Chapter 151 Congratulations
Chapter 151 Congratulations to Lord Chitose
The inside of the palace was in chaos, and the outside of the palace was also in chaos. The entire capital city was engulfed in gloom and mist.Everyone felt that Mr. Zhao in the Shangshu Mansion was unhappy and was not welcomed by the emperor, and then the whole capital was not welcomed by Mr. Zhao.
This Zhao family has one of the best positions in the capital, and they are about to stomp their feet.
The queen was imprisoned, saying that the confinement was actually equivalent to house arrest.Before the matter was resolved, the queen was still suspected of murder.The emperor didn't know whether the case of the emperor's heir had something to do with the empress, but in the emperor's heart, the empress was no longer a good person.
The emperor has been living in the Sanqing Palace for the past few days, practicing meditation with Daoist Xu.The matter of the harem was handed over to the Supervisor of Rites, and the case of the emperor's heir was also handed over to Dongchang.
The imperial court had already received the notice that Prime Minister Zhao Song was about to return to the court, the emperor thought to himself that since the prime minister was coming back, he couldn't make too much trouble with Zhao Wuyou, lest Zhao Song's face would be embarrassing.Zhao Song did his best for the imperial court, and even went to neighboring countries for so long, it is really hard work.The emperor must not be too mean to the hero, after thinking about it, he calmed down and waited for Mu Baili's reply.
If the matter in the harem had nothing to do with Zhao Wuyou, the emperor decided to put down his face and talk to Zhao Wuyou this time.The relationship between the monarch and his ministers should not be too rigid, otherwise something will happen.
But how to ease the relationship?
The emperor rubbed his brows, and beckoned Xiao Dezi to come forward, "Little Dezi, give me advice, you said the prime minister is coming back, if you know that I wronged his son to kill my emperor's heir, you have been left in the cold for so long , will the prime minister—”
Xiao Dezi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's most taboo is his own reputation. You see, the prime minister's mansion is heavily guarded, and Mr. Zhao is used to being cautious. Now that the emperor doubts Mr. Zhao, he just It is tantamount to suspecting that the Prime Minister is disloyal to the imperial court. Your Majesty, it seems that we have to weigh this matter carefully, or it will hurt the Prime Minister's heart."
"It's all the fault of that bastard queen, who came up with such a bad idea, and said that Zhao Wuyou killed my emperor's heir." The emperor felt a headache, so he stretched out his hand and threw Fuchen out, got up and walked out.
Xiao Dezi followed quickly, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this matter? Otherwise, Your Majesty, think about it, what request does Mr. Zhao have? If there is any request, the Emperor will give you some rewards."
The emperor paused, "Reward? What kind of reward should I give?"
Thinking of this, the emperor sat down in the corridor, racking his brains to think about what Zhao Wuyou said and did before this, what request did Zhao Wuyou have?Zhao Song is coming back, if he knows that his only son has been wronged, he will inevitably be angry.
The emperor thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and Xiao Dezi didn't figure it out either. The master and servant kept thinking about how to please a court minister, which was enough.
Suddenly, the emperor seemed to think of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I know!"
Xiao Dezi was taken aback, "What does the emperor know?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Dezi with a smile, "This Shangshu Mansion has everything. I have given everything that should be given to me. Now I will definitely have everything. After much deliberation, this is the only way I can come up with."
"What does the emperor mean?" Xiao Dezi was puzzled.
The emperor turned around and left, Xiao Dezi followed behind the emperor.
The emperor went directly back to the imperial study, and then summoned the drafted academicians to come in and directly draft the decree.Seeing that Xiao Dezi was beside him, he was stunned for a while, his eyes widened for a long time and he didn't recover.
The imperial decree has been drawn up, and the emperor personally handed over the imperial decree to Xiao Dezi, "Master Zhao must be the first to know about this news."
Xiao Dezi took a deep breath and saluted respectfully.
To lead the decree to leave the palace, Xiao Dezi had to go to Shangshu Mansion first.
Zhao Wuyou didn't expect that Xiao Dezi would come suddenly, this matter came too hastily.It was too late to convey the news from the palace, after all, this was the emperor's sudden rise.
For some unknown reason, Zhao Wuyou only felt some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen.When she looked at Xiao Dezi, her face was a little sick, and her heart was a little sick.
Xiao Dezi smiled, "My servant greets Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Wuyou leaned over and bowed, "Eunuch De is polite."
"Master Zhao!" Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "I came here this time at the will of the emperor. The emperor has decreed that I will give Master Zhao the Nine Dragon Cup, grant Master Zhao the grace of the Golden Palace, and walk freely in the Imperial Study Room." .”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Dezi took a list from the slave beside him, and handed it to Zhao Wuyou respectfully, "This is the list of items bestowed by the emperor, I hope Mr. Zhao will check it out."
Zhao Wuyou smiled lightly, and casually picked up a brocade box, inside was a jade pendant inlaid with gold.Closing the box unhurriedly, Zhao Wuyou glanced at Yunzheng and the servants below, and Yunzheng quickly led them towards the warehouse.
Since it is a reward from the emperor, it has to be stored in the warehouse after it is counted.
Zhao Wuyou turned around and left, Xiao Dezi followed up with knowledge and interest.
"Eunuch De is serving the emperor, and I think he can clearly see the emperor's joy and anger during this period of time. Regarding the matter of the harem, I really—" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly and stopped in his tracks.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, the emperor must have believed in Master Zhao's innocence to reward Master Zhao, and I hope Master Zhao will not take it to heart."
"How dare a humble minister." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward and clasped his fists, "A humble minister is a minister, and the emperor is a king. If the king wants a minister to die, the minister must die, so how dare he complain about the emperor. The humble minister stayed silent for several days in the mansion, just to prove One's own innocence. The pure will be pure, the turbid will be turbid, and the humble minister has no shame in his heart."
"Master Zhao's words, the servant will convey to the emperor one by one, please rest assured, Mr. Zhao. Not only did the emperor dispel his suspicion about Mr. Zhao, but he also did something about Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao had mentioned to the emperor earlier. What happened." Xiao Dezi smiled.
Zhao Wuyou calmly put the brocade box in Xiao Dezi's hands, and the two smiled tacitly at each other.
"What else did the emperor say?" Zhao Wuyou asked again.
Xiao Dezi took out the imperial decree from his sleeve with a smile, then looked around, and handed it to Zhao Wuyou respectfully, "Master Zhao, you can have a look first."
It stands to reason that this imperial decree should not be read by others first, but the emperor issued an oral order, saying that Zhao Wuyou should be the first to know.So Xiao Dezi's move is not wrong.
