The prince looked at the queen for a long time and then nodded.
"Since mother wants to see her, I will find a suitable opportunity to bring her into the palace."
The two said goodbye, and the Queen went to the Queen Mother's palace.
When the Queen Mother saw her, her face darkened. The Queen was already used to this and she knelt down on the ground.
"The Queen Mother."
"Your son is such a powerful person. I didn't expect that without doing anything, he could be left alone among the disaster victims in Jiangnan for such a long time. I don't even know if he is still healthy now."
The Queen originally thought that the Queen Mother was angry about something else and never imagined that it was because Chi Mu was away.
"The reason why Your Highness was forced to be sent to comfort the disaster victims in Jiangnan was because Your Highness asked for it himself. This has nothing to do with the Crown Prince and me."
"It has nothing to do with you. Is it really nothing to do with the Crown Prince? I absolutely do not believe this matter. The Crown Prince did not fan the flames behind the scenes, especially that... General Fu who went and came back."
"The Crown Prince just came to my courtyard, and I asked the Queen Mother a question. The Crown Prince is indeed unaware of these things. As for the general, he came back first because he was too timid and was afraid that he would be infected with the epidemic and lose his life. The Crown Prince has already blamed the general."
The queen completely excluded the prince from this matter. After all, it was really not easy to have such things happen with a prince.
However, these words were not worthy of belief at all for the Queen Mother. She looked at her with a warning look in her eyes.
"Don't think I don't know what you and the prince are planning, and don't think I don't know you want to harm my grandson. If anything happens to the prince, I want you to pay with your lives."
"Queen Dowager, I have also watched the prince grow up since he was a child. Naturally, I feel sorry for him and naturally want him to have smooth sailing. I don't know what the prince has done to cause the Queen Dowager to misunderstand this. From now on, I will definitely warn the prince not to..."
"What on earth did the prince do? As a mother, do you really have no idea?"
Of course, the Queen Mother would not believe what the Queen said.
"What a great move of retreating to advance. I have always believed that both you and the prince stood behind me. I have done my best to protect you over the years, but I never thought that a young eagle will one day grow into an eagle. Even if you needed protection at first, you now hope to be able to stand on your own and protect yourself with your own means."
The Queen looked at the Queen Mother and knew that the Prince's actions in recent times must have caused the Queen Mother's suspicion and resentment.
She quickly spoke up to defend the prince.
"Some of the things the Crown Prince did recently were indeed directed at the Prince, but those things were ordered by His Majesty. The Crown Prince now sits in the East Palace and dares not disobey His Majesty easily. The Crown Prince also does not want to treat the Prince in this way. Please understand, Queen Mother."
"Your Highness doesn't want to?"
The Queen nodded and looked at the Queen Mother pleadingly.
"The Queen Mother guessed that as long as you asked for something, it would be possible for you to do it. But this time, Your Majesty already knew what the Queen Mother wanted, and he made a lot of moves. Even if it was my concubine...but Your Majesty refused."
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen, then waved her hand, had someone bring a cup of tea, and asked her to sit down with her.
"Thank you, Queen."
The Empress Dowager looked at her and said, "Your family is between me and the Emperor, which makes things difficult for you."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It's me. I don't have the ability, otherwise I would definitely help you keep the prince in the capital. Now you don't have to worry about whether the prince is doing well outside every day."
"Speaking of Chi Mu, I really look worried. Why does he want to run away so much? I haven't seen him much in the past few years."
"Princess Yong'an."
While the Empress Dowager and the Queen were still talking, they heard someone outside calling Yong'an's name. Then Princess Yong'an walked in happily and handed the pastries in her hand to Nanny Qin.
"Before entering the palace today, I happened to see the cake shop in the East Market, and Chen has always thought that their cakes are the most delicious, so I bought some for the Queen Mother. Queen Mother, why don't you try it and see if it's okay?"
Princess Yong'an was talking to the Queen Mother. When she saw the Queen sitting beside her, she just asked coldly, "The Queen is here too."
The Queen stood up and wanted to talk to Princess Yong'an, but she heard Princess Yong'an say, "When I came here, I saw that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were blooming beautifully. Grandmother had been recuperating for a long time in the yard. Why don't you go out for a walk with me today?"
Princess Yong'an looked at the Empress Dowager with hope. The Empress Dowager had always doted on her daughter so much that naturally she would not say a word at this moment.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and said, "I have said everything you want to say. You should think carefully about what to do and don't let yourself regret it in the end."
"I understand."
"grandmother!"
Princess Yong'an kept pestering the Empress Dowager, and Zhan Qi had no choice but to stand up and follow her out.
The Queen naturally planned to leave the Empress Dowager's Palace, but before she took a few steps, she was stopped by the maid beside Princess Yong'an.
The queen frowned.
Although Princess Yong'an was raised by the Empress Dowager, she cannot be so arrogant.
A little maidservant would definitely not be able to stop a queen like him.
"The princess has something for me to tell the queen."
"Yongan?"
The Queen and Yong'an almost never interfere with each other, and their interactions are almost minimal. At this moment, she really doesn't know what to say?
"I have never had any dealings with the princess and the other two. I wonder what the princess wants to warn me about today?"
The maid bowed to the queen.
"Princess Yong'an has good intentions. She wants me to tell the Queen that Chi Mu is not important now. What is more important is Shen Yuerong. If she is wronged, I am afraid that the princess's brother will be even more angry. If the princess is the Queen, she should not attack those innocent people in Jiangnan at this moment, nor should she let those innocent people bear the sin."
"What absurd things are you saying? I will be involved with those people in Jiangnan."
The queen took two steps back and looked at the person in front of her with an obviously guilty look on her face. She had never expected... that this would be the outcome today.
"The princess has always known what the queen is thinking. The princess has given the queen a chance before, but if the queen insists on doing so, the princess will not give her any chance to repent."
