Mei Shumin raised her head proudly. What was there to be afraid of now? Her husband still loved her, her brother and nephew from her natal family were still alive, and her son had recovered his health. A woman's greatest confidence comes from her husband and son, as well as her father and brothers from her natal family. After all, they are men. Now she has all of these. What is there to be afraid of?

"You, you are..." The queen was horrified to find that she was the real Mei Shumin, not the fake one she had found.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for not killing me back then." Mei Shumin bent her knees slightly and saluted sarcastically.

If I had decisively killed her and announced her death back then, she would never have come back. Even if she was alive, she could only change her name and survive in another way. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, at least I couldn't take revenge in person like I do now. The feeling of stepping on the enemy is really soothing.

The queen was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. The nanny who followed her hurriedly supported her. The queen shouted loudly outside the palace, "Someone come, someone, drag this bitch away and beat her to death, someone come quickly."

No matter how she shouted, the guards outside the door did not move. All her men had been replaced. The emperor had given the guards a death order that their current master was Noble Lady Ya, and all their actions were to obey Noble Lady Ya's orders.

"Rebellion, you are all going to rebel. How dare you disobey my orders? Someone, come quickly!" The queen was unwilling and continued to shout loudly, but panic and fear were spreading in her heart. She was a little scared and panicked. She shouted for people to go out. She wanted to maintain her face and find out what was going on.

"I will go to the Emperor right now. How dare a mere noblewoman disobey the Empress?"

After saying these harsh words, he hurried to the Empress Dowager's palace.

In Fenghe Palace where the Queen Mother lived, all the guards outside had been replaced. When they saw the Queen Mother arriving, no one saluted. Guards were not required to salute while on duty. The Queen Mother did not care and hurried into the palace. The Queen Mother was sitting in a side hall.

She was not surprised to see the queen coming. Based on her years of experience living in the palace, she knew that things were going to change in the Kingdom of Nanyue and the Pan family would soon lose power. She had already been placed under house arrest by the emperor in Fenghe Palace.

"Please sit down." Looking at the flustered queen, the queen mother just lightly told her to sit down.

"Mother, aunt," the queen asked anxiously. What had happened? The empress dowager, who had been so radiant in the past, now looked decadent and haggard, not much better than an ordinary peasant woman.

"Arong, our Pan family is finished. Your brother is probably in great danger," the empress dowager called the queen by her childhood nickname and said calmly.

"How could that be? How could that be? I received a letter from my brother yesterday saying that an uprising would take place on the Moonlit Night. I have been preparing for tomorrow's palace banquet for a long time. I originally planned to announce the emperor's abdication and Yu'er's ascension to the throne at the banquet."

Yes, their original plan was to have Wen Xi increase the dosage of the emperor's medicine, making him unconscious in front of all the ministers and their families on the day of the Moon Festival palace banquet, and then announce that Liu Jingcheng would temporarily be the regent, and then announce that the emperor had died of poisoning fifteen days later. The poisoner was identified as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was dissatisfied with being married to a fool prince and resentful, so she poisoned the emperor.

During the banquet, they would have created an opportunity to poison her, but nothing had been done yet, so why did the Queen Mother say it was not possible?

"Mother, no, everything is going smoothly. My brother will be fine." The Queen did not believe the Queen Mother's words. How could she believe such ridiculous words?

She returned to her Fengxiang Palace, took out the letter from her brother that she had received yesterday and read it over and over again. The letter urged her to cooperate well and be cautious so as not to ruin things.

The Pan family has many followers, and none of the ministers have been in any harm. Feng Mojian’s broken leg before was just an accident now.

As for Mei Shumin, it was that bastard who was responsible. He came that day just to get her back, nothing more.

The queen comforted herself again and again, finding all kinds of reasons and excuses, and then wrote a letter to her brother, sending someone to deliver it to her brother immediately. Then she made sure to ask for a reply.

Naturally, the Xinhe people fell into Liu Jingcheng's hands as soon as they left Huicheng. They drove all the way back, trying to arrive in Huicheng at night so that they could easily attend the palace banquet tomorrow. There was a good show waiting for the Queen.