Zhao Wuyou stared at the imperial decree in his hand for a long time, Xiao Dezi was able to hand over the imperial decree to her, it must be the emperor's intention.The imperial decree was probably issued for her by the emperor.
But when he saw the above content, Zhao Wuyou's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Dezi also seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and called out in a low voice, "Master Zhao?"
Zhao Wuyou suddenly came back to his senses, "What?"
"Are you okay?" Xiao Dezi looked at her with a frown, "Master Zhao's complexion doesn't seem very good, and he doesn't seem very happy either!"
Zhao Wuyou sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that it came suddenly, and I couldn't recover for a while."
"My lord Zhao didn't expect that the emperor would care so much about what he said to my lord Zhao, right? My lord Zhao just mentioned it at the beginning, but now my majesty takes it seriously. It can be seen that the emperor has absolute trust in what he has said to my lord Zhao." Xiaode Zizi laughed and said, "I still have to go to proclaim the decree to Lord Qiansui, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhao's rest. Let's leave!"
"Eunuch De!" Zhao Wuyou said suddenly, "Can I, can I join you?"
Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Lord Zhao wants to—" Anyway, the emperor made the imperial decree for Zhao Wuyou, so it's a good idea to let Zhao Wuyou watch it. Xiao Dezi can also invite credit and reward.
Zhao Wuyou smiled a little coldly, feeling depressed in his heart, he didn't know what it was like.
The Qiantui Mansion is still under supervision, so Mu Baili is still staying in the East Factory.Hearing that Lu Guoan came to report that someone from the palace had come to announce the decree, Mu Baili was taken aback for a moment.
But after thinking about it, the emperor used to do what he wanted, no matter what he did, it was always unexpected, so he didn't take it to heart.As soon as he walked out of the study, and heard Shen Yan report that it was Zhao Wuyou who accompanied Eunuch De, Mu Baili's face froze for a moment.
Zhao Wuyou also came?
Every time Zhao Wuyou was lured to the East Factory by him, he still had an expression of unwillingness from the boss, but now that Zhao Wuyou came by himself, it can be seen that it is not a good thing.Zhao Wuyou is a person who does not go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.
"Master, what's the matter?" Lu Guoan asked.
Mu Baili stood under the corridor, his eyes darkened, "It's nothing."
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, Xiao Dezi and Zhao Wuyou were already waiting there.Mu Baili glanced at Xiao Dezi, then his eyes fell on Zhao Wuyou who was behind him.At this moment, Zhao Wuyou's complexion was slightly pale, and his expression seemed a little cold, exuding a sense of rejection.
Mu Baili thought about it, and sure enough something happened.
Xiao Dezi stepped forward and saluted, "My servant greets Lord Qiantose."
"That's all!" Mu Baili waved his sleeves.
Xiao Dezi held up the imperial decree, "Accept the decree at nine thousand years old!"
Zhao Wuyou didn't go to see Mu Baili from the beginning to the end, but stepped aside after hearing this.
For the time being, Mu Baili had no time to think about the reason for Zhao Wuyou's expression, so he could only kneel down to accept the imperial edict.It's just that the meaning mentioned in this edict made Mu Baili's eyes widen in shock, and then only frowns remained.
After Xiao Dezi read the imperial decree, the high-pitched "Qi this" made everyone fall into a dead silence.
No one spoke, and no one dared to speak. Xiao Dezi's hand holding the imperial decree trembled slightly.He swallowed, looked at Zhao Wuyou who was not far away, and then looked tremblingly at Mu Baili who got up slowly.
This marriage decree means that a joke in the past has become a certainty today.Xiao Dezi is also a smart person, he knew that if Miss Xuelan was invited out in advance, it would be impossible for Mu Baili to kneel down to accept the imperial edict.But the emperor meant to make Zhao Wuyou happy, and Zhao Wuyou indeed followed Xiao Dezi to the East Factory.
That's why Xiao Dezi felt that Zhao Wuyou should have a happy attitude towards this matter.
Since Zhao Wuyou is the main one, then Mu Baili's thoughts are not so important.
But the current situation seems to be a little bit wrong, Mu Baili has a dark face and doesn't say a word, Zhao Wuyou standing aside is not as cynical as usual, the situation seems to have fallen into a peaceful and embarrassing situation.
The most embarrassing thing was Xiao Dezi, he half bent his body, handed the imperial decree slightly forward, and waited for Mu Baili to reach out to receive it.But Mu Baili stood there motionless and didn't speak, Xiao Dezi didn't know whether to take back the imperial edict or hand it over to Mu Baili?
After a long time, Xiao Dezi's body was almost stiff, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Master Qiantui, do you accept this edict or not?"
Mu Baili's gaze fell on Zhao Wuyou's body icily, and his originally gentle eyes became sharp like a blade in an instant.Hearing Xiao Dezi's voice, he closed his eyes, lowered his head and sneered, "My minister, accept the order!"
Zhao Wuyou frowned in horror.
She watched intently as Mu Baili reached out to accept the imperial decree, then a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she just stared at Zhao Wuyou coldly.He seemed to want to see through her, but she didn't express her emotions easily, so it was impossible for him to see clearly the turmoil in her heart at the moment.
Xiao Dezi was relieved, "Since Lord Chitose has accepted the imperial decree, I hope that Lord Chitose will make preparations early. The emperor has decided to prepare a dowry for Miss Xuelan. When the time comes, Lord Chitose's marriage will definitely be beautiful."
Mu Baili almost gritted his teeth, "Then I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness, I will definitely do what the emperor wishes." But when he said this, he kept staring at Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuyou slightly turned his head away, he didn't want to say anything more, and it would be useless to talk too much when it comes to this.
"Slave, go and report to the emperor!" Xiao Dezi saluted, then walked out, Zhao Wuyou paused, and then followed closely behind.
Unexpectedly, Mu Baili turned cold behind him, and shouted, "Master Zhao, please stay."
Zhao Wuyou stopped in his tracks, only feeling suffocated.
Xiao Dezi glanced back at Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou smiled nonchalantly, "Eunuch De returns to the palace first, lest the emperor worry about it!"
"Yes!" Xiao Dezi was a little worried, but this was Dongchang after all, and Zhao Wuyou's identity could not tolerate Mu Baili's reckless actions.Thinking of this, Xiao Dezi had no choice but to leave Dongchang first.
When going out, Yunzheng failed to see her young master come out, and immediately understood that Zhao Wuyou was detained by Mu Baili.
"Elder-in-law, my son—" Yunzheng showed a look of embarrassment.
Xiao Dezi sighed lightly and got into the carriage, "It's okay, Master Qiantui probably left Mr. Zhao to catch up on the old days, and Miss Yunzheng is waiting outside. The miscellaneous family is going back to the palace to return to their orders."
