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

"Mother, the Qianqing Palace is a place for meetings, and the harem is not allowed to participate in meetings. Why are you here?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Yunhao acted superior, his eyes were cold, and his murderous intent grew stronger.

When Queen Mother Qiao heard Zhu Yunhao say this, she naturally felt very uncomfortable and her expression changed immediately.

"What? The emperor means that I shouldn't be here anymore?

"I conquered Daye with my late emperor, but now I don't even have the right to govern?"

Queen Mother Qiao's tone was extremely cold and her attitude was very bad.

Not only did Zhu Yunhao not understand, even the other ministers present did not dare to say a word.

"Mother, you are...too kind! I don't mean that! It's just..."

Zhu Yunhao looked embarrassed, hesitant and seemed to be unable to speak.

He was indeed in a difficult situation and couldn't even save face.

"Just what? I came at a bad time, didn't I?

You guys continue to discuss your politics, and I will just listen."

What shocked everyone present was that Queen Mother Qiao interrupted Zhu Yunhao impatiently before he finished speaking.

She appeared to be calm and composed on the surface, but in fact she had no idea what was going on.

"In that case, my dear ministers, let us continue our discussion!

Regarding Du Lu's disappearance last night, do you have any different opinions?"

Knowing that Queen Mother Qiao was present and that he had lost all face, Zhu Yunhao quickly returned to the topic, looking extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, the scene was dead silent.

"I think Dulu's disappearance is not just a prison break. There may be a hidden reason behind it."

"How can I explain this clearly? If someone says he's gone, he's gone. Alas!"

"Could it be that Du Lu really escaped from prison? He...he was planning a rebellion?"

"Then we can't raid the Du family's residence now, as that would alert the enemy!

In my opinion, it is best to detain him and wait for his fate."

"Well, Dean Zhong's idea is good and it is safe and sound, indeed."

Under the majesty of Empress Dowager Qiao, the suffocating feeling that one could hear a pin drop lasted for nearly three minutes before the people at the scene made some noise.

Zhu Yunhao wanted to use the Du Mansion to contain Du Lu, and even wanted to use it to force Du Qingwan to return to the palace, so he naturally agreed to detain everyone in the Du Mansion.

"Emperor, the ministers have expressed their opinions. What do you think?"

"Although Du Lu has disappeared, this is a matter of whether the queen can return to the palace, and it is also a matter of concern to the tens of thousands of people in Daye. We cannot afford to neglect it."

Fearing that Zhu Yunhao might get carried away and be brainwashed by some ministers and become confused, Empress Dowager Qiao quickly spoke first with a sullen expression.

Zhu Yunhao couldn't feel any warmth at all, and couldn't help but shudder and tremble in his heart.

"I think what Lord Zhong said is absolutely right..."

Zhu Yunhao pondered for only a few seconds, then immediately showed a pleased expression and spoke calmly.

But what he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Qiao actually agreed with his idea for the first time:

"Then let's do as the emperor wishes! I also agree with the emperor's wishes!"

This time, not only was Zhu Yunhao completely shocked, even Zhang Xingguo, who had just wanted to execute Du Lu's entire family, was dumbfounded.

He looked at Queen Mother Qiao in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Yunhao, his face full of disbelief.

"Empress Dowager, Du Lu escaped from prison..."

Zhang Xingguo really couldn't hold it in any longer and stepped out again.

His voice trembled slightly and he looked very anxious.

But Queen Mother Qiao didn't seem to want to give him a chance to speak. She immediately interrupted him impatiently and didn't let him continue.

"Prime Minister Zhang, don't you understand what I and the Emperor mean?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingguo was terrified and quickly responded:

"I am guilty of my crime! Your Majesty the Queen Mother is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Xingguo put away his grievance with a thick face and quickly retreated back to the team with an extremely ugly look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao was also very satisfied and smiled and nodded.

The topic concerning Trudeau had ended from then on, and even if the people present still had different opinions, they did not dare to speak out.

After all, it is rare that Queen Mother Qiao and Zhu Yunhao agree with each other.

No one wants to make things difficult for themselves, or even be accused of disobeying the emperor's orders.

I have to say that Joo Yun-ho knows when to quit.

Soon, he moved on to a new topic.

"My dear ministers, this is the end of our discussion on the case of Dulu's escape from prison.

Next, we will discuss another issue. It is about the Queen's return to the palace..."

As expected by Empress Dowager Qiao, Zhu Yunhao finally mentioned whether to exchange Princess Yunluo for Du Qingwan.

Before Zhu Yunhao could finish his words, Queen Mother Qiao interrupted him coldly and said calmly:

"I think that Daye should actively negotiate peace with Loulan and bring back the queen as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Queen Mother Qiao has always been decisive in killing people. It is not her habit to drag her feet, and her attitude is very firm.

The moment his sharp eyes swept across everyone, everyone in the audience was terrified, and no one dared to refute.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao suddenly became furious.

But for the last bit of his remaining dignity, he still tried to restrain himself, coughed twice, and pretended to be calm:

"Um... Mother, I agree to change the queen back.

But it is definitely not the case that Yunluo will be sent to Loulan right now..."

When Zhu Yunhao said this, he didn't know where he got the courage from, but his head was buzzing.

As expected by the ministers, every time this matter was mentioned, Queen Mother Qiao would insist on her own ideas.

Exchange Princess Yunluo for Du Qingwan.

But Zhu Yunhao's attitude was also very clear. He firmly opposed sending Princess Yunluo to Loulan.

"Then according to the emperor's wishes, should we continue to send a concubine to Loulan in exchange for the queen?

Do you all think that the King of Loulan is a fool who would be attracted by any cat or dog?"

When Queen Mother Qiao heard Zhu Yunhao's opposition to sending Princess Yunluo to Loulan again, she couldn't help but get furious.

She glared at Zhu Yunhao fiercely and continued with disdain:

"The queen is intelligent and talented, and is good at both civil and military affairs. If I had not insisted on sending her to Loulan, there would have been a fierce battle between Loulan and Daye by now."

After speaking coldly, Queen Mother Qiao glanced at the scene, her face covered with a murderous intent that no one could understand.

Zhu Yunhao naturally could not agree with Queen Mother Qiao's statement, and immediately lost his composure and said coldly:

"Mother, I think Yunluo is still young and cannot get married yet. This is immoral..."

Zhu Yunhao stopped talking here suddenly and didn't dare to continue.

In fact, everyone understood what he meant.

He simply didn't want Princess Yunluo to go to Loulan for marriage.

But Empress Dowager Qiao would not allow him to do so.

"In that case, I will not force the emperor. Why don't I discuss it with the King of Loulan and let the emperor go to Loulan to negotiate peace?"

Zhu Yunhao never dreamed that Queen Mother Qiao would have such evil ambitions.

She actually wanted him to go to Loulan as a hostage!

Of course he couldn't agree to that!

Wouldn't that be like going to Loulan to die?
