"See Mother off." The Emperor shouted respectfully, looking at Xuan Yuan Ye who was holding Meng Dui Ying, his eyebrows slightly raised.

  After the Empress Dowager and her entourage left, the Emperor turned to the Empress with a sudden change in expression, his face sinking, and said coldly, "Speak, what's going on?"

  "Your Majesty, I really didn't hit her, she hit me. Look at the wounds on my body." The empress cried out with a wronged expression, "Originally, I just called her over to sit for a bit, but unexpectedly, she suddenly went mad and then hit..."

  His Majesty didn't even look at the Empress's wounds, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a cold voice again, "I asked you what did you do to her?"

  The queen's body trembled slightly, and the emperor's narrowed eyes flashed with cold light. "You really have a big nerve. This time, let's see how the empress dowager will spare you."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't look at the empress again and turned away coldly.

  "Your Majesty, I..." The Empress wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the Emperor's guard.

  Xuanyuan Ye hugged Meng Fuying back to He Shou Palace, and the Empress Dowager hastily ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.

  Meng Fu Ying thought about how to explain to the Empress Dowager, if it were only the Empress Dowager alone, it would be easy to say, but now Xuan Yuan Ye is also here...

  At this moment, she was still tightly held in his arms, her body close to his chest, and she could clearly feel his temperature, faintly feeling his heartbeat, her body involuntarily tensed up.

  "How much longer do you want to pretend? Or are you going to stay stuck on me like this, unable to let go?" Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes gazed at the stiff body in his arms, speaking in a low voice, with a hint of teasing and a faint smile.

  At this moment, there are only two of them in the Shou Palace, and also the Empress Dowager, so there is no need to worry about anything.

  Meng Fu Ying suddenly opened her eyes, looking at him with a hint of astonishment. It turned out that he had known all along that she was pretending, so what did his previous words mean?

  In shock, he quickly jumped down from his body.

  Xuanyuan Ye felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, as if there was something faintly empty in his heart, and he seemed to have a slight reluctance.

  "Shadow, you were pretending?" The Empress Dowager was completely stunned this time, her face filled with incredulity as she gazed at Meng Cuo Ying, but a clear joy also spread across her face. As long as her Shadow didn't have any problems, everything was fine.

  "Grandma Huang, I'm sorry, I just..." Meng Bufei looked at her with a hint of apology, recalling her anxiety and worry from earlier, feeling somewhat guilty.

  "It's all right, as long as nothing happens to the young master." The Empress Dowager had a benevolent smile on her face, and her eyes swept over Xuan Yuan Ye. In the depths of her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of unusual light, and she said again, "Then I'll go tell them, no need to send for the imperial physician."

  The words had barely left his lips when he turned and walked away.

  Not even asking about Meng Fu Ying's situation, they just left like that.

  Meng Fu Ying's heart was once again filled with a strong sense of warmth, the Empress Dowager had always been so doting on her, even if she knew Meng Fu Ying had done something wrong, she would still protect her without hesitation. This kind of love, how could it not move her?

  Xuanyuan Ye saw her slightly dazed expression and his eyes flickered, saying in a low voice again, "You acted well."

  Meng Fu's eyes widened in surprise as he suddenly remembered something and involuntarily exclaimed in a low voice, "Could it be you?"

  Wasn't the person who just helped her outside Xuan Yuan Ye?

  But how could it be him? He actually helped her beat the queen?

  Is it possible?

  Astonishment, unbelievable astonishment, she couldn't believe that person was Xuan Yuan Ye.

  Xuanyuan Ye's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't respond.

  No answer is also no denial, and for him, it's just a default.

  Meng Fu Ying's lips twitched violently, heavens, this matter is also too absurd, she hit the queen, while Xuan Yuan Ye helped outside, it's really...

  However, it's quite addictive...

  Anyway, he helped her, and Meng Cuiying was about to thank him.

  But he saw a pair of eyes looking at her up and down, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

  Xuanyuan's lips curled up slightly at the corners, his eyebrows lightly raised, and his red lips moved slowly as he said, word by word, "The look just now was truly..."?

  His words paused for a moment, as if searching for an appropriate adjective.

  Meng Fu's shadow stopped moving, and he suddenly remembered his own crazy appearance just now.

  He must be really ugly, looking at his hesitant appearance, I couldn't help but feel a bit depressed, and angrily said, "Very ugly, very scary, right?"

  Xuanyuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to suddenly say those two words. Her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't speak. However, the corner of her eyebrow seemed to twitch again.

  "Hmph, now you've seen it, are you scared? If you're afraid, then don't marry me. Otherwise, I'll make sure your royal estate is never at peace every day." Meng Cuiying threatened opportunely.

  She knew that her sudden madness was indeed terrifying enough.

  If he's really scared and doesn't marry her, then it would be for the best.

  After all, a man like him would surely want to marry a gentle and virtuous beauty who can manage the household well; she seems quite unsuitable.

  "There are only a few people in the palace who know about this." Xuan Yuan Ye's sensual lips moved slightly again, and his low voice seemed to carry a hint of shallow smile.

  Meng Fu Ying was stunned again, what did he mean that there were only a few people in his palace?

  There aren't many people, so why be afraid of her making a fuss?

  Still...?

  "Right, although your expression just now was indeed...” Seeing Meng Fu Ying's slightly stunned look, his lips curled up slightly, and his words paused for a moment. When she looked at him again, he continued, "But it didn't scare me, the king."

  Meng Fu Ying gazed at him with a slightly dazed expression. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his usual coldness and gained some inexplicable strangeness.

  "Shadow girl, look at you, your face is all dirty." Just as she was slightly dazed, the Empress Dowager walked in again, gazing at her with a hint of a smile that held several layers of meaning.

  "Come here, let Grandma Emperor wipe it for you." Before Meng Cuiying could react, the handkerchief in the Empress Dowager's hand had already wiped her face.

  Meng Fu's subconscious furrowed her brow, how could her face possibly be dirty? Just now the empress and those palace maids didn't even touch her.

  As the handkerchief approached, Meng Cuo Ying's eyes suddenly widened, and on this handkerchief, there was a familiar medicinal scent, which was the smell of the medicine that could remove her facial disguise.

  Could it be the Empress Dowager?
