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

"Your Majesty, my daughter has just recovered. Now she is a little exhausted. I will take care of her and ask Li'er to let her go back to recuperate as soon as possible."

For the sake of her daughter's health, Ouyang Miaoling did not care about anything else and directly interrupted the Queen's meaningless questions.

"Oh...Are you blaming me?" She looked at Ouyang Miaoling sharply.

Ouyang Miaoling was not afraid at all. Her angry eyes met the Queen's gaze directly.

"I dare not! But Li'er's body is too weak and can't withstand long-term torture. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Ouyang Miaoling said with her head down.

The queen snorted coldly: "Hmph, in that case, then I won't ask any more questions. However, Princess Li'er is really pitiful. She has to endure so much pain at such a young age. I hope she can recover soon." After saying that, she glanced at Ouyang Li again, and a hint of imperceptible anger flashed in her eyes.

Ouyang Li bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty. Li'er will recover soon." The Queen waved her hand, indicating that she could leave.

Ouyang Li took a deep breath as if relieved, and slowly left the banquet hall with the help of her maid.

As soon as they left the banquet hall, the little maid asked with concern: "Princess, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ouyang Li shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired, and a little dizzy now. Help me go back and rest, and I'll be fine."

The little maidservant said with a distressed look on her face: "When we went out today, the master repeatedly told me to take good care of the lady. Now the lady almost fainted. It's all my fault..." After she finished speaking, tears of anxiety were about to flow down.

Ouyang Li comforted her, "Don't blame you. We pray that things will be over as soon as possible so that we can return home quickly. We should never attend such occasions again in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble for ourselves." The little maid nodded to show that she understood.

In this way, the master and servant comforted each other, and the little maid helped Ouyang Li back to her previous courtyard to rest.

At the banquet, the Queen was in a bad mood because of Ouyang Miaoling's rude remarks just now. She sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.

When the other ladies saw this, they were so frightened that they dared not speak. They lowered their heads like defeated roosters and focused on eating.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if frozen. Ouyang Miaoling was furious. The originally good return banquet was ruined by the queen, which was extremely disappointing.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Ouyang Miaoling decided to invite dancers to perform to liven up the atmosphere.

Although the queen knew Ouyang Miaoling's intention, she didn't want to go too far, lest she be accused of deliberately finding fault. Therefore, she reluctantly agreed to Ouyang Miaoling's request.

As the sounds of stringed instruments rang out, a group of beautiful dancers walked lightly onto the stage and began to dance.

Their graceful dancing and agile figures attracted the attention of everyone present, making people temporarily forget the previous unpleasantness. The banquet was gradually filled with laughter and the atmosphere became relaxed and joyful.

Just as the banquet was going on happily, the queen's voice as cold as a spring suddenly rang out: "Aunt, why is the prince not here today?" Her words were like a basin of ice water, instantly chilling the atmosphere that had just become lively.

Ouyang Miaoling suppressed the rage burning in her heart, and said in a voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air, "Doesn't the Queen know that the Emperor has already thrown Yi'er into the Heavenly Prison?"

The Queen pretended to be surprised and exclaimed in a delicate voice: "Ah!... I don't know. How can a woman like me who lives deep in the harem know about things of the previous dynasty?" There was clearly a hint of provocation in her words.

Ouyang Miaoling took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to get angry, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know if the Queen really doesn't know, or is she pretending not to know and deliberately coming here to provoke me?"

The queen was so embarrassed by Ouyang Miaoling's retort that she was speechless. She didn't know that Ouyang Miaoling would speak so directly and completely disregard her dignity as the queen.

But she is not easy to mess with. Once she has nothing to say, she will fly into a rage. When the queen gets angry, who can withstand the wrath of the royal family?

So, when the ladies of honor saw that something was not right, they discerningly dismissed the musicians and dancers in a hurry, knelt down, and shouted in unison: "Please calm down, Queen..." Everyone knelt down, except Ouyang Miaoling, who stood out from the crowd.

A kind-hearted lady hurriedly reminded her, grabbed her sleeve, and motioned for her to kneel down and apologize.

However, Ouyang Miaoling was stubborn and stared at the Queen on the throne without moving.

Finally, the Empress felt guilty because of her sharp gaze, and she spoke to ease the tense atmosphere, saying: "Aunt, I have good intentions and care about the Crown Prince. But I really didn't know that the Crown Prince was in trouble and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor. If I had known earlier, I would never have mentioned these unpleasant things in such a happy occasion..."

She deliberately said it again in front of all the ladies, just to make the Regent Princess look bad in front of everyone. Another big reason was that she came to test whether Ouyang Miaoling knew the whereabouts of Ouyang Yi.

Ouyang Miaoling was well aware of her test, but in order to prevent the Queen from plotting against her Li'er behind her back, she chose the stupidest method and confronted the Queen head-on.

Ouyang Miaoling said in a serious and cold voice: "Empress, now that you know, what else do you want?"

The queen also instantly stopped smiling and said with sarcasm, "Yier, you are actually a good child. It's just that you haven't had your mother by your side for these years and you haven't been disciplined enough. That's why you are in this situation today. You put yourself in danger. Shouldn't the imperial aunt feel guilty for her previous behavior?"

The Queen was deliberately rubbing salt into Ouyang Miaoling's wounds by deliberately bringing up the thing he was most reluctant to mention. This made her furious for a moment, and she said angrily, "Queen...you are overreaching. It is not your turn to intervene in the affairs of my Regent Palace, right? How I educate my children is also my business."

"This princess has always believed that my Yi'er is the most intelligent and brave child in the world. The reason why she is in the prison today is that she was wrongly accused. This princess also believes that the emperor will give justice to my Yi'er sooner or later. This princess hopes that no matter whether it is the queen or the ladies in the court, they will stop criticizing my Yi'er behind her back. If this princess hears it, she will bear the consequences herself."

“This princess believes, and hopes everyone believes, that my Yi’er will definitely come back safely, and those who have suppressed him and misunderstood him will eventually pay the price…” After she finished speaking, it caused quite a stir in the audience. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
