System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Just when everyone was stunned and shocked by Xu Zhoujiao's sudden move.

In a flash, an even more jaw-dropping scene appeared.

It happened...

Xu Zhoujiao lowered her head slightly, staring at Hu Changqing who was trembling at her feet, and asked softly:

"He is the one who made you willing to give up the prosperity of Fengqi Palace and stay in such a remote fishing village."

"You've been hiding for three years... your mistress?"

Although Xuzhou Jiao's volume is not loud.

But the clear word "mistress" was like a thunderclap that exploded out of nowhere, and it reached the ears of everyone present.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere fell into silence.

Everyone's expression instantly became rich and subtle, and everyone turned their eyes to Hu Changqing.

Under Xuzhou Jiao's successive heavy hammers.

Hu Changqing's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead. She tried to defend herself, to excuse herself, and to distance herself from Hu Qianhua.

But under the control of Xuzhou Jiao's magic, she could do nothing.

I could only let my body tremble more and more, as if I would faint at any moment...

However, her "avoiding and silent" look, in the eyes of others, became irrefutable evidence of her "eloping" with her lover.

The originally vague rumors suddenly became clear and visible.

The only one was the 'mistress' not far away.

Looking at Hu Changqing's embarrassed and helpless look, a deep pity flashed across his eyes.

The violence hidden deep in my heart was instantly aroused.

He had a ferocious face, like an enraged beast, and let out a series of barking sounds at Xu Zhoujiao.

Trying to save Hu Changqing from the current unfavorable situation.

"Bitch! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Who on earth instructed you to dare to corrupt the Qing Dynasty in front of His Majesty..."

Perhaps, the current complex and tense situation suddenly flashed through his mind.

Hu Qianhua stopped talking at the right time and started to think of new words.

However, before he could change the "Qingqing" that was about to come out of his mouth into a suitable and respectful address.

Xu Zhoujiao on the opposite side had already taken over the conversation, and urged in a gentle but slightly mocking tone:

"Tell me, why don't you continue?"

"Just like before, call Qingqing tenderly~"

"For the sake of your sweetheart, you dare to hit even the king, so what are you afraid of if you call Qingqing a few more times!"

I saw the obvious mockery on Xu Zhoujiao's face.

Hu Qianhua's expression froze.

"Don't spread rumors to confuse the public. The Queen and I are siblings. How could we do something so unethical..."

Before Hu Qianhua could finish his whitewashing speech,

Xu Zhoujiao's clear and pleasant laughter rang out instantly, like a sharp blade piercing through his hypocrisy and concealment.

“Sister and brother? Hahahaha…”

"Which brother from a good family would look for a concubine to follow his sister's appearance? Is he sleeping with a maid openly, or is he trying to find a way to sleep with his sister?"

"You are worse than pigs and dogs, and you are actually talking about moral principles?"

At this point, Xu Zhoujiao suddenly covered her red lips and screamed.

It was as if he had just remembered something.

"Oh, I was negligent in saying this."

"You two are not siblings by blood, so if something really happened... it wouldn't be considered unethical."

"Besides..."

As she spoke, Xu Zhoujiao glanced at Hu Changqing, who was lying on the ground helpless and powerless, and continued:

"Without this kind of affection."

"Even if Hu Qianhua had ten courages, he would never dare to secretly take you away from Kyoto."

"After all, this is a crime punishable by death for the entire family!"

After saying that, Xu Zhoujiao turned her gaze to Yin Shuidu, who had been silent all this time, and her intentions were obvious in her eyes.

Before this, Yinshui Ferry had always been under the suppression of Hu Qianhua.

At this moment, his expression became extremely solemn, and the purple corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a straight line because of his anger and heartache.

The resentment and deception lingering deep in his heart were like a heavy stone, pressing on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

Until those clenched fists were opened again.

That belated question was finally uttered:

"Why do you want to follow him?"

Yin Shuidu stared at the figure who once said that she would stay with him until old age, and a trace of confusion and puzzlement flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Am I not good to you?"

Although these seven short words were faint in sound, they were filled with endless sadness and despair between the lines.

It seemed like this question was asking Hu Changqing as well as himself.

Unknowingly, Hu Changqing had regained his ability to speak.

Looking at Yin Shuidu who was surrounded by layers of loss and frustration, the anxiety and pain in his eyes turned into crystal tears that slowly slid down his face.

Her throat was weak and trembling, and every word she uttered seemed to be squeezed out with all her strength.

"No, Your Majesty."

"Qing'er did not betray His Majesty, nor did she elope with anyone. Everything Qing'er did was done with a reason!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please believe Qing'er!"

Hu Changqing's eyes were filled with pleading and expectation, as if he wanted to let the matter go with these pale and brief words.

However, facing Hu Changqing's tearful look, Yin Shuidu chose to continue asking. At this moment, he wanted an answer, an answer that would let him feel relieved.

"Then tell me, why did you fake your death to escape?"

"Why did you come to this small fishing village with Hu Qianhua?"

"If I hadn't accidentally discovered that the coffin was empty, when would you have confessed to me?"

"Or rather, will there ever be a day when you will confess to me?"

Being asked such a crucial question.

A look of astonishment flashed across Hu Changqing's face.

She couldn't figure it out:

Obviously, he had already lowered his attitude to such a low level. Why did Yin Shuidu still choose to dwell on this issue?

He knew that faking his own death to escape was a grave sin.

If she had to keep asking questions one by one, there would be no chance for her to return to the palace.

Maybe, it will bring disaster to one's life...

At this moment, an indescribable sense of uneasiness and panic emerged from the depths of Hu Changqing's heart, almost drowning her remaining rationality.

She knew very well that given the current situation.

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't come up with a convincing excuse to exonerate herself.

The only way to solve this situation now is...

Consider this.

Hu Changqing's gaze unconsciously turned to Hu Qianhua not far away, looking at his shocked and surprised expression.

He clenched his teeth and raised his head suddenly.

"It was him, he took me away!"

She pointed at Hu Qianhua and complained at the top of her lungs: "It was he who took me out of the imperial mausoleum and imprisoned me in this fishing village day after day..."

At this moment, Hu Qianhua, who had been regarded as an abandoned child, stared at Hu Changqing's little face full of panic.

Silently suppress the bitterness in your heart.

He simply took all the blame on himself.

"That's enough, stop pushing her!"

"It's all my fault!"

"I took advantage of Qingqing being poisoned and fed her the fake death pill, and then..."

However, this confession is not over yet.

All the words were cut off by Xu Zhoujiao's cold and sarcastic tone:

"Why, do you think that you will be alright if you find someone to take the blame?"

"This is too simple to think about..."
