My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chapter 538 Angry Queen Mother!

Randomly looking for a dilapidated hut, Chen Mu summoned the Calabash seven demons to discuss the next plan.

Although the seven demons of Calabash were able to escape successfully, Xichang would never stop there. It is estimated that they have begun to closely monitor the city gate to prevent them from fleeing.

But Chen Mu was not worried about this.

To leave the capital, he has many ways to secretly sneak out.

What he worries about is that now Yu Shaoqin and Gu Jianling are both on the opposite side of him, what attitude will the queen dowager have.

After all, the attitude of the Queen Mother determines the safety of the people around him in the capital.

“It’s really troublesome.”

Chen Mu rubbed his eyebrows, very irritable.

Looking at the indifferent Chen Mu, the Calabash monsters who had been clamoring in the cell were silent at this time.

Such a move is enough to show that Chen Mu really wanted to help them.

If it is more hostile, it will be ignorant of admiration.

“The seven of your brothers now see how dangerous the current situation is.”

Chen Mu said lightly. “Don’t even think about staying in the capital. You can only follow me to Destiny Valley. No matter what your grandfather is planning, you have only this path to choose.”

“Master Chen rest assured, since my brothers agree to go to the Valley of Destiny with you, they will definitely not break their promise.”

Calabash’s second child said in a deep voice.

The others nodded.

Chen Mu glanced at the young man who was guarding the door, and asked Calabash’s second child: “Now you can tell me what you are looking for.”

“this……”

Calabash’s cock looked stiff and embarrassed.

“What? Don’t trust me yet?” Chen Mu sneered and glanced at the other Calabash monsters. “Don’t you guys want to say?”

Calabash’s old fifth shook his head quickly and squeezed out an ugly smile: “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just… it’s just this…” After stuttering for a long time, the old fifth didn’t say why, so he had to laugh.

He glanced at the other brothers, and everyone bowed their heads, unwilling to speak.

Although everyone chose to trust Chen Mu, asking them to confess Princess Xueer was still quite resistant to the seven brothers.

They are not willing to let Princess Cher take risks.

You must know that Princess Xueer is still the ‘fugitive’ of Pisces. Once the Great Yan court knows, she will most likely be sent back to Pisces.

Without their protection at that time, everything would be too late.

After waiting for a long time and no one spoke, Chen Mu chuckled, “Okay, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it, I can’t knock your heads to spy, and we are just a cooperative relationship. But now the seven of you are here, some of them are Time to consider whether or not to tell me.”

“actually……”

Calabash’s second child tangled for a while, and finally spoke. “Actually we are looking for a key.”

“The key?” Chen Mu frowned.

Calabash’s second child nodded slightly and said, “This key is very important to us and can help us rescue Grandpa. As for what the key does, I’m sorry, but we can’t tell you this.”

“The question is, why did you go to my woman’s house to find the key?”

Chen Mu was puzzled.

Calabash’s second son said: “The clue we got, this key is there, it can’t be wrong.”

“Where did the clues come from?”

“can not say.”

“…”

Chen Mu was speechless.

If you don’t need these guys, I really want to give everyone a hammer.

However, out of the keen intuition of investigating all the year round, Chen Mu guessed that the seven brothers might have chosen such a strong concealment to protect one person.

The clue to the key is probably provided by that person.

Who will this person be?

You must know that the seven demon of Calabash escaped from hunting in these years, it is impossible to have any friends, and it is difficult for anyone to help them.

Chen Mu thought hard for a long time but didn’t have a clue.

Vaguely, he felt as if he had overlooked some important information, which was difficult to recall for a while.

“Forget it, don’t say it, don’t say it.”Chen Mu didn’t bother to continue questioning, walked to the door and gently hugged Shao Si Ming, and said lightly: “I will let Heiling arrange tonight and set off to Destiny Valley.”

——

“Asshole!!!”

In Fengyuan Palace, the memorial and secret letter on the book case were thrown on the ground.

The queen mother in a golden phoenix robe has a delicate face, and the beads with the phoenix crown on her head shook slightly because of anger.

The maids and eunuchs in the Great Hall all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The queen mother seemed to be in a good mood for the past two days, but just after receiving a secret letter from the dark guard, a fire broke out.

They have rarely seen the Queen Mother so angry.

