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

"Ah!" the queen screamed.

"I am guilty! I accidentally injured the Queen. Please punish me!" He knelt down and begged to be released.

His speed was too fast. When he saw that the person outside the palace was the Queen, although he had retracted most of his internal strength, he still injured the Queen.

The queen was knocked to the ground with a palm strike.

The queen grimaced in pain, her cheeks twitching violently, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes as she looked towards Qiu Fang, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An hurried forward and helped the queen up.

The speed of Qiufang was really too fast, and he had no time to stop him. In addition, he was injured, so his skills were naturally limited.

The Queen endured the pain and let Eunuch An help her up. She said to Qiu Fang in a deep voice, "Eunuch Qiu, please get up! This is not your fault. I came in too hasty and forgot to let someone pass the message."

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty." Qiu Fang did not dare to stand up.

"Why is the Queen here?" Emperor Wen of Zhou walked over here, looking at the Queen with a hint of displeasure and suspicion in his eyes.

"Concubine..."

"But you came to ask me about the marriage between Helian Chen and Mu Nian'an?" Emperor Wen of Zhou interrupted her in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the queen was slightly stunned.

Obviously, Emperor Wen of Zhou's words and actions were beyond her expectations.

Didn't he care about her at the first time?

He clearly heard her screams just now, and he was sure to hear her pleas for release.

But he didn't ask her if she was okay, and his tone was questioning as soon as he spoke.

This made it difficult for the queen to accept for a while.

After all, she had been with him for so many years, and no matter what time it was, his eyes were always on her.

As long as she felt a little uncomfortable, he would definitely be nervous and concerned about her.

Just like now, shouldn't he walk quickly to her side and ask if she's okay? And then rebuke Qiu for letting her go, or even punish Qiu for letting her go?

But now, he didn't say a single word to show his concern for her. Instead, he asked her why she cared so much about the marriage between Helian Chen and Mu Nian'an?

How could she not care? How could she not be anxious?

If this continues, Helian Chen will ride on her head! Then will there be a place for them, mother and son?

It must be that old woman, the Queen Mother, who said something to him.

The queen suppressed her rage, clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves, and her long nails left deep marks, but she did not feel any pain at all.

I took a deep breath and tried hard to calm myself down.

"When you asked eunuch to go to Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion to announce the decree, I, Qier and Sitian were also there. Even I and Qier were quite surprised." The Queen walked to the Emperor with an elegant and dignified smile.

"Why did the emperor suddenly think of granting Chen'er a marriage? Or Nian'an? I have never heard you mention this matter at all."

"I'm not saying that Nian An is a bad child. On the contrary, I like her very much. If it weren't for that girl Mu Zhi who forcibly interfered, she would have been married to the eldest son of the Rong Palace."

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?" The Queen looked at the Emperor in fear and touched her cheek. "But what's wrong with my face?"

She kept talking, and Emperor Wen of Zhou did not answer her questions or interrupt her. He just looked at her straight.

Such a look made her feel uncomfortable, as if she had been stripped naked and was being stared at by him, and the stare was filled with suspicion.

"Has your mother ever mentioned this to the Empress?" the Emperor asked.

"What?" The queen was puzzled.

"Nian'an is the girl that Queen Mother has taken a liking to. Originally, Queen Mother was planning to directly issue an imperial decree to grant marriage to Marquis Dingyuan. But after thinking it over, Queen Mother still thinks that she should discuss it with me."

"Didn't Mother mention this to you this morning in Yue Fei's Bixia Courtyard? Didn't you agree with Mother's proposal? It was you who suggested to Mother that I issue the imperial decree."

The emperor looked at her and said seriously.

Hearing this, the queen was extremely angry!

This damn old woman actually used this trick on her. She couldn't refute it!

She smiled awkwardly, "Yes! Your Highness and I agree. Chen'er is not a child anymore, and he has been stationed at the border for many years. Concubine Qiong is always indifferent to him."

"I feel really bad for him. No matter what, he is the emperor's son. I treat him and Qi'er equally."

"When your mother mentioned Nian'an, I also felt that he was a good match for Chen'er. He really needs a wife to take care of him personally."

"For so many years, there has never been even a maid to take care of you. I was very anxious when I saw this. Now, I finally have someone who understands my feelings and sleeps by my side."

"He and Prince Mu grew up together and have a good relationship. Marquis Dingyuan also watched him grow up, and now the two of them have become father-in-law and son-in-law, which is even better."

"I am really happy for Chen'er. Finding a good wife is more important than anything else."

Qiu looked at her inconspicuously, his eyes full of astonishment.

Even he could tell from the Queen's words that she was hinting to the Emperor that the Dingyuan Marquisate would be the Second Prince's biggest supporter from now on.

This... is not making me happy for the Second Prince, it's clearly adding fuel to the fire!

Emperor, this...what does this mean?

"The Queen is right." The emperor nodded.

And then... nothing happened.

The queen was confused.

What do you mean?

What do you mean by "she is right"? If she is right, shouldn't I disagree with her?

What on earth was he thinking?

Why does she understand him less and less now?

"Qi'er is not young anymore. Does the Queen have a choice for him?" the Emperor asked in a deep voice. "It's time for him to get married."

The queen took a deep breath and tried not to let her anger show on her face.

She kept her proper smile, "Yes! I am also anxious. Does the emperor have any candidates? I really don't know which daughter is more suitable for him."

"The Queen and Mother should discuss this matter more." The Emperor said slowly, "There is no need to rush. There are so many daughters of court officials. Are you afraid that he won't like one of them?"

Queen: "..."

There is a feeling of being heart-suffocated.

"Yes. Your Majesty is right. I should go to my mother's Shoukang Palace more often these days and see her more."

"Well, if everything is fine, go back." The emperor waved at her, signaling her to leave.

The queen took a deep breath and said, "I will take my leave."

When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of cruelty.

Once again, only the emperor and Qiufang were left in the Qianqing Hall.

"Please let me go, just keep talking!" The emperor's tone was commanding.

……

"An Dehai, go and deal with Ji Lige!" The Queen said with a gloomy face as soon as she returned to the Pepper Palace.
