Zuo Xiang's eyes were full of despair and resentment, his lips subconsciously squirmed twice, but he didn't dare to say a word, and his clenched fist finally hung down at his side. He bowed to the ground in despair, but his trembling body seemed to suddenly have the strength to fight, and he knelt up like crazy and kept kowtowing!

"Hey, who is this old guy doing a show for?" Qi Qi Xiaozheng hummed disdainfully, this family is so bad! As a father, he wants to put the Rui Wangfu to death in every way, and when his daughter can't get along with the master everywhere, he takes the bait with a little trick and says all the dirty thoughts in his heart.

Qu Junyan had long expected this scene at the banquet, but the object had changed. From the very beginning, Qu Junyan gave Jin Yingying the task of waiting for an opportunity to provoke the emotions of these princes and nobles, and to use potions when necessary.

It's just that she didn't expect it to return to her in the end. I don't know if it's good luck or a cycle of cause and effect......

She had been squatting in the library for several days, reading a lot of potion books in her spare time, and at first she planned to prepare for the upcoming alchemist major, but in the end, she found something interesting......

Hinting at the potion, this medicine is not a poison, but it can affect people's emotions, dig into the dark side of people's hearts, and vent the heart that is trying to restrain themselves, and the slightest little spearhead will be infinitely amplified under the effect of the medicine. The effect of the medicine is very short-lived, and after venting the emotions, only a certain amount of stimulation is needed to make the effect of the medicine disappear immediately, and the person will immediately regain consciousness.

This treasure was found by Qu Junyan in a potion box in the Treasure Pavilion according to the annotations in the book.

It's just that although Gao Lingyue prides herself on being seamless, the only thing she didn't expect is that this bottle of medicine is based on the sense of smell. As early as when the lid was opened, everything that happened next was doomed, Gao Lingyue planted a time bomb in his body with his own hands, and with the catalyst of Qu Junyan's Blurry Curse Technique, the seeds of evil began to take root in an instant. The inner line of defense collapsed, the spiritual world was controlled by the ** in the heart, and it was only a matter of time before it fell into the abyss!

The corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and the coldness in his eyes was in the same world, and the two extremes were hidden in a person, an angel and a demon!

She said that those who dare to fight the idea of Rui Wangfu will definitely pay the price!

"He's not making a show, he's planning to fight one last time, the battle of the trapped beasts!" Qu Junyan's eyes flashed with a cruel smile, and his slender jade fingers brushed the wine glass. Tiger poison still does not eat children, Zuo Xiang can replace these charges for the queen mother, but he can't watch his children die in front of him.

The wine glass fell on the table, and the hoarse voice of the left minister rose in response.

"I beg the Queen Mother to spare Lingyue this time, she will definitely not dare next time!" Zuo Xiang kowtowed one after another, and blood had already come out of the corner of his forehead, leaving blood stains on the smooth marble.

However, the Queen Mother didn't want to pay attention to Zuo Xiang's plea for mercy at all, "Drag this guy who doesn't know what to do and pull out his tongue for me, since the Prime Minister is reluctant to teach her the rules on weekdays, then only the mourning family will do it himself and tell her about the use of the tongue." ”

Before Gao Lingyue could recover from the Queen Mother's words, she was already picked up by the man!

"The Queen Mother!" As soon as he saw Gao Lingyue being picked up, Zuo Xiang's heart was lifted.

"Your good daughter has sinned against the mourning family! Do you have an opinion on punishing her? The Queen Mother sneered and looked at Zuo Xiang, Zuo Xiang stiffened violently, his open mouth kept trembling faintly, and he could hear the sound of teeth colliding.

"The Queen Mother! I know wrong! Yue'er really knew that she was wrong! Gao Lingyue, who was picked up, suppressed without the power to resist, but where would she care about the pain in her body, hearing the punishment of the Queen Mother's aunt for herself, she only felt cold hands and feet, and could only plead loudly.

"Father save me...... Auntie, Yue'er doesn't want to die......" and Lord An's mournful cry surrounded the main hall, and the trembling voice was full of fear.

She knew that she was wrong, she really knew that she was wrong, she didn't expect Qu Junyan to actually hug the thigh of a divine beast! Just what she did today was enough to give the divine beast a reason to kill her...... Gao Lingyue's face was like ashes, if she had known that this was the case, she would definitely understand where the Queen Mother's intention to win over Qu Junyan came from, and she would have tried her best to get her forgiveness!

It's a pity that it's too late now, she not only continued to fight against Qu Junyan, but also revealed her father's viciousness towards the Rui Wangfu! Gao Lingyue herself didn't know why Fang Cai couldn't restrain herself like that, and would say such a thing.

It's a pity that her plea didn't win the mercy of the Queen Mother, and she waved her hand to signal the masked man in black to take the person away. Zuo Xiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, knelt on the ground and hugged the legs of the man in black, and wailed:

"The Queen Mother! It's a minister! It's all old ministers who are ashamed of their trust in the emperor and openly murder dissidents! Because of his disagreement with Wang Shuxiang and Li Shangshu, he was blinded by power for a while, and more than 100 of his lives were harmed! It was the minister who was resentful of the regent's family, and made it difficult everywhere to kill them all! Don't hesitate to recruit troops to compete with it! Everything is the minister's fault, it is the minister who has betrayed the trust of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for Lingyue's meritorious report, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will still be hidden in the dark by the minister! Your Majesty is above, the guilty minister Gao Wu is unforgivable, please see that for the sake of many years of dedicated assistance, only one minister will be punished, and the innocent must not be implicated! ”

Zuo Xiang wailed with tears in a hoarse voice, although he was saying that he was asking for the little emperor, he looked at the Queen Mother with pleading eyes, and let the blood at the corners of his forehead slide across the corners of his eyes.

