The queen's heart is unpredictable

Chapter 71

Zhang Xiaohua was instinctively unwilling to believe this matter, but the facts were in front of her, and she really didn't know, apart from the theory of ghosts, how to explain why Qi Mingyue knew this matter.

And when Zhang Xiaohua was trying to sort out her thoughts, Qi Mingyue said softly beside her, "Concubine Jun, do you think I should tell the monarch these words?"

Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses, a little at a loss, "What does the princess say?"

"This matter is very strange. If I really tell the monarch these words, I wonder if the monarch will blame me..."

"No, it's just a word."

But in fact, after Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she thought again, Duanmu Yu is moody, who knows how she will react when she hears these words?

Furthermore, Zhang Xiaohua really couldn't make an accurate guess when it came to Lu Xiang'er.

And at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the yard outside.

Zhang Xiaohua turned his head to look, and it turned out that Duanmu Nian had left school.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile when she saw the weekend.

Duanmu Nian looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said innocently, "Today I can recite the book quickly, so the master asked me to come back early."

As he spoke, Duanmu Nian's gaze slowly moved to Qi Mingyue.

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "This is Princess Qinghe, you have seen it before."

Duanmu Nian nodded, "I've seen her before, but she seemed to be thinner than now, so I didn't recognize her for a while."

After speaking, Duanmu Nian respectfully bowed to Qi Mingyue.

"I have seen the princess."

Hearing Duanmu Nian's words, Qi Mingyue frowned immediately, smiled very softly, stretched out her hand to hold Duanmu Nian's forehead and wrist, and said, "Good boy, don't be too polite."

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, so after seeing Duanmian, Qi Mingyue felt kind in her heart, and she couldn't help but stare at Duanmian twice more.

And Zhang Xiaohua next to him showed a relieved smile after seeing Duanmu Nian being so polite.

Just at this moment, she saw the smile on Qi Mingyue's face, and knew that she liked Duanmu Nian, so she said to Duanmu Nian, "The princess is pregnant now, and in a few months, you will be an older brother."

Hearing this, Duanmu Nian felt strange, so he took a second look at Qi Mingyue's stomach.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua felt that Duanmu Nian was interested in the child, Duanmu Nian raised his eyebrows and suddenly said with a vigilant expression, "Since she is pregnant, why doesn't the princess take good care of her baby? ?”

……

Zhang Xiaohua never expected that Duanmu Nian would speak like this, so she was stunned for a long time before realizing it, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Nian, you can't be unreasonable!"

When Zhang Xiaohua grabbed Duanmu Nian's wrist and wanted Duanmu Nian to apologize to Qi Mingyue, Qi Mingyue smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a child, don't worry about it."

Speaking of which, Qi Mingyue turned her head and glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, as for... As for what I said to Concubine Jun today, I haven't figured out how to speak, so—"

"Don't worry, I won't spread this matter." Zhang Xiaohua knew that Qi Mingyue was concerned, so she hurriedly said, "But if you want my help, just let someone pass it on.

"

After a few simple instructions, Zhang Xiaohua ordered Qi Mingyue to be sent back.

After everyone in the room went out, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Nian at the side.

Seeing Duanmu Nian's face as if nothing happened, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help frowning, but children have rebellious periods, so Zhang Xiaohua's tone was not too harsh.

She only asked gently, "You don't like the princess?"

"No." Duanmu Nian replied very simply, and there was no sign of lying in his tone and attitude.

Zhang Xiaohua was even more confused, "Then why did you say such exaggerated words just now?"

Those words are clearly trying to catch up with Qi Mingyue...

But after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Duanmu Nian couldn't help frowning and shaking his head.

In this way, it seems to say that Zhang Xiaohua is ignorant.

???

This brat is becoming more and more like Duanmu Yu!

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was complaining, she just listened to Duan Wu and said, "The harem is complicated, and you have a special status. If you can have less contact with these people, you should have less contact with them. Besides, I heard people say that it was the Queen Mother who killed King Qinghe." , if this princess has the heart to hold grudges and waits for an opportunity to retaliate, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Seeing what Duanmu Nian said was logical, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Is what I said wrong?" Duanmu Nianben was still full of confidence, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua smiling so cheerfully, he felt a little guilty and his little face turned red.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't stop laughing, she shook her head and said, "What you said makes sense, it's just..."

