After waiting for a few people to come out, they found a place to hide. Originally, they could have left here directly, but this man has not woken up yet. He is someone Lu Xuefei knows, and she must save him.

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Xue Fei, you and the Eighth Prince take him away and hide him first, and we will go separately." One of them is the Crown Princess and the other is Princess Yu, so there is no need for them to hide like this.

But Luo Ziqiong could hide for a while and see how the other party would act.

Luo Ziqiong suddenly said, "I know Xie Yu is having a tryst with the daughter of the Zhao family! Concubine Yan must be trying to have it both ways. On the one hand, she is framing me, and on the other hand, she is letting her son seduce the daughter of the Zhao family, just waiting for her to divorce me, and then they will marry a girl from the Zhao family. Now she is doing this, not only to divorce me, but also to kill me."

Luo Ziqiong was also disappointed. "My parents came to the palace today to pay homage to the emperor. They said that they would divorce Xie Yu and me even if they had to give up their titles." She also knew many secrets of Xie Yu. Since they were unkind, she shouldn't blame her for being disloyal.

Jiang Fenghua immediately had an idea in his mind, "Even if we want a divorce, it can't be a good deal for Concubine Yan and Prince Yu." It seems that Miss Zhao is determined to be the Princess of Yu, and she is not a good person either, so what if she loses her reputation?

The Zhao family is the residence of the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire Great Zhou and is extremely wealthy. Xie Shang has not yet found out about the Zhao family, so he must have his own plans.

He can't just do it all at once, otherwise it will be detrimental to the development of Da Zhou. The Zhao family can only prosper for a while now, but it is uncertain whether they can prosper in the future.

Her eldest brother was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and worked under Minister Zhao. In this situation, she could not take any action, let alone show up.

Besides, she is the Crown Princess, and she cannot interfere in the royal affairs behind Xie Shang's back.

Jiang Fenghua said to Luo Ziqiong, "Ziqiong, I can't help you with this, but I have a way to help you... No matter what happens next, it depends on you. Even if you have to go to the emperor, you can only rely on yourself to argue for your rights."

"The Crown Princess saved me today. I am very grateful. Thank you, Fenghua." Luo Ziqiong said and turned away. She didn't want to implicate the Crown Princess because of her affairs.

When Jiang Fenghua returned to the banquet, Queen Cheng was not there. The Emperor and Concubine Ya were drinking together and seemed to be appreciating the moon. They looked very happy.

There was still singing and dancing here, and she looked in the direction of Concubine Yan and Concubine Zhao.

There were smiles on their lips, as if they were determined to win.

Jiang Fenghua just couldn't understand. Concubine Yan also had the surname Luo, so how could she treat Luo Ziqiong like this, completely disregarding their relationship as relatives? Did she have some deep hatred with the Luo family?

Even if there is a grudge against the Luo family, it has nothing to do with Luo Ziqiong!

Jiang Fenghua only knew that after entering the palace, the struggle was cruel, life-and-death, and no one would hesitate to use any means necessary. She had never imagined that even her own family members could be so heartless and ungrateful.

However, it is indeed touching that Luo Ziqiong's father was willing to give up his title and ask for a divorce for his daughter.

Concubine Yan did it for her son, and Earl Luo did it for his daughter.

At this time, a palace maid came over and said, "Her Majesty, please ask the Crown Princess to come over. Her Majesty is waiting for the Crown Princess in the Imperial Garden."

Jiang Fenghua knew that she would have to face the storm of Queen Cheng sooner or later, and Zhu Zhenzhen had lost her child herself, which had nothing to do with her. Before leaving, she also sent someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was delayed a little because of some things.

Cheng Langjin, you crazy woman, today I will make you and Xie Shang completely fall out.

Queen Cheng came to the pavilion in the imperial garden. This was considered the inner palace, while the banquet hall was in the outer palace, so it was relatively quiet here. It was also a place specially used to hold various banquets.

Nanny Xi stood far away, and Jiang Fenghua asked Lian Ye to stand next to Nanny Xi and went to the pavilion alone.

At this time, Queen Cheng had cleared the place, and she came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the moon and drink wine in a leisurely manner.

