Qiu Yutang was shocked when he realized that he had such a mentality. Li Yang intended to murder the imperial concubine and kidnap the princess, which was extremely treasonous. But not only did he not stand up to expose it, but he also expected Li Yang to succeed?
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. No matter what, Li Yang had a very charming personality. It was not surprising that millions of soldiers in the Shanhe Army regarded him as a god and quietly influenced him.
However, this idea is really unacceptable.
He was deeply favored by the emperor, so he should draw a clear line between Li Yang and vow to be incompatible with each other. He should also take control of the Shanhe Army and kill Li Yang's rebels as his own responsibility. If Li Yang is not eliminated, he will be in great trouble in the future. He feels that he has already rebelled.
Chu Tianpeng, the Northern Marquis of Saibei Town, is not as dangerous as Li Yang.
"Lord Qiu, are you staring at me to reprimand me?"
Hu Qiuyan asked, only to think that she poured boiling water on Li Yang, which made Qiu Yutang dissatisfied.
"Wei Chen does not dare and has absolutely no intention of doing so.
"Qiu Yutang withdrew his gaze, too lazy to show off to a woman who was showing off her power even when she was about to die. Besides, he didn't care about Li Yang's life or death. It would be best to burn this traitor to death! Hu Qiuyan smiled coldly and glanced at Zhu Wen from the corner of her eye.
Yu, seeing that Zhu Wenyu was just chatting with a few princes and important officials, he felt even more confident.
"Xiaoxiao, go and get a pot of boiling water for me."
Hu Qiuyan ordered.
"yes."
The palace maid Xiaoxiao responded and stepped forward to get boiled water.
"Mother, please don't, I really can't bear the pain. I beg your mercy."
Li Yang quickly raised his head and said softly.
"Hey, beg me?"
"Weren't you very capable in the dungeon before? With the support of Concubine Xi and the Crown Princess, you were able to trick me. But today, they won't care about you. You can only bear with me. Wait.
Boiled water is brought here, but you must be patient. If you cry out in pain and disrupt the order of the birthday banquet, I will order someone to pull you out and chop you!"
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you go quickly?"
Hu Qiuyan said coldly, with a proud look on her face. She was a noble concubine. She dropped her cup and burned a slave. Who dares to say three or four? Who dares?
"Empress, just go around me. I won't dare to do it again."
Li Yang said again, "I, I still have some abilities, otherwise the Crown Princess and Concubine Xi would not be able to favor me and treat me differently. If you let me go, I will definitely work for you in the future and be loyal to you."
"It's not impossible to get around you."
Hu Qiuyan sneered, "But what ability can you, a eunuch, have, and I need you to do things for me?"
Haha, this Li Yang is really ridiculous, he really takes himself seriously.
"My little brain is still pretty flexible. Madam, please stop scalding me with boiling water. The Queen Mother may come over at any time. The Queen Mother is a believer in Buddhism. She doesn't like concubines in the harem bullying slaves and doesn't treat slaves as human beings!"
"
Li Yang reminded.
"My dear, what he said makes sense. He is just a slave. You can deal with him whenever you want. There is no rush now."
Xiaoxiao followed closely with the admonishment.
"Okay, then I'll bypass you for now."
Hu Qiuyan looked at Li Yang and said, "Does this mean you have a brain?
If you can’t hurry up and prove your abilities, I still won’t let you go after the banquet!”
"Empress, you had a dispute with Concubine Xi before. Although the Emperor did not reprimand you, he was quite dissatisfied with you. I suggest you that when the Queen Mother comes later, you personally get a glass of juice for the Crown Princess and give it to the Crown Princess!
"
Li Yang encouraged with clever words: "The Crown Princess cannot drink alcohol while she is pregnant. It is most appropriate for you to send juice. Although this is a small thing, the details show your character. This is enough to change the Emperor's impression of you. The Emperor will definitely think that you are attentive and easy-going."
, and the Queen Mother will definitely be happy, because the Queen Mother is older and the most important heir is!"
There are only drinks on all tables, and there are no drinks. The drinks are stored in the public area on the side and can be taken by yourself.
"This..." Hu Qiuyan hesitated when she heard this. She also wanted to do as Li Yang said so as to make a good impression in front of the emperor and the queen mother, but she couldn't help it. After all, Zhou Xue didn't have a close relationship with her.
Harmony.
"My Lady, you see how often Concubine Xi comes to do things. Just one sentence can make the Emperor highly praise her. We really need to learn from it. Li Yang's suggestion is not bad. You do it. There is no suspicion of deliberate performance. Emperor
Queen Mother Yu will definitely be happy too!"
Xiaoxiao agreed.
"Well, that'll be fine."
Hu Qiuyan finally softened her expression and said, "Li Yang, you are a good boy. You are indeed quite clever. Don't follow Concubine Xi from now on. Just scout me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It was all arranged by Your Majesty. I stood up to protect Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi did send me to you. She didn't take me seriously. I don't want to serve as a scout for such a master. I feel so heartbroken."
Li Yang looked aggrieved, but sneered secretly in his heart.
"very good."
Hu Qiuyan nodded with satisfaction.
About five minutes later, there was a call outside the door: "The Queen Mother has arrived."