Yunzheng was taken aback, "Return to the palace and return to life? Dare I ask my father-in-law, has Lord Qiantui accepted the imperial edict?"
"Of course." Xiao Dezi said, "Otherwise, how could the miscellaneous families walk out of the gate of the East Factory?" After a pause, Xiao Dezi seemed to have thought of something, "Why does Miss Yunzheng ask like this? Miss Yunzheng thinks that Lord Qiantose Impossible to agree to this marriage?"
"I don't dare!" Yunzheng bowed her head, "I just think that such a proud and arrogant person as Lord Qiantui shouldn't look at this worldly vulgar fan."
Xiao Dezi chuckled twice, "That's natural. This girl from Xuelan looks like a fairy, and she is naturally not an ordinary vulgar fan who can be compared." The woman who can bring Mu Baili back to the capital from Pinglin City is naturally Can not be underestimated.
Yunzheng didn't dare to say anything more, so as not to make too many mistakes, she could only watch helplessly as the palace team drove away.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time you have entered Dongchang." Xi Mo was not too worried, "Young master will be fine."
Yunzheng stared fixedly at the majestic Dongchang gate, her eyes darkened.
The son is still inside, and he doesn't know what happened.
Of course, Mu Baili would not do anything to Zhao Wuyou, after all, Zhao Wuyou is the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the prince's junior teacher, even this sudden gift of marriage was because the emperor wanted to please Zhao Wuyou.A king can't apologize for doing something wrong. He has no choice but to start from sideways.
As a result, Mu Baili suffered a blow.
Tightening her wrist, Mu Baili had already grasped Zhao Wuyou's wrist with a heavy force, as if she wanted to crush her wrist.The pain made Zhao Wuyou gasp, turned his head in shock, and stared at Mu Baili in front of him with cold eyes.
"Master Chitose is blaming me for not congratulating you on the spot for getting what you wish?" Zhao Wuyou gritted his teeth and shouted.She wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly, and it hurt too much.
Mu Baili was full of hostility, and the doors and windows were closed tightly in his sleeves.The next moment, he pushed her up against the pillar.His fingertips, now glowing with scorching temperature, had pinched her delicate jaw, forcing her to look at him, and shouted her name in a low voice. "Zhao Wuyou!"
Zhao Wuyou had a stiff face, "Mu Baili, what else do you want? The emperor has decreed that now you can spend the rest of your life with your little beauty. I wish the Lord Qiansui and his wife grow old together, and raise their eyebrows together."
"You really think so?" He asked, his tone became weak, with a sense of frustration.
Zhao Wuyou opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.How should I start?How should I say it?She didn't know how to speak.
Letting out a long breath, Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes and smiled a bit awkwardly, lightly brushed away his hand, and slowly broke away from his restraint.He didn't stop her, but suddenly felt weak, watching her walk out of his sight.
Zhao Wuyou stood in the center of the hall with his back turned to him.
"Mu Baili, I know what you want to say, don't you just rely on me to like you? But Mu Baili, I know what I'm doing, and you know what you want even more." She looked back at him, "So your life and mine are contradictory. They seem to be the same, but they are actually opposite. What you want is the same as what I want, nothing more than power and status."
She narrowed her eyes, "So we are destined to be enemies. Although you know that I am a daughter, I don't mind that you are a eunuch, but I can't do what Xuelan can do. The emperor suddenly made this decision. It doesn't matter, if you think it's my idea, then so be it!"
After saying these words, Zhao Wuyou felt a little more uncomfortable in her heart. She lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, then looked up at Mu Baili who was silent and had sharp eyes.
He kept staring at her, without too many emotional fluctuations on his thick and colorful face, and in those cold pupils, there was only the dark night and her shadow.
"Disappointed?" she asked.Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, that's the end of the story, what should be said and what should not be said, will be settled from today. Mu Baili, happy wedding!"
After saying that, she quickly walked towards the door.
"Zhao Wuyou!" Mu Baili finally spoke.
Standing back to back, no one can see each other's expressions clearly.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Mu Baili said, "You are so afraid of being found out, are you with me?"
She frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Since when have I been with you? Don't forget, you are Jiuqian from Dongchang, and I am the only son of the prime minister's mansion. You and I are enemies from the beginning. "
"With such a clear mind, it's no wonder this illness has never recovered." Mu Baili turned around coldly.Finally met each other, finally stood face to face, he stopped his hand, "Come here."
Zhao Wuyou took a step back, "I will never go there again."
He narrowed his dangerous eyes, and said with a heavy tone, "Come here."
She took another step back, "I don't!"
"Zhao Wuyou, what exactly do you want?" Mu Baili looked at her helplessly.
Zhao Wuyou didn't know what she was thinking, the moment she saw him accept the imperial decree, the first reaction in her mind was that night, he was dressed in bright red and happy clothes.The tip of the nose was slightly acidic, the eye sockets were slightly moist, Zhao Wuyou frowned again.
There would never be a time like that again, she thought.
It turns out that many things will pass quickly, but they will never return to the past.So be it!It seems that this is the only way to go!From their origin, it was doomed to be such a result.
"I don't want to do anything." She choked up for a moment, then tried her best to adjust her emotions and put on a nonchalant posture.But for some reason, the position under the left shoulder felt like a big rock was pressing on it, and it hurt so badly.
He could hear her nasal voice, but on her pale face, there were no excessive emotional fluctuations.She is always so suspicious, unpredictable and incomprehensible.
The next moment, Zhao Wuyou was greeted by his warm embrace, "Since you don't want to leave, it's the same for me to come here. Zhao Wuyou, do you know that sometimes I really want to strangle you to death?"
She smiled coldly, "For your Gu, you'd better show mercy."
"Do you really think that the Gu on your body is so important? If I can't get it, I can kill you and destroy it, and then no one will get it." He bit her earlobe and whispered, "You Say you like me."
She froze for a moment, then remained silent.
"Say it again." He said in a low voice.
Zhao Wuyou was hugged in his arms, emotional and rational being torn apart.She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist, responding to his hug, but she had said everything clearly, and there was really no need to continue entanglement.She is Zhao Wuyou, and her father is Prime Minister Zhao Song.
Before his father left, he said that she must be allowed to guard the prime minister's mansion, and Dongchang must not be allowed to rule alone and hold the power of the world.She was also afraid, afraid that if she continued to encourage the expansion of Dongchang's power, if she was not sure that Dongchang would "suspend to death" at the final stage, then it would be her prime minister's mansion and her nine clans of the Zhao family who would die.
