Queen Shen was standing aside at this moment, her face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Majesty, Yue'er is in a very bad situation in Yao Country now. I'm worried that Jiang Ziyi, that bastard, deliberately designed this to make Yue'er suffer!" Queen Shen still spoke with some unwillingness to give up.

Emperor Shen's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted in shock, "What bastard?! She's my princess too! I told you to treat her well before, but what did you do to Mingyue? You're just making things difficult for her for no reason!"

Emperor Shen's words gave Queen Shen a heart attack.

It was obvious that he had assumed that Jiang Ziyi was a little bastard and ignored her, so even his servants dared to bully her at will.

It would be fine if he wasn't willing to save Mingyue now, but he actually turned around and accused them of mistreating Jiang Ziyi in the past!?

Queen Shen's face turned cold, and she didn't want to directly offend the emperor in front of him. It seemed that she could not rely on this side, and she had to find another way to save Mingyue.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to help, then I can only ask the Yuan family for help." After saying this, she left without caring about anything.

The Yuan family is the queen's family.

Emperor Shen looked at her departing back and curled his lips in disdain.

"Humph! Do you really think her Yuan family is still the same as before?"

In the past, he borrowed the power of the Yuan family to eliminate the voices of opposition for him, which allowed him to sit firmly on the throne.

Therefore, in his early years, Emperor Shen was controlled by the Yuan family in every way.

He even discovered that the Yuan family was secretly dealing with the Xiao family.

So when Emperor Yao asked him to send Mingyue over, he actually didn't object in his heart.

He knew that Mingyue wanted the boy from the Xiao family to be her husband, but if the Xiao family joined forces with the Yuan family, it was hard to say whether the court would change in the future.

But now, the Yuan family has gradually declined due to his various tactics.

Because of Mingyue, the eldest son of the Xiao family was also forbidden by his decree to marry into other families.

He controlled two major families in one go. Daughters? In his eyes, they were all chess pieces that could be used. How much affection could he have for a chess piece?

In the past, I gave Mingyue a little more love simply because I gave her a little attention for the sake of the Yuan family.

Emperor Shen's eyes rolled around, and he called the chief eunuch who was away, "Go and call Xiao Jingyun for me. I want him to go on a diplomatic mission to Yao State."
