ol. She tossed and turned in bed. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Qian Tingxuan's dejected back just now. So angry, she punched the bed frame: "Damn man!"Until the sky outside was bright, she...Unexpectedly, before Xiao Yuge could speak, Qian Si Chen immediately defended her: “Mother Empress, you've wrongly accused Ge'er. She was rushing to get medicine for me, it was I who wasn't careful and stumbled.” 。His chest ached, but he blamed Song'er not one whit. 。However, the little footprint on his chest was obvious to anyone who looked. The Queen knew it was her own son who had done this. Before, when Ge'er treasured him, she treated him like grass. Now that she no longer treasures him, she still clings to him. Only her foolish son could do something like this. 。The Empress wanted to teach Xiao Yuge a lesson, her anger still burning: "Chen'er, don't defend her. She was sent here by His Majesty to serve you. To dare hurt you is audacious and outrageous! Bring someone!" "Yes!" A guard standing nearby immediately stepped forward 。"Guardian Princess Xiao Yu Ge is disrespectful to the Crown Prince, drag her down and punish her with twenty lashes!" Originally I wanted to say thirty lashes, but then I thought, Xiao Yu Ge is now a blessed woman of good fortune. If we damage her, His Majesty will definitely take it up with us, so I changed it to twenty. 。"Presumptuous! Back off!" Seeing the guards move to pull Ge'er away, Qian Si Chen disregarded the pain in his body and rushed to stand before her. 。"His Royal Highness..." Those guards were also dumbfounded. This empress and His Royal Highness, who should they listen to 。“Chen'er, you are not allowed to protect her today. As a county princess, she dares to treat you this way. Does she still have the law in her eyes If we don’t punish her severely today, how will you command respect in the future” The Empress was also filled with anger. This foolish son, how could he be so timid in front of a woman Seeing Xiao Yuge's calm and composed expression only made her even more determined to humiliate her. 。"Mother, as I said, this has nothing to do with the song. " 。Qian Si Chen at this moment is just like a mother hen protecting her chicks. 。Xiao Yu Ge coldly watched his back. If it were in the past, she estimated she would be so moved that she would cry her heart out, but now she really didn't feel anything. The Empress had clearly come to intimidate her. Wasn't twenty lashes enough She could bear it!“You!” The Empress was speechless with anger, pointing at Qian Si Chen: "How could this palace give birth to such an incompetent thing as you!""All of you, get out of here!" Finally, the Empress had no choice but to relent. 。"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!""All of you, please leave. This palace wishes to speak with the Crown Prince on some private matters." 。The Empress gestured with her hand for the maidservants beside her to withdraw. She hadn't come today simply to cause trouble, but because she knew her son had been repeatedly hitting a wall with Xiao Yuge, so she came to give him some advice. 。"Xiao Yu Ge, you go down first! If there's another time, this palace will definitely not show mercy!" The Empress glared at Xiao Yu Ge fiercely. Although she was angry, she couldn't help but secretly marvel: No wonder her silly son rushed to marry this little girl, this little girl is truly becoming more and more beautiful, just standing there is already mesmerizing. 。"Your Majesty," Xiao Yuge pursed her lips, turned and left without even glancing at Qian Si Chen. 。When only the Empress and her son were left in the courtyard, the Empress sighed and glared at her son. “Why are you just standing there Come and sit down!”“Yes, Mother,” Qian Si Chen covered his wounds and sat down. 。"How are your wounds Are you feeling better" The empress wanted to scold him, but seeing her son like this, she couldn't bear to. 。"Let Mother be worried, Ge'er's medical skills are good, the wound is much better." 。“Hearing him say this, the Empress’s heart finally settled down. She asked again, “Can you find out who sent the assassin Did you see the assassin’s appearance clearly at that time” Thousand Thoughts hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “Mother Empress, the assassin was wearing a mask. Your son was injured at the time and not his opponent. These days Ling Tian has been investigating as well, but so far he hasn’t found out who is behind this.” 。He knew it was Ning Feng, but he also knew that if the news of Ning Feng's survival spread, his father would definitely not let it go. No matter what, this time, if Ning Feng hadn't intentionally spared him, he probably would have died as well. 。The Empress was certain who the assassin was: "Who else could it be That cripple has gotten up and is now favored by His Majesty. Almost all of the imperial city's troops are under his command. Even Imperial Consort Shu is being arrogant. If it wasn't them, then who else could it be""Mother, my third brother has already returned most of the military power in the city to me. He doesn't have any ulterior motives! Besides, even if we add up all the troops under our command, it's still not the entire imperial city's forces. We only need to find the Golden Feather Order to truly control all of the imperial city's troops!" Qian Sichin didn't have as much suspicion towards Qian Yi'an. 。"The Gold Feather, which had your father searching for half his life, remains lost. It's unknown who possesses it." 。The Empress was also deeply worried. Her son's position as Crown Prince had always been secure, but Concubine Shu's disabled son suddenly recovered and gained the Emperor's favor. Concubine Shu was ruthless and had been working against her both openly and secretly all these years. She had to be on guard. 。Legend has it that whoever obtains the Golden Feather Decree can seize the throne. If Cha's son were to obtain the legendary Golden Feather Decree, then his position as Crown Prince would be secure. 。"Mother, this son will definitely find a way to get the Golden Feather Order!" Qian Sichin also knows that finding the Golden Feather Order is the only way to secure his position, and to get Ge'er, he must obtain that position. Therefore, the Golden Feather Order is absolutely necessary for him. 。"Chen'er, Your Majesty's health is deteriorating day by day. He now listens to the State Teacher’s every word, and that State Teacher’s adopted daughter is about to marry that cripple. Their intentions are now as clear as day. You must be careful!" 。The Empress, after all, has spent decades navigating the treacherous waters of the inner palace. She's very good at reading people. 。"Mother, please rest assured, your son knows what to do." 。When it comes to power, Qian Si Chen is much more clear-headed than when it comes to love. 。The Empress sighed: “That Xiao Yuge has already gotten close with your little uncle. Listen to your mother’s advice, don’t get yourself too involved. After all, she is a woman of good fortune, destined to marry you” 。Although Xiao Yu Ge is very beautiful, the world lacks nothing more than beauties. You will inherit the throne in the future, and you will have any kind of beauty you want. Therefore, her existence only means she is a woman of good fortune. 。She knew her son too well. The way he was protecting Xiao Yuge just now, it was likely that his heart had already been lost. 。"Mother..." A trace of bitterness flashed across Qian Si Chen's eyes, his heart had long been lost. 。"You see, why didn't you listen to me earlier Your mother told you so many times not to let go of the pearl and fish-eye. You didn't believe her, now you're suffering the consequences, aren't you" 。 "Long before Qian Si Chen fell deeply in love with Xiao Yu Fu, swearing that he wouldn't marry anyone else, the Empress had warned him, urging him not to do something he would regret. As always, women have a knack for intuition. Even back then, the Empress saw through Xiao Yu Ge's captivating beauty. It was simply her poor son who was blinded by Xiao Yu Fu at the time. 。iaoyao"I've seen Young Master! Don't listen to his nonsense! I'm just a physician!" Xiao Yuge slapped Qian Tingxuan on the hand."Oh, Doctor" Wu Chengzong looked at Qian Tingxuan with a hint of amuseme...
