"Queen - you -. [ ]" Seeing that the Queen was really going to go out and kneel down, the Queen Mother felt dizzy for a moment and couldn't stand up.

"The Queen Mother!" Concubine Xian immediately supported her.

Punishing the queen, even if she just asked the queen to kneel outside, was a big deal. The queen mother couldn't help but regret it. She was so angry just now that she said that. Originally, the queen would surrender in the future and kneel down to apologize, and she would have a step forward.

Then he gave up. How could he have expected that the queen would be so stubborn this time.

"Master, please admit your mistake to the Queen Mother and stop kneeling!" Chu Xia supported the Queen and cried anxiously.

"Empress!" Wei Ning'er chased out, supported the queen, and said urgently: "Empress, you can't kneel down. What if... if something happens to you, what should you do?" Wei Ning'er said this.

He glanced at the queen's belly.

But the queen shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to say more, then gently pushed away the hands of Wei Ning'er and Chu Xia, lifted up the hem of her skirt and knelt down.

"Empress!" Chu Xia and Wei Ning'er exclaimed and knelt down.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Lu, who had been watching from a distance, saw the queen kneeling down, and immediately ran away to the Nanmu Hall where the emperor governed.

The Queen has never been punished in the many years she has been in charge of the Middle Palace. Not only has she never been punished, she has never been scolded. This time, she was actually punished by the Queen Mother to kneel in the front yard of Songhe Zhai, which is really shocking.

Concubine Xian helped the Queen Mother to the courtyard. She looked at the Queen Mother and Wei Ning'er who were kneeling on the ground. The sinister smile on her face flashed away. Then she looked at the Queen Mother with some fear and fear, and her words were full of uneasiness: "Queen Mother

Your Majesty, this is just a misunderstanding, please let the Queen and your concubine get up quickly!"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heart. After all, she had never scolded the Queen in all these years, but this time she was... punished for such a trivial matter. It was unreasonable to bring trouble to the Emperor.

.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and your concubine made an unintentional mistake. They did not intend to offend the Queen Mother. Please forgive me!" How could Concubine Jia not see that the Queen Mother was in a dilemma at this time and immediately knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother!" Concubine Shu also knelt down.

Seeing this, Yibin had no choice but to join them in begging for mercy.

Concubine Xian looked stern, then knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother, please calm down. The Queen Mother is the mother of the country. How can she be punished for such a trivial matter? If word spreads, people will say that she is the Queen Mother and you cannot tolerate the Queen Mother.

Your Majesty can't explain that, so I ask the Queen Mother to think twice."

When the Queen heard this, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and Wei Ning'er's expression beside her also changed. Concubine Xian was not pleading, she was simply adding fuel to the fire.

The Queen Mother has stood at the pinnacle of power in these years. Although she has never been involved in government affairs and rarely interfered in the affairs of the harem, but...who in the world dares to disobey her and disobey her wishes, even if the emperor is under her

They were also respectful in front of me.

Concubine Xian's words seemed as if the Queen Mother was afraid of the Queen or the Emperor. When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't restrain the anger in her heart, and immediately shouted: "Lv Mo, let the Ai family watch it. It won't take more than an hour."

, don’t ask them to get up!”

The Queen watched the Queen Mother angrily return to the main hall, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she couldn't help but sneered.

Nanmu Palace is very close to here, and the emperor must be arriving soon, otherwise she would not risk the child in her belly.

"The Queen!" Wei Ning'er held the Queen's hand, her eyes full of worry.

The queen shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "I am not in the way, so there is no need to worry!"

Wei Ning'er couldn't understand why the queen took such a risk.

Although Songhezhai was very close to Nanmu Hall, the emperor was discussing state affairs with the ministers at this time. Wang Lu dared not disturb him, so he could only quietly call Wu Shulai out.

"What's the matter?" Wu Shulai asked in a low voice.

"Eunuch Wu, something bad has happened. The Queen Mother got angry and punished the Queen Mother and the concubines to kneel down in the Songhe Zhai courtyard!" Wang Lu said breathlessly.

"What!" When Wu Shulai heard this, he thought it was okay and ran back immediately.

"Your Majesty, something happened!" Wu Shu came to the Emperor's side and shouted in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" The emperor frowned slightly.

Wu Shulai didn't care so much anymore, and immediately leaned into the emperor's ear and told the emperor exactly what Wang Lu had just told him.

When the emperor heard this, he stood up from the dragon chair in shock. The hand that had been covering the right side of his face was suddenly removed, revealing the right side of his face that was slightly swollen and purple.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Tingyu and other senior ministers were immediately frightened.

The emperor didn't care so much and quickly left the Nanmu Palace.

"Retreat from the court——" Wu Shulai shouted before following him.

…

Outside the main hall of Songhezhai, the Queen and Wei Ning'er have been kneeling for two quarters of an hour. Although the weather in the Rehe Palace is cool, it is not hot when they kneel outside with the sun above their heads.

