No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 579 The world is unfair!

Having not seen Xie Yan for several days, Luo Junyao was very happy to see him suddenly in the palace.

Xie Yan was not in a hurry to leave, the two cuddled together and exchanged the experiences of the past few days in a low voice.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

The two looked at each other, and Luo Junyao signaled Xie Yan with his eyes in surprise: Have you been discovered?

Xie Yan shook his head.

He still had confidence in his own strength, and he definitely did not alarm anyone when he entered the palace.

Then it wasn't for Xie Yan, Luo Junyao thought to himself.

"You stay here first, I'll go out and have a look, play by ear." Luo Jun shook his head and said.

Xie Yan nodded, and said: "Be careful."

Luo Junyao smiled brightly, "Don't worry."

Luo Junyao opened the door and went out, and it really became lively outside.The already dim palace was lit up again, illuminating the entire Empress Dowager's bedroom as if it were daytime.

Many people were searching everywhere with lamps and torches, but they were obviously not coming towards her.Those people had very clear goals, they all went to the dormitory where Bai Jingrong lived, and other places were just for show.

Bai Ning and Yun Chang stood outside the hall, looking sternly at the people who broke in suddenly.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Ning said sharply.

The leading man held a token in his hand and said loudly: "An assassin has broken into the palace. Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager, so he ordered me to come and check."

Bai Ning frowned and said: "The empress has already rested, everything is fine in the palace, and there are no assassins. What's more...the empress is surrounded by a cloud of experts, which assassin is capable of assassinating the empress?"

Before she could finish her sentence, a man in black who was obviously from the Central Plains quietly walked beside her.

This person looked like he was in his early forties, and when he came, he came silently and waited until he fell to the ground before everyone found out, which showed his extraordinary strength.

The leading man glanced at him with some vigilance, and said in a deep voice: "Although this is the case, you can't feel at ease if you don't see your empress. If your empress is held hostage by thieves in the palace, how will you explain to the king?"

Luo Junyao stood under the eaves and watched from a distance, she already understood.

These people did not come for any assassin, but for Bai Jingrong.Ji Zhan probably already knew that Bai Jingrong was not in the palace tonight, so he suddenly sent someone to catch him off guard.

Luo Junyao leaned over cautiously, those people just glanced at her casually and didn't pay much attention to her.

Bai Ning said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't like being disturbed at night, if your lord is worried, I'll go in and have a look before coming out to report."

"No!" The man said decisively, "Your Majesty has ordered that you must see your empress with your own eyes before you can rest assured."

"You!" The crowd still couldn't hear it, it was clearly a deliberate attempt to find fault.

But they have nothing to do, because the empress is really not here tonight.

Although it is said that the Qi people don't pay as much attention to fame and festivals as Dasheng, but the dignified queen mother will be criticized by the whole Qi people, especially those powerful people.

Seeing that everyone stood in front of the hall and refused to budge, the man said in a deep voice: "If you don't move out, don't blame us for being rude!" The door of the main hall was forced to go.

The face of the middle-aged man in black darkened, a cold light flashed, and the long sword in his hand was out of the sheath, blocking the way of everyone.

"You are presumptuous!" Bai Ning sternly said, "Do you really think that the Empress Dowager dare not kill you?"

The man snorted coldly, and said: "I have followed the king's order, why did I make a mistake?"

Bai Ning said: "Even Your Majesty, there is no reason to forcefully break into the queen mother's bedroom in the middle of the night!"

The man grinned when he heard the words, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "We said it because we were worried about the safety of the empress. If you don't want us to go in, you can just ask the empress to come out and say something to relieve the king's worries. It’s better to go back and do business.”

"What are you guys? Are you worthy to let the empress come out to meet you?" Yun Chang said.

In this way, it was completely deadlocked.

Luo Junyao stood not far away and looked at it, as if he was too timid to approach.At this time, I saw a maid in the corner anxiously looking in the direction of Bai Ning and Yun Chang, as if she wanted to tell them something, but she couldn't get close.

Luo Jun rolled his eyes, taking advantage of the fierce confrontation at the entrance of the hall, and everyone had no time to pay attention to her, so he quietly retreated.

"What's wrong?" Luo Junyao touched the maidservant and whispered.

The maid gave her a wary look, her mouth was tightly shut and she didn't speak.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Sister Bai Ning will definitely not be able to get away, I can help you pass on something to her if you have anything to say." The maid hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Your Majesty's people have surrounded our place .”

Luo Junyao blinked her eyes, and it took a while to realize the meaning of her words.

