The queen's heart is unpredictable

After staying up all night, and with Duanmu Yu beside her, Zhang Xiaohua slept extraordinarily soundly.

This time, she slept until dusk before waking up.

Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes, and seeing no one around, she stretched habitually.In the next moment, she heard Duanmu Yu's voice.

"woke up?"

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes widened in surprise, and when she saw Duanmu Yu was really in front of her, she dared not believe it, "I thought you went back."

"I haven't been with you well, how can I go back?" Duanmu Yu picked up the bowl on the table, and after taking a sip of the porridge slowly, she couldn't help frowning, "Dong Haining's craftsmanship is really bad. "

"Mother-in-law cooked it?" Zhang Xiaohua rolled over from the bed as if she had heard something important, "Is the back kitchen safe?"

You know, Dong Haining is just a rough person who can only fight. When she was a girl in the Lang family, she did not spoil the kitchen of the Lang family.

Zhang Xiaohua was worried for a while, but Duanmu Yu was very calm, "Don't worry, the back kitchen is fine. If she really ruins the back kitchen, let her pay for it."

Hearing Duanmu Yu's words, Zhang Xiaohua immediately felt relieved.

But speaking of...

"How can my godmother know how to cook porridge?" This is really unprecedented, the first time.

The corner of Duanmu Yu's mouth curled up, and he smiled unrestrainedly, "Last night she was drunk and slept on the roof all night. After Feng Se found out, she went back to the capital city in a fit of rage. She made porridge right now and was going to go back to apologize. "

"Cook porridge here? Shouldn't it be cold when you go back?" Zhang Xiaohua asked while washing up after changing her clothes.

Duanmu Yu chuckled, "With her brain, don't think how thoughtful she can be."

Just as she was saying this, Duanmuyu raised her head and saw Zhang Xiaohua tidying up her hair, so she put down the bowl in her hand, stood up and walked to Zhang Xiaohua's side.

Zhang Xiaohua raised her head in confusion.

Duanmu Yu smiled and picked up the comb beside him and said, "Let me comb it for you."

"No need." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "I have short hair, so I don't need to take care of it."

Because summer is coming, and Zhang Xiaohua can't learn how to do things with her hair up, so she simply cut her shoulder-length short hair.On weekdays, I learn to tie up my hair like a man, which is convenient and refreshing.

It's just that when others look at it, they often regard Zhang Xiaohua as a boy.

Regardless of Zhang Xiaohua's words, Duanmuyu insisted on picking up the comb to help her comb her hair.Zhang Xiaohua couldn't resist, so she could only sit there quietly.

"You said you have long hair, how can you just cut it?" Duanmu Yu looked at the comb in his hand, it just sank into Zhang Xiaohua's hair roots, and before he pulled it, the hair in his hand was already empty

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her nose, "Long hair is too troublesome, short hair is neater. And it's very energetic when you put it up. You don't know, when I send it out, many girls say I'm pretty."

"It seems that you have cheated a lot of little girls recently..." Duanmu Yu asked nonchalantly.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt the coldness of nine days.

But at this time, she suddenly realized that what she just said seemed a little wrong, so she quickly changed her words, "No, no, those little girls scolded me one by one when they heard that I was a woman, and no one thought that I'm pretty."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu stopped moving his hands, curled his lips and said, "They dare to scold you, I think they have eaten the heart of a bear, I—"

"No, no, no!" Thinking of Duanmu Yu's way of handling things, Zhang Xiaohua immediately changed her words, "They didn't...didn't scold me, just... they just broke up, they all broke up. Oops!" Zhang Xiaohua pouted. He opened his mouth, "Don't embarrass me, I... I was just lazy and didn't want to be troublesome when washing my hair, so I cut my hair short. If you don't like it, just continue it."

"I don't dislike it." Duanmu Yu smiled and helped Zhang Xiaohua tie up her hair, "It's a very solemn thing to cut a woman's hair, but you cut it secretly by yourself."

"It's just a haircut. There's no need to be serious." Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and said with a smile, "Others say that hair is three thousand threads of trouble. If you cut it, you just cut it. It's just a trivial matter."

