The queen's heart is unpredictable

Zhang Xiaohua, who was going to sleep, suddenly widened her eyes and raised her neck, "W-why?"

"Then if you encounter the same thing in the future, you will be killed with one stab, and you don't need to spend so much effort stabbing so many knives." Duanmu Yu smiled, "It's better to kill people in a more attractive way."

Who are these people, what are they talking about!

"No more!" Zhang Xiaohua puffed her cheeks, "I will never kill anyone again in my life!"

"I'm afraid that you will encounter the same danger again without me..." Duanmu Yu's eyes flashed helplessly, "You love to run around so much, maybe in the future you will—"

"Then I won't run around anymore." Zhang Xiaohua put her arms around Duanmu Yu, and whispered coquettishly, "I'll make you a waist pendant from now on, and hang it on your waist every day, okay?" Looking at Duanmu Yu , Zhang Xiaohua coquettishly said, "Don't let me learn how to kill people, it's so scary."

"Then you have to tie it firmly." Duanmu Yu smiled wryly, "Don't let it fall off."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Xiaohua nodded sharply, and said while tightening her arms, "I will always tie you up, every day."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu couldn't help showing a satisfied smile, but after laughing, Duanmu Yu said seriously, "Even if you don't want to learn how to kill people, you should learn how to save your life."

"Didn't you teach me then?" Zhang Xiaohua pouted, "Just let me hold you."

……

Duanmu Yu choked, she stretched out her hand helplessly to scratch the bridge of Zhang Xiaohua's nose and said, "But I never thought you were a fool who would cause trouble."

"I don't want it, I don't want to learn it." Zhang Xiaohua acted coquettishly with all her strength, she arched in Duanmu Yu's arms like a kitten, "Miss sister, you are so good, don't let me learn... "

"Not murderous, not bloody."

"Then I don't want it either, well..."

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Duanmuyu couldn't help stretching out his hand, poked Zhang Xiaohua's forehead and said, "Is it because you're lazy, so you didn't even listen to what it was, so you just refused? Huh?"

Huh?Got guessed?

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, leaned on Duanmu Yu's chest pretending not to hear, and said, "Wuuuu, I'm so tired today, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep."

Sleep quickly, sleep quickly, after falling asleep, Duanmu Yu will not remember these things tomorrow morning.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about 21, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Duanmu Yu smiled wryly, looked at the person in his arms, and rubbed Zhang Xiaohua's soft back helplessly.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaohua had a dream. In the dream, she was chased by a man with blood all over her face, and said that she would pay her life and drag her to hell with her.She was trembling with fright, screaming, and running wildly...

Holding Zhang Xiaohua who was frightened and crying in the dream, Duanmu Yu sighed helplessly, "You are so scared, so don't help that villain. Look at you, you scared yourself." After that, Duanmu Yu Gently patted Zhang Xiaohua's back, and said softly, "You're so stupid, how can you make people feel at ease?"

Sighing, Duanmu Yu let go of her hand, and after helping the sleeping Zhang Xiaohua tuck in the quilt, she put on her clothes and walked out of the tent.

Quietly entering the tent next to it, Duanmu Yu lazily kicked the bed, "Wake up when you wake up, don't pretend to be asleep."

Gao Ling opened his eyes, a pair of shrewd and bright pupils instantly became gentle and calm after meeting Duan Muyu's gaze.

Duanmu Yu watched and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you still want to act? It's been two years since you acted. You are not tired, but I am tired watching it."

Hearing this, Gao Ling's eyes flashed with astonishment, but then he said calmly, "What is the monarch talking about? I don't really understand."

"Whether you understand or not, you know for yourself." Picking up the dagger he took out from Gao Ling, Duanmu Yu scraped the tip of the dagger with his fingertips, and it was quite sharp.She hooked the corners of her lips and showed a weird smile, "Gao Ling, you are quite cruel to yourself, too

The doctor said, if the dagger sinks an inch further, you will not be able to save it. "

Hearing this, Gao Ling's face, which had become extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, became even uglier now.

Duanmu Yu raised his eyelids lazily, and looked at Gao Ling coldly, "Don't think that if you cover up the arrow wound with a dagger, I don't know that you are playing tricks. As long as you use your tricks, you can just deceive yourself and others, but if you want to be honest Who do you think you can fool. Are you overestimating yourself, or underestimating me?"

