King Cheng was the biological son of the Queen Mother, but because he bumped into a palace maid, broke a tea cup, and disturbed the Queen Mother, he was punished with a cane of forty pieces...

Even if she entered the palace without any brains, she could guess that the Queen Mother was looking for an excuse to become the king.

The real reason why King Cheng was beaten was definitely not as simple as breaking a teacup.

It's just that the Queen Mother couldn't speak out, but couldn't bear the tone, so she took advantage of the situation and did such an unbelievable thing.

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

Shen Wan's intuition told her that the beating of Prince Cheng was related to the Queen Mother using the golden medal of immunity from death to save Prince Jin and poisoning Queen Song.

The nanny beat Prince Cheng with forty sticks. Even though Prince Cheng was a martial artist, he was half dead. Nanny Zhao couldn't bear to watch and said, "Quickly send Prince Cheng back to Prince Cheng's mansion."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind him, "Remember to call the imperial doctor for King Cheng."

The two young father-in-laws helped Cheng Wang, who had been beaten to pieces, from the bench and pulled at the wound, causing painful veins to pop out on his forehead.

Xie Jingyan and Shen Yuan moved out of the way and watched King Cheng being helped out of Shoukang Palace.

But just as his eyes returned, a bright yellow figure walked in.

The Queen Mother ordered the king with a staff and gave him forty blows. This was no small matter. When the emperor found out, he would definitely come and ask. However, the day lilies that came here were all cold, and King Cheng had to leave after he had been hit with the blow.

The emperor did not expect that Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan were also there. They saluted the emperor, and the emperor said, "Why are you in Shoukang Palace?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I came to visit the Queen Mother."

The emperor said, "You can just come, why did you bring the princess with you?"

After all, the Queen Mother was ill, and Shen Wan was pregnant with Liujia. The Emperor was afraid that the Queen Mother would be sick to her.

Whether Shen Wan comes to visit the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will not have more or less meat, but if it affects the Emperor's eldest grandson in his belly, the Emperor will probably really have to give Xie Jingyan a good beating.

However, Shen Wan had already arrived, and the emperor would not stop her from showing her filial piety, so the two followed the emperor into the empress dowager's bedroom.

The Queen Mother leaned on the peony pillow, her face was livid. Zhao Yuan was feeling the Queen Mother's pulse. The Emperor walked over and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's condition?"

Zhao Yuanzheng stood up and replied, "The Queen Mother is so angry that she is so depressed and depressed. She needs to rest. During this period, she must not get angry."

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan looked at each other.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother would make me so angry.

But the problem is that no one knows why the Queen Mother is so angry...

The emperor was very tired.

He stopped the Queen Mother from executing the Queen, so the agreement between them was invalid. Later, he returned the golden medal of immunity from death to the Queen Mother, but she still refused it and did not say anything about executing Prince of Jin again. The Queen Mother also did not take the opportunity to force him to make the eldest prince the crown prince. In short, everything was wrong and she became sick with anger.

Although the Emperor did not serve the Queen Mother with all his heart, he always respected the Queen Mother. Seeing the Queen Mother's illness, the Emperor felt distressed.

The emperor said, "If the Queen Mother has anything to do, just tell me, and I will definitely take care of the Queen Mother's worries."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with tears in her eyes. Shen Wan stood aside and watched, wondering if it was her misunderstanding. She felt that the Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a somewhat apologetic look, but when she blinked, she wanted to see more clearly. The Queen Mother had already looked away.

The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so please don't worry about me."

As she said that, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Xie Jingyan and said, "Prince Ling has married a wife and has children. He has reached the age where he can share the affairs of the government for the emperor. Your Majesty, don't tire yourself anymore. Let Prince Ling help you handle some things."

The Queen Mother's voice was a little weak, but everyone heard what she said.

Shen Wan's eyes widened. The Queen Mother actually spoke up for Xie Jingyan in front of the Emperor and asked Xie Jingyan to help the Emperor share the affairs of state. This was something Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan had never dreamed of.

They did save the eldest prince, but that wouldn't make the empress dowager have such a great liking for them. Xie Jingyin was kicked out and could no longer compete with the eldest prince for the position of crown prince. However, Xie Jingyan also had many people supporting him in the court, and they had not explicitly expressed that they were not interested in the position of crown prince.

As long as he fights for that position, he will inevitably be on the opposite side of the eldest prince.

