Chapter 265: Are You Trying to Poison Me?
Li Mao's body was very stiff, sitting there like a piece of wood, and his fingers were stiff.
Qin Zhiyi looked funny, as if she could eat people.
Li Mao was a little embarrassed by Qin Zhiyi's question, and stammered: "No, I'm not nervous." β
Qin Zhiyi glanced at him twice, laughed, and said, "What is Master Li thinking?" Do you think that if this palace gets Master Qian away, it will be your turn next? None of your old ministers who oppose me being the queen can't get away? β
Li Mao's face became even stiffer when he was told the central matter, but he didn't dare to admit it, so he performed a 'default' by stalking his neck.
Qin Zhiyi was about to laugh angrily.
"Do you know what Lord Qian did?" Qin Zhiyi said coolly.
Li Mao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't it because of his tireless participation in the queen mother?" β
Qin Zhiyi: "Yes and no." β
She turned to Xiao Yue and said, "Come, tell Master Li about Lord Qian's glorious deeds." β
Xiao Yue nodded, and began to tell what Master Qian had done with emotion, and finally couldn't help but add coldly: "He is purely to blame." If His Majesty hadn't seen him because of his advanced age, he wouldn't have let him go back to his hometown. With his crimes, it is enough to punish the nine clans. β
Li Mao froze in place, dumbfounded.
He never expected that Master Qian would go crazy in order to bring down Qin Zhiyi, and that kind of thing would be done.
Li Mao was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, Weichen dares to ask, have you ever offended Lord Qian?" β
Qin Zhiyi sneered and said, "I want to know too." β
Li Mao hissed and said in a deep voice: "Weichen really can't figure it out. β
"What else can't you think about?" Qin Zhiyi said lightly: "There is such a person in this world, who is the only one, and always feels that the world revolves around her. If you disobey him, no matter if you are right or wrong, no matter what you do, he will not tolerate you. β
Qin Zhiyi looked at Li Mao, with a bit of self-deprecation in his eyes, and said: "Maybe my disgraceful background has stepped on the noble bottom line of Lord Qian, and he will not allow a person from such a low background to become the queen and step on his head." So, no matter what I do, he won't be satisfied. β
Li Mao was silent, and he really couldn't find the words to refute.
Qin Zhiyi took a sip of tea before continuing: "I'm indeed a little cautious, according to your words, I will repay you." But I'm not looking at everyone. A mad dog like Lord Qian...... I don't usually bother with him, and unless he actually bites me, I'll beat him to death with a stick. β
Li Mao: "......"
A patriarch of the Three Dynasties was called a mad dog like this.
However, thinking about it carefully, Qin Zhiyi really didn't do anything. No matter how the old ministers led by Lord Qian jumped to their feet, Qin Zhiyi had never done anything, only being her queen in her Fengyi Palace, and she didn't hear anything outside the window.
It turned out that it wasn't that she was weak, but that she was too lazy to care. There is another reason, that is, the things that Mr. Qian did have not caused her any substantial harm.
Li Mao somehow was a little glad for Lord Qian at this time.
Fortunately, he provoked the emperor before he really provoked Qin Zhiyi.
provoked the emperor and saved a life, if he really provoked Qin Zhiyi, he might really die.
Li Mao raised his hand and wiped his face, and said to Qin Zhiyi: "Then the queen mother came to Weichen today to ......"
"I'm gossiping so much to tell you, but it's actually just for Your Majesty." Qin Zhiyi said lightly: "Lord Qian is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, with many supporters and countless protΓ©gΓ©s. His Majesty's denunciation of him this time will definitely provoke the backlash of these people. This palace is not afraid of them, but I can't see Your Majesty worrying about these frivolous things all day long. So, Master Lee, awesome busy? β
Li Mao: "...... How can Wechen help? β
"You are also a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and your status is no worse than that of Lord Qian." Qin Zhiyi smiled and said, "As long as you stand up and support Your Majesty, then Your Majesty's pressure will be much less." β
Li Mao: "......"
"Lord Li, for the sake of our fragile friendship, this palace will remind you a few words." Qin Zhiyi said slowly: "Gu Nanfeng, it's not the foolish prince who was trapped in the cage before. He has now broken free from his shackles and met the weathered dragon. You should know that once a person who has been bound all the year round breaks free, what will he hate the most? What's more, from ancient times to the present, there is no emperor who likes others to point fingers at him and oppose every decision he makes. β
The Emperor, the one who was born to be in control.
He controls the world, not someone else.
What's more, it's people like Gu Nanfeng.
Li Mao's face became solemn, and he looked at Qin Zhiyi in silence.
Qin Zhiyi chuckled lightly and said, "That's all I have to say, Master Li should think about it." β
She turned her head to Xiao Yue and said, "Didn't you make a new pastry today?" Pack a portion for Mr. Li, and let Mr. Li taste your craft. β
Xiao Yue reluctantly packed one and gave it to Li Mao.
Li Mao returned home with a bag of pastries, opened it in a daze and took a bite, instantly a thrill, and his brain was instantly clear.
He spit out the pastry in one gulp, and said in disbelief: "Doesn't the queen really want to kill people?" β
The taste of this pastry went straight to the heavenly spirit cover, and the moment I tasted it, the sweet and sour came up.
He rinsed his mouth with cold tea, then stared at the pastry for a few minutes, and then resolutely offered to secretly feed the dog.
He's afraid he'll not survive tonight if he eats it.
Li Mao had nightmares all night, and the next day he went to court with a dark circle under his eyes, and when he just walked to the gate of the palace, he bumped into Wu Zhuo head-on.
These people look down on Wu Zhuo more or less, and they usually can't see it. But if you hit it head-on, it's not good to pretend not to know.
Li Mao nodded expressionlessly: "Lord Wu, morning." β
Wu Zhuo was also expressionless: "Lord Li, morning." β
After speaking, he picked up the pastry in his hand and took a bite, and walked inside while nibbling.
Li Mao's gaze unconsciously swept to the pastry in Wu Zhuo's hand, glanced at it, and couldn't help but take another look. Then he was horrified to find that the pastry looked so familiar. Isn't that the same pastry he took out to feed the dog last night?
Wu Zhuo found his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and handed over the pastry in his hand: "Master Li, didn't you eat breakfast?" I can divide you one, but there is no more. β
Obviously, he still has several in his hand.
Li Mao subconsciously took a few steps back, stared at the pastry in his hand, and asked faintly: "Your pastry, should it be sent from the palace?" β
Wu Zhuo was stunned: "How do you know?" β
Li Mao: "......"
He took a few more steps back, as if the poison of the pastry could float on him.
