable. "Is that so? I will not embarrass Her Majesty the Queen."
"I have already agreed to this matter, so please leave as soon as possible, Master Seal." Ning Yu looked dignified and composed, with a hint of urging in her tone.
"Since the Queen is so happy, then I will tell Her Majesty one thing: Concubine Shen is the Emperor's savior." Chu Hewang glanced at Ning Yu, eager to capture her expression in his eyes.
If she knew about this, what expression would appear on her face? The Queen loved the Emperor so much, she might look at him with tears in her eyes...
Ning Yu had already known about this from the storybook, but she still had to feign shock. "How is this possible? If Concubine Shen is your majesty's savior, then why is she only given the status of a concubine?"
Chu Hewang smiled faintly, like a jade-faced Asura, cold and harsh, gradually revealing the emperor's true face. "As far as I know, whenever Concubine Shen is injured, the emperor will personally visit her. Perhaps because Concubine Shen's family background is too ordinary, the emperor is afraid that she won't be able to survive in the harem, so he protects her like this."
Ning Yu's eyes gradually turned red, tears welling up faintly. However, as the queen, she wouldn't allow herself to cry in front of others. She tilted her head slightly and said, "...How could Your Majesty like the daughter of a minor official? I don't believe it."
Seeing that Ning Yu still insisted on believing the emperor, Chu He became more and more annoyed. He sneered and left.
When Chu Hewang returned to the mansion, Lou Shi came forward to report, "I have verified that the Empress is the eldest daughter of the Ning family... I have also learned that the Empress is investigating the death of the young prince."
A sharp look flashed in Chu Hewang's eyes. "When did the little prince die? How come I didn't know?"
Lou Shi bowed and said, "Just a month ago, the little prince accidentally fell into the Taiye Lake. By the time he was rescued, he was already dead."
Chu Hewang pondered for a moment. The current emperor Xiao Yan had only two daughters, and now a little prince had died, but there was no major uproar in the capital. It seemed as if it was deliberately suppressed.
The only one who has this ability is undoubtedly the emperor.
"Keep investigating." Chu Hewang had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple.
Perhaps this incident will create a rift between the emperor and the empress, and he can take advantage of the opportunity!
Lou Shi agreed.

Time flies, and something big or small happens in the harem. Concubine Ye is pregnant. According to the imperial physician, this baby is most likely a boy.
After Xiao Yan found out, he rewarded Ye Cairen with gold, silver, pearls and hairpins like water. The concubines in the harem were extremely jealous, but with His Majesty protecting her, it was as airtight as a wooden barrel, and it was difficult for them to find out any information.
Ye Cairen often took advantage of her pregnancy to intercept the emperor's children, but no one dared to say anything, because it was very likely that Ye Cairen's child was the emperor's eldest son.
Xiao Yan had just left Yuluoxuan when he suddenly said, "Have I let the Queen down a bit?"
Eunuch Fu was terrified and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Xiao Yan didn't expect Eunuch Fu to say anything. "Go to Kunning Palace."
The dragon chariot quickly changed direction.
The night was dark, cicadas were chirping, and the candles in Kunning Palace had long been extinguished, leaving it pitch black.
Xiao Yan looked at the already locked vermilion gate with a somewhat anxious expression. "Does the Queen always close the gate so early these days?"
Eunuch Fu didn't dare to say anything more, "...Yes."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "Go wake them up and open the door."
As an emperor, he was stopped outside the queen's palace when he wanted to enter it. It was simply ridiculous.
The eunuch guarding the gate heard the sound outside the palace and hurriedly opened the door. When he saw the bright yellow figure standing in front of him, his knees went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
\"Greetings, Your Majesty...\"
Xiao Yan strode in without looking at the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling there.
The night watchman in the inner hall of Kunning Palace heard the noise, looked outside, and quickly lit a candle and woke Ning Yu. "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."
Ning Yu was sleeping soundly, but when she heard Xiao Yan coming, she woke up with a start.
A cold voice came, "The Queen seems to be sleeping comfortably. I have been outside in the cold wind for half an hour."
