Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chu Qianyu heard her words as if she had heard a joke. She looked at her coldly and said, "What do you think I need to investigate about the Fourth Elder?"

"Or do you know something about the Fourth Elder that I don't know?"

"I...I know that the Fourth Elder may have something to do with the death of your family."

Chu Qianyu became slightly interested when she heard this, and her eyes brightened a little, but her tone remained the same: "How did you know that?"

"I...I went to see the Fourth Elder once and heard what he and his men said. If you kill me now, it will definitely alert the enemy. It's better for you to spare my life. Sister Yue, don't worry, I will work for you wholeheartedly in the future. Find out what the Fourth Elder did before..."

"Loyal? Do you think I will trust you again after you betrayed me once? Besides, what if you alert the enemy? He is the one you should be afraid of now." Chu Qianyu said indifferently.

Ming Zixi's heart sank when she heard this. She quickly searched in her mind for a way to get her to forgive her.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly said, "Sister Yue, there is also the Queen. I have also cooperated with the Queen. I am sure it will be useful in the future."

"What did you collaborate on with the Queen?"

"Originally, the Queen was my escape route. I thought that if the Fourth Elder broke his promise, I would ask the Queen to intercede with the Emperor so that my mother and I could return to the Situ Mansion. However, we have only been working together for a short time. But I recently discovered that the Queen seems to be particularly concerned about General Chu's wife. Occasionally, I can feel that she seems to be jealous. If we can get hold of the Queen's handle, maybe we can get her to do things for us."

After Ming Zixi said this, she looked at her earnestly, hoping that she could be softer or less ruthless.

Unfortunately, she overthought it.

Chu Qianyu was indeed a little surprised to hear this. She never expected that the queen would be jealous of her mother. She also remembered that her mother once said that she, the queen and the emperor grew up together.

At the Qianqiu Banquet, the Emperor and the Empress showed special concern for my mother, but one thing seemed wrong.

It was as if the queen always wanted her father to remarry, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not want him to love only her mother.

It seems that I need to think about this matter carefully after I return.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianyu looked down at Ming Zixi, took a step forward, looked cold, and said in a tone without any warmth: "You poisoned me twice! How can I let you go?"

Then he stood up and said to Mei Li behind him: "Take her back to Xuan Yue Gate and lock her up in the water dungeon at the bottom."

"Xuan Yue Gate? Where is that?" Ming Zixi was a little confused. Although Situ Yue had a good relationship with her and they got along very closely on weekdays, she had never told her where the Xuan Yue Gate was.

Why did it feel so familiar? Before she could think about it, Meili had already stepped forward and picked her up.

After Mei Li and her people left, Chu Qianyu immediately headed towards Chu Jun. She wanted to see what the Queen would do when she knew her father came to Qingchuan Peak.

By the time she caught up, it was already midnight.

Chu Jun and others had already wiped out the bandits, and even brought a few spies from the Beichuan Kingdom.

Following the marks, I found Leng Qingzhou, who was lying on a tree, looking at the stars leisurely.

When he heard someone coming, he said without even turning his head: "Xiao Yueyue, I am really dying because of you."

"Fortunately, I had already sent people to look for any traces of the bandits in this area. Fortunately, there happened to be a group of unlucky bandits nearby. This is considered to be the successful completion of your instructions. Your father will go back tomorrow." After saying this, he seemed to feel a little relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he remembered something, jumped down, walked to Chu Qianyu and asked, "How are you doing?"

Chu Qianyu waved her hand and sat on the ground and said, "If Mo Yinan hadn't shown up halfway, my plan might have been perfect. But the impact is not big, everything has been dealt with. I asked Mo Yinan to take those people from Beichuan away, and I will go find him later."

"Hey? Mo Yinan? Why is he everywhere? So annoying."

Leng Qingzhou felt uncomfortable when he heard this name now, and his brows were furrowed with disgust.

Chu Qianyu thought of the Queen, so she turned her head and looked at Leng Qingzhou beside her and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey? Did any other accidents happen?"

When Leng Qingzhou heard this, he suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost forgot about this. Let me tell you."

"If I hadn't known that the three of you had completed the original owner's request, I might not have cared about this. I just ran into a woman on the way back. She said that a thief was chasing her. Later, your father shot and wounded him. When he was about to question him, the man saw a group of people here and quickly ran away."

"But who would have thought that the girl actually wanted to marry your father. The deputy generals nearby came forward to make a fuss. They said that your father only had your mother in the mansion now, so it would be better to marry the girl. At least it would give the orphan girl a chance to survive."

When Chu Qianyu heard this, she remembered what Ming Zixi had just said, and she concluded that this woman must have been sent by the Queen.

But she believed her father, so she asked, "Father must have refused, right? What happened to the girl later?"

When Leng Qingzhou heard this, he thought of those people's hateful faces and said angrily, "Although your father refused, he couldn't resist those people's persuasion. In the end, he had no choice but to agree. I guess he plans to find a chance to deal with it after returning to the city."

"But I know that you have been worrying about your father and mother's feelings. So I might as well take advantage of the convenience of that woman being alone and deal with her!" When Leng Qingzhou said this, his expression did not change at all, as if it was just a matter of convenience and not worth mentioning.

Chu Qianyu nodded after hearing this and did not think that he did anything wrong. She raised her hand, patted him on the back and said, "Thank you very much."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Oh, by the way, how are you going to deal with Ming Zixi? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to live with someone else's identity now. She hurt you so badly, you can't let her off so easily. If I said so, I would definitely give her a more powerful poison, and then skin her alive to relieve my hatred."

"Okay." Chu Qianyu responded softly, then leaned against the tree behind her.

The two of them sat there quietly. She closed her eyes slightly, thinking about what had happened in the past few days and how to deal with it in the future.

Seeing this, Leng Qingzhou did not disturb her. He also leaned against the tree trunk and took a nap.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky was already starting to turn slightly white.

Chu Qianyu then slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, stretched her body a little, and stood up. Leng Qingzhou also opened his eyes when he heard the voice and asked a little confusedly: "Where are you going next?"

"I'll go back first. I've been out for a few days, and the wedding is approaching. I'm afraid my mother will find out something's wrong. Probably tomorrow. Tomorrow night I'll go to Xuanyue Gate to find you. Go back and have a good rest. You've worked hard this time."

When Leng Qingzhou heard the wedding date, he pouted, full of displeasure, and snorted, "Wedding date! Humph. Okay, okay, you should go back soon." After saying that, he turned his head, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Chu Qianyu patted his shoulder and then turned and left.
