The queen's heart is unpredictable

"It seems to be unethical to say that his mother killed someone in front of a child like this." Duanmu Yu originally planned to go out to the palace with Zhang Xiaohua to look for food.

As a result, Zhang Xiaohua saw that Duanmu Nian did not come back for a long time, so she was a little worried, and she wanted to let Duanmu Yu come and walk.

Originally, Duanmu Yu planned to regard today as a trial for Duanmu Nian, so he deliberately told Deng Li not to help Duanmu Nian unless it was absolutely necessary.

But I never thought that in the end, under Zhang Xiaohua's coercion and temptation, I had no choice but to embark on the road of "beloved".

What made her even more unexpected was that the old man Qi Yongzhuo took advantage of his absence to speak aggressively to Duanmianian, and even tried to induce Duanmianian to admit that she had something to do with Qi Mingyue's death.

Duanmu Yu, who had originally planned to listen in for a while before helping Duanmu Nian, finally stood up out of patience.

As soon as they saw Duanmu Yu, all the ministers present immediately felt a gust of cold wind, and then each shrank their necks and retreated to the side.

These old men are very shrewd. From the moment they saw Duanmu Nian, they didn't believe that Duanmu Yu would let go completely.So each of them dare not be presumptuous, and even if they want to speak, they will just pick up insignificant things and mention them casually.

It's just that with the passage of time, the spirits of these old men gradually relaxed a little, but they didn't expect Duanmu Yu to appear at this time.

"Your Majesty..." The people on the side who usually followed the Qi family's buttocks in circles came out under pressure one by one, ready to smooth things over.

As a result, Duanmu Yu didn't even look at them, and walked quickly to Qi Yongzhuo.

Obviously Qi Yongzhuo is tall, Duanmuyu needs to raise his head to look at Qi Yongzhuo.But at that moment, everyone felt that Qi Yongzhuo's aura suddenly weakened by three points, and was directly suppressed by Duanmu Yu.

Just when everyone thought that Qi Yongzhuo would retreat without saying a word like yesterday, Qi Yongzhuo changed his usual peaceful attitude and looked firmly at Duanmuyu.

Is that provocative?

The corners of Duanmu Yu's mouth hooked up uncontrollably.

"Is Prime Minister Zuo a little too angry this early in the morning?" Duanmu Yu yawned and walked forward.

When passing by Qi Yongzhuo, Duanmu Yu paused for a moment, turned her head and glanced at Qi Yongzhuo, but soon she looked indifferent, and continued to walk forward, until Duanmu Nian was beside her, she stopped.

Duanmu Nian stood up somewhat awkwardly, he wanted to stand up and give up his seat to Duanmu Yu.But Duanmu Yu put his hands on his shoulders, beckoning him not to move, so he sat there obediently, watching Duanmu Yu quietly.

Duanmu Yu leaned on the table, glanced at the group of people in front of her lazily and indecently, and then fixed her gaze on Qi Yongzhuo.

When she saw Qi Yongzhuo looking at her with resentment, she couldn't help but chuckled, "You can just speak up if you have something to say, Prime Minister Zuo, you don't have to put on such an unkind look..."

Hearing Duanmuyu's relaxed words, Qi Yongzhuo, who was originally nervous, couldn't react.After he pursed his lips, he put on the posture of questioning Duanmu Nian just now, and said sonorously, "The monarch came just in time, and I just wanted to ask about the assassination of the princess—"

"I said don't make detours." Duanmuyu interrupted Qi Yongzhuo with a sneer. She turned her head and looked at Qi Yongzhuo lazily, and then sneered, "You want to ask, are you an isolated person?" The one who killed Qi Mingyue, right?"

Qi Yongzhuo didn't expect Duanmu Yu to speak so bluntly, so he immediately bowed his hands and said respectfully, "Don't dare."

And this "dare not" was exchanged for Duanmu Yu's disdainful sneer.

Don't dare?

It's just that he didn't say it directly. In fact, what he said inside and outside the meaning was much meaner than what she just said.

"But speaking of it, everyone present knows that Qi Mingyue's family and your Patriarch Qi

The pulse relationship is not very good. "Duanmu Yu lowered his head, stared at his toes and said slowly and indifferently, "I heard that Prime Minister Zuo wanted to see the princess several times before, but she refused the door.Moreover, she threw out the things that Prime Minister Zuo sent several times. She humiliated Prime Minister Zuo so much. Now that she is dead, Prime Minister Zuo should be secretly happy. Why does she seem to be more excited than her biological father? "

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu looked past many people, and cast his eyes directly on the old man far away in the corner.

But immediately, she retracted her eyes and looked at Qi Yongzhuo with a half-smile.

Qi Yongzhuo's expression was a little awkward, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a look of reason, "Although the relationship between the princess and the official is not harmonious, the official has always cared about the princess and loves her as a daughter. .Now that the princess has passed away, the officials are deeply saddened..."