"Welcome to the Queen Mother."
Everyone stood up and bowed to salute, even the emperor Zhu Wenyu was no exception.
Queen Mother Duanmu Shujie is a ruthless character. She has already reached the realm of Martial Emperor as early as sixty years ago. There are different opinions on how high her cultivation level is now. There are even speculations that Duanmu Shujie has reached the realm of half-step Martial God.
In addition, when Zhu Wenyu was young, she listened to the government behind the curtain, took charge of the court, and fought with the four auxiliary ministers in battles of wits and courage. Later, when Zhu Wenyu officially ascended the throne at the age of 18, he also designed and killed the four auxiliary ministers to serve as the main text.
Yu paved the way for ascending to the throne.
Although Duanmu Shujie is now over one hundred and fifty years old, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are respectful and fearful of everyone. Emperor Wu has a long life span and can live for five hundred years. Although she is old, she is still full of energy and her steps are very steady.
.
"Empress Huang, please take a seat. My son will be standing next to you to look after you."
Zhu Wenyu bowed and said respectfully.
"How can this be done? It's true that you are my son, but you are also the master of my Tianwu Continent and the supreme emperor. Just give my old woman a seat under your head."
Duanmu Shujie said indifferently, her tone noncommittal.
"Then my son listened to the Queen Mother and brought the phoenix chair for the Queen Mother!"
Zhu Wenyu did not hesitate and gave orders to everyone around him.
After Duanmu Shujie sat down, she glanced at the princes and ministers sitting in the front row: "Hey, why didn't Lao Qi and Wang Zhangxuan come over?"
"Your Majesty, the Seven Kings and Wang Shangshu are going to the north to quell the chaos and intimidate the Zhenbei Army. I have always been in the north, but on your birthday, I will dare to come back no matter what.
"Hu Yidao replied with a smile on his face. On the surface, he was explaining to the Seven Kings and Wang Zhangxuan, but in fact, he was reminding the Queen Mother that he was different from the Seven Kings and Wang Zhangxuan who were also fighting the chaos in Saibei.
"Look, look, Mr. Hu still takes my old lady seriously."
Duanmu Shujie first praised, and then said, "Of course, that boy Lao Qi and Wang Zhangxuan are not disrespecting my old woman. They are trying to calm the chaos for the court and stick to the front line. In the final analysis, Chu Tianpeng, a rebellious minister and traitor, has to be blamed. I
No matter how tough the Saibei army is, today my old woman said something, I will see the heads of Chu Tianpeng’s family within three months.”
"Old minister, I will try my best."
"I will also find a way."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and responded carefully.
Li Yang couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this. He had already planned to send someone to send a message to Saibei to warn them after the birthday banquet was over.
"Okay, today is my old woman's birthday. We won't discuss military affairs. I'd like to propose a toast to you all. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and congratulate me, this old woman, on her birthday. You all filled up the wine for me. No one can
Stop being slippery!"
Duanmu Shujie smiled lightly.
Everyone was pouring wine, and the quilt was overflowing. Zhou Xue was no exception. Even when the Queen Mother spoke, she did not dare to disobey her orders. The Queen Mother kept calling her an old woman, but she was indeed majestic. At first glance, she was not a good person. If she relied on "pregnancy"
"If you do something special, you might get scolded.
Just when everyone was about to drink together, a female voice suddenly sounded.
"Princess, put the cup down quickly. How can you drink when you are pregnant?"
Hu Qiuyan said, then walked quickly to the public area on high heels, poured a glass of juice, and placed it in front of Zhou Xue, "Princess, you drink juice. Drinking juice is so nutritious!"
Zhou Xue couldn't help but be surprised, why did Concubine Hua suddenly care about her?
Hu Qiuyan did not wait for Zhou Xue's response and returned.
"My lord, how did you arrange it? How can I put wine on my granddaughter-in-law's table?"
Duanmu Shujie's face darkened and she asked.
"Your Majesty, don't blame the Emperor. It's all my fault. I was negligent."
Zhang Hua knelt down, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
"Empress Huang, Zhang Hua is responsible for preparing the birthday banquet, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent. I hope that Emperor Empress will take a lenient sentence in consideration of the fact that he has been scouting his son for many years."
Zhu Wenyu also spoke.
"That's all, thanks to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua is attentive and values our royal family's children."
Duanmu Shujie said, "In the future, you should go to Concubine Hua's place more often. Don't let Concubine Hua stay alone in the empty room all the time. Concubine Hua is a nice person!"
"well."
Zhu Wenyu responded repeatedly and cast approving glances at Hu Qiuyan.
Hu Qiuyan felt so beautiful that she almost laughed out loud.
"Granddaughter-in-law, just drink the juice. I, an old woman, have nothing to be afraid of. As long as you give birth to a grandson for me, you will be my old woman's benefactor. Come on, let's raise a glass."
Duanmu Shujie raised her glass again.
Like everyone else, Zhou Xue raised the cup. Because the cup was too full, it accidentally overflowed. A small amount of juice dripped on the table, and black smoke erupted from the table.
Ah Fu was the first to see it. He was startled at first, and then said hurriedly: "You can't drink it, this juice is poisonous!"
What?
The whole audience was stunned and their expressions were frozen...