She didn't dare to take risks, so many lives were tied to her body!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly pushed Mu Baili away, and looked directly at Mu Baili in front of him with a cold gaze.How could the eunuch have feelings?Eunuchs are the coldest cold-blooded animals in the world, all of their existence is just to suck blood.
So she can't be blinded by the tenderness in front of her eyes, she has to stay awake.
Even though she does not deny that she likes Mu Baili, she cannot ignore the threat from Dongchang.She didn't believe that Mu Baili would treat her sincerely, all his behaviors were just seduction step by step, gradually weaving a dangerous trap for her.
If she gets caught in it, she will be lost forever.
Mu Baili was slightly taken aback, when he saw that the defensiveness in her eyes gradually replaced the initial tenderness, he knew that he had never really been able to get into her heart.She always maintains the most vigilant guard against everything around her.
He lost again.
Losing to the same person is extremely unreconciled.
"Congratulations to Lord Qiantui for embracing the beauty, I should go too." Zhao Wuyou was indifferent and alienated, trying to keep a distance from him, as if the person who said he liked just now was not her.She turned her face so fast that he was caught off guard.
She almost ran out of the door, so surprised that Lu Guoan outside quickly stopped Shen Yan, and then pressed Shen Yan to a secluded place.
When Mu Baili chased him out, Zhao Wuyou had already reached the steps, but Mu Baili still held his hand.His scorching palm was wrapped around her icy cold hand, just like before, he held it tightly and never let go.
The four eyes are facing each other, so many words are not in the middle.
When Xue Lan came over, she stood there in a daze for a long time without recovering.She heard people from the palace coming over, and wanted to come over to see what happened, but who knew that she saw Mu Baili holding Zhao Wuyou's hand tightly.
There was a buzzing sound in her mind, and she suddenly understood why her brother Ran Heng didn't like her. It turned out that brother Ran Heng had changed his mind and no longer liked women.Could it be that because he became a eunuch, his emotions also changed, and his hobbies were no longer the same?
Xue Lan's mind was in a mess, and she turned her head to look at Lu Guoan and Shen Yan who stood aside and didn't know what to say.It's not appropriate to say anything at this time, look at the two people holding hands in the yard, everything is obvious, is there any need to say it?
Besides, if the two people in the yard were startled, no one would be able to eat and walk around.
"Let go!" Zhao Wuyou only felt his face burning hot.
Mu Baili looked at her steadfastly, with a solemn expression, "I'm gone this time, so I won't come again!"
"Don't come again!" She said meaningfully.
He nodded and finally withdrew his hand, but she forgot to leave and just stood there looking at him.He looked at her with a quiet helplessness that she didn't understand.Sometimes Zhao Wuyou thinks about each other carefully, and the current relationship seems to be described as helpless.
She didn't know his thoughts, and she didn't dare to admit her own thoughts.
So the two who are too smart have been using the way of guessing and guessing, attracting each other and guarding against each other, never crossing the last soul defense.
Mu Baili let go, and Zhao Wuyou never looked back.Mingming was very angry, holding a breath in his heart, but didn't know what to say.They are clearly not people who are afraid, but who knows that there are situations where words come to their lips but cannot be said.
He watched her go and didn't hold her back.
It was her sentence in my mind, don't do it again.
He thought about it, how many times had she said that?But every time he couldn't hold back, and she didn't drive him away again.Speaking of it, no one's promises count, so what the two of them said has never been credible, and whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
When Mu Baili turned his head, he happened to see the pale Xue Lan.
She stared at him in disbelief, and Yue Mo also felt that it was an unforgivable thing for him to like a "man".As a eunuch, you are still restless, and you still have to flirt with men, which is indeed a ridiculous thing in the world.
Mu Baili withdrew his gaze, and returned to the main hall unhurriedly. Looking at the bright yellow imperial decree on the table, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Lu Guoan took a deep breath and cautiously stepped forward to salute, "Master, are you alright?"
"The imperial decree has been issued." Mu Baili breathed a sigh of relief, "Get ready!"
When Xiao Dezi read out the imperial decree, Lu Guoan and Shen Yan were kneeling outside the door. Hearing what Mu Baili said, they were stunned.The two looked at each other, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Master, do you—really want to get married?"
Mu Baili closed his eyes and didn't make a sound.
Lu Guoan didn't dare to say anything, so he lightly pushed Shen Yan, and the two saluted and quickly retreated.Since it was the order of Lord Chitose, the two of them followed suit.There is still an imperial decree on the top, who dares to say more.
When Xue Lan came in, there were tears on her face, "I finally know why my brother punished me for Zhao Wuyou. Now, I understand one thing. It turns out that people's hearts really change. My brother fell in love with a man." , I like Zhao Wuyou."
Hearing this, Mu Baili looked back at her coldly, "And then?"
"Then my brother is still my brother, and I won't change it." Xue Lan smiled and shed tears, "If you said it earlier, maybe many things could have been avoided. I know that my brother is now nine thousand years old, with a high position and authority, and many things are It shouldn't be said. But brother, if you like it, you should stick to it, right? I traveled all the way from Beijiang to Daye for this unwarranted promise."
She raised her hand to wipe her tears, but she didn't know that the tears were more and more, "I will like whatever my brother likes. I will support whatever my brother wants. Even though many things no longer belong to me, just treat me like I am still in a dream." Just wishful thinking!"
After finishing speaking, Xue Lan looked at the imperial decree on the table, "Zhao Wuyou—what's the good? Is it just because he is smarter than me and more worthy of my brother? Or is it that what brother needs is the power behind him?" , instead of Zhao Wuyou?"
"Xue Lan, you ask too many questions." Mu Baili walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
"I don't ask too many questions, I just want to give myself an explanation." She looked at his back, "Brother, I have the right to know, after all, my name has appeared on the emperor's imperial decree, which you cannot escape Fact. Does brother really like Zhao Wuyou?"
Mu Baili sneered, "How do you like it? So what if you don't like it? Who dares to comment on this matter?"
"That's liking." Xue Lan raised her head slightly, as if trying to force tears back into her eyes.Then, she reported, "Don't worry, I know what I should do. The children of Beijiang are not hypocritical people. Since my brother has his own heart, Xue Lan should bless him."
She walked past Mu Baili with a bleak smile on her pale face.
Mu Baili did not refute or affirm.
like?
Zhao Wuyou said that she liked him.
What about him?
He never seemed to express anything like that, so what was his feeling for her?
Xue Lan looked back in tears, but she never waited for Mu Baili to persuade her to stay, nor did she wait for a moment of hesitation.It turns out that liking is true, and disliking is also true.
