After watching this scene, Zhang Weishou felt conflicted. Many things seemed to be completely different from what he had known in the past!

The imperial physicians carefully made their way out, so as to not infuriate their emperor. It must be known that they had just saved their lives with great difficulty. The large hospital immediately quieted down, and it seemed as if the palace had been sealed.

Shadow brought Whitesnow back to his room before letting her go. As soon as he let go of her, Whitesnow was about to charge out again. After saying a few words of offense, he knocked her out and then handed her over to the dumbstruck palace maids and left!

Although Shadow wasn't sure if he would be punished for doing this, he felt that this was what his emperor needed him to do!

When Bai Qian woke up, it was on the morning of the second day. It was only a short while before she remembered what happened yesterday. Her originally slightly red face immediately lost all color, and she stood up to head towards the Grand Hospital.

Bai Qian ignored him and continued onward.

The palace maid grew anxious. "Empress, there's no need for you to go. The emperor has already ordered that apart from the imperial physician, no one else is allowed to approach her." After saying that, she secretly looked at Bai Qian's expression.

The palace maid's words immediately reminded Bai Qian. She took a step back and stared straight at the palace maid kneeling on the ground. The palace maid was frightened by her gaze, so she could only keep lowering her head.

"Go get Zhou Fuhai." Bai Qian said.

The palace maid was stunned. She knew who this person was, but she didn't know where to look for him. Bai Qian gazed off into the distance, his eyes downcast. "Go take a look at the Forbidden Palace."

When the palace maid heard this, she was frightened. "Esteemed Empress, the imperial palace is forbidden under the emperor's rules. No one is allowed to approach it. If you enter, then —"

Bai Qian's gaze suddenly became sharp and his tone became ice-cold: "I'll let you go. If you don't go, you won't be able to keep your life." The palace maid fiercely shook the area. She could only embarrassedly kneel on the ground and say 'yes' before rolling and crawling away!

"That's why he wants to see it." Whitesnow muttered to himself!

Without a doubt, Bai Qian was worried about Su Nuo, and was extremely worried. But yesterday, she clearly realised that if Bei Chen Han wasn't willing, she wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone find out what happened, even her little sister couldn't see her!

Moreover, her little sister's life and death was uncertain, so she definitely could not panic! Bai Qian looked at the people outside with unwavering determination.

The palace maid walked shakily into the forbidden palace. It was a mute servant who opened the door, making 'yayaya' sounds. Even the palace maid did not understand what was going on, much less seeing Zhou Fu Hai. Just when the palace maid was so frightened that she wanted to go back and randomly report to the palace, she saw the head eunuch from far away. The palace maid, who was afraid of being beheaded by the head eunuch, hurriedly fled the forbidden palace.

Bai Qian sat on the chair and waited uneasily. When she finally saw the person she had sent out had returned, she stood up and asked, "How was it? Did you find him?"

The palace maid didn't even wipe the sweat off her forehead. "There's no one in the Forbidden Palace that the Empress is looking for."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian became speechless. She didn't bring any trusted aides with her when she came here. She was truly alone. Now, she realized that she couldn't even protect her own sister! Such a large discrepancy was very hard for her to accept, not to mention that Su Nuo was still unknown whether she was dead or alive.

The palace maid thought it over, then said, "Empress, but this servant saw the head steward at the forbidden palace."

"What did you say?" Bai Qian regained her senses and the hope of being extinguished ignited once again.

The palace maid was slightly startled by Whitesnow's words, but she still repeated them. Bai Qian's expression froze, as if he was thinking of something. Then, he said, "To the Forbidden Palace."

The palace maid took a long time before she could react. Then, she got up and went to help Bai Qian up.

Forbidden Palace!

Eunuch Zhang Lu was thinking about Zhou Fu Hai's appearance when he died, and he had never expected to see Bai Qian when he opened the door. For a moment, he did not react, and it took a long time before he remembered to pay his respects to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian walked into the room and asked, "Zhang Lu, what are you doing in the Forbidden Palace?"

After being asked such a sharp question, even someone like Zhang Lu, who had been struggling in the palace for so many years, did not know how to respond. After a slight pause, he said, "This servant is here guarding the door."

"Oh — —" Her voice was very long, and her gaze never left Zhang Lu. "A dignified head eunuch is guarding the gates of the Forbidden Palace. Is there no one else in the Imperial Palace?"

With just one sentence, he had rendered Zhang Lu speechless!

The fake smile on Bai Qian's face disappeared as she spoke harshly, "Zhang Lu, I don't want to play around with you. You'd better tell me everything you know, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhang Lu could only lower his head and say yes!

"Who was behind this palace, was it Nore?"

Zhang Lu was still trying to find an excuse when Whitesnow slammed his palm on the table, causing Zhang Lu to tremble violently. "Why are you still not saying anything?"

"Yes, it's Su Nuo." Zhang Lu blurted it out as he lost control. After saying it, he wished he could give himself a few ruthless slaps, but there was nothing he could do!

"It's really Nona." For a moment, Bai Qian became absent-minded, but immediately recovered. "Zhang Lu, you'd better tell everything you know to me, otherwise you won't be able to leave this place."

Zhang Lu took a deep breath, he had already said what he shouldn't have said. Then, he said, "Empress, this servant doesn't know much, I knew that Miss Su Nuo was locked up here by the emperor and that Imperial Physician Zhang was the one who took care of her. Afterwards, the emperor gave her an abortion, and Miss Su Nuo disappeared.