Hearing this, Gao Ling lay slumped on the bed, but then he realized something, looked at Duanmu Yu with some vigilance, and said, "You...why are you telling me these things?"

"I'm looking for you... no, I'm looking for that old guy Dong Haining to make a deal." Duanmu Yu said with a slight smile, "As for you... firstly, I need you to deliver the message for me, and secondly, because I installed you in the harem, so Dong Haining hasn't done anything out of the ordinary in the past two years, which can be regarded as giving me a chance to recuperate, and naturally I won't kill you."

"Bah! Tyrant, our leader and you have nothing to talk about, now you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

"Why did you become so impulsive all of a sudden?" Duanmu Yu cast a disdainful glance at Gao Ling, "You don't hesitate to die, do you still want other people to accompany you to die? Dong Haining for so many years is nothing more than wanting to restore the country , but her Wulan royal family is dead, how will she restore the country? And the person who killed her Wulan is my father, if she is happy, she will go to dig my father's tomb, what is wrong with me?"

"I... the leader of the guild is not here to restore the country at all, she is just helping justice and choosing a wise king for... for the common people in this world!"

"A group of people can't eat by themselves, so how come they still have time to take care of common people's affairs?" Duanmu Yu laughed, "Everyone went to the Hall of Yama, because King Yama has so much food?"

"You..." Gao Ling's pale face turned an unnatural blush at this moment, he stared at Duanmu Yu without concealment and said, "A tyrant like you doesn't understand us at all! We... Pfft!"

Gao Ling was so angry that he spit out a big mouthful of blood, which stained the mattress, clothes and the ground.

Duanmuyu was a little disgusted, but she was quite happy watching Gao Ling vomit blood. Leaning against the table next to her, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, "Gao Ling, I think you've been in the harem for so long. You are a smart man. You turned out to be so stupid. Have you ever thought that if you kill me, the next emperor must be better than me? Besides, there must be rectification when the emperor changes. It’s hard to stabilize now, if you change the emperor again, do you really think that the people of the world will benefit from it?”

"Endure the suffering for a while, and exchange for a lifetime of peace. You tyrant—"

"Tyrant? If I'm really a tyrant, do you think that group of people from your Four Seas Gang can survive outside for such a long time?" Duanmu Yu sneered, "Don't think I don't know your Four Seas Gang's stronghold in Kyoto, North River Casino? Huh? Yue Ning Tea House? Huh? I'm just too lazy to care about it, as if I knew what you were planning from the beginning but still kept you until now!"

Duanmu Yu looked at Gao Ling coldly and said, "Don't take my patience as stupid, that only shows that you are stupid."

As he said that, Duan Muyu picked up the dagger beside him and threw it casually, "Gao Ling, I will give you a way out. As long as Dong Haining is willing to help me, your Four Seas Gang will never be my enemy from now on, and I can let the past go—"

"Impossible! All of us have blood feud with you! We don't need your mercy!"

"Blood feud?"

"Have you forgotten? Four years ago, you had someone slaughter An Ning Village! You also had people burn down Yu Ning Town! And—"

"Four years ago?" Duanmu Yu frowned, but then laughed, "Gao Ling, who told you that I did all these things?"

Hearing this, Gao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he said with certainty, "At that time, someone escaped, they said, those officers and soldiers did it, and clearly stated that under your order—"

"You can believe this, no wonder you members of the Four Seas Gang are in such a state of desperation." Duan Muyu sneered, "Don't that old Dong Haining think that I did all those things..."

"Helper

...but...it didn't say anything..."

"Heh!" Duanmu Yu couldn't help but sneered, "A bunch of brainless people!"

"you!"

"After you go back, you can ask her yourself." Duanmu Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense, "Tomorrow, you pack up your things and disappear, so you don't have to go back to the palace with me."

After all, when Duanmu Yu turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, paused, and added, "If you refuse to leave and insist on staying here and fighting with me, then I can only reward you with death When the time comes, go to the Palace of the King of Hades, remember to ask the King of Hades carefully, who did those things before, don’t die and be played as a pawn.”

