Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on the Queen's face, "Lu Qingbai, if the news from this palace is correct, the first place you went to after entering the capital was the third prince's house, right?"
"I am very curious. By killing the prince, are you helping the third prince? Or are you helping me?"
Lu Qingbai nodded and said: "Of course I am helping the empress!"
A trace of sarcasm appeared on the queen's face, and she said with a hint of disdain: "Lu Qingbai, why do you want to help me kill the prince?"
"If the prince dies, the imperial court will definitely be left without a master. Then the empress will listen to the government behind the curtain, and the world will be under her control."
Lu Qingbai explained with a smile.
The disdain on the Queen's face became more and more intense, "Even if I am in charge of the world, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress rebellious ministers like King Pingxi and the Third Prince!"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. King Pingxi will always be loyal to the court and will never dare to have second thoughts!" Lu Qingbai said directly with his head on the ground.
"Lu Qingbai, I know the character of you and your father best. Don't think that you can point fingers in front of me after practicing with Shifang Practitioners for a period of time. Don't forget that the two thousand imperial guards in the capital are still here.
On hand!"
"If you dare to have any disobedience, just wait until your father comes to the capital to collect the body!"
The queen's tone suddenly turned cold, and Lu Qingbai was so frightened that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The threat in these words is very obvious.
Lu Qingbai understood.
The Queen hopes to control the balance in the capital and exploits the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to continuously reap the benefits.
She would not allow either the third prince or the prince to fall.
Unless the two of them die together, the queen will wake up laughing in her dreams.
The same is true for Zhao Xiaole, and the same is true for Lu Qingbai. When it's time to beat him, she will not be soft-hearted.
Having been in the deep palace all year round, the queen has already become proficient in her tactics.
Lu Qingbai naturally understood what the queen meant. It was just a test before, but he didn't expect the queen's response to be so strong.
Sure enough, the queen is no longer the innocent girl she was before.
Nor was he a chess piece left at the mercy of their father and son.
Instead, he continued to ascend to high positions through Machiavellian tactics. Now the empress of the world, Lu Qingbai finally put away his contempt this time!
The Queen is in charge of the Imperial Guard in the capital, and the life and death of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are, to some extent, in the hands of the Queen.
However, the queen still needs a name, which Emperor Jingyang has never given her, so she needs to continue to lurk and wait for a good opportunity.
Waiting for her time to ascend to the top.
And waiting has always been what the Queen is best at.
"Neither my nephew nor my father dares to betray the Lord. I would like to ask my Majesty to tell the truth. If I don't believe it, just kill my nephew! My nephew will die without any regrets!"
Lu Qingbai replied loudly.
The Queen's face remained unchanged and she didn't say a word, which made Lu Qingbai feel more and more confused.
The sudden calm is most overwhelming.
The beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down from time to time.
The sound of falling to the floor was clearly audible.
After a long time, the Empress finally spoke, "Lu Qingbai, weren't you also greedy for my body back then?"
"My nephew doesn't dare, my queen, please don't make such a joke!"
Lu Qingbai panicked immediately. That man didn't have this idea at the beginning? He was certainly no exception!
The queen was so beautiful when she was young that it would not be an exaggeration to say that she captivated the country.
Now, it has more of a mature charm.
At the beginning, Lu Qingbai was very suitable for the queen in terms of age. Unfortunately, King Pingxi was also greedy, and so was Emperor Jingyang!
Obviously they are old enough to be the father of the queen.
For this reason, Lu Qingbai even considered eloping with the queen, and if he refused, he planned to use strong methods.
Falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless.
He failed.
This has always been Lu Qingbai's obsession.
Now being exposed by the Queen in person, Lu Qingbai felt as if the Queen had lifted his tail, and everything that should not be seen was seen.
The queen chuckled lightly, "I usually need people to serve me, but when I go out to bathe, the maid's strength is a little weak after all! How about you do it?"
"Your Majesty, please don't joke with your nephew. How can you do this?" Lu Qingbai swallowed unconsciously.
Thinking about the queen's white and tender skin, if he had the opportunity to see it in reality, it would be like a dream.
The queen sneered, "Lu Qingbai, if you are willing, go to the cleaning room by yourself. As long as you say it is my wish, a master will help you perform the surgery, and no life will be caused!"
"My dear, don't make fun of my nephew." Lu Qingbai was speechless.
Are you co-authoring or just having fun on your own?
However, Lu Qingbai's idea of challenging the queen has completely disappeared.
A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, not to mention that the queen is a dragon and he is a snake!
What do you use to fight with others?
The queen no longer suppressed him, but said calmly: "Go back and assist the third prince well. If you do well, I am not a person who ignores rewards and punishments. I will give you what should be given to King Pingxi!"
"My nephew understands, my nephew thanked the empress!"
After Lu Qingbai knelt down and kowtowed, he excused himself and left. After going out, he found that his clothes were soaked through.
It was even colder outside the main hall. When the cold wind blew, my whole body felt wet and uncomfortable.
Assisting the third prince and the queen is not his purpose, his real purpose is to mess up Jingyang and expand King Pingxi's territory.
If you don't have strength in your hands, you can't even protect your own woman.
This is the lesson Lu Qingbai learned from his father, and it is also his most unforgettable memory.
Therefore, the queen directly told him that if she took charge of Sheji that day, she would benefit King Pingxi.
That is to say, he is allowed to expand his territory.
Lu Qingbai was very disdainful in his heart. Could it be that the queen was the only one who knew how to take advantage of others?
Why can't King Pingxi do it?
…
Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, many people are busy preparing for the exam, and the atmosphere in Beijing is a bit tense.
At this time, Zhao Xiaole didn't do anything else, but disguised himself and went to the Prison Department Prison!
The Minister of Punishment didn't even know what he wanted to do, but he had the prince's order, so the Shangshu of the Punishment Department could only issue it.
He originally thought that the prince had some doubts about him, so he sent Zhao Xiaole to investigate the prison proceedings!
But when Zhao Xiaole came, he didn't read any official documents and asked when the prisoner would be executed?
"Reporting to the Marquis, most of the prisoners are staying in the Queen of Autumn for execution. There are no prisoners waiting to be executed in the prison now!"
The Minister of Punishment replied.
"How can that be done? What about those officials who committed fraud in the past? Are there any? Pull them over to me quickly and chop them down!"
Zhao Xiaole was stunned for a moment, then swayed his legs on the table.
"Last year there were no corrupt officials, nor the year before last. There was only one official from ten years ago who committed fraud." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice replied as he flipped through the files.
