Chapter 451

Yuan Jie looked at his mother in disbelief.

She didn't believe that this was what the queen mother said.

"Queen, what's the matter with you?" She shook the queen and cried, "You have always stood by my side before, didn't you firmly oppose sending me to be married?"

"Stop arguing, it's causing me a headache." The queen pushed her away, frowned and kneaded the center of her brows, and said, "The queen mother knows that you don't want to get married. It's not like I didn't quarrel with the emperor before because of this matter. What happened? It made your father displeased, and I also fell into such a situation. What do you want from me?"

"Mother, don't say that. Father is angry, not because of this matter. It's not because of what you did to the prince's brother..."

"Shut up!" The queen was furious, and slapped her on the face, "It's fine for others to talk nonsense, even you dare to chew your tongue in front of me!"

Yuan Yan covered his face, tears welled up in his eyes.

She said in a trembling voice: "Mother, you don't love me anymore... In your eyes, is your empress more important than your daughter's lifelong happiness?"

The queen sternly said: "If this palace does not have the status of this queen, where do you think you are happy? Look at Yufu, she is far worse than you in the palace, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Yuan Jie shouted: "I'd rather live like Yufu than get married!"

"You don't want to get married, so what's the use of yelling at this palace? Why don't you think of a way yourself!" The queen gritted her teeth and said, "This palace has become like this, and you still make trouble. Are you sincerely wanting your mother to die?"

Yuan Ji burst into tears.

Her heart was full of fear, hesitation and despair.

The emperor doesn't want her anymore, and the queen mother doesn't love her anymore.

The only brother, King Lu, was also imprisoned in King Lu's mansion and could not leave.

Since when did everything change?

Yuan Jie never wanted to understand why he had changed from a princess who was favored by everyone and had a noble status, to what he is today.

The maid came over to persuade her: "Princess, don't worry. The empress is not in a good mood these days, and her body is not comfortable. When she recovers, she will definitely find a way for you. The most important thing now is to let the empress first Take care of yourself."

The queen called on the bed: "Bi Yan, bring the medicine."

The maid hurriedly agreed, went to the bedside box, took out a small bottle, poured out a little powder, held it in a handkerchief, and brought it to the queen.

Impatiently, the queen took the veil, put it in front of her nose, and took a breath, with an intoxicated expression on her face.

Yuan Ji stared blankly at this scene.

"Queen, what is this?" she asked.

The queen was immersed in the wonderful taste and ignored her.

Yuan Ji asked the maid: "Biyan, tell me, what does the queen mother eat?"

Bi Yan said: "Back to the princess, what the empress eats is cold food powder."

"Hanshi powder?" Yuan Ji frowned, "It's so good, why eat this kind of thing? It's only used by those dandy guys outside who have nothing to do."

Bi Yan sighed: "Your Majesty is just eating for fun, to pass the time. Your Majesty is suffering."

"No matter how hard it is, you won't eat this kind of thing. If the emperor knows, he will be angry!" Yuan Jie said, "I ask you, who gave this kind of thing to the queen mother?"

Bi Yan lowered her head: "It's... Chu Zhaoyi."

"Chu Zhaoyi?" Yuan Yan was suspicious, "Why did she send cold food powder to the queen mother?"
