As long as you see the emperor, at that time, you don't need to say anything, the emperor will ask her when he sees her face, and she will naturally tell the queen's conspiracy and atrocities.

Zhao Zhaoyi had wishful thinking.

Anxiously waiting until dinner time, anticipating that Dongfang Chen might come back soon, Zhao Zhaoyi thought about it, made herself a little more miserable, the redness and swelling on her face became more obvious and terrifying, and then sat on the couch and wept.

"The emperor is here—" just after all the preparations, the eunuch's voice was heard from outside.

Zhao Zhaoyi was stunned, and then cried more and more miserably, without making a sound, just shedding tears one after another, looking more and more pitiful.

When Dongfang Chen came in, what he saw was such a miserable scene.

"See the emperor." Zhao Zhaoyi wiped away tears pitifully, then stood up and saluted.

"Zhao Zhaoyi, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Chen frowned, looking at Zhao Zhaoyi's red and swollen face.

Zhao Zhaoyi didn't speak, but kept crying with her head down.

Dongfang Chen frowned even tighter, stretched out his hand, lifted Zhao Zhaoyi's chin, looked at her swollen face, frowned and said nothing.

Zhao Zhaoyi burst into tears, as if she had suffered all kinds of grievances but dared not speak out.

After a long time, Dongfang Chen said in a deep voice: "...don't cry. Tell me, what happened? Why did your face become like this?"

Zhao Zhaoyi suddenly choked up and cried out: "Your majesty... don't ask, I guess, the concubine will not be able to stay in the future... The emperor is in Xueyun Palace, the emperor should go... go somewhere else, otherwise the concubine's face... ...will be beaten to death." Zhao Zhaoyi said with a sob.

Dongfang Chen's face turned livid: "Who hit you? The empress, or the noble concubine?"

Zhao Zhaoyi cried more and more miserably, but she just cried and didn't speak. Dongfang Chen looked impatient and looked at a group of maids around him, and said coldly, "Tell me, who beat your master?"

The maids around all shook their bodies and lowered their heads even lower.

"Say!" Dongfang Chen's face darkened, and he shouted.

Among them, a female official who followed Zhao Zhaoyi to Fengxiang Palace to pay her respects shook her body, then blessed her body, and tremblingly said in a barely audible voice: "My Majesty, when I went to Fengxiang Palace to pay my respects in the morning, I was greeted by the Queen's Empress Palace." The people here beat them."

Dongfang Chen's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Zhao Zhaoyi, "Is it true?"

"..." Zhao Zhaoyi sobbed and cried, but didn't answer, so it was a tacit consent.

Dongfang Chen's face turned pale, he was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "Why did she hit you?"

"..." Zhao Zhaoyi still twitched and remained silent.

"You, come and tell me!" Dongfang Chen turned to the female officer just now.

The female official shook her body again, swallowed her saliva, and then said tremblingly: "Your servant... I don't know, it seems that it's because the empress didn't listen to her... or something like that."

Of course, this female official was instructed by Zhao Zhaoyi in advance, and Zhao Zhaoyi asked her to tell the truth.In this way, Zhao Zhaoyi can create a weak and virtuous image for herself who suffers without saying anything.

"Didn't listen to the queen?" Dongfang Chen frowned, and turned to Zhao Zhaoyi again, "Zhao Zhaoyi, come and tell me, what do you mean you didn't listen to the queen?"

"Your Majesty, please don't ask any more questions, you should go, my concubine dare not serve you anymore." Zhao Zhaoyi cried and sobbed.
