Chapter 107: Shield
The queen carefully examined Mu Qianyan.
If it is really as Du Ruo said, this token is on Mu Qianyan.
Even regardless of whether Mama Gui's death has anything to do with Mu Qianyan.
There is a more important point, what is the relationship between Mu Qianyan and Qin Yue secretly?
Could it be that she colluded with Qin Yue?
Thinking like this, the queen's eyes when she looked at Mu Qianyan were not only suspicious, but also faintly filled with cold killing intent.
If Mu Qianyan can't be used by the prince, then she can't be left!
The queen was moved with murderous thoughts in her heart.
Someone has a killing intent against himself, how can Mu Qianyan not feel it?
She sighed in her heart, this Du Ruoke would really make trouble for her.
At the same time, his face was silent, and he bowed to the queen reverently, "Back to the queen, the courtiers have not seen the token, presumably the side concubine is wrong." ”
As soon as Mu Qianyan opened her mouth, she denied it feverly, and said to herself without hurrying, "Didn't Queen Fang Cai say it? This token is the property of His Royal Highness King Yue, how could the courtiers have seen it?"
Mu Qianyan spoke unhurriedly, looking calm and unhurried, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a murderer.
Generally, when you kill someone, you will panic, be nervous, and have a weak heart, which is the same as being a thief.
But these can't be seen from Mu Qianyan at all.
Hearing that Mu Qianyan didn't admit it, Du Ruo gritted his teeth coldly, hum! What she refused was simply, didn't King Yue always protect her? At the critical moment, Mu Qianyan didn't shift all the blame to King Yue!
I really don't understand what the prince and his brothers have taken a fancy to Mu Qianyan?
Except for that face, apart from the identity of a concubine of the Hou Mansion, what else does she have?
Du Ruo thought angrily.
As everyone knows, whether it is the crown prince or Qin Hanyu, isn't it Mu Qianyan's identity and skin that he is interested in?
Heh, even if she doesn't have anything, but with that skin and identity, isn't it better than everything?
Mu Qian's face was indifferent and calm, and she couldn't see the slightest clue.
But no one knew that she had a strong sense of self-reproach in her heart.
Qin Yue, I'm sorry......
She didn't want to put all the blame on Qin Yue, but... She also couldn't admit that the token was with her.
Once admitted, it will inevitably implicate more troubles, and she doesn't want to involve the Hou Mansion.
Choosing between Qin Yue and Hou Fu, there is no doubt that she will choose the latter.
She protects herself, and she is also protecting the Hou Mansion.
If the queen and Imperial Concubine Wan knew that she had a close relationship with Qin Yue, it would be difficult to guarantee that the woman that the queen and Imperial Concubine Wan would not attack the Hou Mansion first.
If it only affects herself, she can block herself.
But if it will implicate the Hou Mansion, she can't afford to gamble!
After all, if you can't get it, you will destroy it, which is the common purpose of the queen and the princess Wan.
So she could only be sorry for Qin Yue......
She knew she was being selfish and shameless in doing so.
But for some reason, she believed Qin Yue in her heart.
I believe that Qin Yue can handle it, and I believe that he will be fine.
Looking at Mu Qianyan's calm expression, it added a lot of credibility to her words, and the queen also believed her a little.
It depends on Mu Qianyan to stabilize the situation, how can Du Ruo be willing to let her go like this?
"Qianyan, do you remember that day when I asked you to have tea in the teahouse? I saw with my own eyes that the token was on you, how could I remember it wrong? His Royal Highness King Yue personally came to take you away that day!"
"Qianyan, do you have any troubles? Don't be afraid, as long as you truthfully report to the queen, the queen will be merciful and will not blame you!"
Du Ruo was worried and embarrassed on her face, listening to what she meant, didn't it mean that Mu Qianyan deliberately didn't admit it!
What else do you say about the bitterness, and the queen will not blame when you say it?
Heh, what can she suffer?
If you want to trap her, you will underestimate her too much.
Mu Qianyan hooked her lips unhurriedly, and smiled faintly, "Concubine Niangniang, I don't understand what you're talking about?" In the teahouse that day, King Yue did come and used stones to make a fuss, hurting my hand, and also knocking over the tea made by Concubine Niangniang to me, I didn't want to mention this..."
"After leaving the teahouse that day, His Royal Highness King Yue once told me that the tea was drugged, and the side concubine Niangniang intended to be unfavorable to me, but you and my sister, I never want to doubt you. ”
"Besides, did I take out the token and show it to the side concubine Niangniang that day? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I really have the token on my body, how can the side concubine Niangniang be sure that it is today's token? I remember, I didn't take out any token to show the side concubine Niangniang, right?"
"Everyone says that His Royal Highness King Yue has an elusive temperament and acts unpredictable, and the courtiers don't know why His Royal Highness King Yue went to the teahouse that day, and used stones as courtiers, and asked the queen to be clear. ”
Mu Qianyan's words were soft-spoken, and they were reasonable.
The demeanor is pious, neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are extremely powerful!
Only then did she know that it was at that time that Du Ruo found the token on her.
Presumably when Qin Yue hit her hand with a stone, Du Ruo took advantage of the chaos to see the token, right?
It's okay if Du Ruo doesn't mention this stubble, but when she mentions it, she has to say it well.
The matter of drugging her is just a good time to warm up, and let the queen think about it for herself.
