Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 71 Calm down
Bao Si's face was frosty, and Ming Gong felt so distressed. "Si'er, don't you understand? Everything I have done is for you!" Ming Gong stared at Bao Si calmly, and said emotionally every single word.

"But Your Majesty, Si'er doesn't want to ruin your sanity with a small self, and even less so selfish as to ruin the future of your Majesty and even the entire Great Zhou!" Bao Si frowned and replied solemnly.

"How do you say this? Could it be that setting up a queen whom the widow really likes means ruining the great cause, which is unforgivable? Si'er, tell the widow, is that an exaggeration?" Ming Gong put Baosi's palm in pain, his eyes down tears.

"Your Majesty, Si'er is for you. Si'er must be responsible to you and the world. Si'er knows that she came from a humble background. Once she is established, all the princes and nobles in the capital and the relatives who oppress the people will be on the verge of breaking out. If you attack the King's reforms in advance, Si'er is really afraid that everything will be ruined, and the King's painstaking efforts may be ruined." Bao Si carefully analyzed.

"Si'er, I didn't expect you to think so much. The widow already knew about your identity. You are just the adopted daughter of Baohou Baogui. However, you were married into the palace according to the standard of a Baoguo princess. So your identity is not a weakness." A slight smile emerged from the corner of Ming Gong's mouth.

"However, Si'er." Bao Si's eyes were clouded with a trace of sadness: "Your Majesty, according to the current situation, Si'er can't be so greedy."

"Si'er, why? Why do you have to refuse again and again? Well, even if you understand the righteousness, wait for the widow to overthrow the royal family in the court, and then personally hold your hand to sit on the throne of the mother of the country!" Ming Gong raised his brows, Domineeringly assured Bao Si, and then walked away.

"Your Majesty, go slowly!" Axi who had been outside hastily opened the thin curtain to greet Mingong.

"My lord, why did you reject the king?" Axi asked Baosi in a daze, staring at her big watery eyes.

Bao Si rested her chin on her hand resentfully, staring at the lotus in the pond outside the window lattice. "Could it be that you still can't forget Mr. Dutu? My lord, let me advise you, if you keep disobeying the king, you will implicate Mr. Dutu sooner or later." Axi reminded bluntly.

"No, I'm not here to dig out the son, I'm just for my heart, I just want to imagine the lotus in the pond, coming out of the mud without being stained, I really don't want to be involved in the ugly disputes in the palace, Axi, our sisters entered You have been in the palace for so long, don't you still understand? Are there so many bloody things in the palace?" Bao Si said worriedly.

"However, my lord, although you are so kind, the servants are worried that the people who are watching you in the dark will not think so. They are likely to kill you again and try every means to hit you. Have you forgotten A while ago, were there rumors circulating in the capital?" Axi pouted worriedly.

"When people move, I stay quiet, Axi, no matter how rampant the slander and framing are in the dark, we must keep calm and don't get hot-headed! This is also one of the reasons why I refuse the king's seal." Bao Si caressed Ah Xi's Liu Hai comforted him.

At dusk, the doctor Cheng Rong was drinking as a guest at the mansion of the privy envoy of Qu Tu, and brought a new news to Qu Tu. "Young Master Qutu, Your Majesty just asked me to give you an opportunity." Cheng Rong raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, staring at the gloomy Qutu.

"Why, Mr. Cheng Rong, it won't be a matter of standing up?" Qu Tu knew it well, and said with a smile on purpose.

"That's right, the only candidate in the king's mind is Concubine Jianjia. Now, there are more than 30 ministers who have persuaded the king to stand up. However, because Concubine Bao herself objects, I'm afraid this matter will become serious, so Your Majesty is very anxious and wants me to think of a way." Cheng Rong smiled.

"A Si! She really has a heart like a mirror. At this time, it is indeed not suitable to be a queen, but why does the king insist this time?" Although Qu Tu felt a little sad in his heart, he didn't express it on his mouth.

"Young Master Jutu, this is a foolishness. In order to monopolize the power, the king is just an attempt this time. He wants to make the civil and military of the whole court dare not oppose him." Cheng Rong analyzed calmly.

"But doctor, I'm really worried. The king's doing this is certainly for Si'er, but I'm afraid it's counterproductive. After all, there are so many forces in the palace who have coveted the position of the queen and prince for so many years. Once Ah Si is pushed to the forefront, I am afraid that she will be surrounded by conspiracy and slander, I am worried that there will be a huge storm against us, Si'er, she is really too dangerous now!" Jue Tu frowned.

In the middle of the night, with a cool breeze, suddenly, a cold sword edge cut through the paper window, and for a while, blood splashed and scars were everywhere.

"A Si!" Que Tu yelled as hard as he could, opened his eyes, and realized it was Nan Key Yimeng. The oriole outside the window was still screaming coldly, and Qu Tu only felt cold sweat and shivering.

"Is it Young Master Jutu?" Suddenly, a friendly call came from outside the door. "Who?" Juetu quickly put on his coat and asked loudly.

"My maidservant is Xinyue, a female official of Chaoyang Palace, and I would like to ask Mr. Jutu about something." A cheerful answer came from outside the door.

"So it's Sister Xinyue, Hu Tu is so disrespectful, please come in and tell me." Hu Tu smiled.

Feeling the fragrance blowing on her face, Xinyue with light makeup and elegant style has already stepped into the room, and bowed deeply to Qutu.

"Miss Xinyue, what's the hurry? There must be a reason for you to come so early." Qu Tu asked politely.

"Young Master Jutu, the eldest son of Baoguo, Baoshang, has just come to the capital to file a complaint, saying that something happened to Marquis Bao! Because he is your good friend, the servant did not let him enter the palace to report. Let me tell you about this first, please Seems like a good idea." Xinyue said anxiously.

"What? Baoshang? Something happened to Uncle Baohou? How is this possible?" Que Tu was stunned. He really didn't expect that a terrible murder happened a week ago in Baoguo, thousands of miles away.

In the territory of Baoguo, in front of the house of Baoshang's adoptive mother, Ji's house, was dripping with blood, and a horrific corpse was lying on the ground, attracting people to watch.

"Mother!" In the darkness, suffocating fear fell on Bao Si's head.
