Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace, and Meng Yunshang gently pushed the prince who was sticking to her like taffy.

"arrive!"

The man hummed softly, but his hands showed no sign of loosening, and he still held her tightly in his arms.

Meng Yunshang reminded, "We should go down now."

"No hurry," the man lowered his head and nibbled her earlobe, "Kiss her again."

Meng Yunshang couldn't help but frown, "You kissed me all the way!"

"Not enough kissing~"

As he was about to kiss her again, Meng Yunshang quickly blocked his lips, so he simply kissed her palm.

Meng Yunshang blushed and the temperature in the carriage rose rapidly.

At the critical moment, the butler's voice came from outside the car, "Your Majesty, the emperor summons you to the palace immediately."

The sound was so sudden that Meng Yunshang was startled and pushed her hands forward violently.

The defenseless Lu Chenxiao was pushed far away by her, and the back of his head hit the car wall with a dull sound.

"Hiss~" Lu Chenxiao looked at her resentfully, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Meng Yunshang coughed lightly, it was purely a mistake.

The butler heard the muffled sound and asked worriedly, "My Lord, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Lu Chenxiao sat up straight, pulled the person he wanted to avoid back into his arms, and then spoke slowly, "Do you know why the emperor summoned me at this time?"

"The Northern Guard sent back a message saying that the Crown Prince and Princess Baozhu had some conflicts."

When Meng Yunshang heard that it was about the child, she immediately asked, "Is the prince injured?"

The butler realized belatedly that he might have disturbed the prince's good deeds.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered respectfully, "Don't worry, Princess. The prince is fine. But Princess Baozhu..."

"Ok?"

"Princess Baozhu is seriously injured."

Lu Chenxiao laughed, "Lu Youlin has become more capable."

The butler was unsure of his attitude, and remembering the anxiety expressed in the letter from Guard Bei, he gritted his teeth and urged his own prince.

"The Northern Guard said that Empress Chen is not giving up. If possible, please ask Your Majesty to come to the palace as soon as possible."

Lu Chenxiao sneered disapprovingly, "If Chen dares to touch Lu Youlin's hair, I have to praise her for her courage."

"She really doesn't dare to touch Huai'an in public, but what about in private? She has never been a magnanimous person, Huai'an will definitely be wronged. No, I have to enter the palace immediately."

Since it concerned her son, Meng Yunshang couldn't remain calm. She lifted her skirt and tried to get off the carriage.

"Butler, prepare the fast horses."

However, as soon as he stood up, he was pulled back into Lu Chenxiao's arms.

The man looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you sure you want to enter the palace like this?"

Meng Yunshang followed his gaze towards her chest and was startled.

It was so annoying. She had been pestered by him all the way. If she entered the palace like this, she would be short of telling others what she had just done.

When Empress Chen catches us, there will be a lot of arguments.

Looking at the instigator again, who looked very pleased with himself, Meng Yunshang was so angry that she wanted to slap him.

Lu Chenxiao quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't worry, go back to Hefeng Courtyard and change your clothes. I'll be waiting for you at the door. With the east, south, west and north guarding him, and under the Queen Mother's nose, that kid won't suffer any harm."

Meng Yunshang calmed down after being reminded by him, but she did not forget to remind the housekeeper again, "Hurry up and prepare the horses."

"Okay, Princess."

*

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Qing sat behind the dragon desk with an unclear expression.

The Queen Mother was sitting slightly below him, currently supporting her forehead with her hand and letting the palace maid give her a shoulder massage.

Lu Lingshan sat opposite. Although the wound on her face had been rubbed with medicine, it was still very ugly with bruises.

Empress Chen hugged Lu Lingshan and cried, "Your Majesty, Lingshan is your own daughter. You must make the decision for Lingshan."

Emperor Yuan Qing asked slowly, "What does the Queen want me to do for Lingshan?"

"Lu Youlin dared to beat Lingshan like this right under your nose, which shows that he doesn't take you seriously at all. Both publicly and privately, he should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Queen, it's just a joke between two children, why make such a big deal out of it!"

