"Shut up!" Xia Pei slapped the dragon pillar suddenly, and shouted angrily, his voice was like thunder, shocking the audience.

Immediately the people prostrated their heads, and the mountain shouted, "Your Majesty is angry!" Then, the hall was silent.

After being quiet for a long time, he looked at Lu Zhaoyi and Du Yan, held back his feelings, and slowly spoke, "Lu Qiniang, first go to the East Pavilion Hall with the Queen Mother to enter the banquet for the ladies, what Du Xiang said, I will investigate it carefully!"

A discerning person can see that this is the emperor favoring her.

During this process, the Queen Mother has been observing from the sidelines, without showing the slightest expression on her face, and she has not inserted half a sentence from beginning to end.

"In this case, the emperor, Yu will take Lu Qiniang and leave first." The Queen Mother said softly.

As for whether Lu Zhaoyi is Gou Chenzi or not, it is not an important matter for the others in the hall, but for Qi Ran, an old fox, it is a heavy blow.

For a long time, Qi Ran, as the Great Hongluqing, was in charge of the court's etiquette law, and he was very dissatisfied with her, and he never stopped slandering her, if she was really Gou Chenzi, the most powerful person in the entire Dayuan Dynasty, it would be extremely unfavorable for Qi Ran's future official career.

If she wasn't Gou Chenzi, then Qi Ran, who was a great Honglu, would still talk about women.

Now, Du Yan has actually exposed her true identity in the court, and in such a fierce and tyrannical way, how can she swallow this breath?

However, she Lu Zhaoyi is not violent, she still maintains a decent and generous face, slightly blesses her body, calls Huazhi and Yingxue together, and leaves behind the Queen Mother.

"Wait......

At this time, in the banquet in the palace, Qiu Quzi, the middle of the imperial history, slowly got up, walked to the hall, and bowed to Xia Peishi.

"Minister, Qiu Quzi, I have something to refute Du Youxiang, and please ask the Queen Mother and Lu Niangzi to wait for a while."

The fact that he was able to stand up surprised everyone in the hall, especially Xia Pei, who stared at Qiu Quzi with a frown, a cloudy look flashing in his eyes.

Lu Zhaoyi is Gou Chenzi, if she can't make it clear today, it will be a great burden on her in the future, especially in the court, which is even more unfavorable.

As her ally, Qiu Quzi obviously did not want to see such a situation.

Compared with Lu Zhaoyi, she is not very easy to defend herself, and it is most appropriate for someone who seems to have nothing to do with this matter to speak.

This is also the reason why Fang Cai, before the queen, they discussed this matter in private.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, Xia Pei's gaze turned to him.

But Lu Zhaoyi was in a peaceful state of mind and showed a look of gratitude to him.

"Qiu Qing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xia Pei's tone was obviously relaxed.

"Since the beginning of this dynasty, no one has seen Gou Chenzi, and he has never appeared in the eyes of the world, but there are still traces to follow." Qiu Quzi lowered his head, but his eyes kept rolling.

There are traces to follow, it is said that after Lu Zhaoyi led people to leave Luojing and go south, under the planning of Qiu Quzi, Yingyun of Gouchen Courtyard led the Shadow Guard to protect the chariots and horses of the army and move around the surrounding area.

However, except for Qiu Quzi, Shadow Cloud and the Shadow Guards who designed this matter, no one else knew about this matter, and there was only Shadow Rain, who was good at ventriloquism, on the carriage.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't speak all the time, just listened silently, his face was flat, and he didn't see any waves.

Hearing this, Xia Pei and the Queen Mother both fell silent, but it was Du Yan, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, staring at Qiu Quzi for a moment.

"Just taking people around, can it show that Gou Chenzi was in Luojing at that time?" Du Yan hit the nail on the head and pierced the strangeness in one word, after all, this reason is too far-fetched.

This remark aroused the confusion of everyone in the palace, especially Xia Sheng, who had been with Lu Zhaoyi in Huainan for several months.

Thinking of the bits and pieces in Huainan, Ying Feng and Xia Pinglang obeyed her and had a very high prestige, he didn't think in this direction at the time, but today Du Yan proposed that she was Gou Chenzi, which suddenly made Xia Sheng's heart suddenly startled, and suspicion arose.

But this is also a good thing, if it is really Gou Chenzi, their alliance will be of great benefit to themselves.

So

It was impossible for him to let Lu Zhaoyi be suspected.

Xia Sheng let go of the hand holding the Queen Mother, walked slowly, and faced Du Yan directly, "Right Xiang, alone as the King of Han, has been with Lu Shilang in Anfeng County day and night, whether Lu Shilang is Gou Chenzi or not, Lone has more say than anyone. She'......"

「…… It's impossible for Gou Chenzi."

His words were firm and completely rejected Du Yan's doubts.

At this moment, he can no longer scruple too much, he must stand on Lu Zhaoyi's side, only by supporting her, can he stabilize his position in the court.

This calculation, he played very loudly.

When the two parties were fighting against each other, the Queen Mother suddenly interrupted.

"That's enough."

She snorted coldly, and there was a bit of majesty in her voice, so that everyone dared not speak again.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the secretaries must not disturb the interest of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet because of some nonsense. What kind of system is it to be so noisy and shouting?" The Queen Mother's words made everyone present shut up.

