Xiao Yuchen hugged Jiang Tangxi tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go. He smiled slightly, with determination and persistence in his smile, and said: "I will tell Jiang Tangxi everything, and tell her in front of her if there is anything."

In the hall, the pungent smell of blood filled the air, making people almost nauseous.

The empress dowager standing above was trembling slightly, and her voice had an obvious tremor when she spoke. Her heart was filled with fear of Xiao Yuchen.

Even if Jiang Tangxi was present, she didn't care. She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction and try to divert Xiao Yuchen's attention.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, pointed at Jiang Tangxi and began to loudly accuse her: "Humph, Jiang Tangxi, this unfaithful woman! She has obviously married you, Yu'er, but she still met with Xiao Yuxi in the carriage secretly. Jiang Tangxi, what are you thinking? And... Yu'er... the baby in her belly may not even be yours. Yuchen, don't be so foolish as to make wedding dresses for others!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother looked at Xiao Yuchen with a dazed look in her eyes.

It didn't seem like he was looking at Xiao Yuchen himself! It seemed more like he wanted to see someone through Xiao Yuchen!

The look in his eyes was so infatuated! Obsessed! Crazy!

But Jiang Tangxi didn't notice it!

When Jiang Tangxi heard what the Queen Mother said, she reacted instantly.

Wasn't it just that not long ago that bastard Xiao Yuxi tricked her into getting on the carriage and then talked nonsense there?

Moreover, she had already told Xiao Yuchen everything about this matter. At that time, only that bitch Jiang Jiayun was standing outside the carriage. She must have been jealous and dissatisfied, so she hurriedly found the Empress Dowager, the so-called "big backer", to complain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tangxi was so angry that he should not have shown mercy and should have killed her with a single sword.

Xiao Yuchen immediately noticed the change in Jiang Tangxi's mood, and his hands around Jiang Tangxi's waist tightened unconsciously!

It was as if he was silently comforting her, telling her not to be angry, that he was there for her and he would definitely take care of everything.

Then, Xiao Yuchen's cold eyes shot directly at the Empress Dowager, and he said bluntly: "Humph, Grandmother, is Jiang Jiayun gossiping about you? Moreover, you believe everything she says? Does Grandmother have no brains?"

These words are quite bold and arrogant!

If it were anyone else, they would never dare to say it out loud.

But he is Xiao Yuchen, and no one in this capital city can touch him.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was so angry that she almost passed out, but she didn't dare to really lose her temper.

She tried to calm herself down and said hurriedly, "Why shouldn't I believe her? Besides, Xiao Yunxuan told me before that Jiang Tangxi had met Xiao Yuxi in private, and I also sent people to find out a lot. This is not a rumor!"

The Empress Dowager didn't care whether Jiang Tangxi was present or not at this time, so she just made it clear.

However, there was actually some exaggeration in her words, and only she knew how much of it was true and how much was false.

After hearing this, Jiang Tangxi was not angry. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery.

She secretly sighed in her heart, wondering how such a brainless person could sit on the position of Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother tried to calm herself down. She clenched her fists tightly and trembled slightly. She continued to speak with all her might: "Yuer, the Queen Mother will definitely help you find out about this matter. Don't interfere. The Queen Mother is doing this for your own good."

As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, trying to regain some of her dignity as the empress dowager, but her slightly trembling chin betrayed her inner panic.

A complex emotion flashed across the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she continued, "You should know that my grandmother has experienced much more than you have. She has seen clearly the intrigues and deceptions in the palace. This matter concerns your future and the reputation of our royal family. My grandmother will definitely not sit idly by."

Then, the Queen Mother changed the subject, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Also, you have neglected Zien during this period. Do you know the interests involved? You must understand that if you want to take back the position of Crown Prince, you must have the support of the Shen family. If you continue to neglect Shen Zien like this, I am afraid that you will completely offend the Shen family."

As the Empress Dowager spoke, she pointed in the direction outside the hall, as if Shen Zien was waiting there for Xiao Yuchen to change his mind.

"Yu'er, go back and treat Shen Zien well, spend more time with her, and for the sake of your position as crown prince, don't let Jiang Tangxi fool you anymore."

There was a commanding tone in the Empress Dowager's voice, as if Xiao Yuchen had to obey her arrangements.

When Xiao Yuchen heard these words, the expression on his face became even colder.

His eagle-like sharp eyes stared straight at the Queen Mother, without a trace of warmth in them, as if the Queen Mother was just an insignificant stranger in his eyes.

The powerful aura made the air around them seem to freeze. If an ordinary person had said this, he would have been frightened to the ground or even died by his terrifying eyes.

Xiao Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a strong sense of oppression. He slowly said, "Empress Dowager, what you mean by doing good for me is that you want me to live according to your wishes? Do you really think you understand me?"

His voice was low and powerful, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Xiao Yuchen continued, "The position of the crown prince? Humph, what I, Xiao Yuchen, want, I will naturally fight for it with my own abilities. I don't need to rely on anyone, let alone a woman in exchange for so-called support. What about the Shen family? If they really want to support me, they will naturally take the initiative to approach me instead of threatening me in this way."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yuchen's eyes, and he took a step forward. The powerful aura made the air around him seem to solidify.

He continued, "As for Jiang Tangxi, she is my woman. I know who I like and who I don't like. I will not give up my beloved for any benefit. No one can influence my decision."

Xiao Yuchen's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing the Empress Dowager's heart.

Then, Xiao Yuchen said in an extremely cold tone: "Empress Dowager, you are already old and senile. It seems that you should rest early and stop caring about these things that you shouldn't be caring about. I know my own affairs, and I don't need you to point fingers at me."

After saying that, Xiao Yuchen tightly embraced Jiang Tangxi's slender waist and strode towards the entrance of the hall.

The Queen Mother stood where she was, her well-maintained face distorted by extreme anger.

Her eyes were fixed on the departing backs of Xiao Yuchen and Jiang Tangxi, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