Hearing this, Gao Ling's face was filled with pain.He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes suddenly became cloudy...

In the middle of the night, Duanmu Yu was walking back, when he suddenly couldn't help but sneered.

Slowly walked around the guards, walked to a corner where no one was there, and after dark, Duanmu Yu blew a whistle.

Immediately, a purple shadow jumped to Duanmu Yu's side.

"Look up what happened in Anning Village and Yuning Town four years ago." Duanmu Yu stared at the cold moon, licking his teeth with a half-smile, "Also... Gaoling's affairs were not handled very cleanly. Go and clean it up right away, don't leave any trouble behind."

"Yes!"

The night was cool, and Duanmu Yu returned to the tent in the darkness.

She took off her coat, rubbed her hands together to warm herself up, and then got into bed.

The sleeping Zhang Xiaohua shrank back, her smooth eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and immediately after Duanmu Yu lay down, she burrowed into Duanmu Yu's soft embrace.

Duanmu Yu couldn't help laughing: This idiot, he's not so stupid at this time.

The next day, Duanmu Yu ordered everyone to return to the palace immediately.

Zhang Xiaohua was packing up her things when Qi Yao suddenly paid a visit.Zhang Xiaohua originally thought that Qi Yao came to see Duanmu Yu's injury, but Qi Yao came aggressively, and it seemed a little different.

"Monarch!" Qi Yao stepped forward, bowed directly, and then said with a straight face, "Although all the assassins were beheaded yesterday, there seems to be something strange about it."

"Oh?" Duanmu Yu lazily raised his eyelids and looked at Qi Yao, "The queen is so free, she doesn't pack up her things and go back to the palace, but she has to worry about these things."

Qi Yao nodded and nodded, "I am very worried about the assassination of the monarch."

"Heh..." Duanmu Yu sneered, but didn't point it out, just raised his eyes to Qi Yao and said, "Then tell me, what's wrong."

Qi Yao opened his mouth, intending to say something, but stopped suddenly when he saw Zhang Xiaohua.

Duanmu Yu followed Qi Yao's gaze, looked back at Zhang Xiaohua, and then laughed, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and go back if you don't!"

Hearing this, Qi Yao's face was a little embarrassed, and he immediately winked at the little eunuch beside him.Then the little eunuch respectfully handed something in front of Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua glanced at it, and suddenly felt cold.

"I heard that the bandits entered the hunting ground from the cliff yesterday, so I took people there to check it out today, and found this copper plate tied with a red string. I thought it was strange, so I brought it back." , Qi Yao pointedly looked at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua's face was pale, and she couldn't help but fell back a little weakly.

The so-called copper plate tied with a red string was the convergence that Duanmu Yu gave her a few days ago, and it should have accidentally dropped when she was entangled with Gao Ling yesterday.

Zhang Xiaohua bit her lip, and looked at Duanmu Yu in fear.I saw Duanmu Yupan fiddle with the copper plate, silent for a long time.

She should, should have guessed something.

Zhang Xiaohua was nervous for a while, and was hesitating whether to explain everything to Duanmu Yu directly, but she heard Duanmu Yu chuckled, "Is it true that the queen has been in the palace for too long, so she feels that a copper coin is very important?" It's strange. If you catch this thing among the people, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you say it's strange?"

how she...

...

How could this be?

Duanmu Yu didn't even question himself directly!

After Qi Yao heard this, although he frowned, he still patiently said, "Maybe the monarch doesn't know, but I have seen this item worn by the monarch's personal maid, and I feel—"

"Why does the empress care so much about the lonely maid?" Duan Muyu directly interrupted Qi Yao, and then threw out the copper plate in his hand.

Qi Yao's face changed slightly, but he still respectfully said, "The main thing is that the encounter between Concubine Gao Jun and the maid last night was too strange. I really doubt that this matter is not simple!"

"Are you the Shaoqing of Dali Temple? If you know how to investigate cases like this, don't stay in the palace later, I will arrange an errand for you in Dali Temple." Duanmu Yu looked too lazy to talk to Qi Yao.

And what she said made Qi Yao feel embarrassed.

But immediately, a deep and old voice came from outside the tent, "Weichen Lang Zhenshan begs to see you!"

