Several people looked at Helian Qi suddenly, especially the Queen Mother, who just stared at him straight, making Helian Qi feel uncomfortable.

Even the queen was stunned by her gaze as she looked Helian Qi up and down.

Not like an emperor?

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Helian Qi didn't look like an emperor at all.

They are obviously the emperor's sons, but He Ranchen looks 60% like the emperor.

Could it be that... he is not the emperor’s biological son?

This thought flashed through the Queen Mother's mind, but she quickly rejected it.

The empress and the emperor were a young couple and had a very good relationship. The empress loved the emperor deeply and would never do anything to let him down.

However, she was also very respectful to her mother! But, didn't she still kill her secretly?

"Mother..."

"Grandmother?"

The Queen and the Third Prince spoke in unison, both looking at the Queen Mother with puzzled eyes.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and snorted, "I returned to the palace, and you didn't come to pay your respects to me the first time!"

"Grandmother, please forgive me..."

"What's the matter? I asked Chen'er to come and accompany me. Do you have any objection? Or do you disagree?" The queen mother interrupted him, staring at him with cold eyes, and scolded him word by word.

"Grandson dare not." Helian Qi quickly bowed to the Queen Mother with a look of fear on his face.

"I think you are very daring!" The Queen Mother glared at him, "You dare to be so rude to your brother in front of me. How arrogant will you be behind my back?"

"Please forgive me, Grandmother. I have never been rude to my second brother." Helian Qi denied.

"You mean, I'm lying with my eyes open? I'm accusing you of crimes?" The Queen Mother's voice became colder.

"My grandson doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, who else would dare? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the emperor loves you! You are not the crown prince yet! You still have to call Chen'er your royal brother! Since you are a younger brother, you should act like a younger brother!" said the empress dowager coldly.

"Yes, grandson will remember the teachings of the Royal Grandmother." Helian Qi responded respectfully.

The queen was so angry that she was about to explode.

Damn the old woman! How could she be so disrespectful to her!

Scolding her prince in front of so many people was like a slap in her face.

Why didn't he die in the Mountain Resort? Or on the way back to Beijing!

Who the hell is Helian Chen? He is just a lowly child born by a lowly maid. Is he worthy of her protection?

She even said that her son should respect Helian Chen! Does he deserve it?

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is right. It's all Qi'er's fault for being careless. I will definitely give him a good lesson." Although she felt hatred in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Smiling, he coaxed the empress dowager with sweet words.

"You should teach him well. He should know the order of seniority and he should know the difference," the Queen Mother said sternly.

"Your Majesty, what you said is not right." Xu Panyue bravely refuted and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have offended you."

"I just feel that the Queen Mother's words are unfair to the Queen and the Third Prince. Yes, there is a rule of seniority, but there must also be a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children."

"The Second Prince is the eldest, but he is a concubine. The Third Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress. No matter what time it is, the Second Prince, who is a concubine, should pay respect to the Third Prince, who is a legitimate son."

[Wow! Xu Panyue has a brain! Unfortunately, the brain has grown, but it is not in the right place.]

[You dare to refute the Queen Mother's words? It seems that you are tired of living! 】

"Madame Liu, slap her face." The Queen Mother said coldly.

After she finished speaking, Nanny Liu walked up to Xu Panyue and raised her hand before she could react.

Then all I heard was the sound of slapping.

Xu Panyue only felt a piercing pain on her face, and finally it became numb.

There was a strong taste of blood in my mouth, and even my teeth felt loose.

As for my ears, I could not hear any talking at all. I could only see Madam Liu's mouth opening and closing.

Then Han knelt down and kowtowed in fear, begging for mercy.

Xu Zhimiao looked at her blankly. She wanted to laugh out loud, but she forced herself to hold it back.

Xu Panyue's face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was completely unrecognizable from her original appearance.

There was blood at the corners of his mouth and his cheeks were red, almost congested.

"Xiulan, you are not a good daughter-in-law!" The Queen Mother looked at Han with a cold and stern voice, "Not only do you have a bad way of educating your son, but you also have an even worse daughter-in-law."

"Did she teach her daughter to be so shameless that she even stole her cousin's fiancé?"

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. It is my fault that I did not teach my son well." Old Madam Mu quickly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.

Seeing this, Xi naturally knelt down as well. Of course, Mu Nian'an and Xu Zhimiao also knelt down.

At this moment, among the entire Mu family, only Xu Panyue was still standing there like a wooden stake with a dazed look on her face.

My mind went blank and I didn't know how to react for a moment.

"When it comes to poor parenting, it's the Han family that's the worst. It doesn't matter if it's not you, get up." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

Nanny Liu hurried forward to help the old lady up, while Mu Nian'an and Xu Zhimiao helped Xi up.

As for Han, she naturally had to kneel.

Finally, Xu Panyue reacted and knelt down beside Han, "Queen Dowager, please forgive me, Queen Dowager, please forgive me!"

The queen was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

Who was this for? Of course, it was for her.

This is a veiled attack!

After all, the Han mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to Shoukang Palace with her.

"You are indeed guilty!" The Queen Mother looked down at Xu Panyue, then turned to look at the Queen and asked slowly, "What do you think should be done with them?"

The queen took a deep breath and said, "I will obey your mother."

"You brought this person to my Shoukang Palace. I guess you have a good relationship with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I don't remember when you became so close to Han."

"Mother..."

"I do remember that you had a good relationship with the two sisters from the Ruan family, and I also remember that you had a good relationship with Mu Zhen."

"Why, has the Queen changed her best friend?" The Queen Mother looked at the Queen meaningfully.

The queen clenched her hands into fists under her wide sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

"Please calm down, mother. It is my fault. I watched Pan Yue grow up. When she came to the palace to ask for an audience, I happened to be here with Qi'er to pay my respects to you, mother."

"She was respectful to her mother and asked to come and pay her respects. I agreed because of my friendship with Gigi Lai and the relationship between the emperor and Lord Xu."

"I didn't expect that she would be so incompetent!"

"Madam Hu, drag Han and Xu Panyue away and give each of them twenty strokes of the cane!" said the Queen expressionlessly.

[Huh, twenty strokes of the cane? That means half of her life will be lost. Oh, I'm afraid Han will have a falling out with the Queen! ]
