The queen's heart is unpredictable

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Lu's face became very ugly.

But at this moment, the sound of weapons colliding came from outside, Duanmu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled a little horribly, "Qi Jinwen has already led troops into the palace, the Queen Mother should make a decision quickly..."

"You..." Empress Dowager Lu looked back at Lu Boying with some reluctance.

However, Lu Boning frowned, as if lost in deep thought.

Empress Dowager Lu said bitterly, "It's such a time, what are you still worrying about! Could it be that our sisters have been so many years, you don't believe me, but believe in such a wolf-hearted thing!"

"Sister." The emotion in Lu Boying's eyes was not doubt but bewilderment. She stared at the Empress Dowager Lu and said after a long time, "Xiang'er died suddenly. I did have doubts in my heart, but I never doubted you. I just I want to... want to know how this matter is..."

As a general, Lu Boning, not to mention his life as a soldier, is also a person who has seen countless lives and deaths and possesses strong concentration.But now, under the faint moonlight, beside the warm candlelight, her face is full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and her whole person is even more deeply depressed.

She was looking forward to the answer, but she was afraid of the answer,

"At this time, is Xiang'er's death still important?" Empress Dowager Lu said angrily, "Don't forget, we are betting on the entire Lu family this time! If we lose, the Lu family will be gone!"

"I don't care!" Lu Baining shouted, and the majesty of a general was immediately revealed. In her 50s, she has gray temples and old eyes. "I only have one child, Xiang'er. You should remember how much I suffered when I gave birth to her."

"Bo Ning! Why are you so indecisive at this moment! Can a single Xiang'er be more important than the entire Lu family!"

"No!" Lu Baining was furious, "Xiang'er was raised in the palm of my hand since she was a child. When you said that you would let her enter the palace, I would never agree to it! But you promised me back then that you would take good care of her." Xiang'er, and with the original status of the Lu family, if they want to overwhelm the Qi family, they can only send Xiang'er to the palace! Well... everything is as you wish, but Xiang'er died, and it was said that he died of dystocia. I thought to myself that God is not open, it is Xianger's fate, it is my fate..."

"But I just want to hear from you right now, how did Xiang'er die!" Lu Boying suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the Empress Dowager Lu magnificently.

Empress Dowager Lu's expression did not change, and she said forcefully, "The imperial doctor has made a decision on this matter! Do you think that if she was really poisoned to death, the late emperor would let Aijia go!"

Lu Boying sneered, "Okay, you swear, if I, Xiang'er, died at your hands in vain, then... that Duanmuqing will die a terrible death!"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Lu choked suddenly, her face turned ugly.But the matter has developed to this point, and she couldn't help defending and hesitating at all, so she bit her teeth and said firmly, "It's just that Ai's family has complied with your words!" Looking over at Duanmu Yu, "Now, hurry up and take that Duanmu Yu down!"

"It seems that the Empress Dowager would rather disregard the life of the second elder brother to fight against Gu." Duanmu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly.

Empress Dowager Lu's face was ugly, but she still insisted, "After taking you down, the Ai family will have their own way to save Qing'er!"

"In this case..." Duanmu Yu turned his eyes and looked at Lu Boying, "General Lu, are you going to compete with Gu?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Boying jumped up, drew out her sword, and went straight to Duanmu Yu, "Now that the situation is compelling, don't blame me for bullying the younger!"

Duanmu Yu smiled, not intending to dodge.

This made Lu Baining couldn't help frowning.She knew that Duanmu Yu was a master of martial arts, but she, Lu Baining, was a master of martial arts, and her martial arts attainments were among the best in Dazhao.With her strength, even if she couldn't kill Duanmu Yu, it would be easy to hurt her by three points.

This Duanmu Yu, I'm afraid he underestimated the enemy too much!

Lu Boying thought so, and channeled all his strength into the sword in his hand.

But when the tip of the sword was about to touch the tip of Duanmu Yu's nose, a strong whip

It fell from the sky and directly wrapped around Lu Boying's sword.

Lu Boying was slightly surprised, looked up, and saw a woman in strong clothes standing on the beam, looking at everyone coldly.

