Father, Mother Escaped Again

There’s nothing that can be done . As the saying goes, it’s better for you to die than me . Since someone took the lead to block the guns for them, then they can’t stop them, right?

The moment Huo Feiyan stepped onto the platform, everyone was basically looking forward to it .

The difference was that the others were looking forward to how Huo Feiyan will be abused, while Duke Lu was looking forward to how Huo Feiyan will surprise the audience and overpower Xia Yuqing . This time he was destined to be disappointed .

On the one-foot-square platform, a luxurious and dignified woman sat, shining brightly . Behind the woman were two beautiful girls . Looking from a distance, it should be a beautiful picture . However because there was a woman standing beside her with make-up resembling a ghost, it looked a little bit... ahem, like the ring* .

* the movie

Huo Feiyan raised her head high and looked at the girl who had put her hands on the strings with a disdainful face . There was a mocking smile on her lips, but soon she wouldn’t be able to laugh .

“Deng–” The wind and sand rose up . The harsh sound that shouldn’t have been made by the Guqin suddenly cut through the night sky, abruptly suppressing the sound of Huo Feiyan’s throat .

“Cough cough cough...” Huo Feiyan died before the sound came out, she almost coughed up a mouthful of blood . She stared at Xia Yuqing with wide eyes .

Lu Rui and Cui Er who were on the stage silently turned their eyes away when they saw that . It was as if they had not seen the panic in someone’s eyes and the slightest reluctance to ask for help .

Before Huo Feiyan turned her head to ask for help from the audience, the next wave of zither sound had already poured into her ears . Quickly, it petrified Huo Feiyan in place .

She wanted to stop Xia Yuqing with a loud voice, but found that she couldn’t make a sound . Her body seemed to be restrained by something, she couldn’t move . She could only watch Xia Yuqing drunkedly fiddle with the strings .

Once Xia Yuqing started to play, she knew nothing about what was going on and would not experience the surrounding situation unless there were special circumstances . So, after she recovered from her infatuation, Huo Feiyan on the stage, Duke Lu and the others were dying . Outside the palace, the palace people who had anticipated this development earlier took out the cotton ball from their ears calmly, and began to clean up all the foaming birds on the ground .

“Sparrows, pigeons, crows, oh, there are several owls . It would be better to put them away to make some nutritional soup for Niang Niang!” A group of palace people who counted the trophies muttered in a low voice . It seems that Niang Niang playing the zither is not completely unprofitable, at least there was no need to worry about the entire palace being eaten empty by Niang Niang .

While the palace people threw those birds that were horribly poisoned by the music and could not escape from the small basket, they were thinking about the large sumptuous meal they would have and how they could trick Consort Qing into playing zither for them again . Ah, the world is beautiful!

There was a thriving and cheerful scene outside the hall, but inside the hall, it was not so optimistic .

Xia Yuqing retracted her hand and slowly opened her eyes . She saw Huo Feiyan collapsed on the ground with her face pale as paper . Her eyes were staring at the front blankly as if she had lost her soul .

Xia Yuqing was taken aback and gasped, “What’s wrong with her?”

Cui Er and Lu Rui quickly destroyed something as Xia Yuqing stopped . Now that Xia Yuqing asked, the two coughed lightly and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: “Don’t worry about the lady . Lady Huo’s makeup was too horrible, it may have drawn in some unlucky stuff . But since Lady Huo is still alive, she should be fine . “

As if she was trying to verify Lu Rui’s statement, Huo Feiyan’s lips trembled and she let out a horrifying laugh: “I’m still alive, I’m still alive . Tha . . thank god... I’m still alive, I’m alive......”

“...” She acted like she saw a ghost and she still said that she was okay?!

Before Xia Yuqing had time to give Huo Feiyan a sympathetic look, she suddenly heard a burst of warm applause behind her .

