Rufang, who was serving on the side, saw that the queen was being led by Meng Yunshang, and she coughed anxiously.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Queen Chen finally realized that she had been tricked by Meng Yunshang.

She glared at Meng Yunshang with an unpleasant expression, "Princess Heng is so idle that she has to take care of things that affect me and the emperor."

Her words carried obvious intimidation, and she thought Meng Yunshang would be more restrained.

But in fact, Meng Yunshang not only ignored her warning, but also started to show off openly.

"The population of the palace is simple. The prince is clean and gentle and considerate. Huai'an is well-behaved and sensible. The housekeeper takes care of the miscellaneous affairs in the palace. Although I am the mistress of the palace, there are not many things I need to worry about, so I have nothing to do."

"You!" Queen Chen was angry.

She was busy all day long like a spinning top. The palace affairs were handled by her, the concubines had quarrels with her, and even the empress dowager had a headache or fever and she was the one who took care of it.

But even so, the desired result was still not achieved.

The Queen Mother thought she was not a qualified queen, the Emperor thought she was not affectionate enough, and even her only princess was afraid of her.

What about Meng Yunshang? As a royal daughter-in-law, why does she live such a relaxed and happy life?

unfair!

So, Queen Chen angrily scolded Meng Yunshang, "How can you be so unmotivated!"

"Your Highness, you are joking. As a woman, my job is to take care of my husband and children, isn't it?"

"Or does Her Majesty want to take advantage of this situation and give the prince a few beauties?"

Empress Chen's fig leaf was completely torn off. She pointed at Meng Yunshang in anger, "Meng Yunshang, you are so bold!"

"Did this concubine pierce your Majesty's lungs?"

"You!" Empress Chen's chest heaved violently due to anger. Rufang lowered her voice and reminded her while helping her to calm down.

"Your Majesty, calm down. We summoned her to the palace today because of the matter of the uncle and the young master."

Thinking of her elder brother and nephew from her natal family, Empress Chen became even angrier.

But in the end, he didn't lose his composure again.

She asked Meng Yunshang with a serious face, "I heard that there was a misunderstanding between you and the uncle today at the school gate?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Huai'an has been treated like a wild child for two years since he entered school. It's really because you, as a mother, are not qualified."

"Your Majesty is right," Meng Yunshang responded seriously, looking as if she was listening attentively.

Empress Chen felt relieved and continued, "It's fine if it's just a misunderstanding, but you can't just let it go by offering a reward for beating up the uncle."

"For the sake of Prince Heng, I will not pursue the matter too much, but you must go to the king's uncle's house to apologize and bring a generous gift."

Meng Yunshang looked up at Queen Chen and asked casually, "From what your Majesty said, it seems that you know everything that happened at the entrance of the school today?"

"Of course," Queen Chen nodded firmly.

"Nuo'er is still young, even if her words offended Huai'an, it was unintentional. Princess Heng, as an adult, how can you treat her like a child..."

Before he could even utter the word "care about", he was interrupted by Meng Yunshang's cold shout.

"Chen Nuo spread rumors in the school that Huai'an was a wild child whose parents were both orphaned, and incited other students in the school to surround Huai'an, causing Huai'an to be injured and take a ten-day leave from the school."

"Huaian returned to the school today, and Chen Nuo deliberately blocked the school gate and attacked him. Not only did Uncle Chen not teach his son to be good, he also publicly stated that the Queen Mother and the entire Chen family supported him in targeting Huaian."

"Knowing that Huai'an is the favorite of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, you openly target him. May I ask, Queen, are you planning to lead the entire Chen family to go against the royal family?"

"Nonsense!" Queen Chen was a little flustered. She didn't know what Meng Yunshang said.

The servant from the Chen family only said that the concubine of Prince Heng instigated the people to attack the king's uncle, and did not say that Huai'an was the cause of the incident, let alone that she was involved.

"The reward was offered by the prince himself, and the amount of gold was counted and distributed by Lu Ming himself."

Empress Chen didn't believe it. She angrily scolded with a dark face, "Meng Yunshang, don't fool me. Prince Heng is calm and composed. How could he offer a reward for beating someone in the street? You must be taking advantage of the power of others."

Meng Yunshang said in a calm voice, "Your Highness is indeed calm and self-controlled, but that also depends on the time and occasion."

“怀安是他血脉的延续,也是他寄予厚望的嫡子。替怀安出头,乃是他心之所向。别说只是悬赏揍人,若再有人不长眼,即便是刀尖舔血也使得。”

"Meng Yunshang, you are so insolent! Someone, Princess Heng is speaking wildly and offending me. Take her down for me."

Empress Chen couldn't convince Meng Yunshang, so she decided to use force.

But before he finished speaking, he saw several figures at the entrance of the hall, and the one walking in front was Lu Chenxiao.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother followed closely behind him.

Queen Chen became anxious and quickly stood up to greet him.

However, before she could salute the emperor and the queen mother, she heard Lu Chenxiao snort coldly, "It's fine to force the princess to enter the palace, but you even want to set up a private torture chamber in Fengyi Palace. The queen is really powerful!"

"That's not the case. Chen Xiao, listen to the Queen's sister-in-law's explanation..."

Lu Chenxiao ignored her flattery and strode to Meng Yunshang, "Are you hurt?"

Meng Yunshang shook her head.

Regardless of the fact that there were many people watching behind him, Lu Chenxiao pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly, and generously admitted, "This king is very worried about you."

Meng Yunshang was dazed by his hug.

After noticing the murderous gaze from the Queen, she took the initiative to hug Lu Chenxiao's waist.

Lu Chenxiao was shocked. He never expected that she would respond. He was surprised and happy, with undisguised tenderness in his eyes.

Meng Yunshang's face turned red when she was stared at, and she coughed lightly to change the subject.

"The Queen and Uncle Chen both like to have people come to arrest me. If you don't know, you would think that the Queen and the Chen family have been holding a grudge against Prince Heng's Mansion for a long time."

"That's not true!" The dirty water falling from the sky frightened Queen Chen so much that she quickly shook her head.

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to Meng Yunshang's nonsense. How could I possibly bear a grudge against Prince Heng? My brother would never do that either."

Everyone knows that the Emperor and Prince Heng have a deep brotherly love. Questioning Prince Heng is disrespectful to the Emperor.

Even if she had a thousand courage, she would not dare to go against the emperor.

But Meng Yunshang refused to give in and retorted, "Then the Queen has a problem with me personally? Is it because I didn't give you the opportunity to place someone in Prince Heng's mansion?"

"Enough!" Emperor Yuan Qing suddenly spoke, but he was scolding Meng Yunshang.

"Ms. Meng, you are so insolent!"

This obvious favoritism made Meng Yunshang feel aggrieved, but before she could vent, Lu Chenxiao protected her behind her.

Lu Chenxiao faced Emperor Yuan Qing and spoke in a cold tone, "Your Majesty, this is all because the Chen family targeted Lu Youlin. My wife did nothing wrong in protecting her son. But it's the Queen who behaved like this, which is disheartening."

"I already know the cause and effect of what happened in front of the school. Chen Nuo and his son were certainly wrong, but Lu Chenxiao, as the King of Heng, you offered a reward in public to beat up the uncle of the emperor. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

"It's just a matter of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. What's wrong with that?"

"You still dare not repent? Come here, Prince Heng knows the law but breaks it, disregarding the dignity of the royal family. He will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane in court as a warning to others."

Emperor Yuan Qing gave an order, and soon the Imperial Guards came in and held Lu Chenxiao down.
