Chapter 924: It turns out that it is just like this
The Queen said in a cold tone, "Prince Jin, you are too polite. I'm afraid your status will be too high to reach. My mother and I just want to stay in Fengyi Palace and live a peaceful life.
As for other things, I dare not and should not think about them."
These words clearly meant to distance himself from Mo Jinchuan.
Mo Yingxue panicked immediately, her eyes red as she grabbed her arm and begged, "Mother, please don't be like this, Xue'er is scared."
She really likes the fifth brother and his wife, nothing else matters.
What should she do if her mother becomes enemies with them and stops having any contact with them?
The Queen turned her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, frowned and said, "Put away your tears, you are the only legitimate princess of Da'an, and the proudest child of this palace and your father.
Don't cry so much, you'll make people laugh at you."
Mo Yingxue opened her mouth, "Mother, I..."
The Queen's eyes were stern as she scolded, "If you still recognize me as your mother, don't mention this matter again."
She closed her eyes and ordered in a cold voice, "Xianglan, show the guest out!"
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened even more. He threw down his sleeves and strode out. "Since that's the case, I will grant the Queen's wish."
Song Yanxi followed behind him, slowing down by two steps. When she passed by Mo Yingxue, she finally couldn't bear it and stopped.
She sighed softly and handed her a handkerchief, "Princess, wipe your tears."
Hearing her gentle voice, Mo Yingxue's tears of grievance suddenly fell even more fiercely, and she choked and said, "Fifth sister-in-law."
The Queen's face immediately darkened, "Yingxue!"
Mo Yingxue opened her mouth to say something, but her nose felt sore and her throat couldn't make any sound.
Song Yanxi didn't say anything else, just bowed to the queen and said "take care".
"Hypocritical!" The Queen glared at her, grabbed Mo Yingxue's wrist, and strode away.
Mo Yingxue didn't want to leave, nor did she want to hurt the Queen's feelings, so she could only look back every few steps, and her big tears sank into the blue bricks under her feet.
Song Yanxi's eyes darkened and she turned and left Fengyi Palace.
As expected, there was a pair of imperial guards guarding outside Fengyi Palace, each with a sword at their waist and a stern look on their face.
If you didn't know, you would definitely think that the people living inside were not the queen and her daughter, but some extremely vicious criminals.
As expected of Princess Huayang, she does things flawlessly.
I don't want to leave even the slightest hidden danger.
Walking on the long palace road that seemed to have no end, Song Yanxi felt indescribably heavy-hearted and her steps slowed down unconsciously.
Mo Jinchuan turned to look at her and asked in a deep voice, "Xi'er, do you also think that this king is too cruel?"
Song Yanxi pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
But her silent attitude said it all.
There was a chill in Mo Jinchuan's eyes, "I thought you were the one who understood me best in this world.
So, that’s all it is.”
Song Yanxi raised her eyes to look at him, frowned, and asked, "Why does Your Majesty have to think so badly of me?"
She took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "How the Queen and Princess Roujia treat us on a daily basis, there is no need for me to say more, Your Majesty has his own standards.
"Such a big thing happened today, so it's understandable that the Queen finds it difficult to accept it for a while. Why did the prince say such harsh words?"
Mo Jinchuan's eyes showed more impatience, "Womanly kindness."
After saying this, he was too lazy to argue with Song Yanxi and turned around to leave.
Song Yanxi stared at his back and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, are you willing to give up anything for that position?"
Mo Jinchuan paused, his voice cold, "I will have someone escort you out of the palace."
"No need." Song Yanxi bowed towards him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. I still have to take care of His Majesty, so I will leave first."
When Mo Jinchuan turned around, he only saw her resolute back.

"Don't pay attention to it. This is just a show for me."
Princess Huayang held the golden scissors and snipped off the flowers in full bloom on the branches with a "click". She said quietly, "Everyone says that Jinchuan looks a lot like my brother, but I don't think he looks like me at all.
When the emperor was young, he was not as indecisive as him. He wanted to protect this and that.
I have taught him for so many years, but I still haven't taught him that you can't have your cake and eat it too."
Yun Que took two steps forward, respectfully extended her hand to take the golden scissors, and asked softly, "Princess, where is Princess Yong'an?"
Princess Huayang glanced at her sideways, smiled coldly and said, "Do you really think that boy would be willing to part with the lover he exchanged half his life for just a few words?
He just wants to use you to tell me not to mess with his heart."
Thinking of something, she couldn't help but chuckle, "You're almost thirty, and you're still playing the same tricks you used to play when you were a kid in front of me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Noticing that she was in a good mood, Yun Que boldly asked, "Princess, should the news of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's death be announced to the world?"
Princess Huayang didn't answer but asked, "Yuque, can you help me think about this? Is now the right time?"
Yun Que quickly took two steps back and knelt down neatly. "I dare not presume to guess what the princess is thinking."
"Okay, get up."
Princess Huayang frowned and said with some displeasure, "You've become more and more timid recently, kneeling all the time. Do you think I can eat you?"
As she spoke, she changed the subject, "Are you still blaming me in your heart?"
Skylark: "I dare not."
Princess Huayang: "Don't let me say it again."
Yu Que quickly stood up, lowered his eyes and stared at his toes, looking extremely obedient.
Knowing that she must still have some resentment in her heart, Princess Huayang sighed softly, "The Japanese palace was angry, but she just said it casually. I didn't expect that the servants below who have always been lazy would suddenly be so efficient.
Never mind, it’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
Yun Que suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said respectfully, "Xue'er is a servant. If she fails to do her job well, she should be punished. Even if the princess doesn't do it, I will still teach her a lesson.
It's her bad luck that she doesn't have the blessing to continue serving the princess, so she can't blame anyone else."
Princess Huayang looked gloomy, "I am relieved that you think so."
She glanced at the potted plant on the table, which had lost its luster after its top was cut, and said calmly, "This peony has bloomed beautifully. Send it to His Majesty. Who knows, seeing his beloved peony might just make him happy and heal his illness."
Yun Que responded respectfully, thinking about Xinhe Palace, and asked, "Princess, the servants in His Majesty's bedroom said that the incense in the shop has been replaced by Princess Yong'an. Does Her Majesty need to adjust the incense formula?"
"No need." Princess Huayang pressed her brows and said with a slightly tired look, "The girl from the Song family is quite capable. Even if Concubine De plays tricks, she can't hide it from her."
Yunque asked tentatively, "What about His Majesty?"
Princess Huayang suddenly smiled and said meaningfully, "My royal brother's health has long been at its end, and he won't have many good days left.
After all, we are siblings, so don't torture him during this last bit of time. Let him enjoy his last moments."

Dehai immediately noticed something was wrong with the peony and lowered his voice, "His Majesty has already fallen asleep. Miss Skylark, please put the things down first. When His Majesty wakes up, I will convey the princess's good wishes to him."
Yun Que smiled faintly, "No hurry, I'll wait here."
