The smell of alcohol on the two of them could be smelled from a distance. It was obvious that they had just returned from the banquet. No wonder he had summoned them long ago and it took him so long to enter the palace.
Queen Mother Liu Ning suppressed her anger: "Don't you know what happened today?"
Although the two people opposite her are her elders, she has always been the queen, and now she is the queen mother. There are differences between monarch and minister, so there is no need to be too polite when speaking to them.
"Isn't it just a few short-sighted ministers who wrote a letter criticizing the Queen Mother? Don't worry, we will find some subordinates to impeach those ministers and others for their crimes." Liu Yao smiled nonchalantly.
"Confused!" Liu Ning couldn't suppress the anger in her heart after all, and stood up directly, "Rumors have been spreading in the capital recently, saying that the reinforcements we sent to support the demon clan were ambushed by the demon clan and were annihilated. The key is that we really contacted
Do you really think it is a trivial matter for people to use this to criticize the troops who are not on the front line?"
At this time, Liu Guang also spoke, "Ning'er, I didn't agree with this at the beginning. You are so doting on the person named Zu. You are a majestic queen mother but you listen to him in everything. Who is this great Zhou Dynasty?"
Are you in charge?"
Liu Ning's face darkened when she heard this, "Do you dare to say this in front of him?"
Liu Guang took a breath, thinking about the fate of the Meng family in the capital some time ago, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
At this time, Liu Yao smoothed things over and said, "Ning'er, why are you turning your elbows outward? Yes, the person named Zu is very powerful, but after all, he is not one of our own. We can't completely trust him in many things. Hey, I said it earlier
, I want to find a woman of the right age in the Liu family to marry him, but it’s a pity that you never agree.”
Liu Guang said angrily, "It's easy to say that. His previous wife Chu Chuyan was a well-known beauty, even as popular as Yu Yanluo back then. How can we in the Liu family have such a girl to marry? Don't marry, but it will be the opposite."
It offended people."
Liu Yao smiled coquettishly, "It's a pity that Ning'er is already married and has a special status. Otherwise, she would be more than worthy of someone with the surname Zu."
"Shut up!" Liu Guang glared at his younger brother, could he say such nonsense?
Now that Ning'er is the Queen Mother, how could she be allowed to have anything to do with someone named Zu?
.
"Okay, let's not mention this matter for now!" Liu Ning's face turned red, thinking that you don't have to worry about it, I've already done it.
At this time, Liu Guang said, "Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing that we didn't get married before. Look, this time the demon clan openly ambushed and killed our reinforcements. This bloody feud will definitely last forever from now on. As the regent of the demon clan, the surnamed Zu is.
This time, he is the one who advocated sending reinforcements. He has nothing to do with this matter. He will probably become the biggest traitor in the history of the human race. No matter how strong he is, his reputation will be ruined. It would be good for us to take this opportunity to cut off from him."
Liu Ningfeng raised her eyes, "Don't you understand the situation? I also agreed to this matter at the beginning. In the eyes of outsiders, it was me and the regent who promoted this matter. Otherwise, why would any minister dare to openly impeach me in the court today?"
I!"
"So I want to take the opportunity to cut off the person named Zu," Liu Yao said. "Next, I will stop my confidants and let them mobilize public opinion and blame all this matter on him. The Queen Mother will be deceived.
Then no one will hold you or even our Liu family accountable."
Liu Ning was shocked, "Who said we want to cut off from the Regent? Have you forgotten how terrifying the Regent's cultivation is? Is there anything he can't convince?"
It was not convenient for her to talk about her close relationship with Zu An, so she could only come up with these "reasonable" reasons.
"No matter how high his cultivation level is, can he be the enemy of the entire human race?" Liu Guang was somewhat disapproving, "What's more, according to the intelligence recently received, he seems to have gone to the place where the demon clan is sealed. You need to know the demon clan's seal.
This place is a place where there is a narrow escape from death. He ran there for so long and didn’t come back. It seems that the situation is already in danger."
"Impossible, he will definitely be safe and sound!" Liu Ning immediately stood up and shouted.
