What was the Empress afraid of, and how could the Old Emperor not know?

His deep gaze focused on the Empress's face for a moment before he said in a low voice, "What is the Cold Meal? If the crown prince can come up with an answer, then we can naturally hand this matter over to him."

"Cold-Cold Meal?" The empress's face was blank, and her lips were moving uncontrollably.

"Empress, as the mother of a nation, you must act like the mother of a nation. This is always listening to the winds and rain, favoring your own son in everything. This is truly going too far!"

The empress pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

"If it wasn't for you indulging the Crown Prince, how could things have ended up like this?"

The empress quickly kneeled down. "Your majesty, it's all because of chenqie's lack of teaching, but, what exactly is Cold Meal?"

When Old Emperor heard that, his originally creased eyebrows relaxed. "You'll know when the time comes."

The empress thought that Wei Qing had purposely thought of it as a stunt to help Xiao Qingqian build his career.

Old Emperor looked at her deeply for a while, "Let the crown prince calm his mind, and not think about everything else, just focus on cultivating!"

The Queen wanted to explain something to Xiao Hanqi, but Old Emperor waved his hand impatiently. He knew that if he continued to speak, he would definitely make Old Emperor unhappy, so the empress could only bow her head and leave after the ceremony.

As soon as she left the imperial study, the light in her eyes dimmed.

"Go call the crown prince into the palace."

The court ladies by her side hurriedly answered and took the empress's identity token to the palace entrance.

The Queen had yet to even enter the Yi Kun Palace when she heard a "peng pang pang" sound mixed with the howls of the people of the palace.

"What happened?" The empress looked at the mess in front of her, her expression changing.

Wei Qing pretended not to hear, and picked up a pink vase to throw at the Queen.

The Queen's eyes widened as she hurriedly dodged.

With a "pacha" sound, the pink flower vase smashed into the wall, turning into pieces.

The Queen looked at Wei Qing who was jumping up and down, and angrily shouted: "Wei Qing, what are you doing?"

Wei Qing shouted in alarm, "Empress, what are you insisting on this Yi Kun Palace having in mind?"

The Empress frowned. She had only called Wei Qing to the Yi Kun Palace to vent her anger, what other intentions did she have?

Wei Qing was tired from running, looking at the palace maids who were chasing her like mad dogs, she leaned on the table and gasped, "Empress, save me!"

With that, she ran to the empress's side.

A palace maid waved a feather duster and mercilessly gave the empress a blow.

This time, the force was so great that the empress's forehead swelled up.

"All of you, stop for me!" The empress's voice was filled with rage.

However, no one paid any attention to the empress.

Everyone looked like they were possessed, other than Wei Qing, they looked like they had gone insane.

The Queen immediately ordered the palace maids by her side to find the imperial guards. Just as the palace maids left, she bumped into Xiao Qingqian.

"Prince Chu, this servant did not intend to offend you!"

Xiao Qingqian heard the roars coming from inside and his brows were furrowed.

When he entered the Yi Kun Palace and saw the mess on the ground, with the servants wanting to use violence against Wei Qing, his gaze darkened and he released a few waves of Inner Qi towards the maids. One by one, the people of the palace were stunned still, as if they had been given a Body Securing Curse.

The empress's expression suddenly changed several times as she heard the sound of "the empress dowager's arrival" from outside, and she glared fiercely at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing had a timid look on her face as she tightly gripped onto Xiao Qingqian's sleeve.

Seeing that she had clearly been frightened, Xiao Qingqian's heart turned sour for a moment before hugging her tightly, "It's alright now."

The empress dowager walked in gloomily, her gaze fixed on the empress's face. "Empress, what's going on?"

The Queen ignored the pain on her forehead and explained in a hurry, "Imperial Mother, chenqie just returned from the imperial study and is already like this. chenqie is also not clear on why Wei Qing wants to smash these precious things in chenqie's palace!"

The empress dowager's cold gaze shifted to Wei Qing's back. Her small face was pale white, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Wei Qing's face.

"Wei Qing, explain to This Dowager what is going on?"

Although they were all similar words, the tone of their words was much gentler than when they were asking the empress just now.

Wei Qing swallowed her saliva, and looked at Xiao Qingqian timidly.

Xiao Qingqian patted the back of her hand, signalling to her not to worry, not to be afraid.

Wei Qing pursed her lips and kneeled down. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, I just left the imperial study with Your Highness and there was indeed something wrong with it. "I …"

When the empress dowager saw that she was indeed frightened, she hastened to say, "You can speak the truth. This Dowager will make the decision for you!"

The empress's face suddenly changed. Before she could investigate everything, the empress dowager had already started to shield Wei Qing. This was too much!

"If they want to poison me, then I can't just sit there and wait for death to come. I can only do my best to resist."

"Empress!" The empress dowager stared coldly at the empress without reprimanding her, but these two words were enough to show how angry she was.

"Empress Dowager, Wei Qing is simply speaking nonsense!" The Queen was shocked.

Wei Qing immediately replied timidly, "Empress Dowager, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, ask someone to call the imperial physician, and the powder is still here."

The empress dowager told Nanny Qiu to go to Royal Hospital and have the imperial doctors check it out.

The reason why these people from the palace became like this was because of the poison.

The empress was trembling as she knelt there, unable to speak clearly.

Xiao Qingqian glared at the empress coldly. "Imperial Mother, if you have anything to be displeased about, you can ask this of me. Treating Qing'er like this, isn't that a bit too much!"

The empress really had dropped the yellow mud into her crotch. It was hard to tell if it was shit or shit.

The empress dowager's face grew even colder. "Empress, if it wasn't for the other three kingdoms gathering at the Capital City of the Northern Kingdom, This Dowager would definitely have punished you harshly! This matter, I will remember. If there is no more trouble, just you wait! "

The last three words were like a boulder thrown into a river, creating a storm.

The empress's mouth opened even wider, "Imperial Mother, no matter how much I anger Wei Qing, I would never use such a despicable method.

The empress dowager had long since started to complain to the empress dowager, and when she heard the empress's words, she grew even more furious. "Empress, the imperial physicians have already investigated everything. You really dare to act the part and not admit it!"

With that, she snorted angrily, and indicated for Wei Qing to follow her.

The queen watched them with a chill in her heart.

Wei Qing was really not simple, not only did she make her lose several arms, he even caused her Yi Kun Palace to become like this, even smashing the colored vase that the emperor bestowed to her into pieces!

Coincidentally, Xiao Hanqi had entered the palace and seen all of this. He couldn't help but be shocked, "Imperial Mother, what happened?"
