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

"Your Majesty! ... Protect Him!"

"Du Zhirou, release the emperor first. I will agree to whatever you ask for!"

Worried that Du Qingwan might accidentally stab Zhu Yunhao to death due to her shaking hands, Eunuch Liu quickly made a solemn promise with full sincerity.

Zhu Yunhao heard the voice and reacted quickly, and quickly echoed: "Yes..."

But this "yes" sounded extremely weak, with fear and anxiety in the trembling.

Du Qingwan has always been accustomed to quitting when she is ahead, and she is too lazy to waste time with such stupid ancient people.

The most important thing at the moment is to escape.

"You can ask me to let him go, unless..."

Du Qingwan moved the dagger away a little, but did not loosen her hand that was tightly holding Zhu Yunhao's collar, pretending to keep the secret.

Wherever the corner of his eyes reached, there was chill and murderous intent.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill and a piercing feeling.

"Unless what? Du Zhirou, I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"

Seeing that Du Qingwan was calm and not panicked, Eunuch Liu became furious and couldn't help but "remind" her.

[How dare this damn Du Zhirou negotiate terms with me!]

Zhu Yunhao muttered to himself in his heart, waves of shame stinging every nerve, and his murderous intent grew stronger.

"Unless you let Du Zhirou in right now, I want to confront her face to face and clear my name!"

Du Qingwan didn't know where she got the courage from, she actually roared loudly in front of Zhu Yunhao, and her attitude was very firm.

"Boom---"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the window and struck Zhu Yunhao's feet, scaring the guards in the room so much that they screamed and ran away.

The weather was not good, and there was still a strong wind, rain and snow outside.

In the dark night sky, flashes of lightning streaked across the sky.

This night... is destined to be unpeaceful.

At this time, the doors and windows of Qian'an Palace were rattling in the evil wind, and the books in the house were blown away by the wind, making a mess on the ground.

Although Zhu Yunhao usually has a bad temper and likes to kill people, he naturally hates thunderstorms.

Most likely it's because they've done too many bad things and they feel guilty and afraid of being struck by lightning.

"what---"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunhao covered his heart in pain and let out a scream that pierced the darkness. His face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.

There are five thunders above your head and you are in danger of being struck by lightning at any time.

It would be a miracle if Joo Yun-ho could remain calm.

“Your Majesty!…Alas!”

Eunuch Liu originally wanted to agree to Du Qingwan's conditions on his own initiative, but then he became worried that Zhu Yunhao would punish him, so he gave up and let out a long sigh.

Zhu Yunhao knew that Du Qingwan was not joking---

She would really go all out and kill him right away.

So, he coughed lightly and pretended to be calm:

"Du Zhirou, I promise you! Someone, call Du Qingwan into the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Summon Du Qingwan to the palace!"

Soon, Du Zhirou was thrown to the ground by two guards.

Seeing Du Qingwan holding a dagger and preparing to assassinate the emperor, Du Zhirou's legs instantly went weak and her nerves were extremely tense.

She never dreamed that Du Qingwan, a poor daughter, would dare to assassinate the emperor in the palace.

That is a serious crime punishable by the execution of the entire family and the extermination of nine generations of the clan!

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Please forgive my sister. She was just jealous, so she committed such a heinous crime..."

Du Zhirou originally planned to go to the palace and play the role of the thief crying "stop thief" and put the blame on her elder sister.

But the scene before her instantly made her confused.

I have long forgotten what my parents told me.

Saving her life and the entire general's mansion is the only wise thing for her to do now.

[Du Qingwan, this damn little bitch, actually dared to assassinate the emperor openly!

She probably wants the entire General's Mansion to be buried with her! ]

Du Zhirou was so angry that her teeth ached. She slammed her head directly on the cold and wet floor, looking extremely terrified.

She was so confused that her mind went blank involuntarily.

This game is tantamount to shooting itself in the foot.

