Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Queen Cheng tried to call him, "Shang'er..."

Xie Shang's heart was as cold as ice. "Mother, please go back first. I will return to pay my respects to you when I have time." This was his filial duty as a son, nothing more.

He would not say these words out loud to hurt his mother's feelings, so he could only bury them deep in his heart.

The eunuchs and palace maids outside the door were kneeling on the ground, and none of them dared to look up inside.

Queen Cheng looked unhappy and said, "Shang'er, have a good rest first. Mother will go back to the palace first." She didn't dare to make him angry again.

She only knew that she could never warm her son's heart, but she never thought that it was because Xie Shang had mistakenly regarded someone else as his biological mother during his growing up that he developed such a cold and hard character.

Even though Xie Shang knew from Jiang Fenghua's intentional or unintentional analysis that she was his mother and they were biological mother and son, he still did not receive a single bit of genuine warmth from Queen Cheng.

The Queen's people were placed around him, and he was always taken care of by others because of his status.

Oh! It’s because of identity again.

Only after seeing Queen Cheng leave did Xie Shang let go of Jiang Fenghua. She seemed to be crying like a tearful person and couldn't stop her tears.

Xie Shang was originally in an extremely depressed mood. He didn't even want to pay attention to Jiang Fenghua. He just wanted to be alone and quiet.

Seeing Jiang Fenghua crying like this, he said, "The Queen Mother has that kind of temper. How can I comfort you so that you don't feel wronged?"

Jiang Fenghua suddenly cried even harder, without saying a word, and hugged him tighter and tighter.

Xie Shang was stunned and lost for a moment. Seeing her crying like this, he forgot about Su Tingwan and hugged her tightly in his arms, holding her waist and letting her vent her grievances. That's how his mother is. She never considers others.

Jiang Fenghua was the wife that the queen mother married for him. What had she done wrong? If she liked his power, she did it for the position of crown princess. He was not yet the crown prince when she married him. After all, the queen mother only married Jiang Fenghua as a chess piece.

After all, it was his father's imperial decree that allowed her to marry him. Was he going to question Su Tingwan about whether she had ulterior motives because of what she said?

There are people in this world who really care about him, besides the vague little girl in his heart, and now Jiang Fenghua is with him. As long as she loves him, he can give her the whole world.

"I stink all over, are you sure you want to keep holding me like this?" Xie Shang deliberately said, "If you don't say anything, I will go back to Chengguang Palace."

Jiang Fenghua got up from his arms, her eyes were swollen from crying, as if she had vented enough, "I don't feel wronged, I don't feel wronged as long as Your Highness protects me. No matter how my mother punishes me, I know I have Your Highness and our child, and that's enough."

All her words to coax him were of no use. Queen Cheng's fuss actually helped her.

In her previous life, Queen Cheng had cursed her with even harsher words than this, and she had no choice but to endure it, which was of no use at all. Now, she was taking advantage of Queen Cheng's temper.

Xie Shang didn't ask her if she was like Su Tingwan. It was enough for him to feel her by his side.

"I'll take you horseback riding!" He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Go out and relax for a while, and you'll forget the unhappiness in your heart."

"Yes." She nodded, "But I may need to take a bath first, otherwise I won't be able to go out in this state."

"I just happened to have this plan. I'll take a shower with you." His voice was low and ambiguous. "It seems like we haven't seen each other for another half a month. I miss you."

"I miss your Highness too..."

The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door knelt on the ground, all feeling sorry for the Crown Princess.

The room was a mess and Hongxiu could not hold back her tears. Finally, she asked someone to clean up the floor carefully before sending someone to fetch water.

Xie Shang dismissed all the people and carried Jiang Fenghua into the bathroom.

Lin Feng did not really go to ask for Imperial Physician Mei. He just hid outside with Lian Ye to avoid any misfortune from the Queen.

Lian Ye burst into tears when she heard the Queen's insults, "Why? It's obviously not the Crown Princess' fault."

