Chapter 114 Misfortunes never come singly
"Why don't you hurry up and investigate this matter? Don't let the news leak out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
Although Queen Mother Qiao is old, her hearing is still good.
As soon as Eunuch Liu finished speaking, she immediately ordered people to investigate the matter, and her face was very gloomy.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Princess Yunluo's mysterious disappearance on the day of the marriage is definitely not that simple.
Someone must have done this on purpose, intending to provoke a war between Loulan and our Daye."
Queen Mother Qiao tilted her head to glance at the furious Zhu Yunhao, and twitched the corners of her lips slightly, pretending to be calm.
Zhu Yunhao was startled when he heard this:
"Then who could this person be?"
Queen Mother Qiao had long expected Zhu Yunhao to ask this question, and she couldn't help but sneer, and her gaze subconsciously turned to Du Zhirou.
"Think about it carefully. Who hates us being on good terms with Loulan?"
"Of course, that person can't be you, nor can it be me.
The reason why we all agreed that the Queen should marry in place of the emperor is to ensure the peace and prosperity of the country of Daye, isn't it?"
After speaking calmly, Empress Dowager Qiao gently called for Nanny Tian to come forward, apparently intending to return to the palace.
Being stared at by Empress Dowager Qiao for a while, Du Zhirou couldn't help but feel extremely guilty. She could even hear the sound of her own heart beating.
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. Someone, come and check it out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Liu did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the eunuch to investigate Yun Luo's whereabouts.
Empress Dowager Qiao still thought that there was something seriously wrong with Du Zhirou, and she gave her a glare before leaving.
Du Zhirou subconsciously retreated behind Zhu Yunhao, not daring to look up at Queen Mother Qiao, and timidly said:
"Your Majesty, someone must have leaked the news, which is why Princess Yunluo has disappeared.
You said, could it be that my sister didn't want to go to Loulan to marry, so she was angry and kidnapped the princess?"
One has to admire Du Zhirou's ability to lie. She put all the blame on Du Qingwan in one go.
Zhu Yunhao was not stupid, he had thought so at first.
But on second thought, Du Qingwan had always been against Yun Luo's marriage in Loulan. Even if she was the one to go in place of Yun Luo, she had no reason to harm Yun Luo, right?
Now, after hearing what Du Zhirou said, Zhu Yunhao began to waver in his original thoughts.
"This... shouldn't be the case, right? The Queen is about to leave Daye, and she might even die on the way.
Wouldn't it be troublesome for me to take Yunluo away at risk?"
Although Zhu Yunhao was so angry that he was confused, he still believed that Du Qingwan had no motive to commit the crime.
Seeing that Zhu Yunhao was so partial to Du Qingwan, Du Zhirou instantly became unhappy again, and her little face became long.
"Your Majesty's analysis is correct. It is I who am ignorant."
Du Zhirou's face was full of grievance and her voice was timid.
Zhu Yunhao was only interested in finding Yunluo, and was too lazy to coax her at this moment, so he simply ignored her.
Then he turned around and left the city wall and returned to Qian'an Palace.
Du Zhirou was so angry that she went back to the Du Mansion in a huff after leaving the city wall, and she didn't even bother to take one or two gifts with her.
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you? You're so angry as soon as you come back. Did someone provoke you again?"
Pang Shi couldn't bear to see her daughter being wronged, so as soon as she heard that Du Zhirou had returned home, she rushed over from the east wing.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw my daughter with a gloomy face and in a bad mood.
Pang Shi couldn't help but feel distressed and asked in a gentle voice.
"Who else could it be? That little bitch Du Qingwan!"
Du Zhirou was very angry and dropped several teacups on the table, with tears rolling down her eyes.
Seeing this, Pang Shi felt even more distressed and hated Du Qingwan very much.
"Hasn't she been sent to Loulan today?
How could I mess you up like this?"
Pang thought hard for a long time, but couldn't figure out how Du Zhirou was so angry at Du Qingwan.
After all, she saw the marriage procession leaving the city early in the morning.
Logically speaking, Du Qingwan should have left Yecheng.
How could she bully her own daughter Du Zhirou?
"Didn't I have Princess Yunluo kidnapped in order to frame Du Qingwan and have the Emperor kill her?
Mother, you don’t know, but the emperor is still protecting that little bitch Du Qingwan. It’s really pissing me off to death!”
Pang waited for a long time before Du Zhirou angrily told her the whole story.
"What did you say? You...you kidnapped Princess Yunluo?"
The next second, Pang Zi was completely shocked, his eyes full of disbelief.
She could never have imagined in her daydreams that Du Zhirou would choose to kidnap Yun Luo at this critical moment when Du Qingwan was being sent to Loulan for marriage in Daye.
Throughout Daye, everyone knows it.
Princess Yunluo is Zhu Yunhao's favorite?
"Yes! I originally just wanted to frame Du Qingwan and sabotage the marriage.
Who would have known that not only did the Queen Mother suspect me, but the Emperor also favored Du Qingwan!
Mother, what kind of bad luck do you think I have in this life? "
"What should I do now? The Emperor has ignored me."
The more Du Zhirou spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears really rolled down her cheeks.
Upon learning that his daughter had done something foolish, Pang was very angry, but he could only feel sorry for her.
She really couldn't bear to see her daughter being so wronged, so she quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly in her arms, and comforted her softly:
"Okay, Rou'er, things have come to this point, crying won't solve any problems.
This matter is of great importance, and we must think carefully and come up with a good solution."
Du Zhirou had no choice but to nod in agreement.
She gently let go of Pangzi and wiped away her tears.
"Mother, then tell me, what should we do next to regain the emperor's favor?"
What Du Zhirou is most anxious about right now is how to repair her relationship with Zhu Yunhao so that he can give her the position of queen.
Pang Shi was also very confused at this time, and naturally could not think of any good solution, so he couldn't help but frown.
"What else can we do? We can only wait for the entire Du family to be executed! Look at what good things you have done!"
Just then, the old lady suddenly came in with a cane.
Her face was unusually gloomy, and she was so angry that veins were popping out.
Seeing this, Du Zhirou subconsciously hid behind Pang Shi, looking extremely panicked, her heart about to jump out.
The old lady is famous for her power in the Du family.
Normally, she would turn a blind eye to any small actions of the mother and daughter as long as they did not endanger the reputation of the Du family.
But this matter involves the future of the Du family and is of no trivial importance.
She couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
"grandmother……"
Du Zhirou hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her voice timid.
Fearing that her daughter might anger the old lady, Pang gave her a fierce look and signaled her to keep quiet.
"I heard everything you just said.
The thing I regret most now is that I trusted the wrong person and drowned Sun. "
"Pang Shi, you two mother and daughter have committed this sin, you should find a way to solve it yourselves!
If Sun was still alive, the Du family would not be like this."
The old lady probably really has lost her brain power, or she is no longer able to manage the Du family and can only give up participating in this matter.
The Du family is now in a state of continuous misfortune.
First, Du Lu was defeated in the front line, then Pang's son Du Jianye was captured by the Northern Kingdom, and now Du Qingwan is forced to marry Loulan.
As if the pile of troubles were not enough, Du Zhirou kidnapped Princess Yunluo and now everyone in the Du family is in a panic.
"It's Sun again! Without me, would the Du family be what it is today?
Have I ever worried less for a single day in these twenty years?
It's not so easy to be the mistress of the house. If everyone is like Sun, who is indecisive and indecisive, our Du family would have been ruined long ago!"
When mentioning Du Qingwan's biological mother, Sun, Pang suddenly became furious and her face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