A few people turned their heads in surprise and saw the Da Rens clapping sincerely . Feng Tingye stepped forward and warmly praised her: “I haven’t seen it in a few days, but Ai Fei’s zither art is getting more and more refined . ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Feiyan and Duke Lu stopped being preoccupied about making it through the calamity . They turned their heads to look at Feng Tingye in disbelief, their eyes were as big as a copper coin . In addition, with Huo Feiyan’s makeup and Duke Lu’s old general’s face, it was quite a horrible sight .

Xia Yuqing didn’t pay attention to this . She lowered her head with a shy expression, caressing her belly pretending to be modest: “Your Majesty is exaggerating . Being able to win the praise of the emperor, Chen Qie’s practice was not in vain . ”

Lu Rui, who stood behind Xia Yuqing, listened to her words and looked at the sky in silence . Yes, in order for Niang Niang to shine today, Xiefang Palace has recently lost several pines and cypresses, a pavilion, and some birds they have breeded . If this continued, she is very suspicious that the birds in the entire palace will have to suffer genocide . This is an unspeakable tragedy...

Xia Yuqing paused, then turned her attention to Zhang Sunshi and cautiously asked: “Royal Mother, are you satisfied with Chen Qie’s song?”

Zhang Sunshi was taken aback . She glanced at Huo Feiyan, who was still lying on the ground, and the pale-faced Duke Lu, and smiled: “Satisfied . Qing Er’s zither skills is outstanding, how could royal mother be dissatisfied? It’s cool up there, come back here quickly . ”

“Cough cough...” Before Zhang Sunshi’s words fell, Duke Lu couldn’t help but cough slightly .

Upon seeing this, Feng Tingye asked hypocritically: “What’s wrong with Duke Lu? Is your body not feeling well?”

Duke Lu tried to endure the fishy sweetness in his mouth . For the first time in his life, he realized what suffering in silence and having unspeakable bitter suffering was . He barely pulled his lips back and said: “Thank you for Your Majesty’s concern . Perhaps being travel worn in addition to not being acclimatized to the capital have caused me to get a cold . ”

“Cold, you say? It’s not too serious, but it’s not small either . Should Zhen ask an imperial physician to treat the Duke?”

“Thanks for Your Majesty’s care, but there really is no need . ” The smile on Duke Lu’s face became more reluctant .

Feng Tingye raised his eyebrows, and stopped teasing him . He stretched out his hand to take Xia Yuqing’s hand, then pulled Xia Yuqing back to sit down beside him .

As for Huo Feiyan, she was helped by a few small palace ladies in the palace . The close girls she brought were basically killed in battle, while the few with tenacious vitality were only half alive . She seemed to have lost .

After this episode, the atmosphere at the banquet became a little more subtle . Duke Lu and Huo Feiyan looked at Xia Yuqing with obvious fear and precaution, while Xia Yuqing was confused by them .

Hey, I didn’t expect it at first, but now I suddenly understand . She was wondering why the girls around Huo Feiyan were so crooked looking, so it turned out that the master had grown into this virtue . She had to find something uglier to bring out her own uniqueness .

You can really stand out when there is a contrast! Meeting this kind of master, it would be a sin to be born good looking!

Xia Yuqing was busy mourning for Huo Feiyan’s girls, but some people were not ready to just give up .

After three drinking rounds, the grandfather and granddaughter pair calmed down . Duke Lu raised his head and questioned with a smile: “On the way to the capital, I heard that Niang Niang was kidnapped by some gangsters recently . When I was near the capital, I heard that the emperor actually personally visited and mingled with the people in incognito to pick up the empress . Is this matter true?”

Feng Tingye’s eyes were slightly cold . Obviously, they didn’t expect Duke Lu to mention this matter . His complexion changed for a moment, then he smiled again: “This matter is a long story . Some fugitives noticed that Zhen treasured Ai Fei and Ai Fei was carrying the dragon descendant, so they decided to kidnap Ai Fei to threaten Zhen . Fortunately, heaven helps the worthy, so Ai Fei and Zhen escaped the catastrophe . Otherwise Zhen really...”