"But I think your troubles should be left by my hands." As he said that, Duanmu Yu suddenly put his arms around Zhang Xiaohua and said, "I was busy with the things in the palace a few days ago and neglected to accompany you. These few days I'll stay with you, okay?"

Hearing this, if it was before, Zhang Xiaohua would naturally be happy.

But since she ran the farm, business and the Four Seas Gang by herself, she deeply realized how difficult it is to manage a business, let alone manage a country.

"Actually... Actually, you don't need to worry about it." Zhang Xiaohua patted Duanmu Yu's hand, "You have your work to do, that's what you should do, and you don't need to feel guilty about it. Now you can take the time to watch Me, I'm very happy."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's sensible appearance, Duanmuyu smiled happily, couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinched Zhang Xiaohua's cheek, "But I'm willing to accompany you for a few days, aren't you happy?"

"Oh!" Zhang Xiaohua patted Duanmu Yu's hand away, with a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but coquettishly said, "You don't care about state affairs, but I still have a lot of miscellaneous things to take care of!"

"Then I'll accompany you to take care of it for you. If anyone refuses to obey me, I'll cut him down for you..."

Said such nonsense again!

But Zhang Xiaohua pinched Duanmu Yu's hand and said, "Just so, a few days ago, the cow on the farm gave birth to a calf, I'll take you to see it?"

Duanmuyu didn't say anything, and followed Zhang Xiaohua to the farm.

I haven't been here for only half a month, and the farm is much richer than before.

"I found that the beef supply in the capital city is still a bit low, so I asked someone to raise a few more beef cattle. In a few months, the cattle can be killed and eaten." Zhang Xiaohua pulled Duanmu Yu excitedly. , and then introduced with the appearance of a master, "Now the milk in Kyoto City is completely monopolized by me. I wanted to expand the industrial chain, so I bought several cows. I also asked people to match them. Seed, just gave birth to a calf a few days ago."

Zhang Xiaohua beamed and said, "I was so nervous that night, I stayed outside the cowshed. Old Wutou and Xiao Wu had been busy inside for a long time, and they came out bloody."

"You don't know, that calf was just born, and it's much bigger than I imagined!" Zhang Xiaohua became more and more energetic as she talked, "That calf's legs are so long, and it looks so cute..."

Duanmuyu followed Zhang Xiaohua, listening to her vivid description, his brows and eyes were full of doting smiles.

"Look!" After leading Duanmu Yu to the cowshed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't wait, stretched out her arms as if offering a treasure, and pointed at the calf, "That's it! It's only been ten days!"

Duanmu Yu walked over and saw that the calf was sleeping peacefully beside the cow.

In fact, after Duanmu Yu left the palace, she traveled around and lived outside the customs for a period of time.At that time, let alone seeing a calf, she even delivered cows several times.

But she still cooperated with Zhang Xiaohua, showing a surprised expression.

Zhang Xiaohua laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed, "This little calf hasn't been named yet, you came just in time, why don't you give this little calf a name!"

"A name?" Duanmu Yu smiled, "This beast has a name, but it has feelings."

"Then...then this is the first calf on our farm." Zhang Xiaohua naturally knows that it is easy to give birth to emotions after naming animals, and most animals have a short lifespan. When they turn around, they will definitely be sad .

But no matter what, this is the first little life born under Zhang Xiaohua's earnest care. Zhang Xiaohua said optimistically, "Anyway, it's a cow, and it can stay with me for a long time.

of it. "

"How about calling it Xiaohua?" Duanmu Yu glanced at the little calf, "Black and white suits well."

"You bullied me again, didn't you?" Zhang Xiaohua resisted the urge to kick Duanmu Yu, tilted her head, and said bluntly, "I think it's good to be called Xiao Yu!"

"What does a cow have to do with Yu?" Duanmu Yu raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xiaohua explained solemnly, "It is a cow with a dream! And the name... the name is the carrier of hope, I hope it... it will grow its feathers in the future!"

