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

"Mother, do you think that if you vote for Prince Anyuan, you will definitely win?"

As expected by Empress Dowager Qiao, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yunhao quickly took over the conversation and expressed his own opinion.

"What does the emperor mean? Doesn't my vote count?"

Queen Mother Qiao was very puzzled and quickly turned her cold eyes to Zhu Yunhao.

The smile gradually froze and instantly became extremely terrifying.

"I dare not! I just think that the Queen is the heir of a country and should share the affairs of state with me."

Zhu Yunhao spoke with a fake smile, glanced at Du Qingwan with ulterior motives, and the corners of his lips twitched subconsciously.

Apparently, he has figured out a new way to win.

"Me? Oh, no, your concubine?"

Du Qingwan couldn't believe it and was stunned.

She pointed at herself, looking confused and at a loss.

[Oh my god! Is this dog emperor Zhu Yunhao crazy?]

[He actually wants me to make an enemy of the Queen Mother? Isn't it obvious that he wants to drag me into the fire pit with him?]

[I want to travel back to the modern era and become a doctor of medical research. I cannot die at the hands of this dog emperor and Queen Mother Qiao!]

Du Qingwan muttered to herself, and her mind began to clear up.

She had to remain rational and refuse to become a pawn of the ancients.

If you can't afford to offend, then hide.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to escape from the palace as soon as possible.

"What does the emperor mean by this? He has completely confused me."

Zhu Yunhao opened his mouth slightly, ready to make his words clearer.

Queen Mother Qiao suddenly interrupted, her expression becoming even uglier.

That very sallow face, covered with an extremely sharp look, had now become extremely frightening.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and don't understand what you just meant. Please explain it clearly. Hehe..."

Noticing that Empress Dowager Qiao was giving her a questioning look that was particularly threatening, Du Qingwan quickly pretended to be vague.

Queen Mother Qiao did not say anything. She pretended to be calm, drank her tea, and thought about her own affairs in her mind.

[Is Du Qingwan really the emperor's man? Will she be afraid of the emperor's prestige and be forced to choose Prince Changning?]

[If that's the case, then my plan is completely ruined.]

[I will never allow that to happen!]

"Mother, Queen, what I mean is that since you, as a woman, can participate in government affairs, please cast a vote for Prince Anyuan.

As the queen of a country, can the queen also vote for Prince Changning?"

What shocked everyone present was that Zhu Yunhao actually wanted Du Qingwan to vote for Prince Changning.

This idea was so bizarre that the whole place went into an uproar.

"That's not impossible. After all, Du Qingwan has an unusual status and should have the right to vote."

Li Yi seemed to have forgotten that he supported King Anyuan, and for the first time in his life, he supported Zhu Yunhao's decision.

Maybe he hasn't realized the crux of the problem yet.

To be more precise, he didn't know that Zhu Yunhao wanted to force Du Qingwan to vote for Prince Changning.

"How can that be possible? The Empress Dowager has been involved in government affairs since the reign of the late Emperor.

Du Qingwan was only a deposed queen, and her title was restored by the Empress Dowager, but the Emperor never acknowledged it."

Although Zhang Xingguo is old, his mind is not confused.

He saw through Zhu Yunhao's little thoughts at a glance and objected with a gloomy face.

In Zhang Xingguo's opinion, Zhu Yunhao's purpose in doing this was to gain control of his own voice in the court.

"No matter what, Du Qingwan is the Queen of Daye!

So what if she can vote for Prince Changning? Maybe she will also vote for Prince Anyuan?"

Li Yi seemed to be enlightened and immediately comforted himself, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

If he had known this would happen, he should not have supported Du Qingwan to vote.

What if Du Qingwan really votes for Prince Changning? Not only will Prince Anyuan hold a grudge against him, but he will also be slapped in the face like a slap in the face.

"That's right. If Du Qingwan votes for Prince Anyuan, the result will be the same. Let's wait and see."

Zhong Shanzhu didn't dare to say a word, and was worried that Du Qingwan would cast the most crucial vote for someone he did not support - King Anyuan.

But in order to avoid misunderstanding by King Anyuan, Zhong Shanzhu pretended to change his position and support him.

"That's not necessarily true. Du Qingwan still likes the emperor.

I heard that it was Du Qingwan who cured the emperor of the poison."

At this moment, Wang Jingyun, who had originally planned to abstain from voting, suddenly spoke up for Du Qingwan.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi immediately followed up with another attack:

"So what? She was the one who cured the Queen Mother of the poison!"

Seeing the ministers discussing very heatedly, Empress Dowager Qiao naturally understood that they were discussing whether Du Qingwan had the right to vote.

She picked up the teacup nonchalantly and took a sip:

"I agree with the emperor's idea. Queen, please vote boldly without any scruples."

Du Qingwan was struggling over who to vote for, and Empress Dowager Qiao's words were like a reassurance to her.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, if I voted in the wrong way, you wouldn't punish me, would you?

After all, I have never been involved in such things..."

Hearing Du Qingwan's words, Zhu Yunhao was startled:

[How dare Du Qingwan disobey my will and choose to side with my mother?]

[It seems that I have to find a way to get the Queen to vote for Prince Changning, otherwise how can I have a reason to send him to the North to die?]

[King Changning will be a nuisance sooner or later if he stays around. We might as well take this opportunity to get rid of him.]

"It's alright. Queen, you can vote as you please. But I want to remind you that you must think it through before voting. Otherwise..."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhu Yunhao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Du Qingwan.

The threatening signal hidden in the slight curve of the lips was not only noticed by Du Qingwan, but also quickly caught by Empress Dowager Qiao.

"What else? Could it be that the Emperor wants to force the Queen to vote for Prince Changning?"

Queen Mother Qiao was not at all vague and spoke in a crisp and clear voice.

Zhu Yunhao's little thoughts could indeed not be hidden from her.

If you want to threaten or intimidate Du Qingwan right under her nose, you have to ask her first if she agrees!

"I dare not! Mother, please do not accuse me of this!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Zhu Yunhao didn't dare to say anything more.

He quickly turned his face away and pretended to be calm while drinking his tea, but in fact he was extremely upset and his nerves were on edge.

"In that case, shall I start voting?"

Du Qingwan didn't want to waste time, nor did she want to get involved in this war, so she asked timidly.

"cast."

Zhu Yunhao pretended to smile and didn't even look at Du Qingwan.

He had already guessed the result---

Du Qingwan will definitely vote for King Anyuan.

After all, Empress Dowager Qiao has always protected Du Qingwan. Even when Princess Yunluo accidentally fell into the water and personally accused Du Qingwan of pushing her, Empress Dowager Qiao was able to save Du Qingwan's life.

What does it mean to cast a vote?

[Humph! You two are so mean. You actually want to force me to offend the other party. Dream on!]

[Am I, Du Qingwan, a soft persimmon? How can I be so easily controlled?]

"Then I choose to abstain from voting. Haha..."

Du Qingwan didn't know where this crazy idea came from.

After complaining a few words in her heart, she actually chose to abstain from voting.

In this way, she not only did not offend Queen Mother Qiao, but also did not offend Zhu Yunhao.

That's the best of both worlds. She doesn't know whether others are happy or not.

But she always praised herself for being smart in her heart.
