You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

"Where is the young marquis...wouldn't you like to go and see him?" Nanny Xu suddenly asked.

When the news of the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine came out, the Queen Mother wrote a letter asking the young marquis to bring his sister to Yecheng, with the intention of seizing the position of the Crown Prince's Consort.

Who would have thought that there was no movement at all, and the prince almost avoided the Wu siblings.

When this matter was mentioned, the Queen Mother's face was not very good. She said gloomily, "I have been back for so long, but he has never appeared. Does he still have eyes for me, his aunt?"

"Queen Dowager, please calm down. The young marquis has always been steady and perhaps he is just having many inconveniences right now." Nanny Xu soothed.

The Queen Mother then gave up and wandered in the garden for a long time before returning to her bedroom.

Ever since the Queen Mother returned to the palace, the concubines in the palace have had the additional trouble of paying respects, and everyone has become more cautious.

"My mother's health is getting worse day by day. I had no choice but to let her return to the palace. It has been more than ten years since the incident. Perhaps she has changed for the better." In Zhaoren Hall, the emperor carefully picked up food for the empress and spoke carefully.

The queen had a stern face the entire time, and her tone was calm, with no hint of emotion. "Your Majesty, there is no need to say so much to me. You are the emperor, and everything is up to you. I have nothing to say."

"I..." The emperor couldn't bear to lose face, and threw his chopsticks in anger, saying unhappily: "She is my biological mother. Filial piety comes first among all virtues. What do you want me to do? If my mother dies outside, how will people in the world look at me?"

"I am the ruler of a country and a role model for all people."

The queen looked at him and didn't tolerate his angry look. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and stood up angrily, "Then your majesty should just fulfill your filial duty. I can't get over what happened in the past, and the child can't get over it either."

"If Your Majesty insists on forcing me to do this, then please depose the Queen!"

With that she snorted coldly and walked away. Whoever wanted to be the queen could do so. She didn't care about it.

When Yingying came back from traveling, she took her son and daughter-in-law away, leaving the old man to live out his life alone.

The emperor was furious but at his wits' end. He pinched his brows in pain, and everyone was making life difficult for him.

The group of people who were trying hard to rush to Yecheng did not dare to rest for too long on the way. After traveling for more than ten days, they suddenly received a letter from Tang Yang.

After reading the contents of the letter, several people discussed countermeasures overnight. The inn here was rather simple, without even candles, only faint kerosene lamps.

Under the dim firelight, the three men looked heavy-hearted.

Liang Heng and Xiao Dai both looked at the silent Xiao Su. He calmly lit the letter and said indifferently, "She is afraid that I will succeed to the throne, so she can't hold back any longer."

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Liang Heng asked embarrassedly, touching his nose.

He didn't want to come, but was forced by the two of them.

Xiao Dai turned the Buddhist beads and said sternly, "Kill."

Liang Heng almost fell off the stool because he was not sitting firmly. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "...My Lord, you, you are a disciple of Buddhism. Isn't it not good to talk about fighting and killing all the time?"

"Amitabha! I will help them to be liberated." Xiao Dai said compassionately.

Liang Heng: "..."

Xiao Su said: "Wu Xu can't hold on any longer. I will hurry back tomorrow."

The two of them agreed very much.

The three of them chatted for a long time before they ended the conversation. When Xiao Su walked out of the room, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the stairwell.

The girl was wearing a pink cloak with a furry collar and a hat sewn on it, which was made for her by Han Liang.

"Why are you sitting here?" Xiao Su walked towards her, the haze in his eyes faded away, replaced by warmth.

Cui Yingying handed him a roasted sweet potato and said with a smile, "Shangying told me that you were discussing something, so I came here to wait for you. Here are the sweet potatoes they roasted."

"Is it for me?" Xiao Su took it naturally.

Who would have thought that the girl's next words would break the ambiguous atmosphere. She shook her head seriously and said, "No, I asked you to peel it for me."

"I haven't eaten anything that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has peeled for me yet! What do you want to taste?"

Xiao Su: "..."

The two people who came out right after looked at each other and curled their lips.
