The Queen's Secret

"Dine with me, don't you mind, arrest the director together?"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, he looked at the slightly absent-minded person in front of him, wanted to get angry, but couldn't get up, and even felt that her absent-minded appearance was actually a bit cute.

"No... don't mind, it's my honor."

Qi Yu carefully organized her thoughts, but her body was already sitting upright, her eyes kept looking at the table, and she didn't dare to raise her head. Now she felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't figure out why Zhao Muyan wanted him to have dinner with her.

Zhao Muyan didn't say anything, just raised his chopsticks, picked up some food and put it in his bowl.

"Don't be cautious about arresting the director, just pick up your chopsticks!"

Her tone was indifferent, like what an ordinary person would say during a meal, but Qi Yu was very clear-headed. She knew that the person in front of her was the mother of a country, someone she could not offend.

Qi Yuxin raised his chopsticks, but he only dared to eat the rice in front of him. Seeing this, Zhao Muyan just smiled, raised his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of meat.

"Catch the director together, and pass the bowl over."

Qi Yuxin raised her eyes to look at Zhao Muyan, only to see that she was holding her sleeve with one hand and holding the meat with chopsticks with the other, her movements were elegant, and she was still waiting for him.

Qi Yu was stunned for a while, and immediately passed the bowl over. Zhao Muyan slowly put the meat into Qi Yuxin's bowl. It was really like what Tao Mingyi would do when eating at home...

Suddenly, Qi Yu felt that her hands and lips were trembling a little. This was the first time that she felt that the atmosphere was too weird, and she couldn't escape or solve the situation...

Qi Yu didn't know what to eat, but felt that Zhao Muyan's eyes were always glued to her body, and this feeling was uncomfortable.

"Arrest the director together."

After a long time, Zhao Muyan opened his mouth. Qi Yu subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Zhao Muyan. Approaching but not daring to approach.

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

Qi Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, waiting for Zhao Muyan's order.

Looking at Qi Yuxin's reserved look, Zhao Muyan couldn't help showing a slight smile, and said without getting angry, "I heard that the director of Qi arrest was investigating an unsolved headless murder case in the capital eight years ago, right?"

As soon as Qi Yu heard about the case, her heart seemed to feel a little more stable, as if in a strange environment, something she was familiar with finally appeared.

"Well, yes, empress."

Qi Yu was a little hungry. He took a few mouthfuls of food just now, but he didn't feel like he had eaten anything.

"Can you talk to Ben Gong?"

Zhao Muyan also put down the bowl and chopsticks, propped his cheek with one hand, and tilted his head, as if he was interested in something, just waiting for Qi Yu to open his mouth.

Zhao Muyan has already put on this posture, if he refuses, it will greatly dispel Zhao Muyan's interest and face...

"OK."

Qi Yuxin is actually not used to talking about the case with people who have nothing to do with the case, but the person in front of him is the queen, so she can't offend her. Fortunately, she has no influence on the case.

Qi Yu began to talk about what was found on Zhao Erfu's body, how he found the head, and why he suspected that Chen Lin was the murderer.

Having said that, half an hour has passed, but one spoke energetically, while the other listened with gusto, but didn't notice that the food on the table was completely cold.

What Qi Yu doesn't know is that this is just the beginning, and in the future, this will become the most important interaction between the two...

"This case is really tortuous and bizarre... Director Qi Arrest is indeed a careful and rigorous person."

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Qi Yuxin's cheeks suddenly felt a little hot. She was not used to other people's praise, and it came from the current queen's such straightforward praise.

"The Queen's Empress is too famous. This minister is only doing his own business, and he also depends on the help of Chief Lin."

Qi Yu was polite for a while, then looked at the food in front of him, only to find that the food was completely cold.

At this time, Zhao Muyan picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and started to eat, as if he didn't care about the cold food.

Qi Yu's heart changed a bit towards Zhao Muyan. She thought that the women in the palace paid great attention to these details, but she never thought that Zhao Muyan was so informal.

Qi Yu also picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat, but she still didn't dare to pick up the food, as if her chopsticks touched the food on the plate, she would offend Zhao Muyan.

Zhao Muyan also noticed it naturally, and his beautiful eyes smiled, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "I've finished eating, I'll trouble Director Qi to help me eat up the rest."

Zhao Muyan was stunned for a moment when he saw that there were still many dishes left in front of him.

"Empress Empress, my humble minister..."

How can I finish this...

"It doesn't matter, eat as much as you can."

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, he rested his cheek on one hand and tilted his head to look at Qi Yuxin. The curiosity in his eyes seemed to be directed at Qi Yuxin, which made Qi Yuxin blush again.

Qi Yu felt that being watched like this, she couldn't bear to eat anyway, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "My minister is ready to eat too."

The only way is to not eat it, and let the small kitchen cook some pasta for myself when I go back to the old case room.

Zhao Muyan also seemed to have expected Qi Yuxin to say this, and he didn't force it. This person is too tight, and he will run away instead. Zhao Muyan still has this observation ability at his fingertips.

"This meal is very interesting, thank you for arresting the director."