Feng Tingye made a frightened expression . This set Huo Feiyan alight and she secretly regretted the fact that Xia Yuqing’s life wasn’t lost in the kidnapping .

Duke Lu narrowed his eyes and continued: “This minister also heard that the emperor finally found the empress in a bandit den . ”

Feng Tingye’s eyes had a murderous look . He raised his eyebrows and laughed: “How did the Duke learn about this?”

In order to prevent the Wu family from being caught and criticized after they were rehabilitated, the matter was deliberately obscured when they returned . They had only said they encountered Wu Jun on the road by chance and were able to rescue Xia Yuqing, how was the information leaked?

“It was just hearsay, hearsay . Is it possible that the truth of the matter is not like this?”

“This...” Feng Tingye’s face was slightly dark looking at the expression of Duke Lu . He was prepared, even if he did not admit it, he wanted to come at him .

When Feng Tingye was hesitant, everyone suddenly heard a soft cough from Feng Tingye’s side: “This matter is indeed what Duke Lu said, but there are some twists and turns . ”

“Ai Fei?” Feng Tingye didn’t expect Xia Yuqing to speak out at this time . For fear that she would say something amazing, he was going to interrupt, but saw her playful look and stopped . She turned her head to Duke Lu with a serious face: “This matter is a long story . Please listen to me carefully . That day, Ben Gong was going out of the palace to visit an old friend but I didn’t expect...”

So, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Xia Yuqing explained how she was going out of the palace by herself that day to visit Xu Lao, but was instead kidnapped by Jiang Zhaorou and others . After that, she ran into a bandit on the way to escape and was brought to the cottage by the vicious bandit .

The only difference was that the band of bandits in Xia Yuqing’s mouth was a murderous madman who really liked to kill people without a trace of sympathy . The original bandits, that is, Wu Jun and others, have become a bunch of honest people who have been bullied by the bandits .

Xia Yuqing eloquently made up the kind of awesome stories that storytellers like to tell about heroes saving the beauty: “On that day, Ben Gong just left the wolf den and entered the tiger den . The gang of bandits brought them to the mountain . She was imprisoned in a narrow cell, thinking that there would be no more chance for her when suddenly she heard a noise outside . After a while, the locked door was kicked open . ”

Everyone on the side cooperated . With an expression of nervousness, Xia Yuqing continued: “Ben Gong was frightened, only to see the emperor standing covered in blood at the door of the room . A round-moon scimitar in his left hand and a square halberd in his right hand, killing all quarters, he was invincible . Cutting down those thieves without blinking his eye, he rescued Ben Gong from the tiger den . ”

As soon as Xia Yuqing finished speaking, everyone in the palace found their gaze on Feng Tingye’s body . Their eyes were full of admiration .

“...” Feng Tingye met everyone’s gaze and reluctantly pulled up the corner of his mouth .

A full moon scimitar in his left hand and a Fangtian painted halberd in his right? Ai Fei, do you regard me as the door god?

Xia Yuqing didn’t realize Feng Tingye’s inner entanglement at all . She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with emotion, and said: “Afterwards, Ben Gong learned that the emperor had listened to the discussion of the people in the village below the mountain to find out Ben Gong was kidnapped by them . Without saying a thing, the warm hearted villagers came up the mountain to rescue Ben Gong from the tiger den . Knowing that they were robbed by bandits, and had nothing else, the emperor wanted to thank the enthusiastic villagers for their kindness and brought them back to the capital . If the Grand Duke doesn’t believe me, he can confront them . If the emperor didn’t arrive in time, I am afraid that Ben Gong and the dragon descendant will not be in this world long ago . ”

After speaking, Xia Yuqing turned to Feng Tingye and called out: “Your Majesty . ”

Feng Tingye stared at the playfulness that couldn’t be hidden in Xia Yuqing’s eyes . The corners of his lips twitched and he unconditionally cooperated and said, “Ai Fei has suffered . ”

“No, there was no suffering . Chen Qie is alright . With the thought of the emperor coming to rescue Chen Qie, Chen Qie does not feel bitter at all . ”

“Zhen is Ai Fei’s husband, the only support for Ai Fei in this world . Who will save Ai Fei, if not Zhen? Zhen can’t bear giving Ai Fei the slightest bit of suffering . ”

Xia Yuqing’s eyes were watering up: “Your Majesty...”

