Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Duan Yuyan never imagined that the mother she was pleading with would harbor such resentment towards her.

She began to cry as soon as she entered the palace, without saying a word.

An Ruyi was greatly annoyed by her daughter's crying. Even so, she understood that she would not have peace of mind until she resolved her daughter's problem today.

She frowned slightly and glanced at Qingwu standing to the side.

Qingwu understood immediately and quickly went to Duan Yuyan's side to gently comfort her.

"Princess, don't cry. Tell the Imperial Concubine what grievance you have suffered, and she will surely get justice for you!"

Upon hearing the voice and finally hearing someone speak to her, Duan Yuyan paused slightly, then straightened up somewhat awkwardly.

"Mother..."

A soft, sweet voice only added to An Ruyi's annoyance. She frowned slightly as she looked at Duan Yuyan, whose eyes were already red from crying.

Every time Duan Yuyan caused trouble outside, she would cry and make a scene in front of me, trying to get me to step in and clean up her mess.

"Don't call me Mother Consort. If you truly respected Mother Consort, you wouldn't have come to my Yong'an Palace at this time!" She naturally didn't have a very good temper to persuade her daughter.

Before she could even get ready, she had already learned some details from Qingwu about Duan Yuyan's purpose in entering the palace.

"Mother, how can you treat your daughter like this?" Duan Yuyan couldn't hold back her temper when she saw that her mother wasn't protecting her.

She thought her mother loved her the most, but she never expected that when she came to see her mother, the first thing she said was to blame her.

But she hadn't done anything wrong; she was just asking someone for something.

She's a princess of a nation, does that mean she can't even kill a person?

Thinking of this, Duan Yuyan forgot her true purpose in entering the palace to seek her mother.

Now, she only blames her mother for treating her badly!

"What are you saying? Don't you even look at the time? Your mother is pregnant, can she withstand this kind of torment?"

An Ruyi was naturally even more annoyed with Duan Yuyan, who was pregnant and should have been resting.

Not to mention that it was past midnight, Duan Yuyan's actions could be considered a capital offense of trespassing into the palace!

Even though she was the most favored princess, it wouldn't work!

"Is this how Mother sees Yan'er?" Duan Yuyan was a little annoyed. She felt that she had just cried for nothing in front of her mother.

Upon seeing the exquisite porcelain and jade cups on the table, she smashed them to the ground without saying a word.

"When Mother saw Yan'er so aggrieved, instead of asking questions, she blamed her. Is Yan'er really Mother's biological daughter?"

"you--"

An Ruyi was so frightened by the sound of the jade cup hitting the ground that she almost miscarried.

She stared at her daughter in disbelief, but instinctively covered her stomach with her hands.

"Your Majesty, are you alright..." Qingwu hurriedly went to the bedside and carefully checked whether she had been cut by the flying shards.

"What? Does Mother only care about the one in your belly?" Duan Yuyan naturally saw An Ruyi's subconscious actions.

Now, she was completely different from the pitiful woman she had been in front of An Ruyi. Instead, she pointed at An Ruyi's stomach and continued speaking in a bossy manner.

"Ever since Mother became pregnant, she has completely forgotten about Yan'er and Yan'er's good brother. I'm afraid Mother hasn't even thought about us two siblings!"

Duan Yuyan's words are true.

Even she could see that since An Ruyi became pregnant, An Ruyi's coldness towards them had become quite obvious, and she didn't care about their feelings at all.

Especially her, every time she talked to her mother about her marriage, An Ruyi could always find an excuse to leave and not want to interfere in her marriage.

But now that she is about to get married, she cannot place all her hopes on her brother.

After all, the Western Regions were far and remote, and she desperately didn't want to leave the prosperous Nanyang to marry those uncouth and vulgar Western Region people!

"Did you have no conscience when you said that, Duan Yuyan!" An Ruyi seemed to be so angry that she was about to have a miscarriage. She took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. The princess... she also suffered some injustice outside. Please try to say less to her." Qingwu saw that An Ruyi's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated.

She quickly offered words of comfort, fearing that something might happen to the baby in An Ruyi's womb.

After all, An Ruyi suffered a great deal to conceive this child.

If anything goes wrong with this pregnancy, she will never be able to get pregnant again!

Therefore, she and An Ruyi were extremely careful and stayed in the palace during this period, rarely going out.

"I have no conscience?" Duan Yuyan laughed instead of getting angry, and pointed at herself.

Her clothes had dried completely on the way here, but the peach-colored dress was soaked through by the rain, leaving very noticeable water stains on it.

She was soaked in the rain for a whole day!

But ever since she entered the palace, her mother has turned a blind eye to her. Who is the heartless one?

"Mother, I came to ask you for help at this hour, but instead of asking why, you said I was heartless? I've been soaked in the rain, why didn't you see that?"

This outfit was specially prepared for her by An Ruyi for her birthday.

The fabrics used were the finest from the palace.

"You—" An Ruyi didn't know what to say. Looking at Duan Yuyan's fierce and vicious demeanor, she was completely unlike the most noble princess of Nanyang.

Instead, she's like a shrew who's always arguing with people at the marketplace.

This is utterly speechless!

Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Qingwu was afraid that An Ruyi might really have a miscarriage, so she quickly spoke up to persuade her.

"Please, Your Highness, stop arguing. The Imperial Concubine has been having trouble sleeping lately, and she only manages to fall asleep before you wake her up. She is feeling unwell."

She looked up at Duan Yuyan, who was still standing there sulking, then quickly looked down at An Ruyi and said...

"Your Highness, please don't be angry with the princess. When the princess suffers injustice outside, she will naturally think of you first to stand up for her. When the princess came in, I instructed the kitchen to brew ginger tea, and I will go and bring it to the princess now."

She was naturally perceptive and thought that the mother and daughter should talk things out themselves.

He walked to Duan Yuyan's side and whispered in her ear, explaining...

"Of course Her Majesty cares about you. You are her most precious princess. She dotes on you so much, how could she not care about you? However, Her Majesty has not been feeling well lately, so please take good care of her."

After saying this, Qingwu bowed to Duan Yuyan and left the palace.

Before leaving, she also took the palace maids who were guarding the palace with her, leaving a place for the mother and daughter to talk.

Duan Yuyan glanced deeply at the tightly closed door, as if her strength had dissipated, and she seemed to have truly lost her previous hostility. She slowly walked to An Ruyi's bedside and said...

"Mother, did I act well just now?"
