The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Everyone present was stunned by the Queen Mother's roar.

Shen Yuanmu frowned, took a step back to create some distance, and saluted respectfully.

"See the Queen Mother."

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother quickly returned the greeting, her attitude was even more respectful than Shen Yuanmu's, and her tone was even full of fear.

"No, no, no, I should be the one to greet you. I didn't expect you to come so soon, and I haven't prepared anything yet..."

Shen Yuanmu was confused. Although he was not afraid of power, he could not accept a salute from the empress dowager, so he quickly bowed again.

But the Queen Mother became even more frightened and bowed to him again.

……

Then the two of them started to greet each other, leaving Shen Qingyan and Ye Yuege looking at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Qingyan pointed to her head, implying that the Queen Mother had something wrong.

Ye Yuege nodded, not quite understanding.

Seeing that if they continued to bow, they would become brother and sister, Shen Qingyan and Ye Yuege hurried forward to stop them.

"What is this, mother?"

"Yuan Mu, stop bowing..."

The Queen Mother turned her head and held Shen Qingyan's hand tightly, her voice trembling.

"Yan'er, my good daughter-in-law, Bei Huai knows he is wrong, you must not be angry."

Shen Qingyan's face was filled with black lines. It seemed that the Queen Mother was even crazier than last time.

"What is mother talking about? But is it another nightmare?"

She had heard that the empress dowager often had nightmares, which caused her to be unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. She talked nonsense every day after waking up. Gu Ruxiao had visited her several times, but she kept kowtowed to him and admitted her mistakes. Gu Ruxiao was so scared that he kowtowed to her and dared not set foot in the Cining Palace anymore.

The Queen Mother didn't listen to what Shen Qingyan was saying at all and just kept talking to herself.

"Yan'er, listen to what mother says. No matter what Bei Huai did wrong, don't be angry. I will teach him a lesson."

The corners of Shen Qingyan's mouth twitched. Just as she was about to pull back her hand that was hurt by her pulling, she naturally let go and then did something that made everyone drop their jaws.

She just knelt down in the direction of Shen Yuanmu.

Fortunately, Shen Yuanmu reacted quickly and dodged to the side.

The palace maids hurried forward and pulled the Queen Mother up.

But the empress dowager was so strong after going crazy that she couldn't be stopped at all. Wherever Shen Yuanmu went, she knelt in that direction and even pretended to kowtow.

The whole room was in chaos because of the Queen Mother's actions.

Shen Qingyan immediately gave orders: Qingmei went to invite the imperial physician, Zhiqing went to inform the emperor, and Huayan went to call the imperial guards in...

Fortunately, there was still someone who could control the empress dowager. Before the imperial guards came in, Gu Ruxiao rushed in first.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

She immediately rushed forward and forcibly pulled the queen mother up, coaxing her in a gentle voice, "Mother, this is not the Cining Palace. If there is anything, let's go back and talk about it."

The Queen Mother became even more excited when she saw Gu Ruxiao.

"Ruxiao, are you still blaming mother? Mother is wrong, mother is sorry for you..."

Then he was about to kneel down again after just standing up.

This behavior stunned Shen Qingyan and others.

After the Queen Mother became mentally ill, she developed a habit of kneeling whenever she saw someone?

It shows how many bad things I have done before...

"Mother, please get up quickly. You have done nothing wrong to me." Gu Ruxiao pulled the empress dowager with difficulty. The imperial guards came to help and finally dragged the empress dowager away.

Before leaving, she looked back at Shen Yuanmu three times, wanting to say something, but she didn't have time to say it.

As soon as the person left, the room instantly became quiet.

Gu Ruxiao felt a little embarrassed and said to Shen Qingyan first.

"Sister-in-law, my mother is mentally ill and her words are rude. I hope she didn't offend you?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head. "She didn't do anything to me, but to my brother... If you had come a step later, she would have sworn brotherhood with my brother."

The scene was truly jaw-dropping.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Ruxiao's face, and he quickly turned to Shen Yuanmu, his tone noticeably lower.

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry."

She kept her eyes down, with no intention of making eye contact with Shen Yuanmu.

She had mixed feelings towards this man whom she once loved madly, and both her body and mind wanted to avoid him.

After a moment, Shen Yuanmu uttered two words lightly.

"It doesn't matter."

The tone was calm and indifferent, filled with a sense of alienation. Even though Gu Ruxiao had told herself that it was time to let it go, her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard such a tone.

Especially after seeing Shen Yuanmu and Ye Yuege holding hands tightly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The atmosphere was inexplicably depressing. Shen Qingyan sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to hold Gu Ruxiao's hand.

"Ruxiao, you haven't been here for a long time. Last time I asked you to cooperate with the acting, I didn't have time to talk to you properly. You are not allowed to leave today. You haven't told me what's going on with Aunt Huang and Ghost Blade."

Gu Ruxiao subconsciously glanced at Shen Yuanmu, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.

Shen Qingyan has a close relationship with her, so how could she not see her emotions?

But she had to let Gu Ruxiao know that escape was not a solution.

Does she have to hide from Shen Yuanmu and Ye Yuege for the rest of her life?

They and Gu Ruxiao are all people she is very close to, and they will inevitably meet often in the future, so Gu Ruxiao must overcome this hurdle.

Gu Ruxiao was a little hesitant, but Shen Qingyan held her hand and insisted not to let her leave, so she had no choice but to sit down.

Shen Qingyan immediately asked Qingmei to inform the imperial kitchen that she would host a banquet to entertain Shen Yuanmu and others.

Shen Yuanmu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He was just worried that Ye Yuege, who seldom entered the palace, would feel uncomfortable, so he would whisper a few words of concern from time to time.

Ye Yuege felt a little embarrassed, so she pushed him away and spoke in a low voice.

"Qingyan and the princess are still here, this is not good..."

Shen Yuanmu didn't think anything of it. Instead, he quietly squeezed her hand under the table.

"What are you afraid of? We are all family."

own people?

These words were heard by Gu Ruxiao who was observing them involuntarily.

That’s right, she called Shen Qingyan the Imperial Sister-in-law, and Shen Qingyan was his sister. If you think about it carefully, aren’t they a family?

Fortunately, nothing happened between her and Shen Yuanmu... otherwise Shen Qingyan would have called her sister-in-law, and their relationship would have been messed up.

Gu Ruxiao's mind was in a mess until Shen Qingyan's words brought her back to her senses.

"Ruxiao, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Ruxiao said quickly: "I was wondering where I put the new food recipe that the Queen Aunt asked me to give you. By the way, the Queen Aunt is fine, but the secret guard named Ghost Blade was seriously injured. He is much better now..."

The change of topic made Gu Ruxiao relax a lot. He quickly adjusted his state and started chatting and laughing with Shen Qingyan.

At the same time, in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Gu Wenyu had a gloomy look on his face. He stared expressionlessly at the trembling servant in front of him and spoke with gritted teeth.

"Tell me again, where did the princess go?"

The servant trembled, but finally spoke out his words.

"The princess, she went to visit the guard named Ghost Blade again..."
