These words, both in tone and in the speaker's demeanor, reveal a deep sense of contempt.

Su Liuyue stood up silently and glanced at the emperor and empress in front of her calmly. She saw that Empress Chen seemed to be slightly startled, and a bit of anger appeared on her face for a moment, but she suppressed it fiercely in almost the blink of an eye. Her pair of affectionate and graceful peach blossom eyes turned red, and she said with endless forbearance and grievance: "Your Majesty, how can you say that? Since entering this palace, Your Majesty has probably forgotten the existence of my concubine. This is the first time I have seen Your Majesty in more than a month, and Your Majesty actually spoke to me in such a tone..."

"Alright, alright!"

The emperor couldn't help but look angry, with deep disdain in his eyes, "Look at you, you are becoming more and more out of character! You are making these two children laugh at you for nothing!
If you say one more word of nonsense, I will leave right now, believe it or not!"

The audience ceremony has not been completed yet. If the emperor leaves like this, it will be a shame for Yunke and Su Liuyue next week.

Su Liuyue frowned slightly, and saw that Empress Chen's chest was slightly rising and falling, her lips and eyes were trembling constantly, and she looked at the emperor with an expression of extreme grievance and extreme forbearance, but in the end she said nothing.

The atmosphere in the Taihang Hall suddenly became strangely tense to the extreme, and there was no trace of the joyous wedding atmosphere at all.

The attendants beside the emperor and empress seemed to have become accustomed to the way they interacted with each other. They did not seem surprised at all, but just looked numb and calm.

Several palace maids beside Empress Chen were secretly comforting her with their eyes and expressions.

Su Liuyue pursed her lips slightly.

It seems that her previous guess was correct. Although Zhou Xiaokun married Queen Chen, he despised her identity as a merchant's daughter from the bottom of his heart. He married her just for the Chen family's huge wealth.

And it was obvious that Empress Chen was not an open-minded and wise woman. She cared about her husband's contempt and cold treatment of her, but she could not do anything about it and could only keep it in her heart.

If you keep holding it in like this, there's no guarantee that there won't be problems.

For several moments just now, Su Liuyue thought she could not hold it back any longer and would explode.

She was only paying attention to the emperor and empress in front of her, and did not notice that Zhou Yunke, who was standing next to her, had deep mockery in his eyes.

During the following ceremony, the faces of His Majesty and Empress Chen became gloomier and uglier than the other. Su Liuyue pretended not to see them and silently followed the instructions of the attendants. She did so when she was asked to hold the cup and take the dried meat, and she did so when she was asked to kneel. Finally, at the moment when the audience ceremony was completed, His Majesty simply flicked his sleeves and stood up, striding out.

He didn't even say a word to Zhou Yunke and Su Liuyue.

It was as if he couldn't bear to stay in the same palace with Queen Chen.

The female official beside Empress Chen was Aunt Huiming, who had been with Su Liuyue during the wedding yesterday. Upon seeing this, she immediately dismissed all the other attendants in the Taihang Palace.

Almost at the moment when all the other attendants retreated, Queen Chen suddenly screamed and swept everything on the small table next to her to the ground.

Aunt Huiming hurried over and tried to stop Queen Chen, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. This is still Taihang Palace, not Changchun Palace..."

Changchun Palace was the bedroom where Empress Chen lived and worked.

However, Empress Chen's face was ferocious, and the muscles on her cheeks were tense. It was obvious that she would not listen to anything. When she saw Aunt Huiming reaching out to stop her, she suddenly grabbed Aunt Huiming's hand like a mad beast and bit it hard!
Su Liuyue's eyes suddenly widened slightly.

Look at the Queen's behavior, could she be suffering from bipolar disorder?
However, Aunt Huiming only frowned slightly. Even though her voice was a little weak due to the pain, she still whispered softly to comfort her: "Empress, please calm down. His Majesty's people are still outside the Taihang Palace..." When Su Liuyue heard her say this, she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

The emperor's attitude towards Empress Chen was clearly the main cause of her illness. The more she said so, the crazier Empress Chen would become.

Sure enough, the next moment, a fierce light flashed in Empress Chen's eyes. She bit Aunt Huiming's hand tightly and refused to let go. At the same time, her five fingers turned into claws and she was about to grab Aunt Huiming's face!

Su Liuyue was about to run over to stop him, but Zhou Yunke was faster than her. She saw that he had come behind Queen Chen without her knowing when, and his right hand turned into a blade, and he chopped her neck fiercely.

Empress Chen froze for a moment, and then she fell down softly.

Immediately, a palace maid ran forward and took Empress Chen.

Zhou Yunke glanced at Empress Chen coldly, then turned to Aunt Huiming and said coldly, "Send someone to send our mother back."

Aunt Huiming covered her arm that was bitten and bleeding, and said with a pale face, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will send the queen back safely."

"Ah."

Zhou Yunke said calmly, "Has mother lost her mind like she did just now?"

"Not much... This is probably related to the fact that His Majesty has been visiting Her Majesty less often recently. Previously, almost every time His Majesty came to visit Her Majesty, he would have a big quarrel with Her Majesty. Once His Majesty left, Her Majesty would... would lose her mind...

However, since entering the palace, His Majesty has been surrounded by countless beauties, and His Majesty thinks of the Empress even less often. Just as the Empress said, in the past month or so, the Empress has only just seen His Majesty. "

Aunt Huiming sighed and said, "When His Majesty does not appear in front of Her Majesty, Her Majesty will only lose her mind once every seven or eight days. With a little guidance, she will calm down quickly.

However, the Queen's mental state seems to be getting worse recently, and she is often startled. Previously, a few ginsengs and soup spoons were missing from the storeroom of Changchun Palace, and the Queen kept saying that there was a thief in our Changchun Palace, and that thief must be here to harm her..."

Zhou Yunke was slightly startled, "Soup spoon?"

"Your Highness, these are not ordinary soup spoons. They are the kind of soup spoons that are worth collecting. They were included in the gifts sent by the major families before. The missing soup spoons are one with a gold-inlaid auspicious cloud pattern, which I remember was given by the Wei family, and one with a bronze dragon head Si Nan spoon, which I remember... was given by the Zheng family."

Aunt Huiming said quickly, "It seems that our Changchun Palace was really robbed. This thief could only be someone in our Changchun Palace. I have been busy investigating recently, but it seems that the thief was only after money, so I did not report it to Your Highness immediately."

Aunt Huiming reported every detail, and the palace maids beside her also looked as if it was a matter of course.

I'm afraid that the person they really serve is not Empress Chen, but Zhou Yunke.

Su Liuyue looked at Zhou Yunke's expression, which was even colder than usual. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "If the Queen... ahem, the Queen Mother loses her mind again, you should try not to mention my father in front of her."

Aunt Huiming was startled, as if she just remembered Su Liuyue's existence. She quickly turned to Su Liuyue, bowed, and said with a bitter smile: "My Lady Crown Princess, I'm sorry to make you laugh today. We usually know that as long as the Queen is exposed to the affairs of the Emperor, she will...will get even more out of control. But today, I thought that the Crown Princess was watching, and I was a little anxious, so I said the wrong thing." (End of this chapter)
