The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that not only did the Emperor not punish the Crown Princess, but he sent the imperial physician to the Crown Prince's palace to check his pulse and check for him.

Such an action undoubtedly clearly shows the emperor's attitude towards this matter.

As for Second Madam Xue, she suffered in vain this time.

When the Xue family learned the news, everyone was extremely angry.

Old Madam Xue vented all her anger on Second Madam Xue.

"Look at how stupid you are! If you hadn't been so outspoken and talking nonsense, how could the Crown Princess be so angry? You've almost brought shame to our Xue family!" Old Madam Xue's eyes were wide open, and she pointed at Second Madam Xue and shouted loudly.

At this moment, Mrs. Xue's originally beautiful face was still swollen and her mood was extremely bad.

However, facing the scolding from her own mother-in-law, even though she was full of grievances and unwillingness, she could only hold back her tears and said humbly: "Mother, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault for being reckless and ignorant."

"But at that time, I was only thinking about venting the anger of the Xue family. I never expected that the Crown Princess would take advantage of the situation and make a fuss about it..."

In short, Madam Xue II felt aggrieved and thought that she was really wronged. She was not a stupid person, so how could she be so ignorant of the situation and rashly provoke the Crown Princess?

"How dare you say that? The more you say that, the angrier I get. It's all your fault..." At this time, Madam Xue's anger had not diminished at all, and she was about to flare up again.

However, at this critical moment, General Xue quickly reached out to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Well, the matter has been settled. What's the point of you continuing to make trouble like this?"

Hearing this, Old Madam Xue couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked angrily, "Master, can you swallow this anger in your heart?"

"Whether it was the Empress or the Empress Dowager, they were both very friendly and courteous to me. But now, I am being treated like this by that disobedient and unfilial daughter! If I hadn't decisively not let her go home, I would definitely not have let her off so easily!"

Facing Madam Xue's questioning, General Xue nodded grimly and said, "Of course it's hard to swallow this."

General Xue had a solemn face and his eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could pierce through everything his gaze reached. There was not a trace of his usual gentleness at all.

How could such a sharp look be possessed by a person who was willing to give up power? It clearly revealed a deep desire for power.

Such a chilling look was truly terrifying. Even Madam Xue was frightened into silence. She didn't even dare to breathe and could only huddle in the corner, feeling wronged and trembling.

At this moment, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but wonder in her heart: What exactly does the father-in-law want to do? The look in his eyes that flashed just now clearly carried a strong murderous intent.

But who is this murderous intention directed at? Could it be... the Crown Princess?

No...that shouldn't be the case!

After all, no matter what, the Crown Princess is a member of the royal family.

And the eunuch's undisguised murderous intentions, isn't that equivalent to wanting to murder a member of the royal family? This is simply an act of treason!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a chill on her back, and a chill instantly ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

At this moment, General Xue suddenly turned his gaze to her and said, "Go out first. I have something to say to your mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue was delighted and stood up immediately. However, due to excessive fear, her body was still shaking slightly. She replied tremblingly, "Yes."

Then he staggered and hurriedly left the room.

After her figure disappeared, Madam Xue frowned and looked at General Xue beside her with a worried look on her face. She asked softly, "Master, I wonder what you are worried about?"

General Xue sighed and said slowly, "Madam, although this huge family business will be handed over to the eldest brother in the future, the eldest brother's life is quite special and he is destined to have no children."

"But the only ones who can carry on the Xue family's legacy and inherit the family business in the future are the children of the second eldest son. Think about it, she will eventually become the head of the Xue family, so why do you treat her like this?"

In the past, the Xue family was prosperous and had many children and grandchildren.

But today, there are only a few male members in the family, and there is no son left.

Today, only the second branch remains to continue the family line, so General Xue will not allow any mistakes to happen to his grandchildren.

After hearing General Xue's words, even though Madam Xue was unwilling, she had to agree: "I understand, sir." However, she still couldn't hide the dissatisfaction on her face.

At this time, Master Xue lowered his voice again and warned: "The time is not yet ripe, we still need to be patient and endure the humiliation. As for the many matters in the palace, you can just pretend that you know nothing about them, and don't talk too much and cause trouble."

Madam Xue naturally understood what important things they were planning at the moment, and she had no time to ask more questions.

Just like that, under the stern warning of General Xue, even though Old Lady Xue was full of resentment, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and stay indoors all day.

Xue Jinhua, who was in the East Palace, although not in the Xue family, knew everything about the Xue family and could see through it like the back of her hand.

In the early morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice, illuminating the exquisite dressing table.

