Chapter 343: Fake Compromise
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held grandly, everyone in the palace went to the hall to watch the excitement, and all the guards were also arranged in the hall, and such a remote place as the backyard was naturally ignored. Mu Xiwan pretended to be casual on the surface, but in his heart he was vigilant. Sure enough, Mu Xiwan soon heard the surrounding movements.
The queen's sudden invitation was already strange, and coupled with her mention of the identity of the secret agent, Mu Xiwan felt more and more that the queen had a purpose in meeting her. But the queen didn't speak, and she didn't take the initiative to ask, so Mu Xiwan asked questions patiently, and continued to talk to the queen with a good temper.
"It's too late, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why do you have to be so angry." The queen took a few steps forward and took off the hairpin on her head and gave it to Mu Xiwan.
Mu Xiwan was stunned in place, she didn't like people beating around the bush, but the person in front of her was the queen, and now she sent people under the fence, so for the sake of safety, she had to be patient and consume with the queen.
"The queen is still so beautiful, it's really enviable." Mu Xiwan subconsciously took a few steps back, she clenched the hairpin in her hand, trying to find some security.
The queen came prepared, Mu Xiwan couldn't confirm how many people were ambushed around, and in the face of such a situation, Mu Xiwan didn't dare to act rashly, if she really had an accident, I was afraid that her daughter would also be in danger.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I won't tell anyone about it." The queen's tone was flat, and there was still a smile on her face.
Mu Xiwan clenched her fists, and she stared directly at the queen, for fear of missing a little change in the queen's expression. The identity of the spy has always been a taboo in her heart, and now she has married Prince Darong and become the crown princess, she has long lost interest in those things that fight and kill, she just wants to live a stable life, the queen still found her again, Mu Xiwan is unwilling to do things for the queen, and she dare not refuse when she is in danger.
The queen looked at Mu Xiwan without changing her face, after fighting in the harem for so many years, the queen's temperament gradually calmed down, and she would not have the slightest panic about Mu Xiwan's gaze.
"Okay, I promise the queen." After a while, Mu Xiwan nodded and agreed, in order not to let the queen notice the problem, Mu Xiwan pretended to think before making a compromise.
Hearing Mu Xiwan's answer, the queen smiled contentedly, Mu Xiwan is a smart person and knows the general situation, such a woman is not only liked by Qi Chengan, but also appreciated.
"Am I too serious, did I scare you?" The queen took Mu Xiwan's hand and looked at her kindly.
"No, no, it's that I'm too nervous." Mu Xiwan hurriedly explained that she wanted to leave the backyard immediately and return to the front hall, but the queen didn't open her mouth to let her go, and she had no suitable excuse to leave.
The hall is very lively, in order to please the queen mother, the emperor has prepared a lot of programs, the palace that is well-behaved on weekdays suddenly became lively, and the palace people also relaxed, everyone frolicked together in groups, and no one noticed the lights in the backyard.
"Let's go see the performance, I heard that the emperor also arranged an exotic dance today." After the queen finished speaking, she walked in the direction of the hall, and did not say a word about the arrangement of Mu Xiwan.
Mu Xiwan followed behind the queen in a daze, she walked and looked around at the same time, obviously she heard movement around her, but now everything is happening, Mu Xiwan felt that it was too wrong, the queen painstakingly arranged a one, how could she let her leave so easily?
"Ahh The queen screamed and fell to the ground in fright, and Mu Xiwan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Queen Mother, are you alright?" Mu Xiwan bent over to wipe the dust on the queen's clothes, and she didn't care at all in the face of the queen's disgrace.
The queen pushed Mu Xiwan away, looked at her with wide eyes, and said in shock: "There are two corpses over there, I didn't have them when I came, everyone is playing in the hall, there will be no other murderer except you." You're really ruthless, you're going to kill me next. ”
"The queen's mother is a clear man, Xi Wan didn't kill anyone," Mu Xiwan hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, the queen's approach was full of loopholes, Mu Xiwan instantly understood the meaning of the queen's doing, the queen was suspicious by nature, in order to make herself feel at ease, she had done a lot of harmful things, and today's two corpses must have been arranged by the queen, and the queen just wanted to threaten herself with fake evidence.
"It's really not you?" The queen's face was pale, and she was too frightened to be weak, and she collapsed on the ground.
If she didn't know something about the queen, Mu Xiwan would probably believe that she was really afraid, since the queen wanted to act, then she was willing to accompany the queen to act.
"Niang Niang, help you up at night, don't catch a cold." Mu Xiwan stepped forward tentatively and felt relieved after confirming that the queen did not reject her. The queen looked at Mu Xiwan, and her deep eyes revealed an indescribable feeling, "Xiwan, I'm sorry just now, I misunderstood you." I'm afraid I'm not fit to go to the hall, so sit with me. ”
"Okay." Mu Xiwan agreed without hesitation, she could only face it.
"Sorry late, aren't you curious about why I'm looking for you?" The queen asked deliberately, she wanted to know what Mu Xiwan was thinking, she wanted to control Mu Xiwan.
Mu Xiwan despised the queen, the queen's approach was really ridiculous, rather than being subtle in every way, it was better to say it directly. The queen was unwilling to show her true colors, and decided to strike preemptively.
"Niangniang is looking for a late time, so naturally there is an arrangement. Niangniang is kind, but unfortunately I can't help but remind Niangniang that Qi Cheng'an's power in the DPRK and China should not be underestimated, and he is a great threat to Niangniang. ”
Staying in Beiyan, although Mu Xiwan does not often go out, she is still very clear about the changes in the imperial court, the queen is bent on fighting for the throne for the prince, but the biggest stumbling block on the road to the crown prince is Qi Cheng'an, the queen is inconvenient to make her own move, on the surface of the mother, behind the scenes arranged a lot of things to run Qi Cheng'an.
"Sorry for the night, why do you say that, I see that you and Qi Cheng'an are very close." The queen didn't know the truth or falsehood of what Mu Xiwan said, she only believed the scene she saw with her own eyes, Mu Xiwan was in Beiyan, but Qi Cheng'an had been taking care of her, and Mu Xiwan was also with Qi Cheng'an when she entered the palace on weekdays, and she suddenly said that Qi Cheng'an was a threat, which was really unbelievable.
"It's the princess of Darong, this time I came to Beiyan and was forcibly brought by Qi Cheng'an, if it wasn't for Qi Cheng'an's coercion, how could the husband and wife be separated." Mu Xiwan's tone was angry, and when he mentioned the words 'Qi Cheng'an', he deliberately accentuated his tone.
"Aren't you friends with Qi Cheng'an? I remember you had a close relationship. The queen asked, everything in the palace is risky, and the queen must always be on guard just in case.
"He also knows the identity of the secret agent in Xiwan, Qi Cheng'an is a big threat to you or Xiwan, it is better to solve him in advance." Mu Xiwan proposed.