Suddenly, a black shadow blocked Xue Lan's way.
(End of this chapter)
The inside of the palace was in chaos, and the outside of the palace was also in chaos. The entire capital city was engulfed in gloom and mist.Everyone felt that Mr. Zhao in the Shangshu Mansion was unhappy and was not welcomed by the emperor, and then the whole capital was not welcomed by Mr. Zhao.
This Zhao family has one of the best positions in the capital, and they are about to stomp their feet.
The queen was imprisoned, saying that the confinement was actually equivalent to house arrest.Before the matter was resolved, the queen was still suspected of murder.The emperor didn't know whether the case of the emperor's heir had something to do with the empress, but in the emperor's heart, the empress was no longer a good person.
The emperor has been living in the Sanqing Palace for the past few days, practicing meditation with Daoist Xu.The matter of the harem was handed over to the Supervisor of Rites, and the case of the emperor's heir was also handed over to Dongchang.
The imperial court had already received the notice that Prime Minister Zhao Song was about to return to the court, the emperor thought to himself that since the prime minister was coming back, he couldn't make too much trouble with Zhao Wuyou, lest Zhao Song's face would be embarrassing.Zhao Song did his best for the imperial court, and even went to neighboring countries for so long, it is really hard work.The emperor must not be too mean to the hero, after thinking about it, he calmed down and waited for Mu Baili's reply.
If the matter in the harem had nothing to do with Zhao Wuyou, the emperor decided to put down his face and talk to Zhao Wuyou this time.The relationship between the monarch and his ministers should not be too rigid, otherwise something will happen.
But how to ease the relationship?
The emperor rubbed his brows, and beckoned Xiao Dezi to come forward, "Little Dezi, give me advice, you said the prime minister is coming back, if you know that I wronged his son to kill my emperor's heir, you have been left in the cold for so long , will the prime minister—”
Xiao Dezi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's most taboo is his own reputation. You see, the prime minister's mansion is heavily guarded, and Mr. Zhao is used to being cautious. Now that the emperor doubts Mr. Zhao, he just It is tantamount to suspecting that the Prime Minister is disloyal to the imperial court. Your Majesty, it seems that we have to weigh this matter carefully, or it will hurt the Prime Minister's heart."
"It's all the fault of that bastard queen, who came up with such a bad idea, and said that Zhao Wuyou killed my emperor's heir." The emperor felt a headache, so he stretched out his hand and threw Fuchen out, got up and walked out.
Xiao Dezi followed quickly, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this matter? Otherwise, Your Majesty, think about it, what request does Mr. Zhao have? If there is any request, the Emperor will give you some rewards."
The emperor paused, "Reward? What kind of reward should I give?"
Thinking of this, the emperor sat down in the corridor, racking his brains to think about what Zhao Wuyou said and did before this, what request did Zhao Wuyou have?Zhao Song is coming back, if he knows that his only son has been wronged, he will inevitably be angry.
The emperor thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and Xiao Dezi didn't figure it out either. The master and servant kept thinking about how to please a court minister, which was enough.
Suddenly, the emperor seemed to think of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I know!"
Xiao Dezi was taken aback, "What does the emperor know?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Dezi with a smile, "This Shangshu Mansion has everything. I have given everything that should be given to me. Now I will definitely have everything. After much deliberation, this is the only way I can come up with."
"What does the emperor mean?" Xiao Dezi was puzzled.
The emperor turned around and left, Xiao Dezi followed behind the emperor.
The emperor went directly back to the imperial study, and then summoned the drafted academicians to come in and directly draft the decree.Seeing that Xiao Dezi was beside him, he was stunned for a while, his eyes widened for a long time and he didn't recover.
The imperial decree has been drawn up, and the emperor personally handed over the imperial decree to Xiao Dezi, "Master Zhao must be the first to know about this news."
Xiao Dezi took a deep breath and saluted respectfully.
To lead the decree to leave the palace, Xiao Dezi had to go to Shangshu Mansion first.
Zhao Wuyou didn't expect that Xiao Dezi would come suddenly, this matter came too hastily.It was too late to convey the news from the palace, after all, this was the emperor's sudden rise.
For some unknown reason, Zhao Wuyou only felt some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen.When she looked at Xiao Dezi, her face was a little sick, and her heart was a little sick.
Xiao Dezi smiled, "My servant greets Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Wuyou leaned over and bowed, "Eunuch De is polite."
"Master Zhao!" Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "I came here this time at the will of the emperor. The emperor has decreed that I will give Master Zhao the Nine Dragon Cup, grant Master Zhao the grace of the Golden Palace, and walk freely in the Imperial Study Room." .”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Dezi took a list from the slave beside him, and handed it to Zhao Wuyou respectfully, "This is the list of items bestowed by the emperor, I hope Mr. Zhao will check it out."
Zhao Wuyou smiled lightly, and casually picked up a brocade box, inside was a jade pendant inlaid with gold.Closing the box unhurriedly, Zhao Wuyou glanced at Yunzheng and the servants below, and Yunzheng quickly led them towards the warehouse.
Since it is a reward from the emperor, it has to be stored in the warehouse after it is counted.
Zhao Wuyou turned around and left, Xiao Dezi followed up with knowledge and interest.
"Eunuch De is serving the emperor, and I think he can clearly see the emperor's joy and anger during this period of time. Regarding the matter of the harem, I really—" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly and stopped in his tracks.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, the emperor must have believed in Master Zhao's innocence to reward Master Zhao, and I hope Master Zhao will not take it to heart."
"How dare a humble minister." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward and clasped his fists, "A humble minister is a minister, and the emperor is a king. If the king wants a minister to die, the minister must die, so how dare he complain about the emperor. The humble minister stayed silent for several days in the mansion, just to prove One's own innocence. The pure will be pure, the turbid will be turbid, and the humble minister has no shame in his heart."
"Master Zhao's words, the servant will convey to the emperor one by one, please rest assured, Mr. Zhao. Not only did the emperor dispel his suspicion about Mr. Zhao, but he also did something about Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao had mentioned to the emperor earlier. What happened." Xiao Dezi smiled.
Zhao Wuyou calmly put the brocade box in Xiao Dezi's hands, and the two smiled tacitly at each other.
"What else did the emperor say?" Zhao Wuyou asked again.
Xiao Dezi took out the imperial decree from his sleeve with a smile, then looked around, and handed it to Zhao Wuyou respectfully, "Master Zhao, you can have a look first."
It stands to reason that this imperial decree should not be read by others first, but the emperor issued an oral order, saying that Zhao Wuyou should be the first to know.So Xiao Dezi's move is not wrong.
