Chapter 61 [61] Give her the heaviest blow

"Evil creature! Even at this point, you are still keeping Mother in suspense! Tell me now!"

Veins bulged on the queen's hands, and she wanted to slap Gong Yixuan in the face to let him know that she also had a temper.

"Depose my son the crown prince and replace him with another prince. I must marry Feng Lingxue as my principal wife, otherwise I will never marry in this life!"

Gong Yixuan kowtowed three times solemnly to the Queen, his eyes full of determination, as if the woman he loved most was Feng Lingxue, and there was no one else in his eyes or heart.

The queen raised her hand and slapped Gong Yixuan hard on the face. She felt her head pounding and her heart ached as if pierced by a sharp blade: "Asshole! Do you know what you are talking about?"

"If you take one wrong step, there will be countless dark hands pulling you down from the throne."

"Why? Are you willing to give up the position of Crown Prince and hand it over to other princes?"

The queen was trembling all over, and tears instantly filled her eyes. For so many years, she had been guarding the harem strictly, and very few royal heirs were born.

Only a handful of people can survive to adulthood after being born. Who could have imagined that the son she had worked so hard to support would give her the heaviest blow and almost take her life!

"That's right! Mother, either help me or let someone else be the crown prince. I'll take my leave now!"

Gong Yixuan was resolute in his attitude and took the slap from the Queen head-on. With a look of astonishment on his face, he insisted on his opinion, bowed to the Queen, and turned away.

The queen was so shocked that she staggered back and fell to the ground. She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears immediately. She wished she could kill Gong Yixuan, the evil son, with her own hands!

"Queen, calm down. His Highness is a very affectionate person! He is a rare and favored child of heaven. If you have a grudge against him at this time, wouldn't it give others an opportunity to take advantage of you?"

Madam Feng was secretly delighted but looked very nervous. She quickly advised the Queen not to act on impulse at this critical juncture.

Feng Lingyun, who followed Madam Feng into the inner room, now knelt beside the Queen, hugged her gently, patted her back, and tears fell: "Queen, Yun'er is willing. Yun'er doesn't want you and the Crown Prince to have any grudges. You are mother and son."

"Yun'er, Yun'er also likes the Crown Prince." Feng Lingyun spoke each word clearly, her voice choked with sobs, but it made Madam Feng and the Queen instantly feel pity for her.

"Yun'er!!!" Although Madam Feng had wanted to do this for a long time, when Feng Lingyun herself proposed that she was willing to be the one to bear Feng Lingxue and Gong Yixuan's child, Madam Feng's heart still ached.

After all, Feng Lingyun was her own flesh and blood. Over the years, she had given all her love to Feng Lingxue and Feng Lingqi, and deliberately raised Feng Lingyun astray. At this moment, the guilt in her heart reached its peak.

"Mother, Yun'er is fine. As long as the Empress, the Crown Prince, mother, and elder sister are all well, Yun'er is willing to do anything. Really, Yun'er is not lying. If Yun'er lies, the heaven will punish her (strike with five thunders)..." Feng Lingyun raised her hand to swear, but the Empress hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes full of pity.

"Shangguan Qingwan! You should be thankful that you gave birth to a good daughter!"

The resentment in the queen's heart disappeared instantly, and she said to Madam Feng.

The Queen held up Feng Lingyun's head with both hands, letting her look directly into her eyes. She then spoke slowly and clearly, "Yun'er, from now on you are both my daughter-in-law and my daughter. I have no regrets today!"

"You, girl, have fulfilled my dream of not having a daughter." The Queen lovingly tidied Feng Lingyun's messy hair. She truly accepted Feng Lingyun from the bottom of her heart, but she hated Feng Lingxue to the extreme.

"Yun'er is very happy that Her Majesty likes her so much. Can Her Majesty agree to Yun'er? Don't be angry with the Crown Prince. Make peace with him, okay?" Feng Lingyun, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, took advantage of the Queen's happiness and quickly pleaded for the Crown Prince.

When the queen saw the expectation in Feng Lingyun's eyes, the gloom in her heart was instantly swept away.

"You are so stupid, girl. What should I do with you?"

A smile appeared on the Queen's face. She didn't know how many years it had been since she had truly loved someone so much and had never been comforted by someone so much.

"Your Majesty, you are the best. You are beautiful and kind-hearted. The prince just loves you too much." Feng Lingyun rubbed her head against the queen's shoulder, portraying the innocence of a little girl to the fullest.

Therefore, even Feng Lingyan and Gong Yanchen, who were hiding in the dark and watching the show, couldn't help but frown. They really wanted to see who Feng Lingyun's ultimate target would be!

"Okay, okay, I will forgive that rebellious son for Yun'er's sake!"

"Madam Feng, please go to the side hall and keep an eye on Feng Lingxue. I will be fine with Yun'er accompanying me."

"Don't worry, I am a man of my words. What I promised you is still valid. But what about you? You haven't fulfilled your promise yet."

The Queen took Feng Lingyun's hand and slowly stood up. She looked deeply at Madam Feng, her eyes full of impatience.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. It is estimated that it is time now." Madam Feng frowned awkwardly. She wanted to go and see how Feng Lingxue was doing. She never expected that Feng Lingxue would bleed heavily after the miscarriage, which would cause her to never get pregnant again.

Madam Feng was even more worried that Feng Lingxue would find out about this. Based on her understanding of Feng Lingxue, she would definitely make a huge fuss.

"That's great. You can go to the side hall and take a look." The queen didn't want to care about anything about Feng Lingxue. She didn't deserve it. In her heart, a simple girl like Feng Lingyun was just what she wanted. She was easy to control and really treated her well.

But they forget that among the daughters brought up in aristocratic families, which one is truly simple and kind?

Madam Feng hurried out of the inner room, but bumped head-on into her personal maid Qiulian.

"Madam, I got the things." Qiu Lian didn't know what to do, so she could only hand the secret letter to Madam Feng.

Madam Feng secretly called him an idiot, but she also knew that things had come to this point, and she had to give the secret letter even if she didn't want to. Otherwise, not only would Xue'er's position as Crown Princess be in jeopardy, but the Queen might even be furious and even Xue'er's life might be in danger.

"Qingwan, has the person who went to get the letter come back?" The Queen did not give Madam Feng a chance to regret. She took Feng Lingyun's hand and quickly walked out of the inner room. She looked at Madam Feng with a smile and called her by her maiden name affectionately.

"Yes, Madam, please check it out. I will go see Xue'er first. I will take my leave now!"

Madam Feng quickly handed the secret letter to the Queen, quickly left the room, and entered the side hall next door to check whether Feng Lingxue had been rescued. Her heart was beating fast and she was extremely uneasy.

"Your Majesty, what letter is this? Why does my mother look so nervous?" Feng Lingyun pretended to be innocent, tilted her head, looked at the queen with a bright smile, and asked softly.
