The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

The carriage soon arrived at the Regent's Palace.

The fake Ouyang Miaoling got off the carriage under the careful care of Nangong Mingxuan.

"Siyu... take your master back to Fengqiyuan first. I have some matters to deal with in the palace."

"Yes"

Siyu hurried forward and took her master's hand from Nangong Mingxuan.

"Your Majesty... then come back soon"

After saying this, the blush on her face faded and she looked at the man in front of her shyly.

"I understand, Princess...I will be back to be with you as soon as possible."

The fake Ouyang Miaoling was very pleased to hear this. The blush on her face instantly rose to her ears. She said softly, "My Lord...you are so bad."

After saying this, she covered her red face with a handkerchief, turned around and trotted back home.

Siyu didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly ran up and caught up with her master.

"Master... why are you blushing like this? Have you been sitting in the carriage for too long and are you carsick?"

The fake "Ouyang Miaoling" did not answer Siyu's question, but walked towards Fengqiyuan, thinking about his own things.

Nangong Mingxuan, who was standing at the door, looked at the woman's departing back with a look of disgust on his face.

He turned around and got into the carriage, immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and kept wiping his hands.

These hands are no longer clean, they have already held the hands of another woman. I wonder if his Ling'er will dislike him if she knows about this.

"My Lord... The princess has changed so much towards you,"

"The princess now acts more like a princess."

Gu Ying was grinning from ear to ear, he was happy for his prince in his heart, his princess finally accepted his prince.

The family finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and was reunited.

"Guying... ask the leader of the guards who escorted the princess back to see me. I have something to ask you."

Gu Ying saw that there was no trace of joy on his own prince's face, but instead it was full of worry.

Although Gu Ying didn't know what had happened, he saw the serious expression on his master's face and knew that something must be wrong. So he didn't dare to delay and quickly ran to find the leader of the guards who had just returned from escorting him.

Royal Palace

Nangong Mingxuan had just returned to the palace where he was reading official documents when he heard the eunuch at the door reporting.

"Your Highness, the Regent, the Queen Mother requests an audience."

What is meant to come will come sooner or later.

However, Nangong Yu was secretly escorted back to the imperial capital. How did the empress dowager find out about it first?

It seems that the Empress Dowager has spies all over the imperial capital. The Empress Dowager and the power behind her should not be underestimated.

"Please let the Queen Mother in."

The Regent gave orders to the eunuch at the door.

Soon the Queen Mother came in with a group of leading eunuchs, maids, and servants, a total of more than twenty people.

This was done deliberately to show off the Queen Mother's majesty and to remind her that she was the most honorable person in Northern Qi.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother. May your Majesty be well and safe."

Nangong Mingxuan also cooperated and gave her face, stepping forward to salute.

"Prince Regent, would you like to invite me in to talk?"

"Your Majesty, please," he said, making a gesture of invitation with his hand.

Supported by the chief eunuch, the Queen Mother swaggered into the palace where the Regent worked.

He walked straight to the main seat in the main hall and sat down.

The maid on duty in the palace was also perceptive and quickly served tea.

He was stopped by an old eunuch on the side, who took the teacup and put the silver needle he had prepared early in the morning into the water to test it. After checking that there was no problem, he held the teacup in both hands and handed it to the empress dowager. The empress dowager took the teacup, took a small sip, and then handed it to the senior eunuch next to her.

It can be said that the empress dowager is showing off to the fullest.

Nangong Mingxuan was not surprised to see this and sat down at the seat below.

"I wonder what instructions the Queen Mother has for me today?"

Nangong Mingxuan didn't beat around the bush with her, but asked directly to the point.

"I came here this time to ask what crime my son committed that angered the regent and led to his arrest by the prince, causing the regent to mobilize the royal guards to guard him?"

"How did the Queen Mother know that the prince had imprisoned Nangong Yu?"

"I...I...Don't worry about where I got the news from. Just tell me why you imprisoned my son."

"If you don't like me and the emperor, you can just issue an order to depose me instead of bullying us orphans and widows in this way."

After saying this indignantly, he still pretended to be a weak person who was bullied.

"Queen Mother... the Second Prince has violated the law of the country. It can't be solved by just someone throwing a tantrum?"

"I hope the Queen Mother will not worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty and spend her remaining years in the harem."

This was a secret reminder to her that throwing a tantrum was useless, and also a reminder to her that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

"My son has been imprisoned by you for no reason, and I can't ask about it?" The empress dowager stood up excitedly and pointed at Nangong Mingxuan and asked.

"Queen Mother... The prince left the imperial capital without reason, which is a violation of the royal law. Based on this alone, I have the right to imprison the second prince."

"You said the emperor left the imperial capital for no reason?... This is impossible. How could the emperor make such a low-level mistake?"

"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe me... you can ask the person who tipped you off, where did I bring the Second Prince back from?"

After hearing what Nangong Mingxuan said, the Queen Mother slumped down in her chair.

"Empress Dowager...Empress Dowager..." The eunuch beside her quickly reminded the Empress Dowager of the purpose of this visit.

The Queen Mother seemed to have come back to her senses from the eunuch's reminder.

"My son has made a mistake and deserves to be punished. I don't blame anyone but myself for not teaching him well. Will the Regent show mercy and allow me to go see him?"

Since we received the news that the Second Prince’s plan had failed and he had been captured by the Regent, we have immediately escorted him back to the capital.

The second prince was secretly escorted to the capital this time, and the place of detention was kept secret.

The Queen Mother mobilized all her spies but was unable to find out where the second prince was imprisoned.

That's why I had to resort to this desperate measure today, risking exposing my strength, in order to find out where the Second Prince was imprisoned.

"Queen Mother...please go back. No one is allowed to see the Second Prince before the three judges have conducted a trial."

"I am the second prince's mother. As a mother, I ask the regent to allow me to see the prince."

She must meet Nangong Yu in person and find out the whole story so that she can find someone to help with the rescue.

"Queen Dowager...please go back...I have said that before the formal trial, no one is allowed to see the Second Prince, not even you, Queen Dowager."

"You...are arrogant"

After saying that, he covered his aching chest with his hands.

The Queen Mother was so angry at Nangong Mingxuan's words that she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

"Empress Dowager...Empress Dowager!" the eunuch beside her shouted in panic.

"What are you all standing there for? Go get the imperial physician!"

The frightened nanny and maid came to their senses.

Some ran to find the imperial physician, while others stepped forward to help him calm down.

"Someone... The Queen Mother has suddenly fallen ill. Hurry and take her back to the bedroom to rest."

At Nangong Mingxuan's command, several young eunuchs rushed in from the door, carried the empress dowager who had fainted on the main seat on her back, and went to the harem.

A large group of maids and old women at the back kept shouting "Empress Dowager". The harem was in chaos because of the Queen Dowager's fainting.