"A cow, you want it to work hard?" Duanmu Yu suddenly laughed, "Is your expectation of this cow too high?"

"As a parent, it's not an exaggeration to demand more from your children!" The ghost knows, Zhang Xiaohua just broke it out, such a profound idiom as arrowhead Kuoyu, it was also because her former boss pursued cultural literacy , and she only knew that such an idiom was used when deliberately writing the company culture slogan.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's steadfast look, Duanmuyu was too lazy to argue with her.

She smiled and looked back at the calf lying next to the cow, and smiled slightly, "Since you've made up your mind, let's call it Xiaoyu."

Faced with Duanmu Yu's straightforward reaction, Zhang Xiaohua was a little surprised, "You...you don't object?"

"What do I have to object to?" Duanmu Yu said indifferently, "You are willing to leave my shadow on the things around you, which is the best thing. When I am not around in the future, you look at it, will remember me."

Hearing Duanmu Yu's generous words, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, what Duanmu Yu said had some truth.

"Tell me, this little calf has the same name as you, will it grow more like you?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu curiously.

Duanmu Yu laughed, "It's not my own, how can it be like me?"

As he said that, Duanmu Yu turned his head, and saw Zhang Xiaohua turned his head away, looking at the calf in the cowshed with a mother's love on his face.

Duanmu Yu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he asked, "Do you like children?"

"I like it..." Zhang Xiaohua blurted out.

Duanmu Yu suddenly fell into deep thought, "But have you ever thought about it, if you and I are together, there is no way to have children..."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little serious.

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and then she understood Duanmu Yu's meaning. She smiled and said with a relaxed face, "I only said that I like children, but I didn't say that I must have my own children. Besides, things like having children But it hurts, and it is likely to die. So if you don’t have it, you don’t have it, just play with other people’s children.”

Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to hold Duanmu Yudao, "It's you, do you want your own child?"

"The child is so troublesome, what do you want?" Duanmu Yu rubbed Zhang Xiaohua, "Besides, at my age, it seems that I am qualified to raise you as a daughter."

"Hey!" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help curling her lips, "Based on what you said, should I change my name to your mother?"

"If you want, you can change it."

"There's no end to taking advantage of me!" Zhang Xiaohua pushed Duanmu Yu, "I'm still your father!"

"Oh, Dad? What is it?"

"I'm the daddy you'll never have!"

"Never get it?" Duanmu Yu grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's hand, and then pulled her into his arms, "I want to see what I can't get?"

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu bent down, hugged Zhang Xiaohua horizontally, and walked quickly towards the house.

"What are you doing, let me down!" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but wanted to scream, but she was afraid that she would attract Old Wu, so she lowered her voice and kept complaining, "Why are you so strong? I have photos Just like what Godmother said, I practiced hard, why can't I beat you?"

"you think

Hit me? "Duanmu Yu suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua licked her lips and said, "It's...that's what I think...I think...ah, you know that!"

Zhang Xiaohua can't let Zhang Xiaohua talk about this kind of thing.

But Duanmu Yu squinted his eyes and asked pretending not to know, "What? I don't know what you're talking about..."

"That's right!" Why is this person so annoying, and someone even said it himself!Zhang Xiaohua was so angry that after holding it back for a long time, she puffed her cheeks and didn't say a word.

Duanmu Yu lowered his head with a wry smile, and bit the tip of Zhang Xiaohua's nose.

Zhang Xiaohua was in pain, and looked at Duanmuyu with teary eyes.

Duanmu Yu smiled, "That's all you want?"

"Then... that's about fairness!" Zhang Xiaohua said confidently.

Duanmu Yu raised his eyebrows, "But isn't it good to lie down and enjoy? Do you have to torment yourself?"

"Then...then..." Zhang Xiaohua would not say that, she felt shy because she was being tossed and wailed every time, so she wanted to toss and toss Duanmu Yu, curious about how Duanmu Yu screamed!

Compared with the small thoughts in her heart, Zhang Xiaohua frowned, and said solemnly, "I think it's not good to always make you work hard, so I also want you to be comfortable."