Feng Tingye was soft and affectionate: “Ai Fei...”

The two of them acted as if no one was present and were reading out their scripted lines, making everyone feel overwhelmed . Pink hearts began to float in the air on all sides .

“Uh...” It was Yan Ran who was sitting closest to the two who couldn’t stand it first .

Xia Yuqing glanced down at him, and asked with concern: “What’s the matter, Gorgeous Grand Tutor?”

“Uh, it’s nothing . I must have eaten something bad earlier . Continue, please continue . ” Yan Ran felt a certain amount of sweat from a death ray sent from a person who was interrupted .

So pitiful, he didn’t mean it . It’s just that these two people are too ignorant of the concept of restraint . It’s too cheesy that he couldn’t hold it in...

“Eat something bad?” Xia Yuqing thought for a moment, then her eyes lighted up, “Gorgeous Grand Tutor, don’t tell me you have one*?”

* way she says it makes it sound like she asked if he was pregnant

“Puu...” The tea in Yan Ran’s mouth was distributed all over the long table in front of him .

Shao Zitong at the side quickly hid . He escaped the catastrophe, but there was a bit of dissatisfaction gathered in his eyes . He made up his mind . In the future, if there was such a banquet, he will no longer sit with Yan Ran, a runaway faucet .

“Have what? Niang Niang, Chen is a man . ” A genuine, childlike man! Yan Ran blushed, feeling that his man’s dignity had been provoked .

“Why can’t men have children?” Xia Yuqing’s expression of “You don’t need to quibble, I understand!” made Yan Ran want to vomit blood .

“Whose would it be if the Gorgeous Grand Tutor had a child?” Xia Yuqing saw that Yan Ran didn’t explain, but there was actually no way to explain it . She touched her chin and continued, “Could it be...” Xia Yuqing’s gaze transferred to Feng Tingye’s body .

How did Feng Tingye, who had been happily watching the play, would know that this city gate lit on fire would suddenly burn him . He met Xia Yuqing’s ambiguous eyes . When Feng Tingye wanted to make a sound, he heard Xia Yuqing whisper: “I didn’t expect the emperor to have the habit of getting on the train first and then making up a ticket . Chen Qie really misunderstood you . ”

Feng Tingye choked suddenly and his face became heavy: “Ai Fei, I thought since that time you and I talked to each other in the stronghold, Ai Fei has been able to understand my thoughts and will no longer imagine me with other men...”

“Knowing is one thing, reality is another . The emperor is young and energetic . It’s okay to think about seeking excitement on weekdays . But you can’t be like this to the Gorgeous Grand Tutor, the child is innocent after all!” Xia Yuqing added oil and jealousy recklessly .

Feng Tingye and Yan Ran’s faces were blue . They turned to look at each other, then immediately turned away as if they were stained with something dirty .

Seeing that Feng Tingye was really angry, Xia Yuqing decided to stop and said softly, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry . I’m just kidding . ”

Yan Ran glanced at Xia Yuqing bitterly: “...this joke is not funny at all . ”

Feng Tingye spoke with a black face and coldly said, “No more thinking about these things in the future . ”

Xia Yuqing was taken aback: “Why?”

“There is no why, you are pregnant with a child . It is not good for the child . ”

“Your Majesty means that once Chen Qie gives birth to the child...”

Feng Tingye’s expression changed again . He coldly stated, “No! After birth is still not ok . ”

“Why? You’re heartless, you are being deliberately hard on me!”

