"what?"

Chun Ning instantly perked up.

Just as Qin Yaoguang was about to speak, Empress Xie's personal maid came outside the carriage and said respectfully, "Your Highness Princess Chang, Your Highness Princess Chunning, the Empress invites you two into the palace."

After entering the palace gate and changing to the palace's sedan chair, the two soon arrived at Queen Xie's Fengyang Palace.

As soon as she entered the room, Qin Yaoguang immediately put on a sad face. After greeting her, she said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty, it's lunch time now. I really don't want to disturb you. This matter needs the Queen's decision!"

"How can a princess of our royal family let a mere prince consort trample on her face!"

Chun Ning was stunned.

She obviously hadn't figured out how her sister, who had originally looked so calm, could change her expression so quickly.

Qin Yaoguang, under the cover of her wide sleeves, pinched her thigh hard, pulled her along, and threw herself in front of Queen Xie, bowing deeply.

Chun Ning was in so much pain that tears came out. She immediately got into the mood and choked up, "Please, Queen, make the decision."

Queen Xie was stunned.

Then, a secret sense of pride arose in my heart.

The two people kneeling in front of her and begging her to make the decision were her elder sister and sister-in-law from her husband's family. They were of the same generation and had the same noble status.

Even though she was the queen, she couldn't let these two people kneel to her.

This scene greatly satisfied her vanity.

"Hey what is this for?"

Empress Xie suppressed a smile on her lips, took two quick steps towards them, helped them up, and said, "Don't be like this, we are all family. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

"Thank you, Queen."

Qin Yaoguang reached out to wipe away her non-existent tears, then stood up with the help of Queen Xie, and pulled Chun Ning up with her.

She is not a masochist, so who wants to kneel down?

If it weren't for satisfying Empress Xie's vanity and being willing to do things for her, she wouldn't have liked to act out this drama.

Queen Xie granted them a seat. After they sat down, Chunning covered her face with silk. Qin Yaoguang quickly recounted what had happened in Princess Chunning's mansion.

"Ah, is this true?!"

Empress Xie pretended to have just learned about it and said in surprise, "That's too much!"

Qin Yaoguang rolled his eyes in his heart and thought to himself: You are quite good at acting. Don’t tell me it took you so long to call us in. You didn’t have time to find out the news?

"We two sisters originally planned to ask the emperor for help..." Qin Yaoguang said.

"No, absolutely not!"

Queen Xie was startled and hurried to stop him.

There are so many families trapped in there. If we go to Wende Hall and make a scene, there will be no way out.

"So, I'm here to see you, my lady."

Qin Yaoguang said, praising her again, "Your Majesty is the mother of the country, and a role model for women in our royal family. Chunning has been bullied like this, so she has no choice but to ask you for help."

"Tell me, how could Lu Yi do such a thing? Once the news gets out, where will the dignity of us royal women be?"

In a word, Empress Xie was tied to the same boat.

She married the emperor and was truly a member of the royal family.

"By then, everyone in the capital will say that it is because we cannot control our husbands that they are attached to other women and do not like their legal wives."

In one sentence, Empress Xie was dragged to the bottom of the abyss.

The emperor only has Concubine Jing in his heart, and she is the eternal pain in Empress Xie's heart.

Isn't this what she is talking about?!

No, we must not give anyone a chance to criticize us.

Empress Xie took two deep breaths and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how do you want me to make the decision for you?"

She showed off her queen style, so Qin Yaoguang naturally didn't bother to be polite with her. She said, "Princess Chunning's husband, Lu Yi, was personally selected by the Queen Mother. His talent, learning and character are both first-rate."

When these words came out, Empress Xie and Chun Ning were both stunned, not understanding why she suddenly praised Lu Yi.

Qin Yaoguang continued, "The prince consort must have been corrupted by those people, which is why Chun Ning is so sad."

She said in hatred, "I will not let any of those people go!"

When Chun Ning heard this, she suddenly had a sudden inspiration and cried, "My Queen, you must not let them go. This is all their fault."

Even though she knew in her heart that the root of the trouble was Lu Yi.

But since she still wants to live with Lu Yi, she has to put the blame on others.

Qin Yaoguang said: "I have someone put them under guard on the spot, and I also ask the Queen to send people to their homes and ask them to come to Princess Chunning's home to redeem them."

"Ransom?"

After the initial surprise, Empress Xie thought carefully for a while and decided that this was indeed an appropriate approach.

It would not make the royal scandal known to the whole city, it would also warn each family, and at the same time it would allow Princess Chunning to get rid of the anger in her heart.

When Empress Xie thought about the fact that the Lu family had asked Chun Ning to ask the Empress Dowager for an official position, she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Want to bypass our Xie family?

Didn’t this still happen?

Seeing Queen Xie's expression change slightly, Qin Yaoguang knew that Queen Xie was very happy.

Although she is not talented in winning people's hearts, she has relied on this ability to become the sales champion for three years and climbed to the position of president of the Asia-Pacific region.

"How do you redeem it?" asked Queen Xie.

Chun Ning also looked at her and thought this idea was great.

In this way, wouldn't it be like offending Lu Yi's entire social circle? It also serves as a warning to others. Who would dare to play with Lu Yi in the future?

If you're not careful, the Queen Mother will find evidence against you and come to the palace to demand a ransom.

Chun Ning suddenly found that his brain had become much smarter, and at least he could understand the emperor's sister's intention.

Although it was Chun Ning who encountered this incident, Qin Yaoguang now firmly controlled the initiative and things were developing in the direction she wanted.

"The method of redeeming people must naturally be based on their rank and cannot be generalized."

Qin Yaoguang's true intentions were exposed, and she said calmly, "The Jiuqing family must be redeemed with five hundred taels of gold, in order to relieve the hatred in my two sisters' hearts!"

"Five hundred taels of gold?"

Queen Xie cried out in shock.

She thought that Qin Yaoguang's ransom offer was mainly a warning, and as for the specific ransom, it was just a gesture and he didn't really want it.

"The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are important officials of the imperial court. As the ancients said, 'If you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world?' If he can't even teach his own children and grandchildren, then I will teach them for him!"

Qin Yaoguang spoke with the same aura as she did at the board meeting, and said in a deep voice, "I will help him educate his son. Is five hundred taels of gold too much?"

Frightened by her aura, Queen Xie's breathing paused.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the past, when she first met the late emperor.

At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill and could not get up.

When she, the designated Crown Princess, was summoned, even a glance from her when she was sick made her feel awe-inspiring.

Queen Xie's fingers curled up quietly.
