The Queen's Secret

The Southern Kingdom sealed off the border, and in the name of treason, tried their best to capture the absconded Eighth Emperor Tang Zongyan, and there was a lot of commotion in the capital. Officials, large and small, were confiscated with the Eighth Emperor Tang Zongyan, and their homes were confiscated one after another. A large number of people took office, and some children from poor families also got the chance to be promoted, and there was a big change in the court all of a sudden.

It's just a new atmosphere and new style. After a large number of officials were dismissed, many of the cumbersome government affairs are running smoothly, and the efficiency is extremely high. I think the previous officials did not do their best for the court because they were members of the Eight Emperors. The emperor's move was praised by many people.

The Huangchuangmen also ushered in a batch of new blood, because of the relationship between Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan, many women rushed to join the Huangchuangmen to be on par with the two, so among the newcomers, the number of female catchers was more than before More than doubled.

Yuan Zhi was promoted to be the deputy sect master, and Qi Yuxin was also promoted to be the deputy sect master, but chose to stay in the old case room.

"why?"

Tao Mingyi asked, he didn't understand why Qi Yu insisted on staying in the old case room even though he had already become the deputy sect master.

"Sect Master, do you believe that the Skynet is not leaking?"

"Of course I believe."

Tao Mingyi nodded, this is his great experience since he was an arrest officer for many years.

"Then I believe that the case in the old case room needs me."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Tao Mingyi lowered his eyes in silence, and said for a while, "Well, I understand."

Perhaps it was God's will that made Qi Yuxin enter the old case room, and then many unsolved unsolved cases were re-investigated, and many truths that had sunk into the bottom of the sea were unearthed.

"However, you are now the deputy head of the sect anyway, so you should attend the banquet of the emperor's trap tonight!"

Tao Mingyi grabbed Qi Yu's heart, if he didn't instruct this person to attend, he might hide for other reasons.

"...it is good."

Qi Yuxin really didn't want to socialize, and she didn't like crowds, but what Tao Mingyi said made sense, and, after hearing that many female arresters came because of herself and Lin Qingxuan, she also needed to show up and cheer them up .

In the evening, the Huangzhumen held a banquet, and everyone had a great time. Qi Yuxin and Yuan Zhi became the focus of everyone, and it was rare for the two of them to accompany each other during the drink. Had a great time.

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.

Today Qi Yu wanted to go to the Emperor's Clan to have a social event, Zhao Muyan knew about it, so she didn't send Human Dao's old case room to search for people, she planned to rest earlier, but Tang Qi came instead.

"Sister Zhao."

After dismissing all the palace servants, Tang Qi called Zhao Muyan, sister Zhao.

"what happened?"

How could Tang Qi find him at this hour?

Tang Qi looked a little weird. He sat down, poured a cup of tea for himself and Zhao Muyan, and said, "Sister Zhao, sit down first."

Zhao Muyan sat down as promised, Tang Qi took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Muyan's expression, and spoke slowly.

"Sister Zhao, what is the relationship between you and Director Qi?"

After Zhao Muyan heard this, he suddenly felt his head buzzing, and his mind seemed to go blank for a moment.

"What do you think is the relationship?"

Zhao Muyan did not answer Tang Qi's question directly, but instead threw the question back to Tang Qi, who pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"What gossip did you hear in the palace?"

Zhao Muyan took a deep breath, his temples were throbbing with pain, he clenched his teeth, and endured the anger in his heart...

It seems that he is still not strict in discipline, otherwise how could there be so many people with broken mouths?

"There are rumors, and I don't believe them, but... I also feel that, Sister Zhao, you and the director of the Qi arrest... are too close."

After Tang Qi finished speaking, Zhao Muyan took a sip of tea leisurely and said slowly: "When Tang Zongyan is arrested, I will leave the palace and have nothing to do with the palace, so don't delve too much into my affairs. gone."

"So sister Zhao, did you admit it?"

Tang Qi was a little surprised. After all, he was also taught by Zhao Muyan. How could he not understand the meaning of these words.

Zhao Muyan remained silent, took a sip of tea, and looked up at Tang Qi, but the two did not speak.

"You want to leave the palace because of her?"

"No."

Zhao Muyan denied it outright, and continued: "Even without her, I still have to leave the palace."

"What if I don't let you go?"

Tang Qi said in a deep voice, Zhao Muyan looked down at Tang Qi and said, "How dare you?"

"Why don't I dare?"

Tang Qi frowned and looked at Zhao Muyan. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. He didn't want Zhao Muyan to leave. Maybe he was used to relying on him, so he couldn't do without Zhao Muyan..

Zhao Muyan stood up abruptly, looked at Tang Qi coldly, and said with a sneer, "You have grown up and become capable, and you can bite me back."

Zhao Muyan was really disappointed that the person in front of him who had been taught by himself would actually break his promise one day and bite himself back.

Seeing Zhao Muyan's heartbroken expression, Tang Qi lowered his eyes and said, "...Sister Zhao..."

"I just don't want you to leave."

