As if Xuanyuan Che had hit the nail on the head, Empress Cao looked visibly flustered.

But she still pretended to be calm and replied: "I came here today to ask about Yue'er. I don't know what you mean by "standing up for the weak."

Xuanyuan Che had wasted enough time with her and had long lost his patience.

"Why does the Queen Mother have to pretend to be nice to me? We all know what the Queen Mother is doing here."

His smiling eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were dark and full of disgust: "If the Queen breaks into the East Palace like this again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The honorific has disappeared, which shows that he has lost interest in acting with it.

"Zhuiying, see the guest off."

Xuanyuan Che mercilessly ordered them to leave.

Many people present gasped at that moment.

They all lowered their heads as if they had seen a ghost.

The only person who dares to order the Queen to leave is probably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It would be a great honor to see such a scene once in a lifetime.

Zhui Ying clasped his fists and walked to Empress Cao with a stern face. He was not afraid of her identity at all and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, please."

Empress Cao wanted to have a fit, but before she could do so, Zhuiying, whether intentionally or unintentionally, slightly turned her body.

The black jade pendant on the ground overlapped with the shadow of the dead guard and caught the eyes of Queen Cao.

It made his heart palpitate silently.

She asked someone to pick up the jade pendant, then turned around and left with a heavy heart.

Zhuiying called her, "Empress."

Empress Cao turned around with a livid face, her eyes gleaming with coldness as if she wished she could cut Zhuiying into pieces.

Zhuiying didn't care at all. He pointed at the dead guard on the ground with an expressionless face and reminded her: "The Queen forgot something."

Empress Cao glared at Zhui Ying fiercely, gritted her teeth and said to the guards, "What are you just standing there for! Are you waiting for me to carry someone away?"

The guards rushed forward and lifted the man up.

Before leaving, Empress Cao was probably furious, so she threw a harmless remark to Zhui Ying: "Tell Xuanyuan Che not to be complacent, or he may capsize in a ditch one day and never be able to get back on his feet."

Zhuiying chuckled. He didn't know whether his master would capsize, but some people would.

After leaving Chaoyang Palace, the queen was shaking with anger.

The palace maids didn't dare to go up and bring bad luck upon themselves, so they all stayed away.

Empress Cao took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Madam Zhou."

A woman in dark blue palace clothes who had been following behind Empress Cao stepped forward and replied respectfully, "The old servant is here."

"Did you see the appearance of that little beast clearly?" A hint of viciousness flashed in Queen Cao's eyes.

"Look carefully, it's the same as in the painting." A vicious look also flashed in Nanny Zhou's eyes.

The master and servant looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

Nanny Zhou helped Empress Cao onto the sedan chair.

Queen Cao raised her jade hand and gently adjusted the golden hairpin on her head. In just two sentences, she had completely regained her former calm and cool appearance.

"I was wondering why Xuanyuan Che would target Yue'er. It turns out that it was that little bastard who caused the trouble and harmed Yue'er. He is trying to help that little bastard get away with it."

Madam Zhou echoed, "Madam, looking at the prince's actions today, it is indeed as the rumors say, he cares a lot about that little beast."

"That's great. Since Xuanyuan Che destroyed my Yue'er, I will destroy his most precious thing." Queen Cao narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up as if she thought of something. Her smile was sinister and terrifying.

Nanny Zhou also smiled, but then her face turned worried: "Madam, the Crown Prince has obviously discovered what the Third Prince did. He won't really do anything bad to the Third Prince, will he?"

Hearing this, the smile on Queen Cao's face slowly faded. She looked straight ahead with some worry in her eyes.

After a while, she said, "Feng'er, take my badge and go find some powerful warriors outside. Find more. No matter how powerful Xuanyuan Che's subordinates are, they can't defeat ten of them alone."

Madam Zhou responded, "Madam, would you please inform His Majesty about this?"

Empress Cao looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't like the Crown Prince. If he knew that it was the Crown Prince's cat that caused the fire in the Moon-Blanching Palace, he would definitely hate the Crown Prince even more. If the Queen mentions the feud between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince intentionally or unintentionally, and diverts the blame, how long can he remain the Crown Prince?"

Nanny Zhou said this in a very low voice, and only she and Empress Cao could hear it.

Empress Cao seemed to be in deep thought for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was as beautiful as a hundred flowers in full bloom, and there was a hint of triumph in her eyes, as if she had already seen Xuanyuan Che's miserable appearance being trampled under her feet.

"It may not be true that Your Majesty hates the Crown Prince, but Your Majesty hates that man." Empress Cao laughed sweetly, "It's a good idea."

The master and servant walked further and further away as they talked.

However, they did not notice that on the wall where they were walking, there was a black cat with golden eyes flashing and looking at them coldly as they walked away.

Xue Chen was kidnapped by Xuanyuan Che again and brought to Su Su for treatment.

Xuanyuan Che let him go only after he repeatedly assured her that Su Su's injuries had not worsened.

Mei Susu nestled in Xuanyuan Che's arms and accompanied him in dealing with memorials.

Mei Susu likes the time she spends alone with Xuanyuan Che the most. It is different from the feeling at night. When he handles government affairs, she nestles in his arms and feels a different kind of warmth.

During this time, Mei Susu was bored, so she stretched out her claws to hook the tassel hanging from Xuanyuan Che's neck, and then played with it by herself.

Before they could play for a few minutes, Suizi was taken away by Xuanyuan Che. Then he put down the folding paper and picked her up, his eyes gentle: "Are you bored?"

Mei Susu was naturally bored, but she knew her priorities. She didn't want to disturb Xuanyuan Che from handling government affairs, so she jumped out of his arms and curled up obediently on the cushion on the table.

He just raised his little head and stared at Xuanyuan Che.

Xuanyuan Che smiled and reached out to touch the hair on Mei Susu's back, then he couldn't let go and touched it again and again.

"Susu is so well behaved, how about I reward Susu with a gift?"

There are rewards!

Mei Susu cheered up.

No wonder Xuanyuan Che called her a little money-grubber. Her eyes lit up when she heard there was a reward. She was definitely a little money-grubber.

Before Mei Susu could get close to her and flatter her, Xuanyuan Che had already picked up a brocade box from the table. It was square, one finger wide and three fingers long, and looked like a round object.

Then, under Mei Susu's eager gaze, Xuanyuan Che opened the brocade box and took out the items inside.

Then, in front of Mei Susu's astonished eyes, he put the object around her neck.
