"Yes."

Shen Yan moved to the Queen and said, "Queen, please extend your hand."

The queen reluctantly extended her right hand.

Shen Yan's fingertips covered the queen's wrist, and after a moment, she reported back to Emperor Xuande.

"Your Majesty, the Queen's pulse is stable and her body is in good health."

"Queen, since your illness has been cured, you should not stay in Kunning Palace all the time. You should go out and do more activities." Emperor Xuande's face was gentle, as if a husband and wife were nagging at home.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen's heart was tense, but she acted generously and appropriately, "Princess Youning's name as a miracle doctor is truly well-deserved. Just by taking a pulse, my concubine's illness was cured."

She was not sick in the first place, she was just pretending to be sick and temporarily hid in Kunning Palace, wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, her plan failed.

Of course Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan also knew that she was not sick, but they didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, so they still wanted to be mysterious and talk about her in circles.

Shen Yan listened to the weirdness in the queen's words, and she was naturally rude.

"Your Majesty's illness is a heart disease. Now that the inner demons are gone, your Majesty's illness will naturally be cured."

This inner demon, of course, refers to Shen Yu.

The queen was at a loss for words. It would be inappropriate for her to accept this, and it would be inappropriate for her not to accept it.

"The demons of the heart need the medicine of the heart. Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a good day for reunion. Queen, the Queen Mother is praying for Da Qin in Puning Temple. It is really hard. You can go and see her on my behalf." Emperor Xuande looked cheerful.

The queen listened to Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan singing and singing. She felt angry in her heart, but she did not dare to show it.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not?" the queen asked.

"If the queen has anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, it has been some time since the Queen Mother went to Puning Temple to pray for blessings. Now that the weather is getting colder, the Queen Mother is getting older and may not be able to withstand the cold winter. The Emperor has always governed the world with benevolence and filial piety. If something goes wrong while praying at Puning Temple, the Queen Mother will pray at that time. If it doesn’t work, it will affect the emperor’s filial reputation.”

The queen's tone was sincere, as if she sincerely considered the emperor.

"Oh?" Emperor Xuande said in a playful tone and narrowed his eyes, "What does the Queen think?"

"I think that I can take the Queen Mother back to the palace to take care of her in her old age, and also to show the emperor's benevolence, virtue and filial piety to the people of the world," the queen said.

"What do you mean by the Queen, if I don't take the Queen Mother back, I will have no filial piety and benevolence?" Emperor Xuande's face instantly turned cold.

"I don't dare." The queen lowered her head slightly.

"Is there anything in this world that the queen dares not do?" Emperor Xuande looked sarcastic.

"My concubine has never disobeyed the emperor's will, and has never violated her responsibilities as a queen." The queen raised her head and felt confident.

She knew that Emperor Xuande suspected that she had colluded with the Queen Mother, but there was no substantial evidence, so he asked her to go to Puning Temple to test her.

"I hope the Queen is really who you say she is."

Emperor Xuande was not angry but was proud of himself, which made the Queen's spine feel cold.

"It's late at night, Queen, let's go to Puning Temple and have a good chat with the Queen Mother."

Emperor Xuande looked at Shen Yan and said, "You Ning, escort the queen."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yan looked at the Queen, "Queen, please."

The queen stood up, held her head high, pretending to be magnanimous and having a clear conscience.

When Shen Yan escorted the queen to Puning Temple, all the banquets in the palace had dispersed.

Xie Huaijing left the palace gate and got directly into the carriage.

Lin Xiaoliu asked, "My lord, are you waiting for the princess?"

"Princess will not return home today." Xie Huaijing said.

Lin Xiaoliu looked curious, "How does the prince know?"

"Use your own brain." Xie Huaijing lowered the carriage curtain and told Lin Xiaoliu, "Let's go back to the house."

Lin Xiaoliu patted his head, "What's this head for? It's not even one-tenth of the prince's."

He muttered a few words and drove away.

After Xie Chengxuan and Xie Chenglin were beaten, they were carried back to their homes.

The queen was on the road at this time, and she did not see Xie Chengxuan's miserable condition.

Concubine Wan heard that the palace servants said that Xie Chenglin was beaten with blood, and she cried bitterly and was extremely sad.

The culprit Xie Chengzhi was already dead, and she did not dare to hate Emperor Xuande who punished Xie Chenglin.

Therefore, she transferred all her hatred to Shen Yan.

She believed that Shen Yan's promotion from princess to princess was due to Xie Chenglin's punishment.

"Shen Yan, you harmed my son, and I won't make it easy for you! Just wait!" Concubine Wan gritted her teeth.

At dawn, Shen Yan took the queen to Puning Temple.

They walked into the temple and saw the deacon talking to the Queen Mother with a cold face.

"The Queen Mother, there is no firewood in the woodshed. Go and chop it."

The queen mother didn't resist, she really walked towards the back mountain with a basket on her back and a knife.

The queen was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.

Since the Queen Mother came to Puning Temple, news about Puning Temple has been blocked.

People outside only knew that the Queen Mother was in Puning Temple, but they didn't know what kind of life she lived.

The queen sent people to inquire many times, but no information was found.

She saw that the Queen Mother was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her hair was simply tied up, and she did not have any jewelry on her body. Her figure was thin, her face was full of vicissitudes of life, and she was exhausted.

The whole person was in a state of desolation, and there was no trace of the Queen Mother on her body.

If the Queen hadn't known the Queen Mother, she wouldn't have recognized her at all and would have thought she was some abandoned old lady.

Shen Yan looked at the queen's shocked expression, and she understood that the queen knew nothing about the situation in Puning Temple.

This is the reason why she and Emperor Xuande decided to let the queen come to Puning Temple.

Not only to test and shock, but also to find out how many people are hiding in the dark on the Queen Mother's line.

"Presumptuous!" The Queen reacted and scolded sternly, "This is the Queen Mother, you are so brave, how dare you be so rude!"

The deacon looked at the queen, "Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

When her eyes fell on Shen Yan, her expression immediately changed, and she saluted respectfully, "I have met Princess Anping."

The news that Shen Yan was named princess has not yet reached Puning Temple, and she did not correct the deacon's title.

"This is the Queen, who came specially to visit the Queen Mother."

The deacon looked panicked and hurriedly knelt down to the Queen, "You bitch, you are blind and don't know the truth. Please forgive me, Queen."

The queen looked at the deacon coldly. If the deacon dared to treat the queen like this, he must have been ordered by Emperor Xuande.

If she turned a blind eye, wouldn't she have guessed Emperor Xuande's intention?

But to embarrass the deacon is to violate Emperor Xuande's will.

She was in a dilemma, but Shen Yan stood beside her without saying a word.

The situation was critical and there was no room for her to think too much.

"Why don't you go and invite the Queen Mother!" the Queen scolded.

The deacon did not answer immediately, but looked at Shen Yan. When she saw Shen Yan nodded slightly, she said, "Yes."

She quickly stood up and went to invite the Queen Mother back.

The moment the Queen Mother saw the Queen, her eyes lit up, and she thought she was finally saved.

But when she saw Shen Yan...
