Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Emperor Shunde turned around and looked at her, his dark face was exactly the same as Xuanyuan Che's: "Are you threatening me, Queen?"

Empress Cao was speechless. Having lived together with her husband for so many years, how could she not see that Emperor Shunde was unhappy? But Xuanyuan Yue in her arms was still crying and begging her to make the decision. She had always loved this little daughter, so how could she remain indifferent?

She was angry and her words were a little out of line: "Yes, how could I forget that Yue'er is not that man's child after all, so how could Your Majesty care about it? If it was that man's child, I think Your Majesty would not hesitate to search the entire palace for it."

“How dare you!” Emperor Shunde roared, scaring the palace maids and eunuchs who were busy rescuing people from the water so much that they dropped their things and knelt down.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"

Emperor Shunde walked towards her, and under the light of the fire, his whole body was dyed red, which was extremely terrifying.

"Queen, please don't challenge my patience. I have given you everything you want. As a person, don't be too greedy."

Empress Cao tightened her grip on Xuanyuan Yue's arm, causing Xuanyuan Yue to scream in pain, but she seemed unaware.

"I don't understand what the emperor is saying."

Emperor Shunde looked at her with a deep gaze, and turned away without saying anything else.

Only then did Xuanyuan Yue dare to raise her head from Queen Cao's arms and said cautiously, "Mother, is Father angry?"

Empress Cao looked down at her and said, "Your father has always been like this."

He said this without saying anything else.

Although Xuanyuan Yue was domineering, he did so in front of others.

In front of Emperor Shunde and Empress Cao, she was somewhat restrained. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she did not dare to lose her temper. She could only sob and curl up in Empress Cao's arms.

The palace maids poured buckets of water into the fire, but the fire did not subside. As time went by, Xuanyuan Yue, who had been calm, became a little anxious.

She had many jewels and toys that she liked in the palace, but she didn't bring them with her when she came out. She thought the fire could be controlled, but when she saw that the palace was almost burned to ashes, she looked around and saw that Emperor Shunde was not there, so she shouted, "Someone come! Someone come!"

Seeing her agitated, Empress Cao thought she was feeling unwell and asked quickly, "Yuer? What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Yue was only concerned with calling people and did not respond to Queen Cao's words.

The two young eunuchs were called over by Xuanyuan Yue. Their faces were black and white, and they were holding buckets in their hands. It was obvious that they were going to fetch water, but were called over by Xuanyuan Yue halfway.

The two young eunuchs put down their buckets and greeted them respectfully: "Your servants greet the Queen and the Third Princess."

Xuanyuan Yue pointed at the Lanyue Palace, where flames were shooting up into the sky, and ordered sternly, "Go! Go in and take out my jewels!"

"This..." The two young eunuchs were so frightened that they trembled all over, crawling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please spare our lives, Princess. The fire is too big. If we rush in, we will die."

"Stupid slaves! What use are you? You don't even dare to do such a small thing! I'll beat you to death!" Xuanyuan Yue became more and more excited as she spoke. She raised her hand to slap someone, but Queen Cao grabbed her.

"Yue'er!"

Queen Cao roared angrily, extremely harshly.

Xuanyuan Yue was so angry at her that she glared and tears started to fall: "Mother, you are so mean to me."

As she shed tears, Empress Cao could not bear to lecture her, and said, "Those jewels are just external possessions. Your mother will not care about you no matter how you act on weekdays, but you are not allowed to act like a spoiled child in front of your father."

Empress Cao didn't care about the life or death of the two eunuchs, but she couldn't let Xuanyuan Yue lose her favor.

"My father is obviously not here, and I don't know what my mother is worried about!" Xuanyuan Yue thought of what happened during the day, shook off Queen Cao's hand and turned away angrily.

"you......"

As soon as Empress Cao said "you", the voice of Emperor Shunde interrupted her.

"I'm just leaving for a while, what's the matter?"

Hearing his voice, Empress Cao's face changed, and she quickly waved her hand to tell the two eunuchs to go back to work, then smiled and said, "Nothing, Yue'er is worried about the jewels in her palace, and she is angry with me."

Emperor Shunde snorted coldly: "Throwing a tantrum? Why are you still throwing a tantrum at this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yue turned around with tears in her eyes and a face full of anger.

"Father doesn't love Yue'er at all. He only knows how to scold Yue'er. Yue'er hates you!"

With a loud "bang", Xuanyuan Yue's face was slapped hard.

Empress Cao's hands were shaking, and regret flashed across her delicately made-up face. She gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Don't be unreasonable in front of your father!"

"Mother?" Xuanyuan Yue covered her face and looked at her in disbelief: "You hit me?"

Aunt Li stepped forward and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Xuanyuan Yue hysterically told her to get out.

The unreasonable look made Emperor Shunde frown.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

When Zhao Zhen's message was uttered, Empress Cao couldn't help but tremble the hands hidden in her sleeves, and her originally calm expression completely collapsed at this moment.

The corners of her eyes were twitching wildly, and her lavender-red eyebrows were full of viciousness that could not be concealed. She turned her back, trying hard to suppress the hatred in her heart, and then turned around with an ugly smile.

"Why is Che'er here?"

Turning her head to look at Emperor Shunde who was not surprised, she felt bitter in her heart, but still forced herself to speak out against her will: "Your Majesty, too, just ask the palace maids to put out the fire. It's so late, why bother calling Che'er over."

She pretended to be a loving mother, but Xuanyuan Che didn't even look at her, let alone reply.

Empress Cao got the cold shoulder, her fingernails on her sleeves dug into her flesh, causing her excruciating pain. The smile she had managed so hard to force was about to fail to maintain.

"It's a pity that this Moon-Lanling Palace, which is worth millions of gold, is destroyed like this."

Xuanyuan Che looked at the raging fire in front of him and shook his head regretfully.

Mei Susu poked out a pair of small eyes from Xuanyuan Che's cloak, and her mouth opened in amazement at the fire that lit up half the sky.

She had seen the Lanyue Palace before. There were innumerable treasures inside. It was such a pity that it was gone now.

She smacked her lips and set her eyes on Xuanyuan Yue who was standing beside Queen Cao.

At this moment, she had lost the beauty she had during the day. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she was only wearing a brocade robe. Her eyes were swollen from crying.

The sharp-eyed Mei Susu also found slap marks on her face. Oh, was she beaten?

After Xuanyuan Che arrived, Emperor Shunde's expression eased a little, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity indeed."

He turned around, looked at Xuanyuan Yue who was sobbing and asked, "I didn't ask you just now, what's going on?"

If the Crown Prince hadn't come, she wouldn't have asked anything. But as soon as the Crown Prince came, she began to interrogate him. Seeing this, the last bit of Empress Cao's smile disappeared, and she stood in front of Xuanyuan Yue and said, "Yue'er was frightened tonight, but it's just a trivial matter. Your Majesty may ask again tomorrow."

"Ha!" Xuanyuan Che sneered.

"This murder of the princess and the burning of the palace is no small matter. Seeing my sister crying so miserably, I think she has suffered a great injustice. If we delay for a while, the thief will live longer. I think this matter cannot be delayed any longer."
