Chapter 287: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 30
A few days later, rumors began to spread, and all kinds of unfavorable rumors about Yu Yao spread quickly, and the whole capital was talking about it.

Prince Qin's Mansion, Mingxi Garden.

Yu Yao was leaning on the couch reading a storybook. She was wearing a light blue dress, her belly was slightly bulging, and her waterfall-like black hair was casually scattered behind her.

There was a plate of fresh fruit on the small table next to the couch, exuding the fragrance of fruit.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice, onto her delicate face, outlining a soft contour.

At this time, Xiangling hurried in, looking panicked, "Master, this is bad, people are saying bad things about you everywhere."

Yu Yao frowned, calmly put the book aside, and looked at Xiang Ling, "What's going on? What are you talking about?"

Xiangling took two breaths and said, "Master, there are rumors outside that you are a spy sent from the Western Regions to Jing State, with the intention of harming our dynasty. They also say that the child in your belly has an unknown origin, that it is not the prince's child, and that it is an illegitimate child. These rumors are spread with details, and many people are discussing it."

Yu Yao's eyes turned cold, "I know, you can leave now."

"Master..." Xiangling's eyes flashed with worry.

Yu Yao waved her hand, "I want to calm down."

"Yes."

Xiangling's eyes were filled with even more worry, but she did not dare to disobey her order and retreated tactfully.

After Xiangling retreated.

Yu Yao asked the system in her heart: "Tongtong, who is spreading rumors about me behind my back?"

The system quickly popped up a message, without hiding anything: "It was the Queen. She hated you for seducing Xuanyuan Zan, so she sent people to spread this rumor."

Yu Yao was so angry that she laughed, she just felt it was ridiculous.

A few days ago, Xuanyuan Zan suddenly appeared in the Prince of Qin's Mansion and stopped her to talk for a while.

Someone must have secretly told the Queen about this. The Queen was jealous and must have held a grudge against her.

"Tongtong, give the queen a long-acting nightmare pill."

Yu Yao leaned on the couch and said with a cold expression.

It is impossible for the Queen to sit on the throne so firmly without blood on her hands.

The harem is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

With the blessing of the nightmare pill, she didn't believe that the queen could still sleep at night.

The queen would be very scared if she dreamed every night about the people she had killed.

There may not be any problem in the short term, but over time, you will inevitably suffer from neurasthenia and eventually become completely crazy.

How can a mad person become a queen?
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

When Xuanyuan Zan heard these rumors, he became furious.

"Investigate, investigate for me. The King of Qin is on a war expedition, yet you spread such rumors. You have ulterior motives and disturbed the King of Qin. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Xuanyuan Zan threw the memorial in his hand away, his face turned ashen, and his roar shook the sky.

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial study were trembling with fear. They prostrated themselves on the ground and dared not look up.

He immediately summoned his most trusted eunuch Li An and the commander of the imperial guards Zhao Chang into the palace.

"This servant has met the emperor."

"Wei Chen has met the emperor."

The two of them walked into the imperial study one after the other and spoke respectfully.

Xuanyuan Zan looked at the two people who walked into the hall and ordered in a cold voice: "Pass on my order to immediately block the news and not allow the rumors to spread further, let alone spread them to the front line of the Western Region, so as not to disturb the heart of the King of Qin."

"The slave obeys the order."

"The minister obeys the order."

The chief eunuch Li An and the commander of the imperial guards Zhao Chang respectfully accepted the order.

Then he retreated.

Although Xuanyuan Zan didn't quite believe these rumors in his heart, he still secretly sent people to investigate.

Yu Yao's identity as a killer from the Western Regions was quietly erased as soon as it was discovered in Xuanyuan City.

Xuanyuan Zan's people found nothing.

But the rumor was quickly suppressed and did not spread further.

The queen was very angry when she saw that the rumors were suppressed and the emperor did not do anything to that bitch.

There was a huge fire in Fengyi Palace, and countless porcelain pieces were smashed.

The Queen wanted to deal with Yu Yao, but she was powerless.

She has been having nightmares every night recently, and she is either dreaming about the ghosts of those she had killed seeking revenge on her.

I dreamed that I was deposed by the emperor and banished to the cold palace, where I lived a miserable life, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear.

It was late at night and the world was quiet. The moonlight was like water, shining through the carved window lattices onto the floor of the Queen's bedroom.

"Ah..." A shrill scream broke the silence of the bedroom.

The queen suddenly woke up from a nightmare, her face pale and her expression terrified.

The nanny beside her heard the noise in the side hall and hurried over.

She lifted the layers of bed curtains and asked anxiously, "My Lady, what happened?"

