Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 116 The Queen Decides to Give Up the Crown Prince
The prince saw that his mother was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. He frowned and said, "Zhu'er, you should apologize to your mother quickly."

"Mother, I know I was wrong." Wen Mingzhu realized belatedly that she had gone a little too far. After all, this was ancient times, so she quickly admitted her mistake.

The queen was so angry that she glared at Wen Mingzhu and turned to walk towards the inner hall. The prince left Wen Mingzhu and chased after her.

Wen Mingzhu looked at the queen's noble and elegant back. She secretly curled her lips. She called them over late at night and just left without saying a word?
This is too boring!
She complained in her heart: You little bastard, when I become the queen in the future, you will cry.

Wen Mingzhu looked greedily at the various antiques displayed in the main hall of Kunning Palace, gritted his teeth and quickly caught up with the person in front.

Then she took the prince's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "Your Highness, is your mother angry with the baby?"

The queen snorted coldly, and the frightened prince immediately shook off her hand and strode forward, "Mother, wait for me."

Wen Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then ran up to her and shouted in a flattering manner, "Mother..."

The queen did not stop, but seemed to walk even faster, and said coldly, "Don't call me mother."

Wen Mingzhu blinked her eyes and said, "Don't call me mother? Are we going to call her Queen Mother now? Oh, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

The queen was furious and turned around to glare at Wen Mingzhu. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was the reincarnation of a fox charmer who had bewitched her son to the point of losing his mind.

The anger in her heart could not be suppressed no matter how hard she tried. The queen suddenly stopped and asked coldly: "Have you ever learned the rules?"

Wen Mingzhu immediately played dumb and said, "Ah? Your Highness, what does the Queen Mother mean by this?"

"I don't know what mother means." The prince looked at the queen in confusion.

For the first time, the dignified and elegant queen was so angry that she gnashed her teeth: "Wen, I have finally seen that you have never learned the rules!"

Wen Mingzhu felt very aggrieved: "How could that be? It's obviously you who have a bad temper..."

The queen was choked and couldn't speak for a long time, as if an invisible hand was covering her throat and making it impossible for her to breathe.

Her face was as pale as paper, with thin beads of cold sweat oozing from her forehead, as if she might collapse at any moment.

The palace maids and eunuchs rushed forward in fear to support their master, "Quick, call the imperial physician."

Soon, only the sound of messy footsteps and the queen's breathing and twitching echoed in the air.

This strange atmosphere was chilling, and everyone in Kunning Palace felt an unprecedented fear and uneasiness.

Wen Mingzhu was so frightened that she snuggled into the prince's arms, clutching his clothes tightly, as if he was the only support that could give her a sense of security.

Fear and anxiety surged into her heart, causing her body to twitch violently, as if she was suffering from unspeakable pain.

"Don't be afraid, Zhu'er. As long as I'm here, you won't be hurt." The prince's tone was very doting.

It seemed as if he didn't notice that his mother was almost vomiting blood from anger, and he ignored the Queen's extremely ugly expression.

The warm body temperature and faint fragrance from the prince's chest gradually calmed Wen Mingzhu's mood.

She hugged the prince's waist tightly, looking at him with eyes full of unspeakable affection, "Your Highness~ Zhu'er loves you."

That look seemed to be able to pull out the prince's deepest desire. At this moment, the emotions in his heart surged like a tide.

All the noise and disputes around him faded away, and the prince could not resist this strong attraction.

He seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, with only his Zhu'er in his eyes and heart, "Zhu'er, I love you too."

Looking at the two people who were in love, the queen gritted her teeth, feeling anxious, angry and furious. At this moment, she was extremely disappointed with the prince and extremely disgusted with Wen Mingzhu.

He hadn't even taken that position yet and he had already embarrassed her in public. How could she gain a foothold in the harem in the future? !

The Queen's agitated emotions slowly calmed down. She stood up straight and walked to the Prince, "Jue'er, you go back first!"

"Mother, you summoned me to Kunning Palace late at night just to criticize Zhu'er? What's wrong with her?"

The prince frowned and said this, then he hugged Wen Mingzhu and left Kunning Palace without looking back in anger.

He walked a dozen steps, thinking that his mother would call him to stay and coax him with a few words as she did in the past, but unfortunately she didn't do that.

This made the prince feel a little uneasy, but he looked at the weak and elegant woman beside him.

She was the love of his life that he had always cherished in his heart since he was young, but today, he was humiliated by his mother's shameful words.

Thinking of this, the prince was too stubborn to turn back.

The queen could not say that she was heartbroken when she heard the prince, whom she had raised personally, questioning her like this.

She had experienced this kind of scene eight or ten times since the Crown Prince married Concubine Wen, and she had long been accustomed to it.

The ancestral motto of their Su family is to maintain peace and prosperity forever. Her father and the clansmen have devoted all their efforts to the prince.

She just wanted to train a qualified crown prince, but the prince treated her like this before he even took the throne.

So will the prince treat the Su family well after he becomes the emperor?
If not, then is it necessary for her to help Zhao Jue take the position?
All of the emperor's sons called her mother, and the third prince was the sweetest-spoken one, always treating her with special respect.

Her father also said that the third prince was more malleable than the crown prince, it was a pity that he was born a little later.

Today, she summoned Zhao Jue to Kunning Palace, hoping that he would cheer up and perform well to prevent the emperor from disliking him.

The emperor hasn't yet given up on the prince, but she is the one who wants to give up on him first!

"My lady, I feel that Concubine Wen is too..."

The queen stopped her personal maid with a look. The reason why she summoned Wen into the palace was just to warn her not to confuse the prince again.

Now that she wants to give up the prince, is there any need for her to punish Wen Shi anymore?

The queen stood there looking at the prince's back without even turning his head, thinking to herself.

Now that everything is going well and the prince is in high spirits, it is natural that Wen and he can be affectionate with each other.

I just don’t know if their love can withstand the test of sharing hardships.

Everyone is willing to share happiness, but how many people can share hardships?
Wen Qingwan was completely unaware of the ever-changing situation in the palace. She only cared about making sure the Xiao brothers and sisters were well fed and clothed.

At this late hour of the night, the bedroom was filled with bright candlelight, casting a shadow of her lonely figure.

Normally at this time, she would have been lying in bed, drifting off in dreams. However, today she received a letter from Xiao Jin.

On the rice paper, Xiao Jin wrote down his deep longing for her, and looking at it was as if an unstoppable torrent was surging in his heart.