"General Lu is very skilled, so let's play with Zibat and Deng Li first. Gu...have a sip of tea first and rest for a while." Duanmuyu doesn't like to make trouble, and after speaking, he sat on the chair alone. He got out of the Arhat bed, took a brand new cup, and drank tea.

At the same time, Deng Li and Zibat attacked Lu Boning without saying a word.

Lu Boying was terrified, and took two steps back to the courtyard, then she regained her composure and continued with luck.

Holding the tea, Duanmu Yu said softly, "You fight hard, just don't hurt the flowers and plants in the lonely courtyard, otherwise the lonely will be sad..."

Empress Dowager Lu stared at Duanmu Yu, then looked at Lu Boying who was fighting with Deng Li and Ziba outside.She gritted her teeth, squeezed her sleeves secretly, and then walked towards Duanmu Yu.

"Is there anything else the Queen Mother can say?" Duanmu Yu raised his eyes without any precautions.

Empress Dowager Lu suddenly lowered her stance, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, we will only lose if we make trouble like this, how about...you and I discuss it, okay?"

"The Empress Dowager speaks when she has something to say, and Gu listens."

"As long as you give up the throne to your second brother, the Ai family will agree to any conditions!"

Duanmuyu lowered her eyes, pretending to be thinking, then she bent the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Then let the Lu family be buried with Xiang'er, are you willing?"

Empress Dowager Lu choked. After confirming that Duanmu Yu was not joking, she immediately yelled, "You! You are crazy! You are completely crazy!"

After that, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at Duanmu Yu.

Duanmuyu raised her leg calmly, and then kicked Empress Dowager Lu's wrist impartially with her toe.

Empress Dowager Lu staggered, watching helplessly as the dagger fell out of her hand and fell to the ground, making a particularly crisp sound.And she knelt on the ground all of a sudden because of her unstable center of gravity.

"You're such an old bone, there's no need to do everything yourself." Duanmu Yu bent over and smiled at the Empress Dowager Lu, "Wait until General Lu finishes fighting, and stabbing Gu while in chaos may succeed. Maybe a little older. Queen Mother, you are still too impatient..."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Lu looked up at Duanmu Yu.

Only at this time did she realize that the little girl she had raised for so many years had grown up. She had grown from a wild girl who only knew how to behave mischievously to a calm and even cunning person.

Now, she regrets that she made the decision to hand over the throne because she was afraid that Duanmuqing would not win the hearts of the people...

At that time, she thought that holding the antidote would be safe, but who would have thought that this girl is a lunatic!

"Why?" Empress Dowager Lu was puzzled, "You have been wild since you were young, and you don't like to be restrained at all. Now, why do you want to restrain yourself in this imperial power?"

"Because Xiang'er wrote a sentence in the letter she left me." Duanmu Yu said calmly, "She said that only those who sit in the highest position have the right to choose. And more importantly..." Duanmu Yu extended With a shot, she grabbed Empress Dowager Lu's cheek, and she said with a smile like a flower, "I just don't want to make you happy!"

While talking, the three people fighting outside had already decided who was superior. Although the martial arts of Zi Bat and Deng Li were not low, Lu Boying was a brave general after all. For a long time, Zibat and Deng Li were at a disadvantage.

The purple bat uses a whip, which consumes a lot of energy, and now it can't keep up with Lu Boying's rhythm.

Lost for a moment, Lu Boying's sword pointed straight at Ziba's face.

The purple bat was terrified, and retreated a few steps, but there was a flower bed behind him, and there was no way to retreat, and Duanmu Yu had just said not to hurt the flowers.

The purple bat gritted its teeth, and when it was about to resist the sword, a white shadow flitted across the night like a silver-white sword.

Two slender, but distinct joints

His fingers easily caught Lu Boying's sharp sword.

Lu Boying was shocked, but before she could react, the long sword broke like paper at Duanmu Yu's fingertips.

"Okay." Duan Muyu withdrew his hand, and said to Lu Boying lightly, "She has surrendered her weapons and surrendered, so there is no need for General Lu to work hard here anymore. Gu will be angry if he hurts Gu."

Lu Boying turned her head and looked into the room in disbelief.

But she couldn't see anything, and at this moment, she only felt a strong force in her body, and she wanted to vent it, but she was unwilling to stop there.

Even though she only has a broken sword in her hand, she still has the heart to fight to the death.

