Outside the Suzaku Hall in the Suzaku Imperial Palace, the ministers left one after another, and some were whispering.

"Why didn't Her Majesty come to the morning court today?"

"That's right, Her Majesty the Empress hasn't come to the morning court for three days."

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know, anyway, it won't be because men don't go to the early dynasty."

"That's right, our majesty is not a man, and there is only one in the harem."

"That maybe, Her Royal Highness the Queen of Feng's stunning immortal resources, how can you say that our majesty is not a good man, if I have such a fairy-like husband, I don't want to come to any early dynasty."

"Haha, just like your frustration, you still want to find Her Royal Highness Queen Feng's fairy-like husband, don't dream."

"What's wrong with me, I'm also a third-grade master, even if I don't have such a beautiful husband as His Royal Highness Queen Feng, but my side husbands are not bad."

"Don't make trouble, Her Royal Highness Queen Feng is something I can talk about."

"That's it, back to the topic, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress seems to be sick, so she can't come to the early court, I think it's probably because I'm too worried about Her Royal Highness."

"It's possible, Her Royal Highness has been missing for almost two years, and there is no news at all."

"But no, I also heard that Prince Jing and Qin Zuoxiang have already handed over the fold to the empress to set up another princess."

"Is there such a thing? But isn't there only one queen daughter in Her Majesty, so who should be appointed as the crown princess? ”

"That's not something we can handle." Even if you don't say it, everyone knows it.

"Don't say it, be careful to reach King Jing's ears, we'll be miserable, let's go."

The ministers dispersed in a hurry, and the usual silence returned to the outside of the Suzaku Hall, but who knows what kind of bloody storm will be after the quiet.

......

In the dormitory of the Tongxin Hall of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom Palace, Huangfu Che was feeding Duanmu Xue the last mouthful of medicine, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Cher, you look much better today."

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing asks to see you." Duanmu Xue's personal female officer, Hong Feng, whispered.

Hearing the three words of King Jing, Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue frowned at the same time. Duanmu Xue glanced at Huang Fu Che's reaction for the first time, and when she saw that his brows were frowning slightly, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, let him go back." ”

Hongfeng was just about to go out to reply, but Duanmu Xue's other personal female officer, Hongye, came to report again.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zuo Xiang asks to see you."

"No, no." Duanmu Xue's tone was full of impatience, these people were so annoying that they wouldn't even let her clean up for a moment.

As soon as I finished yelling, I heard a commotion outside.

"The royal sister is sick, this king, who is the royal sister, wants to come to visit, who dares to stop this king......"

Duanmu Xue was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, and slammed the medicine bowl on the low couch to the ground.

"Damn, they dared to trespass into the widow's dormitory."

"Xue'er, don't be angry, I'll go out and have a look." Huang Fuche gently stroked her back.

"Don't go, I hate the way she looks at you. Hmph, Hongfeng helped the widow out, and the widow went to meet her in person. ”

"I'll help you out, I don't feel at ease if you go out alone."

Looking at Huangfu Che's worried eyes, Duanmu Xue had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, but you can't look at her." ”

Huangfu Che pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, and nodded Duanmu Xue's pretty nose: "Don't worry, I don't think you're too late, how can you have the kung fu to look at her." ”

"Prince Xuanjing, Qin Zuoxiang, meet you." Red Maple walked to the door of the hall and sang loudly.

Two people came in from outside the Tongxin Palace, and the one walking in front was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties, dressed in a black brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, her figure was slightly blessed, and a pair of black eyes looked at Huang Fuche obsessively. She is Duanmu Xue's half-sister, Duanmu Shuang.

Walking behind Duanmushuang was a shrewd beautiful woman, in her forties, and from her well-maintained face, you could vaguely see the beauty of her youth. This person is none other than the left minister of the Vermilion Bird Country, Qin Zhen.

"See Her Majesty the Empress, see Her Royal Highness Queen Feng."

"See Her Majesty the Empress, see Her Royal Highness Queen Feng."

As soon as the two came in, they saluted Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che, but Duanmu Xue didn't let them get up.

The air pressure in the Tongxin Hall was very low, and no one dared to make any movement, and even breathed very lightly.

After a cup of tea, Duanmu Xue said leisurely: "Sister Huang and Qin Aiqing are even." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duanmushuang and Qin Zhen stood up as they said, retreated to both sides, and stood with their heads bowed.

"Sister Huang, how can you have time to come to the widow's Tongxin Hall today, and you still happen to come with Qin Aiqing so coincidentally."

Listening to Duanmu Xue's cold voice, Duanmu Shuang broke out in a cold sweat, what did she mean by this?

Also scared into a cold sweat was Qin Zhen, did Her Majesty know something......

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister came to the Tongxin Hall today because he heard that His Majesty was sick and came to visit, as for Lord Zuo, he just happened to meet at the gate of the Tongxin Palace."

Duanmu Xue saw the discomfort of the two of them in her eyes, and she didn't say anything, and directly opened her mouth to drive people away.

"The two Aiqing also saw it, the widow's body is fine, the two Aiqing should please go back."

Duanmu Shuang didn't expect Duanmu Xue to want to drive them away so quickly, so she lowered her head and gestured to Qin Zhen with her eyes.

Qin Zhen received the hint from Duanmu Shuang's eyes, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

"Speak."

"Her Royal Highness has been missing for more than a year, and there is still no news, for the sake of the stability of the country, Weichen asked Your Majesty to set up another princess."

Duanmu Xue's purple eyes narrowed slightly, this old fox really talked about it.

Even Huang Fuche, who has always been mild-mannered, heard the words "another princess", and he exuded a cold chill all over his body.

"Then what kind of person is Aiqing?"

"Weichen thinks that the daughter of King Jing can take on this responsibility."

Duanmu Xue's eyes were blazing, and she turned to Duanmu Shuang on the side.

"Does King Jing think so too?"

Hearing the question, Duanmushuang hurriedly took a step forward and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Don't you dare? What else would you dare? Didn't you just want to break into the widow's dormitory! ”

"The minister is terrified."

"Wechen is terrified."

Both of them knelt down and kowtowed in fear.

"Hmph, the imperial sister seems to have forgotten the family rules set by Emperor Taizu." Duanmu Xue squinted and looked at the two kneeling on the ground with disdain, hum, she wanted to snatch her Xi'er's position as the daughter, no way.

Hearing this, resentment and unwillingness flashed in Duanmushuang's eyes, if it weren't for that damn family rule, the current empress would be herself, and her Qing'er would also be the empress dowager.

"Don't roll yet."

"The minister retired."

"Wechen retired."

Duanmushuang clenched his fists, and unwillingly withdrew from the Tongxin Hall with Qin Zhen.