"Just what?" Duanmian asked nervously.

"It's just that even with these conjectures, it shouldn't be so rude."

Hearing this, Duanmu Nian sneered, "You are a woman's kindness!"

"If she really wants to harm me, and you treat her so unreasonably today, won't it arouse resentment in her heart?"

"But the empress said, as long as I'm strong enough, I don't care what other people think..."

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense!" Zhang Xiaohua's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "No matter how strong one person is, he can't defeat all the people. If you want to govern the country, you must use benevolence, you know?"

Before Zhang Xiaohua was worried whether Duanmu Nian would become as lonely and cold as Duanmu Yu, but now she felt that Duanmu Nian was becoming more and more like this...

Just as he was talking, a slightly lazy laugh suddenly came from outside the yard.

Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and saw Duanmu Yu standing outside.

If it was before, Zhang Xiaohua would definitely shrink her neck and feel guilty.But today is different, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu, said with a straight face, "I told you a long time ago, don't say those inappropriate things to Xiao Nian, you won't listen."

"I just came, so how could I offend you?" Duanmu Yu looked at Zhang Xiaohua innocently.

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything immediately.

And Duanmuyu also knew that Zhang Xiaohua was thinking about Duanmu Nian, so she looked at Duanmu Nian seriously and said, "I will listen to her from now on, don't listen to me, you know?"

"En." Duanmu nodded, not vague at all.

These two people made Zhang Xiaohua feel a little embarrassed.

"Are you two singing together, are you trying to laugh at me?" Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu took off the belt on his body, and said fondly, "How dare we laugh at you for nothing?"

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu quickly changed the subject, turned his head and said to Duanmu, "By the way, you brat, why did you come back so early?"

Duanmu Nian explained his performance at the Master's place in a very good manner today. Seeing the two people coming and going, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to turn around and leave, to tell the two Ancestors prepare pastries.

As soon as Duanmu Yu and Duanmu Nian saw Zhang Xiaohua leaving, they both stopped tacitly, and silently looked back at the direction Zhang Xiaohua left.

After confirming that Zhang Xiaohua had gone far away, Duanmu Yu looked at Duanmu Nian again, and said with some distaste, "I told you earlier, don't say these things in front of her, don't you brat have a long memory? It’s just that you can’t find it on your own, so what do you want me to do?”

Hearing Duanmu Yu's words, Duanmu Nian showed an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Your Excellency scolded me today, I was in a hurry, so I—"

"You just don't have a long memory!" After Duanmuyu changed into a light coat, she sat at the table and poured a cup of tea leisurely, "If you don't remember later, you will be fined to copy my words carefully a hundred times. time, do you understand?"

Facing Duanmu Yu's threat, Duanmu Nian nodded obediently.

"By the way." Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua hadn't come back, Duanmu Yu boredly looked at Duanmu Nian, "Why did you make her angry today?"

"I..." Duanmu Nian licked his lips, and then said what happened just now.

After Duanmuyu heard this, she frowned and said nothing for a long time.

Duanmu Nian thought that Duanmu Yu was angry, and was just about to do a self-criticism, but Duanmu Yu said with certainty, "You did the right thing!"

……

Duanmu Nian was stunned, "But my lord said—"

"She has a pure heart and always feels that everyone is as innocent and kind as she is, but she doesn't know that in this harem, the more vicious and cruel people are, the more they like to put on a harmless appearance." Duanmu Yu's eyes were deep, she pulled Duanmu Nian, and asked very solemnly, "From now on, if I'm not by your side, you have to protect her well, you know?"

Seeing Duanmu Yu's solemn expression, Duanmu Nian suddenly felt a strong sense of responsibility.

"Yeah!" He nodded seriously, "I will protect her, and I will also protect the empress!"

It was a warm scene, but ended with Duanmu Yu's disdainful cold snort.