So after withdrawing his gaze, Lu Boying turned his wrist without hesitation, and slashed the broken sword towards Duanmu Yu.

Duanmuyu seemed to have expected that Lu Boying would not just surrender, so the moment Lu Boying turned her wrist, she slapped Ziba on the shoulder.

While pushing the purple bat away, Duanmu Yu tapped his toes and moved backward with luck.After dodging the blade of the broken sword, Duanmu Yu sighed, "General Lu, why bother? You should know that even if you can't beat Gu with all your strength, now that you are too physically exhausted, you won't be Gu opponent."

"Don't worry about it! Even if I die, I won't give in!" She was so determined that she gave everything she had.

She cannot submit, and she will never allow herself to submit!

Otherwise, wouldn't everything she had paid for these years become a joke!

Not to mention anything else, just saying that Xiang'er's life is here, she must not be a person who just gives in!

Lu Boxing looked at Duanmuyu firmly, Duanmuyu smiled and understood.

She jumped up and picked up the broken sword on the ground, and after two rounds of dealing with Lu Boying, she turned sideways, saw the timing, and luckily plunged the half of the broken sword into Lu Boying's body.

Lu Boying suddenly lost strength, bent her legs, and fell to her knees on the ground, only supporting her body with the broken sword.Suddenly, a stream of blood gushed out of her mouth.

Duanmu Yu watched, sighed and stepped forward.

Under the moonlight, Lu Boying's eyes looked particularly unyielding.She raised her head and looked at Duanmu Yu, she didn't beg, she didn't scold, instead she smiled, as if she was very relaxed.

Duanmuyu's throat rolled, and she smiled slightly, "If you see Xiang'er, please say sorry to her..." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and patted Lu Boying on the shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, General Lu, I will meet you again." Let the entire Lu family be buried with you, so you won't be so lonely along the way."

After the words fell, Lu Boying closed her eyes, her whole body fell forward, and fell directly to the ground.

Deng Li stepped forward, breathed out, and said, "He's dead."

Duanmu Yu nodded, "Let me give you a good burial."

Deng Li nodded in understanding, and retreated silently.

Duanmu Yu looked back at the purple bat, "Are you hurt?"

"No problem." Purple Bat nodded, answering simply and simply.

"Take someone to take the queen mother to the cold palace, let people watch carefully, and send someone to bring King Qinghe back to the palace. I have something to say to him."

After giving instructions, Duanmu Yu turned his head and glanced at the moon in the sky.

Everything has been settled.

"Duanmu Yu! Don't forget what you promised Aijia just now!" When Empress Dowager Lu was taken away by the purple bat, she still did not forget to yell loudly, "If you go back on your word, you will definitely die!"

"Don't worry, I never lie to anyone." Duanmu Yu smiled lightly.

She is well aware of Duanmuqing's habits.He's not bad, or he doesn't want to be that bad.

To say that he is cowardly is not enough, it's just that the more sentimental a person is, the less he can be assertive.He didn't want to disobey the Empress Dowager Lu, so he pushed himself into this endless abyss.

For so many years, Duanmuqing's evil deeds have been obvious, but most of them were ordered by the Empress Dowager Lu, not Duanmuqing's original intention.

Coupled with the brother-sister relationship between her and Duanmu Yu, it is really a trivial matter to promise Queen Mother Lu to keep him alive.

It's late at night, and it's all over.

After working for a long time, when Deng Li entered the room to report, he saw Duanmuyu lying on the Arhat bed with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

He hesitated for a moment, and was about to retreat.

As a result, Duanmu Yu opened his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is the matter over?"

"Yes, the decree has been handed down." Deng Li stopped and said respectfully, "Besides, the emperor is here, waiting outside."

"Why is he here? He doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, is it fun to come here?" Duanmu Yu lazily closed his eyes, and replied decisively, "No see!"

"The Queen, he...he..." Deng Li hesitated, "The Queen knelt in front of the palace gate, and said that she would kneel until the King was willing to see him."

"Heh." Duanmu Yu sneered, "Does the Qi family know that he is so spineless?"

As he said that, Duanmu Yu got up from the Arhat bed, "Okay, okay, you go and call him in, if you have something to say, finish it quickly, I'm lonely."

