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

"You? How dare you insult our Concubine Rou!"

Cui'er couldn't bear to see her master being humiliated, so she pointed at Zhao'er's nose and prepared to have a good argument with him.

Zhao'er had lived a miserable life in the past because Du Qingwan was not liked. Now that the situation has changed, how can she accept it?

Soon, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight with Cui'er and others to determine the winner.

"Have I bullied your mistress? I just reminded our queen not to lend anything to the little mouse, so as to avoid being blamed again. Is that wrong? Humph!"

Zhao'er refused to give in and was determined to vent Du Qingwan's anger. His handsome face was filled with pride.

Cui'er has always been arrogant and domineering, so she could not tolerate Zhao'er, a poor maid, riding on her head and throwing feces on her.

It would have been fine if she had insulted herself, but she also insulted her master as a little mouse. Cui'er really couldn't swallow this at all.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you little bitch! Someone, come on!"

Cui'er gave an order and turned around to call on the other maids and guards to come forward and deal with Zhao'er.

Upon hearing this, several people quickly surrounded Zhao'er and Du Qingwan, all of them looking like they would not stop fighting.

Seeing this, Du Qingwan quickly protected Zhao'er behind her, with a gloomy face and gritted teeth, she said in a deep voice:

"Stop! Who of you dares? I am the dignified Queen of Daye, in charge of the six palaces under the order of the Queen Mother!

If anyone dares to act rashly in my Renshou Palace today, I will make sure you never see the sun tomorrow!

If you don’t believe me, you might as well give it a try! "

Du Qingwan's voice was extremely cold, and there was no ripple in her clear eyes.

Not even anger.

She looked more calm and as if the struggle between these servants had nothing to do with her at all.

To be more precise, she firmly believed that these people would not dare to do anything to her, nor would they dare to attack Zhao'er.

The reason why Du Zhirou was bluffing was just to show her power and assert her sovereignty. There was no need to bother with her.

"What a joke! Why wouldn't we dare? As long as I go to the Queen Mother and accuse you of murdering the Emperor, you will be killed!"

Du Zhirou was quite confident and looked calm and composed.

But, in the end, she herself is the joke.

The next second, Du Qingwan slapped her hard in the face.

Du Qingwan walked gently to Du Zhirou, and suddenly approached her pretty face, saying with a half-smile:

"Oh? Why didn't I think of that? It's such a pity that such a good play couldn't be performed!

My dear sister, do you think that the Queen Mother could restore my title of Queen, and that she wouldn't know about the little things that happened between me and the dog emperor?"

"Since she knows, do you think there is any point in you going to complain? Then you...wouldn't you be courting death?"

Du Qingwan spoke casually and was unusually calm.

What she said was all true. Only a fool would think that Queen Mother Qiao didn't know about her substitutionary marriage and the assassination of Zhu Yunhao.

Du Zhirou originally wanted to use this matter to blackmail Du Qingwan, but after Du Qingwan pointed it out, she instantly realized that she was careless.

"Sister, don't be too proud! I have plenty of ways to deal with you, and I can also let you experience hundreds of ways to die! We'll see!"

Du Zhirou knew very well that she would lose face if she continued to stay, so after giving a stern warning, she turned around and left.

When Cui'er and the others saw their master leaving in anger, they were filled with hatred and wished they could vent their anger for their master immediately.

However, Du Qingwan was now the high and mighty queen, and their lives were still in her hands, so she turned around and prepared to leave Renshou Palace.

But it's easy to come, but it's not so easy to leave.

Especially if you want to leave alive as if nothing happened, that is simply a pipe dream.

"Wait! Did I allow you slaves to leave?

You have no respect for the law and no regard for hierarchy, you deserve to be put to death!

"My Renshou Palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please? Do you think I, the queen, am just a decoration?"

What shocked everyone present was that Du Qingwan actually spoke so wildly, as if she was trying to vent her anger.

Although they had the support of Du Zhirou and Zhu Yunhao, they also knew that Du Qingwan was protected by Queen Mother Qiao, and they were immediately confused.

On second thought, even if Du Qingwan has the support of Queen Mother Qiao, what does it matter? I heard that Queen Mother Qiao is about to die.

And behind them is the emperor, the ruler of a country.

"so what?"

Cui'er took the lead and quickly came to her senses, stopping involuntarily without any fear at all.

Seeing this, several people who were traveling with him turned back and challenged him.

"How about it? Someone, come here, drag these slaves out and give them thirty strokes of the cane!"

It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Du Qingwan suddenly felt that she couldn't be too aggrieved in her role as queen.

If I don't show some dignity as a queen, the Daye harem will probably change hands sooner or later.

It's a good opportunity to use these people as a warning to others.

"Yes! Queen! Someone, take them all away!"

As soon as Du Qingwan finished speaking, a young eunuch quickly ran in from outside the door and responded respectfully.

Cui'er has always been a bully, so how could she tolerate Du Qingwan punishing her like this?

"Du Qingwan, if you dare to touch a hair on my head today, I will go back and tell Concubine Rou and the Emperor..."

Although Cui'er began to feel guilty, she could not save face and could only make a last-ditch struggle.

She bet that Du Qingwan wouldn't dare to touch her.

But soon, she was slapped in the face, and it hurt so much!

"Take her away! Beat her with fifty lashes of the cane! For the others, thirty lashes! For the dead, throw them all into a mass grave for me!"

"Yes! Queen!"

Du Qingwan was not someone who would be frightened, and she was very decisive when giving orders.

The young eunuch was also very cooperative and quickly captured several people.

"Please spare my life, Queen! I know I was wrong! Queen..."

"The Queen..."

"what---"

The maids present were stunned and knelt down to beg for mercy.

But Du Qingwan did not say anything else. She waved her hand to signal the eunuch to take all the maids out and punish them with canes.

Soon, there were bursts of earth-shattering and ghost-crying wails coming from outside the door, each one more miserable than the last.

When Zhao'er heard this, his scalp instantly went numb and he got goose bumps.

Thinking about the retribution suffered by Cui'er and others, he felt a lot better, but Zhao'er was still a little worried.

After all, as soon as Du Zhirou left, Du Qingwan punished the people in her palace.

If the dog emperor Zhu Yunhao knew about this, wouldn’t it cause a lot of trouble?

"Miss, if we punish them like this, will the emperor come to vent their anger on their behalf?"

Zhao'er endured for a long time, and while pouring tea for Du Qingwan, he asked carefully.

At this time, Zhao'er's mood was undoubtedly complicated.

She began to question whether the two of them were too impulsive.

"What are you afraid of? If he dares to come to their defense, I will kill him with one shot!"

While talking, Du Qingwan quickly took out a silver needle and fiddled with it proudly in front of Zhao'er.

She didn't look like she was joking, though.

Zhao Er stared at the silver needle for several seconds, then smiled awkwardly:

"My young lady is still the best! Haha..."

"Of course! I'll protect you from now on, so don't be afraid of them!"

Catching Zhao'er's admiring look, Du Qingwan patted her chest twice and promised solemnly.

When Zhao'er heard her say this, he was naturally very happy and couldn't stop smiling.