Hua Xiyu had a very comfortable time these days. During the day, he went to the palace to play with the two children, taught them to recognize words, learn mathematics, astronomy and geography, told the children about the future world and fairy tales. In short, he wanted to make up for the five years he had missed. In the evening, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and watched Qingxing and other maids busy embroidering her wedding dress.

In fact, it would be enough to just buy one, why go through so much trouble, said Aunt Zhang, "These wedding dresses are embroidered by the women themselves, why would they ask others for help."

After teaching Hua Xiyu the palace rules, Grand Matron Zhang followed him. In the palace, there was a vacancy for every person, and once one left, someone else would immediately fill it. Grand Matron Zhang was reluctant to go back, as she felt much more comfortable outside. Due to her status as a girl from the palace, the maids under her respected her very much. It was so good that she only had to deal with one master every day. It was nothing like in the palace, where everyone who looked up and down at the door was a master. Even though some masters did not live as well as she did, they were still masters, and she had to greet them politely.

Today is the Moon Festival Palace Banquet. Normally, people enter the palace before 9:00 and have a simple lunch in the palace. There will be some activities in the afternoon, which are nothing more than talent competitions. Girls, in particular, have to show themselves and get more people's attention in order to have a chance to find a good husband. Just listening to what the matchmaker and parents say is not as intuitive as seeing it with your own eyes.

The content of the competition is varied, and it all depends on what kind of daughter-in-law each mistress wants to find. Of course, there are also some young men who are simply ignorant of the world and just want to have fun.

After all, they are all at the age of junior high school and high school students, and it is their nature to be playful.

When the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived, it caused quite a stir. Firstly, the Prime Minister was a powerful official and many people wanted to curry favor with him. Secondly, the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion married into the royal family, which made many families jealous, especially the eldest daughter Hua Qianyu. She had lived in Shuiyue Temple for ten years, so how could she marry Prince Hong as soon as she came back?

When she jumped into the river in front of so many people in Prince Xuan's palace, everyone thought she was absolutely dead, but when they turned around, she came back safe and sound.

And then, she was pushed into the lake at her own welcoming banquet. As a result, the person who pushed her into the water had his throat cut, but she herself came out of Liushuangyuan unharmed.

When the assassin came, she disregarded her own life and tried her best to save the young princess and the young prince of the Prince's Mansion. Many people did not witness the unique skills she displayed. At that time, most people were driven into the reception room by Fu Tingyi. Only a few brave people who were watching the excitement outside saw it. Most people just heard about it and did not quite believe it.

The various rumors about this young lady became more and more outrageous in the upper circles. The young ladies who had been humiliated by her before did not dare to provoke her again, but they would not be willing to be bullied in vain and would always find ways to retaliate.

It was just after 3 p.m. when we arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence. Everyone had finished lunch and were finding a place to rest in the palace.

It is also very pleasant to take a nap in the flowers in the early autumn afternoon. Xie Zhiyi, the little girl of the Xie family, found a place where no one was around and lay comfortably in the flowers to sleep. Seeing Hua Xiyu coming over here, she quickly covered her face and secretly left a gap for her eyes. She wanted to see who she was going to deal with this time.

Zhao Renan, who was punished last time, lost two front teeth. He originally wanted to cancel the marriage, but now he dare not do so. A man without front teeth is too ugly. Who would be willing to marry him?

Miss Zheng San originally wanted to snatch away her sister's marriage, but when she saw that Zhao Ren'an had no front teeth, she gave up the idea instantly. She felt that she was not brave enough to face a man who had lost his teeth in his teens for the rest of his life.

Hua Xiyu quickly found Chunliu and the two kids in the crowd. Just like in previous banquets, he gave the two kids a bug and asked them to go to crowded places, stick it on trees, under tables, or on pillars. It didn't matter where, as long as there were people gathering, he would put one there. Then he wanted to find a secluded place, look through the recordings, and collect information from each family and mansion.

She hadn't figured out what to do with them, she was just collecting them out of habit, maybe she would need them someday.

Now, she heard the secret.