"Really?" Duanmu Yu narrowed his eyes, "But why do I always feel that you seem to have some bad intentions?"

"Impossible!" Zhang Xiaohua said firmly, "I swear, I never have any bad intentions on this matter! I just want to understand you and want you to be safe and comfortable."

"Heh." Duanmu Yu couldn't help laughing, "Then you should practice martial arts well. When you are strong enough, I will naturally obey you."

"..." Zhang Xiaohua originally thought that her wish would come true today, so she swears and flatters happily, but ends up standing still with the whole thing.

Zhang Xiaohua is dead.

Everyone knows Duanmu Yu's martial arts is very strong, and it is simply impossible to defeat her in terms of strength!

and so……

Zhang Xiaohua secretly gritted her teeth and thought about it, but she didn't realize that Duanmu Yu had already carried her back to the house.

And when she came back to her senses, she was just thrown onto the bed by Duanmu Yu, and then——

"What are you doing! It's not dark yet! And you haven't bathed yet, your body stinks..."

"Duanmu Yu, don't, oh, don't..."

"Take a shower, take a shower, okay?"

……

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua finally got the bath she wished for.

As a result, when Zhang Xiaohua put in the water and washed it clean, she saw Duanmu Yu fully dressed and looking like she was about to leave.

"You...are you leaving?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu in a daze.

Duanmu Yu nodded helplessly, "There is something urgent in the palace, I have to go back quickly. If I can handle it well tonight, I—"

"Farewell." Zhang Xiaohua felt a little lost in her heart, but she still forced a smile, "If you have dealt with everything, you can take a break, and you won't be in a hurry to come to me tomorrow."

Zhang Xiaohua was afraid that Duanmuyu was not sure, so she purposely said with a straight face, "You are quite old, you need to take good care of yourself. Women who stay up late often will grow old. You don't want to go out in the future and let others really think you are You and I are mother and daughter..."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu, who was still a little bit disappointed, immediately laughed, "Well, I'll come to you tomorrow, my... little girl."

Hearing Duanmu Yu's gentle address, Zhang Xiaohua's face suddenly turned red.

Damn!

She was just talking casually, why did Duanmu Yu... really treat her like a child?

In fact, based on Zhang Xiaohua's real age, she and Duanmu Yu are basically the same age!

peer!

Focus!

Maybe Zhang Xiaohua is older!

How... How could Duanmu Yu treat him like a child all day long!

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it for a while, and seriously reflected on several reasons why Duanmuyu regarded her as a child.

……

At that time, Duanmu Yu hurried back to the palace.

On the way, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can people still be saved?"

"The imperial doctor has already rushed over, but King Qinghe is seriously injured, I'm afraid..." Ziba shook his head silently.

A trace of mourning flashed across Duanmu Yu's eyes, but then she withdrew her gaze and said sternly, "What about the person who assassinated him? Did you arrest him?"

"Unlocked." Purple Bat nodded, "It's already locked in the prison, is the monarch planning to go directly, or..."

"Go and see the second brother first." In the bottom of Duanmu Yu's heart, there was still a glimmer of hope burning.

But when Duanmu Yu arrived, the imperial physicians knelt down, all of them were crying, saying nonsense like the minister was guilty.

Duanmuyu listened to Wohuo with a sullen face, and walked into the house silently without paying attention to them.

The room is warm, without the slightest desolation and coldness of death.

Duanmuqing was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, but she was smiling.

"How long have you been walking?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qi Mingyue who was beside her.

Qi Mingyue sat there with blank eyes, she didn't come back to her senses until she heard Duanmuyu's voice.The moment she turned her head and saw Duanmu Yu, she suddenly pursed her lips, showing a bleak smile, "The prince is dead."

Seeing Qi Mingyue like that, Duanmuyu couldn't bear it, so he turned his head to Deng Li and said, "Take the princess down, let someone take good care of her, don't neglect her."

Deng Li nodded, and was about to go forward to help Qi Mingyue, Qi Mingyue looked at Duanmuyu, as if he had something to say.

Duanmu Yu lowered his eyebrows, "Go back and find you alone, you can go with them first."

