All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"Why don't you want to go back?"

Queen Mother Qu walked out from the heavy gauze curtain, walked up to Hua Buqi, and looked at him condescendingly.

Hua Buqi lowered his head, his expression hidden in the darkness.

"His Highness said that all slaves will follow the Queen Mother from now on."

Queen Mother Qu was not satisfied with this answer, "She said she wanted you to stay, so you stayed? If she wanted you to die, wouldn't you die too?"

Hua Buqi remained indifferent and said: "She is the king and I am the slave. If the king wants the slave to die, the slave has to die. If she wants the slave to stay, the slave has to stay."

Queen Mother Qu seemed unwilling to give up and asked again: "Is it just because she is the king and you are her slave?"

As she spoke, she pulled off the sachet from Hua Buqi's waist and sniffed it gently in front of her face.

"This fragrance is the same as hers. It seems that you really love her..."

After saying that, she threw the sachet on the ground and said coldly: "Go back, I don't need you here."

Hua Buqi glanced at the sachet, but did not pick it up. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up. The moment he raised his head, a pair of misty eyes fell on Queen Mother Qu's eyes.

He said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess treats her slaves very well, and the slaves treat her like pearls and jade, so they don't dare to climb high."

Queen Mother Qu sneered, "But she gave you to me easily. She treated you well? Not necessarily?"

She pointed to the position of the violinist and continued: "Do you know why I called you here again today?"

Hua Buqi remained silent, and Queen Mother Qu continued: "Because right here, they just killed a luthier with a cane. Before the luthier's blood had dried, your Highness the Princess sent someone to find you.

Do you know who she likes? Prince Yu..."

Queen Mother Qu said and walked to the position in front of Qu Baiyu again, pointing to Hua Buqi.

"He was sitting here, and we were enjoying singing and dancing together, but just one sentence from the two of them killed the piano player... What a pair of beautiful people.

When you weren't around, they were flirting and acting like a golden girl... Oh, it's so nice..."

Her expression gradually became uncomfortable, and she slowly walked in front of Hua Buqi, and bent down so that she was at the same height as Hua Buqi.

"Hua Buqi, you are just a luther player. A luther player that no one cares about and no one loves..."

Hua Buqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the mist under her eyes gradually became thicker.

The watery fox eyes are even more pitiful than when they charm all living beings. Queen Mother Qu's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the fog from his eyes.

"At the end of the day, we're all the same."

"My Majesty, you are joking. You are the Queen Mother and you were born so noble and beautiful. How can you be the same as a slave?"

Hua Buqi said softly.

Queen Mother Qu gave a bitter smile and looked at her face in the mirror not far away, feeling sad.

"It doesn't matter if you are the Queen Mother, or if you were born with dignity? It's not like you fell in love with someone who doesn't love you... you've made a mistake all your life."

Hua Buqi said: "No, the glory of the empress is still the same, and she still has a long life."

Queen Mother Qu looked at him instantly and asked uncertainly: "Still glorious? Do you really think I am not old?"

Hua Buqi shook his head and looked at Queen Mother Qu with eyes as passionate as lava. Those charming black pupils seemed to be able to peer into her inner world.

"Compared with the princess, the empress is indeed not as immature as the nineteen-year-old princess. But the charm of a woman does not come from this. What really fascinates men is the charm and story of a woman."

His eyes contained a deep and tolerant power, firm and passionate, as if no matter what kind of wind and rain he went through, his eyes remained the same.

He gradually took hold of Queen Mother Qu's hand. His palm was big and warm, and it warmed Queen Mother Qu's cold hand in just a moment.

"The empress and the slave are indeed the same. The empress and the slave are in the same boat... Then let the slave love the empress as he loves himself..."

"Snapped!"

Queen Mother Qu suddenly threw his hand away.

"presumptuous!"

There was indescribable humiliation and anger on her face, as if she had been humiliated by the slave in front of her.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?!"

Don’t abandon the flowers but don’t be afraid.

"It's the slave who's being presumptuous. The slave is too stupid."

As he spoke, he knelt down again, raising his head and exposing his white neck, looking like he was ready to be slaughtered.

"The slave is a person abandoned by the world. If the Queen Mother is not willing to pity the slave, then let the slave die."

Ruju's eyes are firm and piercing, like the warm sun in winter, much brighter than the candlelight in the bedroom.

With his beautiful face, he gazed at Queen Mother Qu affectionately, pulled out the hairpin from the top of his head and held it in Queen Mother Qu's hands, putting his life completely in her hands.

"If you don't believe it, feel free to cut open the slave's heart and see what belongs to you."

After saying this, he held Queen Mother Qu's hand and tried to hold it hard. Queen Mother Qu was shocked and quickly let go of the hairpin.

The hosta shattered as soon as it hit the ground, and the crisp sound seemed to tear Queen Mother Qu's heart into pieces.

Hua Buqi stopped. He knew that he was going to win.

Queen Mother Qu panted slightly and looked at Hua Buqi, who had a calm expression in front of her. His determined and slightly aggressive eyes, unique to young people, actually made her heart that had been silent for a long time tremble.

"...Play me a song, just play the song that day...when we first met."

……

It's getting dark.

Yuan Tong'er stood in front of the window and kept looking in the direction of the palace.

Qu Baiyu sat at the table not far behind her, drinking lightly while quietly looking at the crimson figure.

"You used to love wearing plain clothes, and the most beautiful ones were lotus root yellow. Why do you fall in love with red more and more now?"

Yuan Tong'er didn't answer, still facing away from him.

Qu Baiyu put down the wine glass, walked slowly to the window, and hugged Yuan Tong'er from behind like he did when the friendship was still there in the past.

This time Yuan Tong'er did not refuse and allowed him to hug her intimately, like a lover reunited after a long separation.

"Have you changed your fragrance? It seems to be richer than before..."

Yuan Tong'er didn't answer his words, and suddenly said calmly: "Qu Baiyu, the palace door is locked."

Qu Baiyu didn't notice the difference in her and said perfunctorily: "Isn't this what you want?"

She deliberately lured herself out, and by now, Qu Baiyu had guessed the reason. I just want to dedicate an actor to Queen Mother Qu, and Qu Baiyu will not really go against her.

Yuan Tong'er turned around, "I mean... we really can't be together anymore."

She didn't look like she was joking, and Qu Baiyu actually felt for a moment that she was going to leave in the next second.

He couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Yuan Tong'er said: "Do you think I just gave your aunt a piano player?"

Qu Baiyu was stunned and his expression became serious.

Yuan Tong'er smiled and stretched out her hands towards him.

"Tie me up! You have seen that I sent the violinist there. It will be the same whether you tie him up today or tomorrow..."

Qu Baiyu looked at Yuan Tong'er in disbelief. Only then did he understand why Yuan Tong'er suddenly wanted to present an actor to Queen Mother Qu.

He immediately let go of his arms looking around Yuan Tong'er and ran out the door.

"Cui Xiaoyi! Prepare your horse!"