“Zhen is heartless and being deliberately hard on you? How can you say that? No is no . ”

“......” The crowd listened to the two people flirting and cursing like three-year-old children . They silently looked at the sky, all those who show off their love should die! Why are the emperor and Niang Niang so childish and playing house? Can’t we all play happily together?

Xia Yuqing’s mouth flattened: “I just thought about it, I didn’t really do anything . You can’t deprive me of my hobby . ” Someone obviously ignored the “sin” she had done previously .

Facing Xia Yuqing’s eyes that showed, “You are a bad person, I would rather die than surrender”, Feng Tingye gritted his teeth secretly: “Ai Fei, you have become more courageous recently . ”

Xia Yuqing made a distressed expression, she spread her hands helplessly: “Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said this is called depression phobia during pregnancy . You have to bear it, and Chen Qie will continue to work hard in the future . ”

“...”

Feng Tingye and Yan Ran were almost vomiting blood due to Xia Yuqing, but because they lowered their voices, only the nearest people knew what they were talking about . While the few people further away...thought they were having a very happy conversation .

This scene fell into the eyes of Huo Feiyan, who was further away . The two of them seemed to be whispering to no one else . Her face almost went crooked when she thought about it .

Duke Lu’s face was also not very good . His original intention was to splash Xia Yuqing through dirty water through this kidnapping . He was leading the topic to be more taboo, something like Xia Yuqing’s intimate contact with people outside the palace .

It stands to reason that women in the palace cannot go out of the palace casually . Firstly, because of their identities . Once they are out of the palace, it is easy to attract people’s attention, just like Xia Yuqing being kidnapped . Secondly, they belonged to the emperor . Women can’t just show up outside casually, let alone do intimate things with others . Because of the prestige of the emperor’s family, they can never allow a woman to make them bear a green hat .

Whether Xia Yuqing had close contact with people during the kidnapping process, Duke Lu did not know, but this kind of thing is always the same . As long as he guided the conversation well, he was not afraid that Feng Tingye and Zhang Sunshi would not doubt it . But he did not expect Xia Yuqing to play a card so randomly...

“Qing Er suffered a lot from being kidnapped this time and became a lot thinner . The emperor should take better care of her . ” Zhang Sunshi looked at her with a gentle expression . The son and daughter-in-law who fell in love with each other were not provoked by Duke Lu’s words at all, so Duke Lu did not have the opportunity to instigate .

“Yes, Er Chen understands . ”

Duke Lu glanced at the consort, Feng Tingye, then at the joyful Zhang Sunshi . Finally, he realized what it means to lift a rock and hit himself in the foot .

“Grandpa...” Seeing the mansion slowly heading towards Xia Yuqing, Huo Feiyan was anxious . She pulled the sleeve of Duke Lu and whispered .

Duke Lu patted her hand to soothe her . He took a deep breath and looked up at Xia Yuqing . Then, as if he had discovered something, his eyes suddenly shrank .

“This set of clothes on Niang Niang is...is...”

Xia Yuqing turned her head in suspicion . She saw Duke Lu pointing at her clothes with a look of surprise, and she couldn’t help but be a little puzzled: “What about the clothes on Chen Qie?” Is it too gorgeous and blinding?

Feng Tingye didn’t laugh, but in his heart he thought this old man finally saw the true face of Xia Yuqing’s outfit .

Zhang Sunshi also smiled, pretending to be surprised: “Duke Lu still remembers this outfit?”

This sentence is tantamount to acknowledging Duke Lu’s conjecture in a disguised form . His face was distorted for a moment . He reluctantly said: “Of course, this dress was made by the first emperor when the queen mother was granted the title of noble concubine . This is the only one in the world . ”

“Duke Lu has a good memory . ”

Duke Lu stood up and bowed to Zhang Sunshi: “Empress Dowager, Consort Qing is the first of the four concubines, but she is just a concubine after all . How can a concubine wear the outfit of the imperial concubine? This is a crime, how can she not know etiquette!”

As soon as this was said, everyone at the banquet moved their eyes to him as if looking at an incredible jumping clown .

