The queen's heart is unpredictable

"Just listen to Yumei's arrangement." Duanmuqing smiled elegantly after dropping the sunspot, "I lost."

"Second brother let Gu go..." Duanmu Yu picked up the tea on the side and took a sip. Seeing Duanmu Qing's expression hesitant to speak, she smiled, "Second brother, do you have something to say?"

"I don't want to ask too much about the Qi family's affairs, but afterward, Qi Mingyue..."

"Second brother, do you feel sorry for the fragrance?" Duanmu Yu smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, "This matter is not decided by himself, the second brother should go to the Queen Mother to make the decision."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Duanmu Qing's face became even more helpless.

Duanmu Yu knew what Duanmu Qing was thinking, after all, Duanmu Qing had no right to speak in front of Empress Dowager Lu.

As for Qi Mingyue——

"Second brother, think about it. The imperial power and the relationship between men and women, in the end, there is still a difference." Duanmu Yu bent his finger and buckled the table, "Gu is waiting for everything to subside before returning the throne to the second brother." Woolen cloth."

"Sister Yu, if I say I..." Duanmu Qing stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, he looked at Duanmu Yu, and finally gave a wry smile, "It's nothing, I am talking too much. After I discuss this matter with the empress in detail , let’s make another plan.”

After finishing speaking, Duanmuqing glanced at the sky, "It's getting late, I'm going back."

"Second brother, walk slowly."

After Duanmuyu watched Duanmuqing leave, she lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, "Deng Li, tell Zibat to keep an eye on Qi Shaoling. If Qi Mingyue behaves strangely, she should know what to do."

After giving instructions, Duanmu Yu took a far-reaching look out of the window.

Emotions, this kind of thing...

Oh, it's too mysterious after all.

"Go out of the palace alone." It's been a long time since I saw that little girl.

On the other side, Duanmuqing hurried out of the palace, and when he walked around the palace road, he saw a familiar figure from afar.

"King Qinghe finished talking about important matters with the monarch, are you going to leave the palace?" Qi Yao stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Duanmuqing nodded.

"Then I just met King Qinghe today, so I don't need to make another trip." Qi Yao smiled and took out half a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it over, "I heard that King Qinghe got half a jade pendant a few days ago. Yu, now I have been asking someone to find the other half. It is a coincidence that my family happens to be—"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, I lost that half of the jade pendant earlier, and now even if I have this half of the jade pendant, it is still incomplete. So..." Duanmu Qing smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Duanmuqing wanted to leave, but suddenly he remembered something, stopped, looked at Qi Yao and said, "To be honest, this jade pendant has an allusion. The story is not very good, so if the queen doesn't like this jade pendant so much , just don’t keep this jade pendant on your body.”

After finishing speaking, Duanmuqing glanced at the sky again, "I should go back."

Hearing this, Qi Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "King Qinghe is sitting on a beautiful wife now, so he should go back earlier."

Under the scorching sun, Duanmuqing hurriedly walked, Qi Yao secretly squeezed half of the jade pendant in his hand, with a wry smile on his lips, then shook his head and turned back to the palace.

The capital city is not peaceful recently, after Duanmu Yu left the palace last time, he asked Zhang Xiaohua several times, telling Zhang Xiaohua not to run around, it is best to hide in the suburbs for a while.

Zhang Xiaohua was curious about the reason, but she also knew that the situation was complicated, so she didn't ask any further questions.

But that day, old Wutou and Zhang Xiaohua said that the livestock used for King Qinghe's wedding banquet had not yet been settled.Because it was related to King Qinghe, Xiao Wu didn't dare to ask for it, so he had to report it to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it carefully, and decided to take a trip to Qinghe Palace.

As a result, after arriving at Qinghe Prince's Mansion, he was told by his servants that the person in charge of the account had been ill recently and could only come to collect the account in two days.

In this case, Zhang Xiaohua can only come back to ask for money in two days.And at this moment, a man in black happened to pass by. He seemed to have heard their conversation and walked towards them.

When the man approached, Zhang Xiaohua raised her head in astonishment, only to see a gleaming silver mask head-on.

"Lord Lin!" The servant saluted respectfully after seeing the man.

Zhang Xiaohua was just about to do the ceremony like this, but the man was the first to ask, "What happened?"

