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

"You can just replace any other maid with someone else and Loulan won't notice, right?

Because none of them have ever seen Princess Yunluo, and they have no idea what she looks like, right?"

Du Qingwan had been troubled by these questions for a long time. Now that she finally had the opportunity to ask them in person, she suddenly became very nervous.

Of course, Zhu Yunhao had thought about these questions.

He had expected Du Qingwan to ask this, so he didn't feel strange at all.

"Because you are the queen, admired by everyone."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yunhao reached out and gently stroked her face, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something deeper to say.

"It's also because I can't get to Loulan, right?"

Du Qingwan suddenly felt a little sad and smiled bitterly.

Then, she turned around and left silently without further ado.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhao was stunned: [She knows everything?]

"Queen, if I say that I will never let you die on the road, do you believe me?"

What shocked Du Qingwan was that Zhu Yunhao actually asked her this question when she was about to leave Qian'an Palace.

Without hesitation, she sneered and responded quickly:

"Forget it! What's there to believe or not believe? I'm just a substitute bride, so I'll just leave it to fate!"

After Du Qingwan finished speaking, she quickly walked away without even looking back, and inexplicably felt a lot more open-minded.

Zhu Yunhao was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

"Lord Liu, you are..."

When Du Qingwan's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Zhu Yunhao woke up as if from a dream and called Eunuch Liu to come forward.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this? As for the Queen Mother..."

The two of them whispered for a while, but Eunuch Liu was still a little confused.

He still had doubts about what Zhu Yunhao had just told him.

Of course, he was more worried that the matter would be exposed, and then he would lose both the wife and the army.

"Just follow my instructions. I will be responsible for all the consequences."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Obviously, Eunuch Liu's objection was ineffective.

Zhu Yunhao still insisted on his plan.

"What about the North Country? What should we do next to completely eradicate the problem?"

The war in the North has been tense recently. King Anyuan led his troops to attack, but not only did he fail to achieve any victory, he also caused Daye to lose several cities.

Eunuch Liu was still worried that the people of Daye would see the trick of this war---

Daye took the initiative to send cities and soldiers to the Northern Kingdom.

"Prince Anyuan has suffered a series of defeats recently, and his troops have been seized by the Northern Kingdom before they even moved. What crime should he be punished for?"

What Eunuch Liu didn't expect was that Zhu Yunhao would actually speak like this, and he was stunned.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly understood.

"He deserves death for his crime! Wonderful, this move is really wonderful!

Your Majesty, I will draft an imperial edict to summon Prince Anyuan back to the court to answer for his crime."

Eunuch Liu was overjoyed and turned around to prepare to draft the imperial edict.

But Zhu Yunhao stopped him immediately and said with a smile:

"Hey, don't be impatient. The imperial edict will be drafted, but it will not be to summon Prince Anyuan back to the palace to confess his crime, but to execute him on the spot!

Eunuch Liu, do you understand what I mean now?"

"I understand. Your Majesty is wise."

The two exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

In just half an incense stick of time, Eunuch Liu had drafted the imperial edict.

Without any surprise, a minor imperial envoy received the imperial edict and rode to the north at full speed.

Daye Camp on the Northern Border

Prince Anyuan was drinking and having fun with Zixuan in the tent when He Kun suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"What? My brother wants to execute me on the spot? Is the news reliable?"

When Zhu Yajie heard He Kun say that the imperial envoy who delivered the imperial edict was already on his way to the north, he couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed.

He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. Zhu Yunhao, the tyrant, actually dared to execute him in front of the northern enemy troops and Daye soldiers.

"The news sent by carrier pigeon is absolutely true."

He Kun picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

He was hunting rabbits on a mountain not far from the tent just now. When he looked up, he saw a carrier pigeon perched in front of him.

When he opened the note on the pigeon's foot, he was suddenly extremely panicked. He hurried back to the tent with the note and did not even bother to pick up the rabbits he had just shot.

"Where is the imperial edict supposed to be?"

Prince Anyuan easily let go of Zixuan, burned the note, and asked He Kun in a calm manner.

He Kun counted again and again with his fingers, and soon he was sure:

"Probably near Youyun City."

"In this case, it will take another five days to get here."

As soon as He Kun finished speaking, Zhu Yunhao would immediately know the day of the arrival of the young imperial envoy.

"My Lord, what should we do next?

If the imperial edict arrives, whether we resist or not, we will be dead, what should we do?"

Zixuan never asked about political affairs, but after hearing the conversation between the two, she became very nervous and couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yajie looked back at her, his eyes full of affection.

"Zi Xuan, don't worry, I have my own way."

King Anyuan didn't want Zixuan to worry about him, so after gently stroking her white and smooth arm, he called He Kun over to explain his next plan.

After a while, He Kun received the order and walked out of the camp, rushing towards Youyun City at high speed.

Three days later, Du Mansion

"What? I asked you to marry in place of me and become the queen, and you...now you actually want the emperor to send you to Loulan as a marriage partner?"

When Pang Shi learned that Du Qingwan had gone from resisting the marriage in the beginning to actively begging to go to Loulan, she was immediately shocked.

She looked at Du Qingwan, who was calmly drinking tea, in confusion, her face full of disbelief.

In Pang Shi's subconscious mind, no matter whether Du Qingwan was favored or not, she could not leave Daye and go to Loulan to marry.

"Du Qingwan, are you still the daughter of our Du family?

In the past, we asked you to marry the emperor on behalf of your sister, but you refused.

Now we all hope that you and your sister can gain a foothold in the palace so as to bring benefits to our Du family, but what about you? "

"You are now actually begging the emperor to send you to marry!

Du Qingwan, is there water in your brain? Where is your former intelligence? "

Seeing that Du Qingwan didn't say a word, which was very different from her usual strong character, Pang Shi became even more anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

At this moment, she could still torment Du Qingwan a few times.

At least she could go back to the palace to make trouble for Zhu Yunhao and Queen Mother Qiao, and force them to give up on letting her go to Loulan for marriage.

Pang Shi was so angry that her eyes became blurry and she almost fainted.

After taking a few sips of tea, Pang was worried that Du Qingwan didn't understand what she meant, so she quickly added:

"Do you know that once you go to Loulan, you will become an enemy of Daye, and the Du family will be executed at any time because of you?"

After Pang Shi finished speaking, there were sighs one after another.

Du Qingwan gently put down the teacup, raised her eyes and said with a smile:

"So, this is what mother wanted to express?"

Du Qingwan spoke calmly, as if she didn't take Pang Shi's words to heart at all.

But she knew Pangzi very well, so she naturally understood what Pangzi was worried about.

He was simply worried that the Du family would be completely destroyed because of him.

But it is not difficult to understand. After all, Pang Shi was a mistress and finally became the mistress of the Du family.

Naturally, she had to protect the interests of the Du family.

Of course, there is also the wealth and glory of the Ponzi mother and daughter themselves.