"Yes." Deng Li walked out respectfully.

Not long after, Qi Yao entered the room with a tired face.

"The queen is worried about Gu's safety and can't sleep at night, or is she worried about others?" Duanmu Yu closed his eyes and asked indifferently.

"The humble minister is naturally worried about the safety of the monarch—"

Duanmu Yu opened his eyes, "But you are lonely, but you insist on coming to see Gu regardless of Gu's body. Gu really doubts your original intention."

What he said, Qi Yao was at a loss for words for a while, feeling a little embarrassed.

Looking at his speechless look, Duanmu Yu felt very comfortable in his heart, so he chuckled lightly, "Tell me, what is the purpose of coming to see Gu?"

"I heard that the monarch has put King Qinghe and Empress Dowager Lu under house arrest, I think—"

"Want to intercede with them?" Duanmu Yu lifted his lips, spit out the tea powder that he drank in his mouth, and then sneered, "The Queen is really busy this night, first I have to worry about Gu's safety, and then To help those traitors intercede. The Queen is so kind, it really makes Gu feel gratified..."

Duan Muyu's words were half true and half false, and Qi Yao's face turned red and white when he heard it.

But at this moment, he couldn't help being reserved here, so Qi Yao thought about it and said bluntly, "The behavior of King Qinghe and Queen Mother Lu is certainly abhorrent, but they are the prince and queen mother after all. I hope the monarch can think about it." After repeated attempts, make a decision."

"Are you teaching Gu what to do?"

"I don't dare." Qi Yao bowed his head as a salute, "I just feel that this matter is complicated, so I want to share some worries with the monarch and express some opinions. I feel that King Qinghe and Empress Dowager Lu have made many achievements over the years. If The sentence is too severe, and I'm afraid it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court." As he said, Qi Yao raised his head and glanced at Duanmu Yu.

With an inexplicable smile on his face, Duanmu Yu nodded at Qi Yao, "Go ahead."

"I feel that now that they have committed such evil deeds, they only need to be punished. It is a very good choice to expel them to the frontier fiefdom."

"Qi Yao." Duanmu Yu suddenly called him.

Qi Yao raised his head and looked at Duanmu Yu with some anxiety.

Duanmu Yu curled his lips and asked, "Do your parents know that you are begging for them both?"

"..." Qi Yao bit his lip, "This matter is the opinion of this minister alone, and has nothing to do with others."

"Oh, that's true." Duanmu Yu yawned with a smile, "If your father knew that you did this, he would probably break your legs. But don't worry, I don't intend to kill them, so hurry up Go back to the palace, don't bother Gu." Duanmu Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled a little coldly, she asked softly, "Is that okay?"

Qi Yao was shocked, and immediately cupped his hands in salute, "Since the monarch is exhausted, the humble minister will take his leave first."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yao didn't dare to stay at all, and immediately withdrew from Asahi

palace.

Duanmu Yu glanced outside, couldn't help but sneered and shook his head.

This person, passion and ruthlessness are only a matter of thought.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Yu suddenly thought of Zhang Xiaohua outside the palace.

She glanced at the sky outside, and without thinking about it, she got up from the Arhat bed.

"The two of you can deal with the rest of the matter. I just need to rest for a while." Duanmu Yu said, using lightness kung fu, crossed from one roof to another, and headed out of the palace.

That end, inside the farm.

Looking at the white belly in the sky, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help yawning.

After coming to ancient times, she lived a regular life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. This is the first time she has stayed up all night.

But if you're really a teenager, staying up all night doesn't seem to be particularly uncomfortable.Unlike when I was in my twenties, staying up late and working overtime was enough to kill half my life.

As for Dong Haining, when the fire in the direction of the harem was extinguished, he fell asleep because he drank all the wine, and he still hasn't woken up until now.

Dong Haining said that when the fire went out, it meant the matter was over.

It must be a good thing that things ended so early.

But Zhang Xiaohua was worried, so she kept waiting.

And at this moment, she looked at the grove far away from the farm, and it seemed that someone was coming on horseback.

She quickly stood up and took a closer look——

It's Duanmu Yu!

After seeing the white dress, Zhang Xiaohua's high-hanging heart finally fell.She jumped off the roof without even thinking about it. Thanks to her many days of practice, her body is now so light that jumping from such a high ground is not a problem at all.