The servant in the prince's mansion spoke briefly, and the man called Mr. Lin nodded, "I will tell the prince about this, and someone should send the money over in a few days."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded obediently, "Since the message has arrived, I'll go back first, I—"

"You..." That Lord Lin suddenly opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Mr. Lin strangely, waiting for him to speak.

Lord Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The beef and mutton from your farm is good, the prince likes it very much."

Zhang Xiaohua immediately smiled contentedly, "As long as the lord likes it, I will send some desserts I made to the lord's mansion later, and give the princess a taste later, maybe she will like it."

That Lord Lin nodded and said nothing.

Later, when Zhang Xiaohua left, she asked curiously.

The servant of the prince's mansion said that Master Lin had saved King Qinghe and his concubine once, so King Qinghe now thinks highly of Master Lin.Now that her family has been affirmed by Mr. Lin, the prince will definitely continue to buy things from her family in the future.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua was naturally happy.

But on the way back, she thought about it carefully, and she always felt that Master Lin looked familiar.

But in terms of appearance and voice, they couldn't match the people Zhang Xiaohua was familiar with at all.It seems that she has not slept too much recently, and she has hallucinations.

Shaking her head, Zhang Xiaohua was about to rush home, but she saw a carriage parked at the gate of the prince's mansion from a distance.

Taking a closer look, it was actually Qi Mingyue who got off the carriage.

Still gentle and dignified, without losing the posture of a lady, but there is a mature charm between the brows and eyebrows, which makes people can't help but sigh the years.

But it's only half a year since we saw each other, but Zhang Xiaohua feels like a lifetime away.

And thinking of the few encounters in the past, Zhang Xiaohua decided to make some delicious food for Qi Mingyue.After all, Zhang Xiaohua liked the two sisters of the Qi family quite a lot in just a few days.

As a result, Zhang Xiaohua received the news that King Qinghe was detained and all the servants of Qinghe Palace were imprisoned before the people from the Prince's Mansion came to deliver the money.

"Shopkeeper, we haven't got the money back, what can we do?" Old Wu was thinking about the money, "300 taels, can we go to the yamen?"

"I don't care about the money for now." Zhang Xiaohua put down her work and was just about to return to the capital city.

But before she could go out, Dong Haining came with Feng Se.

"Stay here with peace of mind, don't go back." Dong Haining instructed, "It's not peaceful in the city these days, and we will go out of the city to hide for two days."

"Is something wrong?"

"Duanmuqing rebelled." Dong Haining looked solemn.

"Duanmuqing? King Qinghe?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, "How come? There was no rumor at all before!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua thought of Duanmuyu, "Then what happened to her? Is she in danger? She— —”

"Now the queen mother is leading people from the Lu family to force the palace, so..." Dong Haining patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder, "You don't have to be too nervous, everything is in her plan. She is worried about you, so I asked you Come and see you."

"Plan? What plan?" Zhang Xiaohua gripped Dong Haining's sleeves in a panic.

After Dong Haining pondered for a moment, she shook her head, "Wait tomorrow, at noon tomorrow, everything will be clear. Let her come and tell you, I... I can't tell."

Zhang Xiaohua was worried, she wanted to know what happened now.But Dong Haining refused to go into details, and only said that after noon tomorrow, let Duanmuyu talk about these things.

"Then... can she come back safely?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Dong Haining anxiously.

Dong Haining clearly frowned, but forced a smile, then nodded to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua bit her lip, "You lied to me!"

"I didn't lie to you..." Dong Haining was a little embarrassed, she curled her lips and said in a low voice, "Anyway...she told me that she has [-]% chance of being able to do this, so you don't have to worry too much."

"She said [-]% is [-]%!" Zhang Xiaohua burst into tears, "I'm going to the city to find her!"

"Looking for her? How do you find her? Now that the palace gates are closed, it is impossible for you to enter the palace." Dong Haining rarely remained rational, but in fact these words were all given to her by Duanmuyu before, "If you go to the capital city It's dangerous, but it will only make her worry about you! So, just wait here with peace of mind, until noon tomorrow."

She understands the truth, but...

At this time, if she didn't do anything and just sat here and waited, Zhang Xiaohua would really feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, she's an immortal, and her life is about to die." Dong Haining could see that Zhang Xiaohua was uneasy, but in fact, she was not very sure about Duanmu Yu's condition.

