Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

When the queen returned to the Pepper Palace, she vented all her anger.

She threw everything that could be thrown in the house to the ground.

At this moment, the ground was in a mess and there was almost no place to step.

All the palace maids and eunuchs stood by trembling with fear and anxiety, trying to minimize their presence to prevent the queen from venting her anger on them.

The servants in the Pepper Palace actually knew very well that this was the true face of the Queen.

In front of the emperor and other people, the queen's gentleness, virtue, dignity and understanding were all just an act.

The real queen is actually cruel, vicious, and vindictive. She will not tolerate them making even the smallest mistake.

It's just that she has always pretended to be very good, especially in front of the emperor, she is simply a good queen who can't be faulted at all.

Of course, no one dared to reveal the queen's true face to the emperor.

Once upon a time, there was a new palace maid who was severely punished by the Queen for making a small mistake.

How was she punished? She was made to kneel on broken porcelain pieces and hold a bowl of cold water above her head with both hands, without touching her head or spilling a drop of water.

It was a hot day and she was made to kneel under the scorching sun for a full hour. If not a drop of the water was spilled, her punishment would be over.

However, if the water spills out due to her shaking hands, then she should raise a new bowl and finish the hour when it is full.

How could one possibly hold out for an hour? Not to mention the scorching sun, even the broken porcelain pieces under the knees would make one's hands shake.

In the end, the palace maid naturally couldn't hold on and died of heatstroke.

In the Pepper Palace, a palace maid or eunuch died for no reason almost every few days.

It’s just that no one dares to say it, and no one cares.

After all, this is the Pepper Palace, the mother of a country, the master of the harem. Whoever she wants to die must die.

In the most remote Huaqing Pavilion of the Pepper House, there is a dry well, which is used to throw dead palace maids and eunuchs. It is no different from the mass grave outside.

At this moment, even the Queen's personal maid, Madam Hu, did not dare to step forward to comfort the Queen, but just stood aside cautiously.

"Mother, don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health." Finally, it was the third prince who spoke to comfort her.

"Hurry up and clean up the floor!" He said coldly to Madam Hu and others.

"Yes, yes!" Madam Hu responded quickly, and said carefully to the queen, "Your Majesty and His Highness, please move to the inner hall. I will clean this up to prevent these debris from hurting Your Majesty."

The queen said nothing, but just glanced coldly around the messy room, then walked towards the inner hall with an expressionless face.

Of course the third prince hurried to follow.

"Mother, have some tea to calm down." He quickly poured a cup of tea for the queen.

The queen took it and took a sip, "What are your plans for today?"

"Of course we can't just swallow our anger." The third prince said coldly, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own way. Whether it's Helian Chen or those people from the Mu family, I won't let any of them go."

"Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen are such useless bastards!" The Queen gritted her teeth. "I have created so many opportunities for them, but they have not accomplished anything. They are still being suppressed by Mu Changlin's family."

"Li Maoan is also useless! I really misjudged them! And that Xu Chongshan, they didn't help us at all!"

When the queen talked about this, she felt so angry that her chest ached.

Even though the three of them joined forces, they still couldn't deal with Mu Changlin and Mu Shaochen.

It even made them more and more arrogant. Now even the old thing the Queen Mother began to openly protect them and Helian Chen.

No, we must not let them succeed.

"Mother, what do you think if I marry Mu Nian'an?" Helian Qi suddenly said this.

Hearing this, the queen looked at him in shock, a little bit unable to believe her ears, "What did you say?"

Helian Qi pursed his lips and smiled, looking determined to win, "Since I am no match for them, why not take them in for my own use. If I marry Mu Nian'an, will Mu Changlin and Mu Shaochen still stand on Helian Chen's side?"

"Anyway, I'm old enough to get married. Mu Nian'an is the legitimate daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and she is deeply loved by everyone in the Mu family."

"If I marry her, I'll be Mu Changlin's son-in-law. He can't just turn his elbow outward."

"Mother, what do you think?" He looked at the queen with a smile, and there was obvious pride in his eyes, "Since there is a straight shortcut in front of me, why should I take so many detours?"

"My son, are you serious?" The Queen looked at him in amazement, "You forgot that Mu Nian'an was Li Jing's fiancée before!"

"So what?" Helian Qi said indifferently, "She's just a fiancée. They haven't gotten married yet. What's more, their wedding has been cancelled, and Li Jing is dead."

"After all, Mu Nian'an is the biggest victim. She has done nothing wrong."

"At this time, if I ask to marry Mu Nian'an, it will definitely make Mu Changlin's family feel good about me. Since Mu Erjin and his son are unreliable, don't blame me for finding another way out."

"Have you decided?" asked the Queen.

He Lianqi nodded, "My mother will support me, right?"

The queen took a deep breath, her brows furrowed, and her face looked thoughtful.

After a while, she said in a deep voice, "My son, what do you think the Queen Mother meant today? She invited several female relatives of the Mu family and asked Helian Chen to go as well. I think this matter is not that simple."

"What else could it be?" Helian Qi snorted coldly, "She wants to bring Helian Chen and Mu Nian'an together."

"What?!" The Queen was shocked. "That won't do. I will never allow it!"

"So, I have to take the initiative before Helian Chen does." Helian Qi said seriously, "Mother, what do you think?"

The queen nodded. "This is the only way now. If Mu Changlin's family doesn't know what's good for them..."

"Then there's no need to keep them!" Helian Qi said indifferently, "There's no need to keep people who are useless to us!"

"I am determined to get this position of crown prince! Helian Chen has no right to compete with me!"

West Courtyard of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion

After being beaten with twenty sticks each, Han and Xu Panyue were sent back home.

Xu Panyue had suffered from old and new injuries, and she looked half dead.

Han's condition was naturally not much better, after all, she was also injured, but she was better than Xu Panyue.

"Xu Panyue, you are a useless person who is always causing trouble and can't do anything good! I must have believed in evil to believe you!"

Han picked up a teacup and threw it hard at Xu Panyue.
