The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

After a while, Nanny An came out with six palace maids.

The six palace maids each held a tray in their hands, on which were placed gold, silver, jade, pearls, agates, silks and other items.

When Chu Heyi took a look, he could see that those things were emitting a faint glow, which showed that these objects were of extremely high quality.

The Queen said, "These are the wedding gifts I give to you and Prime Minister Xie. I'll have them delivered to your house."

Chu Heyi was stunned.

The Queen sent her and Xie Lin a wedding gift?

Wedding gift?

She wanted to pinch her thigh to make sure she was dreaming!

While she was distracted, the Queen suddenly walked up to her and looked at her face. "You look like a blessed girl. It is a blessing for Prime Minister Xie to marry you. I am sincerely happy for the two of you. On the day of your wedding, I cannot leave the palace to celebrate in person, so I wish you two a son soon, a happy marriage, and a long life together."

Send them gifts and say blessings? Chu Heyi was extremely surprised. This was even more surprising than if the queen put a knife to her neck and asked her to die right now!

She subconsciously returned the Queen's gaze, studied the Queen's expression, and found that the Queen's expression was sincere. It seemed that she gave gifts and blessings from the heart without any calculation!

But this person is the queen. For the sake of her position as queen and to ensure that the position of crown prince is in her son's hands, she did not hesitate to abandon her biological son Xie Lin. She even wanted to kill her own son after Xie Lin grew up and showed his talent.

Moreover, not long ago, in order to secure her position on the throne and ensure the smooth ascension of her son Dongfang Ye to the throne, this queen wanted to kill the emperor!

How could such a queen sincerely bless her and Xie Lin? How could she really not have any calculations!

The most important thing is that the Queen and Xie Lin have had many life-and-death duels. Although they are mother and son, they have reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

Just imagine, how could such a queen possibly bless her and Xie Lin from the bottom of her heart?

In this short moment, Chu Heyi's mind worked extremely quickly.

After figuring out all the impossibilities behind the Queen, Chu Heyi understood the Queen's purpose in sending the gift.

1: Xie Lin cannot be killed, and the possibility of their mother-son relationship being exposed exists. Both she and Dongfang Ye are in danger, so she takes the opportunity to win over Xie Lin and work together to fight against future risks, or reduce a seed of danger.

Second: To sow discord between her and Xie Lin. She was Xie Lin's fiancée, and knowing that Xie Lin and the Queen were at loggerheads, she still accepted the Queen's wedding gift, which was a betrayal to Xie Lin.

Just imagine, if she and someone were at a life-and-death situation, and Xie Lin, the person closest to her and whom she trusted the most, accepted that person's generous gift, even if she could understand Xie Lin's behavior, she would not be able to accept it, and might even collapse, feeling that Xie Lin had betrayed her.

Therefore, she should stand on the same side as Xie Lin from beginning to end. She should not accept anything Xie Lin refuses, even if the Queen is trying to make peace!

After figuring it out, Chu Heyi immediately stepped back and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness, but the gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

The Queen said, "You are the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the sister of the great general, and the county lady personally appointed by the Emperor. I am afraid that the gift I gave you is too meager and not substantial enough. In this case, I will give you eight more headgear as a gift for your make-up."

Chu Heyi immediately knelt down and said, "I appreciate the Queen's kindness. My parents have prepared enough dowry for me. I know that the Queen loves the people very much. In this case, why don't you exchange these things for silver and donate them to the poor people?"

The lenient and loving expression that Empress Yuan had maintained for a long time began to crack at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Nanny An immediately asked the six palace maids to leave.

The queen stood in front of Chu Heyi, looking down at her condescendingly, with a chill all over her body. It was obvious that she was angry with Chu Heyi.

"Look up and look at me," the queen ordered.

Chu Heyi slowly raised his head and obediently met the queen's gaze.

"I gave you a wedding gift, but you refused to accept it. Are you planning to become my enemy?" the Queen said in a deep voice, the threat clearly implied.

Chu Heyi still knelt on the ground, but answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I dare not. But, I am about to marry Xie Lin and become one with him. If the Queen wants to send us a wedding gift, please send it to Xie's house. If Xie Lin accepts it, I will not dare to refuse it."

The Queen's pupils shrank slightly, and she stared at her for a long while before she gritted her teeth and said, "You actually knew that!"

The Queen did not specify what she knew, but Chu Heyi knew what she was talking about.

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "Xie Lin and I will soon be husband and wife. We are in the same boat. Naturally, there are no secrets between him and me."

Therefore, the Queen thought that she did not know Xie Lin's true identity, and wanted to start with her to deal with Xie Lin, or to win over Xie Lin, which was impossible.

After hearing her words, the queen's eyes showed anger and murderous intent: "You are very brave, Chu Heyi."

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen." Chu Heyi said, "But who wants to be bold? That's risking one's life. The only thing I want to do is to prevent my fiancé from getting hurt, especially not to allow anyone to hurt him through my hands!"

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly. "Since you know everything, you should persuade him to come over to my boat. The Crown Prince, I, and you all will rise and fall together."

"If that day really comes, I will tell him, but whether he comes or not is the decision that should be made by him, not by a minister." Chu Heyi said.

"Also, if the Queen wants to send a wedding gift, please send it to the Xie Mansion. I will not and cannot accept it on his behalf. This is a matter between him and you."

The queen didn't say anything for a while, but just stared at Chu Heyi with icy eyes.

Chu Heyi slowly lowered her eyes from meeting the Queen's gaze, and then said, "If the Queen has no other instructions, I will take my leave."

The queen still didn't speak, her eyes remained cold. Under her murderous gaze, Chu Heyi slowly stood up and left Fengwu Palace.

When Nanny Rui, Baihua and Xianyue picked her up, Chu Heyi found that a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.

The sun rose and the moon set, and in a blink of an eye it was the eve of Chu Heyi and Xie Lin's wedding. During these few days, the palace was very quiet and no news came.

Prince Cheng and his wife were also extremely quiet. Ever since the emperor became seriously ill, the couple had been quiet and had not made any movement.

Chu Heyi was sitting in the room thinking about these things when suddenly, a "click" sound came from outside the window, as if something had fallen to the ground and broken.