But at this time, as a parent, she must not lose her posture, so she forcibly comforted her, "Thinking that she was poisoned by Luoxiang poison, we all thought that she would never survive, but she is still fine until now. Is it?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Dong Haining worriedly, she thought for a while, and finally said, "Tell me about what happened when you were together, otherwise... Otherwise, I am really confused, and I am afraid that I will think wildly."

Now that Zhang Xiaohua said so, Dong Haining saved the matter of finding a way to coax Zhang Xiaohua.

Speaking of those years, Dong Haining was beaming with joy——

"I think back then, your godmother and I were as beautiful as a flower, and my martial arts were world-class..."

Such a beginning is destined to have a lot of moisture in this story.For example, when she was young, the son-in-law who ran after her could line up from the capital city to Jincheng city, and every sentence was about begging for beating.

But fortunately, Feng Se is not here.

Dong Haining has no scruples about bragging. Although Zhang Xiaohua has a heart for Duanmuyu, she has to admit that Dong Haining's narrative style is actually quite attractive.

But because Dong Haining was so engrossed in what he said, when Feng Se, who hadn't seen Dong Haining for a long time, came to find her quietly, Dong Haining didn't notice at all.

So when the moon hung on the willows, Dong Haining's pleading sound came from the farm.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled, then left silently, and climbed to the roof alone.She looked in the direction of the capital city from afar, "I don't know, how is she doing now?"

"Don't worry, they said she'll be fine." Dong Haining, who had just been beaten, held his neck and jumped onto the roof with the jug in hand.

Zhang Xiaohua looked back at Dong Haining, and Dong Haining put the flagon in front of Zhang Xiaohua, "Why don't you take a sip and go to bed quickly."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes fell on the flagon in Dong Haining's hand, "No, I want to wait until noon tomorrow, and wait for her..."

Just as he was talking, the flames flickered suddenly in the direction of the city of Kyoto, showing something unusual.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately stood up nervously, but the roof was uneven, so she stabilized herself after shaking.She quickly pointed to the distance and asked, "Godmother! Look! What's going on!"

Dong Haining took a look and frowned slightly, "It should be that they led the troops into the city."

I just don't know whose soldier it is.

Of course, it was impossible for Dong Haining to say this.

She patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder and said, "You should go to rest quickly, Duanmuyu is a very thieves, don't worry about her."

"Mother..." Zhang Xiaohua suddenly turned her head, "Will she really be fine?"

"Yes, it will."

At that time, in the palace.

Duanmuyu was lying in the Asahi Palace, Deng Li was guarding beside her, and Ziba was quietly

hiding in the dark.

"What time is it? Duanmu Yu yawned, she was a little sleepy.

"It's Xu time." Deng Li nodded, "How about the monarch sleep for a while?"

"I'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight." Duanmu Yu smiled, "I'm still waiting for the theater..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of breaking into the door from outside.

Duanmu Yu curled his mouth and raised his hand, asking Deng Li to open the door.

Deng Li opened the door, only to see Empress Dowager Lv walking in front of Duanmu Yu with a dignified demeanor and a dignified demeanor, dressed in the fine attire she wore when she was canonized as empress dowager.

Duanmu Yu sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, not to mention the posture of a monarch, not even the appearance of a woman.But she didn't mind, she tilted her head and smiled, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"

"Duanmuyu! You want to rebel!" Empress Dowager Lu shouted angrily.

Duanmu Yu suddenly laughed, "Gu is the monarch, why do you say rebellion?"

"You know it well!"

Back then, after Duanmu Yu returned to the palace, it happened that the first emperor was seriously ill and everyone was vying for the throne.At that time, Empress Dowager Lu was worried that the method of eliminating dissidents would be too cruel, which would make Duanmuqing lose popular support.So he withheld the antidote to Duanmu Yu's poison, in order to threaten Duanmu Yu to replace Duanmu Qing on the throne.Then wait until the court is stable before handing over the imperial power.

This is why Duanmuqing was left in Kyoto and received preferential treatment.

"Duanmuyu, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Queen Mother Lu narrowed her eyes. She has fought in this harem for decades, and she has never seen any scenes.

Now that Duanmuqing is being detained, the situation is critical, but she is still able to stay calm in the face of danger, posing as the mother of the country.

