I give it to you. It's as if she's acknowledging you as her daughter-in-law. So please don't refuse it, or else you'd be disrespecting me and your mother-in-law."Mrs. Xiao spoke so seriously that An X...The Queen glanced down at the jade pendant, which wasn't of very good quality. She didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she said in a grave voice, "What is this"

Since she wasn't answering, Xizi Ke'er didn't indulge her.

Now, he simply withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I seek the token of Valley Master Xún Táng."

“!”

As expected, as soon as the Empress heard the name "Xun Tang Valley," her brow furrowed tightly, and she gritted her teeth, saying, “How did you get this”

“Of course, it was given to me by the princess of Beijiang.”

Hearing the four words "Princess of Beijang" from her, the Empress clenched her fists, anger boiling in her heart.

She indeed wanted to collude with the Northern Border King, and her relationship with the Northern Border Princess was so close.

Such a daughter, dare to say she is not against the enemy and traitorous

Even if she hasn't betrayed the country, her frequent and close contact with the Princess of Beijiang surely indicates that she has developed inappropriate feelings.

She must be planning to use the Northern Frontier King's army to help her ascend to the throne of Xiliang.

Just like she did when she was still a crown princess.

At that moment, the Queen remembered what it was like when she was still a princess.

At that time, she also wanted her mother to abdicate in favor of a younger and more capable ruler, and she corresponded closely with the crown prince of the Blue Nation.

It was all to get the Blue Nation's help. As long as her mother refused to abdicate, she would unite with other countries to force a coup and ascend the throne.

It's because she had once thought about doing this, and her heart was set on it, so she imposed her own ideas onto Xi Zi Ke'er.

I feel like Xizi Ke'er's actions today are exactly the same as they were back then, with the same thoughts as she had before.

She certainly couldn't tolerate someone who constantly coveted her throne continuing to live.

So, whether she truly was a traitor or not, whether she had designs on forcing the palace or rebelling, she had to be made to prove her guilt.

Make her surrender her military power, and ensure she can never rise again.

All that she had previously given to Xizi Ke Ren had already been trained to be extremely loyal.

If we were to hastily withdraw those troops, they might become very discontent.

If she confronted Xizi Ke'er directly, she was also afraid that Xizi Ke'er would go all out and lead those troops straight to the palace.

Then she thought of pinning some crimes on Xizi Ke'er first, directly using those charges to punish her.

Let her step by step fall into the abyss, never to climb out again.

Moreover, she remembered the explosives in Xizi Ke'er's hands. Ever since she learned that the Princess of Beijang had actually given Xizi Ke'er explosives, she dared not use force against Xizi Ke'er rashly.

If she ordered the Imperial Guard to lay siege to Princess Xizhi Ke'er's residence, she was also afraid that Xizhi Ke'er would rebel and use explosives.

By then, she hadn't gotten her hands on the explosives, and they would have resulted in heavy casualties among the Imperial Guard. She knew about the incident where those Imperial Guards were killed by the explosion at the front gate of the Beijang Prince's Mansion, so she was well aware of the power of those explosives.

So now, no matter how urgently she wants Xizi Ke'er to pay the price in her heart, she has to take it step by step.

Xizi Ke'er looked at the Empress's ever-changing face, her own remaining as placid as water. After a moment's pause, she tucked the jade pendant back into her waist.

The Empress, having recovered from her daze at the sight of this action, furrowed her brow and reached out directly. “Show me.”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. This jade pendant was given to me by the Princess of Beijang. It is such a precious gift that I wouldn't dare to take it out easily."

"You..."

The queen was speechless, her chest rising and falling with anger. She truly wished she could just stab this rebellious daughter of hers right where she stood.

To think, she, the esteemed ruler of a nation, had been driven to the brink of death by this rebellious daughter on two separate occasions.

To speak it would make everyone in the world laugh at you.

Ke Xizi Ke'er didn't care about her emotions at all. She wasn't someone who spoiled the sick. She had given it to her before, but she didn't look at it. Now that she wants to see it, will she obediently take it out

You're overthinking it.

This was still what the Princess of Beijiang had taught her this morning.

Before going to court this morning, she went to the courtyard of the Northern Border Princess, actually just an excuse to see the extremely handsome Phoenix Young Master.

But since Master Feng and the Princess of Beijiang were practically inseparable, she could only find an excuse to see the Princess of Beijiang.

She pretty much figured it out. As long as she stayed by the Northern Border Princess's side, she could see Young Master Feng.

This jade pendant was not a gift from the former Princess of Beijiang, as people might assume. It was a plan they had devised together before entering the palace today.

This morning, after she and the North Border Princess, along with Feng Ming, had finished their breakfast, the North Border Princess knew that she was going to court and worried that she wouldn't be able to leave the palace today.

Because last night, the queen and her sister's people had already taken action, it means the queen has completely broken with her.

Since she has already torn up the facade, she naturally won't let go of any opportunity to kill her.

Entering the palace for court, she had no weapons on her person and no guards to accompany her. On the Empress's territory, the Empress could kill her with ease.

Therefore, the princess of Beijiang guessed that she entered the palace today, and there would be a fierce battle between her and the Empress.

The princess said that to get the queen to let her out of the palace completely, she had to act tough enough.

To make the Queen wary enough to refrain from directly harming her.

To put it simply, it's just like pretending to have power by using someone else's authority.

As long as we can intimidate her mother, the rest can wait.

The Northern Frontier Princess made her appear to have extremely close relationships with both the Northern Frontier King and Xuntang Valley.edicine and use it.What are these two father and son up to I can't figure them out.Leihong didn't want to understand too much; he just watched Mo Junyi's wounds, feeling a little bit heartbroken.To be...