They knew this, and so did the Queen Mother.

The eldest prince's injury will take more than a month to recover, but the empress dowager asked the emperor to use Xie Jingyan at this time. Isn't the empress dowager afraid that Xie Jingyan will take advantage of the opportunity to become more powerful?

Shen Wan glanced at Aunt Zhao, who was also surprised. She, a confidant of the Queen Mother, could not guess the Queen Mother's intention.

The emperor glanced at Xie Jingyan and frowned slightly.

It’s not that he, as a father, doesn’t want to order his son around, it’s just that he has tried many times and it was useless.

However, it is rare for the Queen Mother to say this.

The Queen Mother asked, "Prince Ling and Prince Yanping have made great contributions in saving the eldest prince. Has the Emperor rewarded them?"

"Not yet."

The eldest prince was seriously injured and might not be able to be saved. The emperor and the queen mother were not in the mood to reward Xie Jingyan and Prince Yanping. In addition, the eldest prince was in Prince Ling's Mansion. Xie Jingyan did not allow any outsiders to enter Prince Ling's Mansion, so the rewards were sent to Prince Ling's Mansion. , there was no reason to accept the order at the gate, so I just let it go.

It's just a matter of rewarding according to merit. It doesn't matter if it's ten days or half a month late.

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "You can guess that something might have happened to the eldest prince just from a piece of silk. He is so smart and unique. The eldest prince can escape this disaster. It is because of King Ling's contribution. The Ai family doesn't know." Whatever you like, you can go to the warehouse and choose it yourself.”

The emperor laughed and said, "Let them go to the storehouse to choose. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that they will empty your storehouse?"

The Queen Mother said weakly, "These are things that you can't bring with you when you are born and can't take with you when you die. They can just take whatever they like."

Not easy to talk to.

There was even a hint of kindness in his eyes and brows.

In fact, Shen Wan had developed some favorable impression towards the Queen Mother because she poisoned Queen Song and beat Prince Cheng to death. Now her favorable impression towards her was increasing rapidly.

No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, she thinks the Queen Mother is pretty good.

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, and Xie Jingyan grabbed Shen Wan's hand and said, "Then the princess and I will not be polite to the Queen Mother."

The emperor heard this and said, "You two should be more restrained and only take two boxes."

Shen Wan, "..."

Shen Wan doubted whether the emperor heard what Zhao Yuanzheng said just now.

The Queen Mother is depressed and cannot be relieved, so be careful not to get angry.

The emperor is so biased towards Xie Jingyan, isn't he afraid that the empress dowager will be angry?

The emperor knew Xie Jingyan's temper. When he was rude, he was really rude. In order to prevent Xie Jingyan from angering the empress dowager, the emperor directly stipulated that only two boxes could be selected. If the empress dowager was angry, she would only be angry with the emperor and would not blame Xie Jingyan or her.

The Queen Mother asked Nanny Zhao to lead Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan to her private treasury.

Aunt Zhao did as she was told.

The Queen Mother's private vault contained so many treasures that it was dizzying to look at.

Shen Wan thought that Aunt Zhao would find two smaller boxes. After all, the emperor said that only two boxes were allowed, but no one stipulated the size of the boxes. Aunt Zhao could find a loophole, but the boxes that had to be carried in They all felt the sincerity of the Queen Mother in saying that she could take whatever she wanted.

Xie Jingyan said to Shen Wan, "The Queen Mother knows that my entering the storehouse is no different from robbery. Since she let me in, I won't do it in vain. Just take whatever you want."

Xie Jingyan had entered the emperor's warehouse before and filled a box full of things. Even the bottles were filled with large and small Dongzhu.

The Queen Mother would not be ignorant of what happened in the palace.

Shen Wan did not doubt the Queen Mother's sincerity.

But she really didn't want anything. In this life, she just wanted her father, brother, and the Yun family to be well, and she almost had no desire for anything else.

Shen Wan shook her head, and Xie Jingyan helped her choose.

Although I didn’t fill the porcelain vase with Dongzhu like before, it was not far off.

Aunt Zhao's eyes twitched as she looked at it. Prince Ling's description of him was very accurate. It was indeed no different from robbery.

When they finished selecting the items and came out of the storeroom, the emperor had already returned to the imperial study, but he left a message for them. The palace maid reported, "The emperor asked Prince Ling and Princess Ling to go to the imperial study to see him after they have selected the items."
