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

what? !

The queen, her mother and her two children were shocked.

Qiu came with an imperial decree? What imperial decree?

How could he beg for release? How could it be so fast? What does this mean, you old man? And why would Helian Gang agree to it?

The Queen knew very well that this imperial decree was most likely an imperial decree granting marriage, but she didn't understand why the Emperor would agree to it.

Since he disliked Helian Chen so much, how could he marry the daughter of Mu Changlin, whom he valued now, to Helian Chen?

How did that old fool, the Queen Mother, convince him?

The group hurried to the main hall. Mu Nian'an didn't even go back to her room to put on makeup. She appeared in front of Eunuch Qiu with tear stains on her face and slightly red and swollen eyes.

When they arrived, Mu Changlin, Mu Shaochen, Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, were all present. Even Xu Panyue, who was injured, stood beside Mu Yiwen with the help of her maid.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: There is a daughter of the Mu family, Mu Nian'an, who is both talented and beautiful, and of good character. In recognition of her virtue, I grant her marriage to my second son, Helian Chen, so that they can enjoy the happiness of life together. I hope both parties will cherish this relationship, respect each other, live in harmony, have many children, and jointly protect the peace of the family and the country. I decree this!"

Eunuch Qiu finished reading the imperial edict with a smile and handed it to Mu Changlin, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your grace." Mu Changlin took the imperial edict carefully and presented it respectfully.

The housekeeper handed a prepared money bag to Eunuch Qiu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Qiu. Here is some money for tea."

Qiu Gonggong smiled with his eyes curved, "Then I won't refuse."

"Hey, Her Majesty the Queen, His Majesty the Third Prince, why is the Princess here too?" He asked in surprise, as if he had just suddenly seen the Queen and her son.

The queen took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I gave Nian'an a little fright yesterday, so I came to visit him. I didn't expect to meet the eunuch who came to announce the decree."

"That's great, great! Chen'er is not old anymore, it's time for him to get married. Nian'an is great, great."

When the Queen said "very good", she almost gritted her teeth.

At this moment, the relationship between the Queen and the Mu family's first wife had completely broken down, but they had to maintain their appearance for the time being.

"Then I won't bother you any more. Qi'er, Sitian, follow me back to the palace."

"Your Majesty!" The old lady called her over, and said respectfully and sincerely, "Your Majesty, please take Li Ge with you! It's not appropriate for her to stay in the Mu Mansion any longer."

Hearing this, the corners of the queen's lips twitched fiercely, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

He smiled sinisterly at the old lady, "What the old lady reminded me of is that I should indeed take Miss Ji away. During this period of time, I really have to trouble the Marquis' Mansion to take care of Miss Ji."

Ji Lige could already sense the strong murderous intent in the Queen's tone.

He shuddered instinctively and even took two steps back.

At this moment, she actually had an urge not to leave the Mu Mansion with the Queen.

She regretted what she had done today. The queen obviously wanted to kill her.

"The Queen..."

"Why, Miss Ji, don't you want to go with me?" The Queen interrupted her and asked word by word.

"I am willing." Ji Lige nodded.

At this point, she could only face it head-on. At worst, she could just pass the blame to the Mu family.

Anyway, the Queen and the Mu family are now completely hostile to each other, so she will say that she was plotted against by the Mu family.

"This is..." Eunuch Qiu looked at Ji Lige with a puzzled look.

"Eunuch, it's like this!" Mu Nian'an seemed to have found a place to complain and walked up to Eunuch Qiu, "The Third Prince and Ji..."

"Nian'an, don't be rude!" the old lady interrupted her.

Xi quickly pulled her behind her and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense! It's all over. Fortunately, nothing happened to you! That's enough!"

"Thank you so much for making this special trip today." The old lady said cheerfully, "The Queen and the Third Prince, the princess is also very thoughtful. When Nian An and the Second Prince get married, I will definitely invite you to have a drink at the wedding."

“No, no!” Eunuch Qiu waved his hands repeatedly, “I’m just a servant, how can I…”

"Yes! Yes!" The old lady interrupted him and smiled even more satisfied. "Happiness needs to be touched by everyone before it can spread."

"Then I will wait to enjoy the good fortune of the Second Prince and Miss Mu." Eunuch Qiu said cheerfully, "The Emperor is still waiting for my reply, so I will leave first."

"Young Master, please send me off, eunuch."

"Please, sir."

"Thank you, Prince."

The Queen and her two children left at the same time as Eunuch Qiu.

When leaving, Eunuch Qiu glanced at Ji Lige imperceptibly, thinking about what Mu Nian'an had said that was interrupted by the old lady.

Also, he saw it clearly just now. When the Third Prince heard him reading the imperial decree granting marriage, he looked at Miss Mu with reluctance.

Is it possible...

A thought flashed through his mind, making him shudder.

No, no! He must tell the emperor everything that happened today. Not a word more, but not a word less either.

"Please, eunuch." As soon as he walked out of the gate of Mu Mansion, the queen called him.

"What does the queen want me to do?" Qiufang walked in front of her, half bowing respectfully.

"You've worked hard today." The Queen said with a smile, "I am very pleased to see the Emperor's love for Chen'er. No matter what, Chen'er is the Emperor's biological son."

"Although she was Concubine Qiong at the beginning..." She paused here, a hint of bitterness appeared on her face, and she sighed softly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it! It's all in the past, and Chen'er is already this old."

"Nothing else matters. The most important thing is that the children live well. Now that the emperor and Chen'er are in harmony, I am also happy."

"Now that Chen'er's marriage has been arranged, it's time for me to find someone for Qi'er. After all, Qi'er is only one hour younger than Chen'er."

After saying this, his body swayed slightly. If Helian Qi hadn't been quick to hold him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Helian Qi looked at her with a worried and nervous expression, "Quick, let's go back to the palace and call the imperial physician."

"Si Tian, ​​quickly help mother get on the carriage and return to the palace."

The brother and sister helped the queen into the carriage and left in a hurry.

Eunuch Qiu stood where he was, watching the queen's carriage moving farther and farther away until it finally disappeared from his sight.

The Queen's words kept echoing in my mind, savoring them carefully.

Then he discovered that Ji Lige, who had come out of the Mu Mansion with the Queen and the others, did not get on the Queen's carriage, and was standing there at a loss.

"Miss Ji, the old lady asked me to prepare a carriage to take you back to Jingxing Palace." The butler walked up to Ji Lige and said seriously.