His pale face had already turned pale. He stared at Zhang Lu who was on the ground and asked, "Did you just say that Na'er had an abortion?"

Zhang Lu trembled violently, but he still agreed. Although he had not personally witnessed this, he still knew about it indirectly!

Bai Qian's thoughts became a mess. She opened her mouth and then closed it. After a long period of silence, she finally asked, "Who is the child in Xiao Er's stomach?"

This time, Zhang Lu was smart. He knew that this was a very sensitive and serious topic and could not answer carelessly. If he did not, then his life would truly be in danger. He said ambiguously, "This servant does not know."

Surprisingly, Bai Qian did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he ordered a palace maid to call Zhang Weishou over. Zhang Lu didn't dare to make a sound. In fact, he really wanted to escape. His intuition told him that something big was going to happen, but he couldn't avoid it!

Zhang Weishou also felt the same way when he was called over to see Bai Qian. However, he had no choice but to leave.

Bai Qian looked at him and asked, "You were the one who prescribed Nore's abortion pills." There was no longer any doubt in his words, it was absolute certainty.

Zhang Wei Shou secretly glanced at Zhang Lu from the corner of his eyes, but Zhang Lu kept lowering his head. Zhang Wei Shou knew that Zhang Lu was probably in trouble, so he said, "It was opened by this official, but by the emperor."

His two hands tightly gripped beneath his sleeves. He then asked, "Then why did the emperor do this?"

Sweat trickled down Zhang Weishou's forehead and back. Zhang Weishou was indeed wrongly accused. He was not a trusted aide of Beichen and did not know much. However, what he saw was the most important thing. Zhang Weishou thought back to the scenes he saw in the Forbidden Palace and thought wisely, "The Emperor did this for the Empress' sake. Although the Emperor favored Su Nuo, his heart is always with the Empress, so he didn't let anyone give birth to him."

"Good intentions?" It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world!

Zhang Weishou did not know what to say when he saw Bai Qian's expression. Suddenly, Bai Qian's expression changed. She covered her stomach with one hand. Zhang Weishou took a look and hurriedly said, "Empress, don't activate your womb."

Sweat trickled down her pale forehead, but she only waved a hand to tell the kneeling man to leave! The people on the ground were all shocked. After receiving the order, they quickly left!

After the wooden door was closed, the bright and beautiful light was immediately blocked and the space inside the room became stifling! The pain continued. Fortunately, it was not particularly intense! But now, she suddenly didn't know what kind of ugly truth was hidden in those bright and shining facts that were placed on the table!

However, this was her little sister, her own little sister. Exactly how much suffering her little sister had suffered over the years, and how much suffering she couldn't be accepted by ordinary people, she still didn't know at all!

Bai Qian had never left the Forbidden Palace and had always stayed in Su Nuo's former house. The palace maid waited outside anxiously, but as the sky gradually darkened, there was still no sound from inside. The palace maid also did not dare to go up and knock on the door. She could only helplessly wait outside!

In the darkness of the night, a slender shadow flashed through the darkness and entered the tightly shut door.

Under the pale moonlight, that figure was stretched out in a long line, landing at Bai Qian's feet. Bai Qian did not move, and there was not even a sliver of reaction. That figure looked at her and spoke indifferently, "You are Su Nuo's elder sister?" It was clearly a question, but there was a dense coldness and ridicule in it.

Upon hearing that it had something to do with Su Nuo, Bai Qian raised his head and hurriedly asked, "You know about Xiao'er."

The silhouette coldly snorted, "I don't want to know about her, but I have no choice but to know about everything that has happened to her all these years." The voice paused for a second, "However, I believe as an older sister, you will not know about this. Bei Chen Han loves you so much, how could he let you know about this? He probably won't even let you have a hair on your head!" This kind of ridicule was like a sharp sword, piercing into one's heart without concealing anything!

Bai Qian stood up and walked over to the person. "You know what's going on, right? Tell me, can you tell me everything? Na'er, Na'er is unconscious right now. She, she …" Bai Qian could not finish her sentence.

The face of the person in the shadows did not hide anything, so the look of confusion that flashed past her face was clearly revealed, and she softly muttered: "Not waking, not waking, not waking either, just right, we can leave together", but when she finished speaking, all that remained on her face was a sharp sneer: "Isn't this exactly what Bei Chen Han wanted to do?"

"I just want to know about my sister. I hope you can tell me everything." Bai Qian's words were very firm and unsuitable.

"You really want to know?" The person in the shadows slowly walked out, revealing a beautiful face under the moonlight. Shock instantly appeared in her fair eyes. The person in front of her was Yan Qingcheng.

Bai Qian did not have much of an impression of this girl, but she had met her several times after coming to the capital for such a long time. No matter what, she did have an impression of her!

"It seems you still remember me." Yan Qingcheng said in a mocking tone.

Bai Qian continued to look at her, but the shock in her eyes had already disappeared. "Speak. I want to know everything."

The corners of Yan Qingcheng's lips curled upwards as she smiled. "Fine, I'll tell you everything then. As long as you don't regret it, it's fine." That smile was very beautiful, especially on a beauty like Yan Qingcheng. It was as beautiful as a poppy and unforgettable. Unfortunately, that smile was extremely cold.