The last time there was such a rage, many officials fell to their heads, and everyone was uneasy.

“Get out of here!” the queen mother said coldly.

If the eunuchs and maids received the amnesty, they withdrew from the Great Hall one after another, closing the door of the hall by the way.

Only the close female officials who serve the Queen Mother on weekdays are left alone.

The light in the hall dimmed, but the lighting beads on the walls on both sides automatically lit up slightly, intertwined like daylight.

“What the hell is Gu Jianling doing!”

The queen mother patted the table with an angry chest and the mountains were ups and downs, “At this time, I still have to take an own position so that everyone in the world knows what he is thinking when he stands on the opposite side of Chen Mu? Is he warning the Lamentation family? ?”

The hidden guard Xiaoying watched silently, but didn’t comfort him.

She understood the anger of the Queen Mother.

The Dongzhou City incident made the Queen Mother lose some face.

After all, Du Piwu, the prefect of Dongzhou, was protected by her at the outset, but turned out to be the anti-thief of the Heaven and Earth Society. This has become a black spot for many officials to criticize the Queen Mother.

Although everyone understands that it is the imperial court’s helpless action to let Du Piwu remain the prefect of Dongzhou.

But the Queen Mother, as the actual person in power, should shoulder this responsibility.

Secondly, the queen mother of the Dongzhou massacre incident also has to bear the responsibility.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that the massacre of 20,000 people was an order from the emperor to cover up some secrets.

But on the surface, that can’t be said.

The reason why the emperor “endured the heartache” ordered the massacre of the people because he wanted to prevent the spread of the poison, otherwise it would have even greater consequences.

Ever since, the little emperor Ji Min, who was originally an executioner, is instead a hero of salvation.

But someone must be responsible for the deaths of more than 20,000 people.

So the queen mother can only hold the pot.

If it were not for you to protect Du Piwu as the prefect, will Dongzhou be chaotic? If it weren’t for your inaction, would the conspiracy of Lord Yunzheng appear?

In any case, the source of all this evil lies in you, the queen mother!

Even some folks who heard the rumors chose to support the emperor and complained about the queen mother.

Some militants fan the flames, saying that the Queen Mother is a demon girl who harms the country.

Above the court, and because of the Dongzhou incident, officials of different factions secretly conducted another round of fierce dialectics and confrontations.

Although in the end the forces of the queen dowagers suppressed them with a strong posture, there were many hidden dangers that could be buried.

So at this time, the Queen Mother urgently needs the support of people around her.

However, at this juncture, Gu Jianling, the commander of the closest and trustworthy godguard, stabbed her in secret.

From the appearance, Gu Jianling just didn’t want to marry his righteous daughter Bai Xianyu to Chen Mu.

But you know that Chen Mu has just been knighted.

If you don’t destroy your marriage early or later, you only choose to destroy your marriage with Chen Mu at this juncture. This is worth intriguing.

Who previously proposed that Chen Mu be nominated?

It’s the queen mother!

The Queen Mother has made it clear to the officials that Chen Mu will be my person in the future, and that I will rely on a close confidant. But you, Gu Jianling, chose to stand on the opposite side of Chen Mu at this time. What does this make other officials think?

What would the officials who originally wanted to get close to the Queen Mother think?

There was a fight between the left arm and the right arm.

It means that your queen mother’s own backyard has caught fire. This is not a good sign.

“Let Gu Jianling roll over!”

The Queen Mother shouted angrily at the female officer stationed outside the door.

But when the female officer was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and stopped the other party: “Wait!”

The Queen Mother stared at the contents of the secret letter, clenching her white powder fist, her beautiful face was uncertain, and the piercing cold glow contained in her eyes was just like the essence.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down and judge the other’s intentions.

However, sadly, until now, she found that she didn’t know as much about this most loyal servant as she thought.

Annoyed, she opened the new information that she had just sent.

The intelligence is about Chen Mu and Black Tortoise fighting on the street.

Snapped!

The secret letter was retaken on the table, and the anger in the queen mother’s eyes seemed to turn into flames:

“Is this the courage to eat the bear heart and leopard? You dare to beat the Lord in the street, how decent you are, where you put the face of the court! Come on, go and drag the Black Tortoise to the outside of the Chaoming Hall, and hit a hundred boards. Hit the Aijia hard!”