Duanmu Yu laughed, "Second brother colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, intending to rebel. Even if Gu killed him, who would dare to say that Gu was not?"

As she said that, she turned around and poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip slowly, "Even if the second elder brother is the son of the empress dowager, but he is now confused, committing such a serious crime, the empress dowager can't favoritism—"

"You are presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Lu stepped forward and lifted the teacup in Duanmu Yu's hand with one palm, "Qing'er didn't intend to rebel at all, it was you who planted it! You are! You deliberately planted it!"

"Everyone in the public knows that Gu has a deep affection for the second brother, so how can he frame it? The Queen Mother's words are probably confused..."

"You... Duanmuyu! I didn't expect the Ai family to treat you like a wolf!" Empress Dowager Lu was furious, "Today you let my mother and child have no peace, so don't blame the Ai family for being really cruel and turning against you! "

"Against me? Are you not afraid of getting a bad name now?" Duanmu Yu sneered, "But speaking of it, what are you using against me? The military power in the hands of the second brother was all handed over a few days ago, you... ..."

"The three generals of the Lu family, the Ai family has asked Lu Boying to send over [-] troops overnight!" Empress Dowager Lu sneered, "The Ai family wants to see how you can get out of here alive!"

"Let me die here?" Duanmu Yu sneered, picked up the teapot casually, and took a sip of tea.There was a little too much tea overflowing from the corner of her mouth, she wiped it wildly, and then laughed loudly, "Even if I will die, with your power, it may be difficult to get out of here alive under my hands!"

"You..." Empress Dowager Lu's expression became very ugly in an instant, and she took a step back.

Duanmu Yu immediately laughed, "Do you think you can live if you take a step back? You underestimate Gu's martial arts too much, don't you?"

Empress Dowager Lu frowned, but then she put on a smiling face and persuaded, "Yu'er, you are unruly by nature, and the throne is a kind of bondage to you. In this case, why don't you hand over the throne and leave?" What about here?"

"Gu just doesn't want you to succeed, can't he?" Duanmu Yu raised the corners of his mouth with a scornful expression.

Empress Dowager Lu's smile froze, "The Ai family raised you up so much, you...you treat the Ai family like this?"

"You know what you have done!" Duanmu Yu lowered her face, and she looked at the Empress Dowager Lu like an arrow, "How many of the dead souls in this harem are thanks to you!

Reciting scriptures and worshiping Buddha is not to expect happiness, but because you are afraid that those dead souls will seek revenge from you! "

"You are presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Lu's feet softened, and she took another step backwards.

Duanmu Yu sneered, "The things you have done are beyond words. From the imperial concubine to the court ladies, they are all waiting for you on Huangquan Road! Of course... there is also that little niece who respects you very much. I will wait for you, and then...heh, I will give you back all the pain you inflicted on them."

"Duanmuyu!" Empress Dowager Lu trembled and shouted, "You...you are really a disobedient master just like your concubine mother! If you wanton nonsense, you will only wait for a dead end!"

"It's good to have you buried with me."

……

Seeing Duanmu Yu's decisiveness, Empress Dowager Lu panicked.

She touched her sleeve, and then took out a porcelain bottle from the sleeve, "Yu'er, this is the antidote, you take it. After you get rid of the poison on your body, then leave here and live the life you love most. Aijia promises , I promise that I will never embarrass you, absolutely—”

Before the Empress Dowager Lu finished speaking, Duan Muyu stepped forward and slapped the porcelain bottle open.

She sneered disdainfully, "Do you really think I will be trapped by your poison?"

"Four years ago, when I was orphaned and sick, I met the Immortal Poison Doctor. She practiced poison on me, and now I am invulnerable to all poisons. You usually see that I am short of energy and blood, but I am just pretending. "Duanmu Yu's tone was steady, quietly admiring the astonishment on Empress Dowager Lu's face.

Duanmu Yu felt comfortable all over.

"Also, you have had people secretly add Soul Eater Powder to Gu's medicine since the Chinese New Year, do you really think Gu knows?" Duanmu Yu smiled proudly, "But it's true, Zibat The makeup skills are amazing, and it is not easy for you to find abnormalities."

Saying that, she put down her legs, put on her shoes, and walked towards Empress Dowager Lu.

Empress Dowager Lu shrank back, but there was no way to retreat.With the support of the maid next to her, she looked at Duanmu Yu in shock.

