Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 226 Fire red, the eve of the wedding (1)
"Maybe Eunuch Cao really has wolf ambitions, but I don't know... Eunuch Cao wants to kill his subjects, what is he planning?" Baili Yunjiu did not face Xia Houyi directly, but lowered his head and stroked the scabbard of Xianbingjian.

"I also feel the same from this. Behind Cao Gui, there must be someone who is in charge." Gradually frowned, "It's just that the person who can put the eyeliner next to me must have a high status."

"A person who can even hide from the king must be one of the best in Ze Country." Baili Yunjiu suddenly covered his heart and coughed a few times, even though it was a light cough, the echo echoed in the dark In the palace hall, there was a bit of pain. Xiahouyi's deep eyes moved to his heart following the movements of Baili Yunjiu. It seemed that there was a coldness in his eyes. He only heard Baili Yunjiu say, "Your servant is here In the Wild Desolate Forest, we also met Patriarch Mu Chi Mu."

"Patriarch Mu?" Xia Houyi frowned tightly, his tone slightly surprised.

"Didn't your Majesty doubt the Mu family, so that he made Young Master Mu the accompanying judge of Young Master Xiao, so that Young Master Xiao could observe him all the way?" Baili Yunjiu's tone was also filled with surprise, "Didn't your Majesty seal the Mu Mansion on the grounds of Young Master Xiao's death because of the abundant evidence?"

Xia Houyi's eyes returned to normal, and his tone also returned to normal, "That's true."

"Since that's the case, leave the rest of the matter to the minister to investigate."

"This matter is related to Lord Ming, and it is also related to the fate of Ze Country. In addition, Lord Ming's competition is exhausting. It is better for me to investigate this matter."

"It is precisely because it concerns the subject that the subject has to investigate it himself." Baili Yunjiu seemed to have no face for Xia Houyi at all, "Besides, such things that are not known to the world have always been investigated by the King Ming's family. The reason for the investigation, not to mention the delay in the king's handling of the important affairs of the court, is also a violation of the rules set by the Taizu king. The ministers definitely dare not let the king investigate such matters. It is better for the king to wait for the news from the ministers in the palace. "

Baili Yunjiu was stroking the Moyu finger on his left thumb while talking, Xia Houyi was silent, but his eyes were constantly changing as he stared at Baili Yunjiu. Renren slowly moved his right hand to the hilt of his sword without a trace.

At this time, Xia Houyi sighed softly, "That's okay, it's good that you can't violate the rules set by the Taizu King, then this matter will be up to Lord Lao Ming. Although Ze Kingdom is now the overlord of Yaoyue, the three major Among the aristocratic families, the Bai family and the Mu family are in decline. If there is another war in Yaoyue, the power of the three major families is indispensable, but now the Mu family..."

Xia Houyi slapped the coffee table angrily, causing the candlesticks on the table to shake frequently, but Baili Yunjiu said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, wait for your servants to find out the matter before making a conclusion. It is an irreversible fact, with the current strength of Ze Kingdom, it is not difficult to find a family to replace the Mu family."

Listening to Baili Yunjiu's words, Xia Houyi shrank his eyes, as if ignoring the second half of Baili Yunjiu's words, and said: "It's hard work over there, Lord Yun, to find out the facts as soon as possible."

The sword that was supposed to be raging undercurrent seemed to be dormant in the quiet conversation between the two of them, but Tingfeng and the other three had a thin cold sweat in their hands, and the "demon monster" dormant in the darkness "It's not the case.

However, they know that this is only a temporary calm, and soon, the undercurrent will surely surge to the ground, rushing through the royal city, the entire imperial capital, and even the entire Ze Kingdom, just like the conflict outside the palace was never brought up again, but Not being mentioned does not mean that there will be no conflicts in the future.

"Your servant should do it as soon as possible." Baili Yunjiu responded calmly, and continued, "I'm actually in a hurry to see the king tonight, but I still have something important to say to the king."

"What's the matter?" Xia Houyi had a cold light in his eyes.

"My subject will marry Liuli tomorrow, I wonder if the king would like to honor her?" Speaking of Bai Liuli, Baili Yunjiu's indifferent voice seemed to have a hint of a smile.

Before Xia Houyi could answer, an eunuch came to report from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiao is waiting outside, and she has something to ask for an audience."

"In such a snowy night, why did Mrs. Xiao come here?" Xia Houyi pretended to be surprised, "Since it's an important matter, let's invite her."

The door of the hall opened, and the cold wind rushed into the hall. After Mrs. Xiao saluted in a cold voice, Xia Houyi, who had already sat behind the long table, knelt down, and said with words like resentment but ice: "My lord Although the wife's son is dead, I still hope that the king can make the decision and let Patriarch Bai and the subject's son have a ghost marriage!"

Suddenly the Hall of Mental Cultivation was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard, it seemed that what Mrs. Xiao said was shocking and suffocating, but it seemed so ridiculous that people were silent for a while.

Xia Houyi hadn't spoken yet, but Baili Yunjiu laughed softly. The laughter that echoed softly behind the mask was not loud, but it was very clear in the unusually quiet hall at this moment.

Baili Yunjiu looked away slightly at Mrs. Xiao with a gloomy expression, her tone was polite, but she could hear a deep sarcasm: "Mrs. Madam can actually joke, it is really rare, this king can't help laughing, I hope Madam Xiao will not be offended."

"My wife has seen the king, and the king is safe." Mrs. Xiao looked gloomy and cold, she did not forget to bow to Xia Houyi, and then looked at Baili Yunjiu coldly and said, "Yun Wang thought that my wife Are you joking?"

"Isn't it?" Baili Yunjiu stood up slowly, leaning on the chair, neither looking at Xia Houyi nor Mrs. Xiao, as if talking to himself, "The winner of this competition is this king. Why... Mrs. Xiao has the audacity to say that Liuli and your dead son will have a ghost marriage?"

No one expected that Baili Yunjiu, who has always been polite to others even though he seldom appeared in front of people, would say such a thing, not to mention Xia Houyi and Mrs. Xiao, it was Ting Feng San who had been by his side since childhood Everyone was shocked, the master only speaks so... poisonously when he is really angry.

"Mrs. Xiao, what do you think you are? Could it be that you think the king will go back on your word because of your selfish love?" Baili Yunjiu's sneering sneer became more and more intense. Turning around, she walked towards the ashen-faced Mrs. Xiao without haste, "or is it that Mrs. Xiao thinks that the power of the Xiao family has surpassed the power of the king, so she wants to use this as an order?" The king has changed the king's order?"

Before Baili Yunjiu could speak, Xia Houyi's face was extremely gloomy. He moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to open his mouth to say something. But it was already continuing, "If Mrs. Xiao thinks that the Xiao family is still the courtiers of Zeguo, she should go back to the mansion and cry for the funeral. Why bother yourself so much when you are old?"
