The Empress frowned slightly, still thinking about the Crown Prince.
Little did they know that rumors about her had already spread throughout the palace.
After the Taiping Villa massacre, although she survived, she was banished to the inner palace.
Although she was called the Empress, she was actually neglected, which was not much different from being banished to the Cold Palace.
"The Second Prince's methods?"
The Empress was still thinking.
Just then, a series of light and rapid footsteps approached from afar.
Following the sound, they saw a fair-skinned eunuch carrying freshly cooked bird's nest and walking forward in small steps.
"Your Majesty, this is the bird's nest I just prepared for you."
"You haven't eaten for several days. Your body won't be able to handle this afternoon."
After saying this, the eunuch quickly placed the cooked bird's nest on the table.
The Empress glanced at the eunuch and asked, "Little Li, has any news come? Has the Crown Prince's confinement been lifted?"
Leonardo DiCaprio shook his head, indicating that he had not received any messages.
He has been serving the Empress here for many years.
The huge palace was completely empty; the number of eunuchs and palace maids, including him, could be counted on one hand.
This clearly shows how much the empress had fallen out of favor.
Seeing that Li Zi was shaking his head, the Empress sighed helplessly, but didn't think much of it and picked up the bowl of bird's nest to eat.
"The taste of this bird's nest..."
After taking a couple of bites, the Empress frowned slightly, feeling that the taste of the bird's nest seemed a little strange.
But then I thought about it again and realized that I hadn't eaten bird's nest for a long time, so I relaxed.
After waiting for a short while, the Empress couldn't help but shake her head and sway her body, feeling completely dazed.
She instinctively slumped down, one hand resting on the table in front of her.
"what happened?"
"I……"
The Empress's eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Seeing this, Little Li panicked and quickly asked:
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"But is there something wrong with you?"
The Queen did not answer Li Zi. A surge of heat began to rise within her, and her cheeks flushed an unnatural red.
"Huff... huff!"
Immediately afterwards, the Queen's breathing became rapid.
Before long, she fell into a dazed and irrational state.
Her stockings had somehow slipped down to her ankles, revealing her pink toes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Little Li looked completely flustered and had no idea what was going on with the Queen.
At this point, the Queen's behavior had become even bolder.
She actually took off her clothes, revealing her bare skin, and her eyes were glazed over, completely devoid of her previous dignity.
Leonardo DiCaprio was shocked when he saw this scene.
He spent most of his time by the Empress's side.
Even with high walls and deep palace walls, and even after being castrated, loneliness still stirs deep within one's heart.
Having been with the Empress for many years, it's inevitable that he harbors some ulterior motives.
Seeing the Empress's crazy behavior, he felt a long-lost sense of pleasure amidst his fear.
"Miss!"
"Are you OK?"
After a moment of surprise, Little Li came to his senses and rushed forward to the Empress, helping her to her feet.
Driven by loneliness, after helping the Empress up, Little Li didn't care about her rudeness; instead, his eyes kept glancing at her disheveled appearance.
At this moment, the Empress desperately suppressed the raging evil fire within her body, and her consciousness briefly returned to normal.
"Someone...someone drugged me!"
After a moment's thought, the Empress immediately understood.
"Okay!"
"That was quite a quick move."
"The matter of the Crown Prince's Palace is still unresolved, and now they've set their sights on me!"
The Empress muttered to herself, her eyes turning cold and sinister.
At this moment, Little Li Zi, who was standing nearby, was unaware that the Queen had briefly regained consciousness.
Not only did she look at him more boldly, but she even helped the Empress pull down her off-shoulder dress.
His actions startled the Empress, who glared at him angrily.
Upon receiving the Empress's gaze, Li Zi was terrified.
Unexpectedly, the Empress's gaze, which had been so dazed just moments before, suddenly became so sharp.
"Your Majesty?"
Little Li exclaimed in surprise.
"Get out!"
The Empress shoved Little Li aside and smashed the celadon teacup on the table to the ground.
"Snapped!"
As the shards flew, one grazed Leonardo DiCaprio's cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
Little Li was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, but he still couldn't help but steal glances at Feng, the beautiful woman whose clothes were disheveled.
Her snow-white inner robe was half-open, revealing large patches of skin flushed an unnatural red. Her hair was disheveled, and heavy, labored breathing escaped from her lips.
"Your Majesty...are you feeling unwell? Let this servant..."
Little Li swallowed hard. In all his years of serving the Queen, he had never seen her show such a demeanor.
Those usually dignified phoenix eyes were now glistening with tears, making him feel hot all over.
"Bastard thing!!"
"presumptuous!"
The Empress, clinging to her last shred of reason, dug her nails deep into her palms.
She could clearly feel the strange heat surging within her body, and this lowly servant dared to look at her with such eyes.
In addition, the Empress also realized that she had been fine before, and it was only after eating the bird's nest that Little Li sent her that she became like this.
Upon thinking of this, she immediately paled and subconsciously felt that the lowly servant in front of her must have done something bad to her.
"Someone is coming!!"
The next moment, the empress shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the guards with swords standing outside the hall rushed straight into the hall.
They appear to be there to guard the place, but in reality, they are there to monitor the Empress.
Of course, if the Empress were to encounter any mishap, they would not stand idly by, as it was their duty.
The Empress, her hand trembling, pointed to Little Li kneeling on the ground.
"This scoundrel has defied his superior! Drag him away and have him beaten to death!"
Upon hearing the Empress's order, Li Zi was so terrified that he trembled all over.
"No!"
"My dear, please spare my life!"
"Little Li will never dare to do it again..."
Unfortunately, no matter how much he pleaded, it was to no avail. The four guards took him away directly, and his pitiful pleas for mercy gradually faded into the distance!
Afterwards, the empress slumped back onto the bed.
She could feel herself losing control, biting her lip tightly until she tasted blood.
For a moment, the Empress could no longer bear it, her defenses crumbled, and her slender fingers slipped under her skirt...
Time flies.
The midnight drum sounded.
The Empress recovered from her emotional turmoil.
She stared blankly at the embroidery of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix on the ceiling of the tent, and suddenly shivered.
Seeing the messy, damp bed, my anger surged and burned fiercely!
"hateful!"
"who is it?"
"How...how dare you! You actually dared to lay a hand on me!!"
The Empress said fiercely, knowing that what had happened before was no accident.
Instead, someone deliberately tried to harm her!
