Chu Mohan said, "Grandson knows. The grandson just wanted to tell the royal brother that this marriage should be postponed. Sun Er and Wan Xiang have a very strong relationship, and they don't want it to affect each other's emotions."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally relented: "Han'er, I promise you about this matter, I will consider it, you can rest assured, I will not wronged Wanxiang."

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Chu Mohan bowed.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand to signal him to stand down.

Chu Wanxiang sat in the side hall and waited for more than an hour, and finally heard a voice outside, the emperor was coming. She hurried out, but when she saw the emperor's face clearly, she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

Chu Duliang, it turned out to be the emperor!

Her hands trembled, and she looked at the emperor in front of her in disbelief.

The emperor looked at her for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xiang'er, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"Uncle Huang......" she stumbled, "Uncle Huang, why are you here?"

"Xiang'er," the emperor sighed, his words filled with grievances, "I am really a failure, the king of a country is unable to protect his daughter, and you want a weak woman to come forward to protect me. Xiang'er, you've suffered all this time!"

"No, no, no!" Chu Wanxiang shook her head again and again, "Your Majesty, I'm not bitter, I can save the people from danger, I'm not bitter at all."

Chu Wanxiang looked at Jiang Qiyun beside the emperor: "Uncle Huang, are you here for the Jiang family's business?" Is the imperial sister-in-law in danger?"...

The emperor said in a deep voice, "She has committed the crime of treason, and according to the law, she should be put to death. When I gave birth to a healthy and intelligent prince for me, I spared her life and demoted her to a commoner. As for your third brother, I will kill him. Don't worry, I won't do you any wrong."

"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!" Chu Wanxiang was grateful: "I will definitely persuade the third brother to give up revenge and live up to the emperor's kindness."

The Emperor nodded, "Go ahead."

Chu Wanxiang thanked her again and turned around to go out. Chu Mohan was waiting for her, saw her come out, and pulled her into the carriage.

"What did the imperial brother tell you just now?" As soon as Chu Mohan got into the carriage, he couldn't help but ask.

"The emperor asked me to persuade the third brother to give up revenge and stop holding the Jiang family responsible." Chu Wanxiang said, "I promised him."

"Xiang'er." Chu Mohan suddenly stretched out his hand to hug her: "I'm worried, I'm afraid you'll blame me."

"Why should I blame you? I know you're here for our future." Chu Wanxiang leaned on his shoulder: "If it were me who encountered this kind of thing, I would do the same as you." Although the royal brother is mediocre, he also has merit."

"Hmm."

"Don't worry, I'll protect myself." She comforted him softly, caressing his chest, "Don't you always frown, can you smile?"

Chu Mohan reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth.

They ate outside, and after dinner, Chu Mohan chatted with Chu Wanxiang for a while, and then left. Chu Wanxiang was in a daze in the house, and suddenly remembered the events of the day.

During the day, she was injured by Jiang Qiyun because she wanted to escape from the palace and was discovered by the guards. Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time and saved her. At that time, she was held hostage by the guards, and she didn't know what the emperor told her, and then the emperor ordered the guards to let her go.

Could it be that the emperor recognized her? Chu Wanxiang couldn't understand that she and the emperor had never met, so how could they talk about acquaintance?

At night, Chu Wanxiang couldn't sleep, so she simply got out of bed with her clothes on, ready to go out for a walk and eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the courtyard, he saw Jiang Qiyun pacing around the courtyard. When she saw Chu Wanxiang, she was surprised, and knelt down in front of Chu Wanxiang and begged her: "The queen mother saves the concubine!"

Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and then helped her up: "Jiang Guiren, please get up."

Jiang Qiyun burst into tears and sobbed and said, "After the emperor is going to be abolished, he will abolish the title of concubine, and the concubine is unwilling, the concubine is already pregnant for more than eight months, and she will give birth in a few days......

Chu Wanxiang suddenly realized that the emperor was going to abolish the queen.

"Why did the emperor depose you?"

Jiang Qiyun cried: "The emperor said that I and the prince gave and received each other privately, and did not abide by women's morals. It's easy to do it if it's an ordinary person, but it's a pity that the concubine is Jiang Cheng

The eldest daughter of the prime minister, with a noble status. The emperor said that no matter what, I am the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, and I must not leave an imperial heir."

Chu Wanxiang sneered in her heart. Prime Minister Jiang's eldest daughter? Jiang Qiyu is a concubine.

Chu Wanxiang comforted: "This palace will try its best to persuade the emperor, don't worry."

"The Queen." Jiang Qiyun grabbed her and pleaded with her: "Queen Mother, how loyal do you tell the emperor about the concubine? If the concubine is willing to remarry the crown prince, is the emperor willing to pardon the concubine's sins?"

Chu Wanxiang hesitated, she wasn't sure if Jiang Qiyu still had feelings for Chu Moran. If not, then she certainly won't agree. If Jiang Qiyu has feelings, then the emperor is afraid that he will refuse, after all, Chu Moran and Chu Wanyu are the princes.

"I'll try." Chu Wanxiang thought for a long time and said softly.

Jiang Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Chu Wanxiang bowed slightly.

"I'll step back first." Jiang Qiyun bowed and retreated.

"Xiang'er." Old Madam Lin called out to her, "I'll rest here tonight and stay with you for the night."

"Queen Mother, why don't you rest?" Chu Wanxiang hugged the old lady: "Queen Mother, your body is important."

"I'm fine." Mrs. Lin said, "Today, I heard that Jiang was punished, and I was frightened. I'm old and don't understand the twists and turns in the court, but I heard that the emperor wants to depose the queen, so I have a suggestion, I don't know if to say it?"

"Queen, please speak."

"The Jiang clan has committed such a heinous crime, and it is deserving to be connected with the nine clans. Since the emperor is deposed, he should exterminate the nine clans, otherwise he will set an example."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

"Xiang'er, what are you laughing at?" Old Madam Lin asked strangely, and added, "What I said may be a little inappropriate, but I am also for your good."

Chu Wanxiang raised her eyes and looked into the eyes of Old Madam Lin: "I'm not smiling. Mother, I just think that your words are very reasonable."

She paused for a moment and said, "No matter what the Jiang family does, it is my mother's family, and it is the power that my father once relied on, how can I put it in trouble?"

Old Madam Lin shook her head: "The Jiang family has lost power."

"But the foundation of the Jiang family is still there, and my father is still alive, so he should not be underestimated." Chu Wanxiang said firmly: "If the emperor wants to move the Jiang family, I would rather die with him!"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken, Xiang'er." Old Madam Lin sighed and said, "You have forgotten that the emperor has not long ascended the throne and needs to consolidate his authority, and it is not beneficial for you to quarrel with him."

"So, Queen Mother, what do you want me to do?"

"The emperor is so disgusted with the Jiang family, the Jiang family must suffer. As for Jiang Qiyun, he only needs to be grounded for three months before the punishment can be lifted."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and was silent. She thought in her heart that this matter would not only involve the royal family, but also affect Prime Minister Jiang's political position.