Zhao Wuyou stared at the imperial decree in his hand for a long time, Xiao Dezi was able to hand over the imperial decree to her, it must be the emperor's intention.The imperial decree was probably issued for her by the emperor.
But when he saw the above content, Zhao Wuyou's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Dezi also seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and called out in a low voice, "Master Zhao?"
Zhao Wuyou suddenly came back to his senses, "What?"
"Are you okay?" Xiao Dezi looked at her with a frown, "Master Zhao's complexion doesn't seem very good, and he doesn't seem very happy either!"
Zhao Wuyou sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that it came suddenly, and I couldn't recover for a while."
"My lord Zhao didn't expect that the emperor would care so much about what he said to my lord Zhao, right? My lord Zhao just mentioned it at the beginning, but now my majesty takes it seriously. It can be seen that the emperor has absolute trust in what he has said to my lord Zhao." Xiaode Zizi laughed and said, "I still have to go to proclaim the decree to Lord Qiansui, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhao's rest. Let's leave!"
"Eunuch De!" Zhao Wuyou said suddenly, "Can I, can I join you?"
Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Lord Zhao wants to—" Anyway, the emperor made the imperial decree for Zhao Wuyou, so it's a good idea to let Zhao Wuyou watch it. Xiao Dezi can also invite credit and reward.
Zhao Wuyou smiled a little coldly, feeling depressed in his heart, he didn't know what it was like.
The Qiantui Mansion is still under supervision, so Mu Baili is still staying in the East Factory.Hearing that Lu Guoan came to report that someone from the palace had come to announce the decree, Mu Baili was taken aback for a moment.
But after thinking about it, the emperor used to do what he wanted, no matter what he did, it was always unexpected, so he didn't take it to heart.As soon as he walked out of the study, and heard Shen Yan report that it was Zhao Wuyou who accompanied Eunuch De, Mu Baili's face froze for a moment.
Zhao Wuyou also came?
Every time Zhao Wuyou was lured to the East Factory by him, he still had an expression of unwillingness from the boss, but now that Zhao Wuyou came by himself, it can be seen that it is not a good thing.Zhao Wuyou is a person who does not go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.
"Master, what's the matter?" Lu Guoan asked.
Mu Baili stood under the corridor, his eyes darkened, "It's nothing."
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, Xiao Dezi and Zhao Wuyou were already waiting there.Mu Baili glanced at Xiao Dezi, then his eyes fell on Zhao Wuyou who was behind him.At this moment, Zhao Wuyou's complexion was slightly pale, and his expression seemed a little cold, exuding a sense of rejection.
Mu Baili thought about it, and sure enough something happened.
Xiao Dezi stepped forward and saluted, "My servant greets Lord Qiantose."
"That's all!" Mu Baili waved his sleeves.
Xiao Dezi held up the imperial decree, "Accept the decree at nine thousand years old!"
Zhao Wuyou didn't go to see Mu Baili from the beginning to the end, but stepped aside after hearing this.
For the time being, Mu Baili had no time to think about the reason for Zhao Wuyou's expression, so he could only kneel down to accept the imperial edict.It's just that the meaning mentioned in this edict made Mu Baili's eyes widen in shock, and then only frowns remained.
After Xiao Dezi read the imperial decree, the high-pitched "Qi this" made everyone fall into a dead silence.
No one spoke, and no one dared to speak. Xiao Dezi's hand holding the imperial decree trembled slightly.He swallowed, looked at Zhao Wuyou who was not far away, and then looked tremblingly at Mu Baili who got up slowly.
This marriage decree means that a joke in the past has become a certainty today.Xiao Dezi is also a smart person, he knew that if Miss Xuelan was invited out in advance, it would be impossible for Mu Baili to kneel down to accept the imperial edict.But the emperor meant to make Zhao Wuyou happy, and Zhao Wuyou indeed followed Xiao Dezi to the East Factory.
That's why Xiao Dezi felt that Zhao Wuyou should have a happy attitude towards this matter.
Since Zhao Wuyou is the main one, then Mu Baili's thoughts are not so important.
But the current situation seems to be a little bit wrong, Mu Baili has a dark face and doesn't say a word, Zhao Wuyou standing aside is not as cynical as usual, the situation seems to have fallen into a peaceful and embarrassing situation.
The most embarrassing thing was Xiao Dezi, he half bent his body, handed the imperial decree slightly forward, and waited for Mu Baili to reach out to receive it.But Mu Baili stood there motionless and didn't speak, Xiao Dezi didn't know whether to take back the imperial edict or hand it over to Mu Baili?
After a long time, Xiao Dezi's body was almost stiff, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Master Qiantui, do you accept this edict or not?"
Mu Baili's gaze fell on Zhao Wuyou's body icily, and his originally gentle eyes became sharp like a blade in an instant.Hearing Xiao Dezi's voice, he closed his eyes, lowered his head and sneered, "My minister, accept the order!"
Zhao Wuyou frowned in horror.
She watched intently as Mu Baili reached out to accept the imperial decree, then a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she just stared at Zhao Wuyou coldly.He seemed to want to see through her, but she didn't express her emotions easily, so it was impossible for him to see clearly the turmoil in her heart at the moment.
Xiao Dezi was relieved, "Since Lord Chitose has accepted the imperial decree, I hope that Lord Chitose will make preparations early. The emperor has decided to prepare a dowry for Miss Xuelan. When the time comes, Lord Chitose's marriage will definitely be beautiful."
Mu Baili almost gritted his teeth, "Then I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness, I will definitely do what the emperor wishes." But when he said this, he kept staring at Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuyou slightly turned his head away, he didn't want to say anything more, and it would be useless to talk too much when it comes to this.
"Slave, go and report to the emperor!" Xiao Dezi saluted, then walked out, Zhao Wuyou paused, and then followed closely behind.
Unexpectedly, Mu Baili turned cold behind him, and shouted, "Master Zhao, please stay."
Zhao Wuyou stopped in his tracks, only feeling suffocated.
Xiao Dezi glanced back at Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou smiled nonchalantly, "Eunuch De returns to the palace first, lest the emperor worry about it!"
"Yes!" Xiao Dezi was a little worried, but this was Dongchang after all, and Zhao Wuyou's identity could not tolerate Mu Baili's reckless actions.Thinking of this, Xiao Dezi had no choice but to leave Dongchang first.
When going out, Yunzheng failed to see her young master come out, and immediately understood that Zhao Wuyou was detained by Mu Baili.
"Elder-in-law, my son—" Yunzheng showed a look of embarrassment.
Xiao Dezi sighed lightly and got into the carriage, "It's okay, Master Qiantui probably left Mr. Zhao to catch up on the old days, and Miss Yunzheng is waiting outside. The miscellaneous family is going back to the palace to return to their orders."
