Miao Qinghua felt that the Regent's Palace was bound to suffer a setback this time, but she was very surprised to learn that the Regent's Palace had escaped danger.
"Duan Gouqiong came forward and accused Shao Lecheng of fraud?"
"Yes! Queen Mother, we had a sure win this time, and we were sure to defeat the Prince Regent's Palace. But the Prince Regent was too cunning. He actually sent someone to the Prince's Palace to ask for help from Princess Gou Qiong!"
"Although Princess Gou Qiong and the prince are husband and wife, the prince has never been able to order Princess Gou Qiong around. It was unexpected that Princess Gou Qiong showed up this time!"
Miao Qinghua's face became increasingly gloomy, terrifyingly gloomy.
The guard who had reported back knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word. After a long moment, Miao Qinghua rubbed his temple and spoke, "Are Princess Gou Qiong and the Prince in a stalemate now?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Princess Gou Qiong had already taken Ke'er with her to the Regent's Palace with the Regent and his wife. She was planning to end her marriage with the Prince!"
Miao Qinghua opened her eyes unexpectedly and chuckled, "I'm afraid this was also the Regent's idea! But I have plenty of ways to deal with them!"
The guard looked at Miao Qinghua in confusion, but Miao Qinghua smiled and said, "Go, bring the prince over. I have something to say to him alone!"
Although Miao Qinghua was smiling, there was only coldness in her eyes.
When Shao Lecheng entered the palace, Miao Qinghua had already taken a short rest inside.
Looking at him, Miao Qinghua quickly reached out to support him: "Hurry up and get up."
Shao Lecheng looked at Miao Qinghua with a guilty expression on his face. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am useless and failed to complete the lawsuit against the Prince Regent's Palace. I have disappointed you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I will accept any punishment you want!"
"Prince, what are you talking about? You have worked so hard for me, how could I possibly blame you? I can't even praise you enough."
"Who doesn't know Gou Qiong's temper? She won't be restrained at all. But it doesn't matter. We can find a way to coax Gou Qiong back home!"
Shao Lecheng, however, had a cold and arrogant look on his face: "She doesn't take me, her husband, seriously at all. How can a wife be so disrespectful to her husband? She can stay in the Regent's Palace as long as she wants!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Prince? She is your wife, a princess from a foreign country who came here as a marriage partner. How can you just ignore her? Only when your relationship is harmonious can the relationship between Canglie and Xianchang be harmonious!"
Listening to Miao Qinghua's advice, Shao Lecheng frowned slightly: "Empress Dowager, do you have any good ideas?"
Miao Qinghua curled her lips slightly, "She made a mistake, and indeed she deserves to be criticized, but her status is special, so she can't be criticized! The only way is to use provocation to force her to return home on her own!"
Shao Lecheng looked at Miao Qinghua with a curious expression: "Queen Dowager, what do you mean?"
Miao Qinghua's smile deepened, and her eyes flashed with a strange light.
In the Regent's Palace, Ni Yueshan ordered the servants to arrange a room for Duan Gouqiong, while she and Duan Gouqiong teased the child together.
Xue'er and Ke'er were put together, and the two children kept laughing. Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong didn't know what they were laughing about, but seeing the children happy, they also laughed.
At this time, a servant came over and saluted the two. Ni Yueshan looked at the servant and asked, "What's the matter?"
The servant looked at Duan Gouqiong with embarrassment, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Duan Gouqiong didn't hear any response and looked at him strangely.
"Princess, why don't you go back? I just heard from the Prince's Mansion that the Queen Mother has granted the Prince a marriage!"
Duan Gouqiong had been calm before, but now he stood up, his face full of surprise: "So, the prince agrees?"
The servant nodded awkwardly: "Although the Queen Mother's marriage is granted by imperial decree, it is no different from an imperial decree and cannot be disobeyed. How can the prince refuse to accept the order?"
Ni Yueshan frowned and said, "At this time, the Queen Mother is forcing you to return to the palace by granting you a marriage!"
Although Duan Gouqiong has a strong personality, she and Shao Lecheng are in love. When a woman learns that the man she loves is going to marry another woman, which woman can sit still?
Duan Gouqiong's face was gloomy: "Let him try and marry her!"
Seeing that Duan Gouqiong was very angry, Ni Yueshan quickly spoke to comfort her: "Maybe that wasn't his intention. You must not be angry. If you are angry, you will have been fooled by the Queen Mother!"
Duan Gouqiong was too idle to sit still and rushed out angrily. Ni Yueshan was worried and ordered the servants behind him, "Take good care of Xue'er and Ke'er, and tell the prince that we are going to the prince's palace!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan accompanied Duan Gouqiong back to the prince's mansion.
In the prince's mansion, after receiving the imperial edict, preparations for setting up the wedding venue began.
Duan Gouqiong looked at the bright red and found it extremely dazzling. He stepped forward and tore off the red silk, angrily saying, "No one is allowed to make any more arrangements without my permission!"
The servant saw that it was Duan Gouqiong who had returned, and hurried to inform Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng was still racking his brains over who to invite to the wedding when he heard a loud roar from outside: "Shao Lecheng, come out here!"
One sound after another made people frown.
Shao Lecheng stood up helplessly and walked out: "No need to speak so loudly, my hearing is very good, and my last name is Jing now, not Shao!"
"I don't care what your last name is, how dare you accept the imperial decree of marriage!" Duan Gouqiong roared, put his hands on his hips, looking very fierce.
Shao Lecheng sighed helplessly: "That's an imperial decree, how could I not accept it!"
He saw Ni Yueshan standing not far away and laughed sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this the Regent Princess? What brings you here?"
Ni Yueshan looked at him with a cold face: "We were friends before. Even if we are not friends now, you can't be so arrogant as to frame others and now you are so righteous as to mock them?"
Ni Yueshan was never a pushover either. Shao Lecheng just snorted and was too lazy to say anything to Ni Yueshan.
He looked at Duan Gouqiong and said, "If you don't like the Queen Mother's decree, that's fine. You can go to the palace and have a good talk with the Queen Mother to ask her to rescind her order. I don't really care if there's another woman in the mansion. It's just the difference between playing outside the mansion or inside!"
"You..." Duan Gouqiong widened her eyes. She obviously didn't expect that Shao Lecheng would be so bold as to say such rude words in front of her!
Seeing Duan Gouqiong speechless, Shao Lecheng snorted lightly: "Okay, I have to be busy. If you want to cancel the wedding, go to the palace to find the Queen Mother. Don't look for me. I am just a small prince. I don't have the right to ask the Queen Mother to withdraw the decree!"
Duan Gouqiong looked straight at Shao Lecheng. He passed by her until he disappeared from her sight. She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Ni Yueshan quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't be angry, why don't we go to the palace together to see the Queen Mother?"
