Nanny Lan wanted to stop her but was stopped by a cold look from the other party, so she had to kneel back down.

Mu Nanjin walked into the Queen Mother's bedroom and said, "Queen Mother, I am here to serve you."

When the Queen Mother heard Mu Nanjin's voice, she quickly sat up and stared at her warily: "I have already told Nanny Lan that no one needs to come to pay respects today, but you barged in without my permission. Do you really take me seriously?"

"The Emperor asked me to come visit the Queen Mother, and I had no choice but to obey."

Mu Nanjin walked to the bed and saw that the empress dowager had a face full of bruises and looked uglier than a toad. She picked up the bronze mirror on the dressing table and handed it to her: "The empress dowager must not have used the bronze mirror to look at herself today. She doesn't know how 'exquisite' her makeup is today."

The Queen Mother blocked her face with her arms in fear and said, "I don't want to look in the mirror, don't take it, go away, go away."

She didn't want to see her ugly appearance. It was too scary, even she was scared.

Princess Shuiyao, who was kneeling outside the courtyard, said angrily, "Noble Lady Mu, if anything happens to my mother, even the emperor can't protect you."

Nanny Lan also shouted angrily: "Mrs. Mu, don't take advantage of the emperor's favor to do whatever you want."

Mu Nanjin ignored their words, pulled the Queen Mother's hand away and asked her to look at the mirror.

"I don't want to look at it, I don't want to look at it, please take it away from me." The Queen Mother yelled with her eyes closed.

Prince Nan could no longer bear it and jumped up and rushed into the Wanshou Palace, but the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom was locked tightly, and no matter how hard he banged and kicked, he couldn't open the door.

"Mother, are you okay? Mother."

Mu Nanjin felt bored and put down the mirror, and picked up the ointment next to it instead: "Queen Mother, since you don't want to look in the mirror, then I will help you apply the ointment."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes a little to make sure the mirror was put back in the dressing table before she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she frowned and said, "I just applied medicine. There is no need to apply more. If you really want to take care of me, then clean the spittoon and toilet."

"Yes, Queen."

Then the spittoon under the bed flew up.

The Queen Mother stared with eyes wide open in shock as she watched the spittoon fly over her head, and then fall down, spilling all the phlegm and saliva inside onto her face.

She was stunned for a moment, wiped the phlegm off her face, and went crazy when she saw the yellow sticky liquid on her hands.

“Ahhh—Ahhh—”

The Queen Mother couldn't stand Mu Nanjin anymore: "Get out of here, get out—"

Mu Nanjin refused to leave.

The Queen Mother quickly got up and smashed things: "Bitch, get out of here, get out of here!"

Mu Nanjin flashed to the door.

At the same time, the seal on the door was lifted.

Bang--

Prince Nan kicked the door open.

The door hit the empress dowager who rushed over to chase Mu Nanjin away.

"ah--"

The Queen Mother fell to the ground.

"Mother."

Prince Nan was stunned and hurried to help the man.

The Queen Mother quickly pushed him away and covered her face with her hair: "Don't come over here, don't look at me, go out, all of you, go out."

Prince Nan said anxiously, "Mother, I am here to teach my son."

"Get out, get out."

Nanny Lan hurried in and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother doesn't want anyone to see her in her current state. You should go back first."

Prince Nan looked at the Queen Mother who looked like a crazy woman and found it hard to believe that she was the Queen Mother who always maintained her noble elegance.

He said in a complicated tone: "Mother, I am leaving now. You must take good care of yourself."

Prince Nan turned and walked out of the hall, then shouted to Mu Nanjin in front of him, "Noble Mu, stop right there."

Mu Nanjin ignored him and continued walking forward.

"Mrs. Mu..."

Prince Nan pressed her shoulders angrily.

Mu Nanjin took out the token that said "As if I were here in person".

Prince Nan almost bit his teeth off, then knelt down obediently.

"You will kneel here for two hours."

Princess Shuiyao was furious: "Two hours? Are you trying to kill me?"

Princess Shuiyao was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

"It seems that you are more satisfied with three hours, so let's do three hours."

Princess Shuiyao wanted to kill her with her eyes: "You..."

"Shuiyao." Prince Nan stopped Princess Shuiyao from continuing.

Princess Shuiyao snorted coldly.

Mu Nanjin got on the sedan chair and looked at Prince Nan with sympathy.

【Prince Nan is so pitiful.】

[Perhaps he will never know until his death that his biological mother is not the Queen Mother.]

[What's even more tragic is that his own biological mother died at the hands of the Queen Mother, but now he keeps calling her "Mother". This is a typical example of someone who recognizes a thief as his mother.]

[She foolishly thought that the Queen Mother would help her seize the throne, but unfortunately, the Queen Mother and Xiao Xiurong were fighting for her dream of becoming the Queen.]

"What?"

Prince Nan looked in disbelief at the direction where Mu Nanjin left.

Princess Shuiyao was puzzled: "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Prince Nan asked quickly, "Didn't you hear what Concubine Mu said just now?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No."

Prince Nan: “…”

Why was he the only one who could hear her?

Did Concubine Mu tell him this deliberately in order to sow discord between him and the Queen Mother?

Prince Nan didn't believe what Mu Nanjin said at first.

But when he thought of the rumors in the past, he couldn't help but think more about it.

When he was ten years old, there were rumors in the palace that he looked very similar to the deceased Concubine An, and some people speculated that he was not the Queen Mother's son.

He was so angry that he cried, and the empress dowager even beat and killed the servant who gossiped about him. From then on, no one dared to mention this incident again, and he later put it behind him.

Now that it was brought up again, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the matter.

After all, the Queen Mother's attitude towards him has become increasingly abnormal in recent years, and she has become less and less close to him.

She said she wanted to help him seize the throne, but she never let him participate in it, nor did she let him have much contact with the officials under her. It seemed that she was on guard against him everywhere.

The more Prince Nan thought about it, the colder he felt, and the more he feared that the truth was just as Concubine Mu said.

"Brother Wang? Brother Wang?"

Princess Shuiyao kept calling Prince Nan.

Prince Nan came back to his senses in a daze, then stood up and left.

"Brother Prince, we haven't kneeled for three hours yet." No matter how Princess Shui Yao called out, she couldn't get anyone back.

When Prince Nan left the palace, Mu Nanjin came to the imperial study.

Prime Minister Wu, who was discussing something with Gong Xiurong, snorted coldly when he saw her come in.

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[How did I provoke him? Why did he give me a cold shoulder when I came in? ]

【Did he find out that I was the one who stole the tea leaves?】

[It's impossible. I did it so secretly. How could an old man with blurry eyes discover what I did?]

[Or is he mad at me because my stomach hasn't moved? ]

[How about I give Xiao Xiurong a child? Hehe. ]

“Ahem.”

Gong Xiurong choked on his own saliva.

Prime Minister Wu was sensible and did not leave.

Gong Xiurong coughed lightly and said, "Anzhi, you came at the right time. I have something to tell you. Two state masters from a neighboring country are visiting. They should have been received by the state master, but he was seriously injured. You..."

He wanted to let the national teacher recover from his injuries first, and then beat him up after the national teacher from the neighboring country left, but before he could finish his words, he saw Mu Nanjin nodded: "I understand, I will entertain them."

Gong Xiurong: "..." (End of this chapter)