Duanmu Yu smiled brightly, walked to the window, and glanced outside.

The flames were burning outside, it seemed that members of the Lu family had already entered the palace.

Duanmu Yu turned his back and smiled at Empress Dowager Lu, "Don't be too nervous, Gu was scaring you just now, after all... killing you will dirty my hands. Besides, Gu has suffered a lot to get rid of all poisons. Qin, wouldn't it be too much of a loss if he died right now?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Lu gritted her teeth, but in the end she let out a breath, "Yu'er really likes to mess around, but since you have figured it out, why don't you quickly order Qing'er to be released, and then put Qing'er in the Zen position together?" The decree has come down, too."

"The empress dowager is probably confused. Gu only said that he would not kill you, but he didn't say he would promise you the rest." Duanmu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Now that the Lu family has brought troops into the palace, the rebellion is confirmed. Even if Gu wants to protect him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone in this world to stop... Heh!"

"Today, the Lu family led troops into the palace. They heard that the monarch was assassinated, so they entered the palace to escort him!" The Empress Dowager Lu said calmly, "The monarch has received the favor of the Lu family and found out about King Qinghe's rebellion. I am grateful for King Qinghe's support and companionship for many years. It is reasonable to abdicate the throne specially."

"It seems that the Queen Mother has already considered everything." Duanmu Yu pretended to be surprised, and then smiled, "But I feel that it should be King Qinghe's intention to rebel. Seeing that the matter was revealed, Queen Mother Lu cooperated with the Lu family to mediate The soldiers intend to assassinate...all the rebels have been wiped out, and the Lu family will be executed as usual!"

"You...what are you trying to do!" Empress Dowager Lu finally realized that Duanmu Yu was teasing her.

And at this moment, Lu Boning was wearing armor, and walked steadily into the Asahi Palace.

Duanmu Yu glanced lazily, then smiled, "Ai Qing came very quickly, an hour earlier than Gu expected."

Hearing this, Lu Bo frowned, and then she looked at Empress Dowager Lu, "Sister, everything is ready."

With Lu Boying, Empress Dowager Lu immediately relaxed a lot, she smiled at Duanmu Yu, "Yu'er, you should do the most sensible thing right now."

The best choice is! "

"Me?" Duanmu Yu put down his honorific title and smiled, "But I think General Lu should think about it."

"You are tyrannical and have a perverted personality. Back then, you murdered brothers and sisters cruelly, and did all kinds of evil things. Now it is only natural to abdicate the throne to King Qinghe." Lu Boying is very pedantic. , when he was in the court, he was always serious, but now his face is even more serious, and he speaks sternly.

Duanmu Yu sneered, "Killing brothers and sisters... Heh! It sounds like Gu deserves to be damned. But according to what General Lu said, Gu has a question to ask."

"what?"

"If you deserve death for killing brothers and sisters, shouldn't the person who kills your own niece and daughter also deserve death?" Duanmu Yu smiled and looked at Empress Dowager Lu.

Empress Dowager Lu's eyes flashed panic, she shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Xiang'er has been in the palace for two years, and she is deeply loved by her father. According to your plan, she should secretly poison you and kill your father. But you don't want to, she not only doesn't help you poison and kill your father, but also pregnant You are afraid that your father loves her so much that he will leave the throne to the fetus in her womb, so you secretly bribed the maid beside her and poisoned her to death."

"Don't talk nonsense at this time, trying to provoke the relationship between us sisters!"

"You want to provoke me? Heh..." Duanmu Yu smiled disdainfully, "Even if General Lu insists on being with you, do you think a mere [-] troops can do anything to me?"

Duan Muyu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of determination, "Do you really think that Qi Jinwen was sent back to Beijing just to let him recuperate? In addition, King Shunda brought two thousand soldiers and horses to Beijing this time, just in case, So they dispatched [-] soldiers to garrison the outskirts, and I forgot to tell Lu Aiqing about this matter."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu showed a sly smile at Lu Boying, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked helpless.

Seeing the hesitant look on Lu Boning's face, she licked her teeth and shifted her gaze to the Empress Dowager Lu next to her, "Besides, Gu also guessed that you would rebel, so I transferred my second brother to someone you don't know So Queen Mother, you should think clearly, whether to rebel or to protect the second brother's life, it all depends on your choice!"
