The queen picked up a teacup at hand and smashed it on Xu's head. Blood flowed from Xu's head, dripping onto the ground and onto her silk shirt.

The blood was blinding, but Xu dared not move.

"I originally thought you were obedient and smart, but I didn't expect that after all these years, you are still short-sighted. In front of Xie Anfeng, you didn't even learn a single bit of his essence."

Xu desperately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

The Queen's voice was cold and murderous: "Xu Yingrong, because of you, the Wei family's secret guard base was completely destroyed; because of you, my brother died young; because of you, my most promising nephew's legs are not able to walk well..."

Wei Shixun was the first candidate of the Wei family's generation to succeed Duke Cheng'en and stabilize the court. He was the successor to the patriarch of the Wei family and the most strategic descendant, but he was ruined just like that.

"Xu Yingrong, even if you die a thousand times, it will not be enough to pay off your debt. I will not let go of your relatives, your three biological children, your aunt, and your brother!"

Xu begged desperately: "Your Majesty, please forgive them. I will do anything you ask me to do, even if it means death."

"I originally wanted to kill you directly, and make public the fact that you killed Xie Anfeng's original wife and drugged Concubine Xi. I wanted to grind your bones and scatter your ashes without a burial place, and let your children and descendants have a bad end...

However, Concubine Xie is pregnant, and I don’t want her to be frightened or the emperor’s grandson will die.

As long as you complete the task assigned by me, I can spare your children's lives. I also promise you that after you complete the task, whether Concubine Xie's baby is a boy or a girl, I will make her the queen."

Xu cried bitterly. As long as Tingting could become the queen, Xie Xiangxiang and Xie Jin would have someone to rely on.

"Please tell me, Queen, I will go through fire and water and will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Get rid of the entire Xie family, the entire Bo family, especially Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao! If you want people, medicine, or money, just ask. Be sure to kill them!"

The queen gnashed her teeth and said, "Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao faked their own deaths, deceived the Wei family, and destroyed the Wei family's foundation.

Gu Boyu died, but Gu Shaoyu actually caused the prince to be confined to his house, and all the confidants in the mansion were killed. Now, the prince's mansion is full of good and bad people, and His Majesty's spies are everywhere.

Xie Anfeng and his gang took advantage of this opportunity to massacre the court inside and outside, killing or replacing the confidants that my father and brothers had cultivated for many years, eliminating more than half of the prince's reliance.

How can such hatred not be avenged? "

Xu said tremblingly, "Master Xie should not take advantage of the prince's misfortune. Concubine Xie is his biological daughter after all. The prince's honor and disgrace are one with the Xie family. Did the queen misunderstand?"

When the Queen heard this, she threw another teacup at her. Xu endured the pain and did not cry out.

"Idiot, you and he have three children, and you think you are equal to him?

Xie Anfeng is the patriarch of the Xie family. He only has the whole family in his heart. Your three children are just a burden to you and are no pressure to him at all.

He and the prince are on the same page? All the pigs in the world laughed! Only a fool like you would think that he would treat your three children and the two born to Xu Zhiyan equally! "

Xu was resentful in her heart, but her face was even more terrified: "I dare not disobey the queen, but just now I came out of Xie's house, and my mother-in-law asked me to go back to the temple to reflect on my mistakes. I am afraid it is difficult to do it."

"You are the most suitable person to kill them! You are Madam Xie and Xie Zhaozhao's stepmother. You are in a unique position to kill them. Just go ahead and seize every opportunity to kill them. I will send you a capable assistant later."

When Xu came out of the Central Palace, her expression had already been put into place and the wound on her head was covered up by the imperial physician.

Jin Ge brought Xie Tingting back. Xu and Xie Tingting left the palace together and got on the carriage. The corners of Xie Tingting's mouth drooped down.

"Mother, what does the Queen want to see you about?"