She said, "As far as your three-legged cat kung fu is concerned, let's protect yourself first..."

While talking, Zhang Xiaohua came back with two plates of pastries.

Seeing that Duanmu Yu and Duanmu Nian were still chatting, she couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm urging him to practice martial arts quickly." Holding the cup, Duanmu Yu raised his foot and kicked Duanmu Nian's ass.

After Duanmu Nian nimbly dodged for a while, he quickly ran away clutching his buttocks.

In the room, only Duanmu Yu and Zhang Xiaohua were left.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't notice anything strange, she handed the pastry in front of Duanmu Yu.

As a result, Duanmu Yu didn't take the cake, but grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's hand.

Zhang Xiaohua looked up at Duanmu Yu in astonishment, but before she could speak, Duanmu Yu said, "Qi Mingyue came to see you again?"

"En." Zhang Xiaohua nodded, knowing that it was Duanmu Nian who told Duanmu Yu about this.

Duanmu Yu frowned, "What did she ask you for?"

"Nothing." Zhang Xiaohua perfunctory casually.

Duanmu Yu's frown deepened, "You know, you are not good at lying."

……

Really annoying!

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but pursed her lips, "But I promise she won't tell what happened today, so..."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu eagerly, telling her not to embarrass herself.

Duanmuyu naturally wouldn't embarrass Zhang Xiaohua. After thinking about it, she lowered her eyes and sighed, "Qi Mingyue has been a little strange recently. You should be careful, after all, she is..."

"I understand." Zhang Xiaohua knew that Duanmu Yu was worried about herself, so she nodded obediently, "Turning back, I just want to have less contact with her."

Although Zhang Xiaohua felt guilty towards Qi Mingyue, Qi Mingyue said some miraculous things to her one after another, which made Zhang Xiaohua feel uneasy and really uncomfortable.

In particular, these things are... still related to Lu Xiang'er.

Thinking of Lu Xiang'er, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't control the expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Duanmu Yu, who saw Zhang Xiaohua's expression in his eyes, asked while drinking tea.

Zhang Xiaohua licked her lips, wanting to find an excuse, but when she thought that she was lying, Duanmu Yu would easily see through it.Instead of trying to cover it up, it would be better——

"Do you believe in ghosts in this world?"

Zhang Xiaohua asked sincerity, and it was this sincerity that made Duanmuyu feel a little dumbfounded.

"Do you believe it?" Duanmu Yu tried his best not to laugh too wildly.

But Zhang Xiaohua already felt Duanmuyu's ridicule...

"I asked you first!" Zhang Xiaohua said unconvinced.

"Then if you believe me, I will believe it. If you don't believe it, I won't believe it either." Duanmu Yu gave the answer calmly.

But Zhang Xiaohua didn't buy it at all, "You are just perfunctory me!"

"How can this be perfunctory?" Duanmu Yu said seriously, "Ghosts and gods are illusory, but you are right in front of my eyes. If you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, I will accompany you by my side. If there is any crime, I will meet you Gods kill gods, ghosts kill ghosts, I will never let you be alone. But if you don't believe me, I don't need to do anything, just be with you."

……

Originally, he just wanted to discuss whether there are ghosts in this world, but who would have thought that Duanmu Yu would say such a thing.What Zhang Xiaohua said made her heart surge, she was so moved that she almost shed tears.

"You are really..." Duanmu Yu is ruthless, but sometimes his mouth is especially eloquent.

This person is really annoying!

Zhang Xiaohua puffed her cheeks, her eyes were reddish, and she couldn't say anything.

Duanmu Yu looked at her, finally sighed, then walked to her side, hugging her in his arms, "Don't worry, if there is a ghost to hurt you, I will slaughter the hell for you! "

"But what if that ghost is Lu Xiang'er?"

The next moment, Zhang Xiaohua clearly felt Duanmu Yu's body stiffen.

She knew that her question was a bit embarrassing, but...but now Lu Xianger is like a stone in her heart, she is very uncomfortable, she——

"No matter who wants to hurt you, I will not let it go!" Duanmu Yu gave the answer with great certainty.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a heat in her eyes...
