Xu Tianze wiped his tears, turned around and bowed, "I never thought that the Queen had the habit of peeping."
"How dare you! Is this how Lord Xu speaks to me?" The Queen flew into a rage when she heard the sarcasm in Xu Tianze's words.
After all, she is the most noble woman in the world. How could she tolerate Xu Tianze being so presumptuous? Moreover, this lowly ant actually dared to put the word "peeping" on her. He really didn't know how to live or die.
"Empress, instead of embarrassing me here, why don't you go to the Shangshufang first? Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise." Xu Tianze stood up on his own, not caring about the Queen's pale face.
If the Nan family still existed, he would indeed have to be a little cautious, but as far as he knew, the Queen Mother should still be under house arrest, yet she appeared before him so openly.
Did she really think she was the queen with the Nan family's support? The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was also unstable right now. No matter how angry the Queen was, she shouldn't have troubled him at this time.
"Are you threatening me?" The Queen stood on the steps and looked down at Xu Tianze, her majesty rising continuously.
Since she became the queen, few people dared to threaten her so blatantly. Even those bitches in the harem only dared to gossip about her behind her back.
"I dare not." Xu Tianze hurriedly bowed, "I just wonder if Lord Nan has a smooth journey."
"Xu Tianze, Xu Tianze, do you think I care?" The queen snorted disdainfully when she heard Xu Tianze's words.
"The Empress naturally doesn't mind, but the Crown Prince must mind." Xu Tianze said with a smile, and the red at the corner of his eyes added a bit of weirdness.
The queen was silent after hearing Xu Tianze's words. Since Nan Xunjie had already left Shangjing City, his life or death was no longer of any use.
Since he is no longer valuable and can no longer serve the prince, the queen naturally won't care about Nan Xunjie's life or death. The prince has already abandoned him since he pushed him out with his own hands.
But the prince cares about Nan Xunjie's life or death, because if Nan Xunjie is alive, he might reveal the prince's secrets, so the prince will naturally find ways to prevent Nan Xunjie from speaking.
But both the Queen and Xu Tianze knew that the person they said they cared about was not Zhinan Xunjie, but Xu Tianze.
"Xu Tianze, you are a smart person. I believe you will naturally know that some promises cannot be breached." The queen was silent for a long time, staring at Xu Tianze steadily before speaking.
Now she no longer had the heart to tease Xu Tianze. She didn't expect that after just watching a good show, Xu Tianze would turn the tables on her.
"Since Your Majesty knows that I am a smart person, you should know that I can't stand being threatened." Xu Tianze raised his head and looked up at the Queen.
Obviously one is above and the other is below, one is the noble queen and the other is just a mere minister, but the one being suppressed is the queen.
"What's more, can I regard the Queen's action today as a signal that the Crown Prince is not keeping his word?" Xu Tianze walked up a step with an aggressive look.
When the queen saw Xu Tianze coming forward, she subconsciously took a step back. In an instant, the confrontation between the two gave Xu Tianze the upper hand.
"The Crown Prince is certainly not a treacherous villain, and I just happened to pass by." The Queen realized that she had retreated and felt a little ashamed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.
Xu Tianze smiled and nodded, then turned and left. As for the etiquette of politeness when leaving, he simply ignored it.
I originally thought that the prince would tell everything to the queen, but it seems that the prince does not completely trust the queen in his heart.
Otherwise, the Queen would not have reacted the way she did, and would not have been so easily manipulated by him.
Since this is the case, he will use a different approach when facing the queen in the future and will no longer have to be as cautious as before.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu followed the Queen and saw that the Queen was still staring at Xu Tianze's back in a daze, so he couldn't help but remind her.
"Let's go. Be respectful to Xu Tianze next time you meet him." The queen sighed and turned back towards the Yiku Palace.
Although she is still the queen who rules the country, she is different after all.
Even though it came out of her belly, it was already separated from her. She should just be a queen in the harem in the future.
Xu Tianze walked out of the palace and let out a long sigh. He turned around and looked at the tall palace walls, thinking that his trip was really full of crises.
Every time I come here, I feel nervous. I really don’t know how many times I have to come here before I can finally come to the end.
"Is Lord Xu ready to go back?" Monkie saw Xu Tianze standing at the door in a daze, and then reminded him.
"Brother Meng, I am indeed ready to go back. Let's talk again when we are free someday." Xu Tianze turned his head to look at Meng Qi who was walking over, with a sincere smile on his face.
It has been quite some time since he came back, and he has wanted to meet Monkie for a long time, but Monkie's identity means that he cannot contact him casually to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But now that half of the work is done, and he has already put up a sign with Emperor Gan, there is no burden in making friends with Monkie.
"I have nothing to do right now, why don't we find a place to have a drink?" There was no expression on Monk's face, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He originally thought that he had been avoiding Xu Tianze before, and that they were somewhat estranged. But now it seemed that Xu Tianze didn't care too much, and he felt relieved.
It is better to do it now than to wait for another day. It is better to do it now than to make an appointment on other days.
"Now?" Xu Tianze looked at Monkie uncertainly after hearing what Monkie said.
He glanced at the guards beside him, then looked at the sun. It was not time to get off duty yet. Was Monk sure it was now?
"I'm not on duty. I just came here to take a look. I can leave of course." Monkie noticed Xu Tianze's gaze and explained.
The guard standing nearby couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Monk's explanation, but he still didn't say anything. He still stood there quietly, acting as a background board.
"Let's go." Xu Tianze smiled.
Since Monchi had already said this, he had no excuse to refuse. He was also feeling a little depressed, so it was not a bad idea to go out for a drink.
When Monk heard Xu Tianze's agreement, a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and gave some instructions with a smile in the eyes of the guards who looked like they had seen a ghost, and then left with Xu Tianze.
"Brother Meng, didn't you say you wanted to drink? Why are you here?" Xu Tianze looked at Meng Qi in confusion.
If he really wanted to drink, he should go to a restaurant, or at worst a pub, but the place Brother Meng brought him to was really inconsistent.