Empress Chen retorted, "May I ask, mother, if it was Lu Youlin who was injured, would you say it was just a child's fight?"

The Queen Mother angrily shouted, "Queen, you are so presumptuous."

"I am really going to be unbridled today!"

After saying this, Empress Chen knelt in front of the dragon case and said, "I know that the emperor favors Prince Heng's family, but Lingshan, as a legitimate princess of the harem, was beaten like this. If the emperor does not give me an explanation, I am afraid that the civil and military officials will not be able to justify it."

"Are you threatening me, Queen?"

Emperor Yuan Qing asked this in a bland and cold tone.

If Queen Chen looked closely, she would have discovered that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

But at this time, Empress Chen only wanted to seek justice for her daughter, and did not notice the storm hidden in Emperor Yuan Qing's calm words.

"I dare not force the emperor, I just want an explanation for Lingshan."

"Heh!" Emperor Yuan Qing sneered and looked at Lu Lingshan who was huddled beside Empress Chen.

"You also want me to punish Huai'an?"

Lu Lingshan glanced at Huai'an, then gritted her teeth and nodded, "Lu Youlin is not only rude to me, but he also always likes to steal my things. Father, can you please make a decision for me?"

Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes dimmed a little and he turned to look at Huai'an who had been sitting quietly.

"Huaian, do you have anything to say?"

Huai'an slid down from the chair and stood respectfully in front of the dragon table.

He said in a steady, serious tone:

"My father said that in the royal family, the emperor and his subjects come first, and then the father and son. No matter how you deal with this matter today, Huai'an will listen to you."

"What if the Emperor punishes you?"

"Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor, and the emperor is wise and will not wrongly accuse Huai'an. If the emperor insists on punishing Huai'an, it means Huai'an really did something wrong."

Emperor Yuan Qing's frown relaxed slightly and he sighed, "Your father has taught you very well."

The Queen Mother also sighed with pride, "Ah Xiao may be confused about other things, but he has always respected the Emperor. Huai'an knows this at a young age, and he learned it from his father. Your Majesty, you must not let Ah Xiao down."

There are many deep meanings in these words. Emperor Yuan Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

However, Lu Lingshan was not convinced and complained softly, "My father and my grandmother are both partial to me."

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at her, then asked in a deep voice, "You just said Huai'an stole your things? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Queen Chen's face turned grim and she wanted to cover her daughter's mouth, but Lu Lingshan had already spoken quickly.

"The palace is my home, and all the treasures in the palace should belong to me. Lu Youlin always brings piles of rewards with him every time he leaves the palace. Isn't that just stealing my things?"

This self-answer shocked Emperor Yuan Qing and the Empress Dowager.

At this time, a sneer came from outside the door, "What a great thing! All the treasures in the palace are yours. Could it be that you and your daughter have been coveting the things in the emperor's hands for a long time?"

Everyone present knew what the emperor was holding.

Empress Chen was frightened and her face turned pale. She knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Qing and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I definitely did not mean that."

"Oh, I haven't said anything yet, but the Queen has already understood what I mean. It's hard to say that you don't have that thought."

"Prince Heng!" Queen Chen screamed in fright.

But Lu Chenxiao still asked relentlessly, "If I remember correctly, the Queen seems to be under house arrest. The distance from Fengyi Palace to the Imperial Study is not short. I wonder how the Queen is going to explain it?"

“……” Queen Chen was speechless after being asked.

It was true that she was under house arrest, but with her daughter injured like this, she had no time to care about the house arrest.

More importantly, the emperor didn't blame her for coming out without permission, so why should Lu Chenxiao ask about it!

However, before he could think of a reply, he heard Lu Chenxiao sneer and question, "So this is how the queen rules the six palaces?"

"This palace..." Queen Chen was sweating profusely.

After Lu Chenxiao finished speaking, he took Meng Yunshang to the dragon table and saluted Emperor Yuanqing and the Queen Mother.

After being allowed to leave the ceremony, he asked in a cold tone, "If I had come a step later, would I have gone to the prison to rescue my son?"

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

Queen Mother: “???”