“Yes!”

The female officer outside the door hurriedly passed on the verbal message after hearing it.

Shadow Guard Xiaoying sighed.

This Black Tortoise envoy was also unlucky enough, and became the queen mother’s punching bag. Although this one hundred wrenches would not kill anyone, don’t even think about getting out of bed for two months.

However, the Queen Mother’s anger has not faded, she picked up the information she had read before, and said coldly: “What did Zhao Yuan do for this rice bucket? The Calabash seven demon who had been caught by the Charon run away, in the end. Is it incapable or deliberate?”

She stared at the nervous female officer: “Xin’er, do you think he is incapable or does it deliberately!”

The female officer named Xin’er naturally understood the meaning of the Queen Mother’s question, and quickly said vaguely: “The servant and maid think that maybe there is something wrong with Zhao Gonggong.”

“That is to investigate! Check it out for Aijia! If anyone obstructs, kill him!”

“Yes.”

The female officer wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and hurried to deliver the order.

The shadow guard Xiaoying understood that Zhao Yuan was about to die in the Vermillion Bird prison.

Although it was stated in the information that Yu Shaoqin appeared in person, the Queen Mother didn’t mention a word. She just used Zhao Yuan to operate the knife, which was considered a counterattack warning.

Thinking about it carefully, this Zhao Yuan is probably also a pawn that Yu Shaoqin sacrificed.

After a long time, the queen mother gradually calmed down.

She sits alone on the phoenix chair, her hands wearing golden nail sets decorated with precious stones are placed flat on her thighs, maintaining the majestic and dignified appearance of the court.

From a distance, it looks like a golden painting against the backdrop of magnificent magnificence.

It’s just that the person in the painting seems very lonely.

“You said, Is the Aijia concession too much? It makes them feel… The Aijia has really become a woman.”

There was indifference on the back of the mother, but the sharp eyes that had been cold and indifferent at this time were a little dazed.

The shadow guard Xiaoying whispered: “People will change.”

“Yes, people will change.”

The Queen Mother made a faint voice, and her voice was as soft as feathers falling on the surface of the lake.

After a long time, she suddenly laughed, faintly with a girlish playfulness, graceful manners, and the thin pink cherry lips that slightly evoked the sneer and coldness that made the heart tremble.

She pulled out a thick old book from under the desk.

This booklet records many crimes secretly hidden by officials.

“Some people, once they are too comfortable, they will forget that there was a knife hanging on their head, and even that the knife is deadly.”

The atmosphere in the Great Hall was full of serious killings, and it seemed that there was a smell of blood permeating.

“Kohan is not here.”

Shadow Guard Xiaoying hesitated for a moment, and said softly.

The queen mother said indifferently: “She is not the only knife beside Ai’s family, besides, Xiao Yu’er’s knife is also not sharp anymore.”

——

Before leaving, out of curiosity, Chen Mu went to Meng Yanqing’s house and searched carefully.

With the help of Hei Ling’s celestial guards, almost every corner was searched, but the so-called ‘key’ was never found.

After asking about Meng Mei’s wife, she also looked blank and took out all the keys of the house.

“It seems that the seven Calabash monsters were also deceived.”

Chen Mu can only think so.

When parting with the beautiful woman, another acquaintance came to visit him, the princess Lu Wuyi who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Lu Wuyi is still dressed as a Taoist aunt, with three points of delicacy in the simple and elegant.

As one of the few women whom Chen Mu hates, I have to admit that this woman’s appearance is still very good, especially her beautiful figure like Calabash, and the unique charm of a young girl.But this does not prevent Chen Mu from showing no interest in her.

Undress separately.

“I’m very busy now, if it’s here to win me, then forget it.”

Chen Mu expressed his position straightforwardly.

Lu Wuyi smiled slightly: “I heard about some of the things that happened today. Governor Yu personally disarmed you, don’t you want to know the reason?”

“I can guess one or two.” Chen Mu shrugged.

After receiving the tea from Meng Yanqing, Lu Wuyi thanked him and said softly: “Maybe you think the capital is calm now, but the waves are already surging. The Dongzhou incident has a great impact on the Queen Mother. There are many officials. I took this opportunity to come out and wanted to suppress the Queen Mother on the momentum.”