With Duanmu Yu's words, Qi Mingyue stood up as if relieved.

After Qi Mingyue left, Duanmu Yu took another look at Duanmu Qing who was lying on the bed...

From childhood to adulthood, Duanmu Yu was bullied by his brothers and sisters more or less because he had no mother and concubine and was fostered by the Empress Dowager Lu.Duanmuqing is not a good person, but she also helped Duanmuyu out of the siege a few times.

In terms of feelings, Duanmu Yu doesn't have any deep feelings for Duanmu Qing, but they are brothers and sisters after all.

And in these years, there are so many brothers and sisters, dead and crazy.There are only a few normal people who are still alive, but Duanmuqing is the only one who stays in the capital city.

Now, he just died suddenly.

Duanmu Yu felt melancholy, "Let someone clean it up, and write another obituary to announce it to the world."

The purple bat followed, and nodded calmly.

After leaving Duanmuqing's place, Duanmuyu went directly to Lenggong to find Empress Dowager Lu.

The news of Duanmuqing's death has not yet come, so Empress Dowager Lu looked calm. After seeing Duanmuyu, she just sneered.

Duanmu Yuquan pretended not to see him, just walked over silently, and then asked lightly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"What does it matter if it's good or not?" Empress Dowager Lu crossed the rosary in her hand, with a look of hopelessness, "Could it be that you came here just to ask me such a question..."

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Lu's hand holding the rosary suddenly stopped, and she raised her head to look at Duanmu Yu, with a trace of fear in her eyes, but she still managed to ask calmly, "Is there something wrong with Qing'er?" Right. You promised me, you will save Qinger's life!"

"I didn't do anything to him." Duanmu Yu said coldly, "Someone assassinated him, he... failed to—"

"No! Impossible!" The Empress Dowager Lu, who was quite calm at first, suddenly jumped up and grabbed Duanmu

Feather clothes.She roared like crazy, "No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You lied to me, right? Qing'er will be fine, nothing will happen, he won't... nothing will happen..."

"It's impossible to save people." Duanmu Yu stood there, letting Empress Dowager Lu pester her, she just said coldly, "It happened so suddenly, who—"

"No!" Empress Dowager Lu pushed Duanmu Yu away with red eyes, "It's you! You sent someone to kill Qing'er! You vicious woman!"

Empress Dowager Lu made a gesture to hit Duanmu Yu, but Duanmu Yu raised her hand and stopped her directly.

Duan Muyu looked at Queen Mother Lu coldly, "Gu promised you that if you don't kill him, you won't kill him! The assassins this time are his followers and have nothing to do with Gu!"

Pushing away Empress Dowager Lu, Duanmu Yu's eyes darkened, "If you want to believe this, you can believe it, and if you don't want to believe it, it doesn't matter if you treat loneliness as an enemy."

Duanmu Yu was too lazy to entangle with others, let alone explain meaningless things to others.

"Gu came here today just to tell you about this matter!" As he spoke, Duanmu Yu put his hands behind his back, turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Lu suddenly wailed in pain, and then shouted angrily, "Duanmu Yu! You will die!"

Duanmu Yu's back froze, and she smiled indifferently. She turned her head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Lu, and said, "A bad death? When I practiced poison alone, I already experienced the feeling that life is worse than death. So why not Good death and the like, to Gu, it's nothing at all."

"Also, the person who assassinated the second brother was the one who survived when the second brother listened to you and secretly sent people to massacre villages and towns in the name of Gu." Duanmu Yu looked at Empress Dowager Lu without mercy, " Today, it is you who reaped the consequences yourself, and has nothing to do with others!"

Hearing Duanmu Yu's words, Empress Dowager Lu knelt there, her eyes suddenly dimmed.

"No... no. You are lying, you must have sent someone to kill Qing'er! It was you! You are afraid that Qing'er will harm you, so—"

"It's bad for Gu? Without the Lu family, what else do you have that can be bad for Gu?" Duanmu Yu shook his head with a smile, "If deceiving yourself and others can make you feel better, Gu doesn't mind getting a bad name."

