It seemed that things were getting out of control if they continued to develop.

Situ Qing personally came down to support Empress Dowager Jiang, and at the same time glared at Situ Yan and Xie Yuantang: "There should be a limit to how much nonsense you can do. Leave now. If you continue to make trouble, you will be confined to my house for reflection."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan looked up at the same time, their eyes shining.

Can we be grounded again?

Can such a good thing happen?

The little boy was so eager to get out and be confined that Situ Qing felt his eyes hurt when he saw him for a second. He waved his hand and said, "Get lost, go back and eat your meal!"

Xie Yuantang knew that he was helping them both out, so he thanked him and slid away with Situ Yan in his arms.

By the time Queen Mother Jiang had caught her breath, the two of them had already sat back in their seats.

Situ Qing supported Queen Mother Jiang and said in a low voice:

"Mother, you are not feeling well. I will take you back to rest and let the imperial physician treat you."

Queen Mother Jiang glanced at him.

After all, she was the queen of palace fighting in the previous term. Even though she has become an old lady now, she is still a ruthless person!

She took the nanny's handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said calmly: "The emperor is really filial. He only remembered to ask me now. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Situ Qing seemed not to hear the sarcasm in her words, and nodded with a smile: "That's good."

Queen Mother Jiang snorted coldly, letting him help her back to her seat, and sneered, "Why, is the Emperor afraid that I will punish your good son?"

Situ Qing: "This is really not..." I'm just afraid that you will be mad at them on the spot.

Queen Mother Jiang rolled her eyes at him, picked up the teacup and took two sips to suppress the taste of blood in her mouth, and covered her lips and put her dentures back on.

Everyone lowered their heads, pretending that they were deaf and blind.

Only Concubine Li glanced at him curiously, but was glared at by Situ Qing.

"Xie Yuantang, Situ Yan."

Queen Mother Jiang resumed her arrogant old lady self and said in a cold voice, "Although you two were wrong just now, since I have said that I will not punish you, I will forgive you today."

Situ Yan blinked and muttered softly: "Why are we guilty? She was the one who insisted on our performance."

Xie Yuantang tilted his head and spread his hands helplessly: "Even if your show made her angry, my transformation is so wonderful. I'll just forgive you, why did you also bring me along?"

Situ Xu: “…” That’s right, giving the Queen Mother a chrysanthemum on the spot, who can be as brilliant as you!

Situ Feng poked Xie Yuantang: "The Queen Mother is watching you. According to the procedure, you and Fifth Brother should express your gratitude."

Xie Yuantang didn't even raise his head: "What are you thanking me for? No thanks."

She was restrained by not fighting back.

Situ Feng gave Xie Yuantang a thumbs up in admiration: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Xie Yuantang took every opportunity to "teach and educate": "I tell you, the less you fear death, the less they dare to kill you. Look at me, has my father ever punished me for what I have done?"

Situ Feng nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is, then I will..."

"You have no future! Don't learn!"

Situ Xu interrupted her hastily and warned with bared teeth: "If you dare to learn, I will die first in front of you!" Anyway, he will be pissed to death sooner or later.

After saying that, he glared at Xie Yuantang and said, "Can you please consider my life or death?"

Xie Yuantang rolled his eyes: "It's just a joke, why take it so seriously? It's not cute."

Situ Yan nodded: "Not cute, not as good as size zero."

Situ Feng sighed: "He has tried very hard, please forgive him for my sake."

Situ Xu: “…” Pinch the Ren Zhong point!

Queen Mother Jiang waited for most of the day but Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan did not show up to express their gratitude. Instead, she watched the four of them chatting together, and her fingers were shaking with anger.

Situ Qing suggested again: "Does the Queen Mother want to go back and rest?"

Queen Mother Jiang: “…” She would never leave. If she didn’t go back today, she would be unworthy of being the number one in the palace fight!

Seeing Xie Yuantang eating so happily, Queen Mother Jiang narrowed her eyes and suddenly chuckled, "Speaking of which, it's not Yuantang's fault that Yan'er has become like this."

Xie Yuantang: "Hmm?"

Did she hear it wrong?

Everyone in the capital city knows that she is Situ Yan's lucky star. How could this old lady blame her?

Situ Qing also frowned: "Mother, although Yuan Tang is a little naughty, it is all thanks to her that Yan'er was able to survive the disaster..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I have heard everything."

Queen Mother Jiang interrupted Situ Qing, looked around, and raised her voice, "Whether a man can succeed depends on whether he has a calm, mature, and supportive wife behind him."

"In my opinion, Yan'er's family is lacking a sensible and good woman."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar and looked at Xie Yuantang at the same time.

Queen Mother Jiang was also looking at Xie Yuantang: "Yuantang is young and can't support the family. I think Yan'er still needs a good prince consort with a clean family background and noble character."

If everyone was just guessing just now, then what Queen Mother Jiang said was already a slap in Xie Yuantang's face!

Not only did he ask Situ Yan to remarry, he also directly denied Xie Yuantang the position of prince's consort and asked her to give up the throne to someone else.

Xie Yuantang raised his eyebrows, meeting the provocative gaze of Queen Mother Jiang, his eyes darkened.

"I do not……"

Situ Yan's face changed and he was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Yuantang held his wrist.

Xie Yuantang looked at him, his eyes calm, his lips moved slightly: "What's the hurry?"

Situ Yan pursed his lips, took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Situ Qing's face was not looking good either: "Mother, Xie Yuantang is the daughter of the Prime Minister, her status is worthy of Yan'er, and she saved Yan'er's life, and her status is also recognized by me personally, you..."

"I didn't say I didn't admit it, but being a concubine is already too high a level. Isn't it ridiculous for a nine-year-old girl to be the prince's consort?"

Leng Yunchao clenched his fists, his face darkening.

Just as he was about to speak, Xie Zhaoqing, who had been silent, took the opportunity to kneel down and said loudly: "The Queen Mother's reputation is great. I have always felt that Yuan Tang is negligent in discipline and is really unworthy of the great Fifth Prince. It has always been because of the emperor's love that she has made mistakes again and again."

"If you can give way to the Queen, it will be her honor, and also the honor of my whole family."

"What honor? Xie Zhaoqing, are you looking for a fight?"

Leng Yunchao was so angry that he stood up and was about to roll up his sleeves. Situ Qing frowned and shouted, "Yunchao, be quiet and don't make any noise."

Leng Yunchao froze for a moment, then reluctantly sat down.

Situ Qing turned to look at Queen Mother Jiang: "Since you mentioned this, I believe you have a candidate in mind. I wonder which daughter of a wealthy family did you take a fancy to and want to marry her to Yan'er?"

When all the civil and military officials present heard this, they all became nervous.

Some are excited, some are scared.

There are few who are excited, but most who are afraid.

After all, although Situ Yan is much better than before, no one can guarantee his recovery. He was ill not long ago. What if my daughter marries him and is killed by his madness?

Besides...although Xie Yuantang is young, she is cruel!

His own daughter might have been killed by Xie Yuantang before being killed by Situ Yan!

In the silence, Queen Mother Jiang slowly looked at Lu Zishan.

Lu Zishan: “!”