Yunzheng was taken aback, "Return to the palace and return to life? Dare I ask my father-in-law, has Lord Qiantui accepted the imperial edict?"
"Of course." Xiao Dezi said, "Otherwise, how could the miscellaneous families walk out of the gate of the East Factory?" After a pause, Xiao Dezi seemed to have thought of something, "Why does Miss Yunzheng ask like this? Miss Yunzheng thinks that Lord Qiantose Impossible to agree to this marriage?"
"I don't dare!" Yunzheng bowed her head, "I just think that such a proud and arrogant person as Lord Qiantui shouldn't look at this worldly vulgar fan."
Xiao Dezi chuckled twice, "That's natural. This girl from Xuelan looks like a fairy, and she is naturally not an ordinary vulgar fan who can be compared." The woman who can bring Mu Baili back to the capital from Pinglin City is naturally Can not be underestimated.
Yunzheng didn't dare to say anything more, so as not to make too many mistakes, she could only watch helplessly as the palace team drove away.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time you have entered Dongchang." Xi Mo was not too worried, "Young master will be fine."
Yunzheng stared fixedly at the majestic Dongchang gate, her eyes darkened.
The son is still inside, and he doesn't know what happened.
Of course, Mu Baili would not do anything to Zhao Wuyou, after all, Zhao Wuyou is the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the prince's junior teacher, even this sudden gift of marriage was because the emperor wanted to please Zhao Wuyou.A king can't apologize for doing something wrong. He has no choice but to start from sideways.
As a result, Mu Baili suffered a blow.
Tightening her wrist, Mu Baili had already grasped Zhao Wuyou's wrist with a heavy force, as if she wanted to crush her wrist.The pain made Zhao Wuyou gasp, turned his head in shock, and stared at Mu Baili in front of him with cold eyes.
"Master Chitose is blaming me for not congratulating you on the spot for getting what you wish?" Zhao Wuyou gritted his teeth and shouted.She wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly, and it hurt too much.
Mu Baili was full of hostility, and the doors and windows were closed tightly in his sleeves.The next moment, he pushed her up against the pillar.His fingertips, now glowing with scorching temperature, had pinched her delicate jaw, forcing her to look at him, and shouted her name in a low voice. "Zhao Wuyou!"
Zhao Wuyou had a stiff face, "Mu Baili, what else do you want? The emperor has decreed that now you can spend the rest of your life with your little beauty. I wish the Lord Qiansui and his wife grow old together, and raise their eyebrows together."
"You really think so?" He asked, his tone became weak, with a sense of frustration.
Zhao Wuyou opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.How should I start?How should I say it?She didn't know how to speak.
Letting out a long breath, Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes and smiled a bit awkwardly, lightly brushed away his hand, and slowly broke away from his restraint.He didn't stop her, but suddenly felt weak, watching her walk out of his sight.
Zhao Wuyou stood in the center of the hall with his back turned to him.
"Mu Baili, I know what you want to say, don't you just rely on me to like you? But Mu Baili, I know what I'm doing, and you know what you want even more." She looked back at him, "So your life and mine are contradictory. They seem to be the same, but they are actually opposite. What you want is the same as what I want, nothing more than power and status."
She narrowed her eyes, "So we are destined to be enemies. Although you know that I am a daughter, I don't mind that you are a eunuch, but I can't do what Xuelan can do. The emperor suddenly made this decision. It doesn't matter, if you think it's my idea, then so be it!"
After saying these words, Zhao Wuyou felt a little more uncomfortable in her heart. She lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, then looked up at Mu Baili who was silent and had sharp eyes.
He kept staring at her, without too many emotional fluctuations on his thick and colorful face, and in those cold pupils, there was only the dark night and her shadow.
"Disappointed?" she asked.Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, that's the end of the story, what should be said and what should not be said, will be settled from today. Mu Baili, happy wedding!"
After saying that, she quickly walked towards the door.
"Zhao Wuyou!" Mu Baili finally spoke.
Standing back to back, no one can see each other's expressions clearly.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Mu Baili said, "You are so afraid of being found out, are you with me?"
She frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Since when have I been with you? Don't forget, you are Jiuqian from Dongchang, and I am the only son of the prime minister's mansion. You and I are enemies from the beginning. "
"With such a clear mind, it's no wonder this illness has never recovered." Mu Baili turned around coldly.Finally met each other, finally stood face to face, he stopped his hand, "Come here."
Zhao Wuyou took a step back, "I will never go there again."
He narrowed his dangerous eyes, and said with a heavy tone, "Come here."
She took another step back, "I don't!"
"Zhao Wuyou, what exactly do you want?" Mu Baili looked at her helplessly.
Zhao Wuyou didn't know what she was thinking, the moment she saw him accept the imperial decree, the first reaction in her mind was that night, he was dressed in bright red and happy clothes.The tip of the nose was slightly acidic, the eye sockets were slightly moist, Zhao Wuyou frowned again.
There would never be a time like that again, she thought.
It turns out that many things will pass quickly, but they will never return to the past.So be it!It seems that this is the only way to go!From their origin, it was doomed to be such a result.
"I don't want to do anything." She choked up for a moment, then tried her best to adjust her emotions and put on a nonchalant posture.But for some reason, the position under the left shoulder felt like a big rock was pressing on it, and it hurt so badly.
He could hear her nasal voice, but on her pale face, there were no excessive emotional fluctuations.She is always so suspicious, unpredictable and incomprehensible.
The next moment, Zhao Wuyou was greeted by his warm embrace, "Since you don't want to leave, it's the same for me to come here. Zhao Wuyou, do you know that sometimes I really want to strangle you to death?"
She smiled coldly, "For your Gu, you'd better show mercy."
"Do you really think that the Gu on your body is so important? If I can't get it, I can kill you and destroy it, and then no one will get it." He bit her earlobe and whispered, "You Say you like me."
She froze for a moment, then remained silent.
"Say it again." He said in a low voice.
Zhao Wuyou was hugged in his arms, emotional and rational being torn apart.She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist, responding to his hug, but she had said everything clearly, and there was really no need to continue entanglement.She is Zhao Wuyou, and her father is Prime Minister Zhao Song.
Before his father left, he said that she must be allowed to guard the prime minister's mansion, and Dongchang must not be allowed to rule alone and hold the power of the world.She was also afraid, afraid that if she continued to encourage the expansion of Dongchang's power, if she was not sure that Dongchang would "suspend to death" at the final stage, then it would be her prime minister's mansion and her nine clans of the Zhao family who would die.