The origin of this dress, Duke Lu knew, so how would the empress dowager and the emperor not know? Since both of them knew it well, but they didn’t say anything, they had implicitly agreed . What’s more, the dress was modified by Zhang Sunshi herself and sent to Xiefang palace .

Duke Lu didn’t think . How could Xia Yuqing wear such precious clothes if the empress dowager didn’t take it out herself? With this, if Duke Lu was really a smart person, he should understand that Zhang Sunshi was warning him, hoping that they will retreat when they see this . However, some people just don’t know how to read the situation and would go running into a wall without looking .

Xia Yuqing was also taken aback . She just thought this palace outfit was very dignified and gorgeous . She thought it was a formal dress that a concubine would wear during a festival, but she didn’t know it had such a background, so she turned her attention to Lu Rui .

Lu Rui looked up at the sky with a guilty conscience, as if she hadn’t seen Xia Yuqing’s gaze . She knew nothing, she didn’t know anything, cough cough...

Zhang Sunshi’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she smiled: “Qing Er is a concubine . But now she is pregnant with a dragon descendant, so she should have been promoted as a noble concubine long ago . The emperor had already said that after Qing Er gave birth to the child, he would immediately hold a ceremony and name Qing Er as the queen . In three months, Qing Er is about to give birth . Since it is just around the corner, why care about it?”

Zhang Sunshi’s words were tantamount to acknowledging that the position of Queen being given to Xia Yuqing was indestructible . Huo Feiyan’s face turned dark . Huo Feiyan suddenly got up and said, “Empress Dowager, I...”

“Shut up . ” Zhang Sunshi interrupted Huo Feiyan’s unfinished words with a cold shout . This shocked everyone who was accustomed to her gentleness and dignified aura . “When elders speak, when can a junior like you speak up? Duke Lu, how did you raise your granddaughter?”

Duke Lu’s face changed slightly . He hurriedly pulled Huo Feiyan to her knees: “Yan Er is still young, please forgive her . ”

“Young? Does this mean that children don’t have to pay for their lives if they kill people?”

“This...” Zhang Sunshi’s aggressiveness made Duke Lu’s heart turn cold . Before he had time to say anything, Huo Feiyan who was stabbed by Zhang Sunshi’s words was even more stimulated .

“Why, why?” Huo Feiyan whispered, her emotions getting more and more frantic . The gaze that she used on Zhang Sunshi was a bit cold .

“Royal mother...” Xia Yuqing hurriedly pulled Zhang Sunshi . She looked at Huo Feiyan, who was obviously out of control, with a panicked face . Oh my god, this little monster is finally about to evolve into a big monster?

Feng Tingye also stood in front of the two . The few people sitting next to each other also had a cold face, and they sat up in alert . The gang of girls behind Xia Yuqing sounded the first level alarm with grim faces .

“Why, why is everything she said right, but I will be scolded by you if I make a sound? I am not convinced, obviously... it shouldn’t be like this . It shouldn’t be like this . The emperor, I should be the one he likes . I should have been sitting on the queen’s seat . It must be me! It must be this fox . What demon tricks did this fox use...”

“How dare you?!” Before Huo Feiyan finished speaking, she was cut off by Feng Tingye .

Under Huo Feiyan’s astonished gaze, he slowly walked down from the upper position . He stared coldly at Huo Feiyan as if looking at a dead object: “I don’t know when a little granddaughter of a Duke had entered my harem and had taken the throne of the Queen, but whoever Zhen likes isn’t up to you . Zhen can tell you clearly that no matter who Zhen will like, it will never be you . ”

With a click, Huo Feiyan felt a certain belief that she had always had, with a crack... was broken . Her eyes widened . She looked at this man who she once thought could make her become a phoenix in disbelief . She screamed: “No... how could you not like me? How could...”

Huo Feiyan screamed in grief, but it did not bring her much sympathy just because most people’s eyes stopped at Xia Yuqing, worried .

