The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The queen was confined to her room for reflection, and Fengwu Palace was deserted and cold.

Nanny An, who raised the queen, was very worried. She was not worried about the queen's current situation, but about other things.

"Empress, your behavior in front of the Emperor these few times is really too unusual. Mr. Xie has caught the Emperor's eye again. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be suspicious of you?"

The Queen's expression did not change at all, and her voice was cold: "Mammy, do you mean that the Emperor will investigate this matter?"

"Empress, you are the mother of a country and the wife of the Emperor. You have been in the palace for more than 20 years, and the Emperor has never punished you like this? Asking you to reflect for three days is not giving you or the Master face, not to mention that you have to reflect for three months now. This old servant feels that the Emperor is indeed suspicious, and your intention to want Master Xie to die is too obvious."

The queen was silent for a long time, then suddenly snorted coldly.

"Even if he investigates this matter, what does it matter? It happened 22 years ago, and all traces have disappeared. What can the emperor find out?"

The Queen had a mocking and cold expression on her face: "Besides, the people who did it in the past were not from our Fengwu Palace. Even if the Emperor finds out something, I, the Queen of the Central Palace, will also be a victim."

Nanny An thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is right. If you think about it this way, we have nothing to worry about. I was just too anxious just now."

As the master and servant were talking, a palace maid came outside and told them that Princess Pingyang had arrived.

"Greetings, mother." Princess Pingyang, dressed in a gorgeous pink dress, knelt before the queen and bowed to greet her.

"Why is Jing'er here? Is the banquet in Minghua Palace over?" asked the Queen.

"Not long after my mother left, my father also left. It was boring to stay at the celebration banquet. I missed my mother, so I came to visit her and talk to her."

The Queen raised her hand slightly, motioning her to sit next to her. Princess Pingyang sat over and snuggled up to her mother.

"Don't worry, mother. Father has always loved and respected you. He won't really let you reflect on your mistakes for three months. I will go to see you in a few days. In less than half a month, you will be able to move freely."

The queen stroked her face, feeling very relieved. "As long as you and Ye'er are well, mother has nothing to ask for. Being confined to her house is nothing."

"I know that the Queen Mother doesn't care, but I can't bear to see her suffer."

The queen smiled and said, "My Jing'er has grown up."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while.

Princess Pingyang suddenly changed the subject: "But there is one thing I don't understand. Why did your mother insist on killing Lord Xie? There are not many people in the Xie family serving as officials in the court now, and the family is mainly engaged in business. How have we offended your mother?"

The queen frowned, unable to answer her daughter's question for a moment.

Princess Pingyang added, "Last time, Lord Xie got rid of Marquis Shi'an. He is our benefactor. We should treat him well, right, mother?"

Queen: "..."

"I am an unfilial son, and I want to ask you a favor." Princess Pingyang said, "I ask you to live in peace with Lord Xie. He is truly a talented person, and he looks very kind. He will never harm us."

When the queen heard her daughter pleading for Xie Lin, her first reaction was anger. Why did she do this?

It’s all for her two children!

As a result, her daughter actually pleaded for Xie Lin, which made the queen feel that she was betrayed by her own daughter. It was an uncomfortable feeling and made her very angry.

But looking at her daughter's serious and desperate face, something suddenly rushed into the queen's mind and made her suddenly understand something.

"Jing'er, tell your mother if you like Xie Lin!" The queen's voice was a little hoarse, and her expression became hideous and terrifying.

But Dongfang Jing was brought up in love, and even if Daqi needed to send a princess to marry a foreign prince, she would never be sent.

Therefore, she dared to look directly into the Queen's eyes at this moment: "Mother, I have never seen a man more handsome and powerful than Lord Xie. I... do like him. Please do not arrange a marriage for him from now on."

The queen gasped and slapped Dongfang Jing on the face, which stunned him. Nanny An beside him also didn't come back to his senses.

Dongfang Jing had never been beaten since she was a child. Even when she was naughty and broke the queen's favorite bracelet, the queen would first care about whether she was injured.

But now, the queen slapped her in the face.

"Everyone says that Lord Xie looks like the Crown Prince and is more talented than the Crown Prince... Mother, are you worried that Lord Xie will outshine the Crown Prince, so you want to kill him? Even I, your son, like him, but you can't?" Dongfang Jing asked unconvincedly with red eyes.

She was extremely sad, so she used sharp words to pierce the queen, trying to stab her all over.

Sure enough, she chose the right "weapon".

The queen was so angry at her words that she trembled all over, her face turned blue, and her eyes were as sharp as knives.

"I'm warning you, don't provoke Xie Lin! Otherwise, I won't mind locking you up until you get married and have children!"

"I won't! I just want to like him!"

The queen slapped him again, using all her strength, causing blood to flow from the corner of Dongfang Jing's mouth and his body to fall to the ground.

She covered her face and looked at her mother in disbelief.

The first time she was beaten, she thought her mother acted on impulse and would definitely regret and feel guilty after beating her, so she never expected to be beaten a second time.

"If you dare to like him or have any entanglement with him, I will cut off your legs and make sure you can never leave the palace in your life! Or, ask your father to send you to another country to marry!" The queen said sternly.

Dongfang Jing looked at her mother and felt for the first time that her mother was terrifying. She saw murderous intent in her mother's eyes. She couldn't help but believe that as long as she dared to get close to Xie Lin, her mother would really kill her.

Although Dongfang Jing did not give up, she did not dare to yell at her mother anymore. She covered her face and cried like rain.

The queen gradually came to her senses, pulled her up, touched her face, wiped her tears, and asked her if it hurt.

She also said: "As long as you don't like Xie Lin, you are still the good daughter of the Queen Mother, the noble Princess of Daqi, and the Queen Mother will never beat you again..."

More than twenty years ago, she did not leave any traces for the emperor to investigate.

But in more than 20 years, she had never thought that her daughter would like Xie Lin!

She would never allow such a thing to happen, and she had to find a prince consort for her daughter as soon as possible.

As long as she gets married, my daughter will give up.

Otherwise her daughter would definitely be used by Xie Lin!

Then her twenty years of planning would be in vain.

"But mother, why?" Dongfang Jing shed tears, looking so pitiful. She had never liked anyone until she met Xie Lin.

"No reason." The queen's answer was cold and resolute.

And Xie Lin, whom the mother and daughter were talking about, had already left the palace and was sitting in a carriage. The carriage was parked under a big tree by the road and had not left for a long time.

He was waiting for Chu Heyi.
