Daye, Ren'an Palace

"What? Du Qingwan, that little bitch, actually helped Loulan become a strong and prosperous country?"

Upon learning that Du Qingwan had benefited the people of Loulan and her praise was spread all over the world, Queen Mother Qiao was immediately furious.

Long before she sent Du Qingwan to Loulan for marriage, she knew that Du Qingwan had some abilities, but she didn't know that in just half a year, she could help Loulan seize the Thirteen Prefectures of Youyun and expand its territory nearly three times.

"Yes, Madam Queen. That's what the spies reported."

Eunuch Qi did not dare to hide it and responded tremblingly.

Nanny Tian at the side didn't dare to say a word and waited anxiously.

Queen Mother Qiao glanced at the two of them, raised her hand and rubbed her temple, sighed helplessly, and said:

"I am so angry! If I had known this would happen, I should not have sent her to Loulan to marry. I should have sent Yunluo there instead!"

"If that little bitch Du Qingwan was still in Daye, how could we have lost the Thirteen Prefectures of Youyun? And how could we have been conquered bit by bit by those barbarians in the Northern Kingdom?"

The more Empress Dowager Qiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and veins popped out on her face.

Because she was so angry, her voice trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Eunuch Qi and Nanny Tian didn't dare to say a word and both of them lowered their heads.

"Queen Dowager, please calm down. You were reluctant to part with Princess Yunluo, so you sent Du Qingwan to Loulan.

If there is anything to blame, it can only be blamed on Du Qingwan for not knowing how to be grateful. Not only did she not contribute to Daye, she also helped Loulan become an enemy of Daye."

Eunuch Qi knew very well that he must not anger the Queen Mother Qiao, so he specifically said things that she would like to hear, but in fact he felt very insecure inside.

Queen Mother Qiao is now filled with regret. The envoys she sent to Loulan to negotiate peace have all returned empty-handed. They did not agree at all to exchange Princess Yunluo for Du Qingwan.

The most important thing is that Du Qingwan herself is unwilling to return to Daye.

"What about the person we sent to assassinate her? There's still no news of him?"

After pondering for a moment, Empress Dowager Qiao sipped a few cups of tea and suddenly looked up at Eunuch Qi with an extremely sharp look.

Hearing this, Eunuch Qi trembled with fear and said in awe:

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Shadow Guard has not succeeded yet.

I heard that Du Qingwan is now a famous person in Loulan. She is loved by the people wherever she goes, so it is difficult to take action against her. "

"How ridiculous! I am so angry! What about the emperor? Has he sent anyone to rescue Du Qingwan recently?"

As soon as Eunuch Qi finished speaking, Empress Dowager Qiao became furious again.

She dropped the teacup heavily and roared angrily.

Then he remembered that Zhu Yunhao had also sent a lot of people to Loulan to try to kidnap Du Qingwan, so he couldn't help but ask.

Nanny Tian happened to go to Qian'an Palace this morning and happened to hear the news about Du Qingwan. She hurried forward and said carefully:

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I went to Qian'an Palace this morning and happened to find out that all the Emperor's shadow guards were assassinated in Loulan. The Emperor was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night."

Queen Mother Qiao could never have imagined that Zhu Yunhao's shadow guards would be wiped out in Loulan.

As far as she knew, in order to bring Du Qingwan back to Daye, Zhu Yunhao sent out no less than a hundred shadow guards, but none of them returned.

This data is truly shocking.

"When did Loulan become so powerful?

They were able to clean up even my family and the emperor's shadow guards, could it be that this was the work of that little bitch Du Qingwan?"

Thinking about this, Empress Dowager Qiao became more and more nervous, and her lungs ached from anger.

Her mind was filled with Du Qingwan's arrogance and domineering attitude, as well as the provocative looks of the Loulan people.

At that moment, Queen Mother Qiao’s brain almost exploded!

"I guess so, Queen Mother. But you don't have to worry too much. We recently invited a Gu master who is said to be able to give people various Gu, which can make the person who is Gu do whatever he says."

Eunuch Qi took small steps forward and said with a smile.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

That malicious face revealed a determination to win.

Upon hearing that the long-lost Gu technique had reappeared, Queen Mother Qiao was stunned, her face full of questions:

"Gu magic?"

"Yes, Queen Mother. As long as we find a way to put the poison into Du Qingwan's food, she will obey us.

By then, let alone asking her to find a way to escape from Loulan, even if she was asked to kill the King of Loulan, she might not fail. "

Eunuch Qi was quite confident about the poison theory.

The Gu Master he found was said to have disappeared for many years.

It was with great difficulty that he learned from someone that the Gu Master was being hunted and became homeless.

Eunuch Qi went through a lot of trouble to find the Gu Master by chance.

"That's great! Hurry up and do it, I can't wait!

If Du Qingwan were to stay in Loulan for another day, I would probably be like the emperor, unable to sleep at night."

The more Empress Dowager Qiao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she urged Eunuch Qi directly.

Her face gradually turned pale to deathly gray, her head ached badly, and some cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Old slave, let's do it now."

Soon, Eunuch Qi left Ren'an Palace and walked out of the palace in a hurry.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Qiao was not feeling well, Nanny Tian came forward, helped her lie down on the couch, and carefully covered her with a quilt.

"Madam Tian, ​​how long have I been under house arrest?"

Just as Nanny Tian was about to turn around and leave the room, Empress Dowager Qiao suddenly opened her eyes and stared at her blankly.

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, it has been more than three months."

Nanny Tian was stunned at first, then she quickly counted on her fingers.

After calculating for a while, she replied tremblingly.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Qiao uttered a light "hmm" and sighed helplessly.

"Three months is a long time. It seems that I should go out and see the sun. I wonder if the weather in Daye has changed."

The strange silence lasted for less than ten seconds. Queen Mother Qiao suddenly gave a helpless smile and muttered to herself.

Nanny Tian had good ears and understood what Empress Dowager Qiao wanted to do, but she didn't dare say a word.

"The weather is nice today. When you wake up later, I will accompany you to the courtyard to bask in the sun."

After a long silence, in order to ease the awkwardness, Nanny Tian smiled awkwardly and pulled the quilt for Empress Dowager Qiao.

Naturally, Nanny Tian did not dare to take Empress Dowager Qiao away from Ren'an Palace without permission.

After all, if Zhu Yunhao knew that Queen Mother Qiao was not under house arrest in Ren'an Palace, many innocent people would be hurt.

"That's all right. I won't trouble you any more."

Empress Dowager Qiao also understood what Nanny Tian meant. She just didn't dare to let her leave Ren'an Palace without permission.

She did not make things difficult for Nanny Tian, ​​but just smiled bitterly and then slowly closed her eyes.

Nanny Tian didn't say anything else. She just lowered her head and slowly walked out of the room, closing the door gently.

"Come out."

Not long after the door was closed, Empress Dowager Qiao suddenly sat up from the bed and prepared to get up and put on her shoes.

Her face was very gloomy and her tone was unusually cold.

In just a few seconds, a man in black suddenly jumped down from the beam and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Qiao.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have prepared everything you ordered and can act at any time."

The man in black bowed his head and clasped his fists to report, his expression extremely serious.

Although his facial features could not be seen clearly under the black veil, it could be seen from his cold voice that his face was full of murderous intent.

Queen Mother Qiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Then proceed according to the plan and quickly notify Prince Changning to return to the palace!"

"I obey the order!"

After the man in black finished speaking, he immediately opened the window and flew out.

Queen Mother Qiao stared at the window intently, the corners of her lips involuntarily raised slightly, and she let out a smile that no one could understand.
