The Queen Mother was in poor health, but she was happy about Liu Yunyan's arrival and felt a little better. She even ate a lot more than usual for lunch.

When the eunuch reported this to Yun Ting, Yun Ting was still a little bit unbelieving. Yun Ting had a lot of concerns in the beginning. He was afraid that the Queen Mother would know about Liu Yunyan's existence, and that the excitement would make his health worse. That's why he had been thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to tell the Queen Mother. Now it seems that telling the Queen Mother earlier might not be a bad thing.

"Hmph, your uncle deliberately kept it from me. He really thought that I couldn't hear anything when he made such a big noise up there, right?" The empress dowager was a little proud when she said this. Fortunately, she had asked someone to investigate at that time, otherwise she would have been kept in the dark.

"Grandma is the best," Liu Yunyan complimented while eating. It must be said that the food cooked in this palace is delicious.

"That's not true. You have to come to the palace to see your grandmother often in the future, otherwise I will move to your place," the Queen Mother began to threaten directly.

"Ah? Grandma, don't worry. I will come to accompany you no matter what." Liu Yunyan didn't dare to let the Queen Mother go to her. She had always disagreed with Yunxi and Li Rongxuan's relationship. If she knew about her relationship with Liu Yunfeng, she didn't know if she would be upset again.

"That's good," the Queen Mother felt relieved after receiving Liu Yunyan's assurance. After meeting Liu Yunyan, the Queen Mother's years of heart knots were mostly untied and she became more relaxed. "I heard that you and Liu Yunfeng are quite close. What about you two?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's slightly tentative words, Liu Yunyan suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was not fragrant anymore, "Grandma, please don't think too much, I will definitely take care of my own affairs."

"That's good. You must not follow your mother's example. This path is really too difficult to walk," the Queen Mother's eyes turned red again as she thought of her daughter.

"I see."

Liu Yunyan stayed in Wanfu Palace until it was almost dark before leaving.

But just as Liu Yunyan left, Yun Ruchu arrived.

The Queen Mother had spent a day with Liu Yunyan and was in a very good mood. She was chatting with Lin Momo.

The maid came to report, "Queen Mother, the Crown Prince is here."

"Prince? What is he here for? Tell him I'm tired and let her go," the Queen Mother's good mood suddenly dropped by half.

"Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said there is something he must tell you, you can summon him anyway," said the palace maid.

"Oh? Let him wait in the front hall, I will go later," the Queen Mother said impatiently.

Lin Momo noticed the Queen Mother's impatience and said, "Queen Mother, why don't you rest a little longer and let the Crown Prince wait a little longer?"

"Hmph, the prince coming here at this time is probably not a good thing, just like his mother." The Queen Mother did not know that the prince was not the emperor's biological son. She just felt that the Queen was involved with her daughter, and later married Yun Ting to become the Queen. She disliked the Queen even more, and also disliked the prince.

"What about the prince?" Lin Momo asked carefully.

"Let him wait there," the Queen Mother said unhappily.

Yun Ruochu waited in the hall for nearly two hours. The empress dowager was already a little drowsy in the back hall, and Lin Momo reminded her.

The Queen Mother came to the side hall and what she saw was Yun Ruochu standing there with a pale face.

Seeing the Queen Mother coming, he hurried forward to salute, "Grandson greets the Royal Grandmother, may the Royal Grandmother live a long and healthy life."

"Get up," the Queen Mother sat in the main seat and said calmly, "Why did the prince come to see me so late at night?"

"That's right, Grandmother. I just saw Pingyang leaving the palace and learned that she was in your palace today. I'm sure you had a very pleasant chat, right?" Yun Ruochu spoke tentatively.

The Queen Mother was impatient. "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Grandmother, do you know that your grandson was engaged to Pingyang?" Yun Ruochu said while looking at the empress dowager's expression.

"I know," the Queen Mother was very angry when she found out, "The Crown Prince is already engaged, so what's the point of saying this to me now?"

"Grandmother, you have misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you that there seems to be some ambiguity between Pingyang and Liu Yunfeng. Pingyang is a princess after all, and doing such a thing might damage the reputation of the royal family." Yun Ruochu wanted to win back Liu Yunyan, and the first thing he had to do was to sever the relationship between her and Liu Yunfeng.

"Hmph," the Queen Mother slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground, "Does the prince have any evidence for what he said?"

"Grandmother, please calm down," Yun Ruochu knelt down immediately when she saw the Queen Mother was angry. "My grandson is not making groundless assumptions. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is affection between the two of them. I also know that Grandmother dislikes women falling in love, so I came to tell her. I hope Grandmother can stop them, so that the two of them won't end up in an uncontrollable situation."

"I know," the Queen Mother took a deep breath, "It's late at night, the prince should go back."

"Grandmother is right. I'll take my leave now." The purpose of Yun Ruochu's trip today was to plant a thorn in the heart of the empress dowager, but he also knew that he couldn't be impatient.

After the prince left, the queen mother said to Lin Momo beside her, "What do you think of what the prince said?"

"Queen Dowager, I did hear some things about the princess and her sister before, but I think the relationship between them is very deep, not like what the prince said." Lin Mommy watched Yunxi grow up, and she loves Yunxi as much as the queen dowager, "but I think the prince's trip today seems to be that he still has feelings for the princess and wants to destroy the sisterhood between the princess and Liu Yunfeng."

The Queen Mother was relieved to hear what Lin Ma said. "In the end, the Crown Prince came here to complain. Did he think that if he just said a few bad things about Yanyan, I would believe him? He even wanted to slander Yanyan's reputation. Humph. What's the difference between him and his mother?"

"The Queen Mother's prejudice against the Queen is still so deep." Because of Yunxi's matter, the Queen Mother's prejudice against the Queen has always been so deep.

"If it weren't for her, my Xier wouldn't have gotten into trouble. Now his son actually dared to come here and sue Xier's daughter." The Queen Mother was furious at what Yun Ruochu said. "Go and tell the Emperor about this. The Crown Prince is not fit for the job if he behaves this way."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Momo came out and called her confidant, gave him a few instructions, and the confidant left.

He did not follow the empress dowager's advice to find the emperor. Even if he did not tell the emperor what happened today, the emperor would know what happened. Therefore, he only sent someone to tell Liu Yunyan to be careful of the prince.

The confidant rode as fast as he could and stopped Liu Yunyan at the door of her house and told her what Lin Momo said.

Liu Yunyan was angry. What was Yun Ruochu trying to do? He deliberately talked about himself and Liu Yunfeng in front of the empress dowager. Knowing that the empress dowager was in poor health, wasn't he afraid of anything happening?
