Chapter 237: The Empress's Ambition
Green Lotus never thought that he would fall into such a fate until he died.
She had imagined a different future, she had thought that she had taken the position next to that adult, and she had also thought that although she did not have a position, at least she would not live this kind of subservient life in this life.
But now, she will live forever and forever in this cold and damp ancient well, and sleep here with those equally miserable women.
The mysterious man just leaned over the ancient well, his expression was not wavering, and he left far away, this place, I am afraid that there will be no chance to come here again.
And the people of the Blood Cherry Pavilion, covering their wounds all the way, concealed the patrolling forbidden army in the palace, and rushed back in the direction of Fengxi Palace.
The queen and Duan Cheng had been waiting in Fengxi Palace for a long time, but they didn't have any anxious looks on their faces, but instead tasted tea calmly, as if they were just for tea.
"When did this green lotus betray his mother, why is there no warning at all?" Duan Cheng put down the teacup and said with a frown.
"Hmph, Bengong has already found some clues, I just think that Green Lotus is a little strange, but Bengong only thinks that she is because she is lonely and the guards in the palace can't figure it out, I didn't expect her to dare to betray Bengong!" The queen snorted coldly, and put the teacup down, and the tea in the cup spilled out and splashed all around.
Duan Cheng glanced at the queen suspiciously, "Oh? Why don't you tell me about it? ”
"There is a little less Shunzi soup in the medicinal herb warehouse of this palace, and this palace doesn't know about it, but when Green Lotus came to report to this palace, it was still seen by this palace." The queen snorted coldly.
Duan Cheng was silent for a while, and he didn't say anything to the queen, so he just sat in place and didn't know what to think.
"Master." The secret guard of the Blood Sakura Pavilion appeared behind the Empress and Duan Cheng, and it seemed that he had come in through the window.
"Coming back?" The queen turned around, looked at the man's appearance, and frowned, "How did you get this look?" ”
The man approached the queen and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see that the queen's expression became strange, and finally became a little annoyed and angry.
"You mean that you haven't found anything, and you've been made like this? What about the green lotus? The queen was obviously very annoyed, and immediately slapped the man.
"Green Lotus, dead." The man knelt down with a thud, "The subordinates are incompetent, and I ask the master to punish him." ”
"Get down and be punished." The queen gave a cold order, and did not look at him.
That person is also obedient, obviously the secret guard that the queen has cultivated since childhood.
Duan Cheng glanced at the dark guard and sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything else.
The queen looked at her brother, her expression was not strange, she just felt that Duan Cheng was not ruthless enough.
After all, the real ruthlessness is to attack yourself.
People are selfish, for their own interests, naturally the first to defend, if others hurt their own interests, even if it is to hurt themselves, such a thing is not allowed to happen.
"Brother, sometimes, what to do is necessary, if you still look like a kind-hearted house, there is no way to achieve great things." The queen sighed and said to Duan Chengdao.
Duan Cheng frowned, he had already heard his ears calloused by his sister's preaching, but although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he still didn't say anything to refute in the end, "Got it." ”
The queen also knew that no matter how much she said, Duan Cheng would still not listen to some words, after all, she also knew her brother quite well, if Duan Cheng was unwilling to do it, he would not do it anyway.
"That's it, whatever you want." The queen still compromised, just waved her hand and said nothing else.
Seeing this, Duan Cheng didn't plan to stay any longer, after all, he didn't have much to say to the queen. Just saluted the queen and wanted to leave.
"Slow down, brother, there is still something to discuss with my brother in this palace." The queen stopped Duan Cheng.
"What's the matter?" Duan Cheng looked at the queen, thought about it and said, "But it's Zhilan's matter." ”
The queen nodded, "Yes, at this time, it's time for Zhilan to marry Yu'er, this time we don't need to interfere, just see what happens to Nan Xuanjue." ”
"In this case, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have some thoughts in his heart? After all, if we do this, we are only afraid that His Highness will ......" Duan Cheng hesitated for a moment and expressed his concerns in his heart.
"This matter has nothing to do with Duan Xi, if we interfere, it will not be conducive to acting in the DPRK in the future, and secondly, we can take advantage of this opportunity to frustrate Yu'er's spirit, so that he will be willing to listen to us." The queen's tone was flat, as if she was not talking about her son.
"Niangniang, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, I'm afraid that he will complain about us......." Duan Cheng sighed, no matter what, Nan Xuanyu is the only son of the queen, if he does this, it will only make Nan Xuanyu disgusted with them even more.
"Only you know about this matter, there is no third person, brother, what are you afraid of? Why are you always afraid now, do you think that we will have a way back? The queen looked at Duan Cheng's appearance, and she was also a little annoyed.
Duan Cheng also couldn't hold his breath, and he didn't want to do this, but if it weren't for "him", he would have let it out now. But in the end, Duan Cheng couldn't quarrel with the queen, how to say that the queen is also his own pillar, and the two of them are in the same boat, so naturally they won't say anything.
Duan Cheng seemed to have two villains fighting in his mind, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, since my mother has said so, it's not easy for me, as an elder brother, to say anything." So I went back to prepare, and secretly went to prepare for Zhilan's dowry. ”
Only then did the queen show a smile, this time, she just let Nan Xuanyu have no chance to refuse.
As long as he marries Duan Zhilan logically, Nan Xuanyu will be more obedient to his words, and when the time comes, isn't this world of Dayu the Duan family's?
The queen looked at Duan Cheng and said with a smile: "That's right." Brother, you must know that in this way, it will only be good for us, although it is true that some risks have been taken, but in the end, the benefits will be the greatest. ”
Duan Cheng looked at the queen's lustful appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, they have gained enough over the years, if she can brake the car, it can be regarded as stable. But now that she is becoming more and more radical, I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing for the Duan family.
