Lu He never thought that he would end up like this.
She has imagined different futures, she has thought about sitting next to the adult, and she has also thought that although she does not have a position, at least she will not live such a subservient life in this life.
But now, she wants to live in this cold and damp ancient well forever and ever, and sleep here with those equally miserable women.
The mysterious man just tilted the ancient well, his expression showed no turbulence, and he left far away. This place, I am afraid that there will be no chance to come here again.
And the people from the Bloody Sakura Pavilion, covering their wounds all the way, hid the guards patrolling in the palace, and rushed back in the direction of Fengxi Palace.
The Empress and Duan Cheng had been waiting at the Fengxi Palace for a long time, but there was no anxious expression on their faces. Instead, they were sipping tea calmly, as if they were just for tea.
"When did Lu He betray the Empress, and why is there no sign?" Duan Cheng put down the teacup and asked with a frown.
"Hmph, Ben Gong has already discovered some clues, but I just think Lu He is a bit strange, but Ben Gong only thinks that she is lonely because of loneliness and the guards in the palace can't figure it out, I didn't expect that she would dare to betray Ben Gong! The queen snorted coldly and put the tea cup down heavily, and the tea in the cup splashed out and splashed around.
Duan Cheng glanced at the queen suspiciously.
"There is a little bit of Bizi Tang in the medicinal herbs storehouse of this palace. I didn't know about it originally, but when Lu Lian came to report to this palace, I was still aware of it." The queen snorted coldly.
Duan Cheng was silent for a while, and he didn't say anything to the queen. He just sat there and didn't know what to think.
"Master." The dark guard of Xue Ying Pavilion appeared behind the queen and Duan Cheng. It seemed that he came in through the window.
"You're back?" The queen turned around and frowned at the man's appearance, "How did you make it look like this?"
The man approached the queen and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see that the queen's expression became strange, and finally became a little angry and angry.
"What do you mean, I didn't find anything, and it was made like this? Where is the green lotus?" The queen was obviously very angry, and immediately gave the man a slap.
"Lu He, he's dead." The man fell to his knees with a plop, "This subordinate is incompetent, and I ask the master to punish him."
"Go down and be punished." The queen ordered coldly, and didn't look at him.
That person is also obedient, obviously the dark guard that the queen has cultivated since childhood.
Duan Cheng glanced at the dark guard and sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything else.
The queen looked at her brother with an expression that didn't seem strange, she just felt that Duan Cheng wasn't ruthless enough.
After all, the real cruelty is to attack yourself.
People are selfish, and they are naturally the first to protect their own interests. If others hurt their own interests, even if they hurt themselves, they will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Brother, sometimes, it is necessary to do something. If you still have that kind-hearted appearance, there is no way to make a big deal." The queen sighed and said to Duan Cheng.
Duan Cheng frowned. He heard his sister's preaching, and his ears were calloused, but although he was a little reluctant, he didn't say anything to refute in the end, "Got it."
The queen also knew that no matter what she said, Duan Cheng still wouldn't listen. After all, she knew her brother quite well. If Duan Cheng didn't want to do it, she wouldn't do it anyway.
"Forget it, do as you please." The queen still compromised, just waved her hand and said nothing else.
When Duan Cheng saw this, he didn't plan to stay any longer. After all, he had nothing to say to the queen. Just bowed towards the queen and wanted to leave.
"Wait, brother, I have something to discuss with my brother." The queen stopped Duan Cheng.
"What else is there to do, Niangniang?" Duan Cheng looked at the queen, thought about it, and said, "But it's about Zhilan."
The queen nodded, "Yes, at this time, it's time for Zhilan to marry Yu'er. We don't need to intervene this time, just see what happens to Nan Xuanjue."
"So, will His Royal Highness have some thoughts in his heart? After all, we do this, I'm afraid that His Highness..." Duan Cheng hesitated and expressed his concerns.
"This matter has nothing to do with Duan Xi. If we intervene, it will not be conducive to acting in the court in the future. Second, we can use this opportunity to dampen Yu'er's spirit, so that he will be willing to listen to us." The queen's tone was flat, as if she was not talking about her son.
"Niangniang, if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out, I'm afraid he will blame us..." Duan Cheng sighed. In any case, Nan Xuanyu is the only son of the Queen. If he does this, it will only make Nan Xuanyu hate them even more.
"Only you and I know about this matter. There is no third person. Brother, what are you afraid of? Why are you always timid now? Do you think that we will have a way back?" The queen looked at Duan Cheng's appearance was also somewhat annoyed.
Duan Cheng also held his breath and couldn't let it out, and he didn't want to do it, but if it wasn't for "him", he would have given up now. But in the end, Duan Cheng was not able to quarrel with the queen. After all, the queen is also his mainstay, and the two of them are in the same boat, so naturally they won't say anything.
Duan Cheng seemed to have two little people fighting in his mind, and finally he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, since the mother said so, I can't say anything as a brother. In this way, I will Go back and prepare, secretly go to prepare Zhilan's dowry."
The queen showed a smile. This time, she just gave Nan Xuanyu no chance to refuse.
As long as it is logical to marry Duan Zhilan, Nan Xuanyu will be more obedient to his own words. At that time, the world of Da Yu will not belong to the Duan family
The queen looked at Duan Cheng and said with a smile: "That's right. Brother, you must know that this will only benefit us. Although it does take some risks, in the end, the benefits will be the greatest. of."
Duan Cheng looked at the empress's greedy appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart. They have gotten enough over the years. If she can stop the car, she can be considered stable. But now she's getting more and more radical, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing for the Duan family.