"The prince also knows. Didn't you hear it? The prince will protect your young lady. If you rush forward, you will only hurt yourself. You must not be impulsive once you enter the palace. This is the only way to save your life." Lin Feng knew Lian Ye's temper.

Lian Ye said, "I know. I'm not stupid. Every day is like walking on a knife's edge. I have to be very careful, fearing that I might lose my life in a moment."

Lin Feng stared at her face. This was the first time he had seen her so closely, and he moved closer and closer.

Lian Ye reacted, "What are you doing?"

Lin Feng's face turned red instantly and he quickly dodged, "There is a spider in your hair, I will help you get it off." He had the desire but not the courage.

Lian Ye said, "Thank you for what you did just now, otherwise I would really be afraid of causing trouble for the Crown Princess."

"It's okay. The Queen has that temper. I've been used to it since I was a child. Whenever she scolds someone, don't get close to her." Lin Feng told her how to deal with the Queen. "The Queen usually makes a lot of noise but does little. In the end, she is the first to stop. She can't do anything to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince listens to her if he wants to, and doesn't listen if he doesn't want to."

On the other side, Empress Cheng came out of the Dawn Palace. She was naturally very angry with the Crown Prince and was very upset. "You bunch of slaves, why didn't you help me just now?"

Nanny Xi didn't go in to mediate just now, she knew that if she did, the Crown Princess might be in an even worse situation, because up to now, the Crown Prince had only favored one lady, and he didn't touch anyone else, especially Tang Liangdi, whom the Queen favored. The Queen had paved so many ways, but the Crown Prince didn't touch anything. The Queen thought that it was all the Crown Princess's fault, and she just waited for the Queen to be in a good mood and stop scolding her.

Everyone bowed their bodies, looking cautious. Empress Cheng continued, "Jiang Fenghua deserves to be scolded by me. As the mistress of the East Palace, she should take the initiative to let the ladies sleep with her one by one. If she handles this matter properly, no one will fight for it. All this is caused by her doting.

I only found out now that Shang'er has always been resentful of me for not letting him marry Su Tingwan as his principal wife. If I had agreed to his request, would the relationship between Shang'er and me be different now? It's too late to say anything." Queen Cheng sighed to herself.

"Did Nanny Wang tell us how Su Tingwan made Shang'er angry and why she was sent to the cold palace?" Queen Cheng asked again.

Nanny Xi said, "Nanny Wang told me that it was Concubine Su and Concubine Ye who conspired to spread rumors and the Crown Prince found out. Concubine Su also said that she no longer liked the Crown Prince and said many hurtful things to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince fainted from anger." It had nothing to do with the Crown Princess, but the Queen scolded her.

After hearing this, Empress Cheng asked, “Did Su Tingwan make Shang’er angry?” Even so, it was also because Jiang Fenghua was not managing the Eastern Palace well.

"How did Ye Susu get involved? Is she close to Su Tingwan?"

"I heard from Nanny Wang that Ye Susu and Concubine Su were close when they were in the Crown Prince's Mansion. They were naturally unhappy that the Crown Princess was favored. This time, I'm afraid that Ye Liangqie mixed up these things because she saw Song Fengyi was favored. In the end, it was Miss Lu who stood up and said that she had nothing wrong with her relationship with the Crown Prince." This meant that the two of them teamed up to deal with the Crown Princess. Nanny Xi didn't dare to speak for Jiang Fenghua, because Nanny Wang was the Queen's spy planted in the Eastern Palace.

The queen became more and more confused. Since the prince didn't like Lu Xuefei, why did he let her be a maid in Chengguang Palace? Did Shang'er like Su Tingwan or not?

Ye Susu was pregnant, how could he not like her? Now he had banished Ye Susu to the cold palace.

Unable to figure it out, Queen Cheng decided to go to the cold palace in person.

Su Qingqing is also still imprisoned in the cold palace.