As he said that, Qi Yongzhuo pretended to reach out and wipe his eyes, which seemed a bit sad.

But this kind of trick can't fool Duanmu Yu, nor can it fool everyone present.

But no one spoke, and chose the default.

After all, there are some things that don't need more words.

"The concubine died tragically, and she left the monarch's jade pendant beside her. I don't know if the monarch knows about this?" Qi Yongzhuo's intentions were very obvious.

Duanmu Yu smiled lazily, and waved his hands, "I know, of course I know, you have said it so many times in front of Xiao Nian, how could Gu not know?"

Duanmuyu's mocking smile embarrassed Qi Yongzhuo a little.

But then Duanmu Yu smiled slightly, "But then again, there are so many jade pendants in Gu, and you all never came to ask Gu, and insisted that the jade pendant is Gu, which is really strange."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu raised his chin at Qi Yongzhuo, and asked very deliberately, "Master Zuo, do you think so?"

……

"The jade pendant was given to the monarch by King Shunda that day, and all the ministers present can testify to it!" Qi Yongzhuo had reason and evidence.

Duanmu Yu couldn't help but frowned suspiciously, "King Shunda gave it to Gu, and Gu has been staying with him all the time? Prime Minister Zuo is so sure, Gu almost thought that the person who serves Gu's clothes every day is Prime Minister Zuo."

After the words fell, Qi Yongzhuo's face changed again and again.

Duanmu Yu was too lazy to say anything, she slapped the table with a "snap" and stood up straight away.

"Gu doesn't like to bring those cumbersome things, so the jade pendant has always been handed over to the queen, and let the queen arrange it properly." Duanmu Yu hooked his lips, "Speaking carefully, this jade pendant appeared in the Next to the dead body of the princess, Prime Minister Zuo shouldn't question Gu, but should question your precious son!"

"Okay!" Duanmu Yu yawned, "I have already sent someone to investigate the matter of the princess, so there is no need for Prime Minister Zuo to act pretentiously here. If Zuo is really too busy and wants to investigate this matter, then I will follow your advice. It’s easier to start there.”

"By the way!" Duanmu Yu suddenly remembered something, and added, "Master Zuo definitely doesn't understand Gu, otherwise he wouldn't be so rude here today!"

She walked slowly to Qi Yongzhuo's side, reached out and patted Qi Yongzhuo's shoulder, and then said word by word, "If you want to kill people, you must be clean and neat, and you will definitely not beat around the bush, let alone leave any lies! Ha... ...In the future, when you kill people alone, you must notify the left minister to come and observe."

After she finished speaking, she patted Qi Yongzhuo on the shoulder several times as if deliberately emphasizing it.

Qi Yongzhuo trembled slightly, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Lonely." Duanmu Yu smiled with satisfaction, "I'll discuss things tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and waved to Duanmu Nian.

Duanmu Nian immediately jumped down obediently from the chair, then walked quickly to Duanmu Yu's side with his short legs.

"Let's go! Go out of the palace and eat sugar water!" Duanmu Nian said in a relaxed tone, unaffected by what happened just now.

Duanmu Nian looked around at the people who were staring at him and Duanmu Yu, he grabbed Duanmu Yu's hand,

Then he nodded firmly.

"My lord, is the matter about Mrs. Zixi... too hasty?" Just as Duanmu Yu pulled Duanmu Nian and was about to leave the review hall, a voice suddenly came from the corner.

Duanmu Yu stopped in her tracks, she turned her head and glanced at the direction of the voice, and then said with a slight smile, "You have taken care of Xiao Nian for so many years, and you have deliberately disguised yourself as a man for so long to protect Xiao Nian, why can't she afford this?" name?"

"This..." The man lowered his head, did not dare to look directly at Duanmu Yu, and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "Although there is a reason why she disguised herself as a man and entered the palace, but in the end she deceived everyone. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to give you a title now..."

"Not appropriate?" Duanmu Yu frowned slightly, "The reason why she disguised herself as a man to enter the palace was to act according to the order. Now that the matter has been completed, what's wrong with awarding meritorious deeds?"

"But that's a commoner after all, and he was suddenly made a wife—"

"Who told you that she is a commoner?" Duanmu Yu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "She is the daughter of Zhang Shangshu, born in a scholarly family, and willing to take care of Xiao Nian as an orphan, why can't she afford a Zixi?" Ma'am's name?"

Straightforward rhetorical question, there is no room for doubt.

The official who mustered up the courage to issue a letter immediately bowed his head like a frost-beaten eggplant and stopped saying anything.

"Concubine Wang's matter, Madam Zixi's matter, stop here!" Duanmu Yu's face was filled with luck a second ago, but now suddenly cloudy, "I don't want to hear anyone's criticism again!"

After all, she didn't look back, and directly left the review hall with Duanmian.

Duanmu Yu had long legs and she walked fast, so Duanmu Nian had to run to keep up with Duanmu Yu.

"Mother... Queen Mother." After a long time, Duanmu Nian raised his head out of breath.