She couldn't break it at all.

"Jealous? Is that all? You, the Du family, are marrying someone else's daughter, which is an insult to the emperor's majesty. This is a capital crime!

Come here, drag them all away and behead them!"

Eunuch Liu had long been unhappy with the two sisters of the Du family, and had been thinking about executing them as soon as possible to avoid the emperor's wrath.

He didn't want to waste time listening to the two of them quibbling.

"No, no, Your Majesty, please spare my life! Zhirou knows she is wrong, and Zhirou will be exchanged with her sister.

Please forgive our Du family, forgive Zhirou, she is also innocent..."

Du Zhirou is well aware that the current situation is urgent and the most important thing is to work hard to save the Du family.

If the Du family met with a tragic end with all the members executed, then Du Zhirou would have no way to survive either.

But Du Qingwan disagreed and sneered.

Seeing that Du Zhirou was lying with her eyes open and trying hard to protest her innocence, Du Qingwan could no longer pretend to be calm.

"Du Zhirou, tell him who the real Du Qingwan is!

If you dare to say a single word, don't blame me for being blind!"

Du Qingwan quickly pointed the dagger at Du Zhirou, her face full of threats and murderous intent.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao became even more certain that Du Qingwan was threatening Du Zhirou, and he instantly understood what was going on.

"How dare you, Du Zhirou! How dare you threaten the Queen! You don't want to live anymore! Someone come here..."

Eunuch Liu conceded that the person who came to complain was the real Du Qingwan, the true Queen of Daye.

Being loyal and protecting his master is his duty.

The Emperor and Empress were held hostage by thieves, and if Eunuch Liu didn't behave well, he would be unworthy of his status as a eunuch in front of the emperor.

"Haha... Queen? Open your eyes and take a good look at this little bitch in front of you. Is she willing to be your queen?"

As Du Qingwan was talking, she suddenly pushed Zhu Yunhao away, leaned over and quickly grabbed Du Zhirou's throat, as if she wanted her to be buried with her.

He glanced coldly at all the people in the room, who were staring at him with their weapons pointed at him, and sneered:

"She knew that the emperor had specifically asked for her, but she lied about her name and asked the emperor to marry me!"

"The saddest thing is that not only was I forced to marry in stead, but she even went to the trouble to wait outside the palace and expose me herself!"

"You dogs are blind, Your Majesty, are you blind too?"

After saying this, Du Qingwan quietly tightened her grip on Du Zhirou's hand, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Du Zhirou almost couldn't breathe, and her little face had already turned red, several shades less fair than before.

His facial expression was distorted, his Adam's apple was spasming uncontrollably, and even rolling seemed extremely difficult.

"How dare you deliberately humiliate the emperor!"

Eunuch Liu pointed his whisk at Du Qingwan, his sunken pupils emitting bursts of anger, and one could vaguely detect a hint of murderous intent.

"Humiliating the emperor is a capital crime!"

Eunuch Liu made another powerful move, and his determination to cut Du Qingwan into pieces was unquestionable.

"Death penalty? I, Du Qingwan, will not change my name or surname. The marriage certificate names me as the Queen of Daye. What crime have I committed?"

Du Qingwan argued with reason and looked fearless, but she began to feel a little uneasy.

According to what she said, she was admitting that she was willing to be the queen of this tyrant.

But she was obviously just forced to marry!

Now, in order to save her life, she had to make the best of a bad situation and try to turn the situation around.

He pressed the dagger against Du Zhirou's neck and said in a deep voice with gritted teeth:

"Du Zhirou, my dear sister, how do you explain now? Speak!"

[Du Zhirou, what you and your daughter owe the original owner, I, Du Qingwan, must get it back for her!]

Du Qingwan secretly swore to herself, determined to repay the original owner for lending her this body.

Little did they know that Du Zhirou not only did not intend to tell the truth, but also had evil thoughts and turned right into wrong...
