"Your Majesty did not go to the morning court today, and I, my concubine, deserve death."

"It's okay, I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time."

At this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the palace. A eunuch came in a hurry, his face was pale, and he said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the concubine and the queen..." The eunuch hadn't finished speaking.

The emperor had turned around and walked towards the door.

Shen Nianshu sneered, Bai Nanyu , Bai Nanyu , what do you think I am?

Walking on the road, Bai Nanyu looked at the eunuch and asked, "You just said, what happened to the two of them?"

The eunuch reported in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine and the empress had a fight in the imperial garden. The scene was chaotic and the palace people didn't know what to do."

Bai Nanyu paused in his steps and frowned.

Bai Nanyu was approaching the imperial garden, he could still vaguely hear the screams of women and the exclamations of the palace people. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go take a look."

In the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Concubine and the Queen were already fighting. Their clothes were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their faces were filled with anger and unwillingness. The palace servants around them were frightened, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them. The Imperial Concubine was holding a jade hairpin, and the Queen was grabbing the Imperial Concubine's hair. The two of them fought back and forth, and it was difficult to separate them.

Bai Nanyu walked into the imperial garden with a sullen face. Seeing this, the palace servants around him knelt down and saluted. His eyes were like knives, shooting directly at the two people who were fighting, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Stop!"

froze in fear at the sound , and then turned to look at the source of the sound. When they saw Bai Nanyu 's cold face, the anger in their hearts was instantly extinguished, replaced by panic and uneasiness.

Bai Nanyu walked forward slowly, his eyes swept over the two of them, and finally stopped at their embarrassed faces. He took a deep breath, tried to calm the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "You two, follow me."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind him in silence. The imperial concubine and the queen looked at each other, and saw fear and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

They knew that this matter had become a big deal, and Bai Nanyu 's anger was beyond what they could bear.

Bai Nanyu looked at the imperial concubine and the queen kneeling in front of him with a sullen face. Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, and their clothes were in disarray, revealing traces of the fierce fight just now.

The palace servants around dared not make a sound, for fear of becoming victims of the storm.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if a tight string could break at any time.

Bai Nanyu 's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's souls.

He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? How dare you two fight like this in public, how unbecoming it is!"

Shen Nianwan raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and she argued aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, it was the Queen who provoked me first, and I was just self-defense."

When the queen heard this, she immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you who struck first and injured my concubine's maid!"

The two got emotional and quarreled again, their voices shrill and harsh, making the palace people around them tremble.

Bai Nanyu frowned , his eyes revealing impatience. He slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Both of you, shut up!"

The imperial concubine and the queen were so frightened that they immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Bai Nanyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stood up and walked in front of the two of them, staring at them with eyes as sharp as a knife .

The Queen trembled in her voice, with some reluctance and grievance, and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you favor the Imperial Concubine, but I am also your Queen, how can I bear this humiliation. The Imperial Concubine...she actually spit in my food, which is a great insult to me. I was angry for a moment, so I had an argument with her."

Bai Nanyu's face darkened when he heard this. He turned to look at the imperial concubine, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The imperial concubine's face turned pale and she quickly denied it, "I didn't do that! How could I do such a disgusting thing?" With tears in her eyes, she looked at Bai Nanyu pitifully , hoping that he could believe her.

However, Bai Nanyu did not express his opinion immediately, his eyes wandered between the two of them.

Bai Nanyu 's face became increasingly gloomy and he frowned.

"Are you two arguing here over such a small matter?" His voice was as cold as ice, making the air around them seem to freeze.

The imperial concubine and the queen both lowered their heads and dared not speak a word.

Bai Nanyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that as the king of a country, he couldn't lose his sense of proportion in such a small matter.

He turned and walked to the stone bench next to him, sat down and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to hear you accusing each other here. As the masters of the harem, you should set an example for the palace people. Don't you feel ashamed to fight over a small matter like you are doing now?"

Bai Nanyu said coldly, "You two, each of you will be confined to your room for ten days and reflect on your mistakes."

When the imperial concubine and the queen heard this, they looked up in astonishment, their eyes full of disbelief.

Nanyu aggrievedly and wanted to say something, but in the end she just opened her mouth and no sound came out.

The queen bit her lower lip tightly, her face pale. She knew that she was impulsive this time, but she couldn't swallow this anger.

Bai Nanyu didn't even look at them again, just turned around and walked away.

Shen Nianwan followed Linglong back to her palace. As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, she immediately turned around and looked at Linglong, with a firm light shining in her eyes.

"Linglong, have you found out who it is?" Her voice was low and powerful, as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart.

Linglong nodded and carefully handed over a note.

She looked at the names carefully, and her mind quickly recalled every person associated with these names.

A coldness flashed in Shen Nianwan's eyes, and she clutched the note in her hand tightly, as if she wanted to crush it.

"Okay, she actually stretched her hands here." She murmured in a low voice, her tone full of anger and unwillingness.

Linglong stood aside and carefully observed Shen Nianwan's face. She knew that her master was really angry this time.

Shen Nianwan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sky outside the window, but her heart was filled with waves.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions. Then he turned to look at Linglong, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"Linglong, go get ready. I am going to personally confront this person who dares to provoke me." There was unquestionable determination in her voice, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on that person.
