The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

After all, she is his own daughter and the queen mother of a country, so the right prime minister can only try his best to reconcile.

Two sneers escaped from his dry throat.

"There must be a misunderstanding. Weichen believes that the Queen Mother thought of using water to cool down the two ladies out of good intentions."

As he spoke, he observed the expressions of Gu Chengfeng and Yun Yanfu from the corner of his eyes, only to find that instead of softening, their expressions became more gloomy, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Chen Zui smiled coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Since this is a misunderstanding, may I ask, where is the imperial doctor?"

"Gu Shangshu and Yun Shangshu's maid went to ask for the imperial doctor, but they were blocked and ran into the Jinluan Palace by mistake. If we hadn't caught up with the next court and this happened to us, the two young ladies would have died in the harem. I was bullied."

"How do you explain it?"

Wang Hanbo was speechless when pressed by Chen Zui, lacking his usual eloquent eloquence.

Chen's rhetoric was sharp and pointed to the point, making it impossible for anyone to refute.

Yun Musheng, who was pretending to be in a coma, felt gratitude surge in her heart as she listened to his impassioned defense of herself and Xiao Shu.

The feelings for Chen Zui grew like spring buds at this moment, becoming deeper and harder to extricate themselves from.

Even Gu Wangshu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but praise in his heart. Chen Houye was indeed an outstanding figure in all countries. His talents were really overqualified for use in the small world of the harem.

Gu Wangshu leaned comfortably in her uncle's arms. If it weren't for the hot weather and the noise in her ears, she would have almost fallen asleep.

Chen glanced at the right prime minister and the Queen Mother indifferently.

Taihui had only heard that Chen Zui had extraordinary abilities, but now that he had experienced it himself, it felt like a dull knife piercing his heart, which was unbearable.

It was far more difficult for her to accept than the old emperor's neglect and sarcasm.

After all, her status has changed now. She is the highest-status and most noble woman in Helian.

Just a slight punishment to the daughter of a minister, but it attracted the blame of the ministers. This kind of humiliation made people crazy.

But she knew that her situation was on thin ice, and if she resisted with anger, neither civil servants nor military officers would stand on her side.

The Queen Mother silently took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the burning anger.

Her tone revealed helplessness and self-blame, as if she was looking for excuses for her mistakes.

"When these two children arrived at Fengyi Palace, the Ai family was having a meal and did not know that they were waiting outside. This caused them to faint from heat stroke. It was the Ai family's negligence."

Everyone present knew that the Queen Mother was looking for a way out.

But for her status, it is rare to be able to admit mistakes. If it were anyone else, she would definitely give the Empress Dowager face and not continue to pursue her.

But Chen Zui is no one else. His principle is that if he can kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he will not give up. If he can punish severely to set an example, he will not lift it up and put it down lightly.

What's more, this matter is related to Yun Musheng.

Since he planned to take advantage of Yun Musheng, he naturally needed to pay attention to her and take responsibility for her affairs.

Only in this way can he capture her heart and make her willing to go through fire and water for him.

"It turns out that Wei Chen misunderstood the Queen Mother. I knew that the Queen Mother was not capable of treating the daughter of a meritorious official harshly. It must be the people below who acted against the will, causing the two young ladies to suffer for no reason."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "In my opinion, anyone in Fengyi Palace who is indifferent while watching the two young ladies exposed in the scorching sun should be killed to prevent others from following the same example and breaking the rules."

The Queen Mother stared at him in disbelief, with shock and anger flashing in her eyes.

She understood the meaning of his words, which were a blatant offense to her.

In fact, everyone knows that what will happen if the Queen Mother makes a mistake, the Queen Mother cannot be punished.

But if the Queen Mother cannot be cured of her sins, why can’t she kill the people who serve her?

Chen Zui glanced sideways at the Queen Mother, then looked directly at Helian Jue, and asked in a cold voice:

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" His eyes were aggressive, as if he already knew Lord Helian's decision.

Lord Helian glanced around at the palace maids and eunuchs present, and there were a total of 30 of them.

If all these people are killed, the Queen Mother will have no one to serve her. Moreover, the maids and eunuchs are all following orders and are really innocent.

He pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

"What Chen Aiqing said is true. Miss Gu and Miss Yun should indeed be punished for neglecting them. However, who can avoid making some mistakes in life? Well, if Miss Gu and Miss Yun are not in danger, I will spare you from death, but The death penalty can be avoided and the crime cannot be escaped. Each of you will be given twenty big boards as a punishment. Go to the Clothing Bureau immediately; if the two ladies make any mistake, you will die to apologize."

"Chen Aiqing, Gu Aiqing, Yun Aiqing, what do you think of this approach?"

The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

The palace maids and eunuchs escaped death and knelt down to thank them.

The only one who looked ugly was the Queen Mother.

This farce came to an end after the courtiers left the harem and returned to their homes.

Helianjue sighed heavily at this time, and said to the Queen Mother in a tone full of emotion:

"Mother, I know that you are doing this for my own good, and I hope that I can help the royal family as soon as possible. However, my energy is limited, and Helian is busy with state affairs, so I really can't spare the time to pamper my concubines."

The Queen Mother looked around the empty Fengyi Palace. All the maids and eunuchs had been dismissed, leaving Cui Jinxiu alone.

This kind of punishment is not heavy for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother chuckled and said: "I, the Queen Mother, am not as important as the daughters of two ministers."

It's hard for Helian Jue to say anything to her. In fact, this is the truth.

Gu Wangshu's status in his heart was indescribable. Not only did she have an extremely intelligent mind, but she also had extraordinary agility. She was a rare woman who could only be encountered but not sought after.

And Yun Musheng's beauty is unrivaled. If Chen Zui's plan is followed and her beauty is used as a weapon, it will be of great benefit to the Helian Kingdom.

What the two of them can do for Helian Kingdom far exceeds that of the Queen Mother living in the harem.

Lord Helian said with relief:

"Queen mother, don't worry about your son. Now that you have become the queen mother, you should enjoy your life. What your son has to do is not only to protect Helian, but also to make Helian grow stronger.

"With Chen Aiqing, a man of unrivaled intelligence and scheming, and a group of loyal ministers, I believe that Helian will become the overlord of one party and even unify the world."

The Queen Mother's heart trembled.

Unify the world?What a grand wish, she couldn't even imagine it.

"It seems that the Ai family is narrow-minded." She sighed.

"You have been on the throne for half a year, and the regime is unstable, and..."

After saying this, the Queen Mother's expression became a little strange.

"And there is a second prince, He Lianhuan, who is eyeing him."

"He Lianhuan has made great contributions this time, and he must have captured the hearts of the army. The Gu family's legitimate daughter is very close to him. If he wants to rebel against you, it will be easy."

Although He Lianhuan's whereabouts were unknown, the Queen Mother's consciousness as a woman made her uneasy, and she always wanted to find ways to consolidate the imperial power to avoid being snatched away.

When the second prince He Lianhuan was mentioned, a complicated expression flashed across the Queen Mother's face.

"We shouldn't have kept him in the first place, we could have just killed him."

Helian Jue smiled bitterly.

"If we really kill him, can the lost city of Helian Kingdom be recaptured? Taiping City may have been breached long ago, and the Nalan Army may have already arrived at Yong'an City at this moment."

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment, and her heart was full of sorrow. It was neither a matter of killing He Lianhuan nor not, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's sad face, Lord Helian comforted him: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Helianhuan is a person who has an overall view. Helianhuan is in a period of turmoil. He will not disregard the safety of the country to overthrow my regime."

"Furthermore, I believe in the sincerity of Gu Aiqing and Yun Aiqing. You hurt their daughter this time and it was inappropriate."

"Aijia is not here for you."

"My son, I know." Helianjue said in a good-tempered manner, but he did not forget to be reasonable.

"But you can't hurt two innocent women because of me."

The Queen Mother had a long face helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's the Ai family's fault. The Ai family has done you a disservice."

Helian Jue lowered his head slightly: "My mother's wishes are understood by my son. Regarding Wang Miaomiao, I don't have any idea about her. Mother, don't blame her son for speaking badly. My cousin's character is difficult to achieve greatness."

The Queen Mother's expression was stern: "That's all, you can do whatever you want. The Ai family can't control it, and they don't want to do it anymore."
