Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 921: Imperial Eagle Dog (3)
Duanmuxiang, because he was so outstanding, had become a thorn in the emperor's side since a long time ago.He must have realized this at the time, so he simply designed a scene of suspended animation and escaped with an excuse.Of course, Duanmuqi was the most suitable heir he recognized. In order to completely dispel the court's doubts, Duanmuqi could not inherit the position of patriarch.So the two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, played a play together, and asked the old lady Yue to act as an internal response to assist Duanmu Yang to ascend to the throne.Duanmu Yang is a person who has no ambitions but only seeks immediate benefits, and the court slowly relaxed its vigilance towards them.

During these few years, anyone would be terrified to think about the things that Duanmu Xiangyin and Duanmu Qi were planning together in the dark.

No matter how powerful the enemy is on the bright side, the scary thing is that he hides in the dark, he can see you, he targets you everywhere, and you——

But there was nothing he could do about it.

The emperor stumbled this time, which was really enough to drive him half to death.

Duanmu Qi bent his lips, "You came forward to lure me here, or is it my grandfather's idea?"

Yin Shu did not deny, "If the imperial grandmother is not qualified to invite the old Patriarch to show up, then his original wife, who is also devoted to him and has endured for him for many years—does she have such weight?"

Duanmuqi obviously guessed everything, so he still cooperates like this?

This point made Yin Shu feel the most uncertain.

When he was speaking, he kept staring at Duanmuqi's face, not letting go of any change of expression on his face.

Duanmuqi didn't hide it either.

He lowered his eyes and took another sip of his tea, and then smiled half-truthfully, "My grandfather has been able to bear it until now, and even pushed Duanmu Yang out as a stepping stone. Chu'er is a woman with a heart, and she is used to self-willedness." , She took it for granted that you wouldn't take it seriously, right? Do you really think my grandfather would disregard the overall situation for this kind of thing?"

The Empress Dowager Song was not enough to impress him, so couldn't the Yue family be too?

"So that's how it is!" Yin Shu suddenly realized, "No wonder you came into the palace so cooperatively. It turns out that you are only because you are convinced that what we do this time will only be useless."

Duanmuqi smiled, noncommittal.

Once Song Chuxi's girl's obsession was aroused, there was nothing anyone could do about it. She actually surrendered to the imperial court and wanted to lure Duan Muxiang to show up.She was so eager and urgent. After all, it was because of the Empress Dowager Song who wanted to force Duan Muxiang out before the Empress Dowager Song died.

Thinking of this, Duanmuqi suddenly sighed heavily.

He stood up and walked to the screen again, but after a while he suddenly changed his tone and said: "Actually, maybe, my grandfather himself is not such a hard-hearted person."

"It should be!" Yin Shu said, but there was a deep meaning in his tone.

He sat without moving, only looked at Duanmu Qi's back and said: "Even if the combined weight of the emperor's grandmother and Mrs. Duanmu is not enough to shake the old Patriarch Duanmu, after all, Patriarch Duanmu and you are here now, plus a You——this will always be bigger, right?"

Song Chuxi certainly wouldn't have such thoughts, but this should be the emperor's wishful thinking.

"Me?" Duanmuqi laughed as if hearing a joke when he heard the words.

"Why?" Yin Shu frowned, got up and walked to him and stood side by side with him, turning his head to look at his side face, "He has high hopes for you, and you are his heir cultivated by himself. It's not nice to say , Duanmuxiang is old, how long can he expect his life? The Duanmu family may not lose too much without him, and he will never be willing to leave Patriarch Duanmu here with you, right? By then— — No matter how thoughtful your previous deployment was, with no leader among the dragons, wouldn’t it be a complete failure? All your efforts were useless?”

Duanmu Qi's complexion remained unchanged, but the corners of his lips caught off guard with a bright and almost ecstatic arc.

He also turned his head, looked into Yin Shu's eyes firmly, and confirmed clearly: "Are you so sure that without me, no one in the Duanmu family can play?"

His tone could not be said to be teasing or self-deprecating.

Yin Shu looked into his starry eyes, and was at a loss at first, but he was already sharp in thinking, and when he thought about it carefully, his expression changed involuntarily.

Seeing him like this, Duanmuqi smiled more happily, "Don't you all think that my grandfather's forbearance is amazing and extraordinary? With such deep scheming and such thoughtful and meticulous arrangements, how could he put His real betting chips are on the table to be attacked by others?"

Yin Shu looked at his increasingly sinister smile, but his expression became darker and uglier.

Intuitively speaking, he felt that Duanmuqi was unparalleled in scheming and means, and he was already a rare opponent capable of competing in the world.

But now that the situation has developed to this point, Duanmuqi's words don't seem to confuse the public at all.

"Understood?" Duanmuqi continued to smile as if nothing had happened: "It's useless for you to place such high hopes on me. To put it bluntly, I was only in charge of leading the battle and used it as a shield to deceive others. Of course, what would you do?" I can't help it, I will continue to do what I should do, if it really doesn't work—"

Duanmuqi's words, only halfway through, stopped abruptly.

Yin Shu answered his words with doubts in his heart, "Your family still has an eighth son!"

The old Baduanmutang of the Duanmu family!
That Duanmu Lao Ba who has always been known as a playboy and is not favored by anyone?

Is that person the trump card reserved by the Duanmu family for this world competition?Although judging from the information currently available, Duanmutang is a complete dandy, completely useless, but——

Who can guarantee that he is not hiding something?

Duanmuqi's expression was frank, as if he didn't care much about himself or the future fate of the entire Duanmu family.

Although Yin Shu didn't fully believe what he said, but after thinking quickly in his mind, his expression became tense, "You knew that girl was going to attack Mrs. Duanmu, but you deliberately betrayed this flaw, so——now you are with Mrs. Duanmu?" That girl has the same thoughts, do you want to wait to lure the old Patriarch Duanmu to show up?"

He just couldn't figure out why Song Chuxi was so sure that even if he knew they were going to attack the Yue family, Duanmuqi would cooperate and submit, but if Duanmuqi used him as a pawn and Duanmutang because of Duanmuxiang paving-stones and grudge--

So--

This seems to be explainable.

Just because of personal grievances, Duanmuqi ignored the overall situation?
