Chapter 134

When Su Hailing walked into Bixiao Palace, Mu Qingchen was playing the piano.

The slender and fair fingers plucked the strings of the qin, and the ears heard it, but it was not as elegant and dusty as usual. Instead, it made people feel that the person playing the qin was restless.

"Qingchen, what's wrong?" Su Hailing pressed his hand.

Yaoqin let out a piercing mournful cry, and then fell silent.

"My heart can't calm down." Mu Qingchen leaned back, leaned into her arms, and sighed softly.

"Who upset you?" Su Hailing gently hugged him.

"No." Mu Qingchen shook his head, frowned again, and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window.

The fiery setting sun dyed the white clouds into golden red, warm and enchanting.

"Qingchen, have you ever heard who the national teacher of the Western Qin Dynasty is?" Su Hailing asked.

"National teacher?" Mu Qingchen was startled, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "The Great Qin Dynasty more than 300 years ago was an independent empire. The royal family used religion to unify the thoughts of the army and the people, and the national teacher served as a religion The supreme spiritual leader of Daqin has a detached position in Daqin, and even the emperor wants to give him three points. Every concubine in Daqin has to worship the national teacher as her teacher. It is not an exaggeration for the national teacher to control it."

"However, I heard that after the Great Qin split, the supremacy of theocracy was broken." Su Hailing said.

"That's right, the Holy Emperor destroyed the Qin Dynasty, breaking the myth of the immortal power." Mu Qingchen continued, "The remnants of the Great Qin Dynasty moved westward. After the establishment of the Western Qin Dynasty, although there is still a temple, the national teacher can no longer completely control the government. .Every emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty is working hard to reduce the power of the temple and the status of the national teacher in the hearts of the people. Until the past hundred years, the temple of the Western Qin Dynasty has almost disappeared from the sight of outsiders."

"Destroy?" Su Hailing thought of Bai Libing's unreal beautiful face, the cold air all over his body, and the strange light shining in the purple pupil, and couldn't help but feel hairy.

This man is definitely not a puppet!
"Hailing, what's wrong?" Mu Qingchen pressed her hand with his back.

"I'm thinking of Bai Libing, the teacher of the Western Qin State that I met today." Su Hailing sighed.

"Beauty?" Mu Qingchen raised an eyebrow.

"I'm very happy to see Qingchen jealous, but it's a pity..." Su Hailing smiled wryly and shrugged, "It's lucky not to be bitten by that beauty snake!"

"Bai Libing, is it really powerful?" Mu Qingchen asked curiously.

"I don't know if he knows martial arts." Su Hailing frowned.

"You can't see it?" Mu Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, before saying after pondering for a long time, "If you can't see it, then there are only two possibilities. First, he really doesn't know martial arts, and second..."

"His martial arts are far superior to mine, so I can't tell." Su Hailing made an excuse.

"In that case... we will be in trouble at this time." Mu Qingchen said.

Su Hailing is also very helpless. Now that Mu Qingchen and Mei Junhan are both pregnant, it is not convenient to use martial arts for the time being. The only ones who can be regarded as masters in the capital are herself and Murong Zi, and the subordinates of the Wunian Sword Sect and Xuanming Palace , and against people who are stronger than them, the advantage of numbers is useless.What's more...

"By the way, Qingchen." Su Hailing thought for a while and asked again, "Did the national teachers of the former Great Qin really have powers different from ordinary people?"

"I don't know." Unexpectedly, Mu Qingchen shook his head, "After the Holy Emperor destroyed Qin, the last national teacher of Great Qin set himself on fire and burned all the temple and the classics in it. Stay. Most of what we know now is just legend."

"Legend..." Su Hailing sighed.Of course she knew that the people of this era were inherently ignorant, and it was extremely difficult to draw correct conclusions from the legends that were passed down by word of mouth and passed down from generation to generation.

"I think, meet this Bai Libing." Mu Qingchen said suddenly.

"You want to see him?" Su Hailing was taken aback, hesitant.

"Don't worry, what else can he do to me in public?" Mu Qingchen said.

"Alright." Su Hailing thought for a moment, then nodded.

Maybe Mu Qingchen can see something, Bai Libing can't hurt Dayong's Queen Feng in public.

At the same time, Dongfang Ying, who had moved to the new palace, finally calmed down under Fei Liu's costume.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Fei Liu still looked at him worriedly.

