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

There was a flash of panic in the queen's eyes, but she quickly hid it.

But her tightly clenched hands revealed her nervousness at the moment.

As for Helian Qi, he was so frightened that his legs were shaking, his eyes were flickering, and he felt extremely guilty.

How...how come my father is here?

He instinctively looked at the queen, his eyes full of requests for help.

At this moment, he didn't know how to react.

Ji Lige, on the contrary, seemed to have seen hope again.

When Emperor Zhou Wen stepped through the door, before anyone had time to salute, she knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please spare my life!"

"I swear on my life that the baby in my belly is indeed the Third Prince's! I dare not confuse the royal bloodline! I swear on my father and brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country that the baby in my belly is the Third Prince's!"

Hearing this, the queen took a breath.

He suddenly shot a fierce look towards Ji Lige.

"Slut, you still have the nerve to mention your father and brother..."

"Empress!" The Queen Mother interrupted her, her voice stern, "Pay attention to your identity and image!"

The queen was startled, then looked at Emperor Zhou Wen with a feeling of grievance, "Your Majesty, I was just too anxious. Qi'er was framed by this lowly maid, I..."

"Your father and brother both died for the country?" The emperor glanced at the queen coldly, interrupted her and looked at Ji Lige.

Ji Lige nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, yes! My father Ji Baoqun and my brother Ji Teng were both under the command of Marquis Dingyuan. My father died eight years ago while trying to save Marquis Dingyuan, and my brother died while clearing out the bandits in Pingdingshan five years ago."

"What's your name?" Emperor Wen of Zhou asked.

"Your Majesty, this servant Ji Lige is here."

"Qiufang, is this possible?" Emperor Wen of Zhou asked Qiufang who was standing behind him.

Qiu Fang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a father and son named Ji under the command of Marquis Dingyuan. Both father and son are indeed loyal ministers, and they are indeed dead. The Xie family only left behind a daughter."

"Yeah," Emperor Zhou Wen nodded, his expression indifferent, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"But Miss Ji disappeared four years ago." Qiu Fang said.

The queen's heart skipped a beat and she felt inexplicably panicked.

He looked at Emperor Wen of Zhou with confusion in his eyes.

"When did the Queen find Miss Ji?" Emperor Zhou Wen looked at the Queen and asked coldly.

"Concubine..."

"I heard that the Queen, Qier and Sitian all went to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion today?" Emperor Zhou Wen interrupted her and changed the subject.

"Plop!" Helian Qi's legs trembled and he knelt down in front of him. "Father, please calm down. I am wrong! I am wrong!"

"What have you done wrong?" Emperor Wen of Zhou asked calmly.

However, it was this kind of calmness that made the queen feel even more uncertain and unable to figure out his thoughts.

"Your son...your son..." Helian Qi was at a loss for words for a moment, and instinctively looked to the Queen for help.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was very disappointed about this.

The child whom he loved the most and had the highest hopes for turned out to be a person without his own opinions, timid, cowardly and self-righteous.

Helian Chen's face flashed through my mind.

The child whom he hated so much gave him unexpected surprises time and time again.

In comparison, Helian Qi, the legitimate prince, seems to be useless.

Just like now, for such a small matter, he had no ideas of his own, but asked his queen mother for help.

"Your Majesty, Qi'er was framed today, which led to his disrespectful behavior in Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion. It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly and teaching him poorly. I ask the Queen to punish me!" The Queen knelt down in front of him with a very sincere attitude.

Seeing the queen kneeling down, Helian Qi and Eunuch An quickly knelt down as well.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Please, father, punish me. It's me who has implicated me, mother." Helian Qi pleaded for the queen.

"You are indeed wrong!" The emperor glared at him, "Don't think I don't know your little tricks! Go back to your Jingxing Palace and reflect on your mistakes! Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Jingxing Palace within a month!"

This is what it means to be grounded.

"Yes, yes!" Helian Qi responded repeatedly, "Thank you for your forgiveness, father. I will remember your teachings."

"Does the Queen have any doubts?" Emperor Wen of Zhou asked the Queen.

The Queen shook her head, "I have no doubts."

"Please let go. Take this restless maid away and beat her to death." Emperor Wen of Zhou's cold voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty... um..."

Qiufang directly covered Ji Lige's mouth, not giving her any chance to resist, and dragged her away.

"It is my son's fault for disturbing my mother's peace." The emperor said to the empress dowager with a look of self-blame.

"No, no, no! It's all my fault. Your Majesty has nothing to do with it. Please punish me, Your Majesty." The Queen said with a look of panic.

"Let's go back." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Wei Tian, ​​send the Queen back to the Pepper Room."

"Yes!" Eunuch Wei responded, helped the queen up, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will take you back."

The queen looked at Emperor Wen of Zhou with a look of grievance and confusion in her eyes.

But the emperor had no intention of answering her, and didn't even glance at her.

The queen knew in her heart that he was really angry.

She bowed to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, "I will take my leave."

He left with a little reluctance, and as he stepped out of the threshold of Shoukang Palace, a sinister murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Immortal thing!

Since he didn't take her seriously and was so obviously against her.

Okay, then don’t blame her for being cruel!

I had wanted to let her live a little longer, but now that’s no longer necessary.

Leave without hesitation.

Only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and his mother were left in the room.

Matron Liu was very tactful and dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, and even left the room herself.

"Son, now that you've seen this, do you believe what I say?" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said helplessly, "You said the Queen is virtuous, gentle and dignified."

"Yes, I think so too. But now, do you still think so?"

"Could she not know about the relationship between Ji Lige and Qi'er? But she still sent him to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and to Mu Shaochen. What is she planning?"

"And what happened today, I don't believe you don't know!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, with a slightly disappointed expression on her face, "Helian Qi is a foreign man, he entered Mu Nian'an's boudoir, what is he going to do? Ah!"

"Even if he and Ji Lige were set up by someone today, isn't that right?"

"Have the three of them, mother and son, ever thought about whether Nian An was alive or dead?"

"For their own selfish desires, they want to put Nian An to death! Is this what she should do as a queen?"

"Son, you should think about this! Have we all been blinded?"