Immediately afterwards, "My minister Qi Yongzhuo begs to see me!"

"My humble minister, Lu Baining, begs to see me!"

"Wei Chen..."

……

Duanmu Yu frowned, and immediately sneered, "It seems that the queen has met many people before reporting to He Gu."

"I dared to report this matter to the monarch after discussing it with my father." Qi Yao said respectfully, "Father also felt that something happened yesterday, so he called all the ministers."

"That's good." Duanmu Yu smiled, "Then I won't have to send someone to find you one by one."

After all, Duanmu Yu whistled.

Immediately, Deng Li and Zibat entered the tent together.

"Tell me, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate yesterday." Duanmu Yu asked unhurriedly as he sat there.

Qi Yao frowned in surprise, then looked at Deng Li and Ziba beside him.

Deng Li made a salute, hoarse voice, and said respectfully, "Yesterday, the slave was ordered by the monarch to check the information of that guard, and found that this person's list had been tampered with, and this person had been in the army many times before. The news is very suspicious."

"I was ordered to check the address of this person recorded in the directory, and caught a suspicious person. This person has already confessed, admitting that the guard is a secret agent placed in the army by the Four Seas Gang." Said, Purple Bat He handed a blood book to Duanmu Yu, "This is the confession that I asked the thief to write down."

Duanmu Yu took it, but didn't look at it, just looked at Qi Yao and said, "Don't always think that you are smart, this is strange and that is also strange, after all, you have to find out the facts before you make trouble. Look... what Calling these old officials into this forest without finding out clearly, tossing their old bones like this, you really don't have any sympathy for them."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu chuckled lightly at the group of people outside, "Since you ministers have come to the hunting ground, why don't you come here for nothing, and run around with me alone, how about it?"

……

There was a sudden silence outside the tent.

Not long after, the vicissitudes of life sounded again, "I am old, I am afraid that if I look back and sweep the monarch's elegance, I won't—"

"If you don't play, hurry up and leave!" Duanmu Yu sneered and picked up the cup next to him and threw it out, "You guys have ruined your sense of humor!"

After the voice fell, there was a rustle outside the tent.After a while, it was quiet outside.

"Your good father has already left, why don't you hurry up?" Duanmu Yu glanced at Qi Yao.

Qi Yao gritted his teeth, then made a silent salute, and then backed out.

Afterwards, Deng Li and Zibat also left one after another.Only Duanmu Yu and Zhang Xiaohua were left in the tent...

"I...I thought...I wanted to tell you yesterday." After Zhang Xiaohua pinched the hem of her clothes for a while, she rushed to Duanmu Yu's side and knelt down.

With red eyes, she looked up at Duanmu Yu.But what surprised her was that Duanmu Yu didn't show a look of anger, but was as usual...gentle.

This made Zhang Xiaohua even more guilty.

She anxiously held Duanmu Yu's cold fingertips and said, "Miss sister, I really don't...no..."

"I know." Duanmu Yu nodded, then helped Zhang Xiaohua up with a smile, and said, "I know you didn't want to hurt me."

Duanmuyu's trust came so directly, but Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's silly look, Duanmuyu smiled slightly, "Don't I know what you can hold in your little head? I know Gao Ling forced you to do that, and I know you don't want to hurt me. knew……"

Hearing Duanmuyu's patient comfort, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes turned red, and she burst into tears with a "wow".

At this time, if Duanmu Yu blamed him more, Zhang Xiaohua would not be so sad.But it was her understanding and tolerance that made Zhang Xiaohua feel stupid and stupid...

"I'm sorry." Zhang Xiaohua choked up and hugged Duanmu Yu, "I...I caused you trouble."

"It's not you who caused trouble for me." Duanmu Yu patted Zhang Xiaohua's head, "It's me...it's me who caused trouble for you."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu with tears in her eyes, a little confused.

"You don't have to get involved in these disputes, but it's because I'm in this position." Duanmu Yu suddenly smiled, and that beautiful smile made Zhang Xiaohua feel dazed for a while.

She was lamenting Duanmu Yu's stunning beauty, but she heard Duanmu Yu say, "Xiao Hua, let me send you out of the palace."

……

"Why...why..." Zhang Xiaohua's tears that had already stopped suddenly rolled out again, "You are...you don't want me again?"