"I didn't expect... that devil would come!" Holding a cup of hot tea, Dongfang Ying stared blankly at the sunset in the sky, and muttered to herself, "I thought that when I came to Dayong, I would never see that picture again." face off.

"What are you afraid of? He is the national teacher of Xiqin, and he will go back to Xiqin after all, and he can't stay here forever." Fei Liu comforted, "Besides, didn't your majesty say it? He won't let His Highness come down to see you again in the future." Master of the State Teacher."

"But Bai Libing wants to see someone, but he doesn't need other people's permission." Dongfang Ying said.

Fei Liu couldn't help falling silent when she heard the words.

At this moment, a communication came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone here."

"Fei Liu, go and have a look." Dongfang Ying said.

"Yes." Fei Liu agreed, walked out, and came back soon, with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Ying asked curiously.

"Your Majesty sent someone to bring soothing herbs." Fei Liu said with a smile, "Her Majesty is very concerned about Her Majesty."

"So what?" Dongfang Ying pouted, showing a lack of interest.

"But His Highness and relatives are a foregone conclusion. For future plans, wouldn't it be better for His Majesty to pamper His Highness more?" Fei Liu said.

"I don't live long." Dongfang Ying said lightly, as if talking about an irrelevant person.

"Young Master Situ... Isn't he the descendant of the evil doctor? What is the mere five yin and dead veins?" Fei Liu asked anxiously.

"But why did he save me? Saved me so that I could compete with him for favor?" Dongfang Ying raised an eyebrow.

"This..." Fei Liu was at a loss for words, but said unwillingly, "You can ask Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Fei Liu, you are too naive." Dongfang Ying sneered, "I have never existed in that woman's eyes. After all, I, Dongfang Ying, is just an important pawn that maintains the false peace between the two countries. With Situ Ye's medical skills, how could he fail to see that if he wanted to be treated, he would have done so long ago."

Fei Liu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

"Fei Liu, I don't want to accept my fate." Dongfang Ying turned around and said calmly.

"No matter what, Fei Liu will accompany His Highness." Fei Liu said firmly.

This night passed while everyone was thinking about it.

The morning after the next day, Su Hailing and Mu Qingchen changed into simple palace attire, and brought Haoyue and Mu Xin to the gate of the embassy.

Seeing that it was the empress of Dayong coming in person, the soldiers of Xiqin hurriedly led the way.

"Hailing, those people's martial arts are very good." While walking, Mu Qingchen said in a volume that only Su Hailing could hear.

Su Hailing understands that Mu Qingchen said "not bad", which means that the quality of this team of sergeants is really good, maybe it is Xiqin's secret weapon?If two or three hundred people of this level started a disturbance in the capital, although the fundamentals would not be shaken, a chaos would definitely be inevitable.

However, even if it was to protect the envoys, the official path from Xiqin to Dayong had always been considered peaceful, so why did they need to send out so many good hands?Xu Chunshui was far less heavily guarded when he came last time.Is it because of Bai Libing's involvement?So whose orders did these soldiers follow?Su Hailing couldn't help frowning, and felt that Xiqin's marriage might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

When they came to the entrance of the hall, the few people who led the way retreated consciously.

Su Hailing clearly felt the dignified atmosphere inside, took a deep breath, took Mu Qingchen's hand and stepped into the door.

There was only one person standing with his back to the door in the hall, a large black robe completely covered his figure, but his waist-length long silver hair clearly showed his identity.

"Did Master Guoshi rest well last night?" Su Hailing asked with a faint smile.

"Don't dare to trouble Your Majesty to come in person, please sit down." Bai Libing's voice is neutral, which can be said to be very pleasant, but this feeling of only hearing the voice but not seeing the person even arouses people's curiosity and makes Mu Qingchen even more I want to see what kind of face this person who equates with the devil in his lover's mouth has.

Following his voice, a young man dressed as a priest in black brought up two cups of tea, and retreated lightly.

Su Hailing and Mu Qingchen glanced at each other, sat down peacefully, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup - it was expected that Bai Libing hadn't lost his mind enough to poison them to death like this.

Haoyue and Mu Xin stood behind, staring closely at Bai Libing's back.

For a moment, the hall fell into a weird silence, Su Hailing didn't speak, Mu Qingchen wouldn't take the initiative to speak, and Bai Libing, as if they didn't exist, even found it troublesome to turn around.