Ji Zhan surrounded Bai Jingrong's palace, even if Bai Jingrong came back now, he couldn't get in.

If Bai Jingrong came in from the outside in full view of everyone, it would confirm her going out of the palace late at night.

According to the Qi clan's rules... Even if Bai Jingrong goes out of the palace late at night to meet his lover, it's no big deal, right?

At most, his reputation is a bit bad, but Bai Jingrong's reputation is not good, so how can Ji Zhan get a good reputation?

Why did he deliberately make such a big noise?

"Your Majesty, now..." Luo Junyao asked tentatively.

The maid shook her head and stopped talking, Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and tell Sister Bai Ning."

Seeing that the situation in front of the main hall was about to explode, both sides had already tightened their hearts. Not far away, a girl's anxious and panicked voice suddenly sounded, "Sister Bai Ning, there are many people outside! We are surrounded, are we going to die? Is the king going to kill us?"

A figure ran over like flying, and threw itself into Bai Ning's arms.

Bai Ning was also taken aback, and had no choice but to reach out to catch the person who fell into his arms.

"Big Sister Bai Ning, are we going to die?" Luo Junyao said with tears in his voice, "Isn't Your Majesty sick? Why do these people force Your Majesty to come out? Your Majesty, if your Majesty is worried, why don't you come and see your Majesty in person?"

There was silence in front of the hall, Bai Ning came to his senses in an instant, stretched out his hand and patted Luo Junyao's vest, and sneered at the man, "Isn't it? It's late at night, since the king is worried about the safety of the empress, why don't you come to visit him in person? You people ...do you dare to break into your empress' bedroom at night?"

The man was blocked for a while and couldn't refute.

Bai Ning said coldly: "If you want to go in, unless all of us are dead, if your majesty has any doubts, you might as well ask him to come in person. Otherwise, don't blame the empress for doubting the king's filial piety. Our empress is indeed not a noble daughter of the Qi clan. , and there is no big family support behind it, but it is not for people to trample on at will!"

After all, Bai Ning said mockingly: "Your Majesty, as the king's birth mother, has been humiliated tonight. I wonder if the king thinks his face is honored?"

The man's face changed, and his expression was obviously a little more troubled.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I have no intention of offending Your Majesty, but there are indeed assassins breaking into the palace tonight, and Your Majesty is also worried about your Majesty's safety. Since you said so, I will wait until I report to Your Majesty. If your Majesty Whatever happens, you will bear all the consequences!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to the people behind him, and the crowd stopped surrounding the hall and retreated outside one after another.

After a while, the originally bustling palace became quiet, but those people did not all retreat, there were still a few people scattered around the palace, as for the people outside the palace gate, none of them withdrew.

Even so, Bai Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Tie." Bai Ning looked at the middle-aged man in black, who silently nodded and disappeared into the night.

"Sister Bai Ning." Luo Junyao leaned against Bai Ning and called softly.

Bai Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

Luo Junyao said in a low voice: "There is a sister over there who said that the outside is surrounded by people, and she can't get out or come in. Madam..."

Bai Ning comforted: "It's okay, don't worry."

Yunchang was very disdainful, and snorted softly: "I really have never seen the world, so I cry about such a trivial matter. What can they do to us? There is a lady here."

Luo Junyao thought to himself, even if those people killed us just now, nothing will happen when Bai Jingrong comes back.

At most, it's just to kill a few people who did it to vent their anger.

"Why did your majesty do this?" Luo Junyao asked in a low voice, with a bit of uneasiness in his voice, "is it because of me that your majesty deliberately made your empress angry?"

"Children's words." Bai Ning said helplessly: "Why would the king act recklessly for such a reason, I'm afraid it's..." Bai Ning was suddenly startled, would the empress be in danger outside?
In case the king attacks the empress, they are like this now...

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, the king would never dare to attack the empress openly, if he did it secretly, there are many masters around the empress, it is hard to say who will kill who.

Though thinking this way, Bai Ning was still uneasy.

Looking at the cautious girl beside him, Bai Ning had no choice but to persuade her to go back and rest first.

Luo Junyao walked away slowly, and when he returned to the room, Xie Yan had disappeared.

Luo Junyao never doubted that Xie Yan could leave quietly under the heavy siege, and when he walked into the inner room, he saw a booklet under his pillow.The booklet was supposed to be on the table outside, but Luo Junyao walked over to it and got up to open it, and sure enough, he found a piece of paper from inside.