She didn't dare to take risks, so many lives were tied to her body!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly pushed Mu Baili away, and looked directly at Mu Baili in front of him with a cold gaze.How could the eunuch have feelings?Eunuchs are the coldest cold-blooded animals in the world, all of their existence is just to suck blood.
So she can't be blinded by the tenderness in front of her eyes, she has to stay awake.
Even though she does not deny that she likes Mu Baili, she cannot ignore the threat from Dongchang.She didn't believe that Mu Baili would treat her sincerely, all his behaviors were just seduction step by step, gradually weaving a dangerous trap for her.
If she gets caught in it, she will be lost forever.
Mu Baili was slightly taken aback, when he saw that the defensiveness in her eyes gradually replaced the initial tenderness, he knew that he had never really been able to get into her heart.She always maintains the most vigilant guard against everything around her.
He lost again.
Losing to the same person is extremely unreconciled.
"Congratulations to Lord Qiantui for embracing the beauty, I should go too." Zhao Wuyou was indifferent and alienated, trying to keep a distance from him, as if the person who said he liked just now was not her.She turned her face so fast that he was caught off guard.
She almost ran out of the door, so surprised that Lu Guoan outside quickly stopped Shen Yan, and then pressed Shen Yan to a secluded place.
When Mu Baili chased him out, Zhao Wuyou had already reached the steps, but Mu Baili still held his hand.His scorching palm was wrapped around her icy cold hand, just like before, he held it tightly and never let go.
The four eyes are facing each other, so many words are not in the middle.
When Xue Lan came over, she stood there in a daze for a long time without recovering.She heard people from the palace coming over, and wanted to come over to see what happened, but who knew that she saw Mu Baili holding Zhao Wuyou's hand tightly.
There was a buzzing sound in her mind, and she suddenly understood why her brother Ran Heng didn't like her. It turned out that brother Ran Heng had changed his mind and no longer liked women.Could it be that because he became a eunuch, his emotions also changed, and his hobbies were no longer the same?
Xue Lan's mind was in a mess, and she turned her head to look at Lu Guoan and Shen Yan who stood aside and didn't know what to say.It's not appropriate to say anything at this time, look at the two people holding hands in the yard, everything is obvious, is there any need to say it?
Besides, if the two people in the yard were startled, no one would be able to eat and walk around.
"Let go!" Zhao Wuyou only felt his face burning hot.
Mu Baili looked at her steadfastly, with a solemn expression, "I'm gone this time, so I won't come again!"
"Don't come again!" She said meaningfully.
He nodded and finally withdrew his hand, but she forgot to leave and just stood there looking at him.He looked at her with a quiet helplessness that she didn't understand.Sometimes Zhao Wuyou thinks about each other carefully, and the current relationship seems to be described as helpless.
She didn't know his thoughts, and she didn't dare to admit her own thoughts.
So the two who are too smart have been using the way of guessing and guessing, attracting each other and guarding against each other, never crossing the last soul defense.
Mu Baili let go, and Zhao Wuyou never looked back.Mingming was very angry, holding a breath in his heart, but didn't know what to say.They are clearly not people who are afraid, but who knows that there are situations where words come to their lips but cannot be said.
He watched her go and didn't hold her back.
It was her sentence in my mind, don't do it again.
He thought about it, how many times had she said that?But every time he couldn't hold back, and she didn't drive him away again.Speaking of it, no one's promises count, so what the two of them said has never been credible, and whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
When Mu Baili turned his head, he happened to see the pale Xue Lan.
She stared at him in disbelief, and Yue Mo also felt that it was an unforgivable thing for him to like a "man".As a eunuch, you are still restless, and you still have to flirt with men, which is indeed a ridiculous thing in the world.
Mu Baili withdrew his gaze, and returned to the main hall unhurriedly. Looking at the bright yellow imperial decree on the table, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Lu Guoan took a deep breath and cautiously stepped forward to salute, "Master, are you alright?"
"The imperial decree has been issued." Mu Baili breathed a sigh of relief, "Get ready!"
When Xiao Dezi read out the imperial decree, Lu Guoan and Shen Yan were kneeling outside the door. Hearing what Mu Baili said, they were stunned.The two looked at each other, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Master, do you—really want to get married?"
Mu Baili closed his eyes and didn't make a sound.
Lu Guoan didn't dare to say anything, so he lightly pushed Shen Yan, and the two saluted and quickly retreated.Since it was the order of Lord Chitose, the two of them followed suit.There is still an imperial decree on the top, who dares to say more.
When Xue Lan came in, there were tears on her face, "I finally know why my brother punished me for Zhao Wuyou. Now, I understand one thing. It turns out that people's hearts really change. My brother fell in love with a man." , I like Zhao Wuyou."
Hearing this, Mu Baili looked back at her coldly, "And then?"
"Then my brother is still my brother, and I won't change it." Xue Lan smiled and shed tears, "If you said it earlier, maybe many things could have been avoided. I know that my brother is now nine thousand years old, with a high position and authority, and many things are It shouldn't be said. But brother, if you like it, you should stick to it, right? I traveled all the way from Beijiang to Daye for this unwarranted promise."
She raised her hand to wipe her tears, but she didn't know that the tears were more and more, "I will like whatever my brother likes. I will support whatever my brother wants. Even though many things no longer belong to me, just treat me like I am still in a dream." Just wishful thinking!"
After finishing speaking, Xue Lan looked at the imperial decree on the table, "Zhao Wuyou—what's the good? Is it just because he is smarter than me and more worthy of my brother? Or is it that what brother needs is the power behind him?" , instead of Zhao Wuyou?"
"Xue Lan, you ask too many questions." Mu Baili walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
"I don't ask too many questions, I just want to give myself an explanation." She looked at his back, "Brother, I have the right to know, after all, my name has appeared on the emperor's imperial decree, which you cannot escape Fact. Does brother really like Zhao Wuyou?"
Mu Baili sneered, "How do you like it? So what if you don't like it? Who dares to comment on this matter?"
"That's liking." Xue Lan raised her head slightly, as if trying to force tears back into her eyes.Then, she reported, "Don't worry, I know what I should do. The children of Beijiang are not hypocritical people. Since my brother has his own heart, Xue Lan should bless him."
She walked past Mu Baili with a bleak smile on her pale face.
Mu Baili did not refute or affirm.
like?
Zhao Wuyou said that she liked him.
What about him?
He never seemed to express anything like that, so what was his feeling for her?
Xue Lan looked back in tears, but she never waited for Mu Baili to persuade her to stay, nor did she wait for a moment of hesitation.It turns out that liking is true, and disliking is also true.
Suddenly, a black shadow blocked Xue Lan's way.
