Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

This was the first time that the emperor asked his subjects to go to the Qianqing Palace after court.

Everyone looked at Mu Shaochen with different eyes.

Especially Helian Qi, his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Mu Shaochen.

There is reluctance, but also a hint of murderous intent.

Just as Helian Sitian said, if Mu Shaochen really cannot be used by him, then he can never be used by Helian Chen.

If he insists on having his own way, we have to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Palace of Heavenly Purity

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Mu Shaochen bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Well, no need to be polite." The emperor waved his hand at him, "Please make peace. Please take a seat."

"Yes!" Qiuhe quickly brought a chair to Mu Shaochen.

"I'll just stand here." Mu Shaochen said tremblingly.

How dare he sit down in front of the emperor?

"I would like to hear your opinion on the incident at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion the day before yesterday." The emperor pointed to the chair and motioned for him to sit down.

Eunuch Qiuhe also brought him a cup of tea, "Prince Mu, please have some tea."

Seeing this, Mu Shaochen became even more uneasy.

The emperor asked him about what happened at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion the day before, and he asked the eunuch to serve him tea again.

Asking for help from the father-in-law?!

Mu Shaochen suddenly thought of something.

But this was not the time to think about it, so he quickly thanked her, "Thank you, sir."

Eunuch Qiuhe withdrew, and only the emperor and his minister were left in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday..."

……

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother also learned about the affairs of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

"It's obvious that this is the Queen's doing." The Queen Mother said with disdain, "But I just can't figure out what the Queen meant by this."

Eunuch Wei came hurriedly, "Queen Dowager, I heard that the Queen has summoned Princess Mu to the palace."

"What?!" The Queen Mother was shocked. "Miao Miao is pregnant now, why did she summon someone to the palace? Quick, accompany me to the Pepper Room."

Accompanied by Nanny Liu and Eunuch Wei, the Queen Mother hurried towards the Pepper Palace.

……

Pepper House

Xu Zhimiao was summoned to the palace alone, without anyone accompanying her, not even a personal maid.

This made Madam Mu and others extremely anxious.

What should they do? Miaomiao is pregnant, and the queen has ill intentions towards her. If something happens in the palace, they will have no one to talk to!

She also forbade anyone to enter the palace, not even maids, which was clearly disadvantageous to Miaomiao.

The only thing Madam Mu could think of was to ask the Queen Mother for help.

And Madam Xi, the Marquis, thought of Concubine Yue.

But after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it, they still felt that the Queen Mother would be more useful. After all, Concubine Yue was not favored by the emperor, and the Queen Mother was the emperor's biological mother.

And it seems that he now has some opinions about the Queen.

The old lady quickly sent someone to Shoukang Palace for help.

"Wei Tian, ​​hurry to the Qianqing Palace and tell the emperor. Ask the emperor to come to the Jiaofang Palace. If something happens to Miaomiao, it would be... a big deal!" The empress dowager said anxiously.

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Eunuch Wei replied.

Miaomiao cannot have any accidents. If the Queen dares to do anything bad to Miaomiao, she will not forgive her.

……

Pepper House

"Your Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xu Zhimiao bowed respectfully to the Queen and Helian Sitian.

At this moment, the Queen and Helian Sitian had just finished their breakfast, and the palace servants were still returning the food plates.

Seeing Xu Zhimiao, who was alone, the queen raised a satisfied arc at the corner of her lips.

"No need to be so polite, An Dehai, please give a seat to Madam Mu," the Queen said gently.

"Yes." Eunuch An asked someone to bring a chair to Xu Zhimiao, "Madam Mu, please take a seat."

"Your Majesty, the Queen, is grateful for her kindness." Xu Zhimiao thanked her respectfully again.

Then, Eunuch An came over with a cup of tea. "Madam Mu, please have some tea. This is the best tribute tea given to you by the Emperor. In the entire harem, only our Pepper Room has it."

"Her Majesty is particularly fond of the Crown Prince's wife, and she specially asked me to make a cup for her."

Xu Zhimiao hadn't even sat down yet, so she quickly bent over to take the tea and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness."

[Fuck you! I'd be crazy if I believed you! If you say there's nothing special in this tea, I'll kill you!]

Xu Zhimiao was so angry that he even brought out the national quintessence.

[You asked me to come to the meeting alone, and as soon as I arrived, you gave me a cup of imperial tea. Do you want my life or my child's life? ]

[What does the Queen want to do? ]

Xu Zhimiao really couldn't understand.

I really want to pour this cup of tea into the mouths of the mother and daughter.

But she didn't dare! After all, this was the era of imperial power, not the era of office workers she had lived in before.

Even in the era of social animals, people still treat people differently! Using an egg to hit a rock would not work in the era of social animals, let alone in this era of imperial power.

Xu Zhimiao just held the teacup, deep in thought.

"Xu Zhimiao, why don't you drink it?" Seeing that she had no intention of drinking it, Helian Sitian's cold voice sounded, "Why, do you disagree with my mother? Or do you think that the tea given by my father is not to your liking?"

Xu Zhimiao came back to his senses, bowed respectfully to the queen and her daughter, and said slowly, "Princess..."

"The Queen Mother is here--!" The loud voice of Nanny Liu came from outside.

Originally, this job should have been done by Eunuch Wei, but since Eunuch Wei had gone to invite the emperor, it had to be done by Madam Liu.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Queen and Helian Sitian, mother and daughter, darkened slightly.

Both of them looked unhappy, and seemed to dislike the Queen Mother, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.

This annoying old thing, why is she so annoying! Is she involved in everything?

You are already old, why haven’t you died yet?

The Queen Mother stepped forward.

"Greetings, Queen Mother." Everyone bowed to the Queen Mother.

Then, Nanny Liu bowed to the Queen and Helian Sitian.

"Yeah," the Queen Mother replied calmly, then revealed a pleasantly surprised smile, "Ah, why is Miao Miao here?"

"I heard that the emperor had untied the queen's feet, so I came to see her. I didn't expect that Miaomiao was here too! Why, are you here to pay your respects to the queen?"

The Queen Mother looked at Xu Zhimiao cheerfully, and naturally took the teacup from her hand and handed it to Aunt Liu, then held her hand affectionately, "Girl, you haven't been to my Shoukang Palace for a long time."

"I haven't seen you and Nian'an, I miss you so much! Come with me to Shoukang Palace later. I like chatting with you."

"Huh? Didn't girl Nian'an come with you?" The Queen Mother looked around, looking for Mu Nian'an.

Seeing the Queen Mother's intimate actions with Xu Zhimiao, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Queen's eyes.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen allowed only me to enter the palace. That's why Nian'an didn't come with you." Xu Zhimiao answered seriously.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown, "Only you were summoned to the palace? How come I didn't know when the Queen and Miaomiao girl became so close?"

He turned his head and stared straight at the queen, with an obvious questioning tone in his voice.
