The brother and sister finally returned to the Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Jiaojiao had been busy for most of the day, and as soon as she got into Mrs. Qiao's arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Qiao Tianjing returned to Qingzhuyuan, Han Yaxian was handling business matters.

When she saw Qiao Tianjing, her face turned slightly red, but she said nothing in the end.

She was worried that it was a misunderstanding, so she went back to her mother's home yesterday and asked her mother to call a doctor to see her.

The doctor said that the baby was too young and must have just been conceived, so the pulse was not very obvious yet.

After thinking it over, she decided to wait until she got morning sickness.

In order to make her defensive, Qiao Lang once told her that according to his younger sister's prophecy, she was poisoned and would never get pregnant.

In fact, she was extremely worried, and now the appearance of this child finally soothed her anxiety and fear.

However, she didn't want to let Qiao Lang and her parents down for nothing, so...she decided to wait a little longer.

Qiao Tianjing walked up to Han Yaxuan and whispered in her ear for a while, then went back to writing a letter to his father.

My little sister is right. Doctor Zou might be very useful. We should ask dad to find a way to turn him over!

————

After the prince returned to the palace, he locked himself in his bedroom and sat there alone for a long time.

The Fourth Prince was in the study today, so he had no idea that his brother the Crown Prince had suffered a great blow.

Nearing dinner time, the prince finally calmed down and decided to go see the queen.

When he arrived at the Yiku Palace, he actually saw Emperor Yong's sedan chair at the door!

The prince paused, his heart suddenly aching.

He had already heard that his father stayed in Yikun Palace last night.

But he only realized now how his mother had endured the disgusting state of mind and pretended to be nice to his father in order to help him draw blood yesterday.

Queen Mother...

The prince took a deep breath, hardened his expression and continued to walk inside.

My father is obsessed with Concubine Yu, while at the same time he is greedy for the relationship with my mother. How can you have the best of both worlds?

I'm afraid my father has forgotten how deeply he hurt my mother for Concubine Yu!

When the prince stepped into the Yiku Palace, he found the palace servants kneeling on the ground outside the palace.

His heart suddenly lifted, and he shouted outside the palace: "Your son pays respect to the father, the emperor, and the mother, the queen!"

The next moment, the prince walked into the hall without hesitation without being informed.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Emperor Yong sitting on the couch with a gloomy expression, and the Queen was kneeling in front of Emperor Yong. There was a broken teacup and a pile of filth on the ground...

Huang Pei was so anxious that his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything when Emperor Yong was furious. When he saw the prince come in, he quickly signaled with his eyes.

Everything was fine just now, but His Majesty seemed to have some intention and was a little "intimate" with the Empress. He was about to avoid her, but the Empress...

When the prince saw the queen kneeling on the ground, countless thoughts came to his mind and he felt extremely heartbroken. Emperor Yong, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but feel resentful!

But he had to suppress all his emotions, abandon his impulses, and kneel respectfully beside the queen.

He glanced sideways and saw the queen's drooping eyebrows, then he slowly clenched his hands under his sleeves.

"Father, I wonder what did Mother do to make you so angry?"

Emperor Yong snorted coldly, extremely angry.

"My good queen, your good mother, she actually hates me to this extent. I am just... the queen actually spit obscenities in front of me!"

Upon hearing this, the prince immediately understood where the filth on the ground came from. He felt even more heartbroken, but his face showed surprise.

"Father, you must have misunderstood Mother!"

"My queen mother likes to eat loquats. These days, loquats are gradually ripening. I brought some to you yesterday and specifically reminded you that loquats are cold in nature, so you should not eat too much even if you like them."

"I guess the Queen Mother didn't listen to me. She ate too much and that's why she behaved badly in front of the Emperor."

"Father, you and Mother have been married for many years. It is impossible for you not to know how Mother feels about you."

Huang Pei hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, when I came in just now, I saw a loquat tree in the yard!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong frowned and looked suspicious.

"Really? If that's the case, why didn't the Queen defend herself just now?"

The prince was nervous when he heard this, fearing that the queen was already extremely disappointed, and he didn't want to speak at all.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the queen raised her head with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, have you given me a chance to explain myself? My stomach is aching and I am speechless for a moment."

"I finally recovered a little and was about to apologize, but you threw the cup and scolded me. I felt really wronged."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong to behave in front of you, but you were so cold and hurtful, not caring that I just showed my goodwill to Your Majesty yesterday. How do you want me to deal with this?"

As the queen spoke, tears were already rolling down her cheeks. She looked extremely weak, as if she had felt deeply wronged.

When Emperor Yong heard this, he was finally surprised.

So, he really misunderstood?

He thought the queen was touched by him...

"Mother, please don't be like this. I believe that father didn't mean it."

When the prince saw the queen's tears, he became more and more resentful towards Emperor Yong, and his anger almost reached its peak.

Emperor Yong slowly stood up. He saw the Queen crying. He knew he was in the wrong, but he could not admit his fault. He just said dryly:

"I was a little impatient, but as the queen, it is wrong for her to behave so ugly because of her greed."

The queen trembled slightly when she heard this, and after a while she bent over and said, "I am wrong, Your Majesty, please punish me."

When Emperor Yong heard the queen admit her fault, he seemed to have regained his face, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, and I have no intention of pursuing it."

"Zhan'er, take good care of your mother."

After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he strode away, bypassing the filth on the ground.

Outside the hall, the palace maids followed them away. In the huge hall, the prince and the queen were still kneeling on the ground.

Nanny Mei was very useful. She drove everyone out and even cleared out the yard.

All around was quiet. The prince helped the queen up and suddenly said in a low voice:

"Mother, I'm sorry."

The Queen wiped her tears and a very gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Zhan'er, it's okay. Mother is used to it. I almost got you into trouble today. Thanks to your cleverness."

"But you came in today without permission, which is a violation of the rules. Zhan'er, mother knows that you are worried about her safety, but you have endured it for so many years, you don't have to do it because of mother--"

"Mother!"

The prince suddenly knelt heavily on the ground, making a thud sound.

The queen was startled and immediately came to pull the prince, saying quickly: "Zhan'er, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly!"

The prince held the queen's hand tightly. His throat felt so sour as if it was cut by a knife. Finally, he could not help but bury his head in the queen's palm, tears slowly rolling down his cheeks.

The queen felt the wetness and heat in her palm and was shocked, and an uncontrollable panic arose in her heart.

The prince has been very strong since he was young. As his mother, she has never seen the prince cry since he became an official.

"Zhan'er, what happened to you today? What happened when you left the palace? Tell mother quickly!"

"Mother."

The prince spoke in a trembling voice, but his voice was extremely low, revealing a firmness and decisiveness that made people's heart palpitate.

"Mother, I don't want to endure it any longer. I have made up my mind. I won't hesitate any more!"

Upon hearing this, the queen stood there in a daze for a long time. Then her expression gradually relaxed and she looked at the prince with clear eyes.

She said softly: "Zhan'er, no matter what you do, your mother will support you..."

Even so, it is against the will of the world - killing the emperor and the father!

Zhan'er, just keep moving forward. Your mother will do her best to help you clear all obstacles!