There were really too many things going on recently, the more things happened, the more he relied on Zhao Muyan's help and advice from her, he couldn't imagine if Zhao Muyan would really be able to bear it if he left.

"You are the emperor."

Zhao Muyan stood, looked down at Tang Qi who was sitting upright, and said coldly: "The emperor is lonely, no one can accompany you until the end, even your future queen."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Qi remembered that when Tang Yuan passed away, because things happened too fast and there was no time to be sad, Tang Yuan laid down the earth under the gaze of everyone, even his queen, Zhao Muyan, his son, I have never shed a single tear for him.

"This is the emperor."

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, he sat down and said, "If you don't let me leave, let me die. I won't stay in this palace and grow old alone."

"Would you rather die than stay?"

"Yes."

Zhao Muyan said it decisively, there is no room for redemption...

"If you dare to die, I will kill Qi Yuxin."

After Tang Qi finished speaking, his eyes turned red, Zhao Muyan frowned, and fell silent...

She smiled, and her disappointment could be seen in the smile.

"I have taught you for so long, it seems... still a failure, I thought you would be a successful emperor."

Zhao Muyan changed the subject and said again: "No, it's still very successful, at least you can use other people's weaknesses to control others."

"I…"

Tang Qi wanted to say something, but Zhao Muyan suddenly said coldly: "I can help you up, and I can also kick you off the dragon chair!"

"You! Zhao Muyan!"

Tang Qi stood up and asked Zhao Muyan to look at each other. This was the first real quarrel between the two, as if they were both on the verge of life and death.

"Are you afraid?"

The corner of Zhao Muyan's mouth curled into a smile, and he asked again, "Are you afraid, Tang Qi?"

"You both need me and are afraid of me. When you really gain power, you will be afraid of losing it. At that time, you will be even more afraid of me. If I keep it, isn't it a dead end?"

Zhao Muyan took a step forward, Tang Qi took a step back, and she said, "Tang Qi, let me go."

Tang Qi looked into Zhao Muyan's eyes, it was dark and lonely there, as if to erode people...

"Okay, I lost, I will let you go, according to the agreement between the late emperor and you."

Tang Qi sighed, and when he was about to leave, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Is she... treating you well?"

Can women and women, love that goes against the world, really be blessed and accepted by others?

"good, very good."

"That's good."

Tang Qi stopped talking. After leaving Zhao Muyan's bedroom, he stood in front of the courtyard for a long time, and finally sighed...

It was only when Zhao Muyan said that he would pull himself down from the throne that he realized...

Zhao Muyan will be his confidant, and also his confidant's serious trouble...

The banquet at Huang Clan's Gate didn't end until Zishi, and after Zishi, one could not enter the palace again unless there was something urgent, so Qi Yu went back to Tao's house to rest.

It's just that she just drank wine, she didn't want to fall asleep so soon, so she went to the kitchen to make hangover tea.

"Yu Xin?"

Tao Mingyi just came in, Qi Yu gave him a hearty look, and said with a smile, "Father, are you coming to make sober tea too?"

"Ah."

Tao Mingyi smiled, and Qi Yu handed Tao Mingyi a bowl of sober tea tacitly, and the two father and daughter sat at the kitchen table and chatted while drinking.

"Yu Xin, you're going to be nineteen, isn't it time to find a gentleman?"

Now that Tang Zongyan is in exile and the court is at peace, Tao Mingyi's only worry is his daughter's lifelong event.

"Father...you might as well worry about yourself first."

Qi Yu smiled softly, Tao Mingyi was in his early forties, even though the matchmaker was about to break the threshold of Tao's house, Tao Mingyi refused them all.

"What are you worried about me doing, first solve you, then I will solve mine."

"Pfft..."

Qi Yu smiled softly. It was the first time Tao Mingyi saw Qi Yu smiling so coquettishly. He had an idea in his mind and asked, "But you have someone you like?"

"...Um."

Qi Yu agreed gently, not looking at Tao Mingyi, not because she was shy, but...I don't know how to tell Tao Mingyi that she likes a woman...and still...the queen mother!

"Does that person like you?"

"Well... I like it very much."

When Qi Yu thought of Zhao Muyan, his heart felt sweet, but he felt guilty again, how should he talk to Tao Mingyi?

Zhao Muyan's identity must not be revealed now...

"Then why hasn't he come to propose marriage?"

Tao Mingyi has been thinking about drinking a cup of son-in-law tea for a long time, why is this man so lazy in his work...

"Father... just leave it alone."

In Qi Yu's mind, this was the first time Tao Mingyi and himself had talked about such a private matter, and he felt a little awkward.

"...Hey! Forget it, you young people have your own considerations."

Even though he said that, Tao Mingyi was already guessing who this man was?Could it be that Meng Gan, or... Yuan Zhi?

"Father, will you support me whoever I like?"

Qi Yu asked cautiously, Tao Mingyi nodded heavily, and said, "As long as the other party is not a criminal, it's absolutely fine!"

"That…"

Qi Yu paused for a moment, thought over and over again, and finally said it.

"What if the one I like is a woman?"
