Yuqiongyin

Hearing the Queen Mother's tone, Wei Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Queen Mother was angry.

He bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Mother, please calm down! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The Queen Mother ignored him and gently stroked the black cat in her arms, with a cold look in her eyes.

Wei Ming was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and he didn't dare to breathe.

After a while, the Queen Mother finally spoke, but her voice was still cold.

"My son, I have long told you that if you want to completely conquer a woman, you must completely possess her body and mind, and not allow her any room to resist. Otherwise, once she has other intentions, the consequences will be disastrous."

After hearing this, Wei Ming felt a little impatient. He knew that the Queen Mother was right, but every time he saw Xie Chenning, he would think of his beloved. He could only follow the Queen Mother without any status, and he could only visit her once every few days.

If he had been able to gain a firm foothold in the beginning, perhaps there wouldn't be so many troubles now.

But he is powerless to reverse the current situation.

Xie Chenning gradually slipped out of their control, which made the Queen Mother uneasy.

In order to stabilize the current situation, the Queen Mother decided to let Wei Ming and Xie Chenning consummate their marriage so as to better control Xie Chenning and the Xie family behind her.

Seeing that Wei Ming didn't say anything, the Queen Mother continued, "I know everything that happened in the palace these days. Xie Chenning has come to her senses, do you understand? If you don't consummate your marriage with her, can you guarantee that Xie Feisi won't tear her apart when he finds out?"

Wei Ming's face turned gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction in her tone, "My son, what are you thinking about? Don't you know the seriousness of this matter?"

Wei Ming raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger, "Mother, I don't like her!"

His voice was low and firm, revealing the resistance deep in his heart.

Hearing Wei Ming's straightforward answer, the Queen Mother's face darkened instantly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "My prince, you didn't want to consummate your marriage with her, but you didn't even give her the dignity of a queen, so how can you expect the Xie family to be satisfied?"

Wei Ming felt a pain in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on his position, "Mother, I really don't like her. Please don't force me anymore."

The Queen Mother looked at Wei Ming's resolute attitude and sighed in her heart.

She knew that Wei Ming had always been a stubborn person, and if she forced him to do something he didn't want to do, it would only backfire.

"My son." The Queen Mother sighed, "In the past, you didn't want to touch Xie Chenning, and I followed your lead, but this time is different. Xie Feisi must have known your indifference to Xie Chenning. If it goes on any longer, I'm afraid even Xie Feisi will really not be able to resist and take action. By then, both mother and son will be in danger."

Wei Ming's eyes widened as he looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief. "Mother, you actually want me to consummate my marriage with a daughter you don't love?"

The Queen Mother's eyes became sharp, "My son, which is more important, your beloved or your throne? Don't you understand this principle?"

Wei Ming's face became increasingly gloomy. He pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.

The Queen Mother gently patted Wei Ming's shoulder and said earnestly: "My son, you must face reality. Xie Chenning is the daughter of the Xie family, and she has powerful support behind her. Only by satisfying her and the Xie family behind her can we keep our current status and power."

Wei Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He opened his mouth slowly, his voice a little hoarse, "Mother, I understand. I will consider your suggestion." There was helplessness and struggle in his words.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, a look of relief flashing in her eyes.

She looked at her son, her heart filled with desire for power.

The Queen Mother's voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

"Now Xie Chenning has gradually escaped our control, and the situation is becoming increasingly serious. Therefore, my son, you need to be patient tonight and go to Kunning Palace..."

However, before the Queen Mother finished her words, Wei Ming angrily interrupted her: "Mother, please forgive me for not being able to obey your order! It is really difficult for me to do so!"

He clenched his fists, frowned, and his face was full of determination.

In his heart, he is committed to someone and obsessed with love.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned pale. She took a deep breath and said, trying to suppress her anger: "I have tried my best to persuade you for so long, don't you listen to a word I say?"

Wei Ming stood there stubbornly, motionless. In his heart, there was only that girl.

He couldn't imagine himself doing something like that against his will and touching that woman Xie Chenning.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the sachet on his waist. It was a gift from the person he loved and was his treasure.

There was a sly calculation in the Queen Mother's eyes, and her tone was cold and firm: "After tonight, I will arrange for you to meet Mu Ni."

Wei Ming stared at the Queen Mother with eyes wide open in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mother, how could you do this?!"

He never thought that his mother would use Mu Ni to threaten him.

Mu Ni, that kind and innocent woman, is a touch of warmth in his heart.

"Just tell me, are you willing or not?"

Wei Ming could only nod.

The palace door opened, and the Queen Mother ordered people to make arrangements with a normal expression.

Let the Queen prepare to sleep with you tonight.

Wei Ming was in great pain when he left the Cining Palace.

He didn't want to consummate his marriage with Xie Chenning, nor did he want Mu Ni to get hurt. He was in deep conflict, not knowing what to do.

He paced back and forth in the palace, unable to calm the restlessness in his heart.

Just as Wei Ming fell into deep thought, a figure quietly appeared behind him.

He turned around and saw Mu Ni. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including anger, helplessness, and a hint of expectation.

When Wei Ming saw her like this, his heart suddenly tightened and he didn't know how to face her.

Mu Ni looked at Wei Ming and said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to follow the Queen Mother's arrangements?"

There was a tremor in her voice, and it was obvious that she was also afraid.

Wei Ming was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Ni'er, I will not listen to the Queen Mother's arrangement. The person I love is you, I will not do anything to hurt you, nor will I let you get hurt."

A hint of emotion flashed across Mu Ni's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Your Majesty, do you know what the consequences will be if the Xie family finds out about this? Ni'er thought about it for a long time and decided to let Your Majesty go."

Wei Ming frowned slightly. Seeing Mu Ni's sad face, he felt extremely distressed.

"Ni'er, for you, I am willing to bear all the consequences. I can't lose you."

He held Mu Ni's hand tightly, as if he was holding the whole world.

"His Majesty…"