As for why Qin Yue went to the teahouse that day, she said it, she didn't know.
King Yue has a perverse temperament and never pays attention to the rules in doing things, which is well known to everyone.
How could the queen not know about King Yue!
Therefore, in the queen's heart, she will have some considerations, and Mu Qianyan's words are credible!
She once again let Qin Yue carry the black cauldron.
Qin Yue, I will pay you back in the future!
Mu Qianyan silently promised in her heart.
And when she mentioned that Du Ruo drugged her in the tea, she actually deliberately blurred the focus and asked the queen to quietly divert her attention from the matter of the token.
Don't always remember what Du Ruo said, the token is on her!
Looking at the posture of being confused by Mu Qianyan again, Du Ruo's face turned blue and white angrily, and he quietly clenched his fists!
Mu Qianyan actually said that she was drugged in the tea?!
What is this?
I really underestimated Mu Qianyan before! With such eloquence that can speak well, Mu Qianyan can really disguise before!
pretends to be high-minded, but he's just a shameless person!
Pushing all the blame on King Yue, why didn't she find out before, Mu Qianyan turned out to be so shameless?
Open your mouth to King Yue, close your mouth to King Yue, who is King Yue?
Du Ruo was angry, and even wondered if King Yue came, would he accept the black cauldron thrown by Mu Qianyan in its entirety?
Will King Yue maintain his innocence in front of the queen's mother, or will he protect Mu Qianyan?
"It's really lively, it seems that this king has missed something good?"
What do you want, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Du Ruo had just thought of King Yue, and before Qin Yue arrived, the voice arrived first.
Qin Yue is here......
Mu Qianyan looked over for the first time, and her eyes flashed with self-blame, today's events were clearly aimed at her, but they innocently caused Qin Yue to take advantage of this unwarranted disaster.
Thinking about Mu Qianyan, she felt that she couldn't go, and she also pulled Qin Yue as a shield to carry the black pot for her......
Qin Yue is not blind, how can he not see the queen's hateful eyes looking at him?
Moreover, the atmosphere at this scene was so solemn, with a posture of wanting to punish him.
But Qin Yue didn't seem to notice the danger of the aura, he was still so frivolous, and he directly ignored the queen's cold and angry face, and said in a somewhat scattered tone:
"See the queen mother. ”
Qin Yue's lazy and casual appearance just didn't take the queen in his eyes at all.
said that the sons and daughters, but never called the queen 'queen mother'
The queen was already angry, especially when she looked at Qin Yue's appearance of not taking her seriously, she was even more angry, slapped the table with great momentum, and said sharply, "King Yue, Your Majesty has given you brothers a cold iron short knife for each of you, where is your short knife now?"
The queen coerced Qin Yue, and the princess Wan was smiling and watching the show, her son, King Hong, was removed from the post of city defense, just as the queen suppressed Qin Yue, she could also vent her evil anger.
When King Hong was dismissed, Qin Yue must have made a lot of small moves behind his back!
Imperial Concubine Wan smiled and looked at Qin Yue fiercely.
It was Qin Yue, who heard the queen's cold question, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Short knife?"
"The short knife given by my father is naturally on this king, I don't know what the queen is asking for?"
Qin Yue spoke leisurely, but in fact, he was clear in his heart.
Mama Gui's body was lying there, and he was not blind, so he could see it naturally.
And Qin Yue's reply made the queen squint her eyes dangerously, "Take it to the palace and take a look." ”
Qin Yue said that the short knife was on him, and the murder weapon that killed Mama Gui was deliberately forged by someone?
The queen thought about it and glanced at the short knife on the table, even if the short knife was forged, could this token still be fake?
Hmph! In any case, Mama Gui's death has nothing to do with Qin Yue!
The queen thought angrily.
Then Qin Yue also took out his short knife without hesitation, and handed it over to the queen generously.
Seeing that the queen took his short knife and looked at it carefully, Qin Yue's good-looking eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing his usual evil chuckle, "This king heard that Gui Mama was killed, shouldn't the queen suspect that this king killed Gui Mama?"
It is not difficult to hear the faint sarcasm in Qin Yue's words.
As Qin Yue spoke, he glanced at the table as if he didn't have any, the short knife was nothing, it didn't pose a threat to him, it was just a token......
Qin Yue glanced at Mu Qianyan quietly, his face has always been smart, why is he so careless today?
Receiving Qin Yue's eyes, Mu Qianyan pursed her lips, frowning lightly between her eyebrows, she could understand what Qin Yue meant.
Qin Yue was right, it was indeed her carelessness today, so she asked Bai Lan to steal the token.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a troublesome thing as it is now.
This responsibility is her fault, and she has to admit it.
But......
She could only admit to Qin Yue alone in private.
On the surface, she couldn't recognize it.
Qin Yue, will you help me, right?
For some reason, she had a faint expectation and belief in her heart.
inexplicably believed, believing that Qin Yue would help him.
At this moment, Mu Qianyan didn't realize that that belief, in the final analysis, was that she felt that Qin Yue could rely on!
The queen carefully examined the short knife handed over by Qin Yue and confirmed that it was genuine.
In other words, the murder weapon that killed Mama Gui was forged.
But that's not all.
The queen squeezed Qin Yue's short knife tightly, and stared at him sternly, "Where is your Yue King's token?"
She didn't believe it, Qin Yue could still take out another token?
