Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 920: Imperial Eagle Dog (2)
Along the way, the servant who followed beside him kept looking sideways at his expression, muttering nervously in his heart, fearing that something might happen, and secretly admiring the courage and courage of the Patriarch Duanmu.

The snow on all the royal roads in the palace was watched and cleared at any time. The group walked quickly, turned a few corners, and stopped in a square of a palace after the wind blew for a long time.

Duanmuqi opened his eyes.

The palace in front of him was majestic, but because of the layer of snow on the roof, it looked extraordinarily desolate and deserted.

At this time, the sky had already brightened up, but it was still very cold early in the morning.

He got off the chariot, without asking any more questions, and walked directly into the main hall.

The brazier was lit in the hall, and the palace lanterns were also lit, but there was no one there.

A palace maid came in to deliver tea, but she didn't dare to look up from the beginning to the end, she put down the teacup and backed away respectfully.

Duanmuqi didn't ask anything from the beginning to the end, only he didn't touch the tea, but he stood in front of a huge screen with his hands behind his back, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on it.

Today's weather is not good, even if the wind and snow stopped, the weather has not cleared up, and about half an hour later, the sky is still gray, and the lights in this room reflect each other, this feeling is really not very good.

Duanmuqi was fascinated by the painting, when the door behind him was pushed open again.

He didn't look back, and still enjoyed the painting calmly.

Yin Shu walked in from the outside, first glanced at the teacup on the table, walked over to touch it, and saw that it was no longer hot, so he raised his chin, "Change it."

"Yes!" The maidservant at the door answered in a low voice, and hurried out holding the teacup, and brought in two cups of hot tea after a while.

"Why is Patriarch Duanmu in such a good mood?" Yin Shu teased, and sat down on a chair casually.

"Is His Royal Highness Kang Wang interested? If you are filial to His Majesty the Emperor, can you find time to catch up with me?" Duanmuqi smiled, then turned around, found a chair to sit down, and drank tea with him.

The two of them are really like old friends who have reunited after a long absence.

Yin Shu took a sip of tea, and then looked at him with a smile on his face, "I'm the one who came over, isn't Patriarch Duanmu not surprised at all?"

"Accident?" Duanmuqi smiled, and lightly tapped the outer wall of the tea bowl with his finger, "Looking at the current palace, besides His Royal Highness Kang Wang, is there another person who can come and go as he pleases like this?"

He said, paused for a moment, looked at Yin Shu with a deeper smile in his eyes, and said, "This time, did you pass the imperial decree again?"

Yin Shu didn't care about his jokes, raised his eyebrows, and continued drinking tea.

Duanmuqi didn't feel disappointed, so he took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "Can I ask, did you sell this favor to Yin Zhan or Song Chuxi?"

Yin Shu pursed his lips, stared down at the green tea soup in the tea bowl, and suddenly smiled mockingly, "Patriarch Duanmu, you really know everything well, since you know it's a play to divert the tiger away from the mountain, why do you have to try so hard?" Cooperate?"

Duanmuqi knew that someone deliberately led him into the palace, there is no doubt about it.

In fact, before coming here, Yin Shu knew in his heart that they couldn't fool this person, but when he heard the eunuch report that Duanmu Qi was really invited to enter the palace, his mood was really complicated .

Not only because of Duanmuqi's self-inflicted trap, but also because of Song Chuxi's overall grasp of the situation.

When she made this request, he questioned, what if Duanmu Qi refused to submit?But she said very firmly that Duanmuqi would definitely cooperate.

After doing this, there is really no sense of accomplishment.

Yin Shu laughed at himself in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He raised his eyes to meet Duanmuqi's gaze again, and said lightly: "Patriarch Duanmu, you really miscalculated this time. This king was indeed young and frivolous, and there were some things that were beyond the rules and irregularities, but if you want to talk about false edicts ——With the holy words of the father, what kind of place do you think this palace is?"

He said, paused for a moment, then shook his head solemnly and said: "You guessed wrong, I didn't pass on the imperial decree, and I didn't sell favors to anyone. The oral decree was indeed issued by the emperor. Please come to the palace to sit down, Patriarch Duanmu." Sitting is also the golden mouth opened by the father. This king is just idle and bored, and thinks that we have met for a while, so I came to meet and talk with you."

Hearing this, Duanmu Qi couldn't help frowning slightly.

He has been paying attention to Yin Shu's every move, and is sure that he is not lying.

but--

He really didn't expect that the person Song Chuxi came to find directly was not Yin Shu.

Seeing his distraction for the first time, Yin Shu curled up his lips into a smile again, and said with emotion: "No matter what kind of favor, if you borrow it, you will always have to pay it back."

He said it as if he was missing something.

Duanmuqi came back to his senses, he didn't know why he saw a little emotion that seemed to be lonely in his eyes, it felt like he saw himself in his eyes.

Yes.

That girl Song Chuxi has always settled accounts clearly.

She had already owed Yin Shu's favor before, and this time it was such a big event, if she wanted to leave Yin Shu's relationship——

Knowing that Yin Shu's thoughts towards her were impure, if she came to her again, it would be a naked use of her.

She is indeed unscrupulous, and most of the time she is very unprincipled, but there is one principle that is very clear——

She never trades her feelings.

She was like that to him at the beginning, knowing that she could just give him a few words to coax him, and they could continue to play around with each other, but she wanted to make it very clear that what she owed him was what she owed him, absolutely not He will compromise with him because of favors and feelings.

And now, she probably does the same to Yin Shu.

Duanmuqi didn't have the heart to grieve for Yin Shu, he quickly regained his mind, took another sip of tea, then stroked the outer wall of the tea bowl and said slowly: "So, their Song family has already treated you Beidi's court has surrendered and is willing to be your court's eagle dog?"

Yin Shu blinked, and then smiled without any personal emotion, "At least that's what she said in front of Father."

"Hmph!" Duanmuqi snorted coldly with no clear meaning.

Yin Shu continued: "The old Patriarch of Duanmu is really a strange person. Knowing that the court is afraid of him, he simply took his salary from the bottom of the pot and ran away to death. He used a straw bag of Duanmu to cover up people's eyes and ears, and relieved the court's wariness of your Duanmu family. Duanmu The years when Yang was in power were enough for you to cooperate with him internally and externally, continue to operate behind the scenes, and consolidate your strength? Now that six years have passed, I think you two, grandparents and grandchildren, have already mastered everything. Such deception, You should know that this has touched the bottom line of the father. He is very angry. I have never seen him so angry. In this case, the girl did what she liked and offered to help him plan It is impossible for him to refuse this matter. After all——although the personal matter of the imperial grandmother made him lose face, it is much better to lose face than to lose the throne. conspiracy, this is the top priority."