"Something happened to the Wei family, and the queen is feeling sad. Go talk to mother." Mrs. Xu didn't want Xie Tingting to worry about her. Xie Tingting was pregnant, and she had to keep the baby.

"What's with the scar on your forehead? You didn't have it before you entered the palace."

"Mother accidentally fell down the stairs. The Queen has already asked the imperial physician to treat her. It's not a big deal."

Xu smiled and said, "After you return to the Crown Prince's Mansion, don't tell the other concubines that you are pregnant. Except for Cai Lan and Cai Wei, be careful about what the others bring."

Xie Tingting said obediently: "I have noted it all down. Mother, you must tell me if you have anything to say. One more person to discuss with will always increase your chances of success."

"Your current task is to protect the child and keep both mother and child safe. Don't worry about anything else."

"Mother, since you are a royal wife, you have to fight for your position. I know you are dissatisfied with father and grandmother, but you must maintain a good relationship with them. I need the help of the Xie family and my aunt, and I also need the help of my eldest sister."

If they all support her, she will have a chance of winning even if she goes against Wei Chuchu.

Little did she know that all the help she needed was on her mother's kill list.

When Xu thought of the Queen's words "all the pigs in the world are laughing", she suddenly felt it was very ironic. Someone as vicious as her and as calculating as Tiffany Hsieh were both harboring illusions.

"Tingting, your elder sister will not help you. The crown prince is under house arrest, and most of his confidants have been eliminated. This is all done by Gu Shaoyu."

Xie Tingting pinched her palms and asked, "What does mother want?"

"Just take good care of your baby and wait and see what happens. Don't count on the Xie family and Xie Zhaozhao. They have always been unfair to us mother and son."

Xu used the same tone as before, and harbored the same great malice.

Xie Tingting was very uneasy. She had a child now and was the prince's concubine, so she naturally wanted to fight for it. The only people she could rely on were the Xie family, Concubine Xi, and Xie Zhaozhao. Who else could help her?

Rely on Xie Xiangxiang? Oh, all the pigs in the world are laughing!

Xu couldn't persuade her, so she agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you and try my best to make them all your helpers."

Only then did Xie Tingting curl her lips and said coquettishly: "Mom has been wronged. Thank you, mother, for loving me."

Xu first sent her back to the prince's mansion. Xie Tingting whispered, "Mother, I'll take you back first. The prince is under house arrest. I can't go out normally. This time I come out, I just want to be free for a while."

"If you're not in a hurry to go back, then let's go see your sister together?"

Xie Tingting knew that she was talking about Xie Xiangxiang.

The second sister is extremely stupid. Not only is she not helpful to her, she is simply a burden.

Xie Tingting winked at the personal nanny, who then said sternly, "Your Highness is still under house arrest. The Concubine has been out for too long. It's time for her to go back."

"Mother, I'll go back home first." Xie Tingting smiled helplessly, "I'll ask for permission to visit you later."

Seeing her leave without mercy, Mrs. Xu smiled with relief. Tingting would rather be confined to the house than see her own sister becoming homeless.

It's good to be cruel, it's much better than letting Xie Xiangxiang be eaten until nothing is left.

She did not return to Xie's house, but asked the driver to drive to Yuxiang in Dongcheng District. What she was going to do next was inhumane, and the person she was most worried about was Xie Xiangxiang.

Xie Xiangxiang lived alone in a courtyard. The two maids around her were newly bought for her by Xu. Their names were Liuying and Yingzhu.

Originally, Xie Xiangxiang did not want to divorce and planned to kill Aunt Yue so that she could enjoy the title of Duke's wife alone. Unexpectedly, Aunt Yue died and Gu Chengyan was cremated.

Xie Xiangxiang was completely desperate. Gu Chengyan was dead. What was the meaning of everything?

Before Xu could say anything after entering the room, she suddenly felt dizzy, fell to the ground, and hit her head on the door frame.

The wound that had been covered up by the imperial physician opened again, and blood instantly flowed all over his face.