“Niang Niang, don’t listen to that ugly woman’s nonsense . You are not a fox, you are...” Lu Rui looked at her master’s stiff body and the tears that gradually gathered, cursing the ugly woman thousands of times in her heart . She racked her brains to comfort her, “Yes, you are a fairy from heaven . A fairy, not a demon . ”

The person next to her hurriedly agreed, but Xia Yuqing did not listen at all . Turning on the two tanks of saline solution, she pitifully said: “How can she... how can she describe me as a treacherous coquette fox, something that could smell bad . At least, she should mention that I don’t have body odor!”

” ......” Niang Niang, was that what you got from what she said?

“Even if she said that I am a demon, she should say that I am an incarnation of beauty and wisdom, nobleness, an elegant...”

Everyone’s ears were erected, silently guessing the last term in their hearts: Peony? Qinglian? Phoenix tail?

“...Rapeseed flower . ”

“...” The muffled sound of a group of people falling to the ground and countless people’s hearts saying wtf .

Rape blossoms can be seen everywhere in the mountains and wilds, how is it noble and elegant? Don’t bring people’s expectations up like that, Niang Niang! It will be broken by you!

Feng Tingye, who had been paying attention to Xia Yuqing, but was unable to get away, couldn’t help but pull up the corners of his mouth when he heard this . He felt relieved .

Turning his head to look at the girl holding his thigh tightly, a trace of hatred slipped through his eyes . He shook his leg without pity, directly shaking Huo Feiyan aside .

The makeup on Huo Feiyan’s face has already been ruined through her crying . At the moment her face was full of resentment . It was hideous, like a mad woman: “Why? Why don’t you like me? How can I not compare to that woman? I can help make the harem prosper, make a prosperous country . Is she able to do that? Is she?”

Hearing Huo Feiyan’s questioning, Yan Ran and the others couldn’t help but look at her up and down and think: It’s one kind of courage to feel too good about yourself, but they didn’t believe she dared to ask others how she was comparable to Xia Yuqing .

In fact, from the appearance to the temperament, they really can’t compare anything . Looking at the sky~ there is such a strong gap . If you don’t compare it, you really don’t see it, but a comparison like this feels quite shocking .

Therefore, some people courting disaster completely disregarded the occasion . The speed of their death is speeding up!

Feng Tingye laughed angrily: “Prosperity for the harem? My harem is only for my Ai Fei and my royal mother, why do we need you to help make it prosper? As for the prosperity of the world, that even more so . Could it be that I can only rely on you to make my world prosper?”

“I...” Huo Feiyan was blocked by Feng Tingye and had no chance to speak . She turned to Duke Lu for help .

Although Duke Lu was angry at Huo Feiyan’s impulsivity, the matter had come to this point and there was no way out, so he made a desperate bet and bowed forward: “Empress dowager, do you still remember that year Wei Chen prophesized about the emperor and Yan Er?”

Zhang Sunshi’s pair of phoenix eyes, which were unusually similar to those of Feng Tingye, shuddered . She knew that the main point of Duke Lu coming here finally came: “Oh, I remember it . Duke Lu said that your granddaughter will become the future queen of Ye Kingdom?”

Duke Lu and Huo Feiyan’s eyes lit up: “Exactly . ”

Upon seeing this, Zhang Sunshi laughed slowly: “Oh, that thing . Ah . It’s just a group of fake Taoist slurs . How can one take it seriously?”

“Slurs?” Duke Lu’s expression changed and he shouted in a panic, “Empress dowager, even if the queen dowager does not believe in this servant, she should trust the Da Rens of the Qin Tianjian!”

“It is precisely because they are members of the Qin Tianjian . Duke Lu was also once one of the esteemed secretaries of the Qin Tian . This happened to the granddaughter of the Duke, how can Ai Jia believe it at will? Is there no relationship at all?”

Duke Lu’s eyes shrank suddenly, and said in fear: “Empress Dowager, please check . This minister’s loyalty to Ye Country and the emperor is true!”

