Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 426 Deterrence
Dugu didn't ask for it to be dark before returning home, and when he entered, he bolted the door.

Du Qingtan was originally lying on the couch "recovering from illness" and studying, when he saw him walking in a hurry with an extremely ugly expression on his face, he knew something serious had happened.

She quickly helped him to sit down, handed him a cup of hot water first, then held his hand tightly, and sat down next to him.

Dugu drank all the hot water in one go, then looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's thank Yue Liniang a lot."

Du Qingtan was still calm: "What happened?"

Dugu didn't ask for a single word, and his voice couldn't be lower: "The sage ordered to kill King Zhao and Princess Chenliu and his wife."

Zhang Liulang's complaint said that these three people often got together to discuss the two brothers, saying that they should not enter and leave the palace at will, and should not control the government.

The queen was furious, and without hesitation ordered the lives of these three people, regardless of whether two of them were her own grandchildren and one was her own grandnephew.

Thinking of Princess Chenliu's pregnancy, one dead body and two dead, and such a tragic way of killing with a stick, it's hard for Dugu to describe his inner feelings without seeking truth.

He already knew that the Queen was ruthless, but he had never been as shocked as this time.

"I was an official in the East Palace earlier. Princess Chenliu was not yet married, so she often hid outside the window and peeped at me. Every time the crown prince found out and scolded her, she ran away laughing..."

Dugu didn't ask to wipe his face, and looked up at Du Qingtan: "I'm not showing off to you...I'm just..."

He just felt that he knew that Princess Chenliu and his wife and King Zhao would be killed sooner or later, but he didn't give any hint, and now he just felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

Du Qingtan stretched out his arms to hug him, and said in a low voice, "You and I both know that we can't save them."

How did they learn about other people's secret remarks in private?How to persuade?

I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, I'm not human inside and out, and if I don't save anyone, I will ruin my life first.

And this matter, in the final analysis, is not just the three people privately discussing the Zhang brothers, but the deeper level is because the empress is unwilling to abdicate, and the power struggle between mother and son is just.

Otherwise, it is not that there are tough ministers who scolded in public and did not give the Zhang brothers face, and the queen did not do anything to them.

Not long ago, the Zen position suggested that no matter how magnanimous the queen was at that time, she would be as ruthless as her methods at this time.

King Zhao is the son of the crown princess, he was born in the direct line, and he was promoted to be the grandson of the emperor when he was young, his status is far beyond the comparison of ordinary emperors and grandchildren.

He was bestowed with death, one can imagine how much blow and deterrence it would bring to the East Palace.

If Li Dai's line is added in the middle, it will be even more complicated.

After Dugu Buqiu felt sorry for the prince, he couldn't help but feel withdrawn: "Where are we going?"

Du Qingtan had long thought of a way out: "I received a letter from Pingniang a few days ago, saying that she and Wu Sima are having a good time in Zhangzhou, otherwise, let's go to Lingnan as well."

Dugu Buqiu frowned: "I'm going to take up an important position in Lingnan. I'm not high enough, otherwise I'll just be demoted. Are you sure you want to?"

Du Qingtan said: "I'm currently a sixth-grade pharmacist. If I want to become a medical doctor with no grade, it must be reprimanded."

The couple faced each other with sad faces, their feet pressed against each other, thinking hard about how to be reprimanded to go to Lingnan without hurting their bones.

It wasn't until Hongye came to ask them to eat that Dugu Buqiu pulled her up.

"This is really true. In the early years, I tried everything I could to make a fortune as an official, but now I just want to be reprimanded. What's the point! I knew this..."

Du Qingtan deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and interrupted him: "If I had known this, you wouldn't have worked so hard back then, would you?"

Dugu Buqiu thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I still don't regret it. If it wasn't for this, how could I have married you."

"That's not necessarily true." Du Qingtan said solemnly: "You should know that I married you not because you became an official."

Dugu Buqiu thought for a while, held her hand and smiled.

Du Qingtan said again: "Besides marrying me, it is very meaningful for you to be an official. For example, collecting evidence of incrimination, such as redressing unjust prisons, and hearing cases, allowing the wicked to be punished. I think it is very good."

Dugu felt a little happy if he didn't ask for it: "According to what you said, I'm not wasting my time and doing white jobs?"

"How come? You are this in my eyes." Du Qingtan gave him a thumbs up.

"But you still refuse to have a child for me." Dugu Buqiu sat down and muttered this sentence sadly.

"I'm not considerate enough for you?" Du Qingtan glanced at him, poured him a glass of wine, and poured another glass for himself. After all, such a terrible thing happened, and the couple needed to suppress their shock.

"You don't want to have a child for me." Dugu Buqiu continued to mutter, "I don't understand, why? Why?"

Du Qingtan knocked on the table and said impatiently: "I agree."

Dugu Buqiu never expected it: "Why? Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

Du Qingtan squinted at him: "Because I can't take sick leave for a long time, isn't this your idea?"

Only when she is pregnant and then suffers from various discomforts can she create an opportunity to slowly stay away from the palace.

Apart from seeking happiness, Dugu was also a little worried about the Queen's attitude: "I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to provoke her and make her angry."

Du Qingtan is also not sure: "The reason why I have never had a child is also because of this concern, just like when she allowed me to live in the palace, I dare not move out. But we have been married for several years, we should think about it. I won't care too much."

The husband and wife held the wine, head to head, conspiring for a long time, and finally decided to give it a try.

After all, in this storm, life is an adventure.

The next day, Du Qingtan continued to take his sick leave, so he got up and arranged for dinner, thinking that Dugu would not ask for help.

As soon as a fish was put into the pan and fried, Luo Ye announced outside: "Mr. Yuan Lang is here."

Du Qingtan hurriedly asked the cook to take over, quickly tidied up his clothes, and went out to entertain guests.

Yuan He was wearing a plain robe, with his hands behind his back, standing under the withered grape trellis in a daze.

"Brother Yuan is here." Du Qingtan invited him to sit in the room: "Liu Lang will be back soon, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Yuan He looked back at her and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

Since the old grandpa passed away, he kept the rules for his deceased father. Except for Ding You's resignation, he is only willing to be a vegetarian every day. People who were not fat before, now look thinner.

Du Qingtan seized the opportunity to persuade him: "You've lost weight again, if the old man knows that you are suffering so much..."

Most people in this era don't live long, and they don't eat well on a daily basis. She really fears that Yuan He won't live long if she continues to make such a fuss.

In other words, she and Dugu Buqiu also bear the heavy responsibility of being his matchmaker, so this person must not die early.

Yuan He used to listen to her persuasion, just smiled and said nothing, but today he interrupted her: "Okay."
