Qin Jue was sitting on the stone bench, while Jiang Li was bent down to stand in front of him for more convenience.

At this time, he was suddenly grabbed by Qin Jue's wrist, Jiang Li subconsciously raised his head, and crashed into his dark eyes.

The faces of the two were instantly so close that they could feel each other's breathing.

Qin Jue's heart was beating suddenly, and the next moment he reacted, he wanted to push the person away.

However, at this time, a woman's angry shout came from the gate of the cold palace, "What are you doing?!" ”

As if he was frightened, Jiang Li straightened up and took a few steps back, looking at the person with panic and fear on his face, "...... Queen mother! ”

Looking at the panic on her face, Qin Jue felt a little relieved in his heart...... It turns out that she will also know to be afraid?

Then, he heard the cheers in Jiang Li's heart.

[Oops, the protagonist of this scene has finally arrived, and he came so slowly, I almost couldn't hold it in the face of beauty! ] 】

Qin Jue: "......"

He looked away expressionlessly, lowered his head and focused on redressing himself.

Although I don't know what trick Jiang Li is playing, she has a system, at least she doesn't want to kill him, so it looks like it.

The queen walked towards Jiang Li angrily, and the palace people behind her also had the foresight to close the door of the cold palace in time, isolating the sight of the outside exploration.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Li bowed his head with a weak face, and shouted pitifully again, "Queen Mother......"

"You still know that this palace is your queen mother! How can you be mixed with such a scumbag with such a noble status?! ”

The queen's face was pale, and what she said was that she didn't save Qin Jue any face.

Qin Jue didn't see any anger, he seemed to have been used to this, he just wore his clothes slowly, as if these uninvited guests didn't exist.

Jiang Li became more and more pitiful, looking scared, but he mustered up the courage to speak, "Queen Mother...... I just saw that the imperial brother was injured yesterday, so I came to deliver medicine today......"

"Shut up!" In an instant, the queen was even more angry, her usual kind appearance disappeared, and she only gritted her teeth and said one word, "He is not your imperial brother!" ”

Jiang Li hurriedly bowed his head, "The queen mother is angry!" ”

The moment she lowered her head, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips, very satisfied with the queen's anger at this time.

If you want to say why the queen is so angry, it has to start with Qin Jue's life experience.

Back then, Qin Jue's biological mother was also a generation of favorite concubines, and she was deeply loved by Emperor Qing, so she became a thorn in the side of many women, including the queen.

So under the queen's careful arrangement, finally half a year after Qin Jue's mother gave birth to him, she found an opportunity to frame him for having an affair with a guard.

Emperor Qing was furious and cut down his biological mother's entire family, except for Qin Jue.

Because Emperor Qing's heirs were scarce at that time, he was middle-aged, counting Qin Juecai's five sons, two of whom had already died.

In addition, although his biological mother had an affair with the guards, she was only discovered after giving birth to Qin Jue, so it cannot be proved that Qin Jue was not Emperor Qing's own child, so Emperor Qing was not executed with Qin Jue in the end.

But the so-called deep responsibility of love, how much he once loved Qin Jue's mother, and how much he hated it later.

Even with him, he couldn't face Qin Jue, and finally threw him to the cold palace to be raised by an old woman, which was regarded as leaving him to fend for himself.

The queen hated Qin Jue's biological mother, and she originally wanted to kill Qin Jue together, but she was accidentally discovered by Emperor Qing for her small actions.

Although Emperor Qing didn't like Qin Jue, he finally saved his life because of his bloodline, how could he be happy to see the idea of the queen still fighting his life?

immediately beat the queen, so that she didn't dare to do anything, and even feared that someone would take advantage of this to frame her, so she had to secretly save Qin Jue's life.

After a long time, the queen forgot about him and never paid attention to him anymore.

But right now, Jiang Li has repeatedly contacted Qin Jue, obviously awakening the queen's not good memories.

At this time, she looked at Qin Jue, her eyes as disgusted as when she looked at his mother.

"At a young age, I knew how to show off my hue, and I was exactly like that slut!"

"This palace shouldn't have kept you in the first place, so that you had a chance to live, but you are not grateful, and you actually did this kind of thing to seduce the princess and defile the harem!"

"Someone, give him to the main palace ......"

Seeing that the queen was angry and was about to dispose of Qin Jue on the spot, Jiang Li hurriedly exclaimed, "The queen mother is angry!" ”

"At this time, it's really no wonder that the royal brother is coming, I want to come by myself, and the queen mother will punish me if she wants to punish me!"

"Smack!"

The queen couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Jiang Li in the face, "Bastard!" ”

Her slap was solid enough, Jiang Li only felt that his face was hot, and the corners of his lips were broken, oozing a trace of fishy sweetness.

For a moment, the air seemed to be silent for a moment, and all the palace people lowered their heads, trembling and not daring to make the slightest sound.

Jiang Li covered half of his beaten cheek and looked at the queen in disbelief, "Queen Mother......"

This is the first time since she adopted her that the queen has done something to her, and she has always shown favor in the past.

Seeing Jiang Li being beaten, Qin Jue was also a little surprised, he subconsciously moved, wanting to hold her up, but restrained himself.

…… What does it have to do with him that she was beaten? It's good to be killed.

But probably because he still dislikes the queen more than the queen, so at this time, he also has a trace of pity in his heart for the relatively weak Jiang Li.

Soon, though, that glimmer of pity dissipated.

Because Qin Jue heard the conversation between System 007 and Jiang Li.

System No. 007: ", this old woman is too ruthless, are you okay host?" ”

"Huh, you worked too hard to protect Qin Jue, and sure enough, you still remember your task in your heart, I'm so moved!"

Jiang Li: "Moved by a fart, which eye did you see me to protect Qin Jue?" ”

"This is a wolf cub who has not yet been raised, and the ghost is desperate for him."

"Don't you see that I am deliberately provoking the queen and deliberately letting her beat me?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Jue was stunned, but even the system was stunned.

"Huh? Why? ”

The system said that its brain circuits were a little out of keeping up with the host.

Jiang Li didn't bother to explain so much, and only threw out one sentence, "Don't you know that the Flame Army has just been ordered to defeat a small country, and Yang Jin has returned to the court to appeal, and these two days are coming?" ”

General Yang Jinyang, who was once Jiang Li's father's lieutenant general, has been by his side since he was a child and is loyal to the Jiang family.

And he has never been married and has no children, he has always treated Jiang Li as his own daughter, and it is also the reason why Jiang Li can still be so powerful in the capital after the Jiang family has an accident.

The system suddenly seemed to understand a little, "So...... Are you a bitter ploy? ”

"Or else?" Jiang Li said, "I never suffer in vain, the loss I suffer today will be doubled back in the coming day, and this future will definitely not be far away, just wait and see." ”

Qin Jue couldn't help but glance at her face as he listened to her nonchalant tone.

The delicate face the size of the palm, the place where it was beaten at this time was swollen and high, and it hurt to look at it.

…… It seems that she is not only ruthless to others, but she is even more ruthless to herself.
