The Queen Mother promised to exchange Queen Song's life for another.

Shen Wan didn't believe this, and Xie Jingyan didn't believe it even more.

If the Queen Mother really wanted Queen Song's life, Queen Song's ten lives would not be enough for the Queen Mother.

For the sake of Queen Song's life, she wasted the gold medal given by the late emperor to avoid death, and spared King Jin who wanted to kill the eldest prince. How could the Queen Mother do such a disadvantageous thing?

You don't need to use your brain, just think with your toes and you know it's impossible.

But it was true that the Queen Mother saved Xie Jingyin, and it was true that she wanted to kill Queen Song.

Shen Wan became more and more curious about the reason why the Queen Mother wanted to kill Queen Song, but spared Xie Jingyin.

It's just a pity that Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu lost their lives in vain.

Concubine Qi's father and Concubine Liu's brother knelt outside the imperial study, begging the emperor to give their daughter and sister justice.

But the emperor cannot give this justice.

The person the empress dowager wanted to poison was Queen Song, and she did not do it for no reason. Moreover, the empress dowager only poisoned Queen Song's food and had no intention of harming Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu.

Queen Song kept saying that she didn't know that the Queen Mother had poisoned her food. She also admitted that she brought Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu with her to save her own life, and she felt guilty for the deaths of Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu.

This case was tried by three courts, but they still couldn't figure out who to convict.

But Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu died of poisoning, and it was unjustifiable not to give an explanation to their families.

The Empress Dowager and Queen Song clashed, and in the end the Emperor had to clean up the mess.

The emperor compensated the families of Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu by conferring upon Concubine Qi's father the title of Earl of Qinan and Concubine Liu's brother the title of Earl of Gu'an.

This compensation is not light.

You have to know that many concubines made mistakes after entering the palace, which would implicate their families. Concubine Qi gave birth to a daughter, who died before she was two years old, but she was promoted to the position of concubine because of this. Concubine Liu has been in the palace for six years, but has no children yet.

Earning a title for his father and brother with his own life is considered a worthy death, but it is unclear whether this title can make up for the pain of losing a daughter and a sister.

Well, the civil and military officials who compensated for the emperor's title were in a very difficult position.

Normally, when a minister was conferred a title, he would have to send a gift to congratulate him. However, the reason why the Duke of Qinan and the Duke of Gu'an were conferred titles was because they had lost their daughters and sisters, so whether or not to send a gift became a problem.

Don’t send it off. After all, being conferred a title is a happy event.

Go ahead and send it. It seems a bit heartless to go and congratulate someone on the death of his daughter and sister.

The civil and military officials decided to take a look first and never be the first.

As a result, everyone thought so, and then Qi Nanbo and Gu Anbo became the only two people in the Chu Dynasty who were awarded titles without making any splash.

The Queen Mother fell ill, and it was unreasonable for Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, as their grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law, not to visit the palace. On this day, after breakfast, Xie Jingyan took Shen Wan into the palace.

Normally, Shen Wan didn't have to go to the palace when she was pregnant, but everyone knew that Shen Wan was doing an easy job during this pregnancy. She went fishing and having a picnic on the river beach a few days ago, but she couldn't go out after visiting the empress dowager. But no one believed it.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan get into the carriage and then got in himself.

Xie Jingyan was used to carrying Shen Wan and sitting on the carriage. Shen Wan said, "I'm pregnant, so I'll sit by myself."

Xie Jingyan said, "The bigger your belly is, the more you have to sit in my arms. What if the horse scares the horse and hurts yourself and the child?"

"I just hold you and don't do anything."

The last sentence sounded a bit sad.

With that look in her eyes, Shen Wan felt that her villain's heart was like a gentleman's.

Xie Jingyan had restrained himself since the baby in his belly was seven months old, for fear of hurting her and the baby in her belly. That day, he was deeply in love, and suddenly remembered that the baby was seven months old, and she felt that one more day would be too much. It's okay, Xie Jingyan endured it and took two cold showers at night without touching her.

Xie Jingyan sighed, "It will take another three months..."

There is no one in the capital who is like him. They have been married for so long and have never had a full meal.

...It’s not like he never had a full meal. The full meal almost killed his son.

Shen Wan said, "Usually the baby is born within nine months of pregnancy."

Xie Jingyan looked at her, "Aren't you going to have confinement period anymore?"