The handwriting on the paper is written in the secret language of the secret word camp - the commander of the Bai family army has an affair with Bai, Ji Zhan wants to force Bai to release power, and the people close to Bai have Ji Zhan's meticulous work.

Three sentences, each of which is a big deal.

While thinking in his heart, Luo Junyao put the paper on the fire and burned it.

Bai Jingrong has an affair with the head coach of the Bai Family Army. Is the relationship between these two unrequited like that of Qu Fang, or is there a so-called interest involved?
Not only did Ji Zhan know that Bai Jingrong was not in the palace tonight, he might even know where Bai Jingrong was going and what he was doing.

He knew even more that Bai Jingrong never wanted his lover to know about this matter.

In other words, what Bai Jingrong did tonight was completely contrary to the interests and ideas of the head coach of the Bai family army.

So, what kind of agreement and tacit understanding did Bai Jingrong reach with the head coach of the Bai family army?

No matter what Bai Jingrong did back then, Qu Fang didn't care at all.

However, if Bai Jingrong did this, would he really not overturn the car?
Luo Junyao couldn't help resting his chin in thought: Is this the confidence of a stunning beauty?
Although Luo Junyao was a little narcissistic occasionally, she never had the confidence to turn all living beings upside down.

Bai Jingrong's bedroom was still surrounded by people inside and out, so it was naturally impossible for Luo Junyao to just fall asleep like this.

She was also a little curious about how Bai Jingrong would end this matter tonight.

After waiting for more than an hour, there was finally movement outside.

Luo Junyao immediately jumped up from the bed and went out quickly.

Sure enough, the yard was still full of people, and no one was surprised by her appearance, and no one even looked at her more.

Bai Ning and Yun Chang had already led the people towards the gate of the central palace, and those who stayed in the palace to watch also went towards the gate of the palace.

There was no Bai Jingrong at the gate of the palace, and many people who were guarding the gate of the palace went outside one after another, apparently wanting to retreat.

Luo Junyao moved closer to Bai Ning and Yun Chang, looked at this scene and asked curiously: "Sister Bai Ning, what happened? How did they leave?"

Bai Ning patted her arm, said with a sneer, "I heard that the assassin has gone to the king's side, and there is chaos there right now. Hurry up and go back to rest, and be careful of the assassin running over to scare you."

Luo Junyao blinked his eyes quickly, everyone knew that the so-called assassin was just a cover, and now he said that the assassin went to Ji Zhan's side, could it be...

Bai Jingrong was irritated by his son, and planned to teach Ji Zhan a lesson?
This mother and son are really...

Luo Junyao was amazed at the mother and son.

Being urged by Bai Ning, Luo Junyao couldn't show too much curiosity, so he had to go back to his room sullenly.

Behind him, Yun Chang was heard whispering to Bai Ning about his dissatisfaction with Ji Zhan, and there was no lack of gloating in his words.Bai Ning responded unhurriedly, but he couldn't hear any joy or anger.

Bai Ning is more important than Yunchang in front of Bai Jingrong because she has her own ability, not just because her surname is Bai.

The royal court of the Qi clan is only this big, and the excitement in the palace last night spread throughout the entire royal court early in the morning.

In the morning, Ji Zhan finished his discussions with the officials of the Qi clan, and when he came out of the hall, his face was also gloomy.

At the court meeting, both the nobles of the Qi clan and the generals of the Bai family army pointed their fingers at what happened in the palace last night, which made Ji Zhan, the owner of the palace, very unhappy.

What made him even more displeased was that while both parties hinted at the empress dowager's misbehavior, they explicitly accused him of sending people to besiege the empress dowager's bedroom, which violated filial piety.

The two sides quarreled very happily, but it was he, King Qi, who was splinted in the middle.

Thinking of what happened last night again, Ji Zhan's face became more and more gloomy.

Mother actually sent someone to assassinate him!
He knew that the man didn't really intend to kill him, but this move was tantamount to a provocation to Ji Zhan, who had just succeeded to the throne.

Ji Zhan's dissatisfaction with Bai Jingrong also reached its peak.

He didn't understand, why did his mother fight against him everywhere?
Because he is half of the blood of the Central Plains, it is already very difficult to control the forces of all parties after he succeeds to the throne. His mother will make things difficult for him not only to help him.

Not to mention the women from the Central Plains, even the first queen mothers of the Qi clan, none of them were so impatient to fight for power with their sons.If he loses, what good will it do her?Did she think that without her son to rely on, she could still enjoy the status and treatment of the Queen Mother in the royal court of the Qi clan?
She wanted a puppet King Qi, but did she really think that the dignitaries of the Qi clan could accept a new king who was treated as a puppet by the Queen Mother?
Even after so many years, there are still many people in the Qi clan who dissatisfy their mother and son. Originally, this is the time when their mother and son should work together!