In fact, she just didn't want to see the emperor and Concubine Ya being so affectionate. She didn't know how old she was. Concubine Ya could be his daughter, and she thought she was still young.

Queen Cheng became angrier and angrier as she watched, so she simply left. She had people set out wine and food, and drank alone, not allowing anyone to disturb her. It was only later that she learned that something had happened to Zhu Zhenzhen on the stage.

Seeing Empress Cheng, Jiang Fenghua bowed respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to you, mother. What do you want from me?"

Queen Cheng walked up and slapped Jiang Fenghua in the face without asking a single question.

Suddenly, a crisp "pop" sound was heard in the air.

Jiang Fenghua was caught off guard by her move, and heard Queen Cheng say, "What's the matter? You still have the nerve to ask me what's the matter? Why didn't you know that Zhu Liangdi was pregnant? Why did you let her dance on the stage? Now the child is gone. This is what you said about taking care of the ladies in every detail..."

Xie Shang saw from afar that his mother's finger was about to poke Jiang Fenghua's nose. Jiang Fenghua looked like a bullied young wife, waiting for her to scold him. He also saw with his own eyes that his mother slapped her in the face.

Xie Shang was filled with rage. He didn't understand why his mother was such a vicious person. What did Jiang Fenghua do wrong? Was she blaming Jiang Fenghua for Zhu Zhenzhen's miscarriage again?

Xie Shang took three steps at a time and almost ran to Jiang Fenghua. He pushed Queen Cheng away, his eyes full of ice. "Mother, are you crazy? Ruan Ruan did something wrong, so you beat her."

Empress Cheng staggered and nearly fell down. She stared at Xie Shang in disbelief, "I am your mother, and you pushed her for an outsider. Why did you treat me like this? Your father treated me like this, and even my only son treated me like this. I did this for your own good, so that you could keep your position..."

"You are not my mother." Xie Shang lowered his voice and said coldly. He really doubted that she was not his biological mother. Otherwise, why did she not care about him at all, but only the heir to the throne? Was the heir to the throne more important than his own son? So she must not be his biological mother.

In fact, Xie Shang has always had doubts in his heart and has never gotten the correct answer.

Empress Cheng turned pale and took his hand. "What did you say? How can I not be your mother? I was pregnant for ten months before I gave birth to you..."

"My biological mother is a palace maidservant of the Queen Mother! She is also Rong Xiu, the maidservant who came with the Queen Mother as a dowry." Xie Shang directly told the secret he knew. He had kept it in his heart for more than 20 years, and finally asked about it.

Empress Cheng had long forgotten the appearance of that palace maid. When the old incident was brought up, she stared at Xie Shang and was almost speechless. "What do you know? How could I not be your mother? I gave birth to you. You are my child. Where did you hear such nonsense?"

Xie Shang's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice, "When you were little, you and the emperor always quarreled behind closed doors. You quarreled about these things. The queen mother was with another man just to have a royal heir, but the emperor found out. What did you do afterwards... Do you really treat me as your own son, or do you treat me as a tool to gain power?"

Empress Cheng turned pale with fear, "Shang'er, keep your voice down, it's not like that."

"Don't worry. I have asked someone to guard outside before I came to see the Queen Mother. My conversation with the Queen Mother will not be spread out." Xie Shang was not planning to avoid Jiang Fenghua. She was his wife. If Queen Cheng caused trouble for Jiang Fenghua again, Jiang Fenghua would not dare to make trouble because she had the leverage over Queen Cheng.

"Shang'er, you misunderstood. It's not like that. Rongxiu's child died at birth. You are really my son. Your father knows that too..."

"Father also knows that you have an affair with the man in Old Madam Cheng's family, so Father also hates you." Xie Shang deeply hurt Queen Cheng with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"No." Her voice was trembling. How did Shang'er know that? She didn't...

Xie Shang didn't want to remind her anymore, so he took Jiang Fenghua and left. From today on, Emperor Cheng shouldn't dare to act like a mother-in-law to her anymore! Even if Xie Shang ascended the throne, he wouldn't give Empress Cheng real power.

It turned out that what she guessed was almost right. Empress Cheng had also slept with men other than the emperor. Tsk tsk, no wonder the emperor didn't touch her for so many years.
