At this time, Xie Shang came back to the two of them. Noticing the tense atmosphere, he asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all outside?"

Su Tingwan looked at Xie Shang with a weak and pitiful look. In front of Jiang Fenghua, she pulled Xie Shang to a corner and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you promise me that you would take me back to the frontier? My grandmother and my eldest brother are still waiting for us."

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "The plan has changed. Now that my mother is seriously ill, it is impossible for her not to have someone to take care of her. You are the concubine of Prince Heng's mansion, and also my mother's daughter-in-law, so you should stay to take care of her."

He whispered again, "Wanwan, you had a bad relationship with the Queen Mother before. This is a good opportunity to repair your relationship with her." He was worried that Su Tingwan would be disrespectful to her because of this matter, so he came to talk to her in person.

"Your Highness knows that the Queen doesn't like me. No matter what I do, she hates me. I don't know how to serve anyone, and I'm afraid that if I don't do well, I'll make the Queen angry, which will only deepen her resentment." Su Tingwan said directly: "The Princess is more skilled in these matters."

At this time, Jiang Fenghua held Aoxue's hand and turned away. Lian Ye ran over angrily, bowed to Xie Shang, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach just now, and she said she would not wait for the prince and the concubine."

Xie Shang looked at her leaving with a flash of worry in his eyes, "What's wrong with the princess? Call the imperial physician quickly."

"The princess said there is no need to call the imperial physician. She was just busy all day and stood for too long. She felt a little stomachache and it would be fine after a rest." What she meant was that the princess was exhausted taking care of the queen all day long.

After hearing this, Xie Shang left Su Tingwan and chased after Jiang Fenghua.

"Your Highness." Su Tingwan was furious. She finally found an excuse to get out. She wanted to find Xie Shang and ask him to take her out of the palace. At least Xie Shang needed the support of the Su family now. What could Jiang Fenghua do to help him?

Xie Shang caught up with Jiang Fenghua and held her hand, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Fenghua pulled her hand away, "Your Highness, please go and do your work. I will stay in Kunning Palace tonight. I will leave the palace when my mother is well again."

"You are pregnant, how can you stay and go back to the palace with me..."

Jiang Fenghua said in a cold voice, "Let Concubine Su and the prince go back!"

She was too lazy to talk to him any more. Su Tingwan just relied on the support of the Su family, so Xie Shang was more lenient towards her.

Then she turned and left.

Xie Shang was quick-witted and didn't give her a chance. He grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Ruan Ruan."

"Your Majesty, please don't call me like that. Call your Wanwan instead! I finally understand that no one can replace Concubine Su's position in Your Majesty's heart." She frowned and anger flashed in her eyes. She didn't get angry. Xie Shang always thought she was easy to coax. If she wanted to keep Su Tingwan today, she would have to put in some effort.

In her previous life, Su Tingwan had always followed Xie Shang.

After hearing this, Xie Shang's heart trembled slightly, "Did Wanwan say something to you?"

"Your Highness can ask her yourself, why do you ask me everything?" Her eyes were slightly red, like a wronged young wife, and she added, "Your Highness has been forgiving of Concubine Su time and time again, and I can understand that. I know even more that Your Highness likes her and puts her in the most important position in his heart. I have known this since the day I married you, and I have never dared to forget it, nor have I dared to ask for too much. I am already very satisfied to be able to be a husband and wife with Your Highness and respect each other.

From childhood to adulthood, the things I have done and the etiquette I have learned have never taught me to instigate people to pretend to be sick, and I have never been so capable as to instigate my mother. "Does he think she has no temper?

When Xie Shang heard this, he thought to himself: Su Tingwan said that the Queen Mother was faking illness? He saw the Queen Mother's illness with his own eyes, Su Tingwan really dared to say anything!

Did she really think that he could only rely on her Su family to fight off the Hu people? She still didn't take her mother seriously.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Fenghua left. No one saw the moment she turned around, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips. The more Su Tingwan did this, the further Xie Shang would be pushed away.

She really thought that the Su family was the only one in the world who knew how to fight. The Su family had worked hard and made great contributions, so everyone should respect them. Everything should be done in moderation, otherwise it would be considered as being too much and shocking to the master, and would be hated by others.

The emperor did not allow Xie Shang to marry Su Tingwan as his wife. Wasn't there any consideration in this regard?

Jiang Fenghua didn't believe it. The emperor was so suspicious by nature that he was wary even of his own son, let alone a general who was stationed at the border all year round.

Su Tingwan saw the two quarreling and Jiang Fenghua left in anger. She was delighted, "Your Majesty, look, I really am..."

Xie Shang stared at her face with a fierce and terrifying look, causing Su Tingwan to shut up instantly.

Before she could speak coquettishly, Xie Shang's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all. "Did the king tell you to take good care of the queen mother?"

"Yes, but..."

"But what? Do you think your mother is pretending to be sick and the princess is trying to harm you?" Xie Shang said coldly.

Su Tingwan's heart trembled, isn't it? Just now, after they all went out, she saw Queen Cheng sitting up from the quilt, and her condition didn't seem to be so serious that she needed someone to take care of her.

Empress Cheng hated her to the core and would definitely find an opportunity to torture and humiliate her.

Of course, she would not say these words in front of Xie Shang. She asked, "What did the princess and the prince say?"

"She didn't say anything. It's always been you who's been petty, jealous, and trying to harm the princess. Even this time, I thought you must have learned to restrain yourself and be a little more dignified and polite after being away for three months. But you haven't changed your ways, and now you're even trying to frame the queen mother." If the Su family wants to support Su Tingwan, it depends on whether I'm willing to do so.

Xie Shang had already made up his mind, and he left Su Tingwan speechless, and she went straight after Jiang Fenghua.

After a moment, Xie Shang forcefully carried Jiang Fenghua and walked past Su Tingwan without even looking at her.

Jiang Fenghua looked up at Su Tingwan and gave her a provocative smile. This time, Su Tingwan shouldn't be so complacent and think that she can rest easy just because the Su family came back to support her.

Su Tingwan was so angry when she saw this that she jumped up and down, and a mouthful of blood blocked her chest, and she couldn't get it up or down. "Prince."

Xie Shang said coldly to the maid of Kunning Palace, "Stop Concubine Su. The Queen Mother is ill. Let her stay and take good care of her. If anything happens to the Queen Mother, I will hold you responsible."

The palace maids were so frightened that they kept saying, "Farewell, Prince and Princess."

Nanny Xi ordered someone to stop Su Tingwan and said in a cold voice, "The Queen is ill. Please ask the concubine to come to the palace to take care of the Queen and the mother-in-law. This is the concubine's duty as a daughter-in-law."

She doesn't even know this, and she still wants to compete for favor. Why does she think she can win over the prince's legitimate princess?