Yes, why not.

But the harem is so complicated, Duanmu Yu really doesn't want to see Zhang Xiaohua forced to get involved in these disputes.

"I want you to live a safe life." Duanmu Yu wiped away the tears on Zhang Xiaohua's face, "The palace is complicated, and Gao Ling's actions are the root of disaster, Qi Yao and the others will not stop there, and your life will be implicated in the end. "

That day she brought Gao Ling back to the palace, on the one hand, it was to give Dong Haining an illusion to appease the Four Seas Gang, on the other hand, she was so friendly to Gao Ling, because she wanted to let Gao Ling restrain Qi Yao in the harem.

But now Gao Ling himself has pushed himself into a dangerous situation, and even got Zhang Xiaohua involved...

Duanmu Yu was reluctant to give up, but the best way at the moment was to get the two of them out of the palace as soon as possible.

Duanmu Yu suppressed the soreness in his heart, and stuffed the medicine in his hand into Zhang Xiaohua's hand, "Here are two fake death pills, you and Gao Ling will take it today!"

"No...can I not eat?" Zhang Xiaohua shook her head with red eyes.

"Be good, get out of here." Duanmu Yu suddenly paused, she blinked, and then said with a slight smile, "After leaving the palace, you can live the life you want. It doesn't matter if you are a chic wolf, or you can be cute and sensible. As long as you are happy."

"But...but I feel happy only when I'm with you." Zhang Xiaohua still shook her head stubbornly.

Duanmu Yu immediately straightened her face, suppressing the surge of sourness in her heart, and said seriously, "But if you stay, you will die. If you die, I... I will be sad." She suddenly paused Dun, "Live well, okay? Promise me, live well..."

Seeing Duanmu Yu's eyes slowly turning red, Zhang Xiaohua held back her tears, but the tears kept coming out.

She pursed her lips and nodded as if she had made up her mind, "I will... I will be obedient."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua picked up the pill in her hand, she pursed her lips, then looked at Duanmu Yu and said, "Wait for me, wait until I come back to find you, okay?"

"Fool, if you can leave here, why bother to come back?" Duanmu Yu smiled slightly, "Go to find your wishful husband, husband and son, how nice it is to be unrestrained and unrestrained."

Zhang Xiaohua swallowed the pill with tears in her eyes, then shook her head, "I like you, being with you is the life I want to live."

After all, Zhang Xiaohua leaned down and kissed her softly.

Touched Duanmu Yu's lips.She imitated Duanmu Yu's previous appearance and entangled each other wantonly.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua deeply realized many things——

Once, she didn't know what love was...

She thinks that everything is just a hurdle in the long road of life, as long as you check in, you will be happy.

It wasn't until I met you that I realized that love is rich, colorful and romantic...

The emperor was helpless.

I love you, I would like to protect you, your happiness, everything about you.

You wait for me, wait for me to come back to you.

Duanmuyu, I will definitely come back to find you, definitely!

At that time, I will definitely not be as stupid as I am now, I will definitely not be used so stupidly by others, and I will definitely not put you in a difficult situation...

I'm sorry, Duanmu Yu.

Wait for me, must wait for me...

"I will... come back to find you." The moment Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes, she stared at Duanmu Yu and said stubbornly.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Duanmuyu couldn't help but shed a tear.

Tears dripped on Zhang Xiaohua's face, then slowly rolled down her cheeks, and then slowly rolled into Zhang Xiaohua's hair.

"Monarch." The purple bat appeared quietly, "The prime minister and the rest have already left, and now..."

"En." Duanmu Yu nodded, and once again gently touched Zhang Xiaohua's cheek.

This time, she will not let anyone hurt the one she loves, even if she endures the pain, she will protect it!

"Send them away!"

……

The autumn wind blew, causing the raging fire to spread wantonly to the entire camp in a short period of time.

Duanmu Yu stood on a high place, staring at the sea of ​​flames.

Suddenly, she felt a suffocation in her chest, and a fishy sweetness poured into her throat, "Poof—"

"Monarch!" Deng Li was shocked.

"It doesn't matter." Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Duanmu Yu looked from a distance.

In the distance, a carriage galloped away.