When everyone was about to sit back, Lu Zhaoyi stood beside the Queen Mother, suddenly walked out, and blessed the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother Rong Qi Niang, explain a few words in person, and after speaking, go to the East Pavilion Hall with the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her hand to signal her.

She walked to the center of the hall and looked around at the people in the hall, some were trying to defend her, some were watching the play indifferently, and some were gloating......

She knew it in her heart, and she didn't hurry to speak, but walked slowly to Du Yan and stopped.

"Since Qi Niang left Yedu and came to Luojing, every word and deed has been watched, as for the military advisor, he is old and has difficulty moving, so he asked Qi Niang to act on his behalf, Qi Niang is stupid and can't fully understand the meaning of the military advisor, so people can catch the handle." Chinese Net

Her voice was clear, her voice was smooth, and she spoke eloquently, not in a hurry or in a hurry.

Xia Pei looked at her, with a little surprise on his face, and then nodded, "Today's matter, that's the end, I still say the same thing, unless there is clear evidence, I am not allowed to discuss this matter in the palace again."

The ministers in the palace understood, and immediately responded with a tsunami of bowing, "The ministers obey the order!"

Finally, the Taiji Hall resumed the liveliness of the palace banquet.

The Queen Mother left Xia Sheng, left the main hall with Lu Zhaoyi and others, and went to the East Pavilion Hall next to her.

On the way, Lu Zhaoyi kept silent, kept his head down, and when he arrived outside the East Pavilion Palace, the Queen Mother suddenly stopped, turned around and retreated, and let Ying Xue and Huazhi enter the palace first, leaving only Lu Zhaoyi and the Queen Mother facing each other.

After everyone left, the Queen Mother stared at her eyes, and there seemed to be an imperceptible smile in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Although you defended yourself just now, you know very well that you should be Gou Chenzi."

Saying this, her heart was shocked, "Why did the Queen Mother say this?"

"I have been with the previous king for decades, and there are many things, needless to say, and I know them in my heart."

The Queen Mother smiled, "Back then, the first king vacated Lutai and let the military division settle in, and the first king ordered all men not to approach, once it was night, he never summoned the military division if there was something, so he guessed that the military advisor in Lutai was not an ordinary person."

She paused and continued, "When the former military advisor Jia Xiao was alive, the former king often discussed with me that he wanted to find relatives for Jia Junshi, but later when he mentioned you, he mentioned Pei'er more often, and I didn't understand what the former king meant at that time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the first king wanted to match you to Pei'er at that time."

Lu Zhaoyi carefully recalled the Queen Mother's words, and her face changed suddenly.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Do you still want to hide it from Yu here?" The Queen Mother's voice was gentle, as if she was speaking loving words, and the eyes that looked at her with a heavy scrutiny, as if she wanted to see through her soul and expose all her secrets to the sun.

Lu Zhaoyi panicked in his heart, and turned his face away uncomfortably.

"Queen Mother...... I really don't understand what you're talking about." Lu Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Really?" The Queen Mother sneered, "Whether you recognize it or not, since Pei'er ascended the throne, the Middle Palace has been empty, and this is the reason

The half-mushy figure that Pei Er didn't intend to see in Lutai back then, it should be you, right?"

She wanted to lie, but the Queen Mother had already seen through her lie and chuckled.

"Yes, Qi Niang is Gou Chenzi."

Lu Zhaoyi no longer concealed it and told the truth straightforwardly.

"You are honest, okay, since you admit it, I won't say more, you are also a smart woman, there are some things that I don't need to pick and choose."

The Queen Mother's attitude suddenly changed, which made Lu Zhaoyi stunned.

"Before the palace banquet began, in Yongshou Palace, Pei Er and Sheng'er both made it clear to me that they were both pleased with you, Pei Er was the emperor, and Sheng'er was the king of Han, so I wanted to ask you, if you were to choose, how would you choose?"

Choosing directly between the emperor and the king of Han, this really stumped Lu Zhaoyi, not to mention that she had no intention of getting married.

Her heart trembled slightly, she originally thought that the Queen Mother was just talking casually, but she didn't expect it......

"The Queen Mother, the minister, before the death of the former king, promised to protect the stability of the world, and now the internal and external troubles, the peace of the world is far away, and after the prosperity of the world, the minister will definitely give the Queen Mother an answer!"

Her words rang loudly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, "You have ambitions, but it is a man's business to protect the family and defend the country, and you are just a daughter's family......

"What's wrong with my daughter's house?" Lu Zhaoyi didn't wait for the Queen Mother to finish speaking, and immediately took over the conversation, "Can't my daughter's family expand its territory and establish meritorious deeds? Can a woman be dependent on a man to live?"

"No, the minister doesn't want to ......."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother stared at her in surprise for a long time, and sighed: "You are really like Jia Xiao's military master, and you are also like the first king......

"That's it, I don't ask. Shall you go in and feast?"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother turned around and was about to go to the gate of the East Pavilion Palace.

"The Queen Mother—"

Lu Zhaoyi called her.

"You want to ask, will Yu tell me who you are?" The Queen Mother looked back and smiled softly.

"Qi Niang knows that the Queen Mother will not, but Qi Niang is not in good health today, and I want to take a few people with her ministers to leave the palace first, and ask the Queen Mother for permission."
