Chapter 572 1 is on the verge of breaking out
The hour of Hai has arrived
The room was shrouded in silence at night.
Lin Junxue sat quietly in the middle of the room, her posture elegant and dignified.
The door was wide open, and she was obviously waiting for someone to arrive.
She gently picked up the teacup, her movements slow and methodical.
The tea in the cup was giving off hot steam and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
Lin Junxue took a small sip, slowly and leisurely, revealing a unique kind of calmness and composure.
His expression was extremely indifferent, and there was no expression on his beautiful face, just like a beautiful painting.
Especially those eyes, which were as black as ink and as deep as the endless night sky, making people feel daunted.
at this time
The palace door was opened
Danzhen walked in with a heavy face.
"My queen, Duke Chen is here and is waiting outside."
Lin Junxue slowly raised her eyes, her face indifferent, and spoke lightly.
"Let him in"
Danzhen nodded, her face darkened.
Tonight, the success or failure of what the Queen is planning is unknown, so you need to be extra careful.
Danzhen stepped out of the door and nodded slightly to Wu Feng who was standing not far away. Then, the two of them looked away without saying a word.
Soon
The door was reopened
Danzhen led Chen Fengping in
Chen Fengping walked into the room, leaning on a cane and hunched over. He bowed and greeted everyone with a respectful and humble attitude.
"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"
Lin Junxue raised her hand
"Old Duke Chen, please get up"
Chen Feng straightened up and looked at Lin Junxue
His eyes, which were already somewhat cloudy, seemed to hide an extremely sharp sword.
Just a quick glance and one can feel the chill and murderous intent contained therein.
The turbidity seemed to be just a disguise, covering up the true sharpness underneath.
Chen Fengping said, "I wonder what the Queen wants me to do? Just give me your instructions."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Danzhen, please take a seat and serve tea."
Chen Fengping paused and sat down
After Danzhen served the tea, she returned to Lin Junxue.
Chen Fengping picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded without changing his expression.
"The tea prepared by the Queen is excellent. Today, I, your humble servant, will be in for a treat."
Lin Junxue smiled slightly
"As long as Duke Chen likes it."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Chen Fengping lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the steaming, fragrant cup of tea in his hand.
The temperature of the tea is just right, with a hint of bitterness and sweetness spreading on the tip of the tongue.
However, in sharp contrast to this wonderful taste is the suffocating silence in the hall at this moment.
Apart from the occasional slight swallowing sound, the only sound in the entire hall was the almost imperceptible breathing sound.
for a while
Chen Fengping drank the tea in the cup, looked up, and his eyes had changed compared to before.
A truly smart person can tell each other's strengths and weaknesses just by looking at each other.
Just now, the two of them were just silently testing each other.
He didn't expect that the current queen was so calm.
Under his pressure, she could remain so calm and not be affected at all.
This calmness and composure was even possessed by Mier, who had been brought up by his side since childhood. She had to admit that she was still a little lacking in this aspect.
No wonder, in just three years, she was able to win the heart of the Emperor and force the Empress Dowager to such a point, bringing the An family to ruin.
I wonder how much of this queen's handwriting is behind this.
There seems to be no trace of the queen
But he knew he would not be wrong about the person in front of him.
This queen is indeed not to be underestimated.
Mier said in the letter that the Queen might have known a lot about what happened back then.
With such supernatural means, even Ziying could be found. I think the Queen must know a lot.
The killing intent flashed across my mind
Lin Junxue looked at the murderous intent that was clearly hidden in Chen Fengping, but she smiled. It was a very beautiful smile, but she no longer concealed that sharp edge.
He is obviously a jackal, but he pretends to be Pleasant Goat?
Chen Fengping spoke in a cold voice
"Your Majesty, you and I are both smart people. Tonight, Your Majesty specially summoned me here. I will not beat around the bush when I hear your voice. Please just say whatever Your Majesty wants to say."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Old Duke Chen, do you know that Ziying has been pretending to be crazy and stupid these years, trying every possible way to linger in the cold palace? Not only did he want to avoid the persecution of the Queen Mother, but there was also someone else. I don't need me to tell you, Old Duke Chen knows who I'm talking about, right?"
When mentioning Ziying, Chen Fengping's eyes became stern.
The events of that year flashed through his mind like a passing flash.
Finally, his eyes returned to indifference, but in a flash
"My lady, I don't know what you mean."
Lin Junxue was not surprised to see Chen Fengping pretending to be ignorant.
How could such clever jackals, tigers and leopards show their cowardice just because of her words?
Lin Junxue spoke again
"How could Old Duke Chen not know that you supported the Queen Mother in doing so many things behind her back? Every single one of them was a heinous crime. Old Duke Chen, why do you have to pretend to be so innocent in front of me? Ziying destroyed her own face to avoid the assassins you sent, and hid in this cold palace for decades. Your words 'I don't know what you mean' really mean nothing to me."
Lin Junxue's tone was very calm, light and imperceptible.
But it seemed like a huge weight hitting people's hearts.
Chen Fengping's hand holding the crutch had bulging veins. He looked at Lin Junxue and was silent for a few seconds.
The emotions in his eyes changed in a thousand ways, but his murderous intent was even stronger than before.
"Your Majesty, please speak with evidence. I am the Duke of Chen, who was personally appointed by the late emperor. My reputation cannot be insulted casually. Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."
Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes
"Old Duke Chen is of noble status and is deeply trusted by the Emperor. This palace naturally knows this, but I don't know that the late Emperor valued you so much back then, and he probably didn't know until his death who gave the Queen Mother the poisonous insect from the southwest that took his life. You did the thing that poisoned the late Emperor. How dare this palace have the guts to insult your reputation casually?"
Chen Fengping's originally narrow and cold eyes suddenly widened like two obsidians burning with rage.
It was about to burst out of his eye sockets! The cold light in his eyes.
It's like the biting cold wind in winter, penetrating straight into people's hearts and making people shudder.
this moment
The killing intent is strong and undisguised
Lin Junxue was still smiling, not affected by Chen Fengping's aura at all, and remained calm and composed.
The two looked at each other
The air around seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing at this moment.
Their eyes met, without the slightest retreat or avoidance.
But beneath this calm surface, there is a surging undercurrent.
There was no obvious spark of fire in those eyes, but there was an invisible force secretly competing with each other.
Lin Junxue and Chen Fengping were both looking through each other's eyes and peeking into the most secret corners of their hearts.
