The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Dongyao Kingdom, Imperial City.

The palace is made of gold and copper, with purple pillars and golden beams. The walls are decorated with heart-shaped paintings and glazed tiles.

The palace maid in a blue palace skirt was waiting at the door. When she saw the red figure, she immediately stepped forward.

The palace maid smiled brightly, was slightly blessed, and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you in the Jingxin Hall for a long time."

In the Jingxin Hall, curls of green smoke floated out from the gilded Suanni Boshan furnace, lingering and circling in the mid-air.

When Zhu Lifeng walked in, a soothing scent of sandalwood hit his nostrils.

He frowned calmly.

This sandalwood was the scent commonly used by Queen Baizi during her lifetime.

Zhu Li Fengxu glanced at the graceful Queen Mother sitting on the rosewood inlaid boxwood throne with flower patterns, lowered her head and said respectfully:
"I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Lifeng, who was dressed in red like a maple, and took a look at him. He had handsome features and a coquettish mole on his left eyelid, just...

Queen Mother Zhang's eyes fell on his gauze-wrapped neck and asked aloud: "Is King Jin'an injured?"

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, I encountered a barbarian on the way and my skin was slightly torn. It's no longer serious." Zhu Lifeng's voice was calm, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for bearing in mind."

"This barbarian bandit is so powerful that he actually made King Jin'an suffer." Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and sighed, "Do we need help from the Ai family?"

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness." Zhu Lifeng said without changing his expression: "I have eliminated the mere barbarians."

The eunuch carried a round bundle to Queen Mother Zhang, who leaned her upper body slightly forward and glanced at it.

It's Zhu Chu's head.

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled with great satisfaction: "King Jin'an played an important role in wiping out the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Zhu Lifeng said: "This is what I should do."

"Does Arqiong have any clues?" Queen Mother Zhang asked.

"Not yet." Zhu Lifeng replied calmly.

Queen Mother Zhang stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes and a smile.

Zhu Lifeng was calm and composed.

After a moment, Queen Mother Zhang put her fist to her lips, coughed slightly, and then waved her hand, signaling Zhu Lifeng to retreat.

As soon as Zhu Lifeng left, the nanny handed the tea cup to Queen Mother Zhang and said in confusion: "Now that Zhu Chu has been eliminated, why does the Queen Mother still not believe in King Jin'an?"

Zhu Chu is Zhu Lifeng's biological father. He personally offered his father's head on his neck. Isn't he still worthy of trust?

Queen Mother Zhang took a sip of tea and said calmly: "King Jin'an is a smart man. He knows the situation well and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"During the war, King Jin'an saw the outcome of defeat first and knew that the destruction of the country was inevitable, so he made the decision to commit treason."

Because of this, after the change of dynasties, Zhu Lifeng became the King of Jin'an.

"Loyalty is inherently rare for people like him."

Mammy asked: "In the Queen Mother's opinion, King Jin'an can never be trusted?"

"Do not."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the door and curved her lips with a smile: "The moment the Aiqiong meets Aqiong, that's when the Ai family trusts King Jin'an."

Leave the palace and return to the palace.

Zhu Lifeng stood in the corridor with his hands behind his hands, a gloomy atmosphere lingering around him.

Suddenly, he punched the wall brick hard, cracks appeared in the hard stone wall, and gravel fell to the ground.

The skin on his hands was broken, and bright red blood dripped out.

The personal guards who were with him were shocked by this move. After all, when their prince was angry, others usually suffered.

This is the first time that the prince himself has suffered disaster.

Zhu Lifeng continued to exude a sudden cold breath.

The air seemed to become thinner.

Only endless silence remains.

After a long time, the sound of scraping boots was heard.Zhao Zeyang walked forward and saw Zhu Lifeng's expression of concern, so he didn't dare to look any further.

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Lifeng only raised his eyes when he heard this. Zhao Zeyang immediately understood and asked all the guards and maids to retreat.

Zhu Lifeng's eyes darkened and he asked aloud: "How did His Highness' neck get hurt?"

