At this moment, Zheng Xiyan's head felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and it was numb and swollen. Her arms also trembled slightly unconsciously, as if an invisible force was slowly withdrawing from her body. Her eyes were empty, staring ahead, but she seemed to see nothing. The emotions surging in her heart were like a surging river and sea, difficult to calm down.

At this moment, Lu Lingyuan couldn't even make a faint cry for help. Her eyes were empty and blurry, and her face was full of despair and helplessness.

At this moment, Rong An hurried back, lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, with a tremor in his voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been notified to the Ministry of Rites, and now the people from the Ministry of Rites have gone to the Lu Mansion."

Hearing this, Xiao Chengji sneered, his eyes flashing with a determined cold light, and said in a cold voice: "Got it!"

Lu Lingyuan seemed to have grasped the last straw. She turned her head slightly and looked at Zheng Xiyan again with her eyes full of help.

Zheng Xiyan's heart hardened, and she ordered in a cold voice: "Biluo, send someone out of the palace..." However, before she finished her words, Xiao Chengji flashed in front of her like a shadow and said in a deep voice: "Mother!"

"The imperial edict cannot be recalled. If your mother does this today, I don't know how I will face you in the future." Xiao Chengji took a deep breath, his face flushed, as if a ball of anger was burning in his chest, and his expression was extremely ugly.

"I don't want to go against my mother, but no one can stop me in this matter!" Xiao Chengji's voice was as cold as ice, revealing unquestionable majesty. He exuded a furious aura, like an enraged lion. At this moment, he made Zheng Xiyan feel strange and afraid.

Zheng Xiyan stood there in a daze, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know how to face him now that he had become so cold and heartless.

"Someone, send my mother back to Shoukang Palace. No one from Shoukang Palace is allowed to take a step out without my permission!" Xiao Chengji's voice rang out again, as cold as the wind.

Biluo was incredulous when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you are going to put the Queen Mother under house arrest. Your Majesty, how can you be so unfilial!"

"Aunt Biluo, I will forgive your crime of insubordination this time because you have served my mother for many years. But if you dare to do it again, I will never let you off easily!" Xiao Chengji's voice was cold-blooded and ruthless, and there was no warmth in his words, as if they were a piece of ice that froze everything around them.

"Rong'an!" Xiao Chengji shouted loudly, his voice like thunder.

Rong An stepped forward, his legs weak, and he almost fell to the ground. He replied in a trembling voice: "The servant is here!"

"Send the Queen Mother back to the palace!" Xiao Chengji closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness. His voice was like an icy blade, cutting the air around him.

Rong An was trembling with fear, not daring to offend either side, and hesitantly shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"What? You can't do anything I tell you to do?" Xiao Chengji's voice was like a bloodthirsty devil, falling on Rong An's face. Rong An was so scared that he fell to his knees, trembling all over, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "I dare not! I dare not..."

Xiao Chengji turned his back to Zheng Xiyan, not daring to look her in the eye. An indescribable pain and guilt welled up in his heart. Over the years, his mother had given so much for him, but now he had hurt her so much, he really didn't have the face to face her.

After a moment, Xiao Chengji took a deep breath and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Mother, you have worked too hard for your son these years. Now it's time to take a break. I will definitely be filial to you and let you live out your life in peace."

"As for the affairs of the court and the harem, please let it go, mother!"

Zheng Xiyan sighed deeply after hearing this. Her eyes flashed with helplessness and pain, as if her heart was cut by an invisible sharp blade. She turned slowly, tears of helplessness falling from the corners of her eyes. Her son, no, he was no longer her son, but had truly become the emperor of Daliang.

"Empress Dowager, please..." Rong An bowed and spoke carefully. His lips trembled and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Your Majesty..." Biluo said in a low voice, her eyes flashing with worry and helplessness. It was not easy to continue the stalemate with His Majesty at the moment. The Queen Mother could not sever the mother-son relationship with His Majesty for the sake of Princess Anping.

"Empress Dowager, please..." Rong An pleaded again, his voice trembling and helpless.

Zheng Xiyan walked slowly, her steps were heavy and difficult, as if every step was stepping on the tip of her heart.
