Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 81

"Little sister, when I found her that day, she had only one breath left, but she still gave a brief summary of the matter intermittently." Du Zhengxuan changed the subject, making Du Xiaoyue's eyes brighten, "Little sister, can you guess?" That's right, your mother's death really has an inside story."

"What did Hua Hong say?"

"What she said is not important. The important thing is that your mother met Ding Yingwei before she died. After Ding Yingwei left, she found out that your mother had gone." Du Zhengxuan replied evasively.

But Du Xiaoyue was not satisfied with Du Zhengxuan's answer, and continued to ask: "What about the bonus? Did she hear something before being silenced?"

"No, maybe it's because they're afraid of you to investigate!" Du Zhengxuan found it difficult to justify himself.

"So, Huahong died because of me?" Du Xiaoyue was a little hard to be confident. According to Du Zhengxuan's words, Huahong was killed because of what she said that day in Du Mansion! "What about mother?! Mother said in the letter that I should not intervene in the disputes of the court. How did she know that I was involved in the disputes of the court? Did mother also die because of me?" After talking, Du Xiaoyue Tears filled the frame when he uttered this guess that had been in his heart for a long time—if this was the case, that is to say, he killed two people because of him!No, there should be many, the death of Qingzhu's family is also related to me!
"It's not like that." Du Zhengxuan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from Du Xiaoyue's face, coaxing, "These things have nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself!"

"Third brother, is it related to me, I know it in my heart!" Du Xiaoyue pursed her lips tightly, her face was already pale, and after a long silence, she asked slowly, "In the current situation, Du Kangyong has decided to abandon my Useless chess pieces, have you reached the final stage, and both of you are going to fight your back?"

"It's almost there. When your second brother returns to court, it's time to settle all old and new accounts." Du Zhengxuan replied softly, with relief in his eyes, as if he had been looking forward to this matter for a long time.

Such Du Zhengxuan made Du Xiaoyue puzzled. Although he was sitting in front of her, Du Xiaoyue felt that he was far away from her. "Third Brother, why did you contradict your own father and insist on bringing him down?"

"What about you? Why did you contradict him again and make him think that you must be removed?" Du Zhengxuan didn't answer, turned his head, stared at Du Xiaoyue and asked.

"I just don't like being used by others!" Du Xiaoyue didn't evade, and replied calmly, "I have the right to choose my own life, why should I be at the mercy of him? But I didn't do anything too much, I just gave Tan Wenhao Just a few suggestions."

"Do you know that those little suggestions of yours have greatly hurt his power!" Du Zhengxuan chuckled, "Actually, I believe even more that Du Kangyong regrets sending you to the palace—if he had known that he would Your daughter is so resourceful and knowledgeable."

"I'm just wondering, how did he know that I was helping Tan Wenhao?"

"The people who used to have him in the palace have now been eliminated."

Du Zhengxuan's light words made Du Xiaoyue feel terrified. It seems that there are eyes everywhere in this palace, and everyone's every move is being watched!It seems that this palace really cannot stay forever! "I'm done answering, do you have to tell me, what about you?" Don't think about other things for now, let's figure out the matter in front of you first.

"Me?" Du Zhengxuan sneered, stood up, and looked at the candle beside him, "This matter is a bit complicated, but it's too late at night, let's talk about it another day!" After speaking, he picked up the mask and put it on his face. In a muffled voice, "Little sister, go to bed early, remember to close the doors and windows when you sleep!" After speaking, he flew out of the window with a whimper.

Du Xiaoyue was taken aback again, this person really came and went without a trace, no wonder he became a 'spy'.

In the middle of the night, it is the beginning of all the schemes.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Die has the latest information: Hong Lang's envoy will arrive in the capital ahead of Du Chuyang's army within three days, but Hong Lang's envoy will first meet with Du Kangyong at the Yuejun Inn thirty miles outside the capital. In the future, I will meet with Du Chuyang." Xiao Die knelt on the ground with one knee, and reported to the pavilion master sitting in the upper position in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Hui Die found out that Cangyao has been in drought and food shortage for two months. The silver and food for disaster relief have already been distributed, but they have been embezzled by officials at various levels. In the end, very little has reached the victims' hands. Now The roadsides in Cangyao are full of victims of starvation, selling their children and daughters is common, and there are even tragedies of eating dead human flesh." Hui Die also knelt on the ground on one knee, and reported the latest news deeply . "Hui Die has recorded the names of the corresponding officials, please be enlightened by the emperor." He presented the booklet in his hand respectfully, and then stood aside to follow the instructions.

"Your Majesty, the 'merchant' sent to Li Country has successfully established roots in Li Country, and established relationships with people from all walks of life. Now they can proceed as planned." Xiudie knelt on the ground and reported.

