"No, look at how good my wife is at her crafts.
How could that tigress of yours tell that she is a woman?"
Zimin patted Duguquan on the shoulder and said, "She is the safest when she is by your side."
That tigress will never think of her true identity."
Duguquan swallowed hard and wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xia Yanhuan's sad eyes, he had to bite the bullet and said: "She will be back in three days.
If you don't want to, you still have time."
Xia Yanhuan felt very uncomfortable with Zimin's dislike of her.
When she heard that Duguquan was willing to keep her by his side, she had no choice but to nod.
Anyway, Cui Shuyuan and Dugu Quan have never roomed together.
After Cui Shuyuan returned to the palace, she only lived alone.
As long as she was careful, she could avoid her.
"When her suspicion is eliminated, I will find a way to tell her the truth."
Duguquan hesitated for a moment and said.
Zimin said coldly from the side: "If that's the case, why don't you send her out of Beijing now?"
Duguquan said: "You don't know that the people around Cui Shuyuan this time are all dead soldiers recruited by Cui Hongdu from the Xiqiang border.
Once they find out that someone has been sent out of the house by the king recently, Cui Shuyuan will definitely let these dead soldiers chase them.
Kill her" Zimin said, "You are like a mother-in-law.
If you had sent her out a few months ago, it would have been the end of it."
Duguquan also regretted: "I didn't know that Cui Shuyuan was surrounded by those dead soldiers.
If she didn't have those dead soldiers around her, I would still be able to save her."
Zimin narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and whispered: "Don't make excuses.
Are you in love with this woman?"
Not far away, Xia Yanhuan was adjusting the details of the mask on her face with the help of Li Ge, trying to make her look like an underage eunuch.
Duguquan was startled by Zimin's words: "What did you say?"
"Why else would you find so many excuses to trap her in the house?"
Zimin said again.
Duguquan explained: "I don't want her to get involved in Lin Fangguo and Xia Yunqing's dream of restoration.
She is a simple person and can easily be deceived by others."
Zimin pursed his lips: "You said you have no idea about her.
Since she already has second thoughts about you, why are you so worried about her?"
Duguquan lowered his eyes: "I just don't want to see her being deceived again."
Zimin sneered and said, "It's hard for you to think about her like this.
I just don't know if she will accept your favor or not, and maybe she still resents you in her heart."
Duguquan smiled bitterly: "If she wants to complain, just complain.
Anyway, I really want to protect her."
Zimin looked at him quietly, suppressed the sneer on his face, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I really didn't expect that one day you would be interested in a woman other than Xiner."
Hearing the word "Xin'er", Duguquan's expression condensed slightly, and he raised his head and glanced at Zimin: "Don't worry, since she is already your wife, you should trust her completely."
On the other side, Li Ge was chatting with Xia Yanhuan in a low voice.
Zimin suddenly leaned into Duguquan's ear and whispered: "Of course I completely believe in Xin'er, but I don't completely believe in you."
Duguquan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Zimin's eyes suddenly became low and cold: "She was poisoned that day, and I'm afraid it has something to do with you."
Duguquan took a deep breath and looked at him seriously: "If you think it was me, I have nothing to say."
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen
