"If I don't drag her down, how can I find an excuse and say that I accidentally bumped into her? Not only would it be easy for others to find out, but if anything happened to the young prince, the emperor and the empress dowager would punish him as well. "Then I've been planning for so long, it's all for naught."

Zheng Ziyi rolled her eyes at Lu Luo and reprimanded her in disdain. She felt that her knowledge was too shallow. After which, she walked out.

Lulu did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly followed.

"Esteemed Empress, esteemed empress, the spy we sent just now reported that Concubine Zheng has come to our Hall of Phoenixes." The empress was leisurely eating lychee when Su mama suddenly came to report.

After hearing that, her expression immediately changed. She threw the Litchi in her mouth back onto the plate and slammed it on the table before standing up. What? This slut, I have already minimized the amount of time we have to go out and meet her, and she's even looking for us? " Queen

"Niangniang, this Concubine Zheng will only have one month to produce it. After enduring for so long, you should calm down even more." When Su mama saw the empress's rage, he quickly tried to persuade her.

When the empress heard this, she slowly extended her clenched fist. "That's right, you're right. The more time passes, the more you have to dissuade me." The empress took a deep breath and sat down.

"That slut, after she gives birth, I will teach her a good lesson." The empress suppressed her anger and cursed viciously.

"That's right, esteemed Empress. Humans have their fair share of benefits. "Calm down and try to think the best way you can. This woman gives birth to babies with nine out of ten deaths. Think about it, for example — this giving birth to a stillborn child, or dying from childbirth."

When the empress heard Su mama's words, she couldn't help but smile. "That's right. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have given birth to a crown prince."

"Imperial Concubine Zheng, Imperial Concubine has barged in." As the two of them were talking, the maidservant came in a hurry to report.

"What? Didn't you say I wasn't here?" The Empress was infuriated. This Zheng Ziyi was too much.

"This servant said it, but this Concubine Zheng won't listen. She insisted on rushing in. She was carrying the little prince, so the servants didn't dare to stop her." "It looks like we're about to enter." The maidservant helplessly reported.

"What should we do, Empress?" When Su mama heard Zheng Ziyi's impudence, he quickly asked the empress for his opinion.

"Come on," the empress thought for a moment before making up her mind.

"Go and inform Eunuch Qin of this matter. He is one of our men. Have him lure the emperor to this palace and have a look at Zheng Ziyi's true appearance." the queen ordered.

"Yes." The maidservant responded and hurried out from the side.

"Empress, what about us?" Su mama asked.

"We, of course, need to avoid this god of pests. The further the better." The empress rubbed the beautiful pearl emerald on her head and led Su mama and the others into the empress dowager's palace.

From a distance, the few of them saw Zheng Ziyi arrogantly shouting at the door, "I wanted to chat with the esteemed empress, but you guys refused me so many times. I don't think you want your heads anymore."

"Tsk, I want to see how long she can be arrogant for." The empress glanced at her with a sidelong glance before walking away with a cold smile.

"Mother, chenqie has come to see you." The queen came in after receiving the news.

"Why is I so free today? I thought of coming to see an old man like me." The empress dowager had just finished greeting the Buddha when she saw the empress enter.

"Right now, Imperial Concubine Zheng's little prince is about to be born. On one hand, chenqie is busy taking care of Imperial Concubine Zheng and her son, and on the other hand, she took the time to personally make a copy of this scripture. It took a long time for it to heal. The empress tried to curry favor with him.

"It's rare for you to be so considerate." Her Majesty took the book and liked it very much.

"This is chenqie's duty." The Queen said humbly.

"I've also heard about this recently. This Imperial Concubine Zheng relied on the little prince in her womb to be very disrespectful to you. It's rare for you to be so magnanimous and take care of her so much. And you even found the time to give me a present. The empress dowager was very pleased with the empress's magnanimity.

It just so happened that Mu Zheng was a little tired from reading the imperial reports. Eunuch Qin hurriedly called for people to bring over the fresh tea and osmanthus cake that the empress had sent yesterday.

Mu Zheng had eaten a lot yesterday, and now that Eunuch Qin had started to talk about it, he had a great appetite.

"Reporting to Eunuch, the green tea osmanthus cake is gone." The eunuch came to report.

"Oh, yes. Your majesty, look at my memory. I forgot that you finished eating last night." Eunuch Qin said deliberately.

It was at this moment when his appetite came to an end that Mu Zheng became increasingly eager to eat. Thinking about the Queen's good performance during this period of time, everyone praised her and was very forgiving towards Zheng Ziyi. It would be better if she went to her palace to eat what was available.

Mu Zheng put down his pen and stood up.

When Eunuch Qin saw this, he secretly smiled and quickly followed.

The few of them headed towards the Hall of Phoenixes. From afar, they could hear Zheng Ziyi loudly jeering.

"Did she argue with the empress again?" The Emperor's heart tightened as he quickly walked forward.

"Empress, calm down. The empress really isn't in the palace." The maidservants were all kneeling on the ground with their faces covered in five scarlet finger prints.

