The dim back

Seeing that the Queen Mother believed in Lin Xuefeng so much, Liu Zhongqing was a little angry: "Don't you think this matter makes me embarrassed?"

The Queen Mother disagreed: "You can still be your Protector of the Kingdom, and I will still be my Queen Mother. We will not conflict with each other."

Liu Zhongqing stated a fact: "The emperor seems to have realized that Xiaoyu's death was related to you. I wonder if you know about this matter?"

The Queen Mother turned her mouth to one side and said, "What should I be afraid of a young boy who is still wet behind the ears? After all, he was born and raised by me. I didn't expect that he and your mother have a better personal relationship."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu suddenly had an idea: "Since the Queen Mother has already suspected something, there must be something wrong. I wonder if the Queen Mother can explain it clearly so that we can understand what happened."

Hearing Zhang Yulu's words, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "I have my own ideas about what I say and do. Don't try to find out what I mean."

The Queen Mother sighed: "In fact, Xiaoyu died for the eldest princess because he discovered a scandal about the eldest princess."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu thought it would be better to ask for clarification: "Then could the Queen Mother tell us clearly what the Princess did wrong?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Since you asked, I will tell you everything."

Liu Zhongqing also widened his eyes: "I want to hear what exactly did mother do wrong? Why is she in contact with Xiaoyu?"

The Queen Mother coughed and said, "The person Xiaoyu once loved was your father. I kept Xiaoyu by my side as my personal maid just to look after the princess. In fact, I have always regarded the princess as my own flesh and blood."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu sighed: "So that's how it is. Why can't we just be nice to the princess openly?"

The Queen Mother had no choice but to speak from the bottom of her heart: "The Princess has always been alienated from me. At first, she thought it was me who deliberately separated the Emperor and Xiaoyu. In fact, Xiaoyu wanted to be a prince with the Emperor while interacting with the Liu family. She was planning to have the best of both worlds."

Zhang Yulu couldn't help but sigh: "You are a really strange person. You have said everything you need to say. So, you have also sent someone to lurk around the princess. If I am not mistaken, this person should be Qiu Feng."

The Queen Mother sighed: "You are indeed a kind-hearted person. It is true that I took advantage of Qiu Feng in this matter, so Qiu Feng should know something about Xiao Yu now."

Liu Zhongqing finally understood why the princess was always angry. She had never liked Qiu Feng, and this was the reason.

The Queen Mother said to Liu Zhongqing: "It's only because your mother is prejudiced against me that you think I don't like you very much. In fact, I love you very much because you are a talented child after all."

Seeing the Queen Mother's sincerity, Zhang Yulu nodded and said, "You are indeed judging others by your own standards. But why did the Queen Mother want to kill Xiaoyu?"

When mentioning Xiaoyu, the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be blazing with fire: "It really makes me a little unbelievable. Xiaoyu, this lowly creature, actually did such a terrible thing to me."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu seemed to have known something: "Did Xiaoyu threaten you? What is the secret?"

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "You don't need to know about this matter. You only need to know one thing. I have been thinking about you from the beginning to the end. Xiaoyu actually used Lin Xuefeng's matter to make the emperor take him as his concubine."

There were some complicated expressions in the Queen Mother's eyes, and Zhang Yulu saw it all.

Zhang Yulu asked tentatively: "What on earth is going on?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "I know this much. Don't ask me about other things. I have something to say to Liu Zhongqing alone. You guys go down first."

The palace maid beside her retreated first and Zhang Yulu had to follow behind.

Before leaving, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to say to the palace maid: "Don't you think the Queen Mother is very strange?"

These palace maids kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything, as if they would be beheaded if they spoke. Zhang Yulu realized that this matter was not simple.

After watching everyone leave, Liu Zhongqing respectfully asked the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, what exactly do you want to do? Can you tell me?"

The Queen Mother had no choice but to tell him everything: "Actually, Zhang Yulu was here just now, so there are some things I can't tell you. Xiaoyu got a secret. It's that this Zhang Yulu in front of you, his father seems to be related to your father's incident back then."

Liu Zhongqing recalled: "When my father asked me to propose marriage, he only said that they had a personal relationship. He didn't tell me anything else. So what was there that I didn't know?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother had an idea in her mind: "You may not believe what I said, but your father did have some conflicts with Liu Zhongqing's father in his early years, because Zhang Yulu's father has evidence of your father's crimes."

Liu Zhongqing suddenly remembered: "Everyone said that Yiren Villa had some unspeakable secrets. Could it be that my father approached Zhang Yulu's father at that time? Just to check those things."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "What you said is all correct. I won't say anything else. You have to be careful of Zhang Yulu. After all, she is Zhang Shaofeng's daughter."

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Liu Zhongqing naturally became alert in his heart: "So, we have to go to Yiren Villa to see what happened in Yiren Villa and what evidence we have?"

The Queen Mother remembered something: "Zhang Yulu's father, because of his carelessness, once made a deal with Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu wanted to get these evidences from him and use them to threaten the princess and achieve their goal."

Liu Zhongqing had never thought that his mother was also involved: "According to what you said, my mother didn't marry my father because she loved him, so why is he so loving to my father now?"

The Queen Mother actually laughed out loud because of Liu Zhongqing's words: "You look so young, you don't understand what I'm saying. It really makes me so angry."

The Queen Mother naturally had her own thoughts: "I won't say anything unnecessary. No matter what happens in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you. Xiaoyu deserves to die. He actually wanted to use Lin Xuefeng."

When Lin Xuefeng was mentioned, the Queen Mother was obviously a little angry.

Liu Zhongqing asked casually, "Liu Zhongqing is a playboy. Could it be that he has a relationship with this Xiaoyu?"
