As soon as the emperor stepped into the Cining Palace, he saw Jun Feimo standing there like a log.

He frowned, and spoke in a low and dignified voice, with a hint of reproach: "You have achieved something. You actually made the Queen Mother faint from anger."

After saying that, he slowly walked closer, looked at his brother in front of him with complicated eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Jun Feimo's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then he lowered his head, "Brother, our mother...actually threatened me with a hunger strike, and even wanted to kill Xier just now."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew very well how strong and domineering his mother was, so he was not surprised by what happened today.

However, when he heard that his mother wanted to kill Murong Zixi, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

After all, the Queen Mother has always loved Jun Feimo, and she didn't expect that her attitude would be so firm this time.

"My mother has always been like this. She wants to control everything, especially you. She cares about you very much and is afraid that something might go wrong.

Besides, she has always loved you very much, so naturally she hopes that your princess can match you and become a good couple."

The emperor sighed, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and understanding.

Jun Feimo raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes. "Is identity really that important? As long as the woman I like has a bad reputation, what does it matter? I don't care, and I don't know why my mother is making a fuss."

The emperor smiled slightly, patted Jun Feimo on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Feimo, in my mother's opinion, women should not only have good moral character, but also be knowledgeable and sensible, and abide by the three obediences and four virtues.

In fact, when you were at the border and had not yet returned, your mother was already looking for a suitable woman to be your war princess."

Jun Feimo frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't like it, and no one can force me."

"My mother won't force you, but Murong Zixi..."

Jun Feimo's body stiffened. Will the queen mother attack Xier?

Jun Feimo snorted coldly and sneered: "Humph! No one can hurt Xier, not even my mother. I will protect her."

The emperor raised his eyebrows. He knew his mother's methods. She would use any means to achieve her goals. He hoped that his mother would not go too far, otherwise he didn't know what trouble his younger brother would cause.

Jun Feimo said coldly: "Princess Heshun has nothing to do with the so-called standards of my mother, and she has brought shame to the royal family, but my mother still protects her."

The emperor's eyes became deep, and he said softly: "Heshun is different, she was raised by our mother, and our mother protects her very much.

As the God of War of Dongyang State, you shoulder greater responsibilities and missions. Your mother loves you so much that she would never tolerate a woman with a bad reputation becoming your princess."

"Brother Emperor, I will hand over my military power and become a leisurely prince."

"Nonsense!!! Not to mention that my mother disagrees, I won't agree either. You are my right-hand man. If you give up your military power for a woman and become an idle prince, I will be the first to kill her without my mother's help."

Jun Feimo's eyes turned cold, and he looked at his royal brother in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.

"Royal brother!" he said coldly.

The emperor did not change his mind because of his anger. He just glanced at Jun Feimo calmly and said, "Look how anxious you are. Don't get close to Murong Zixi in the near future, otherwise it will only make my mother dislike her more.

Marquis Zhongyi and his men will soon be back from the border. This time, Marquis Zhongyi's father and three generations have helped you defeat Xiliang. They have made great contributions. I will reward them handsomely and confer the title of Old Duke on them. The Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion will be transformed into the Duke's Mansion.

Murong Zixi is the granddaughter of Marquis Zhongyi, so naturally her status will rise and she will become a real noble lady. I believe that by then, the Queen Mother will not reject her so much."

Hearing this, Jun Feimo's eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought to himself, if this were true, then everything would be different.

The emperor saw the change in his expression and could not help but laugh and scold: "You are becoming more and more useless!"

Jun Feimo's lips curled up, but his eyes were still shining with excitement.

The emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, get out of the palace. It's annoying to see your useless appearance. I have to go in and see how my mother is doing." After saying that, he turned and walked into the palace.

Jun Feimo seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and finally just nodded silently.

So he turned around, took firm and powerful steps, and strode out of the Cining Palace.

The emperor walked slowly into the hall, his posture was upright and his steps were steady. He walked to the side and sat down, placing his hands lightly on the armrests, his eyes deep and solemn, as if he was immersed in deep thought.

A moment later, an imperial physician walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing the emperor coming, he immediately knelt down and saluted.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up. How is the Queen Mother's condition?"

The imperial physician replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother fell into a coma due to extreme anger and poor blood circulation. I have already given her acupuncture and she will wake up soon. In addition, I have prepared a prescription that can help the Queen Mother get rid of her anger and calm her down."

"Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven. As long as you take care of yourself for a few days, you will be able to recover as before."

Hearing this news, the emperor felt relieved and waved his hand, signaling the imperial physician to leave.

The imperial physician bowed and left.

No matter what, the Queen Mother was his biological mother after all. The Emperor was relieved to hear that she was fine.

Peace returned to the hall once again.

The emperor stood up and slowly walked towards the empress dowager's bedroom.

When he entered the bedroom, a group of palace maids knelt down to salute him, and Heshun also hurriedly saluted the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Heshun calmly and said in a calm tone: "It's getting late now."

Upon hearing this, Princess Heshun curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Yes, it's getting late, I should leave the palace."

After saying this, Heshun bowed and left the bedroom.

Princess Heshun walked while tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand, thinking to herself: "Hmph, even if the emperor and Jun Feimo don't like me, so what? I have my mother to protect me."

On the other side, Murong Zixi felt that her legs were about to collapse from exhaustion.

When she came here, she took the palace carriage, but now there is no carriage to take her out of the palace.

She had been walking for half an hour and was exhausted.

After all, this body had always been pampered and had never experienced such a long walk.

Murong Zixi really couldn't walk anymore, so she walked to the side of the road, sat down, and prepared to have a good rest.

At this moment, the carriage driven by Tianyi came rapidly.

From a distance, Tianyi saw Murong Zixi sitting on the side of the road.

He suddenly realized that Miss Murong had just left the palace on foot.

Tianyi hurriedly told the people in the carriage: "Master, Miss Murong is in front!"

Immediately afterwards, the carriage made a crisp sound of horse hooves and stopped steadily in front of Murong Zixi.

A deep voice came from inside the carriage: "Get in."

Murong Zixi was stunned. She slowly stood up. At this moment, she really felt exhausted. Her legs felt as heavy as if they were pressed down by lead blocks. She really didn't want to continue walking.

So she got on the carriage without hesitation.

Entering the carriage, Murong Zixi immediately saw Jun Feimo sitting there quietly with his eyes closed.

Seeing this scene, she walked silently to the corner and sat down.

The entire carriage was filled with a quiet yet eerie atmosphere.

With a whip crack from Tianyi, the carriage started again, and the sound of rolling wheels broke the silence.

Although the car body was shaking slightly, the interior was still dead silent and suffocating.

At this moment, Xiaobai's voice suddenly rang in Murong Zixi's mind: "Oh, Master, why is this man closing his eyes and ignoring you now? This shouldn't be the case. When we were in the Cining Palace before, he tried his best to protect you!"

Murong Zixi lowered her head and responded in a low voice: "Maybe he has figured it out." After saying that, she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart.