Zhao Zeyang said: "Ruan Qiu and Mu Xiye were discovered by His Highness. The three of them had a conflict and accidentally injured His Highness."

"Accidentally?" Zhu Lifeng sneered, "If I chop off your head, can it be said that you were not careful?"

Hearing this, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhao Zeyang's forehead and he did not dare to answer.

Zhu Lifeng looked into the distance, his long hair and clothes flying, thinking of Tan Shu's words, "The person who wants to take me away".

Talk about special.

This name makes people feel unlucky when they think about it.

Zhu Lifeng asked with a serious face: "What is the relationship between His Highness and Tan Shu?"

Zhao Zeyang thought about it for a moment and then said bravely: "The Crown Prince of Wuhou Mansion asks His Highness to help find Zhong Zibian's whereabouts."

Zhu Lifeng chuckled and said sarcastically: "A mere eldest son of Wuhou Mansion is worthy of instructing His Highness to do things?"

Assisting... instructing... doesn't seem to mean the same thing, right?

Zhao Zeyang thought for a moment and said worriedly: "If the Wuhou Mansion knew that we were responsible for the poison..."

"What are you afraid of? The Nirvana poison was planted by Li Zhaoyi, the crown prince of Beidu Kingdom." Zhu Lifeng said unconcernedly, "Marquis Wu is protecting the territory for the royal family, but the royal family wants to harm the descendants of Marquis Wu. As soon as this news comes out, The people will definitely be dissatisfied with the royal family. They will kill each other, and we will reap the benefits."

"Tan Shu is a wolf cub raised by Lord Wu himself. He is not a kind person." Zhao Zeyang hesitated, "If they work together and send troops to attack Dongyao..."

Zhu Lifeng said, "The Beidu Kingdom is nothing more than a group of snakes and rats living in a den of corpses, so am I still afraid of them?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Zeyang showed an expression of embarrassment: "Your Highness knows the commander of the Jinyi Guards in Beidu and the prince of Wuhou Mansion. It is inevitable that he will be exploited."

Zhu Lifeng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "How dare these two bitches take advantage of His Highness?"

Zhao Zeyang wiped his cold sweat and whispered: "It's just a guess made by my subordinates."

Zhu Lifeng gave him a cold look and said firmly: "Absolutely impossible."

Zhao Zeyang: "Why is the prince so sure?"

Zhu Lifeng did not answer, but said mysteriously: "Your Highness will not be used. She has always been the only one who takes advantage of others."

Arjun can make people work hard for her and be willing to be her dog.

Zhao Zeyang seemed to understand but still said: "I understand."

Thinking of something, Zhu Lifeng's eyebrows were sharp and he ordered in a deep voice: "Tell Ruan Qiu and Mu Xiye to come back and see me."

Zhao Zeyang accepted the order: "Yes."

At dusk, the wind blew the bamboo curtains and lanterns hanging under the eaves swaying, and a bamboo forest planted along the wall dragged out messy shadows.

Zhu Lifeng's face looked a little warmer under the lamp. He glanced at his hand that had stopped bleeding and his eyes narrowed slightly.

When those in power fight, it is the people who suffer in the end.

Queen Baizi cares about the common people in the world, but Zhu Lifeng does not.

To him, the life and death of people in the world are worse than that of ants.

If Emperor Lu Zhan had insisted on using poison and allowing the people of the whole country to be buried with him, Zhu Lifeng would have witnessed the dismal feat of millions of corpses lying on top of each other.

It's a pity that Queen Baizi stopped her.

Nowadays, the emperor of Dongyao Kingdom is still young and the Empress Dowager Zhang is in charge of the power. Zhu Lifeng is restrained everywhere.

It is not difficult for him to break the situation.

Whether it was a clash of swords between the two countries or a turmoil in the Beidu Kingdom, he could benefit from it.

The only one Zhu Lifeng was unsure about was Bai Qiong.

He has to go to Beidu Kingdom again.
