As soon as Chu Xingchen walked to the door, he heard a cold voice.
"Stop looking, it can't be the leader."
It's Tianliu's voice.
He seemed very angry. Like other shadows, he was always silent, but today he was extremely angry.
"You have done something wrong yourself, and you just want to blame it on the leader. You are still pretending to find the leader. There is no way it is him!"
"What do you mean we did something wrong? It was Zhou Buyan who did the wrong thing!" Lingzhou was also angry, "I am a shadow, so I know how to protect Zhou Buyan, right?"
"I'm not defending, I'm telling the truth, that is, you have done evil and want the leader to take the blame." Tianliu's voice lost control, "He is already dead, and you still slander him like this and throw dirty water on him!
You are still not human!”
Chu Xingchen was stunned. She knew every word of what Tianliu said, but when they were put together, she didn't recognize them.
What does it mean that the leader is dead?
Isn't the leader in his mouth Zhou Buyan?
"Tianliu, what do you mean the leader is dead?"
When Tianliu saw Chu Xingchen, his rationality returned, and annoyance flashed in his eyes. He was too angry just now, seeing Lingzhou shouting and killing, and slandering and insulting Zhou Buyan so much that he couldn't help but speak out.
The leader is not that kind of person at all. If he really wanted to do something to His Highness, he would have done it long ago. That night was the opportunity, so why wait until now.
Now that everyone is dead, they still have to carry such a reputation.
He can't stand it.
But after saying that, Tianliu realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
Tianliu wanted to hide, but Chu Xingchen couldn't let him hide and asked sharply.
"Tianliu, please tell me clearly today, what does Zhou Buyan's death mean? He just sent gifts, didn't you see them all?"
How ridiculous, how could you say such ridiculous words casually.
But Chu Xingchen inexplicably remembered the uneasiness he felt during this period.
Her face turned pale and her hands and feet were cold, "Explain it to me clearly."
Ling Zhou, who was shouting to kill, and Shen Cangzhu and Xiao Wang, who had red eyes, had already calmed down. Unexpected shock flashed across Xiao Wang's eyes, and then his pupils shrank suddenly and his hands trembled.
He said that it was unusual for Zhou Buyan to leave the palace before. Is this the truth behind the so-called leaving the palace?
Zhou Buyan didn't leave the palace, but died?
But why did he die? Who killed him? Who could kill her? And why did he lie?
Countless questions flashed through Xiao Wang's mind. Tianliu gritted his teeth and spoke, "Speak clearly. I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time. Your Highness, the leader is really dead. Just when he said it."
That day."
"He didn't leave the palace at all, he was executed."
Chu Xingchen felt that the world was spinning and Tianliu's voice became distant.
"Execution...Zhou Buyan is dead..."
How is it possible, how is it possible!
"Who? Who executed him? Who is qualified to execute him!"
Zhou Buyan is her person, her shadow, who has that qualification!
Tianliu slowly uttered three words, "It's Your Majesty."
Chu Xingchen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
She wanted to say it was absurd, she wanted to say it was ridiculous, but she suddenly remembered the past that the Queen never mentioned Zhou Buyan, and the Queen had always looked down on Zhou Buyan.
So this thing... is probably true. Zhou Buyan is dead?
Zhou Buyan is still dead?
In the original novel, in order to protect the original owner, he turned into a monster and later died tragically.
Now that she is here, she has changed so much, everything has changed, and yet Zhou Buyan is still dead?
Died at the hands of the Queen?
How ridiculous.
How could Zhou Buyan die? He had survived such danger before.
He obviously flew out of the palace and became a free bird, how could he die?
At this moment, Chu Xingchen could not care about the hickeys or abnormalities. There was only one thought in her mind: Zhou Buyan could not die.
Zhou Buyan didn't deserve to die. He was so seriously injured trying to save her before. No amount of thanks or reward was enough. Why should he be executed?
He saved her but didn't give her a reward and still deal with it? How ridiculous, she didn't believe it, it didn't make sense.
"It's impossible for the Queen Mother to do such a thing. She is so good to me. It's impossible..."
Chu Xingchen murmured, dragging his two almost unconscious legs and walked out.
"It can't be the Queen Mother..."
For her birthday yesterday, the Queen personally made longevity noodles just like last year. The food not only warmed her stomach, but also warmed her heart.
How could such a person execute Zhou Buyan, how could he treat her like this...
"I'm going to ask clearly, I'm going to ask clearly."
Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang and Ling Zhou looked at each other and hurriedly followed. However, Chu Xingchen got on the carriage and left without waiting for anyone.
"Follow me quickly!" Xiao Wang's expression changed.
Chu Xingchen hurried back to the palace as quickly as possible. His mind was in confusion. He asked the queen if she was in the royal study, and rushed in without waiting for the palace people to report.
"Mother Queen, did you kill Zhou Buyan?"
In the Imperial Study Room, only the Queen was reviewing the memorials, but there were no other ministers.
The Queen's hand paused, and the ink dripped down. There were more ink spots on the memorial. The Queen threw it away, "You suddenly barged in just to say such a meaningless sentence?"
There was some displeasure on her face, "Didn't you let him leave the palace? I made an exception..."
"So you didn't kill him, but really let him leave the palace?"
The queen behaved normally, but Chu Xingchen felt something was wrong, "Mother, don't lie to me, tell me the truth."
A murderous look flashed in the Queen's eyes. Who had revealed the secret?
But he said, "Why did I lie to you? Come quickly and approve the memorial."
"So you didn't kill him? Mother Queen, do you dare to swear? I swear on my life."
The Queen lowered her face and said, "Chu Xingchen, what do you mean by swearing on your life? Are these words said casually?"
Chu Xingchen didn't want to hear this nonsense, "As long as you didn't kill him, nothing would happen, so... was he killed by you? Do you dare to admit it? If not, just swear!"
Tell her quickly, it's all lies and misunderstandings. Zhou Buyan is not dead, he is still alive.
Chu Xingchen's face was angry, but his eyes were full of prayer.
The Queen sneered and said, "Do you still swear that my oath was made casually?"
The Queen didn't look at Chu Xingchen and said softly, "I killed him. I don't dare to admit it. It's just a shadow."
Chu Xingchen's body swayed and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
It's true, Zhou Buyan is dead, killed by the Queen.
"It's just a shadow...how can you talk about a human life in such a tone."
That's a life, that's Zhou Buyan's life, yet she talks about it so lightly, like a dog.
Chu Xingchen clutched his chest and could hardly breathe. He looked at the Queen and said in a sharp voice, "How could you, how could you!"
Zhou Buyan, who was unique and best to her in this world, died.
She was so cautious that she didn't even dare to touch it for fear that Zhou Buyan would die.
That's why he didn't come back, that's why he disappeared.
