You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

He raised his hand and scratched his ear, saying coldly:

"I am tired. Queen, you are on your own!

Come, send the Queen back to Renshou Palace! Without my order, the Queen is not allowed to take a single step out of Renshou Palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please?"

Eunuch Liu quickly understood and pointed with his whisk, signaling Du Qingwan to return to the palace quickly.

Du Qingwan was already full of anger, and now being ignored by Zhu Yunhao, she immediately fainted from anger.

When she woke up, she was already lying on the soft couch in Renshou Palace.

"Zhao'er, what's wrong with me?"

The first thing Du Qingwan said after waking up was to ask Zhao'er about her own situation.

She just fainted from anger, nothing serious happened.

Zhao Er would not hide it: "Miss, you just fainted suddenly, the doctor said you are fine."

"I have to go see the Queen Mother. I can't go to marry..."

Du Qingwan insisted on going to see Empress Dowager Qiao, and struggled to get out of bed, but was quickly stopped by Zhao'er.

"Miss, please stop making such a fuss. The Empress Dowager's order is probably useless even if the late Emperor were still alive."

In Zhao'er's opinion, instead of rushing to give away her life, Du Qingwan would be better off staying in Renshou Palace.

To take a step back, even if Daye finally decided to send Du Qingwan to Loulan for marriage, she could at least live a peaceful life for a few days, right?

Besides, if Du Qingwan goes to Loulan and really becomes the Queen of Loulan, her future will be bright.

At least, that's what Zhao'er thought.

She just hoped that Du Qingwan would stop making a fuss for the time being and leave everything to fate.

After all, Zhao'er had seen a lot about the viciousness of Queen Mother Qiao and the cruelty of Zhu Yunhao.

"How do we know if we don't try? The Queen Mother is always calm and composed, she would never make such a hasty decision."

“Besides, I have saved her life more than once.

The Queen Mother is not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them. Someone must have forced her to do this."

Du Qingwan still refused to give up and was determined to go find the Queen Mother.

No matter how Zhao'er tried to persuade her, it was useless. He could only watch her get down to the ground and put on her shoes.

"Queen, where are you going?"

At this moment, Nanny Tian suddenly came in, supporting Empress Dowager Qiao.

Du Qingwan was stunned for a moment and was at a loss for words.

Empress Dowager Qiao sat down on the chair calmly, quickly handed the crutch to Nanny Tian, ​​and then calmly picked up the tea on the small table and sipped it.

"Today's tea is good. I like it."

Seeing that Du Qingwan didn't say anything, Queen Mother Qiao gently put down the teacup, looked at her with a smile and asked:

"Queen, why don't you say anything? You hate me so much that you don't want to open up to me?"

Upon hearing this, Du Qingwan was so frightened that she trembled, her nerves were tense, and her head was buzzing.

[Oh my god! What is Queen Mother Qiao singing about?]

[She was the one who broke the bridge first, but now she is questioning me?]

[What should I do now? Should I just tell her that I won't go to Loulan to marry? Will she kill me in anger?]

[But… I really can’t go for the marriage! And I don’t like the King of Loulan! Ahhh! This is so annoying!]

"Queen, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Du Qingwan still said nothing, Empress Dowager Qiao began to become impatient.

Her face gradually became gloomy, giving people a chilling feeling.

"Ah? Uh... Your Majesty, this is what I think.

I had some conflicts with the King of Loulan during the competition, and we hated each other very much..."

Du Qingwan's brain searched rapidly for a while before she finally organized the words. She quickly responded with a smile.

But Queen Mother Qiao came prepared. She didn't even allow her to finish her words and interrupted her impatiently.

"So what? Loulan wants Princess Yunluo from Daye. She will die on the way anyway, so it doesn't matter who else goes."

Having said this, Queen Mother Qiao remained calm and continued to hold the teacup and drink tea calmly.

She quietly observed Du Qingwan's reaction from the corner of her eye, and was not surprised at all when she caught the shock and resistance in her eyes.

This was something she expected.

"Ah? ... Died on the way?"

The more Du Qingwan listened, the more confused she became, and she suddenly lost her composure.

[After all this fuss, this old witch actually wants me to die in her place!]

[How can this be called a replacement marriage? To say it is a replacement marriage is an understatement!]

[No wonder that little bitch Du Zhirou was so proud, it turns out she already knew all the inside story.]

[What should I do now? I'm going to die anyway, but I can't die without dignity, right?]

Du Qingwan was muttering to herself for a while, feeling anxious like an ant on a hot pan, and really didn't know what to do.

"Queen, you are not so naive as to think that I will let you, a deposed queen in the cold palace, become the real Queen of Loulan, right?"

As Queen Mother Qiao was speaking, she suddenly put down the cup.

He raised his eyes slightly to look at the dumbfounded Du Qingwan and continued:

"The kingdom of Daye was conquered by me and the late emperor.

Now, the emperor is bewitched by the two sisters of your Du family and has absolutely no ability to stabilize the country."

When it came to the sad part, Empress Dowager Qiao suddenly stopped talking.

It seems that this is her secret.

After a while, Empress Dowager Qiao took the walking stick, slowly walked in front of Du Qingwan, and gave a helpless smile.

“When I issued the decree to make you the queen, it was only because I hoped that your Du family could support the emperor.

Now it seems that you, the Du family, can no longer be counted on."

Queen Mother Qiao did not seem to be someone who would be easily sad, but at the end she let out long sighs one after another.

The wrinkled face shows a more vicissitudes of life.

Du Qingwan originally had a lot to say in her heart, but when she heard that Empress Dowager Qiao was planning to abandon the Du Mansion, she was suddenly at a loss.

"Empress Dowager, do you... have any misunderstandings about our Du Mansion?

Our Du family has three generations of loyal people and we have 100,000 soldiers and horses, which can definitely be used by you."

"I will go back and tell my father to obey your orders from now on..."

Du Qingwan's face was full of sincerity, and she only wanted to persuade Queen Mother Qiao to give up the idea of ​​letting her go to Loulan to marry Princess Yunluo.

Of course, she also did not agree to send Princess Yunluo to marry.

She is only ten years old!

There are always more ways than difficulties.

This is what Du Qingwan thought in her heart.

However, to her surprise, before she finished speaking, Queen Mother Qiao quickly interrupted her and sneered:

"One hundred thousand soldiers! Did you know that the emperor secretly trained three hundred thousand elite soldiers, all hidden among the common people?"

"Ah? This..."

The more Du Qingwan listened, the more confused she became. Her mouth involuntarily formed an O shape and she looked at Empress Dowager Qiao in confusion.

Queen Mother Qiao ignored her and continued in a cold voice:

"The emperor is still too young after all! He naively thought that if he brought Yun Luo to the palace, doted on her, and gave her everything she wanted, that bitch would be under his control."

At this point, Queen Mother Qiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After a moment, she began to laugh at herself helplessly again.

"I really regret not taking the initiative and killing that bitch before the emperor could move her.

Otherwise, how could we have the situation we have today?"

After listening to what Empress Dowager Qiao said, Du Qingwan seemed to understand but not quite.

The only thing that can be confirmed is ---

The conflict between Empress Dowager Qiao and the Emperor was because of a woman.

Moreover, that woman might be related to Princess Yunluo.

"who is she?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Qiao didn't speak for a long time and her body was trembling slightly, Du Qingwan couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and asked further questions.