The queen's face was as pale as paper and she was breathing heavily. She looked at the maid and said in a trembling voice, "Mammy, I dreamed that I was deposed by the emperor and banished to the cold palace, where I was alone and helpless in that desolate place." The candlelight in the bedroom swayed in the night wind, making the queen's face look changeable.

The nanny looked helpless. She stepped forward and held the queen's hand, patting it gently, and soothing her softly, "Your Majesty, it's just a nightmare. You are the supreme master of the harem and the mother of the country. How could you end up like that?"

The queen frowned, still very scared, "But that dream was too real. I even dreamed that those wronged souls came to take my life. I was really scared."

She was able to hold the position of queen because of how many lives she had on her hands, even she herself couldn't count them.

She dreams about those wronged dead souls every night, chasing her for her life. It would be strange if she wasn't scared.

Outside the window, the occasional chirping of nightingales added to the eeriness.

Mammy's face changed slightly, and she felt a chill down her spine. However, she still managed to remain calm and comforted him:

"My lady, I think the complicated affairs in the palace these days must have made you worried, which led to this nightmare."

She pondered for a moment, then said, "If your majesty is really scared, then hold a ritual in the palace."

The queen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you can arrange this tomorrow."

"it is good."

The nanny helped the queen lie down slowly, and placed a soothing sachet beside the pillow.

Seeing the queen close her eyes and fall asleep again, he quietly left.

But I always felt uneasy, as if there was something behind me.

A few days later, a grand ceremony was held in the palace.

The square in the palace was filled with all kinds of ritual implements and offerings, with the air filled with incense and flickering candlelight.

The monks lined up neatly and chanted in unison. Their voices were so loud and solemn that they seemed to penetrate the clouds.

Qin Wangfu.

When Yu Yao heard that a ritual was being held in the palace, she knew why and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You've done so many bad things, are you scared?"

She sat on the couch, took a sip of fragrant tea, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

Unfortunately, this ritual is doomed to be useless and it would be in vain even if it was performed.

As night fell, Fengyi Palace was shrouded in deep darkness.

The palace walls are tall and solemn, casting eerie shadows under the moonlight.

The ritual did not have any effect, and the queen was still haunted by nightmares every night.

Every night, she would scream in fear in her sleep, and when she woke up she was sweating profusely and looked increasingly haggard.

The originally elegant face gradually lost its luster, the eye sockets became sunken, and the eyes were bloodshot.

The whole person is like a frightened bird, trembling at the slightest disturbance.

Sometimes, the queen would even talk nonsense when she was awake, muttering words that others could not understand, as if she was arguing with the fear in her dream.

The palace maids and eunuchs saw this and were all terrified, but dared not say anything.

The queen's appearance caused a lot of discussion among people in the palace.

Some concubines who were trying to curry favor with the powerful began to distance themselves from her, fearing that they would be contaminated by her bad luck.

The queen's close associates were all worried, but there was nothing they could do.

When Xuanyuan Zan learned of the queen's condition, he felt sympathy, but he was too busy with state affairs to take care of her, so he could only summon the imperial physician to take a look.

But the imperial physician's visit was of no use, and even after taking a lot of medicine, he still had nightmares every night.

The queen's mental state became worse and worse, and she became a little abnormal. She often talked nonsense and acted crazy.

She was forced to hand over the palace power in her hands.

Seeing this, the concubines who were not on good terms with the queen sent people to spread rumors, saying that the queen had done too many bad things, which was why she had nightmares every night, and that it must be retribution.

For a time, rumors about the queen in the palace became more and more intense.

When Xuanyuan Zan learned that the rumors about the queen in the palace were becoming more and more intense, he became furious.

On the one hand, they sent people to suppress the rumors, and on the other hand, they sent people to investigate secretly.

See if anyone has drugged the queen.

Xuanyuan Zan did not find out who had drugged the woman, but he did find evidence that the queen had harmed people in the past.

Those dusty secrets gradually surfaced, each one shocking.

Not to mention the lives of the palace maids and eunuchs below.

Many of the concubines and princes who fell into the water accidentally, died for various reasons, and the fetuses who suffered accidental miscarriages were all caused by the Queen.

No one knew what happened, only that the queen was suddenly banished to the cold palace on the grounds that she was immoral and unworthy of being a queen.

The news spread like wildfire to every corner of the palace.

The news also reached the Prince of Qin's Mansion. After hearing it, Yu Yao curled up the corners of her mouth in joy.

She won't hurt anyone on her own initiative.

But at the same time, if anyone dares to do anything to her, she will definitely fight back.

A deposed queen in the cold palace, who was also a mentally ill lunatic, no longer posed any threat to her.

No need to pay attention to it anymore.
