Shen Nianshu stood in the empty palace, her eyes full of doubts and unwillingness.

She looked up at the queen who was sitting high on the phoenix throne, and said firmly, "I don't know where I went wrong." Her voice echoed in the empty palace, making it particularly clear.

A sneer flashed across the queen's face, and she gently flicked her sleeves, with disdain and contempt in her eyes, "You don't know your fault? Well, I will let you understand." As she said that, she waved her hand, The maid next to her immediately presented a dossier.

The queen slowly opened the file and said coldly, "This is the crime of your father, Mr. Shen. He had liaison with the enemy and intended to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. As his daughter, do you still want to stay out of the matter?"

The queen's voice echoed in the empty palace, like a cold blade, cutting through the last glimmer of hope in Shen Nianshu's heart.

Her face instantly turned pale and her body trembled slightly, but her eyes shone with unyielding light.

"My concubine's father is a loyal minister and will never do anything to liaise with the enemy!" Although Shen Nianshu's voice was weak, it was full of determination.

The queen sneered and threw the file to the ground, "Loyal minister? Then how do you explain these evidences? Moreover, you are still living in the emperor's palace during this period. How can the daughter of a guilty minister do this?"

Shen Nianshu looked at the files on the ground and felt helpless in her heart. She knew that no matter how she defended herself, the Queen had already found her guilty.

"Fornication?" Shen Nianshu's voice was trembling, and her eyes revealed deep confusion and confusion, "I dare to ask the Queen, where did this news come from?"

Shen Nianshu just finished speaking.

There was a loud noise of "Bang——".

Shen Nianwan's figure felt like being hit by a heavy hammer. She instantly lost her balance and fell heavily onto the cold floor tiles. Her eyes were full of shock and fear, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

Her hands trembled to support her body, trying to stand up, but her legs seemed to have lost their strength and could not support her.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were flashing with tears, a sign of fright and despair.

" No ...impossible..." she murmured to herself, with endless trembling in her voice.

Her eyes were fixed on the file in the Queen's hand, as if she wanted to find a flaw or a glimmer of hope in it.

But the file was like an insurmountable mountain, weighing her down.

The people around were also frightened by this sudden change, and for a while, the palace was in chaos.

The maids were panicked. Some rushed to help Shen Nianwan, while others hurriedly rushed outside the palace, shouting loudly, "Send the doctor to the doctor quickly! Send the doctor to the doctor quickly!" The sound echoed in the empty palace, making it particularly harsh.

When the eunuchs outside the palace heard the shouting, they quickly quickened their pace and ran towards the imperial doctor's residence. Their faces were full of anxiety and their steps were in a hurry, for fear of delaying treatment.

Shen Nianwan sat slumped on the ground, her face pale and her expression in pain.

In the palace, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Shen Nianwan's face was as pale as paper, and her hands were tightly covering her abdomen. Blood seeped out from between her fingers, staining her palms red.

Her eyes were filled with fear and despair, and tears slid down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on the ground.

The queen stood aside, watching all this with cold eyes, a proud smile on her lips.

She waved her hand, signaling the palace maids not to panic, then turned to look at the imperial physician who had hurried over.

The imperial physician knelt in front of the queen, panting, his forehead covered in sweat.

He said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine fainted because she had just had a miscarriage and was too frightened. She is in critical condition and needs immediate treatment."

"But we need five-flavor lotus seeds as a medicine."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire palace seemed to become even more heavy.

The queen frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She looked at the imperial physician and said in a cold voice, "Five-flavor lotus seeds?"

imperial physician knelt on the ground tremblingly, his forehead pressed against the ground, and his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The five-flavor lotus seeds are a rare medicinal material, and it is really difficult for us to find them."

The queen snorted coldly and waved the doctor to leave. She turned around and looked outside the palace, with a fierce look in her eyes.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace, accompanied by the eunuch's sharp voice, "The Emperor has arrived——"

Bai Nanyu frowned , a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He walked quickly to Shen Nianwan, knelt down, and gently helped her up.

Shen Nianwan's face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, and she seemed to have lost consciousness. A trace of worry flashed in Bai Nanyu 's eyes. He turned to look at the queen and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across the Queen's face, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, you are here just in time. Concubine Shen suddenly fainted and needs five-flavored lotus seeds as a medicine."

Bai Nanyu frowned even more tightly. He looked at the queen, his eyes revealing deep displeasure, "Five-flavor lotus seeds?"

"Why did you faint for no reason?"

Shun Guiren suddenly said, "Maybe she knows about her father..."

The queen rolled her eyes at Concubine Shun.

Bai Nanyu heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then looked at the queen and said in a low voice, "You don't have to worry about these things, take good care of your health, the child is important."

Bai Nanyu turned around and strode out of the hall, his voice cold and firm, "I will send someone to look for the five-flavor lotus seeds. You all can go away."

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the palace instantly became tense.

The maids bowed their heads and carefully exited the palace, for fear of offending the angry emperor.

The queen looked at Bai Nanyu 's leaving figure with a proud smile on her lips. She turned to look at Shen Nianshu, with a cold light shining in her eyes.

"Shen Nianshu, you can't defeat me after all." The queen slowly walked up to Shen Nianshu, her voice low and threatening, "You are really too naive."

Shen Nianshu took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock and anger in her heart. She walked out of the palace slowly, each step feeling like she was stepping on heavy lead.

The sunlight outside the palace shone slantly on her body, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart. Her face was pale and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.

Caiwei hurriedly came forward. Seeing Shen Nianshu's appearance, she was shocked and asked quickly, "My dear lady, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

Shen Nianshu didn't answer, just shook her head silently. Her heart was filled with doubts and puzzlements. All of this seemed like a huge mystery, preventing her from seeing the truth clearly. What was the queen's plan?
