My wife is not a demon

Faced with Bai Xianyu's initiative to take responsibility, the Queen Mother remained silent.

She held up the teacup with her orchid fingers, looked at Chen Mu Youyou and asked, "Who does Lord Chen think the responsibility lies with?"

Chen Mu didn't care about any taboos, and he didn't bother to say compliments, so he simply said straightforwardly: "I believe that the empress dowager and the emperor should be responsible for the Dongzhou rebellion."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Xianyu was shocked.

Now that something like this happened in Dongzhou, the queen mother was already upset, so she couldn't add fuel to the fire at this time.

She wanted to smooth things over, but the Queen Mother said: "Xiao Yuer, don't talk."

Bai Xianyu had no choice but to keep silent.

The Queen Mother stared at Chen Mu through the beaded curtain with her narrow and charming eyes and asked, "What is the responsibility of the Ai family? Do you think that Du Biwu was saved by the Ai family back then, so the cause of this confusion lies with the Ai family?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "Of course not."

"Oh? What is that?"

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips curled up, asking questions with great interest.

Chen Mu said bluntly: "The queen mother sent the humble officer and Master Suzaku to Dongzhou, not only for the purpose of Tiandihui. If the queen mother had told us about the situation in Dongzhou earlier, perhaps the more than 2 people could have been saved."

"Master Chen is very concerned about the deaths of those [-] people?"

"Shouldn't you care? Although the [-] people are mobs, they were just being bewitched by others. I had already obtained the antidote, but Master Yu killed them all, and among the people who were beheaded, there were still There are some normal civilians, old and young, even children less than one year old! The Empress Dowager should really go and see with her own eyes those innocent people who were killed in vain. Those are your people! If you say you have no responsibility, then Who is responsible!"

Chen Mu said a lot, and his tone became more and more serious, as if he wanted to pour out all the suppressed emotions at this moment.

Bai Xianyu tried to signal her husband to restrain herself several times, but the other party ignored her at all. The anxious woman could only secretly pray that the Queen Mother would not be too angry.

Fortunately, the queen mother did not show any annoyance from beginning to end.

She just looked at Chen Mu calmly, until the other party finished speaking, and then slowly said: "Aijia can understand Mr. Chen's mood, and Aijia will not explain or evade this matter, but there is one thing to tell Mr. Chen, Believe it or not, Aijia doesn't know as much about Dongzhou as you think.

When I sent you to Dongzhou, it was indeed for the Tiandihui.Of course, I hope you can find out something in Eastern State, too.As for those Dongzhou people who died, Aijia will take responsibility. "

Hearing such sincere words from the queen mother, Chen Mu couldn't say anything.

While Bai Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little surprised at the Queen Mother's attitude.

According to the temperament of the queen mother in the past, it was impossible to explain patiently and sincerely while being criticized by officials. I always felt that the queen mother was afraid of affecting the image of the other party in her heart, so she quickly explained.

This is somewhat similar to some women who make mistakes in love.

Always afraid of being misunderstood by men.

But Bai Xianyu didn't think the Queen Mother would fall in love with her husband. It is estimated that the Queen Mother was really guilty in her heart, so she was so sincere.

"Your Majesty has also come to Dongzhou," said the Queen Mother.

Chen Mu nodded and said: "I have already guessed before, and more than 2 mobs were killed in Dongzhou City, I suspect that it is the power given by His Majesty."

The queen mother frowned deeply: "Why do you think so? After all, those mobs had already rushed out of the city gate at that time. Once they spread, many people will be infected by Gu insects."

"First, the city gate was completely sealed when I left. Those mobs didn't have large siege equipment, so it was difficult to break open the city gate within two days."

Chen Mu's eyes were burning, and he continued. "Secondly, I found some normal corpses in the pile of corpses. It is impossible for these people to leave the city gate with the mob. They must be hiding somewhere, but they were killed in the end.

Thirdly, I have already promised to bring the antidote. In that case, it would be good for everyone if the villagers suffered fewer casualties. However, Yu Chou killed them in advance. It seems that I am a little afraid that I will really find the antidote .

Fourth, with Yu Chou's power, it is impossible to order a massacre as a last resort.And it happened that His Majesty came, so...

In short, I think that although Prince Yunzheng's charge of treason is true, it seems more like someone is using him. "

Listening to Chen Mu's analysis, the Empress Dowager lowered her head and pondered, she lifted the lid of the cup in her hand over and over again to remove the foam from the tea leaves in the cup, and asked after a long time, "Do you have any other discoveries?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "No."

"How's the situation over there at the Tiandihui?" The queen mother seemed unwilling to get entangled in this matter, so she changed the subject.

Hearing this question, Bai Xianyu's heart skipped a beat.

After all, Chen Mu has become the rudder master of Nanfeng Rudder, so the Queen Mother's eyeliner information should have been found out.

Chen Mu was expressionless: "The Tiandihui wants to win me over. I am now the rudder owner of the Nanfeng Helm, but the Nanfeng Helm is very chaotic and basically separated from the Tiandihui. After all, even if it is I gave me a helmsman, but I couldn't find any useful information."

"Sub-helm master..."

The woman's cherry lips sipped the tea lightly, thoughtfully.

Chen Mu said again: "In addition, the queen mother asked me to investigate the injury of the chief rudder of the Tiandihui and what treasure he got. I have almost done the investigation."

"What is it?" The queen mother came back to her senses.

Chen Mu replied: "The chief rudder of the Heaven and Earth Society snatched a magic weapon that can manipulate 'things beyond the sky'. As for his injury, it is serious but not fatal."

"Can you manipulate things beyond the sky?"

The Empress Dowager looked a little surprised, then laughed. "There are a lot of ambitious people."

She stared at the figure of the man Wei'an in the gap of the bead curtain, and her voice returned to the softness before: "Chen Aiqing, I didn't think well before sending you to Dongzhou this time.

But you stopped Prince Yunzheng's conspiracy, even if the Dongzhou Rebellion happened later, this credit should be credited to you.After returning to Beijing, the Ai family will consider rewarding you. "

"There is no need for rewards. I hope the Queen Mother can send someone to bury those common people properly."

Chen Mu clasped his fists and said sincerely.

The queen mother smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aijia will do it even if you don't say it. But Aijia believes that someone will do it well in advance."

Chen Mu's eyes moved.

Now the little emperor is the beneficiary, and if he can bury those common people, he will indeed gain some fame.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, let's go down and rest first. The Ai family still has something to say to Xiao Yu'er, and other things will be dealt with after returning to Beijing."

The queen mother issued an order to expel Chen Mu.

Chen Mu glanced at his wife, saluted and said, "Resign from the humble position."

When Chen Mu left the room, the Queen Mother opened the beaded curtain in front of her, revealing a beautiful and ethereal dimple: "Xiao Yuer, come here."

Bai Xianyu obediently entered the back room.

The queen mother motioned her to sit beside her, held the woman's slightly cold catkin, and asked, "Tell Aijia honestly, have you and Chen Mu already..."

Bai Xianyu was startled, knowing that the queen mother began to suspect that she had sex with Chen Mu.