"Your Majesty, please get up!" Wei Ning'er couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and tried to help the Queen up.

"Your concubine, the Queen Mother has decreed that you and the Queen are not allowed to get up within an hour!" Lu Mo came forward and said coldly.

"Aunt Lumo, the Empress is not feeling well, please bear with me for a moment, and I will apologize to the Empress Dowager!" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and said.

"My Lady, you'd better kneel down, don't embarrass me!" Lu Mo grabbed Wei Ning'er and tried to make her kneel down.

Wei Ning'er raised her head and looked at Lu Mo, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and her face changed accordingly. She shook off Lu Mo's hand and sneered: "Auntie has such a big battle. Not only did she give orders to me, but she also

The Empress takes it seriously, I have never shown any mercy to those who are ungrateful, so why don’t you get out of here, it’s not your turn as a slave to point fingers here!”

Lu Mo didn't expect that Wei Ning'er would turn against her. Wei Ning'er was usually very kind to them, but she was really frightened for a moment by being so stern and violent.

"Your Majesty, please get up!" Chu Xia also stood up, and together with Wei Ning'er tried to help the Queen up.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager's sneer reached everyone's ears: "The Ai family had heard that the concubine was very tight. Not only did she open her mouth and not forgive others, but she also moved like a shrew in the market.

The pearl hairpin on her head wants to kill the servants around Concubine Xian, and now it seems that is really the case, why? Your concubine also wants to kill the servants around the Ai family?"

"The Queen Mother, please calm down. I just taught this short-sighted slave a lesson. I didn't mean to offend the Queen Mother!" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and knelt down.

"The Ai family doesn't know that the servants around the Ai family have to bother their concubines to discipline them!" the Queen Mother sneered.

Wei Ning'er straightened up, raised her head, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "What the empress said is wrong. She is a slave. Although I am not her serious master, I am still qualified to discipline a slave!"

"You..." The Queen Mother did not expect that Wei Ning'er would say this, and she actually stayed there for a moment.

Wei Ning'er said again: "Empress Dowager, please forgive me for being so bold. I dare to ask your Majesty, even if the Empress knew yesterday that you asked the Emperor to go to Concubine Xian's palace and still let me serve the Emperor, so what?

Is it possible that the Queen Mother really wants to punish the Queen Mother for such a thing? What’s more, the Queen Mother has already said that she did not know about it in advance. If she knew about it, why would the Queen Mother do this? After all, you want to punish the Queen Mother for an excuse.

It’s just the queen and concubines!”

"You..." The Queen Mother paused suddenly.

"Bold!" Concubine Xian shouted sharply.

At this time, Wei Ning'er was extremely anxious. The Queen would not let Wei Ning'er tell her that she was pregnant. If she continued like this, she would probably have an impact on the Queen's fetus. Wei Ning'er had to resort to this strategy to anger the Queen Mother and find an opportunity to help the Queen escape.

.

"Whether the concubine is talking nonsense, the Queen Mother knows it very well, and you, Concubine Xian, also know it very well!" After Wei Ning'er said this, she winked at Chu Xia, and the two of them immediately stood up and helped the Queen up.

At this time, the queen already felt that she could not hold on anymore, so she let the two men help her up without saying a word. However, she looked at Wei Ning'er with a look of relief in her eyes. This girl had spent all these years protecting her in vain.

Hold her.

"The Queen Mother, this is all my fault. I am willing to let the Queen Mother handle it!" Wei Ning'er helped the Queen up and then knelt down.

The Queen Mother looked at Wei Ning'er, her eyes flickering, and she said after a while: "Since your concubine is willing to accept the punishment on behalf of the Queen, then just kneel here for two hours!"

Wei Ning'er couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It seemed that what she expected was right. The Queen Mother didn't mean to punish them. No... The Queen Mother didn't want to punish the Queen. She might have been angry just now, and it was just right for her to do this now.

He stepped down from the steps of the Queen Mother and pardoned the Queen.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise outside. When everyone looked closely, they saw a bright yellow figure flashing in front of them.

"Queen, how are you?" The emperor hugged the queen and asked urgently.

"Your Majesty, I just knelt down for two quarters of an hour, I'm not in the way!" The queen forced a smile, but her slightly pale face allowed the emperor to see that she was not feeling well at the moment.

"Pass the imperial physician!" the emperor shouted.

The Queen Mother couldn't stand it, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, you just knelt down for a while. Is it possible that the Queen's body is so delicate now?"

Hearing this, the emperor took a deep breath and said: "Empress, the empress is pregnant!"

The uncontrollable anger in the emperor's words silenced everyone, but the next moment, they were stunned by what the emperor said, including the Queen Mother.

"This... the Ai family doesn't know anything about it!" The Queen Mother was actually a little flustered.

The emperor remained silent and tried to help the queen to leave. Unexpectedly, the queen fell limp and fainted in his arms.

"Queen!" the emperor shouted, and the hand holding the queen began to tremble.

"Come here, send the imperial doctor!" the Queen Mother shouted loudly.
