The person who came was none other than the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother asked Ning Zhiyuan to take her daughter to the First Assistant's Mansion today. She thought she would be back soon.

Who would have thought that she was waiting around in the mansion, and Chu Ling'er was nowhere to be seen until almost evening.

Now the Queen Mother couldn't sit still at all.

She hurriedly led her men and horses to kill her. No matter what happened to her daughter, she would always feel at ease when she saw it with her own eyes.

Who would have thought that Yan Qingzhou would be so arrogant and that the servants in the palace would dare to stop her at the door? The Queen Mother was already filled with anger. Who would have known that she would see this scene when she came in?

Yan Qingzhou dared to do this to Ning Zhiyuan... The Queen Mother looked around, but did not see her beloved daughter, and her face couldn't help but become even uglier.

"Yan Qingzhou, what did you do to the Ai family's feathers?" The Queen Mother looked directly at Yan Qingzhou with her sharp eyes, full of annoyance.

The two parties immediately began to confront each other.

Yan Qingzhou was wearing a black gold robe, and his angular profile looked like a ghost in the flickering light.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, he did not put down his foot on Ning Zhiyuan's face, but turned his solemn eyes towards the Queen Mother, his dark pupils narrowed, as deep as a whirlpool.

"The Queen Mother is here?" Yan Qingzhou opened her thin lips and spoke in a light voice, as if the person in front of her was not the current Queen Mother, but an ordinary woman.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Wei Chen next to him: "Move the stool."

This is what it means to ask Wei Chen to move a stool for the Queen Mother to sit on.

Wei Chen moved a stool from the side and put it behind the Queen Mother with a normal expression, but was glared hard by the maid beside the Queen Mother.

This old nanny is the Queen Mother's maid, and her status has always been extremely respected in the palace. This time, seeing the chief assistant being so disrespectful to the Queen Mother, she couldn't help but sneered:

"Lord Yan, do you have the royal law in your eyes? Now that the Queen Mother has come to the Yan Mansion in person, you are not even willing to salute?"

The old nun in the palace did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. As the Queen Mother practiced in the palace for many years, the old nun's eyes were vicious and her heart was three points harder than a stone.

Such a slave can say things that are inconvenient for the Queen Mother to say.

The old grandma was also smart enough to take advantage of Yan Qingzhou's etiquette to get Qiao.

It is an indisputable fact that Yan Qingzhou did not salute the Queen Mother immediately. As long as this matter is confirmed, Yan Qingzhou will be taken advantage of by them and be inferior to them.

This old lady had a good idea, but she tested the wrong person.

Is Yan Qingzhou an ordinary person?

Facing the old mama's accusation, his expression remained as usual, without even the slightest wavering.

The Queen Mother looked at Yan Qingzhou with vigilant eyes, her eyes were thoughtful and thoughtful.

She and Huang'er had really underestimated Yan Qingzhou before.

She had always believed that although Yan Qingzhou was a bit cold-tempered, he was still a loyal minister of the country.

The same is true behind Chu Xun's words.

How could they have such naive thoughts towards such a man with wolfish ambitions!

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, revealing a ruthless and vicious light in the slits of her eyes. She was determined not to let this person go easily.

Just because he is flouting the rules of the imperial court today, it is not impossible to replace him in the future...

The Queen Mother has not forgotten that Yan Qingzhou had led troops to fight in several beautiful battles before, and many soldiers respected him highly.

Yan Qingzhou's prestige in the army is not low. As for how many tiger talismans she has in her hands, she has not asked the emperor about this.

But the Queen Mother was certain that Yan Qingzhou must have military power in his hands.

There is no doubt about this.

The two looked at each other in silence. The difference was that one was stepping on Ning Zhiyuan, while the other had his hands clasped in front of him. The same thing was that his eyes were cold.

This is a silent tug of war.

The Queen Mother couldn't help feeling a little regretful at this time.

Seeing that Chu Ling'er had not returned home for a long time, she felt really worried, so she hurried to the Chief Minister's Mansion without even bringing any people with her.

If Yan Qingzhou is really ambitious, it is not impossible to imprison the mother and daughter together in the mansion tonight.

At that time, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the emperor.

"The Queen Mother!" The tug-of-war between the two was really too long. Ning Zhiyuan's face was pressed to the ground, and he couldn't bear it anymore:

"Master Yan, he has arrested the princess and locked her up!"

He spoke loudly, making sure the Queen Mother could hear him.

The Queen Mother's eyes widened for a moment, her eyes like sharp swords were directed towards Yan Qingzhou, and her tone was extremely angry:

"You Yan Qingzhou is such a good minister to the emperor!"

She sneered a few times: "Where have you imprisoned Ling'er? Hand over Ling'er from the Ai family quickly. If there is anything wrong with Ling'er from the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely cut you into pieces!"

Chu Ling'er was the Queen Mother's Achilles' heel. Whenever Chu Ling'er was mentioned, the Queen Mother could not calm down.

Ning Zhiyuan also knew this, so he told Chu Ling'er's whereabouts at this time.

"Shattered corpse... ten thousand pieces?" Yan Qingzhou read these four words slowly between his lips and teeth, his tone was very soft, as if he was just whispering: "Ha——"

As if to match his last disdainful snort.

The soles of his feet pressed Ning Zhiyuan extremely hard, even harder than before.

The unexpected force made Ning Zhiyuan, who was delicate and muscular, cry out in pain. His face was completely squeezed into a ball by the force. He looked completely unattractive. How could he still look like a handsome young man?

As if to punish him for speaking disobediently, Yan Qingzhou slowly leaned over and pulled out a finely crafted dagger from his boot.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the Queen Mother, she pulled Ning Zhiyuan up from the ground.

Ning Zhiyuan was thin and thin, so Yan Qingzhou effortlessly grabbed his collar and picked him up easily.

It's like catching a chicken.

"Zheng——" The sound of the sword being unsheathed was mind-numbing.

The scabbard wrapping the blade was separated from it, and the sword blade glowing with cold light looked extremely frightening under the dim light.

The Queen Mother recognized it at a glance as a dagger that could be called a divine weapon and was gifted to him by the emperor after he led troops to quell the war in the northwest.

Legend has it that this weapon can cut iron like clay and is so sharp that it can cut even a strand of hair brushed against it.

This madman, he actually carries it with him!

And now he took it out and lifted Ning Zhiyuan from the soles of his feet.

Today's Yan Qingzhou makes the Queen Mother particularly unbelievable. Looking at all this, the Queen Mother still feels unreal.

What exactly did Yan Qingzhou want to do? Did he want to kill Ning Zhiyuan in front of him?

How could he?

How dare he!

Ning Zhiyuan was frightened by the extremely close sword light. He looked very frightened and shouted for help:

"The Queen Mother, please save this junior! For the sake of your friendship with this junior's grandmother, please save this junior!"

At this moment, he looked panicked, no different from the people on the street who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and very different from the aristocratic young master who usually behaved in a self-contained manner.