After standing still, Zhang Xiaohua immediately ran towards Duanmuyu.

The moment Duanmu Yu saw Zhang Xiaohua, he immediately stopped his horse.

"You're here!" Zhang Xiaohua raised her head, she had a thousand words to say in her heart, but now she can only say three simple words.

Duanmuyu smiled and stretched out a hand, and Zhang Xiaohua put his hand into her warm palm.

Duanmuyu withdrew his hand forcefully, and dragged Zhang Xiaohua onto the horse's back.

She circled Zhang Xiaohua, then rested her chin on Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder, sniffed her scent, and asked with a smile, "Why did you wake up so early? I still want to go to your room to scare you .”

"I heard that something happened to you in the palace, how can I sleep?" Zhang Xiaohua leaned against Duanmu Yu, feeling her temperature and presence, she exhaled heavily.

She was safe, really safe.

A night of waiting finally brought a good result.

After hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Duanmuyu couldn't help but tilt his head, bit Zhang Xiaohua's earlobe and said, "What could happen to me? Didn't that old Dong Haining tell you?"

"She only said that the Empress Dowager Lu brought people into the palace, and she refused to say anything else." Zhang Xiaohua said aggrievedly, "I begged her for a long time, but she said she couldn't explain clearly, let me wait for you to come and ask you Woolen cloth……"

"That's right." Duanmu Yu chuckled, "That old bastard has no brains, it's true that he can't explain clearly."

After laughing at Dong Haining, Duanmu Yu yawned, "But now I haven't slept all night, and I can't talk anymore, what should I do?"

"Then go to bed quickly." Zhang Xiaohua felt at ease now, and drowsiness rushed up.Driven by Duanmu Yu's yawn, she couldn't help but yawned too.

After hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Duanmu Yu couldn't help tightening her arms.

When they arrived at the farm, Zhang Xiaohua wanted to call Dong Haining up and tell her to go back to sleep.But just as she opened her legs, Duanmu Yu dragged her over.

Zhang Xiaohua said "Oh".

Duanmuyu couldn't wait to drag Zhang Xiaohua to the nearby residence, she said in a hoarse voice, "That old thing is just right for you to sleep on the roof.

Leave her alone. "

After finishing speaking, after entering the room, Duanmuyu threw Zhang Xiaohua onto the bed without hesitation, then she relaxed all of a sudden, and lay down on the bed with Zhang Xiaohua.

"Did you get hurt last night?" Zhang Xiaohua touched Duanmu Yu's body worriedly.

Duanmu Yu smiled and shook his head, "How could I be so easily injured?"

"Nonsense, didn't you get injured the last time you were in the hunting ground?" Zhang Xiaohua was worried about Duanmu Yu, and she didn't feel relieved until she felt her whole body up and down and found no scars.

Duanmu Yu lay there, with the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a slight smile, "Last time, it was because the chain you gave me fell on the ground, and I bent down to pick it up, so I was plotted against. Usually, those people stand If you stand in front of me together, it is impossible to hurt me in the slightest."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt distressed, "It's just a chain, if you lose it, you lose it, and I'll just make it for you later, why bother to lose your body?"

"That's different." Duanmu Yu hugged Zhang Xiaohua tightly, and said softly, "It's something you gave me, and I can't lose it. Even with you and everything related to you, I can't lose it .”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hearing Duanmu Yu's words, Zhang Xiaohua's heart warmed.But he couldn't help but blushed and hammered Duanmu Yudao, "I just want you to be safe and sound, nothing else is important, you know? If you get hurt because of these unimportant things again in the future, I will be angry, and even more so." Sad!"

"Okay, okay." Duanmu Yu leaned against Zhang Xiaohua, breathing steadily, but his voice gradually became weaker, "I will listen to you from now on, and I will listen to...your..."

The nerves that had been tensed all night finally relaxed when he hugged Zhang Xiaohua.When drowsiness struck, she closed her eyes safely and fell asleep without warning.

Hearing Duanmu Yu's steady breathing, Zhang Xiaohua turned her head, smiled, and planted a kiss on Duanmu Yu's forehead.

"Never get hurt in the future, you know?"

"Hmm..." Duanmu Yu responded unconsciously.