"Father......" Gao Lingyue said in disbelief.

"Shut up for me. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the guilty minister is willing to surrender to the law! ”

The Queen Mother slowly returned to her seat and sat down, the corners of her mouth hooked up a triumphant smile, she supported her head with one hand, and looked at the Zuo Xiang kneeling on the ground without mercy in her eyes, "Since Cheng confessed to his crime, then the Lord of He'an County can also be regarded as a meritorious report, but this crime of poisoning VIPs ......"

pretended to be angry and reprimanded a few words such as negative imperial favor, and the queen mother turned to look at Qu Junyan, and the distress in her eyes could be pinched out.

Qu Junyan was not good at the whole person with that look, and the corners of his mouth twitched, if this person is modern, he will not be blind to this acting skill even if he is an Oscar-winning statuette!

Zuo Xiang seemed to be relieved, kowtowed a few times, climbed to Qu Junyan's feet with his hands and feet, and said tremblingly: "Miss Qu, it is the old man who teaches his daughter no way, and he almost caused Miss Qu to be in danger, and the old man is here to kowtow to you to make amends." ”

Qu Junyan didn't want to see more of his hypocritical acting skills, and accepted Zuo Xiang's apology without smiling. Maybe it's unbearable, Zuo Xiang and Qu Rui are the same age, the two have been fighting in this court for half their lives, and now they have to kowtow to her for the sake of their children's debts, which is really embarrassing.

However, Qu Junyan is not the kind of person who is casual and soft-hearted. I am a knife, I have to cut the grass to the roots, sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to himself, don't look at him can kowtow now to make amends, once this kind of person has a chance to turn over, he will definitely bite off a piece of your flesh.

Human nature is always the thing that cannot withstand temptation.

"Okay, put the prime minister in prison and wait for the fate, the day of the birthday banquet was so unlucky. Lingyue, you should also get up first, today's merits and demerits are offset, I won't pursue it, you can do it yourself. ”

Gao Lingyue was silent for a moment before she said, "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”

She got up, silently retreated to her place, and never said a word again. On the marble floor, the red blood stains were still bright red, mixed with a hint of blood in the sweet aroma of wine in the hall.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded as if nothing had happened.

With a smile on her face, the Queen Mother looked at Qu Junyan on the side, "Miss Qu, don't be distracted by this unsightly distraction, come, I will toast you." ”

Qu Junyan lightly raised his wine glass and took a sip.

"The agreement I made with Miss Qu before, I also hope that Miss Qu can consider it, and at the same time, I hope that Miss Qu will not care about all kinds of things in the past, and if there is any neglect, I hope that Miss Qu Haihan." The Queen Mother seemed to have no memory of what had just happened in the hall, and her face was like a flower.

Qu Junyan naturally knows what the Queen Mother's little abacus is thinking, no matter whether she agrees to be the queen or not, the Queen Mother has nothing to lose, and at the same time, she can also take the opportunity to eliminate the misunderstanding between Qu Junyan and her, killing two birds with one stone.

However, although he was not interested in this throne, he did not intend to explain too much, "I will consider it carefully." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, she didn't believe that there would be any woman in this world who could resist the double temptation of power and glory. Little Emperor Jun is just a pawn that can still be used by her, she doesn't care about Qu Junyan's reputation, as long as she can use these chips to achieve her goals, it is enough.

With a loving smile, the Queen Mother looked at the little emperor and said: "I want to come to Miss Qu's age, and I don't like the dullness of this palace banquet, Zhuo'er, don't you have already fallen in love with Miss Qu's beauty, you must have a good life to entertain Miss Qu!" I'm afraid she doesn't like this song and dance, you just take her to take a walk in the imperial garden, and there are just newly cultivated ylang-ylang flowers this year. ”

The Queen Mother's sudden proposal made the people in the palace banquet stunned for a while, first Qu Junyan rejected His Majesty's invitation, and now why didn't the Queen Mother open which pot to mention, and then proposed to let His Majesty take Qu Junyan to the imperial garden for a walk?

The little emperor looked at Qu Junyan timidly, and unexpectedly Qu Junyan did not refuse, but got up and bowed to Qu Rui slightly, nodded and agreed to the queen mother's proposal. The court officials in the palace banquet had their own concerns about the Queen Mother's approach, but only some women on the west side who were not deeply involved in the world secretly envied the Queen Mother's "preference" for Qu Junyan.

The emperor's birthday banquet was even worried about whether she was a boring guest, and let the little emperor, who was the host of the birthday banquet, accompany Qu Junyan to walk around, what an honor it must be!

The little emperor blushed shyly like a young man who had just fallen in love, and led Qu Junyan out of the palace banquet with a twist.