Zhao Muyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of the tea was overflowing, and the fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks.

"It's the humble minister who should thank the empress."

Qi Yuxin immediately stood up, bent down, and bowed, as if this was the only way to keep the proper distance from Zhao Muyan.

"I…"

Before Zhao Muyan finished speaking, the eunuch came in, and Zhao Muyan obviously frowned, but he didn't attack immediately.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Empress Empress, the emperor invites you."

Hearing this sentence, Qi Yu felt that the pressure in her body was relieved, and she was finally able to leave here.

"I know, Li'er."

Zhao Muyan stood up, turned to look at Li'er, and said, "Send Qi to arrest the chief."

"Yes."

Qi Yuxin followed Lier and left Fengxi Palace, not far away, Qi Yuxin told Lier not to send her away.

"Hey, let's arrest the director."

Li'er stopped Qi Yuxin who was about to leave, and continued: "Our Empress is very fond of you!"

Qi Yu listened intently, her body froze, the smile that was hanging on the corner of her mouth became a little stiff, she could only politely say: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness, and I will leave."

Qi Yuxin finally left the area of ​​Fengxi Palace, it was getting late, she walked all the way back to the old case room, but saw Lin Qingxuan waiting for her halfway.

"Qingxuan?"

Seeing the familiar figure, Qi Yu felt more at ease now, and after walking over, Lin Qingxuan showed a smile and said, "You're finally back!"

Seeing that Lin Qingxuan was still holding a greased paper bag in his arms, he was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Qingxuan, why are you here?"

Lin Qingxuan sighed, and said: "Wait for you, I know you won't be able to eat much in Fengxi Palace, am I waiting for you with food?"

Lin Qingxuan took out the greased paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is the roast chicken from the Yellow Crane Tower in Beijing, let's go, go back and eat!"

When Qi Yuxin saw it, he was suddenly moved, as if in this cool night, there was a little bit of warmth in his heart.

"it is good."

This time Qi Yuxin didn't say thank you any more, because some of the polite words were too much, and instead they made a difference. At this moment, Qi Yuxin didn't want to say these things.

The two returned to the old case room, and after a packed meal, they talked about what happened in Fengxi Palace just now.

"You said, the empress only asked you to have dinner, and then asked you to talk about the case?"

"Ah."

Speaking of it, it is indeed a bit weird, Qi Yu doesn't remember any friendship between him and Zhao Muyan, but speaking of it, he still owes her favor.

Zhao Muyan acted like this, and she really wasn't sure what it meant.

"This... the Queen's mind is too difficult to figure out."

Lin Qingxuan shook his head, the people in this palace are all human beings, especially the women in the harem, they cannot be provoked.

"Don't think about it, their thoughts are not something we can think about."

The 'they' in Qi Yu's heart are naturally the women in the harem, and Lin Qingxuan also understands that there are the most ferocious and vicious beasts in this harem, so it is best not to have anything to do with them.

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Tenglong Palace.

Tenglong Palace is the emperor's bedroom, and Zhao Muyan hurried over, only to find the 16-year-old prince there.

"Cough cough cough..."

Tang Yuan coughed, and the crown prince Tang Qi was watching by the bed. When he saw Zhao Muyan coming, Tang Qi immediately dismissed the surrounding palace people. When the palace people were gone, he said, "Sister Zhao."

"Tsk, brat, how many times have you said, call me queen mother."

Although Zhao Muyan's words were meant to be reproachful, it was not in a reproachful tone, but rather doting on his younger brother.

Tang Qi is not from Zhao Muyan, Zhao Muyan is only 23 now, only seven years older than Tang Qi, and their relationship is indeed like siblings.

"Tang Yuan, what's wrong?"

Seeing Tang Yuan's pale face, Zhao Muyan sat on the side of the bed and helped him up. There was no one else around, so they naturally didn't need to be courteous as usual.

"Isn't this aggravating, afraid that if you step on your feet, you will be called over immediately?"

Tang Yuan rolled a blank look at Zhao Muyan, but Zhao Muyan smiled and said, "I think you're quite angry, you won't die."

"Yes, father, don't talk nonsense."

Tang Qi lay on Tang Yuan's lap, looking at Tang Yuan with big eyes.

"So what's the matter?"

Zhao Muyan asked, and Tang Yuan said, "I want to ask you something."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Muyan's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "You want to exploit my labor again?"

"No... cough cough cough!"

Seeing Tang Yuan's eyes coughing, Zhao Muyan sighed, followed Tang Yuan's anger, and stopped fighting against him.

"I want you to teach the prince about politics for an hour every day."

"..."

Zhao Muyan was silent, but the boy jumped up happily.

"With sister Zhao's teaching, Gu will definitely grow up very fast!"

"Calling the Queen Mother..."

Zhao Muyan looked at Tang Yuan expressionlessly...

It's not just exploiting labor, it's exploiting brainpower...

The author has something to say: the case is already heavy after all, I think it would be better if the situation in the palace is easier, if it is all heavy, hey... I feel uncomfortable writing it.
