The Queen Mother was also very surprised. She did not expect that her son would actually chat with her daughter-in-law, whom she did not like.

He actually came here specifically to save her.

She had a vague premonition in her heart: "You can guarantee that she was definitely not involved in this, right?"

Shen Zaiye nodded: "I can guarantee it, not to mention that she was cooking in the kitchen last night."

"..." The Queen Mother's face darkened, and she felt better knowing that this matter had nothing to do with An Yao.

If she had sent someone to deal with An Yao, and An Yao had done something like this, she would have hated her even more.

But since this matter has nothing to do with her.

The Queen Mother is not the kind of unreasonable person.

After controlling her anger, she sat there dignifiedly like a victim: "The Ai family is just in a hurry. There is no other way. The princess won't mind, right?"

An Yao sat down behind Shen Zaiye, shaking her head pitifully like a little rabbit:

"I don't dare to have any objections. Everything the Queen Mother does is for the people around you. On the contrary, I understand you very well."

Hearing what he said, the Queen Mother sighed. Although she was dissatisfied with her being so close to her son, they were still a legitimate couple, so she could only turn a blind eye:

"In this case, if you have something to do, then leave first."

Hearing this, An Yao nodded as if she had received a pardon, tugged on Shen Zaiye's sleeve, and motioned for him to take her away.

But Shen Zaiyechu didn't move.

Following his gaze, she realized that he and Gu Ling were looking at each other, but there seemed to be no affection in their eyes.

They all seem to be confused.

Gu Ling was confused when he got so close to An Yao, and even came over to help An Yao talk.

What Shen Zaiye was confused about was why An Yao was being tortured here and she, Gu Ling, was also present.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing and went out with An Yao.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Gu Ling's body became even colder. She raised her legs and wanted to follow them, but she turned to look at the Queen Mother and held back.

The moment she walked out of the room, An Yao gave Shen Zaiye a hug:

"Your Majesty, you are so kind. Thank you for coming to save me. If you hadn't come to save me, I would have thought I was really going to die here!"

In full view of the public, even if the two of them were husband and wife, it would be offensive to hug each other like this.

When the servants saw this, they lowered their heads and suppressed the smiles on their lips.

Shen Zaiye froze, pushed her away, and with a suspicious red color rising from his ears, he growled:

"what are you doing?!"

An Yao twisted her sleeves in embarrassment:

"I just wanted to thank you because I thought I was going to be wronged again."

Her voice was very soft, like a good girl.

Shen Zaiye couldn't figure out how this woman could change her expression so quickly. She was sarcastic to him two days ago, and now she was clinging to him like a kitten.

It was difficult for him to adapt: ​​"Don't touch me at all times. Although I and you are husband and wife, there is no marital relationship between the two of us, you know."

An Yao rolled her eyes in her heart, but she looked like she was about to cry:

"I will keep my distance from you and I will never do this again."

Even though he said that, it felt like he had suffered a great deal of grievance.

Shen Zaiye took a breath of air-conditioning somewhat speechlessly.

How many faces does this woman have?

He was very irritable, but he didn't know where the irritability came from:

"Didn't I just tell you not to go anywhere else? Why did you go out anyway?!"

"That's because the Queen Mother calls me, and I dare not disobey. As the Queen Mother's daughter-in-law, shouldn't I still listen to the Queen Mother?"

An Yao said pitifully:

"It's just that when I came here and saw Gu Ling, I thought I was here to help the soldiers, but I didn't expect that Gu Ling also insisted that I was the one who did it. She didn't believe me at all and didn't speak for me. She wished they would beat me."

When it comes to Gu Ling, Shen Zaiye protects the calf very quickly:

"Don't talk nonsense, Gu Ling is not that kind of person!"

Isn't she just that kind of person?

An Yao sneered in her heart and nodded obediently: "I listen to you. If you say Gu Ling isn't, then she isn't."

This was so disgusting that Shen Zaiye couldn't help but shudder and prepared to lead her away.

But at this moment, a hurried little eunuch came in with a brocade box.

Seeing Shen Zaiye, the little eunuch stopped his hurried steps and quickly knelt down to bow:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Shen Zaiye looked at this exquisite gift box that seemed to contain something extraordinary, and there was a lock on it:

"What's this?"

The young eunuch replied: "Aunt Wenxin sent a message and gave me a box of things. I hope the Queen Mother can open it herself!"

An Yao's eyes darkened slightly, she suppressed the smile that raised at the corner of her mouth, and said in surprise:

"Aunt Wenxin gave it to me! Then send it to the Queen Mother as soon as possible!"

The little eunuch nodded repeatedly and hurriedly walked to the main room.

An Yao quickly said to Shen Zaiye: "Let's go and have a look too, see what grandma said, and prove my innocence!"

After saying that, he hurriedly followed.

Indoors, the Queen Mother was opening the letter. She opened it hastily and unfolded it to take a look. The more she looked at it, the darker her face became.

Then she picked up the key inside the envelope and opened the lock. Her hands were still trembling, and she opened the lid and suddenly let out a scream:

"ah--"

As soon as I loosened my grip, the lid fell back, and no one could see what it was.

But the scream startled everyone present.

Gu Ling also saw it clearly, her face instantly turned pale with fright, and she sat down on the ground:

"Aunt Wen Xin, that's from Aunt Wen Xin——"

Nothing he said was clear, so Shen Zaiye stepped forward impatiently and opened the lid.

A bloody head appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The screams started!

The place was in chaos!

The little eunuch who had just come over with the brocade box rolled his eyes and fainted when he saw that he was holding such a thing.

An Yao was also mixed in, pretending to be weak and threw herself behind Shen Zaiye, pulling Shen Zaiye back: "It's so scary, Your Majesty!"

But Shen Zaiye didn't care about her. When he turned around and saw Gu Ling, he was so frightened that he almost cried. He threw An Yao away, rushed up and hugged Gu Ling, and held Gu Ling in his arms:

"It doesn't matter, I am here. Don't be afraid."

An Yao: "..."

Her first wife was in a mess in the wind.

This man is such a dog.

The Queen Mother pointed at the brocade box tremblingly, not daring to open her eyes:

"Hurry up and close the lid! Hurry up! Someone please shut the lid on Aijia!!"

Who dares to close this thing?

There was a bloody human head inside, and Aunt Wenxin didn't even close her eyes, staring straight ahead, which was really scary.

But just when everyone huddled together, a delicate hand quickly closed the lid.

Shen Zaiye turned to look at An Yao.

The fear on her face had not dissipated. After closing the lid, she took a few steps back and huddled in the corner, hugging herself and not daring to say a word.

Even though this guy was very scared, he still walked up and closed the lid?

Shen Zaiye was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding Gu Ling loosened a lot.

Gu Ling also noticed this, and her sense of crisis became even stronger, and she wanted to attract Shen Zaiye's attention:

"Your Majesty, I'm fine——"

Before she finished speaking, she felt her body suddenly being pulled apart by gravity, and then she received a slap:
Chapter completed!