Xue Jinhua was sitting at the table, enjoying her breakfast elegantly. At this moment, Qingyi was standing beside her, quietly reporting the latest news to her.

"Crown Princess, there has been no movement from the Xue family since the last incident. The entire mansion looks unusually peaceful, as if nothing had ever happened." Qingyi's voice was clear and pleasant, but it revealed a hint of doubt.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua frowned slightly.

She gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up a piece of delicate osmanthus cake, put it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

However, despite the sweet taste of osmanthus filling her mouth, her heart became increasingly heavy.

"Calm?" Xue Jinhua murmured in a low voice, staring into the distance, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, she slowly turned her head, looked at Qing Yi and said, "If you ask me, the Xue family is definitely not that simple. After they know the emperor's attitude towards me, I'm afraid they are not as scared as you think. Based on my understanding of the Xue family, they will definitely not give up."

When Qingyi heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Crown Princess, why do you think so? In my opinion, even if the Xue family is dissatisfied, would they dare to openly oppose you? After all, we have the support of the emperor now." Qingyi obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Xue Jinhua shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Qingyi, you are still too naive after all. You don't understand the Xue family's way of dealing with people. They have always been good at forbearance and calculation. Their silence this time is just an appearance. They must be planning some conspiracy in secret."

Qingyi still looked confused, and Xue Jinhua knew that there were some inside stories that were inconvenient to tell her.

So, she fell into deep thought alone...

But what exactly could it be? It is puzzling.

The peace before the storm may seem calm, but in fact it is undercurrent, which always makes people feel anxious and uneasy.

Xue Jinhua stared blankly at the table full of exquisite snacks. Those originally tempting delicacies seemed to have lost all their charm at this moment, and she suddenly had no appetite at all.

She frowned and muttered to herself thoughtfully, "Give orders to keep a close eye on the Xue family's movements and not let down your guard at all..."

"Oh, by the way! Is Li San still in Kyoto now?"

Qing Yi quickly responded, "My Lady, Li San is still in Kyoto."

After receiving a positive reply, Xue Jinhua hesitated for a moment, then gave an order decisively: "That's good, send someone to tell him to come see me."

In fact, there has always been an uncertain matter hidden deep in Xue Jinhua's heart. If this matter cannot be clarified, her anxious heart will never be able to calm down.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua suddenly seemed to have remembered something important, and quickly added: "Oh, by the way, there is one other thing I need to confirm."

Her eyes were anxious and worried. She stared at Qing Yi and asked, "Is there any latest news about the prince's trip south?"

Qingyi shook her head slightly upon hearing this and reported truthfully, "According to the original itinerary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have to wait until the next few days to arrive in the Nanling area. So far, no news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sent back to the palace."

Hearing this answer, Xue Jinhua's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: Considering how caring and thoughtful Ling Yan usually is to me, it shouldn't have taken such a long time for him to disappear without a message.

Could it be that he encountered some unexpected difficult situation or trouble along the way?

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's heart suddenly jumped, and she stood up from her seat, exclaiming nervously, "Not good! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably in danger. No, this matter cannot be delayed, I must go to see the Emperor immediately."

The reason why the Xue family is so calm and composed is that they will definitely kill the prince.

Now that the prince has disappeared without a trace, if anything goes wrong...

She could no longer remain calm and rushed outside, but happened to run into Boss Xue sitting in a wheelchair.

"you………"

Xue Jinhua cast a sharp glance at her maid, who immediately knelt down like a frightened bird, "My Lady Crown Princess, I wanted to come in to report, but the Imperial Master came straight in and said... He also said that there was no need to report. I was powerless to stop him."

Xue Jinhua knew that he must have come prepared when he came at this time.

"It's okay, you can leave first."

"Yes."

After the maid left as if she had been pardoned, Xue Jinhua no longer needed to pretend.

Her face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. "Master Imperial Master, I wonder why you came to the East Palace...?"

Boss Xue was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes were like two flashes of lightning, instantly falling on her face, and after a brief pause, they slowly flowed down like a gurgling stream.

Finally, his gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet and fixed firmly on her belly. "The Crown Princess's belly seems to be bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman. I'm afraid it's twins."

twin?

Xue Jinhua was struck by lightning and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

She had no experience in childbirth, and during this period the imperial physician had been taking her pulse, and every time he said that both mother and child were safe, so she did not take the matter to heart.

However, at this moment she was told that they were actually twins.

"The Imperial Master is truly powerful. Not only can he observe the stars at night, he is also proficient in the art of seeing the fetus."

Boss Xue smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze blowing on one's face. "The imperial physician sometimes makes mistakes. If the Crown Princess has any doubts, you might as well find another imperial physician to take a look."