“If that’s the case, good . Ai Jia will give you a chance . ”

Everyone was shocked when Zhang Sunshi said this . Feng Tingye narrowed his eyes dangerously, but he didn’t say anything . He understood that his mother looked amiable and approachable, but when she really had to be tough, her ruthless tactics could be superior to young people like them .

Duke Lu looked up at Zhang Sunshi: “Empress Dowager...”

Zhang Sunshi gave him a slanted look, her eyes full of royal dignity and nobility . There was a trace of disdain for the person in front of her . “Since Duke Lu said that he is loyal to the Ye Nation and the emperor, Ai Jia will give you a chance to show your loyalty . Ai Jia can let Ting Er put your granddaughter as empress, but Ai Jia is worried about your Huo family . You should also know the saying of riding on someone else’s success . If your granddaughter becomes a queen, it is inevitable that some people will have some thoughts that should not be had . Once this kind of thought grows, it will easily endanger our country . So, in order to prevent it from happening and to be on guard, Ai Jia will have to extinguish the spark . If you want the emperor to establish your granddaughter, that can happen as long as you agree to allow Ai Jia to issue an edict for the Huo family . Everyone other than your granddaughter...will be executed . ”

“!” As soon as this word came out, the hall was silent .

Feng Tingye sighed: Sure enough, ginger is spiciest when it’s older!

Xia Yuqing looked at Zhang Sunshi’s domineering side, a completely different appearance from usual . Her eyes sparkled . She really is worthy of being the noblest ancestor in this palace, the great originator, queen fighter! At this moment, Xia Yuqing finally understood where Liu Yixiang’s worship and inheritance of the queen came from! Your Majesty, please let me hug your thighs!

The smiles on the faces of Duke Lu and Huo Feiyan froze completely . They stared at Zhang Sunshi with pale faces and knelt to the ground with a thump: “I ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness . This minister can guarantee with his life the people of the Huo family will definitely not do anything that will endanger the kingdom of Ye and endanger the emperor . ”

Zhang Sunshi stared at his slender fingers that were properly maintained, a lazy villainous enchantment similar to Feng Tingye exuded all over her body . Xia Yuqing’s eyes lit up again . “Use your own life as a guarantee? You are a seventy-eighty-year-old man . There are only a few years left to live . The period of your life guarantee is too short . ”

Duke Lu’s face was blue and he opened his mouth to speak, but was beaten by Zhang Sunshi again: “What’s more, only dead people are the safest in this world . ”

“...” Duke Lu was shocked . His face turned white and green . The price of exchanging the entire family for one honoured position is too great!

His original intention was not like this . As Zhang Sunshi expected, his original purpose was to use Huo Feiyan’s one-person honour to return to the court . However, this intention was seen through and has become the sharp blade that pierced the chest of Duke Lu, but he couldn’t pull out this sharp blade .

“Have you considered it properly?” Zhang Sunshi had just finished admiring Duke Lu’s brilliant expression before asking .

“Chen...”

Duke Lu hesitated . Huo Feiyan also recovered from the initial shock . She suddenly stood up and wanted to pounce on Zhang Sunshi, but was blocked by the guards who had expected it .

“You...how can you say such a cruel thing? How can you destroy my clan so casually, killing them just like that? The queen’s position should be mine, mine . You will definitely be retributed for this!” Huo Feiyan struggled and screamed at Zhang Sunshi .

Zhang Sunshi sneered: “With this kind of conduct, you still want to be the master of my harem? Only if Ai Jia’s soul dissipates, otherwise it will be hovering over the palace for a hundred years later, making you uneasy!”

“...” Xia Yuqing was stunned . F**k, the queen was blackened! This awesome threatening remark is really... so cool! If this moron doesn’t quickly retreat, they will be blasted into dregs!

Sure enough, Huo Feiyan was frightened by Zhang Sunshi and Duke Lu’s face was also very ugly .
