Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 215
The conversation between Baili Zonglu and Baimei Taoist was over, when Huo Mingzhu came in, Baili Zonglu smiled at Baimei Taoist: "In Shangjing, A Jin's demeanor is well known. , this king is unexpected."

When Taoist Baimei heard this, he glanced at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu respectfully said to Baili Zonglu: "To be able to come to this Taoist temple to worship Master as a teacher is a blessing that Mingzhu cultivated in her previous life."

"Ah Jin is still able to talk as usual, but I don't know that there is only Ah Jin in this Taoist temple, will it affect Ah Jin's reputation?" Baili Zonglu always felt that Huo Mingzhu's appearance here was a thorn, He even couldn't guess why Huo Mingzhu appeared here, but he wanted to track it down all the time.

When the white-browed Taoist heard this, he was displeased, but he spoke another language: "The Ninth Prince's words are wrong. This is a Taoist temple, and there is no difference between men and women. The Taoist temple is a cultivator, and I have no distractions for a long time. , and how will it affect your reputation?"

"What the Taoist priest said is very true, it is the king who made a slip of the tongue."

Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Zonglu in surprise, Baili Zonglu would actually make such a gesture in front of Baimei Taoist, but after another thought, Baimei Taoist valued Baili Zonglu so much, he would show respect Posture is also normal.

For Huo Mingzhu, the more Baili Zonglu has doubts about her appearance in this place, the more she will find her feet again and again, so she will have more opportunities to provoke the relationship between these two people, preventing them from cooperating .

This is one of the purposes of Huo Mingzhu's willingness to risk her innocence and come to this Wuliang Taoist temple. In her previous life, this white-browed Taoist was so useful, and in this life, she will take this white-browed Taoist for her own use.

Now, there is already a gap between this white-browed Taoist and Baili Zonglu. For Huo Mingzhu, that is half done.

If you say that you have to help her today, Baili Jingqi is here.

As for why Baili Jingqi appeared in this Taoist temple, in Baili Jingqi's words, it was because Huo Mingzhu disappeared for a month without any reason, and Baili Jingqi couldn't bear it anymore. I found out that Huo Mingzhu had arrived at the Wuliang Taoist Temple, so he asked for the Queen Mother's grace, brought Cao An and Feng Wei, and came.

Compared with Baili Zonglu, Baili Jingqi's arrival was only two days later.

"Ah Jin, so you are really here." Baili Jingqi had a cheerful look on his face, but the tiredness on his face forced most of the joy away.

Huo Mingzhu hurriedly saluted: "Meet Your Highness the Prince."

"There is no need to be polite." Baili Jingqi was very excited, his eyes looked around in this Taoist temple.

Huo Mingzhu thought, if Baili Zonglu saw Baili Jingqi, he didn't know what kind of expression would appear on his face: "Why did His Royal Highness come here?"

"Ajin, when you got here, you didn't tell Gu. Gu only found out after asking General Huo. Although the journey is not far, it will take several days to go back and forth. With such a long distance, you But I never thought about how disappointed I would be if I couldn't find you in the General's Mansion alone."

After Baili Jingqi finished speaking, the accusation against Huo Mingzhu was also very obvious on his face.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was speechless for a while, this silly prince really had nothing to do with him, so he said: "If it wasn't for the eagerness to learn from the teacher, I wouldn't have come out in such a hurry."

"It's okay, I can stay here for a day, and then I can talk to Ah Jin." Baili Jingqi smiled brightly.

Huo Mingzhu suddenly thought, now that Baili Zonglu has come here, if Baili Jingqi is recommended to Baimei Taoist, then Baimei Taoist will not sway left and right. Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and pulled Baili Jingqi's The sleeve said: "His Royal Highness, can you go with Mingzhu to see Master?"

"A Jin's master?" Baili Jingqi asked.

"Yes."

"That is to see." Baili Jingqi said with a smile.

Because Baili Jingqi only brought a few guards and a close-knit eunuch, he said that he was looking for Huo Mingzhu when he arrived, so there was not much commotion in the Taoist temple.

Compared with when Baili Zonglu came, it can be said to be calm and calm, so when Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi appeared in the room of Baimei Taoist, Baili Zonglu still didn't know.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu directly pushed the current crown prince in front of him, Taoist Baimei felt that there was no need for him to believe in Baili Zonglu.

Huo Mingzhu naturally understood the change of Taoist Baimei, but it was not enough.

In this world, if Huo Mingzhu is a person who knows a lot about Bailizong law, no one can surpass Huo Mingzhu. Therefore, Huo Mingzhu knows that if the possibility is not completely lost, the Bailizong law is not May be let go.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu knew that this alone was not enough to completely lose Baili Zonglu as a pawn.So she waits for her chance.

I just didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

When Baili Zonglu got a reply from Taoist Baimei, saying that he had no intention of entering the palace, the respect for Taoist Baimei disappeared from his face.

"Could it be that the Daoist doesn't trust me?" Although Baili Zonglu didn't lose his temper, his tone gradually became a little bit colder.

How could Taoist Baimei not see it, but there are two paths in front of him, believe in Huo Mingzhu or believe in Baili Zonglu, one is the girl's house.

At the beginning, he couldn't understand what Huo Mingzhu really wanted, but when the prince appeared later, he knew that it must be to help the prince stabilize the country, so that she could become a queen empress under one person and above ten thousand. Such pursuits are understandable.

If you believe in Baili Zonglu, then you are seeking skin from a tiger. Baili Zonglu dares to seek a position in the court. For a Taoist priest like him, isn't it a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

In addition, Baili Zonglu didn't look down on his Taoism as a Taoist at all, and thought it was something evil, so why should he cooperate with him? Therefore, Baimei Taoist directly denied Baili Zonglu's side way out.