"I have met the king." Ji Zhan stepped into Bai Jingrong's bedroom with a gloomy face, and saw Bai Jingrong sitting lazily on the soft couch, talking to Luo Junyao who was sitting next to him with a smile.

Seeing him coming in, Bai Jingrong still looked leisurely and calm, as if nothing happened last night.

"Ah Zhan is here." Bai Jingrong smiled and stretched out his hand towards Ji Zhan, saying, "You didn't get scared last night, come here and let mother see."

"I have seen the king."

Ji Zhan cast a cold glance at Luo Jun. He had heard from his subordinates that this girl named Chuchu also showed up last night.If she hadn't run out at a critical moment, maybe his people had rushed into the bedroom.

Ji Zhan snorted coldly, and walked up to Bai Jingrong.

Bai Jingrong sat up, smiled and raised his hand to gently caress Ji Zhan's handsome face, "You don't look well, did you not sleep well last night?"

Ji Zhan was condescending, just in time to see some ambiguous traces under Bai Jingrong's loose skirt, and his face became more gloomy and stern.

"Azhan." The smile on Bai Jingrong's face gradually receded, and she looked indifferently at her son who was much taller than her.

Ji Zhan ignored Luo Junyao and was still standing beside him, staring at Bai Jingrong and said coldly, "Does mother really want her son to die?"

Bai Jingrong said softly: "What are you talking about? You are a child born and raised by your mother so hard. How could your mother be willing to let you die? It's just that, Ah Zhan, you made trouble too. Didn't you go too far last night?"

Ji Zhan was relieved, he sneered twice and said, "I was too much?! Do you think I don't know what you did last night?"

Bai Jingrong said: "No matter what I do, it's none of your business. Ah Zhan, if only you were as obedient as before, it's a pity..."

Ji Zhan said coldly: "In mother's mind, what is obedience? Like my two younger brothers?"

"What's wrong with them?" Bai Jingrong asked.

"One of them is dead, and the other's life is no different these years." Ji Zhan said: "Mother, I am King Qi."

Bai Jingrong lost interest, and said in a cold voice, "Forget it, let's talk, what do you want to do?"

Ji Zhan stared at her and said, "Last night was the last time. I hope mother will stay in the palace well from today. If there is another time, don't blame my son for being unfilial."

"Oh?" Bai Jingrong said, "You really want to put me under house arrest."

Ji Zhan said coldly: "Mother, please don't step out of this palace gate until the tribute of all ethnic groups is over. Please remember." After speaking, Ji Zhan turned around unceremoniously and walked away.

Behind him, Bai Jingrong stared at his back indifferently, and said coldly, "Ji Zhan."

"Mother?" Luo Junyao looked at the murderous intent in Bai Jingrong's eyes, secretly surprised at how bad the relationship between Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan was.

Bai Jingrong looked at her calmly, the killing intent in his eyes slowly dissipated.

After a while, Bai Jingrong said slowly: "He thought he became King Qi, so he wanted to get rid of my mother."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Bai Jingrong snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "You ungrateful thing! If I hadn't been born as a woman unfortunately, why should I have such a thing!"

Seeing the cold and hateful expression on her face, Luo Junyao was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to comfort her.

What Bai Jingrong said was not wrong. If she had been a man, she would have been able to take over all the powers when her brother died, instead of being forced to lead a part of the Bai family army to escape outside the Great Wall and rely on the Qi people.

Regardless of success or failure, she should be convinced.

But the world is so unfair that she is not given a chance to be convinced. The world cannot accept her as a princess to take over the Bai family.

Even those who are still loyal to her, apart from being obsessed with her beauty, most of them actually put their hopes on her offspring.

Even if they have foreign blood, in the eyes of these people, a man of Bai family blood is still more worthy of their allegiance than Bai Jingrong who is a woman.

Because of this, after Ji Zhan grew up, these people gradually became more inclined to Ji Zhan.

How could Bai Jingrong be reconciled to this?How can you not hate?

At this time, Ji Zhan's defense and resistance against her undoubtedly irritated Bai Jingrong even more.

She couldn't tolerate Ji Zhan's betrayal, just like she couldn't accept that she planned half her life, but in the end she could only make wedding dresses for others.

Even if this other person is her own son.
