　　 Yan Zhaozhao seemed to hear what Xie Ciyan said to her, but before she could respond, she could not resist the overwhelming fatigue and fell into a deep sleep. When she

　　woke up again, it was already the dawn of the next day.

　　She was wearing dry pajamas, and the bedside felt cold to the touch. It seemed that Xie Ciyan had left for a long time. Yan Zhaozhao called Biluo and prepared to get up to wash and dress.

　　When Biluo saw her queen wake up, a trace of joy flashed across her face, and she hurried to the bed. "My queen, you finally got up."

　　Yan Zhaozhao couldn't help frowning. The moment the door of the bedroom opened, she seemed to hear a little noise coming from outside. "What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?" Biluo

　　helped her queen up, and said in a low voice as she walked, "My queen, something happened in Shoukang Palace last night." Yan Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little interested, and raised her chin to signal her to continue. "The Empress Dowager had a nightmare last night. The imperial physician was called in late at night, but the nightmare still could not be cured."

　　She lowered her voice even lower, cupped her palm and whispered in Yan Zhaozhao's ear: "It is said that the Empress Dowager was unconscious after waking up from the nightmare, and kept shouting the posthumous titles of the late emperor and Concubine Ning, incoherently, like... like she was crazy." Biluo's voice was even softer for the last few words, as if she was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would hear it.

　　Yan Zhaozhao's heart shuddered, and her eyes were more horrified. "Are you serious?"

　　Biluo frowned, "The matter of madness was spread by the servants in Shoukang Palace, and no one saw with their own eyes whether the Empress Dowager..." Biluo did not continue to say the next words, but Yan Zhaozhao had already understood the meaning of her words. Her brows relaxed for a moment, and then she remembered something and frowned again. "Last night, there was a lot of noise. Those concubines and masters were waiting to come to the palace of the queen at dawn, and accompany the queen to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the queen mother."

　　Yan Zhaozhao lowered her eyes and thought about it. The queen mother's nightmare should be the same method as her previous poisoning. Although she didn't know why the person behind the scenes targeted the queen mother this time, what really concerned people was that after the queen mother had a nightmare, she actually called out the late emperor and Concubine Ning. She couldn't help but think that in the last nightmare, she saw the deceased Concubine Yan coming back to her to claim her life and injustice. Could it be that this time the queen mother saw the late emperor and Concubine Ning coming back to claim her life?

　　It was about the late emperor and Concubine Ning. As the queen of the central palace, she had no reason to ignore it, so she hurriedly washed and dressed, changed into a more plain palace dress and left the bedroom.

　　As soon as she stepped into the main hall of Fengyi Palace, the concubines who were sitting on the chairs at the bottom drinking tea and chatting stood up and bowed to her to greet her. "I pay my respects to the Empress, and wish her good health and happiness."

　　Yan Zhaozhao held Biluo's hand and walked to the main seat at the top, then slowly said, "Everyone, get up." She looked around at the concubines who came here, smiled, and said, "What are you doing here in Fengyi Palace so early in the morning?"

　　She knew the truth, but pretended to be confused in front of them. Yan Zhaozhao was the Empress, and even if she really knew about the Shoukang Palace, she couldn't take the initiative to speak out. It was a crime of disrespect to speculate without actual evidence.
