"Zhao Yunshu is still your elder sister. When have you ever shown any favoritism?"
Consort Chen held the imperial gold medal in her hand and spoke her mind freely.
"Your Highness, how am I being heartless? I made her Empress and her son Crown Prince, and now you say I'm heartless?"
"Is that giving way? That's called stealing! As for Sheng'er's position as crown prince, it wasn't something you gave up. Yun Shu became pregnant earlier than you. If I hadn't protected her, and if she hadn't been so shrewd, would Sheng'er have been able to give birth?"
"Over the years, the emperor has only had three children. Where have the other concubines' children gone? And how did the pregnancies of the two most recent concubines just disappear without a trace?"
"You've taken charge of the Phoenix Seal, and these things make me very suspicious that they're related to you!"
"You're spouting nonsense. A woman who wasn't even touched by the late emperor, a woman who didn't contribute anything to the Nan Chen Kingdom, how dare you point fingers at me here?"
The palace servants and eunuchs in the courtyard dared not utter a sound.
Emperor Hui couldn't get a word in edgewise; the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. It was best to leave the main stage to the Empress!
"But the late emperor was very grateful to me! Because I did not ruin his relationship with the empress and empress, and because I gave up my youth and entered the palace as a bride to bring good luck."
"As for your claim that I have not contributed to the Nan Chen Kingdom, let me tell you, I am making contributions right now."
"I must ensure the purity of the Xiao family bloodline. Zhao Yunwan, you'd better not do anything to betray the Xiao family."
"Guards! Drag this disgusting eunuch away, take him out of the palace, and throw him into the mass grave of the most heinous criminals."
"And starting today, demolish this palace and raze it to the ground."
"I have taken a liking to Changning Palace and want to move there."
Consort Chen arranged everything in one go, and without caring about the reactions of "Emperor Hui" and Zhao Yunwan, she turned and left the palace.
Changning Palace had already been cleaned and tidied up, and Consort Chen moved in with her bags.
After Consort Chen left, only the Empress and "Emperor Hui" remained, staring at each other blankly.
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhao Yun returned gracefully to Kunning Palace, with the emperor following closely behind.
Upon arriving at Kunning Palace, the palace servants said that Xiao Sheng had just left and had taken some things from his former room.
There were no other abnormalities.
Zhao Yunwan was still worried, so she went to the secret chamber to check on Emperor Hui. He was still there.
I was overthinking it.
Emperor Hui was still immersed in grief. He had been separated from his brother for many years and had only been reunited with him for two or three days.
He thought he would send someone to retrieve his body from the mass grave and give it a proper burial soon.
Zhao Yunwan and "Emperor Hui" couldn't understand which link went wrong, causing Zheng Duobao to lose his life in such a short time.
Before he could figure it out, Lu Dacheng rushed into Kunning Palace upon hearing the news.
"Your Majesty, may I speak to you in private?"
Zhao Yunwan gestured, "We're all on the same side, so just say what you have to say!"
"Your Majesty, your pulse indicates that you are pregnant."
"Really? No wonder my period is late this month, but I didn't care."
"Fish, you must protect our children well!"