Chen Mu laughed at himself: “In fact, the key lies in me. If I could save those 20,000 people in time, the queen mother would naturally not be so passive.”

Thinking of the more than 20,000 people, the man was still indignant.

But what surprised him was the Queen Mother’s attitude towards him.

Obviously, the matter was messed up, but the Queen Mother didn’t really blame him.

“It’s not your fault, trust me, you won’t be able to save those twenty thousand people anyway.”

Lu Wuyi’s eyes floated brightly.

Her soft voice became a little lower: “You want to save people, your majesty doesn’t allow it. Because those 20,000 people do not die, it will be difficult for the queen mother to take the blame. Therefore, one of the reasons why Yu Chou Chou slaughtered the city in advance was that he was afraid of your successful rescue. people.”

Chen Mu nodded and sighed: “I thought about this later, but…”

“It’s just that you didn’t expect the little emperor to be so cruel.”

Lu Wuyi took his words and sneered. “How many kings have been truly benevolent since ancient times? Do you think he is still young? But he behaves more ruthlessly than you think!

Many people always think that Emperor Ji Min is very weak, so they despise him. But a few people know that a bloodthirsty beast lives in the bones of our emperor.

For his own benefit, let alone 20,000 people, even 100,000 people dare to slaughter! ”

Chen Mu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: “That’s what you said when you came to me?”

Lu Wuyi gently shook his head: “Of course not. Yu Shaoqin suddenly came to find your fault today. This is a very abnormal behavior. You must know that he has not really been hostile to you before. Why?”

“Why?” Chen Mu looked at her with a serious face.

Lu Wuyi said, “Because he had never regarded you as an opponent before, and you weren’t qualified enough to enter his law. Although my words are hard to hear, this is true. I believe you understand it in your heart.”

“So now he thinks I am qualified to be his opponent?”

Chen Mu laughed.

Lu Wuyi’s beautiful eyes glanced at Meng Yanqing, who was obediently serving next to Chen Mu. While admiring Chen Mu’s good blessing in his heart, he said solemnly: “He just gave you a warning. He taught you a lesson today.”

“I admit it.” Chen Mu nodded.

If it weren’t for Gu Jianling’s move today, the consequences would be unpredictable. It also allowed Chen Mu to see the methods of the Rain Governor.

“It will also be said that starting from today, Yu Shaoqin will truly treat you as an opponent, and you will have to deal with it very carefully in the future. He is absolutely capable of supporting the West Factory under the pressure of the Queen Mother. Strong. Besides…”

Lu Wuyi’s face was a little more complicated. “There have been rumors that Gu Jianling has torn up the marriage contract and intends to separate you and Vermillion Bird.”

“Did it spread so soon?” Chen Mumo sneered while rubbing his chin.

The woman’s snowy fingers felt the temperature from the teacup, and slowly said: “You have just been knighted, but at this moment he suddenly chooses to be your enemy. This is not only a prestige to kill you, but also the queen mother. He slapped his face.

What do you think he did this for? Is it to imply that he is leaving the Queen Mother and defecting to the emperor?

Or… he realizes that you are a threat in the capital? ”

Chen Mu shook his head: “I don’t know, maybe I really threatened him.”

The man feels bitter.

Within a day, the two big bosses in Beijing were enemies with him, which was really uncomfortable.

Lu Wuyi stared at Chen Muqi’s dark eyes, and his lips curled up: “So he wants to use a strong attitude to force the Queen Mother to give up on you and drive you out of the capital? If this is the case, you think the Queen Mother will be with you both. How to choose among people?”

Chen Mu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

But even a fool can answer this question.

Gu Jianling is the real heavy minister that the Queen Mother really relies on, and no one can shake his position. If Gu Jianling departed, it would be a fatal blow to the Queen Mother.

And what about Chen Mu?

He was just a genius in finding a case, with a bit of culture, and a little more handsome. In any case, he couldn’t compare to Gu Jianling.

Even if there is a Vermillion Bird wife around her, her role is limited.

“We all know the answer.”

Lu Wuyi said in a confident tone. “The Queen Mother will definitely abandon you. The value you have shown is not enough for the Queen Mother to take such a big risk.

To say something rebellious, unless the queen mother likes you, I am talking about the kind of love between men and women.

But do you think this is possible? ”