After all, Duanmu Yu didn't want to stay any longer, and was about to turn around and leave.

Empress Dowager Lu suddenly raised her head, "Don't you want to know what Xiang'er said when she was dying?"

Duanmu Yu paused, hesitating slightly in his heart, but finally turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Lu.

Seeing that Duanmu Yu really stopped, Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but sneered.

Duanmu Yu frowned.

Empress Dowager Lu shook her head, "Do you want to know? But the Ai family just won't tell you! The Ai family wants to make you suffer and make you feel uneasy for the rest of your life!"

After saying that, Empress Dowager Lu suddenly got up from the ground, then ran into the pillar next to her.

Immediately, blood flowed from the Queen Mother Lu's head.

Duanmu Yu looked at it calmly, then shook his head with a sneer, "Do you really think that death is so easy?"

After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out, and said to the maid guarding outside, "The empress dowager can't bear the pain of losing her son, and wants to commit suicide. Hurry up and invite the imperial physician, and take good care of the empress dowager."

The long night is long, and the chaos in the harem continues...

In the middle of the night, the imperial doctor came to report, saying that although the Empress Dowager Lu woke up, she was unconscious, and she might have hurt her head.

Duan Muyu thought for a while, and then ordered Deng Li to send a few people to take good care of Empress Dowager Lu.

After all, the bad guys have to live longer.

After finishing the instructions, the purple bat suddenly came to report, "The queen took people to the prison, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she will be lynched."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu couldn't help sighing that tonight was really a sleepless night.At the same time, she got up and rushed to the prison.

"Is he the one who assassinated King Qinghe?" Duanmu Yu asked.

purple

Bat followed, nodded silently, "Yes."

After getting such an answer, a trace of melancholy flashed across Duanmu Yu's face, and her pace towards the prison became faster and faster.

When he got to the prison, Duanmu Yu couldn't help frowning.

In the stale air, apart from the stench, there was also the smell of burnt meat.

Walking further inside, Duanmu Yu saw a person tied to a torture rack in the execution room, with bloodstains and scorched marks all over his body, the whole person could not be seen at all.

Duanmu Yu withdrew his gaze and walked over slowly.The moment she saw Qi Yao, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile, "Your Majesty is really in a good mood. She didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she came to interrogate the prisoners in the prison."

After Qi Yao saw Duanmu Yu, he showed a surprised expression.However, he reacted quickly, stood up immediately, bowed and saluted, "I don't know if the monarch will come over, my humble minister—"

"Get rid of these vulgarities." Duanmu Yu waved her hand, turned her head and glanced at the half-dead man who was hanging on the torture rack, she said, "Your Majesty is insomnia at night, so she came to the torture room to have fun, right?" ?”

"This person assassinated King Qinghe, I want to find out as soon as possible—"

"Do you need to check?" Duanmu Yu interrupted Qi Yao mercilessly, "And..." She turned to look at the person on the shelf, "And you don't look like you are interrogating a prisoner. It looks like... it's killing people!"

"This person deserved to die for assassinating King Qinghe." Qi Yao said his words resonantly and decisively.

Duanmu Yu sneered, "Damn it, whoever dies will have an answer." Duanmu Yu glanced at Qi Yao, "It seems that the queen is not very clear about the law of the Great Summoning, I just think you should return After Gong has studied and studied the Law of the Great Summoning, come here to help the orphans share their worries, okay?"

"This man..." Qi Yao was about to say something more, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Duanmu Yusen's cold gaze.So he gritted his teeth, lowered his head unwillingly, and replied in a deep voice, "I obey the order, so I will go back to the palace to study the law carefully!"

"Wait!" Duanmuyu suddenly called Qi Yao, and then she slowly turned around and said, "Since the Queen wants to study the law carefully, why don't you write a few articles for Gu to read, and let Gu listen to you?" What is your opinion on the law of the big move..."

Hearing Duanmu Yu's words, Qi Yao's body froze, and in the end he could only lower his head humbly, and replied, "Observe the order!"

