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

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" the queen asked anxiously.

Concubine Yue quickly recovered and bowed to the queen, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am fine."

"Concubine Yue, you must not hold on. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me and call the imperial physician. You and the fetus in your belly are the most important." The queen said seriously.

Concubine Yue smiled knowingly, "Yes! I know. I will not take my body and the child in my belly lightly. I will go back to Bixia Courtyard first."

"Well, go ahead!" The queen nodded.

Xi and Xu Zhimiao left with Concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue held Xi's wrist tightly, feeling extremely nervous.

What did she just hear?

Xu Zhimiao clearly didn't say anything! Why could she hear Xu Zhimiao talking?

And you said she...would die so miserably?

The queen... would actually harm her? How is that possible? The queen treated all the concubines in the harem very well.

The queen was even more nervous than she was when she found out she was pregnant. She almost took her to the Pepper Palace to take care of her.

But she also knew that she couldn't let her guard down. At this moment, the only person she could trust was her aunt.

Everyone in Bixia Courtyard was sent by the Queen to take care of her.

What should she do?

Concubine Yue didn't know what to do for a moment.

In the Pepper Palace, only the Queen, Gigi Nguyen and her daughter Xu Panyue were left.

Ruan Lizi just felt very nervous, and always felt that the Queen had other purposes in summoning her into the palace this time.

"My lady..."

"I heard that the marriage between Second Miss Mu and the eldest son of Prince Rong has been cancelled? Is it related to Panyue?" The Queen took the warm tea handed over by Eunuch An, opened the lid and blew on it lightly, then drank the tea very elegantly and spoke casually.

"thump!"

The mother and daughter knelt down again, "My Lady Star, Yue'er was framed by someone."

"Oh?" The queen raised an intriguing smile, "You were framed? Who is so bold as to frame you and the eldest son of Prince Rong's Mansion at the same time?"

Xu Panyue instinctively looked towards Ruan Lizi.

"Yes... Zhi Miao." Ruan Lizi's face was dead silent.

"Zhi Miao?" The Queen repeated these two words, "Gigi Lai, you must be responsible for what you said. You know I love Zhi Miao!"

Ruan Lizi nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I know! I swear on my life that it was Zhimiao who framed Yue'er."

"Your Majesty, you watched Yue'er grow up. You and I also grew up together. You know what kind of person I am."

"I was distressed that my sister died young and Zhimiao had no one to take care of her. That's why I accepted my mother-in-law's suggestion and married Chongshan as his second wife. I am both Zhimiao's aunt and stepmother, so I treat her as my own daughter."

"I treat her better than Yue'er! I really can't understand why she does this."

"Two bridal sedan chairs entered the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but were carried to the wrong courtyard in a hurry. I always thought it was a mistake made in my haste. Later, when I thought about it carefully, I'm afraid it was arranged by Zhimiao and the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion!"

"Yue'er's reputation has been ruined, and her relationship with Yiwen has become strained. Even my master and Prince Rong have become resentful of each other. Not to mention the resentment that Princess Rong has towards me."

"My queen, think about it carefully. Did the Dingyuan Marquis family benefit from all these things? Did Zhimiao benefit from them?"

The queen did not respond immediately, but continued to sip her tea in an elegant and casual manner.

But Gigi Nguyen knew that she had listened to what she said and was even weighing the pros and cons.

After all, the Second House of the Mu Family, the Xu Family, and Prince Rong have clearly expressed their attitudes. They are on the side of the Third Prince.

Although the Dingyuan Marquis family had always fought without forming a faction or a clique, they were only loyal to the emperor. However, Mu Shaochen was the tutor of the second prince, and they had a good relationship.

If one day they really need to take sides, their family will definitely stand on the side of the Second Prince without hesitation.

Although the emperor also prefers the third prince, the second prince has military merits!

The emperor has only two princes, so naturally the fight for the throne is between them.

If the Queen's eldest son had not died young, he would probably have been made the Crown Prince.

Everyone knows how much the emperor expected of this eldest son and how much he hoped for him.

Unfortunately... the eldest prince died half a year later.

This incident was a huge blow to the queen and almost cost her half her life.

That's the look of being devastated and having no desire to live.

If she had not been diagnosed with pregnancy again later, I am afraid the Queen would have chased after the eldest prince.

Later, the queen gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, the third prince and the fourth princess.

The court officials knew very well that the position of crown prince would most likely be the third prince born to the queen.

However, the second prince, born to Concubine Qiong, was superior to the third prince in every aspect.

In terms of military achievements, the Third Prince had none to speak of. He had never even been on the battlefield.

But the second prince was different. He had been fighting in the military camp since he was a child. He led troops to fight at the age of fourteen and captured an enemy general alive at the age of fifteen.

He even recovered several cities that had been taken away from the Wei State.

In terms of thesis, the third prince is not as good as the second prince.

Although both of them studied under Tutor Gu, the Second Prince has always been superior to the Third Prince since he was a child.

In terms of martial arts, the second prince could subdue the third prince in less than five moves.

Therefore, the Third Prince was actually just the Queen's legitimate son. In terms of literature, martial arts, achievements, and intelligence, he was far inferior to the Second Prince.

This is also the reason why Emperor Wen of Zhou has not appointed the third prince as the crown prince over the years.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that the Second Prince was more suitable to be the ruler of the Eastern Palace than the Third Prince.

But he doesn't like the second prince!

The queen was also clear about this.

The only thing she could do was to secretly win over some court officials for her son.

For example, Prince Rong was the one she won over, as well as the Murjin family and Xu Chongshan.

So, in fact, Gigi Lai knew something that the queen was not as kind and virtuous as she appeared to be.

"I didn't expect she had such a skill." After a long while, the queen spoke slowly, "She is indeed Li Jin's daughter. If she doesn't take action, it's fine. But if she does, she will kill people!"

He raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Lizi, "So, you have no solution?"

Xu Panyue’s mind was a little confused.

She seemed to understand the conversation between her mother and the Queen.

"I have discussed this with the master. The most important thing is to let people know Xu Zhimiao's true face as soon as possible. Let everyone know that her marriage with Yue'er was not a mistake made by the sedan bearers, but was deliberately carried to the east courtyard of the Mu Mansion at her instruction."

"Also, I feel that we must first let Madam Mu see that Xu Zhimiao is plotting something bad against the Mu Mansion."

"Empress, Mother, I have a way to deal with this!" Xu Panyue said with certainty.
