Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Zhou Huaimin...

Queen Mother Ruan, the beads on your abacus are about to jump into other people's faces.

Not only does he want to keep me imprisoned by his side, he also wants Princess Yeonsan to marry into the Daxi clan.

It's simply killing people and destroying their hearts. It's totally unethical!

If Princess Yanshan knew your plan, she would fight you to the death, even at the cost of her life.

Not to mention the princess, even he himself was thinking of fighting Ruan Qing regardless of the consequences.

It feels terrible to be so angry that the breath is stuck in your chest and you can't let it go up or down.

But he was just thinking about it and wouldn't actually do it.

When the other party holds all the initiative, acting rashly will only bring humiliation upon yourself.

No matter what, Princess Yanshan saved his life, and he couldn't repay her with evil and kill her.

Ruan Qing didn't hear what he was thinking. If she had heard it, she would definitely have responded with a few kind words.

Disputes between countries are a life-and-death struggle.

You have been setting up the plan in Jiangnan for such a long time, aren't you planning to incite internal strife in Daxi and send troops to the Central Plains?

If it weren't for the helpful people around me, and if I hadn't had a golden finger that could hear all the bad thoughts towards me, I would be dead now.

Now that I have the upper hand, I just want to get you into my own bowl, so what's there to be angry about?

Yanshan and a group of assassins who had been lurking outside had agreed in advance that Zhou Huaimin would come forward to find out Ruan Qing's identity.

He went to Yanshan again to perform a dance. When everyone was intoxicated, he released a signal, locked onto the target, and killed the Queen Mother in one fell swoop.

But after waiting and waiting, until the banquet at Yaoyuefang was over and the guests left, there was still no signal.

"Mr. Zhou, what's going on? Why haven't you released any signals?

Isn't it Queen Dowager Dae-hee and her entourage who entered the room with you?"

As soon as the banquet was over, Princess Yanshan found Zhou Huaimin and questioned him.

"Your Highness, the person watching the dance with me tonight is indeed the Queen Mother's man.

But she didn't come at all. There is an old saying in Daxi that a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

Given her status, even if she had some doubts about our background, she would never take the risk herself.

Just like the assassination on Ming Mountain, the person who went there was just a substitute for her.

The Queen Mother is not here. If we act on our own, what good will it do except revealing our identities? " Zhou Huaimin was silent for a moment and then continued.

In order to protect Princess Yanshan, Zhou Huaimin was willing to give himself to Ruan Qing as a hostage.

But before Princess Yeonsan left Daxi, he naturally could not stay with Ruan Qing, otherwise the lie would not be coverable.

For this reason, after Ruan Qing and others left, he still stayed in Yaoyuefang.

"Damn it, the court of Daxi praised their queen mother to the skies, but in the end she turned out to be a coward.

However, she is so afraid of death that she must hate Yin Zhen who disguised himself as Chai Qiong in her heart, and naturally she will vent her anger on the Qi Lu Chai family.

Once she kills Yin Zhen and raids the Chai family, our plan won’t be considered a failure.” Yan Shan gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to save Yin Zhen?" Zhou Huaimin hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Yin Zhen was one of Princess Yanshan's most capable generals, and was loyal to her and to Northern Liang.

“What’s there to save? As a spy, if I can use my death to gain a great victory for the country, that would be the highest honor.

Let alone him, even if it was me, if there was such an opportunity, I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life." Yanshan said with a cold face.

Zhou Huaimin was dazed. Yes, this was the Princess Yanshan he was familiar with.

She only has Beiliang and her brother in her heart.

As long as she can help her brother seize the throne and make Beiliang stronger, she can give everything.

To her, love affairs are not worth mentioning.

Her beauty is her weapon against her enemies.

When he rescued me, he saw me as a good chess piece to deal with Daxi.

Sun An said that she was willing to go to Yaoyuefang disguised as an oiran and work as a spy just for his sake, which was simply ridiculous.

Instead, he developed some complicated feelings towards Yanshan.

He originally wanted to point out that Queen Dowager Daxi might not necessarily, as she expected, vent her anger on the Chai family because of Chai Qiong, thus causing the border generals to mourn.

If they misjudged the news and fell into the trap set by Empress Dowager Ruan, the tragedy would follow.

But seeing Princess Yanshan's cold and paranoid look, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Perhaps he was moved by the prosperous times described by Ruan Qing, or perhaps he was essentially a Daxi person.

Even though he harbored strong hatred towards the royal family and officialdom of Daxi because of his parents' death.

Deep down, he still didn't want to see the people of Daxi trapped in the flames of war.

After all, he had lived in this country until he was seventeen years old, and had received kindness and warmth from countless neighbors, relatives, friends, and teachers.

During the years he worked as a spy for Beiliang, he was always in a state of extreme contradiction and vacillation.

It's just that it was concealed very well and no one has ever discovered it.

Ruan Qing naturally didn't know what happened after she left Yaoyuefang.

After returning to the inn, I had a good night's sleep. The next afternoon, Banban came back.

He also brought back two letters, one from the emperor and one from Lin Haoming.

After reading the letter, Ruan Qing, who was already in a good mood, felt even better.

She paced in the yard for a while and called Sun An over:

"Sun An, go and deliver a letter to Prefect Su, Transport Commissioner Wang, and others, and tell them that General Dingyuan Chai Qiong of this city is plotting treason and ambushed the Empress Dowager on Ming Mountain. He will be escorted back to the capital to await trial soon."

"Yes." Sun An responded, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left the inn.

In the evening, Qiao Jun came over. She looked at Ruan Qing expectantly:

"Ma'am, my house has been thoroughly cleaned and the yard arranged for you has been arranged. When do you plan to move in?"

"So soon! Now that everything is packed, let's move in tomorrow." Ruan Qing thought for a moment and decided to move in tomorrow.

There are a lot of things to do next, and it’s not very convenient to stay in the inn all the time.

The Qiao family's ancestral home is a large courtyard with five entrances, and it is indeed much more convenient to live there.

After breakfast the next day, Ruan Qing asked everyone to pack up their things, check out of the hotel, and prepare to move to the Qiao family.

The fake Chai Qiong, whose legs were broken and whose martial arts skills were wasted, was tidied up and sat in the same carriage with Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing tilted his head to look at him and said, "You seem to be in good spirits. You will be escorted back to the capital in two days. I wonder if any of your accomplices will come to intercept the prisoner?"

"The assassination was my personal act. If you want to use me to lure accomplices, I suggest you just forget it." The fake Chai Qiong spoke indifferently.

"He is a man, but regicide is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of his clan.

Aren't you afraid that after you die, the Chai family members who were implicated by you for no reason will come to settle accounts with you?" Ruan Qing said with a smile.

The fake Chai Qiong turned her head away, closed her eyes and said nothing.
