Tang Yinyu frowned: "Li Fu, you have overstepped your boundaries."

"I deserve to die." Eunuch Li fell to his knees and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Forget it, what you said makes sense." Tang Yinyu said in a deep voice.

Eunuch Li quickly responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and get up!" Tang Yinyu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li quickly got up.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as the two of them walked a few steps away, they met a woman in a gorgeous dress walking towards them.

The woman was beautiful, with fair skin and a pair of hook-like eyes that were captivating and alluring.

She walked gracefully, her steps moving elegantly, her slender waist swaying, her figure graceful, and her every move full of charm, which made people's heart beat fast.

This woman was none other than Imperial Noble Consort Xiao Yuner.

Tang Yinyu's steps suddenly paused, and he looked at the woman in front of him with complicated eyes. He stopped moving, and even didn't want to move his gaze towards her at all.

Xiao Yuner stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Tang Yinyu came back to his senses, lowered his eyelids slightly, avoided her gaze, and said indifferently: "No need to be polite."

Xiao Yun'er smiled sweetly, stood up gracefully, and said softly, "Your Majesty, are you here in the Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager?"

Tang Yinyu nodded but didn't say anything.

"I heard that the Queen Mother was ill, so I came here to see her. I wonder how she is doing now?"

Tang Yinyu remained silent.

Xiao Yun'er did not feel embarrassed by this, she still smiled sweetly and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I brought you some supplements, if you don't mind, please try them."

She reached out and handed the food box she was carrying to the nanny beside her, asking her to give it to Tang Yinyu.

Tang Yinyu glanced at it and rejected it coldly.

"Don't bother, I still have things to do."

Xiao Yun'er bit her red lips and looked at Tang Yinyu aggrievedly, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.

After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Since the emperor is busy, I will not disturb you."

"Ah."

"Your Majesty, walk slowly."

Tang Yinyu nodded slightly and walked straight towards the imperial garden.

Xiao Yun'er looked at his resolute back, with a cold arc at the corner of her mouth.

Oh, did he think he could escape? She would definitely make him change his mind and fall in love with her!

Xiao Yun'er sent someone to report to the Cining Palace and the Empress Dowager.

Suddenly, a breeze blew on her face, ruffling the black hair by her ears. She raised her right hand and gently stroked the black hair that was ruffled by the wind, with a charming smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother lets you in." The eunuch's sharp voice came.

"Yeah." Xiao Yun'er nodded, lifted her skirt, and slowly stepped into the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, her face pale and her expression dazed.

"Mother." Xiao Yun'er quickly walked forward, squatted in front of the Queen Mother, held her dry and thin hands, and shouted worriedly: "Mother, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Xiao Yun'er, shook her head slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

"But..." Xiao Yun'er hesitated to speak.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Silly child, I just have an old illness. I will recover after a few days of rest."

"Really?" Xiao Yun'er was skeptical.

"Of course it's true. I can't lie to anyone but you." The Queen Mother pretended to be angry and glared at Xiao Yun'er.

Xiao Yun'er immediately showed a flattering smile and hugged the Queen Mother: "Mother, I'm glad you're okay."

Hearing these words, a warm feeling passed through the Queen Mother's heart.

Although she was indeed sick, her condition was not too serious. She pretended to be dying just to take this opportunity to test Tang Yinyu.

Her trick really worked. Tang Yinyu came to visit her in person, and he didn't even say that he had to make Chu Yuqin the queen.

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.

This time, she would never allow anyone to destroy her son's happiness.

The two of them exchanged polite words, and Xiao Yuner asked again: "Mother, has the emperor said how to deal with Aunt Li?"

In fact, Xiao Yun'er didn't have much feelings for Li Wanling.

Xiao Yun'er doesn't care whether Li Wanling lives or dies.

What she cares about is Tang Yiren.

Although Xiao Yun'er was very angry about Tang Yiren and Li Wanling's affair, she still needed Tang Yiren's help after all. No matter what, she had to protect Tang Yiren's reputation and prevent others from accusing him of being ungrateful, and she must not let him be suppressed because of this.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "The Emperor will not let me handle this matter. He wants to handle it impartially."

"Handle it impartially?" Xiao Yun'er frowned: "Then what is the emperor going to do?"

"I don't know either."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuner frowned and said, "Mother, no matter what, Aunt Li was raised by me. Although she has done something wrong to the Xiao family, I still hope that you can ask the Emperor to let her go."

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "If the Emperor had listened to my advice, he would have let Li go long ago. There would be no chance for you to plead for her."

Xiao Yun'er lowered her head and said nothing, obviously knowing that Tang Yinyu would not agree easily.

But what else could she do except ask the Queen Mother for help?

Tang Yinyu simply ignored her.

When Xiao Yun'er was feeling extremely worried, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke up: "Yun'er, please sit down first."

Xiao Yun'er obediently sat next to the Queen Mother.

"Yun'er, how have you been getting along with the emperor during this period?"

As soon as this question was brought up, Xiao Yun's face turned gloomy.

What else?

Now the emperor's mind is all on that bitch Chu Yuqin, and he completely ignores her.

"Mother, I haven't seen the emperor for a long time." Xiao Yun'er pouted aggrievedly: "Moreover, recently, the emperor has been accompanying Chu Yuqin and ignored me."

A trace of disgust flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes: "Who is Chu Yuqin? Is she worthy of the Emperor's company every day?"

Xiao Yun'er pursed her lips and said, "But the emperor likes her."

"The emperor is just temporarily infatuated with Chu Yuqin."

After a pause, the Queen Mother continued, "Besides, you are the Imperial Concubine, and the Emperor will return to you sooner or later."

"But..." Xiao Yun'er hesitated to speak.

The Queen Mother understood what Xiao Yun'er meant, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Yun'er, relax, don't worry, the emperor is just confused for a moment, when he calms down, he will come back to you."

However, when she thought of her beloved son who was still obsessed with Chu Yuqin, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Mother, do you really think so?" Xiao Yun'er blinked in disbelief.

She always felt that the Queen Mother's tone was not as firm as usual.

Xiao Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the empress dowager was still willing to help her, that would be fine.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I believe in the Emperor. He will definitely come back to you."