Finally, Su Hailing couldn't help but let out a dry cough, and said firstly: "Master National Teacher came all the way to Dayong, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that Her Majesty the Empress of our country loves the prince very much. After preparing all the necessary things, she still doesn't feel at ease. She specially sent her to come and see the prince. Don't worry about your majesty." Bai Libing chuckled and slowly turned around come.

For a moment, Su Hailing felt his heart beat a beat slower.

The last time we met was at a state banquet, and we sat far away from each other. From a close look at this moment, his facial features are very delicate, like a precious crystal artwork, as cold as moonlight, against the backdrop of silver hair and black clothes Underneath, it reveals a kind of magical beauty.

Mu Qingchen frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Su Hailing blinked and regained his composure. He stretched out his hand to hold Mu Qingchen's hand.

"Is this one the Queen Feng who has the exquisite and golden tripod in the legend?" Bai Libing looked at Mu Qingchen, and uttered a sentence with crystal clear red lips.

"This is the palace." Mu Qingchen said lightly without changing his expression.

"I have admired your name for a long time." Bai Libing slightly lowered her eyes and chuckled, "If there is a chance in the future, I would like to meet Qinglian Jiange and Wanmei Piaoxue."

Su Hailing frowned, he really knew that Mei Junhan was also in the palace.

"Is Master Guoshi also a martial artist?" Mu Qingchen asked directly.

"I don't look like it?" Bai Libing seemed slightly startled when he heard that.

Mu Qingchen didn't answer, but raised the corners of his lips.

Bai Libing picked up the teacup and took a sip without speaking, the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a while.

"In the Western Qin Dynasty, is the Master National Teacher also so low-key?" Su Hailing suddenly interjected.

"Your Majesty wants to ask, why should I hide that I am in the envoy team?" Bai Libing raised her eyebrows and asked directly.

"Then ask the national teacher to clarify my doubts!" ​​Su Hailing nodded and followed the trend.

"I just want to see His Majesty's surprised look." Bai Libing paused and said.

Su Hailing only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, want to see her surprise?What a "good" reason!He wanted to catch himself off guard!

"The national teacher seems to be very interested in our empress." Mu Qingchen chuckled, got up and walked towards him.

Su Hailing didn't stop, firstly she trusted Mu Qingchen, secondly she was sure that Bai Libing would not attack at this time.

Bai Libing quietly watched him approach, and tightened her hand holding the cup.

"If the national teacher is willing to kiss Dayong, I welcome you." Mu Qingchen walked to a place only two steps away from him before stopping.

Hearing this sentence, Bai Libing's face finally showed obvious dullness.

"What do you think of the national teacher?" Mu Qingchen continued to speak, with a calm and breezy voice.

"Are you sure Queen Feng is not joking?" Bai Libing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"How come?" Mu Qingchen smiled lightly, and looked back at Su Hailing, "Isn't it the Queen's duty to choose the Sangong Sixth Court for the Queen?"

Su Hailing suppressed a smile, pretending to be nonchalant.

It's rare to see Mu Qingchen trick someone, but...how come those words sound so sour!

"Bai Libing is the teacher of the Western Qin Dynasty." Bai Libing's face darkened, and there was a trace of anger in his tone.

Mu Qingchen sneered, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to Su Hailing.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Libing was stunned again.

He grew up in the temple since he was a child, and he believed that the selection of the national teacher was a cruel process, the winner lived and the loser died.He walked to this position on the corpse of his companion, and it is easy to grasp the psychology of the royal family and nobles.However, Dayong's Phoenix Empress... is really a bit strange. Is this how people in the world play their cards out of common sense?

Su Hailing had been observing Bai Libing's expression, until now he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Bai Libing is really the "devil" in Dongfang Ying's mouth, he is not completely flawless.

"I'm tired, so I won't keep Your Majesty and Queen Feng." Bai Libing quickly regained her composure.

"Since this is the case, I won't disturb the national teacher's rest." Su Hailing stood up, took Mu Qingchen's hand, walked a few steps, and then suddenly stopped and said, "Recently, the capital has been a bit uneasy, and there are still people who specialize in kidnapping If the handsome young man uses the blood sacrifice of evil magic, if the national teacher is fine, it is better not to go out."

A trace of shadow flashed quickly in Bai Libing's purple eyes, which was caught by Su Hailing.

It seems that the truth is about to surface!
