The queen was taken away, and Concubine Shen accompanied the emperor to leave Fenghe Palace with satisfaction.

This sudden change made Jiang Qingwu's heart confused, especially when he saw Xu Qingran coming out of the inner hall.

I almost forgot about her.

She seldom came to the palace, and even less often came to the Empress Dowager's place, so she actually forgot that Xu Qingran was still here.

Xu Qingran was followed by a palace maid, who walked hurriedly towards Yan Xiuchen and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has woken up and is fine for the time being. She said she wants to see you."

Yan Xiuchen didn't seem surprised at all. He nodded at Xu Qingran and then entered the inner hall.

Jiang Qingwu felt a little depressed, but he still followed Yan Xiuchen into the inner hall.

The Queen Mother looked sick, her face was pale, and she spoke weakly.

"Today, I am grateful to Qing Ran. Fortunately, she is a skilled doctor and brought me... the miraculous medicine from home."

When Jiang Qingwu heard the Queen Mother's words, he finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the Queen Mother was saved by Xu Qingran.

"Yes, the king will reward her." Yan Xiuchen whispered in agreement while sitting beside the bed.

The Queen Mother nodded and took Yan Xiuchen's hand again, "You only have one princess, I'm afraid it won't work..."

"I will not stop you from marrying Jiang Qingwu. I want you to... marry Xu Qingran into the mansion."

"She's a good girl."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened and he closed his eyes helplessly.

This woman is really capable. The Queen Mother took her away from the palace to help Yan Xiuchen.

Now, she is going to be sent back again.

"Queen Mother, are you confused?" Yan Xiuchen's face darkened and his voice became much colder.

The Queen Mother sighed and murmured in a low voice, "Of course not. This girl has been by my side for many days, and I really think she is good."

"As a prince, you can't just be a princess."

Jiang Qingwu felt annoyed and suffocated, so he turned around and strode out of the inner hall.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the main hall, Xu Qingran followed him out.

"Sister..." Xu Qingran shouted, and then blocked her way.

"Greetings to my sister." Xu Qingran bowed to her respectfully.

Jiang Qingwu's face changed immediately, and when he thought of the Queen Mother's words just now, he didn't have a good tone.

"I can't bear to be called your sister."

Xu Qingran was calm and immediately changed the topic, "Miss Jiang..."

"Miss, you are right. I am not married yet, and I am not married yet. It is inappropriate to call you that."

Without waiting for Jiang Qingwu to speak, Xu Qingran stood up on his own, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"We can see each other every day in the future, so there is no need to rush now."

The sight of him kneeling at her feet begging for mercy seemed like it was just yesterday, yet now he can be so smug.

"It seems that the Queen Mother treats you well." Jiang Qingwu said lightly and sat aside.

Xu Qingran actually followed without any hesitation and sat beside Jiang Qingwu on an equal footing.

"After all, I have a life-saving bond with Your Highness, so Your Highness will certainly not let the Queen Mother treat me badly."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated the young lady and His Highness on their upcoming marriage."

"The Queen Mother said earlier that she would arrange for me to enter the palace after the girl gets married. I am also looking forward to the girl getting married soon."

"If the girl doesn't marry, I don't know how long I will have to wait."

Jiang Qingwu's face turned gloomy. Although this matter was not worth getting angry about, he also knew that the Queen Mother had no say.

But this arrogant and complacent face is really unbearable.

Just as he was about to speak, Wanyue beside him couldn't help but speak.

"You call yourself a slave, yet you dare to be on an equal footing with our girl. Who gave you the courage?"

Hearing Wanyue's words, Xu Qingran stood up suddenly, looking frightened.

"I know I was wrong. I didn't know how to behave and angered Miss Jiang. Miss, you must forgive me."

Having said that, Xu Qingran stood up and went to the side hall to pour a cup of tea.

But while pouring tea, he quietly winked at the palace maid in the corner.

He then brought out the tea and knelt down in front of Jiang Qingwu.

"Miss, I will pour you some tea to apologize. Please, my lady, please be magnanimous and don't take it too seriously."

Haha, originally she believed in Xu Qingran.

Those words in the palace really moved her.

She saved Yan Xiuchen and took care of him, but when she arrived in the capital, she was plotted against by Gu Yanbai because of Yan Xiuchen.

She is a victim and is innocent.

She believed it.

But now, she was not staying at the Queen Mother's side peacefully.

The empress dowager was so fond of her that she was sent back to the palace at her request.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Xu Qingran in front of him with a sharp gaze and sneered.

"It's no use for you to act with me."

Jiang Qingwu stood up and walked towards Xu Qingran, "Although I have never seen the fights between the women in the back house, you can't fool me."

"I now suspect that your intentions are impure and your mind is treacherous, and you are a knife in the hands of others."

"Don't worry, I'm here. You can't enter Yan Xiuchen's backyard."

Xu Qingran raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes instantly became sharper.

"You know a woman's mind like a fire, but you should know that a man's mind is also fickle."

As Xu Qingran was speaking, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and threw the teacup in his hand onto himself.

"Ah..." Xu Qingran screamed in shock, and the piercing cry also startled Jiang Qingwu.

Upon seeing this, Wanyue stepped forward immediately, but before she reached him, Xu Qingran grabbed Jiang Qingwu's ankle and knelt on the ground.

"Miss, I dare not do it again. I was wrong. Please don't hurt my family."

"I will stay away from Your Highness from now on..."

Xu Qingran cried and begged for mercy, grabbing Jiang Qingwu's ankles and kowtowed repeatedly.

When Jiang Qingwu was confused, Yan Xiuchen suddenly walked over quickly.

"So I'm in love..."

Jiang Qingwu's head buzzed and he suddenly understood something.

Xu Qingran quietly loosened her hand that was holding her ankle, and knelt on the ground, sobbing softly, looking pitiful and humble.

Looking at the overturned teacup, Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu hurriedly, "Are you okay... Are you burned?"

"It's okay." Jiang Qingwu whispered, looking down at Xu Qingran, and also noticed her hands lying on the ground.

The back of her hands were all red; the cup of tea must have burned her.

"Please have mercy, Your Highness. It was me who didn't know my limits and called her sister. It was me who annoyed the girl."

Xu Qingran still refused to calm down, crying and begging, lowering her head and acting again and again.

"This was done by me alone. Please don't hurt my family..."

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, then took her hand and wrote something on her palm while speaking in a low voice.

"How could you do this to her? After all, she saved the Queen Mother and is my savior."

"She didn't do anything wrong. You will be my princess in the future, so you should be more generous and stop arguing with her about everything."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Yan Xiuchen's words, but his eyes were always on the palm of his hand.

Looking at the words Yan Xiuchen wrote on his palm, he was surprised, but also understood something instantly.

"I care? Humph..." Jiang Qingwu shouted, and suddenly pulled back his hand, "Yan Xiuchen, which eye of yours saw me care?"

"You said you wouldn't take a concubine. Have you already promised the Queen Mother?"

"She's not wrong, she's not wrong? I'm wrong, okay, just marry her."

Jiang Qingwu's outbursts continued, each one louder than the last, and then he turned around and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen hurriedly followed him out, "Gu Qing, where are you going?"

"Don't follow me. Your Highness asked me to investigate the poisoning, so I will naturally investigate the case."
