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

"What are you doing here?!" The queen became alert instantly, staring at the person who came.

Even Eunuch An and Madam Hu stared at her as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Of course, I am here to pay my respects to the Empress." Concubine Qiong put away the gloomy expression on her face, raised a perfect smile, and bowed respectfully to the Empress. "Is the Empress well?"

"I am fine, Concubine Qiong is so thoughtful." The Queen also put away the unhappy expression on her face and spoke politely.

Matron Hu quickly asked all the servants to leave.

In the huge bedroom, only the Queen and Concubine Qiong were left. She and Eunuch An also went out and guarded the door.

Concubine Qiong looked around the Queen's bedroom. Although the maids had almost cleaned the floor, due to her sudden arrival, they still hadn't cleaned it thoroughly.

The remaining soup was still swept on the ground, and tiny broken pieces of porcelain could be seen faintly in the corners. Even the hem of the queen's skirt was stained with dots of soup.

It is enough to see how angry the queen is at this moment.

The Queen became even more angry at Concubine Qiong's silence.

"What's the matter? Tell me! I don't have time to practice Tai Chi with you!" The Queen sat down on a chair beside her, glanced at Concubine Qiong, and said coldly.

"Oh!" Concubine Qiong laughed softly, but her laughter was full of disdainful ridicule and mockery, "You are really becoming more and more like a queen!"

"Shut up!" The Queen shouted, her eyes piercing her like knives. "If you have something to say, just tell me. I don't want to waste my words with you! If you don't have anything to say, get out! I don't want to see you!"

"Empress, do you dare to let the Emperor see this side of you? Do you dare to let the Queen Mother see it? Do you dare to let all the concubines in the harem see it?" Concubine Qiong looked at her with a smile.

He didn't seem angry at all because of the queen's scolding. Instead, he looked happy.

The corners of the Queen's lips twitched a few times, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Concubine Qiong became even more ferocious and murderous.

He suddenly stood up from the chair and walked towards Concubine Qiong. Before she could react, he grabbed Concubine Qiong's neck with his five fingers, "Meng Qiongzhi, do you want to die?"

"Do you really think that I dare not attack you? If you want to die, I will grant your wish now! Woo..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a muffled groan.

Then the queen's face turned pale and her expression was distorted with pain.

Concubine Qiong raised her hand and removed the hand that was pinching her neck one finger at a time.

The pair of eyes looked at her fearlessly, even with a hint of arrogance and provocation, "Xia Zhisui, do you want to die? Do you really think I dare not separate from you?"

"If you want to die, I will grant your wish now! Tell me, how do you want to die? Do you want me to kill you directly? Or do you want the Queen Mother to kill you? Or do you want your beloved Emperor to kill you?"

As she spoke, she clasped the queen's wrist with one hand and pressed her other fist against the queen's abdomen.

Not only was the queen's face pale, but beads of sweat the size of beans were even oozing out of her forehead.

Even her breathing was a little rapid, not to mention she could speak, and there was a flash of panic and fear in her eyes.

She stared at Concubine Qiong with unwillingness and resentment, her teeth making a "crunching" sound.

Obviously extremely angry, yet helpless and at a loss of what to do.

"What do you want?" After a long while, the queen asked with difficulty.

Finally, Concubine Qiong withdrew her hand and sat down slowly on a chair beside her, with an intriguing expression on her face. "I heard that during the daytime, the Queen Mother summoned the women of the Mu family to the palace, and also asked my son to go to Shoukang Palace."

"I guess the Queen is angry because of this?"

The queen took a deep breath and tried hard to adjust her emotions. "Since you know this, why are you still asking me?"

"I'm telling you, if Helian Chen wants to marry Mu Nian'an, I will never agree!"

"Since you bring it up now, that's perfect! As his mother, you should go and tell him. Let him give up this idea as soon as possible!"

"Also, I don't want to see him at all. Tell him to get out of here and go back to the border!"

"Why doesn't the Queen tell the Queen Mother herself about this?" Concubine Qiong snorted disdainfully. "At worst, if you mention it to the Emperor, will he still allow him to stay in the capital?"

"I don't have the ability to influence the Queen Mother and the Emperor's decisions."

"Meng Qiongzhi, have you forgotten the original agreement?" The queen slammed the table heavily and glared at her fiercely.

Concubine Qiong was not frightened by her ferocity at the moment, but sneered even more, "You really don't have to threaten me, I won't be threatened by anyone."

"If you want to get what you want, find a way yourself!"

"Then what are you doing here?" The Queen looked at her in confusion, "Are you here to see me make fun of you?"

"I'm here to tell the Queen something." Concubine Qiong looked at her mysteriously, "Does the Queen know why your last plan failed?"

"What?" The queen frowned and stared at Concubine Qiong.

"Haven't you arranged everything? The baby in Concubine Yue's belly, and her fiancé who was almost engaged."

"As long as Xu Quyun stands up to testify against Concubine Yue, no one will be spared, whether it's her, the Xi family behind her, or the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion."

"But why did it keep going wrong, ruining the Queen's plans?"

She looked at the Queen with a half-smile, but her expression was full of certainty, as if she knew it too clearly.

"What do you know?!" the Queen asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who disrupted my plan? Do you also know where Xu Quyun is now?"

Concubine Qiong curled her lips and smiled, "If I tell you everything I know, what benefit can I get?"

"What do you want?" The Queen stared at her straightly. "Tell me your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will agree to it!"

Concubine Qiong didn't say anything, just stared at her without blinking, which made the queen feel uncomfortable.

Just as the queen was about to get angry, she said calmly, "I want Xi Qiqing's life!"

Hearing this, the queen was stunned for a moment.

Then she chuckled softly, and the anger on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by an intriguing look, "So you like Marquis Dingyuan! Meng Qiongzhi, you are so good at pretending! After so many years, even I didn't notice it!"

"Of course, I can agree to such a small request! Xi Shi is at your disposal. You can do whatever you want with her!"

"I have only one request, that Helian Chen not marry Mu Nian'an!"