Tan Wenhao sat upright, with a calm face, flipping through the brochures handed over by Hui Die, and after half a cup of tea, he put down the brochures, and commanded authoritatively: "Xiao Die, continue to send people to monitor the envoys of the Honglang Kingdom, especially It will be their meeting three days later; Xiu Die will return to Li Country to direct all deployments, and if necessary, he can cut first and play later; Hui Die will step down for the time being, I have my own opinion on this matter."

Sandie took the order and flew away, Tan Wenhao immediately turned black, grabbed the folder on the table, and threw it heavily on the table, but fell off the table with a snap.Damn you bastards who deceived you, you were supposed to be dealt with in June, but now it seems that you will die!
"Eunuch Liu, who was yelling outside just now?" The door of Nuanxin Pavilion was suddenly opened, and Eunuch Liu was accompanying him outside.

"Back to the emperor, they are the palace servants in Jiaoyin Pavilion. But according to the emperor's order, the servants have already sent them away." Eunuch Liu replied confidently with a low eyebrow.

"Immediately pass down the order now. Concubine Li Gui has been in a state of mind recently, and I have specially ordered Li Shangshu and his wife to visit Concubine Li in the palace tomorrow." Tan Wenhao calmly issued the order.

"Then is the emperor going to Zhaoyang Palace or going back to Qianqing Palace?" No matter what, the emperor must be settled first before he can go to announce the order; and these few days, the emperor only went to Zhaoyang Palace, not to mention paying respects. Juezi soup was sent to the office, and a large amount of rewards were sent to Zhaoyang Palace, all of which showed that the emperor was pampering the queen vigorously.

Regarding Eunuch Liu's question, Tan Wenhao was silent.At this moment, she wanted to go to Zhaoyang Palace in her heart, but since she kissed Du Xiaoyue that day, she became more indifferent to herself. She tried to avoid the close distance between the two of them, and she always stood three steps away when talking. Sit beside me casually, only across the table.Du Xiaoyue's refusal made Tan Wenhao feel very frustrated. May I ask which woman in the harem doesn't want to be favored by her?But as for her, she was not interested in the rewards, and she spoke indifferently, except for asking about Du Kangyong, she had nothing to say. "Put on a shelf and go to Zhaoyang Palace!" It's not that she wants to put her face on her cold ass, but just to try, she really has no feelings for herself, is she really like a lake of stagnant water for herself? ! "Eunuch Liu, you can just send a small eunuch to pass the message, you go back to rest, and I will go to Zhaoyang Palace by myself."

In Zhaoyang Palace, Du Xiaoyue stopped the pen in her hand, stood up, cut the candle flowers, and then returned to the desk, twisting her neck back and forth, while picking up the page she had just written and shaking it up and down, letting the The ink dries up as soon as possible, and then the paper is folded, placed in thick vellum, and sandwiched in other books.

"What is Yue'er doing? Why is she still up so late? Are you waiting for me?" When Tan Wenhao came in, he saw Du Xiaoyue tidying up the desk. He didn't notice the arrival of others at all, and walked gently He came to her side, wrapped her in his arms, and asked softly.

As soon as I packed up my things, my waist was suddenly bound, and I couldn't help being taken aback. When I found out that it was Tan Wenhao, I had to struggle a bit: "Oh! You really have a thick skin, what are you doing? Only one eye sees me waiting for you?"

Wrapping tightly around the person in his arms, he asked with a half-smile, "Then who climbs into my bed every night in the middle of the night?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when Du Xiaoyue was mentioned, he became angry: "I don't know which scoundrel likes to play the game of moving people and changing beds in the middle of the night!" These days, I slept on a couch at night, but woke up the next morning. When you come, you will always be in bed! "Let go of me, men and women can't tell, don't touch your hands!" I really don't know, he didn't give him a good face when he came here, and he didn't have soft jade and fragrance to hug, why he loves to run here every day ? !As a result, those concubines stared at him with rabbit-like eyes for the past few days - they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles!

"No hands or feet?" Tan Wenhao thought for a while, then raised his lips and smiled. Du Xiaoyue had to turn his back to him, otherwise he would know how treacherous his smile was. With a bewitching voice, "Is it okay to move your mouth?"

Du Xiaoyue blushed suddenly, her ears burned, her body trembled slightly, and her mind was buzzing. After a long while, her beating heart calmed down, and she asked in a slightly teasing tone: "Your Majesty, are you showing that you are What about your flirting skills? I have to say that you are a seasoned lover and know how to seduce women! However, Du Xiaoyue is not interested in your flirting skills, you should find other concubines to use your seductive power !"

Originally, she was very satisfied with Du Xiaoyue's physical reaction, but her brain's reaction was even faster. Even if she didn't reject herself very much physically, it's a pity that her reason is always like that. Two or three words can freeze people into the ice cellar inside. "Yue'er, you were the first woman I seduced, but you didn't succeed, so I'm not a veteran in love." You know, other women don't need to say or do anything, they will all be like gummy candy. Same, stick to it.
