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

Daye, Qian'an Palace

"Your Majesty, you haven't visited me for several days.

I have been thinking about you coming day and night, but..."

Du Zhi lay softly in Zhu Yunhao's arms, acting coquettishly.

But Zhu Yunhao's eyes were dull and he showed no interest at all.

"Oh, my beloved, I have been a little busy these days!

After this busy period is over, I will go to Huaide Palace to accompany you every day."

Zhu Yunhao's words were very perfunctory, but they were indeed very powerless.

Queen Mother Qiao has recently been urging Zhu Yunhao to send Princess Yunluo to Loulan, and the relationship between mother and son is very tense.

As everyone knows, Princess Yunluo is Zhu Yunhao's favorite.

There was no way he could send her to Loulan.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about Princess Yunluo?"

"Ah~"

Facing Du Zhirou's question, Zhu Yunhao had nothing to say. He just sighed helplessly and picked up the teacup, pretending to be calm.

Seeing this, Du Zhirou couldn't help but laugh or cry, and immediately left Zhu Yunhao's arms, saying slowly:

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. If you say east, who would dare to go west?

The Empress Dowager is just a female member of the family and cannot participate in politics.

Who has the final say in the Daye Dynasty? Isn't it just a matter of your words, Your Majesty?"

I have to say, Du Zhirou is really good at comforting Zhu Yunhao.

Her few words touched Zhu Yunhao's heart.

Zhu Yunhao gently stroked the back of her hand, looked at her with a smile and said:

"It is still Concubine Rou who understands me the best! Eunuch Liu, please go to Ren'an Palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please proceed to Ren'an Palace~"

Soon, Zhu Yunhao got up and prepared to go to Ren'an Palace.

But just as Eunuch Liu finished speaking, the effeminate voice of Eunuch Qi came from outside the door:

"The Queen Mother has arrived~"

"Good luck to the Queen Mother~"

The next moment, everyone in Qian'an Palace saluted in unison.

Queen Mother Qiao waved her hand, said sternly, "No need for formalities," and then walked straight to Zhu Yunhao and sat down.

"Emperor, you stay in this Qian'an Palace all day long and never attend court. How long do you plan to continue to fight me?"

As soon as she sat down, Empress Dowager Qiao picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, her eyes extremely sharp.

"In short, as long as the Queen Mother wants to send Yun Luo to Loulan, I will definitely not follow her wishes!"

Zhu Yunhao was determined to protect Princess Yunluo. He didn't show any fear at all at this moment. He just smiled coldly.

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Qiao instantly lost her composure:

"Emperor! Don't let your emotions get the better of you! That little bitch Du Qingwan has already arrived in Loulan. Who knows what earth-shattering things she might do in the future."

“As the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.

You are now determined to break up with me just for a child!"

Queen Mother Qiao's tone was very cold and her expression was very ugly.

Du Zhirou, who was standing by, was so terrified that she didn't even dare to fart.

Her palms were covered in cold sweat and her head was buzzing as if it was about to explode.

"Mother, it's inappropriate for you to say that, isn't it? It was you who insisted on sending the Queen to Loulan for marriage. I objected to that, didn't I?"

Zhu Yunhao didn't take it seriously. He sneered and quickly picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

His sharp eyes swept across the entire audience, and finally fell on Queen Mother Qiao involuntarily, and continued:

"Others may not know, but am I confused too?

Do you really want to send the Queen to marry a foreign prince?

You must have arranged many assassins to deal with her along the way, right?"

The conspiracy was exposed, and Queen Mother Qiao could no longer remain calm. She stood up suddenly and pointed at Zhu Yunhao with a trembling finger:

"You?! Emperor! You'd better not play tricks on me!

I want to remind you that Dulu was defeated again recently and gave three cities to the Northern Kingdom!"

"Also, King Anyuan has been imprisoned by the Northern Kingdom and has become a hostage. You can do whatever you want!"

Empress Dowager Qiao originally came for this matter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at Qian'an Palace, she not only did not have the chance to mention the matter, but instead had a conflict with Zhu Yunhao because of Yunluo's matter.

This really made her very angry.

But Zhu Yunhao seemed to not care about anything else except Princess Yunluo.

He pulled Du Zhirou into his arms, raised his eyes and stared at Queen Mother Qiao with a half-smile, and said:

"So what? Wasn't Prince Anyuan the regent appointed by you and the ministers?

Now that he has been defeated like Du Lu, why not just kill them? "

"Come here, pass on my order. Immediately send people to seal off Du Lu's General's Mansion and Anyuan Prince's Mansion, and execute the entire family!"

What shocked everyone present was that Zhu Yunhao seemed to be possessed by a demon and wanted to execute the entire Anyuan Palace and the Du family.

Queen Mother Qiao was so angry that her lungs ached and she almost fainted.

She staggered to her feet, leaning on her crutches with great effort, her voice trembling violently as she angrily said:

"Emperor! You...you are totally inhuman!"

Queen Mother Qiao was so angry that she had nothing to say. She subconsciously reached out and rubbed her temples, trying to maintain the last bit of her sanity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yunhao sneered and asked casually:

"Really? Mother, is this the first day you've met me?

Someone, come! Send the Queen Mother back to Ren'an Palace! Without my order, the Queen Mother is not allowed to step out of Ren'an Palace!"

This time, Queen Mother Qiao was completely speechless and her face turned blue with anger.

"Your Highness, please?"

Soon, Eunuch Liu came forward and asked Empress Dowager Qiao to leave.

"You? You guys? ... All of you just wait for me!"

Queen Mother Qiao knew very well that she was no match for Zhu Yunhao at the moment, and there was no need for her to continue staying in the Qian'an Palace and lose face, so she left angrily.

"Goodbye, mother. I won't see you off!"

Seeing Queen Mother Qiao leave in anger, Zhu Yunhao was filled with joy. He did not show any guilt at all. He still held the beauty in his arms and drank tea calmly.

But at this time, Du Zhirou was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, and her face turned pale as death.

"Your Majesty! I beg you to take back what you just said!

My father lost the battle, and it wasn't his fault!"

After a while, Du Zhirou finally woke up completely.

After regaining consciousness, the first thing she did was to beg Zhu Yunhao to revoke his order and not to wipe out the entire Du family.

Zhu Yunhao's face immediately darkened, and he sneered:

"Then according to what my beloved concubine said, your father lost the battle and caused Daye to lose three more cities. Is it my fault?"

Du Zhirou never expected that Zhu Yunhao, who was so affectionate with her one minute ago, would suddenly become so cruel the next second.

In order to save the entire Du family, she could only choose to endure and try to beg Zhu Yunhao to show some mercy.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that! I just thought that the Du family had raised me for so many years..."

Du Zhirou originally wanted to say that since Du Lu had lost the battle, it would be better to dismiss him from his post and let him retire and return home.

Who knew that Zhu Yunhao's thoughts did not waver at all.

He just smiled helplessly, pretending to be calm and nonchalant:

“It is precisely because the Du family raised you and the queen that I only raided the Du family and will not involve you and the queen.

Concubine Rou, I am a little tired today, you should go back first!"

When Du Zhirou heard Zhu Yunhao asking her to leave, she panicked instantly.
