I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Mu Qingyan really didn't want to watch the mother and son interacting with each other. The two of them were sitting, but she and Yuzhan were still standing!

But there's nothing we can do, they are royal family and have a noble status!

This evil feudal system!

If she was given a stool to sit on and eat the melon, she wouldn't be so resentful!

Queen Mother Lan looked unhappy. "Although Yunxi has a flamboyant personality, he is also a man of propriety. Could it be that he said something that offended your royal brother?"

Emperor Jianning snorted coldly, "A man with sense of propriety would say something so outrageous as to say that the marriage I granted was not an imperial decree, but a death warrant!"

"What!" Empress Dowager Lan's first reaction was to look at Mu Qingyan. She must have gonessiped!

Emperor Jianning glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to look at her. I heard these words with my own ears! No one else is gossiping about them!"

Queen Mother Lan's angry expression began to ease, and her tone became much softer, "Yunxi offended Your Majesty with her words, so she should be punished, but let her go back to her own palace and kneel. She has lost face, and it will not look good in front of Your Majesty, right?"

Emperor Jianning refused to budge. "I don't care about my face, but I'm afraid that my mother will lose face. If this gets to the ears of the censor, it's possible that something will happen again. What if someone takes advantage of it and guesses the Queen Mother's intention of asking me to grant a marriage? After all, the women who were granted marriages before didn't make it into Prince Ling's mansion alive!"

Queen Mother Lan was very angry, but she didn't dare show it.

His Majesty may know everything in his heart, he just has no evidence.

Even if there is evidence, as the Queen Mother of Da'an, she cannot deal with it arbitrarily, otherwise, she is afraid that she will not be able to stop the gossips.

"Besides, all the members of the royal family are fed by the people. Without the love and support of the people, how can the royal family have glory and prosperity? Yunxi, as the eldest princess, enjoys the wealth and prosperity brought by the people, but has no love for her subjects at all. Instead, she treats them as straw dogs and bullies them at will. If this gets out, how can our Jun family still have the dignity to stand at the top of this country and enjoy the support of the subjects!"

Emperor Jianning took advantage of the situation and Empress Dowager Lan dared not say anything more. However, Yunxi was her own flesh and blood after all, and the emperor was not.

The Empress Dowager was humiliated repeatedly by Emperor Jianning, and in front of Mu Qingyan. Mu Qingyan was afraid that Empress Dowager Lan would not dare to do anything to the Emperor, and would take her out on him.

After all, when gods fight, mortals always suffer.

"The emperor has thought it through, and I dare not say more. If you want to punish Yunxi, then do it. I still have something to say to Miss Mu, Your Majesty, can you let us talk alone?"

The order to evict guests is obvious.

But Emperor Jianning was entrusted by someone else, so how could he let her get her wish?

Every woman who was given marriage to Prince Ling was summoned by the Queen Mother after the marriage and was killed after the auspicious day was determined by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. In the past, A Ye was ill and stayed indoors all the time. He had never even seen the women who were given marriages, but the sins of each of their deaths were attributed to A Ye.

Finally, there was someone that A Ye cared about and specially sent someone to tell him, his royal brother, to protect. How could he not agree?

"There is nothing that cannot be told to others. What does the Queen Mother want to say to Miss Mu that cannot be told to me?"

Queen Mother Lan felt a surge of anger in her head, burning her head. What was wrong with the emperor today? In the past, no matter how dissatisfied he was with her, he would never use such a tone to repeatedly humiliate her!

She looked at Mu Qingyan, who was standing below with her eyebrows lowered, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I heard that this Miss Mu was raised in Cangzhou since she was a child. I wonder how she caught the emperor's eye that he protects her so much? She just said a few words to me, but the emperor is afraid that I will eat her?"

Emperor Jianning said, "This is strange. Didn't my mother ask me to grant this marriage? I was wondering what is so special about Miss Mu that my mother asked me to do it herself."

He changed the subject and continued, "Didn't I see that Ah Ye's previous marriages were not successful? He has been bedridden for so many years, and there is not even a caring person around him. Besides, he is always summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother. What if there is a slight mistake and someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it and puts the blame on the Queen Mother? What should I do?"

What I mean is that I'm doing this for your own good. See how filial I am?

Queen Mother Lan lost her temper. She knew that she couldn't embarrass Mu Qingyan today, so she had to give in. "Okay, since your majesty is so protective of her, I won't keep her here. If anything happens to her, your majesty will hold me accountable. Leave now!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Emperor Jianning did not stay any longer and left Shouxiang Palace with Mu Qingyan.

Princess Yunxi was still kneeling there and hadn't stood up.

"You've been kneeling for so long, do you realize you're wrong?"

Emperor Jianning seemed to be very dissatisfied with his imperial sister and was reluctant to even give her a good look.

Princess Yunxi fell to the ground and said, "Brother, please forgive me. I know I was wrong..."

"You know you're wrong? Then tell me where you went wrong."

Although it was still spring, the midday sun was still very strong. She knelt for so long that her knees had lost all feeling. As a princess who grew up in luxury, no one dared to say a harsh word to her, let alone kneeling as punishment. But today, she was punished so severely for saying two words!

Prince Ling is just a dying sickly person! This Mu Qingyan, I am afraid she will not live to marry into Prince Ling's mansion! These two short-lived ghosts are just right to go underground and become a pair of miserable mandarin ducks!

However, because of these two people, the emperor punished her to kneel for such a long time!

If it weren't for the emperor's partiality, he wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne! If her brother, Prince Yong, had ascended the throne, he wouldn't have had the chance to show off his power!

She thought so in her heart, but said, "I shouldn't have talked about the emperor and brother Ling... I shouldn't have been looking for trouble and bullying the future sister-in-law..."

Emperor Jianning nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that you are not hopeless yet, get up."

"Thank you, my brother, for your mercy..."

The princess knelt down, so the palace servants who were her slaves naturally had to kneel down as well. The emperor was relieved at this meeting, and the palace servants hurriedly stood up to help Princess Yunxi.

When she walked to Mu Qingyan's side, she paused for a moment and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "For today's shame, I will repay you double!"

Mu Qingyan smiled bitterly. Well, it was the emperor who had offended her. The Queen Mother and Princess Yunxi couldn't chew the emperor's hard bone, so they picked on her! It was foreseeable how sad she would be in the future if she became the daughter-in-law of the royal family...

"Miss Mu, do you know why I must punish Yunxi and repeatedly offend the Queen Mother in front of you?"

Mu Qingyan answered honestly, "I dare not speculate on the emperor's will."

"Say whatever you think, I forgive you."
