After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

At the same time, in Fengyi Palace, Amber was carefully bandaging Anman's injured finger.

She looked at her bloody fingers, her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Ouyang Jing! You treated me like this for that woman! I will never let you go! Never!" Anman growled with gritted teeth.

Inside Yilan Palace, the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. Aya, with an unconcealable look of joy on her face, quickly walked up to Xie Mishuang, who was leisurely sipping tea.

"Your Majesty, good news! Shopkeeper Kai has taken over all of the Shen family's stores and brought them under our name! The Xie family's financial resources are now completely cut off!"

Xie Mishuang put down the teacup, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Well done, Aya. Now the Xie family will have nothing to rely on."

Aya was excited, but also a little worried: "Even so, Xie Wenyao is still a third-rank official. Your Majesty, have you thought about how to deal with him?"

Xie Mishuang smiled contemptuously, as if everything was under his control.

"He's always been obsessed with power. If we remove him from this position, he'll be doomed. Xie Wenyao must have accepted a lot of bribes in this position, right? I've handed this matter over to Qinghe. From now on, you just need to take care of the Shen family's shops."

Aya nodded. The queen was indeed far-sighted and calculated every step with extreme precision.

At this moment, Xiao Shunzi hurried in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Amber from Fengyi Palace is here, and she wants you to give the Queen an answer."

Xie Mishuang raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Queen? Oh, let her in."

A moment later, Amber walked into the hall and bowed to Xie Mishuang.

"Your servant Amber pays homage to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu."

Xie Mishuang leaned lazily on the couch and said nonchalantly, "No need to be polite. What does the Queen want to see me about?"

Amber replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen would like to ask if you would be willing to accept her kindness and look after each other in the palace in the future."

Xie Mishuang chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"I appreciate your kindness, Queen. From now on, I will rely on you, Queen."

Amber felt relieved after receiving the answer and quickly took her leave.

Amber returned to Fengyi Palace and told Anman Xie Mishuang's reply.

After hearing this, Anman felt much more at ease, but there was still a lingering uneasiness between his brows.

She always had a feeling that the woman was about to come back.

She must not lose to her, even if it means making wedding dresses for others.

"Amber," Anman's voice was low and cold, "Take out the secret medicine and give it to Concubine Shu."

Amber was horrified when she heard this and quickly tried to dissuade him: "My Queen, that's the only one in the world! It would be a shame to just give it to her!"

Anman's eyes were cold, with a hint of determination.

"What do you know? It's been sitting here with me for three years, and I haven't had a chance to eat it. Now I'm giving it to Concubine Shu as a favor. As long as she can give birth to a prince and gain the emperor's favor, as long as I can defeat her, what's the big deal if it's given to Concubine Shu?"

Amber helplessly adjusted the hairpin on her temples and turned around to get the secret medicine.

She was worried because this secret medicine was Queen Anman's treasure. It would be a shame to give it away like this.

But she didn't dare to disobey the Empress's order, and could only pray secretly that the Empress Shufei could make good use of this secret medicine and help the Empress.

On the other side, Aya finished her work and prepared to leave the palace.

Just as I walked near the palace gate, I caught a glimpse of a small figure. The back and the stature were extremely similar to those of the young master Lele!

Aya's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward and took a closer look. The child's delicate and pretty face was indeed Lele!

"LeLe!" Aya blurted out.

A Le was kicking pebbles on the side of the road out of boredom. When he heard someone calling him, he quickly turned around.

Seeing a strange palace maid, he tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Sister, are you calling me?"

Only then did Aya remember that she had changed her appearance, so Lele naturally couldn't recognize her.

She quickly corrected herself, "Ah, no, I just yelled, you must have heard it wrong. So, how come a little kid like you is in the palace?"

Ah Le blinked his big eyes and said innocently: "An uncle brought me in, and then the emperor uncle didn't drive me away. He let me stay and gave me lots of delicious food, so I stayed!" As he spoke, he licked his lips, as if he was savoring the delicious food.

At this moment, a noise came from the distance: "The Queen Mother has arrived——"

Several palace maids and eunuchs hurried over and shouted, "What are you doing here? Get out of the way!"

Aya was shocked and quickly took Ale's hand, stepped back to the side of the road and knelt down.

The Queen Mother's phoenix sedan came slowly and stopped beside A Le.

The Queen Mother accidentally caught a glimpse of Ah Le, and was shocked as if she saw Jing Er when she was young.

Those eyebrows, that expression, they are simply carved from the same mold!

"Wait!" the Queen Mother shouted sternly, and the sedan chair stopped immediately.

She slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, came to Ah Le, and stared at him with burning eyes: "Raise your head!"

Ah Le was startled by the Queen Mother's majestic aura and raised his head timidly.

The Queen Mother was even more shocked, muttering, "Resemblance, so similar..."

Aya's heart was also in turmoil. Lele did look somewhat like the emperor. Could it be that the empress dowager would recognize him? What should she do?

The Queen Mother stretched out her trembling hand, helped Ah Le up, and asked anxiously, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Aya quickly said, "Your Majesty, he is just a young boy who accidentally sneaked in. I was just about to take him out of the palace."

The Queen Mother glanced at Aya and said slowly, "Are you from the palace of Concubine Shu?"

Aya replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, that's right."

The Queen Mother's kind gaze fell on Ah Le again and said, "I think this young man is very suitable for me. I want to take him to visit me." The Queen Mother turned to Ah Le and said softly, "Are you willing?"

Ah Le looked at the Queen Mother's kind expression and nodded innocently: "You and I are destined to be together, so of course I am willing."

A brilliant smile bloomed on his young face, as bright as the warm spring sun.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go." She took A Le's little hand and slowly walked into the sedan chair.

Ale turned around, gave Aya a sweet smile, and then sat obediently next to the Queen Mother.

Aya looked at the sedan chair going away, feeling extremely anxious.

How did Lele end up in the palace? And was even taken away by the Queen Mother!

This is no small matter! She must hurry back to report to the Empress!
