Qin Zehai originally wanted to scare him so that he would know the seriousness of the matter, but when he saw his sorrowful look as if he was about to die, he couldn't bear it.

Qin Fengtian is a simple man, he does whatever the queen asks him to do, and he has been like this since he was a child. But he is no longer the child he used to be, he has his own ideas and plans.

Qin Zehai was afraid that pushing too hard would backfire.

He patted Qin Fengtian on the shoulder and comforted him, "The Queen has always loved you. If you kowtow and admit your mistake, and then say a few nice words to coax her, she will definitely forgive you."

"Really?" A smile finally appeared on Qin Fengtian's face full of hatred and resentment.

But then I thought, is it really that easy to end this embarrassing incident? When the queen mother is angry, no one can appease her.

His face fell again and he looked up at the plaque that read "Zhongcui Palace". The more he looked at it, the more those three words looked like "Yam Luo Palace".

Qin Zehai smiled and said, "When has the emperor's uncle ever lied to you?"

"That's right." Qin Fengtian grinned, feeling relieved.

After bidding farewell to Qin Zehai, Qin Fengtian entered Zhongcui Palace.

The queen had already dismissed all the palace servants, and the palace was silent.

Qin Fengtian swallowed nervously and slowed down his pace.

Walking inside, his eyes fell on a large carved screen with a phoenix facing the sky.

Wisps of cigarette smoke wafted out from behind the screen, and the rich aroma of benzoin entered my nose.

Qin Fengtian lowered his head, pushed aside the hanging curtain, walked around the screen and entered the inner room.

The queen lay on her side on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, one hand supporting her head, the other rubbing her temple, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Mother." Qin Fengtian called tentatively.

The queen slowly opened her eyes and saw that he had closed them again. She said nothing, but her breathing became noticeably heavier.

Qin Fengtian went over Qin Zehai's words in his mind.

As long as he has a better attitude and admits his mistakes, his mother will definitely forgive him!

Um! That's right!

He clenched his fist, full of confidence.

"Mother, I know I was wrong." Qin Fengtian lowered his head very low, "I shouldn't have disobeyed your order, shouldn't have met with Miss Nian in private, and shouldn't... shouldn't have been seen in public."

After saying this, he raised his eyes to look at the queen, then quickly lowered them.

The Queen Mother's reaction was indifferent, as if she didn't hear what he said.

But he reflected on his journey from leaving the house to entering the palace, and found that the mistakes he made were just these few. Could it be that he missed something?

He was racking his brains and thinking hard when the queen suddenly spoke.

"Tian'er, I have been worrying about you for so many years. I have arranged everything for you in detail and paved the way for you with great pains, fearing that you would be too thoughtful and be harmed by others. I have done enough." The queen sighed, opened her eyes and stared at her son quietly. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed.

She worked hard, took every step carefully, and was very cautious. What was she seeking? Just to let her son sit in the supreme position.

It would be fine if her son hadn't made any progress in all these years. She would have arranged everything and helped him get to the top, but now her son dared to disobey her! If he dared to disobey her today, she would cut off the mother-son relationship tomorrow.

She couldn't let this happen, otherwise all her years of hard work would be ruined.

The queen clenched her five fingers tightly, and she didn't feel any pain even when her nails dug into her palms. This pain was far less than her heartache!

Qin Fengtian: "Yes, I have seen everything that the Queen Mother has done for me."

Seeing that he still didn't understand what she meant, the queen continued, "Now that you've grown up, if you don't want me to control you, I'll give in to you and just let go of you. You can do whatever you want, and I won't say a word."

The more Qin Fengtian listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did his mother say that she was going to sever ties with him? She also said that she would not care about him anymore!

How could this be possible! Without his mother’s help in arranging relationships in the court, he would have no place to stand, let alone compete with Qin Junyu.

He clenched his fists and knelt straight down, "Mother, I really know I was wrong. Please don't scare me by saying such things, okay?"

He reached out to pull the queen's sleeve, but the queen pulled back and he missed.

The queen sat up, smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, and said in a calm and distant tone, "You can go back. I have nothing to say, and I will not summon you again in the future."

Qin Fengtian was anxious and afraid. He quickly crawled forward on his knees and grabbed the queen's arm with both hands, "Mother!"

He really didn't expect things to be so serious.

The emperor's uncle clearly said that as long as he was willing to admit his mistake, everything would be fine. But the attitude of the queen mother made it clear that she wanted to cut off all ties with him!

"Mother, you can beat me or scold me, I accept it, but...but you can't just ignore me!" Qin Fengtian almost cried. "Mother loves me the most, she will not bear to see me deal with Qin Junyu alone, right?"

He was so scared that he even moved Qin Junyu out. The matter involved a fight for the crown prince, and he felt that his mother would not let go so easily.

The queen glanced at him, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she quickly returned to her cold look.

She leaned down and stared at Qin Fengtian.

Qin Fengtian felt the pressure and gaze above his head, and involuntarily raised his head slowly.

The two looked at each other, one was anxious and the other was gloomy and calm.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Tian'er, let me ask you a question. Do you really want to compete for the throne?"

When the topic shifted to the fight for the throne, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and even the air around them became quiet.

Qin Fengtian withdrew his hand, lowered his head tremblingly, and kept repeating in his heart: I don’t want to.

He didn't want to, but his mother wanted him to be the crown prince.

He didn't want to disappoint his mother. He wanted to get what his mother wanted as much as possible, so he nodded firmly, "Yes."

Anyway, with the queen mother around, he can live a carefree life even if he becomes the crown prince in the future.

After asking this question, the queen was almost exhausted. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

She looked at her son, who looked so pitiful as if he had done something wrong, and couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

She helped Qin Fengtian up, her tone gentle, returning to her usual motherly image, "Tian'er, if you still want me to help you, you have to promise not to meet Miss Nian again. Can you do it?"

Qin Fengtian was stunned. His uncle had also asked this question outside the door. He was indeed the person who knew his mother best.

He was unable to choose an answer in front of his uncle, and the same was true in front of his mother.

He had many concerns, not least because he was still frightened after seeing her scary side.

But if I just avoid Nian Qiao Yue like this, will she think that I am the kind of person who judges people by their appearance?

When I saw her unrecognizable face, I didn't want to associate with her anymore.

This is not what a real man does. He cannot ruin the tall and majestic image of himself in Nian Qiaoyue's heart.

Even though he thought so, he couldn't let Nian Qiaoyue know!
