　　In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor sat on the couch, looking at the pile of petitions on the table that were all blocking him from appointing a new queen next month, and he was very upset.

　　The emperor couldn't understand what was wrong with appointing a new queen. The ministers had never opposed the incompetent queen Yan Zhaozhao before. This time, they were both daughters of the Yan family, so why couldn't Man'er become his new queen! He just wanted the court officials to follow his words and obey him, but he never thought that he was still in mourning and couldn't encounter happy events at all.

　　He might even have forgotten that the Queen Mother of Dasheng, his biological mother, had just passed away for nearly half a year. The emperor didn't care about the death of his stepmother, and even the funeral was hastily handled. The emperor only showed up briefly and then hurried back to make love with Yan Zhiman without any taboos. The Queen Mother fought for her whole life and killed countless people, all to pave a splendid road for him. However, it was also because of this that the Emperor had been spoiled and extravagant since he was a child. He had long been spoiled. How could he become the ruler of a country?

　　Perhaps, such an emperor was the greatest retribution for the Queen Mother.

　　"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Outside the door, the slightly sharp voice of the eunuch came in. The Emperor was extremely annoyed and said, "I don't want to listen!"

　　I thought the eunuch would give up, but I never thought that the daring eunuch would raise the issue again: "Your Majesty, the matter, the matter is about the deposed queen in the cold palace."

　　The Emperor paused in reviewing the memorials, as if he was interested. He threw the memorials in his hand aside and let someone in. "What is it?" After nearly half a year of separation, Yan Zhaozhao must have been scared crazy by the cold and terrifying cold palace. Besides, Xie Ciyan, who sent troops to Fengguo, didn't know where his body was now. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little happier, and he also became a little more friendly to the eunuch.

　　The eunuch quietly observed the emperor's expression, and when he saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, he knelt on his knees and quickly told him the news he had heard: "Your servant... I heard that the deposed queen in the cold palace and the regent..." He glanced at the emperor's expression with fear, and finally said the last two words softly, "There is an affair."

　　"What did you say?!" The emperor suddenly stood up and kicked the eunuch in the chest. "Say it again!"

　　The eunuch rolled on the ground a few times, and quickly climbed up and knelt on the ground, enduring the pain, sweating from the pain. "Your Majesty, please calm down... I, this information was also heard from other palace maids, and I, I don't know... whether it is true!"

　　The emperor suddenly swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground, furious. "Speak, tell me in detail!"

　　The eunuch said "yes" several times before telling him everything the palace maid had said. "I heard from the maid who was in charge of serving the masters of the cold palace that on the night before His Royal Highness the Regent went to war, she saw him come out of the bedroom where the deposed queen lived late at night. At that time, she felt something was wrong and was about to go to the bedroom to find out at dawn. But before she had such an opportunity, she was told that the deposed queen no longer needed her to serve. At that time, she felt that the deposed queen and the regent had some hidden relationship."

　　The emperor clenched his fists, "It has been nearly half a year, why did you say it now?"

　　The voice of the eunuch supervisor was even lighter, "The maid felt that her words were not taken seriously, and if she said such words, she would invite a disaster. It was just a coincidence today. When I passed by, I heard this maid discussing with others whether to tell the emperor a huge secret. Since it concerns the emperor, I had to ask her about it, and finally the maid was willing to tell me about it."
