LOVE OR DESTINY

69

The Queen Mother was obviously upset to hear that, "You might have seduced Cheng'er. But I can see everything clearly! If you continue to stay at the 8th Prince's residence, I don't know what you'll do to Cheng'er again!"

The Queen Mother decided not to extend the crown prince's issue any more. But he could not let Xiao Tan continue to stay in the 8th Prince's residence anymore. Xiao Tan wants to go alone, or does he have to force her?

Xiao Tan reminded the Queen Mother that her marriage to Lian Cheng was an order from the late Emperor, so she did not dare to just leave.

The Queen Mother was annoyed to hear Xiao Tan threatening her with the royal decree and directly accused Xiao Tan of greed, she obviously wanted the position of Crown Princess.

"Mother Suri, not all women wish to be the Prince's foolish Wife or be a foolish consort."

Upset, the Queen Mother directly ordered the maids to slap Xiao Tan. But right then and there, Eunuch Li came to announce the arrival of the Crown Prince.

As soon as Yi Huai entered, the Queen Mother immediately cynically insinuated the prowess of the stratagem that Yi Huai was wearing. Seeing Xiao Tan there, Yi Huai tried to save her by pleading for forgiveness for Xiao Tan.

But the Queen Mother quickly interjected and insinuated them, preferably avoiding suspicion. "You plead for her abilities in front of me? Aren't you afraid that the Emperor and the court officials will hear about this and put your crown prince in danger?"

Just then, the eunuch announced Lian Cheng's arrival. Xiao Tan's smile instantly expanded instantly. Without further ado, Lian Cheng asked the Queen Mother to stop complicating her situation.

He directly dragged Xiao Tan away from there. Yi Huai immediately withdrew. The Queen Mother was really angry with this incident and instantly expelled everyone.

But then, Eunuch Li came to tell him that there was someone finding evidence of nothing. The Queen Mother let the man in.

A hooded woman came in and brought a painting sent by Yi Huai to Tan Er. As soon as she saw the painting, the Queen Mother seemed to understand its meaning.

Shortly after, Eunuch Li went to see Lian Cheng to convey the message of the Queen Mother who wanted to meet Lian Cheng. The Queen Mother said that there was something important that she wanted to talk to Lian Cheng about.

Lian Cheng refused on the grounds that he had other business to take care of. But Eunuch Li insisted on convincing Lian Cheng that what the Queen Mother wanted to say was an important matter. Lian Cheng had to return to the palace with him.

Lian Cheng finally complied and went to see the Empress Dowager who asked if on the day of the crown prince's election, did Lian Cheng go to the Qu residence? Lian Cheng tried to deny it, but the Queen Mother could not believe it.

Even if he was old, but he could clearly see that Yi Huai and Mr. Qu were setting a trap for Lian Cheng and maybe Tan Er to be involved in their plot. Tan Er was clearly Yi Huai's spy.

"Grandmother, please do not make unreasonable estimates. Tan Er is innocent and naive. He has no intention of harming me."