"Is the empress hiding from me on purpose? I'm afraid you'll have to stop me if I'm lacking something in the palace. If anything happens to the little prince, not to mention the both of you, even the empress will be held responsible." As Zheng Ziyi spoke, she viciously slapped a few of the maidservants.

The maidservants knelt on the ground, motionless.

"Stop!" At this time, the emperor couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke up.

Zheng Ziyi slowly turned around and discovered that the Emperor had arrived.

"Ah, your majesty, chenqie pays her respects to your majesty." Zheng Ziyi wanted to kneel down with the support of Lu Luo, but due to her heavy and cumbersome body, she could only barely bend her body.

Mu Zheng looked at her with displeasure. "I just walked over and saw you criticizing the palace people. What did they do wrong? It's worth it, Imperial Concubine, for you to call people to beat them up like this, and in the empress's palace at that."

When Zheng Ziyi heard the emperor's words, she was secretly shocked. The emperor has seen what happened just now.

"Your Majesty …" Zheng Ziyi took out a silk handkerchief and covered her nose, looking as if she was about to cry: "Chenqie came to find the empress, but the empress not only made chenqie stand outside with a big belly, but also made it difficult for chenqie …"

"Is that so? I could clearly see that these maidservants would do whatever you want to them. How are they going to make things difficult for you?"

"They tricked chenqie, saying that the empress wasn't here. But chenqie clearly sent someone to investigate before she came. The empress is in the palace." Zheng Ziyi couldn't wait to drag the empress down with her.

"Is that so? Men, go and invite the empress out." Mu Zheng ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Qin acknowledged him and quickly went in.

Before long, a few maidservants hurried out with Eunuch Qin. "Greetings to the emperor. The empress has gone to visit the empress dowager. She hasn't returned yet."

"The servants have already told the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine refused to believe them." The leader of the maidservants whispered.

"How, how is this possible, obviously …" When Zheng Ziyi heard this, she couldn't help but take half a step back and shake her head in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this must be a lie!" "The empress had set herself up in the palace. She has always treated chenqie harshly, so when chenqie thought of coming out soon, she came to ask the empress to make some arrangements. However, she avoided it." Zheng Ziyi was still unwilling and wanted the Emperor to confirm.

"Alright, I shall see how far you can go today." Mu Zheng was half-believing and half-doubting, but it was obvious that he no longer had the patience towards Zheng Ziyi.

"Someone, go pay our respects to the empress dowager for Zhen. Remember, don't disturb her." Mu Zheng warned.

"Yes." He saw a young eunuch hurriedly leave.

The empress dowager was happily chatting with the empress when she heard the emperor send a young eunuch to pay his respects.

When the empress heard that the young eunuch had come, she couldn't help but smile. It looked like this Zheng Ziyi must have alarmed the emperor. Everything was going with her.

"Your majesty is really considerate. Today, you specifically called someone over to pay your respects." Tell him that everything is fine with This Dowager. Let him only take care of the court affairs. Don't worry about This Dowager. " The empress dowager kindly instructed the young eunuch.

"Yes." The eunuch turned around and hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty, this servant saw clearly that the empress was chatting with the empress dowager in her palace." The young eunuch returned to report.

"Impossible, then did you ask when she went? Did she go there after me?" Zheng Ziyi felt indignant.

"Enough, why are you still making trouble for me!" Mu Zheng could no longer hold it in and snapped at Zheng Ziyi. It was the first time since she had regained her favor that Mu Zheng had been so angry with her.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Seeing Long Yan's fury, everyone was so frightened that they quickly fell to the ground.

"Ever since you became pregnant, I have been taking care of you. I ordered the various harem to supply you with everything first, followed by the others. What else do you lack?" "And you, relying on my love, became more and more arrogant. You even made a ruckus in the empress palace today, even criticizing people. You really disappoint me."

Mu Zheng looked at Zheng Ziyi, utterly disappointed and regretful. Previously, he had pampered her too much, which was why he ended up like this.

"Your majesty, chenqie knows she's wrong." When Zheng Ziyi saw that the emperor was angry, she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. Furthermore, she was about to give birth soon, so her complexion couldn't be strained anymore. She could only beg for mercy, hoping to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Mu Zheng looked at her swollen face, then at her big belly. In the end, he couldn't bear to punish her any further and forgave her.

"Get up, go back to the palace and wait for labour. Don't come out again to stir up more trouble."

"Thank you, your majesty." Zheng Ziyi made her way over, and Lulu hurriedly supported her back.

The emperor looked at her back as she left and couldn't help but shake his head. The empress dowager had said that he must pay attention to sharing and doting on her in the future. Otherwise, those who were doted on would easily become pampered.

Zheng Ziyi forced a smile on her face. Secretly, her hand had been firmly pinched into Lu Luo's palm. Firstly, it was because she hated the empress, and secondly, she was in unbearable pain.

After avoiding the emperor's gaze, Zheng Ziyi collapsed onto Lulu's body. "Quick, quickly send me back to the palace. I'm about to give birth." Zheng Ziyi was panting heavily as sweat poured down her forehead like rain.

"Alright, Empress, please hold on." The green loli said as she quickly supported her into the palace.