Shen Wan, "..."

The day has finally been sorted out by him.

Shen Wan remained silent.

The carriage entered the palace smoothly. Because Shen Wan was pregnant, it did not stop at the horse racing yard, but at the place closest to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace.

Shen Wan was carrying the emperor's eldest grandson in her belly. She could handle the emperor well enough, but no one dared to say anything the further away they were.

After Xie Jingyan got off the carriage, he helped Shen Wan down, held her hand and walked to Shoukang Palace.

There was no palace maid or eunuch that he met along the way who did not look at him sideways, with envy in their eyes and hearts.

There were many princes and princes entering the palace, but none of them held hands with their own princess. However, everyone knew that Prince Ling doted on his wife, so holding hands while walking was nothing.

The palace servants passing by covered their mouths and laughed, whispering, "Princess Ling had morning sickness, so Prince Ling took over. When Princess Ling gave birth, who was in pain, her or Prince Ling?"

The maid on the side said, "Prince Ling, do you dare to arrange it? You don't want to live anymore?"

"I'm just a little curious," the palace maid said.

"It must be Princess Ling. How can Prince Ling feel the pain for Princess Ling?"

"But before King Ling, no one thought that the husband could take the place of being so happy."

"makes sense……"

Fortunately, Xie Jingyan walked far away and did not hear the palace maids' discussions, otherwise he would not have been able to resist and started a killing spree in the palace.

After walking for more than half a cup of tea, we arrived at Shoukang Palace. As soon as we reached the door of Shoukang Palace, we heard the sound of "clacking" boards coming from inside.

The blow was very hard, and it felt like beating the person to death.

I don’t know who offended the Queen Mother and was beaten with a cane.

If you fight like this, you will definitely die.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan stepped in and were more shocked than the other when they saw the person being beaten.

It was no one else who got beaten.

But -

Become a king!

How could the Queen Mother beat King Cheng to death?

What did King Cheng do to make the Queen Mother so angry?

Shen Wan couldn't hold back her curiosity. After walking a few steps forward, she couldn't help but ask the palace maid beside her, "What has King Cheng done wrong?"

The palace maid Fu Shen saluted Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, and then said with a strange expression, "The Queen Mother fell ill, and King Cheng came to visit the Queen Mother. When he entered the bedroom, Zi Yuan happened to bring tea out. King Cheng might have been a little absent-minded at the time, and bumped into Zi Yuan accidentally. , knocked over the tea cup, shocked the Queen Mother, and then——"

"The Queen Mother ordered that King Cheng be caned with forty strokes of the cane."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Xie Jingyan, "...???"

I thought King Cheng had committed some serious crime, but this is the result?

Did the Queen Mother act too casually?

However, none of the Queen Mother's recent actions can make people guess clearly.

Just as she knocked over the tea cup, the Queen Mother threw it at her angrily and said angrily, "Come here, drag him down to the Aijia and punish him with a cane!"

The Queen Mother did not mention her by name. Zi Yuan thought it was her whom the Queen Mother was going to hit, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.

The people who came in also wanted to drag Zi Yuan away, and the Queen Mother said angrily, "The Ai family wants you to drag King Cheng down and beat him!"

Zi Yuan was dumbfounded at that time.

The two maids who were dragging her were also very confused.

Is the Queen Mother crazy to punish King Cheng with a stick for such a small matter?

Aunt Zhao interceded for King Cheng, but the Queen Mother didn't listen at all, "Didn't you hear what the Ai family said?!"

"If anyone dares to show mercy to me, or treat me perfunctorily, I will never let him off easily!"

The palace maids in Shoukang Palace thought the Queen Mother had gone crazy, so they bit the bullet and asked King Cheng to leave. Before beating him with a stick, they did not forget to apologize first, "King Cheng, I'm sorry!"

The Queen Mother ordered them to beat him to death, and they dared not disobey.

The nuns had their heads pinned to the top and bottom of their belts.

The Prince of Jin assassinated the eldest prince and nearly killed him. The Queen Mother went on a hunger strike to force the Emperor to execute the Prince of Jin, then saved the Prince of Jin’s life with a gold medal of immunity from death, and then poisoned Queen Song. Now she is also caning the Prince of Cheng…

These things are more outrageous than the last and are beyond belief.