It's just that if you deny it, you can't offend the Ninth Prince, so the white-browed Taoist said with a smile: "The Ninth Prince's words are wrong, but this time it's not that I don't trust you, but that I am a cultivator. A person must have no desires, no desires, and no involvement with worldly affairs, so that he can achieve great results."

Doesn't Baili Zonglu know that this white-browed Taoist is perfunctory, and if he really doesn't want to be entangled by worldly things, how can he think about it when he says that he can help him become a national teacher? .

Thinking of Baili Jingqi's visit to the Taoist temple, even though it was to meet Huo Mingzhu, with Baili Zonglu's cautious attitude, he couldn't help but think otherwise.

So, he withdrew his smile: "So, it would be unreasonable for me to force you any more. It's just a Taoist priest. If you get tied up with worldly things in the future, you can't stop me from thinking about it."

"Ninth Prince, you can rest assured." The white-browed Taoist swung the whisk in his hand and promised.

Huo Mingzhu brought tea, and after hearing such words, she had a solution in her mind.

That night, Huo Mingzhu put on a black dress, covered her face, took advantage of the darkness, and plundered directly towards the room of the white-browed Taoist.

After blowing the incense on the window of Taoist Baimei and entering, she waited for a while.

Huo Mingzhu's lightness kung fu is superb, she jumped up lightly, and then landed on the roof safely, Huo Mingzhu deliberately took away the tiles above the white-browed Taoist's bed, then threw a small object down, and then performed lightness kung fu , leave quickly.

Immediately, she purposely wandered around outside each wing room, so that some little Taoist priests could see the shadows passing by.

After returning to the room, Huo Mingzhu quickly changed her clothes and got into the bed. It was like this tonight. She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, as usual, Huo Mingzhu brought breakfast to Taoist Baimei. As soon as he entered the door, Huo Mingzhu asked suspiciously: "Master, why do you look so ugly?"

Taoist Baimei woke up and felt uncomfortable. Now, when Huo Mingzhu said this, he felt even more unhappy, so he said: "It stands to reason that I slept soundly yesterday, why are you still so unhappy?"

"Did you sleep?" Huo Mingzhu frowned, looking puzzled, but didn't say much, after putting down the breakfast in her hand, she continued: "Master, here is the breakfast, if you finish it, Mingzhu will come tidy."

Taoist Baimei nodded, and Huo Mingzhu went out with the tray.

Taoist Baimei always felt that something was wrong, something was wrong in this room, so he looked around, and this look made him see something in a hidden corner on his bed.

So he walked over and picked up the thing. After seeing it, he felt puzzled, why there was such a small box on his bed, the size of his thumb.

After looking carefully, he felt that the box seemed to have a mechanism to open it, so he stretched out his hand to open the box, and there was a smell inside, and the Taoist with white eyebrows smelled it, his face changed, it turned out to be the soul of Xie San?

So, he went outside and asked someone to call Huo Mingzhu in.

As soon as Huo Mingzhu saw the white-browed Taoist holding the thing, she knew that the white-browed Taoist had found what she threw in, but her face remained the same as usual: "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Mingzhu, you think Master's complexion is not good?" Taoist Baimei asked.

"Yes, Master, your face is blue and your eyes are heavy. If you didn't know that Master had rested early yesterday, Mingzhu would have thought that Master had stayed up all night making alchemy again." Huo Mingzhu said seriously.

The white-browed Taoist frowned, and immediately showed Huo Mingzhu what he was holding.

Huo Mingzhu saw it, and hurriedly called out: "Master, why do you have this thing?"

Seeing Huo Mingzhu's reaction, Taoist Baimei asked, "Do you know this thing?"

Huo Mingzhu nodded: "Mingzhu grew up in a border city. On the day she returned to Beijing, she met a villain. It was the Ninth Prince who helped Mingzhu repel the villain. Otherwise, Mingzhu's life would be lost. The hidden weapon used to repel the villains that day."

"Hidden weapon?" Taoist Baimei frowned. How could this thing be Baili Zonglu's hidden weapon? It was just a box with poison inside.

"Yes, Mingzhu saw it with her own eyes, the prince threw this object and knocked out all the assassins." Huo Mingzhu gestured twice, as if Baili Zonglu looked like that at that time.

"This thing is just a box, how can it be a hidden weapon?" Taoist Baimei asked with a frown.

"Mingzhu doesn't know, it was too chaotic that day, and the Ninth Prince happened to pass by there to save me. Master, why do you have this thing?" Huo Mingzhu looked at the white-browed Taoist suspiciously.

The white-browed Taoist said: "I got it by accident, that's enough, I've finished asking what I want to ask, and also, don't tell the prince about this thing appearing here, do you know?"

"Yes, Mingzhu knows."

"Well, go out when you know."

Huo Mingzhu went out, and before she left, she glanced at Taoist Baimei, seeing the thoughtful expression on Taoist Baimei's face, she already knew that Taoist Baimei had already followed her way.

How could Huo Mingzhu not know what this soul-removing powder is? This thing is made from thousands of kinds of Gu poison. The soul of the person will be hooked away, whether it is life or death, there is an idea of ​​the practitioner.

After Huo Mingzhu left, Taoist Baimei set his eyes on the small box in his hand.

If it wasn't for Huo Mingzhu thinking that his complexion was not good, and he happened to find this box, but he would not have known that someone would use such a method to take his life.

Fortunately, Huo Mingzhu knew that this thing belonged to Baili Zonglu, otherwise, he would not know who would take his life!
Thinking of this, Taoist Baimei's eyes flickered.
