Chen Jiayu knelt down again in a hurry, hesitating, "Mother, I, your son, have mentioned to your husband about rescuing your mother and returning to the court. Your husband said he would find a way, your son, has tried his best..."

Su Jinyi snorted and laughed, "What a joke! I'm only staying at the Nanshan Palace for a short stay. How can I say 'rescue'? The bad habit of gossiping in the palace really needs to be cured. If I knew who spread this rumor outside, I would definitely pull out her tongue!"

Chen Jiayu was so frightened that sweat oozed from his forehead. He could only reply, "Yes, it was my fault. I believed what others said."

Su Jinyi took a deep breath, smoothed the handkerchief in her hand, and said lazily, "Get up. I told you to take care of yourself. You kneel down all the time. If anything happens to the child, the prince consort will be very sad."

Chen Jiayu looked at Su Jinyi with a puzzled look on her face: "Mother...are you...are you okay?"

Su Jinyi got straight to the point and asked, "Jiayu, how does the Queen Mother treat you?"

Chen Jiayu trembled and said, "My mother's kindness to Jiayu is as heavy as a mountain."

Su Jinyi: "Since it's my own child, I'll just tell you directly."

She turned around, took out a paper bag from the cabinet and handed it to Chen Jiayu, saying, "I have something to tell you."

"The packet in your hand is poison."

Chen Jiayu was shocked, her fingers trembled, and the medicine bag fell to the ground.

She hurriedly picked up the medicine bag, held it tightly in her hand, and asked in horror: "Mother... I... I can't die yet."

Su Jinyi snorted and laughed, and comforted her softly, "Silly child, how could your mother let her own child die?"

Chen Jiayu: "Then...then this..."

Su Jinyi said: "Don't worry, this medicine is not a poison that will kill you. It will just make you less energetic for two days."

Chen Jiayu looked at the Queen Mother in bewilderment: "I don't quite understand... Mother, what do you want to...?"

The Queen Mother had a worried look on her face and continued to play it safe: "What else can I want to do? Of course I want to settle all of you children down."

She stood up from the warm seat, walked down, and continued: "Everything I did was for Your Majesty? Your Majesty was young, listened to the slander of villains, ignored state affairs, and went to the Office all day long."

She frowned tightly, took Chen Jiayu's hand and said, "We are an orphan and a widow, and we have been bullied and schemed by others. If this continues, our Chen Kingdom will be in danger!"

Chen Jiayu: "But... I am just a woman, what does my mother want me to do..."

She raised her head and met Su Jinyi's fierce gaze.

Su Jinyi lowered her voice and said, "Give this medicine to Duan Xingchen. In order to protect His Majesty's kingdom, have him put the medicine in the wine glass of Regent Chen Yun."

Chen Jiayu's legs suddenly felt weak and Su Jinyi supported her.

"Queen Mother, I don't have a close relationship with Duan Xingchen. Why would he listen to me and go..."

Su Jinyi stroked her hand gently, lowered her eyes and said, "At the Yuhu family banquet that year, I heard that you two were hugging each other, your whole bodies wet... Since then, Duan Xingchen and you have been visiting frequently..."

Chen Jiayu suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Jiayue closely.

Chen Jiayue felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and her eyes dodged as she asked, "Why are you staring at me? Naturally, everything in this palace cannot be hidden from my mother."

Chen Jiayu hurriedly explained to the Queen Mother: "Mother, that day, I was playing around and fell into the water."

"Commander Duan saved me. I was afraid of being scolded, so I asked Commander Duan to help me conceal it..."

"Other... nothing else..."

Su Jinyi giggled: "My mother was also your age, and she had nothing? Didn't she have a first love?"

Chen Jiayu: ...

Su Jinyi stroked her armor and said, "I will not let anything that I can suppress for you spread out. I will not let it affect your relationship with your husband."

"But you need to remember that the glory of me and His Majesty is naturally the glory of you and the fetus in your belly."

Chen Jiayu clutched the medicine bag and said in a low voice: "But mother...if this matter is discovered, it will be a capital crime..."

Su Jinyi snorted: "If you don't take action, when he overthrows this dynasty, we will all be the remnants of the previous dynasty and will still have no chance of survival!"

Chen Jiayu knew that she couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed with trembling eyes.

The Queen Mother's cruel eyes showed a little tenderness again, and she continued:

"Since you got married, you have moved out of the palace and I rarely see you. I miss you so much. Now that you are back in the palace, please stay here for a few days. I will let the imperial physician check your pulse and take care of your pregnancy."

Then, without giving Chen Jiayu a chance to argue, he shouted outside the door: "Someone, come! Go to the princess's mansion and tell them that the princess is staying in my palace these days and will not be returning."

Chen Jiayu frowned and lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

After Chen Jiayu was taken to the side hall to rest, Chen Jiayue asked worriedly, "Mother, is this possible? What if Duan Xingchen doesn't want to..."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "What else can I do if it doesn't work? Should I rely on you? Or should I rely on Su Xiaoman?"

Then he snorted and continued, "I have told you long ago that a little impatience can ruin a great plan! What about you? I am not here, and you are in this palace, stirring up any storm or making any waves! What is the result? Nothing is accomplished! At this point, there is not even a single person around you who can get close to Chen Yun!"

Chen Jiayue knew she was in the wrong, but she still defended herself in a low voice: "If it weren't for me, how could the Queen Mother see Su Xiaoman's true face so clearly."

Su Jinyi slammed the table and said angrily, "You still don't repent?!"

Chen Jiayue quickly stepped forward and took the Queen Mother's arm: "Mother, I know I was wrong. I was just worried that if Chen Jiayu couldn't accomplish this, the truth would be revealed and it would implicate us..."

There was a sly look in the Queen Mother's eyes. "She was resentful because her husband's military power was taken away, so she went to find her old lover to stand up for herself. What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Jiayue suddenly understood and a smile appeared on her face: "Yes, what mother said is absolutely right."

After returning from Ninghua Palace, Su Xiaoman, leaning on the rocking chair, received a new moral value order:

[Ding Ding, you have a new moral value order, please check it~]

[Keywords for the new moral task: Return the favor of the 180cm handsome guy. Host, do you want to accept this moral order?]

[Repaying the favor of the 180cm handsome guy? Zero one zero, what does this mean? ]

Lingyaoling stared at her innocent eyes and said: [My dear host, have you forgotten the 180cm handsome guy? ]

Su Xiaoman recalled seriously: [Are you talking about my husband? My husband is more than 180cm tall...]
