Chapter 249 The Queen Mother Comes to Visit
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci laughed contemptuously, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, why do you have to speak so eloquently? If you let your uncle become the regent, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night, right?
"The reason I'm able to sit in this position is because you want to contain the Emperor's uncle. If you dare to imprison me today, believe it or not, the Emperor will immediately replace me at the court tomorrow morning." Mu Xingci said fearlessly.
"How dare you threaten me!" Xie Fengying naturally understood the interests involved.
"I dare not! I am only telling the truth, lest the Empress Dowager, in a moment of confusion, do something irreversible."
Xie Fengying looked at this ungrateful man and waved her hand to signal the guards to retreat.
Then he asked all the palace maids to leave the room. When only the two of them were left, Xie Fengying walked forward with affection in her eyes and placed her hand on the man's chest.
"Mu Xingci, I have no ill intentions, and the tea is not poison. It's just something to add some fun, and it won't hurt your body." Xie Fengying spoke in a gentle tone, with a wink in her eyes.
Mu Xingci felt cold towards her blatant seduction and took a few steps back: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please respect yourself! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Mu Xingci! Stop right there." Xie Fengying was annoyed by his repeated rejections.
Mu Xingci did not stop and walked out of the palace directly.
Seeing that the man ignored her, Xie Fengying was so angry that she smashed things in the house to vent her anger.
If she could, she really wanted to kill him to vent her anger, but her reason told her not to.
Just as he said, as soon as Mu Xingci goes to jail today, death will be waiting for him and his son.
She thought that with her beauty, she could easily capture this man, but she didn't expect that he would pretend not to understand and ignore her several hints.
There was no other way. The days of staying alone in an empty room were really hard to bear, but she just fell in love with this man. No other man could enter her proud eyes.
Today she really couldn't help wanting to see him, so she asked someone to put aphrodisiac in the tea, hoping to keep him, but he saw through her at a glance. She was embarrassed and annoyed by the man's lack of understanding of romance.
Mu Xingci returned home with a gloomy face. When he entered the courtyard, he calmed down and walked into the courtyard with a slight smile on his face, so as not to bring his unhappiness home.
Yun Wansheng was sitting at the table reading a book when she suddenly saw him come in through the curtains. She couldn't help but smile, "You're back so soon?"
"Well! It's nothing serious. It's just that the emperor didn't want to listen to the teachings, so he asked me to go and discipline him." Mu Xingci told a white lie.
"I understand. Although he is the emperor, he is still a child. It is his nature to be playful. He will be fine once he grows up."
"Well! Madam, what you said makes sense." Mu Xingci said, and came behind her: "Stop looking, stay with me." As he said that, he pulled her up and walked towards the bed.
"What are you doing? What's wrong with you in broad daylight?"
"Is it not enough that I miss you? Look how charming you are. I have a good man like you thinking about you all day long." Mu Xingci said with an evil smile, and then pushed the person to sit on the bed.
"Did your mouth get smeared with honey in the palace? You are so good at coaxing people." Yun Wansheng said jokingly while being held in the man's arms.
Mu Xingci's eyes turned slightly cold when he heard this: "There is no honey in the palace."
"My husband, are the people in the palace giving you a hard time?" Yun Wansheng sensed something unusual.
"It's a small matter. My identity as a husband is not something that anyone can control."
"What's going on?"
"These are all public affairs, so don't ask any more questions."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Yun Wansheng didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Xingci just held her in his arms and hugged her on the bed without saying anything else.
Yun Wansheng noticed the man's unhappiness and stopped disturbing him.
That afternoon, Mu Xing resigned from the military camp outside the city, and Yun Wansheng spent her time at home writing her novel.
Just as she was about to rest, she saw her maid Dongmei walk in: "Princess, the Queen Mother has sent a message asking you to enter the palace immediately."
Yun Wansheng's eyes paused when she heard this: "Can you tell me why you want to see me?"
"No!" Dongmei said truthfully.
Yun Wansheng thought for a moment. Mu Xingci had just been summoned in the morning, and she was summoned in the afternoon. Moreover, Mu Xingci looked unhappy when he came back. So, it must be no good thing that the Empress Dowager summoned her?
"Dongmei, go and tell the palace maid that I'm not feeling well and can't walk, and go another day." Mu Xingci is not at home, so she'd better be careful, as she has a baby in her belly!
I thought everything would be fine after I sent him away, but before long, I heard a hurried greeting from outside the courtyard gate: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"
Yun Wansheng was startled when she heard this, and immediately wanted to go to bed and pretend to be sick, but the footsteps had already entered the main room, which left her no time to prepare. She could only sit at the table pretending to be weak.
As soon as Xie Fengying entered the room, she saw a woman sitting at the table with her hand on her forehead.
This was the first time she met the legendary favored Regent Princess.
She was wearing a gorgeous purple-red dress, which was in no way inferior to the empress dowager's luxurious dress. Her appearance was cold and noble, which made her look tacky compared to her exquisite makeup.
"How dare you! The Empress Dowager comes here and doesn't even kneel down to greet her!" The palace maid stepped forward and shouted.
Yun Wansheng opened her beautiful eyes, as if she had just realized something, and quickly knelt to greet him: "Your Highness, I greet the Empress Dowager."
Xie Fengying watched her bow and did not let her stand up immediately: "I heard that the Regent Princess is ill and can't walk. This makes me very worried.
The Regent Prince finally married a beautiful wife and nothing must happen to her, so I came in person to visit her."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Queen. I feel much better after taking the medicine just now, so I got out of bed and wanted to sit for a while. I didn't expect you to come just as I sat down." Yun Wansheng said while keeping her knees bent.
It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was deliberately making things difficult for her. If she stood up without permission, she would definitely be held accountable.
"Really? I heard that the Regent Princess is pregnant?" Xie Fengying asked knowingly, and then sat in the seat where Yun Wansheng had just sat.
"Exactly!"
"How many months?"
"Three months is not enough."
As the Empress Dowager asked more and more questions, Yun Wansheng's legs felt sore and weak. She wanted to endure it, but she was determined not to let her have an easy time. So she could only think about protecting herself. She didn't want the child to get into trouble again.
Thinking of this, he pretended to stagger and then stood up.
Her action stunned several palace maids and Xie Fengying in the room. They obviously did not expect that the Regent Princess would dare to stand up on her own without the permission of the Empress Dowager.
"Regent Princess, you are so bold! The Empress Dowager didn't allow you to stand up, but you dared to stand up on your own. You should be executed." Xie Fengying's personal maid said arrogantly.
