The Ugly Concubine Strikes Back: The War God Prince Spoils Her Crazy

The atmosphere in the court was cold.

All the civil and military officials realized that something was wrong and tried to keep themselves out of trouble.

Just as the emperor was about to leave court, an old imperial censor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty and military spending is being cut. I have brought the account book..."

When the emperor heard the word "account book", his forehead throbbed and he wanted to speak up to stop it.

The old censor was old but very confident. In the blink of an eye, he gave the reason why the treasury was empty.

It turned out that the emperor was extremely extravagant and had high expenses for the women in the harem.

Most of the national treasury was used to support the emperor and his women.

But the Black Armor Army, which fights for the country, has to cut military spending... How absurd, how ridiculous.

The emperor felt a gust of cool wind seeping into the soles of his feet, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Lijing.

He knew that all this was done by Xiao Lijing, but the other party used an open conspiracy and there was no excuse.

Just as he was furious, the old censor spoke out again without fear of death, "Your Majesty, you should reduce the expenses of the harem and keep the military spending as usual, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the people of the world."

"Good! Good!"

The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He glanced at everyone indifferently and walked away.

The court was connected to the harem, and the empress dowager soon learned the news.

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, her face filled with sorrow, "Why bother with this?"

The two brothers had to quarrel to the point where they were incompatible.

The Queen Mother knew very well that if the Emperor did not use the poison in the bottle, he would just kill her directly.

"Forget it, come, invite the King and his wife to the palace!"

……

Chu Wanyu blinked and sniffed lightly.

The table was full of delicious food... She glanced at Xiao Lijing secretly, feeling sad.

The Queen Mother forced a kind smile on her face.

"It's been a long time since we, mother and son, have eaten at the same table! Today I made your favorite egg custard. Try it. I made it myself..."

At the Queen Mother's glance, the old nanny placed the egg custard in front of Xiao Lijing with her own hands.

Xiao Lijing's face remained calm, but Chu Wanyu noticed that his hands hanging by his side tightened.

She smiled and said, "Your Highness has been working too hard these days. I'll feed you!"

She took the bowl from the old lady and exclaimed, "It's so hot!"

As he spoke, he loosened his grip and the bowl fell to the ground with a bang, shattering into pieces.

Chu Wanyu was horrified. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the bowl was too hot. I didn't mean to do that!"

"That's it!"

Looking at the broken bowl, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Eat it quickly, it will get cold soon!"

The three people at the table each had their own thoughts, and no one mentioned the bowl of egg custard again.

After the meal, the Empress Dowager drank tea and chatted about family matters.

She gently recounted the days when the mother and her two children depended on each other.

Chu Wanyu was like an invisible person, listening quietly and not daring to say a word.

Just as Chu Wanyu was about to fall asleep, the Queen Mother suddenly became sad, her voice choked with sobs, "I am old, and what I hope most is that my children are safe and healthy, and that you two brothers get along well! Why do you have to go against your brother in the court!"

Xiao Lijing paused holding the tea bowl, and said slowly: "I just want to live!"

As he said that, he pulled Chu Wanyu's hand and left.

Looking at the two men's backs, the Queen Mother's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. "Ah! What a sin! How many people have been blinded by this power!"

The carriage was extremely quiet.

Chu Wanyu sat quietly aside, looking at Xiao Lijing's lonely expression, feeling sorry for him.

"Prince, you still have me!" She spoke subconsciously, and then held Xiao Lijing's broad hand.

With fingers intertwined, warmth flows into the heart.

Xiao Lijing raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I still have you!"

The low and hoarse voice was gentle and affectionate, and the deep eyes were full of doting.

His gaze was so hot that it made people feel uneasy.

Chu Wanyu's eyes flickered as she lowered her head. "In fact, the poison the Queen Mother administered will only weaken the body, not kill!"

After all, she is my mother, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please show mercy.

Xiao Lijing had a bitter smile on his face, "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter anymore!"

Seeing Chu Wanyu's distressed face, he hugged her directly in his arms, "It feels good to have someone care about you!"

Along the way, Chu Wanyu leaned quietly in his arms, silent.

After getting off the carriage, Chu Wanyu subconsciously took his arm and the two of them entered the palace together.

"Your Majesty!"

Jiang Mian suddenly ran over and knelt on his knees.

There were tears in her eyes and she bit her lower lip gently. Her delicate little face was pale as she looked at Xiao Lijing lovingly.

Chu Wanyu subconsciously looked up at Xiao Lijing. Seeing his expressionless face, she smiled and said, "What are you doing? Get up!"

"No, I won't get up!"

Jiang Mian looked sad, "Prince, I love you deeply. I don't ask for a name, I just want to be your woman. Please take me in!"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Lijing shouted coldly, "You only have one chance. If you bid within a month, you won't get a generous dowry. Otherwise..."

The threat is obvious.
