The Queen understood Meng Wan's feelings for Jiang Chen. Ever since she first saw Jiang Chen at a banquet two years ago, Meng Wan had been infatuated with him.

It goes without saying how much the emperor values ​​Jiang Chen. He once even mentioned marrying Meng Wan to him to strengthen relations with the Qian Kingdom.

If Si Ruoxin hadn't appeared, they might have arranged Jiang Chen's marriage long ago. If they could take this opportunity to get rid of Si Ruoxin, perhaps the emperor would be happy to see such a result.

Thinking of this, the queen decided to use this opportunity to completely get rid of Jiang Xue.

Anyway, this matter can be handled through means in the harem. Even if Si Ruoxin is eliminated in the end, it will not be linked to the court.

They can do it without leaving any trace, so that outsiders cannot criticize them.

"According to Her Majesty's logic, if I was really jealous, why didn't I do something more drastic? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just take the princess's life? Why cut off her hair and give her the opportunity to tell on me in front of Her Majesty? Isn't this asking for trouble?" Jiang Xue's question left the Queen speechless.

"You are such a vicious woman. You dare to threaten the safety of the princess. Queen, did you hear me? This woman is very scheming. If she is not severely punished, Meng Wan is really afraid that one day she will never see the Queen again. Meng Wan still hopes to continue to serve the Queen and the third princess."

Meng Wan's eyes were filled with tears, and she did not forget to mention the third princess, whom the Queen cared about the most. This touched the most vulnerable part of the Queen's heart, and she felt even more pity for Meng Wan.

"Empress, Si Ruo is cruel, you must listen carefully. She actually dared to threaten to deal with the princess in front of you. If she is not disciplined, how can the princess's safety be guaranteed? The princess is your beloved child!

Si Ruoxin's treatment of the princess is disrespectful to you and the royal family." Wang Xiurong's words further deepened the queen's dissatisfaction with Jiang Xue.

"Come here, capture Si Ruoxin, shave her head, and parade her through the streets. I want to show all the people what the consequences of insulting the royal family are. After the parade, drive her out of Huyin City and never allow her to set foot in Beixi again."

As the order was issued, Meng Wan felt a sense of relief. She glanced at Jiang Xue and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Si Ruoxin, this is what happens when you resist me. Deportation is too easy for you. After you leave Huyin City, I will find some people to "entertain" you well."

Just as the guards were about to step forward to arrest Jiang Xue, a clear and firm voice came from outside Fengming Palace: "Stop."

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an irresistible majesty. The person who came was the current Imperial Consort Mo Ying, the eldest daughter of the Mo family of the Northern Xi Dynasty.

"See the Queen."

Mo Ying, who was four months pregnant, walked slowly into the hall with the support of her personal maid.

Because she was pregnant with a dragon, the emperor granted her special permission not to perform the ceremony.

The queen did not dare to neglect the imperial concubine, fearing that it would hurt her body, and immediately asked her to sit down.

"Sister, you are pregnant. You should rest in the palace. Why did you come here? Be careful not to affect the fetus."

"Reporting to the Queen, the Third Princess heard that Miss Si was in Fengming Palace and wanted to come and see her. That's why I brought the princess here. I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I entered the door. I wonder what Miss Si did wrong that made the Queen order her to be expelled from the country?"

Mo Ying waved her hand lightly, and the maids led Shangguan Xun into the palace.

Strangely, as soon as Shangguan Xun saw Jiang Xue, she immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

The queen was also surprised to see this scene. Since Shangguan Xun became demented, she no longer recognized anyone, even the queen who loved her the most could not attract her attention.

However, today, she showed such enthusiasm towards Si Ruoxin.

"This..." The queen pointed at her daughter and looked at Mo Ying in confusion.

"Are you surprised, Queen? I am too. Today my sister came to visit me in the palace and talked about Miss Si. I didn't expect the Third Princess to react so strongly.

I guess the Third Princess might still remember Miss Si. If that's the case, maybe Miss Si can help the Third Princess recover. So I took the liberty of bringing the Third Princess here."

Mo Ying spoke slowly, her voice was soft and pleasant, making people feel comfortable.

"Royal Concubine, you may have misunderstood. Si Ruoxin is a cruel and jealous person. Look at what she has done to the princess. How can such a low-quality woman be allowed to get close to the third princess!"

What Wang Xiurong couldn't stand the most was people like Mo Ying who came from a prominent family and were calm and composed. What's more, they had opposing positions, so Wang Xiurong naturally would not agree with Mo Ying's point of view.

He said he wanted to cure the third princess's illness, but in fact he wanted to rescue Si Ruoxin.

She knew very well that she must not let this woman escape.

"Bad character?" Mo Ying seemed a little surprised by Wang Xiurong's accusation.

In fact, before Mo Huan came to find her, Mo Ying had already learned about Si Ruoxin's situation from her younger brother Mo Chenjun.

Mo Chenjun always had a unique vision. He told Mo Ying that Si Ruoxin was not an ordinary woman. She was extremely outstanding in both wisdom and courage.

Ever since he last saw this woman in the palace, Mo Ying had been looking forward to the opportunity to get to know her better. Today, when Mo Huan came to ask for help, Mo Ying agreed without hesitation.

Shangguan Xun is also in her palace. As the queen's jewel in the crown, bringing her here can help the queen lower her guard.

"As far as I know, Miss Si has good character, is smart and calm, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has high praise for her. How could she have the bad character that Wang Xiurong said?

If she was really that bad, how could the third princess be so close to her? Everyone present knew that the third princess was like a three-year-old child. Children's intuition was the purest, and they could tell who was good and who was bad at a glance.

If Miss Si is really not good, the Third Princess would not be so attached to her, Queen, don't you think so? "Mo Ying's words made the Queen unable to refute.

Her words cleverly implicated Shangguan Xun. If the queen denied it, it would be tantamount to denying Shangguan Xun's choice.

Mo Ying was indeed a well-informed woman, her conversation and opinions were far beyond the reach of Wang Xiurong and her ilk. Just a few words left the queen speechless.

Jiang Xue moved her body slightly, as Shangguan Xun was holding her tightly, making it difficult for her to move.

"Third Princess, can you please loosen up a little?"

Her arms were grabbed by the guards and Shangguan Xun hugged her so tightly that she had difficulty breathing.

Shangguan Xun heard her words and obediently let go of her hand.

"This guy can actually understand what people say?" Someone whispered. The queen's sharp eyes immediately swept over him, and the person immediately fell silent.