Liu Guang and Liu Yao were both surprised and looked at her in confusion.
Liu Ning knew that she had lost her composure and hurriedly said, "With the fighting power that the regent has shown before, even if there is really something
Even in such a dangerous place, he can't be troubled. You'd better not place your bet so easily, lest you offend someone and be irreparable."
"What if we don't do this? Do we really allow those people to criticize our Liu family's decision-making?" Liu Yao was a little dissatisfied. Ever since he was in Mingyue City, he didn't really like Zu An.
It's really unreasonable to have it on your own head.
"Aren't we still afraid that the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth?" Liu Ning said solemnly, "The situation on the front line is unclear now, so don't make a decision easily yet."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Liu Guang and Liu Yao looked at each other, but it was hard to say anything further, "Then I will follow your words for the time being."
At this time, Liu Ning continued, "But the recent wind direction is a bit wrong. I always feel that something will happen. You should be more vigilant these days. Father, you should contact Liu family's confidants more often to observe the trends in the court; uncle, you should send more dispatches."
People are patrolling the capital, and if there is any sign of troop mobilization, you must notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay!" The two agreed and chatted about various upcoming matters before saying goodbye and leaving the palace.
After they left, Eunuch Lu walked into the room, "The two gentlemen seem to be quite dissatisfied with the Regent. Would you like to reveal a little about the relationship between the Queen and the Regent?"
"No need," a trace of fatigue flashed across Liu Ning's face, "whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied, they can't affect the regent at all. By the way, have you checked the information that you were asked to check before?"
"My servant has asked the spies lurking in the demon clan to find out the news about the regent, but so far they have only found out that he entered the sealed land and there is no news that he has come out." Eunuch Lu bowed and replied.
Liu Ning looked worried, "Do you think the regent really had an accident?"
Eunuch Lu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, care will lead to chaos. The Regent has extraordinary skills. Even if all the masters of the demon clan die, the Regent will definitely be able to return safely."
Liu Ning was obviously relieved when she heard his answer, "I hope so."
…
Let’s talk about the two people on the other side leaving the palace.
Finally, Liu Yao couldn't help but said to Liu Guang, "Brother, Ning'er seems to have special trust in the person named Zu. Could it be possible that she likes that guy?"
Liu Guang snorted, "The one named Zu is handsome and young and promising. Ning'er is lonely in the palace, so it's normal for her to fall in love with him. However, as the Queen Mother, she should know better than to make any mistakes."
"
It's no wonder that he was a little dissatisfied. Ever since Zu An became powerful, he had never paid a special visit to him. He made it clear that he looked down on the Liu family. Everyone was not from the same group, so why should they bear criticism with him this time.
"That's true. Ning'er has been sensible since she was a child and can definitely distinguish the important from the important." Liu Yao said with a smile.
"By the way, what Ning'er was worried about just now is not unreasonable. Please keep an eye on it these days. I think neither the Bi family nor King Wu seem to be people who are willing to be mediocre." Liu Guang reminded them before the two of them parted ways.
.
"I know, brother." Liu Yao agreed, thinking that he would just send his men to keep an eye on this matter.
As for himself, of course it's impossible to keep an eye on it. There are so many fun things in the capital city's colorful world. It's hard for him to get to his current position. If he goes to do it himself, wouldn't his hard work back then be in vain?
…
Bai Yujing and Yan Xuehen are meditating in the room. Although they were rescued by Zu An today, her body still needs to be patiently nursed back to health.
She was practicing her skills and refining today's gains, secretly feeling that it was too shameful to be rescued by this kid Zu An.
Various scenes from that time appeared in her mind, and the aura in her body immediately became chaotic, which scared her and she immediately restrained her mind.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zu An's voice sounded outside the door, "Xuehen..."
Yan Xuehen's cheeks suddenly became hot, and she hurriedly said, "I will abide by my promise to you, but not today. I...I can't bear it anymore."
Zu An outside the door "..."
"I just came to say goodbye to you."
"Ah?" Yan Xuehen was so embarrassed that she almost dug out the three bedrooms and one living room on the floor.