After sending Qi Yao away, Duanmu Yu asked Ziba to send the others out as well.

When only Duanmu Yu and the prisoner were left in the torture room, Duanmu Yu walked over and sighed softly, "Why bother?"

The person on the rack moved, but no sound came out.

Duanmu Yu wanted to help the man untie the chains on his body, but the man opened his mouth, blood trickled down and landed on his body, but it merged with the blood stains on his body.

He said, "Don't move, it's more comfortable like this."

Duanmuyu's hands stopped, she glanced at the man, finally withdrew her hand, and sighed, "Gao Ling, why did you come this far?"

The man froze, and then said hoarsely, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You dumbed yourself down, ruined your appearance, sneaked into the prince's mansion, and found out what happened back then, isn't it enough?" Duanmu Yu was a little helpless, she wanted to sigh, but she held back, "And you should know, those The Queen Mother instructed him to do everything, why did you kill him!"

"You...you know?" Gao Ling raised his head, his eyes were already soaked in blood, cloudy, he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, so he could only listen to the sound to distinguish his position, probably looking in Duanmu Yu's direction.

Facing Gao Ling's question, Duanmu Yu couldn't answer.

It was she who arranged for someone to deliberately lure Gao Ling to Qinghe Prince's Mansion. She wanted Gao Ling to find out by himself what happened when he slaughtered villages and towns.But she never expected that Gao Ling would directly assassinate Duanmu Qing today.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, it seems that she should be responsible for Duanmu Qing's death.

Gao Ling sees the end

Mu Yu didn't answer for a long time, he sneered, fearlessly and relaxed, "Those things back then were not planned by him, but he carried them out. With blood on his hands, he must pay the price for this matter!"

"Why this time?" Duanmu Yu frowned, "You should be clear that if you do something in the palace, you will definitely not be able to escape."

"Because he wants me to leave." Gao Ling said weakly, "He intends to send away everyone around him, so this is my last chance to assassinate him!"

"Confused!" Duanmu Yu snorted, "He sent you away for fear of implicating you, you—"

"So what!" Gao Ling clanged his words, "It doesn't matter how nice he is to me now, wouldn't he have to pay the price for what he did back then?"

Gao Ling's rhetorical question made Duan Muyu fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Duanmu Yu sighed softly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Oh, no..." Gao Ling smiled bleakly, lowered his head, and another stream of blood gushed out of his mouth.

Duanmu Yu knew that his time was short, so he didn't bother to say anything reasonable.There are some things that she doesn't need to say at all. Everyone has their own choices.

"Help me take good care of Xiao Hua." After Gao Ling was silent for a moment, he suddenly remembered something, and he forced himself to look up at Duanmu Yu again, "Please, don't tell her about me."

Duanmu Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

After getting a reassuring answer, Gao Ling lowered his head again.

This time, his consciousness has gradually blurred, and he can no longer hear or see.

He just vaguely recalled the time when he was with Dong Haining and Zhang Xiaohua.

At that time they were so wanton, so happy.Zhang Xiaohua followed behind him with two braids, calling him Brother Gao Ling.

And thinking of Zhang Xiaohua, Gao Ling couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Thinking of using Zhang Xiaohua for revenge back then, he regretted and blamed himself very much.Especially in the many days and nights after leaving the Four Seas Gang, Gao Ling feels extremely regretful when he thinks about what he did back then.

He didn't know what was wrong with himself at the time, that he would do such a thing...

It's just that regret is useless, and what happened will definitely not change.

Gao Ling's consciousness became more and more lax, and he felt as if he had returned to the past, to a time when nothing had happened.

so good……

"The man has died." Zi Bat stood beside Duanmu Yu and whispered.

Duanmu Yu didn't say anything, just raised his head and glanced at the moon outside the narrow window.

This night, enough people died...

"Leave the corpse to them. Later, you secretly go to the mass grave to drag him out and bury him properly." Duanmu Yu glanced back at Gao Ling's corpse, and finally sighed unbearably, "Change him into decent clothes and take care of him." buried."

After explaining, Duanmu Yu went back to Asahi Palace alone.
