"It seems that you have found the Queen Mother's weakness!" Lu Yichen understood, "Then it seems that your affairs will definitely go smoothly."

"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded with a smile, "So, I will go to the Queen Mother to have a good talk tomorrow. I think she should also understand the righteousness and will definitely make Nangong Xin pay the price for what she has done."

Lu Yichen smiled and said nothing more.

Early the next morning, Zhong Nianyao went directly to the Queen Mother's palace, and Lu Yichen did not follow her. Firstly, it was the Queen Mother's bedroom after all, and it was not convenient for him, an outsider, to go in. Secondly, there were some things that she still wanted to talk to the Queen Mother alone.

Lu Yichen didn't say anything and just stayed. It was just right that he could still keep an eye on Zhong Mingxin. They were also worried if Zhong Mingxin stayed alone in the Imperial Master's Hall.

Soon, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the Queen Mother's palace. She didn't even need the palace servants to pass her on, and went straight into the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The palace maids and guards outside naturally wanted to stop it, but Zhong Nian Yao just glanced at them lightly, and they were like petrified. They began to feel fear in their hearts, and even their legs and feet began to tremble.

At this time, they clearly realized that the man in front of them was the national teacher, a figure who had once been a powerful figure in the Li Kingdom and had saved the people of the Li Kingdom from danger. In front of such a person, they felt that it was difficult for them to breathe, and they dared not make any unnecessary movements.

At this time, the Queen Mother was having breakfast with Nangong Xin. Neither of them spoke to each other and the atmosphere was a little quiet, even scary.

In such an environment, Nangong Xin even felt like she couldn't eat. However, she didn't dare to complain, because she knew very well that the only person who could protect her was the Queen Mother.

In fact, her heart was full of confusion. She didn't know why the Queen Mother came forward to save her.

Before she reached the age of marriage, she was raised in the palace. Or, to be more precise, she was raised in the Queen Mother's palace.

However, although she grew up in the Queen Mother's palace, she was not very close to the Queen Mother. It can even be said that they only saw each other once a month. On the 15th of every month, she went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. It was only at this time that she saw the Queen Mother.

It can be said that there is no affection between her and the Queen Mother at all, so when the Queen Mother suddenly came forward to save her yesterday, she was shocked.

However, no matter what the Queen Mother's motivation was for keeping her, it was her only lifeline now.

However, what puzzled her most was that after bringing her back, the Queen Mother did not explain anything to her and showed no concern for her.

She was really confused as to why the Queen Mother was willing to come forward to protect her.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask it." The Queen Mother's majestic voice sounded, "Don't be timid here. You don't have the demeanor of a noble family at all."

There was a hint of disdain in that tone.

Suddenly, Nangong Xin felt a little aggrieved. However, it was the Queen Mother who embarrassed her, so she couldn't say anything. She could only reply aggrievedly, "No."

Seeing Nangong Xin's appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, "Why don't you look like your mother at all? You look so petty, I really don't know who you look like." Nangong Xin didn't dare to reply.

The Queen Mother frowned and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a sudden change.

"Who are you--"

A sharp voice rang out, and the person who shouted was none other than Li Ma, the empress dowager's personal attendant. She was startled by the sound that suddenly came in from outside.

All of a sudden, everyone's attention was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared at the door. After taking a closer look, they found that the person who came was none other than the resurrected state master who had been rumored to have died for some time.

"How dare you!" Li Ma shouted, "Who are you? How dare you barge into the Queen Mother's palace? How many lives do you have?"

"I have several lives, so you don't need to worry about them." Zhong Nianyao walked in leisurely without stopping, "I came here today mainly to have a good chat with the Queen Mother."

"How dare you." It was still Nanny Li who spoke. "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to say such things? The Queen Mother is of noble status. How can you just cling to her casually?"

The Queen Mother said nothing and let Nanny Li speak.

Obviously, what Li Mama meant was what she meant. She looked down on Zhong Nianyao, and she would not look at her differently just because people outside spread the rumor that she was the imperial teacher.

The moment Nangong Xin saw Zhong Nianyao coming in, her heart immediately jumped into her throat. She naturally remembered Zhong Nianyao. It was because of Zhong Nianyao that she ended up like this today. She was really worried about what Zhong Nianyao would do to her.

Now that she saw the Queen Mother's attitude, she was relieved. It was obvious that the Queen Mother didn't care about Zhong Nianyao at all, so as long as the Queen Mother was willing to protect her, she would be fine.

After listening to Nanny Li's words, Zhong Nianyao was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

Just as Li Ma was about to open her mouth to scold again, she saw Zhong Nianyao's light eyes. Suddenly, all the words of scolding were choked in her throat, and she could no longer utter a single word.

Obviously, there was no extra emotion in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes, but she felt an unprecedented fear. It was as if she was being stared at by the underworld, as if she was an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.

The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao with a hint of disdain and coldness in her eyes, "Who do you think you are? Why do you think I will agree to your request?"

"You are wrong, Queen Mother." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. Although she didn't say anything, her tone was a little strong. "I am asking, not requesting. I am not discussing this with you, but informing you."

That arrogant attitude directly made the Queen Mother's face darken. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
