After the first fool

Chapter 101

Bai Zixu was blocked by Mo Xiaoran's words, and felt very aggrieved. What does it mean to just bear the title of queen?Why didn't she say that when she was domineering and misbehaving in the palace?Now when it's time for her to come forward, she just retreated?

On one side is the face of the royal family, and on the other side is his childhood sweetheart. Even though Bai Zixu is a Mingjun and the emperor, his palms and backs are full of flesh, and it hurts to cut anywhere. Only she has the right to speak.

The Empress Dowager sighed slowly, rubbing her index finger against the Buddhist beads on the wrist in the wide sleeve, "According to Ai's family, Concubine Xue should indeed be deprived of the title of Concubine by sowing discord."

Bai Zixu's heart creaked and sank to the bottom of the valley, but what about Liao Xue?I thought I was already in hell, so I managed to climb a little bit, thinking I could climb out, but was photographed again by the queen mother, with a gloomy expression and a complete disappointment.

"However..." The Queen Mother changed her tone, and her eyes blazed brightly: "For many days, the Queen has been stupid, and the seal was handed over to Concubine Xue. She has no credit, but also has hard work. She is the only one who manages the huge harem, which is also considered credit. It's worth it," the queen mother explained in a persuasive manner, "how about this, temporarily deprive Concubine Xue of her title of noble concubine, observe for a few days, and if she corrects her mistakes, then restore her rank, Huanger, what do you think?"

Bai Zixu's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "It's so good, the queen mother is smart."

As expected of a woman who climbed to the top in Gongdou, she didn't want to offend the lineage of the prime minister, nor did she want to offend the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so she came up with such a method that there was no difference between punishment and non-punishment, to appease people's hearts.

Liao Xue was so grateful that she shed tears, and bowed her knees solemnly to the Queen Mother: "My concubine thanks the Queen Mother, I will change my mind and change my past."

The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, a change of heart?It was as if she had done something heinous and bad.

"Queen, are you satisfied with Aijia's punishment?" The queen mother turned to look at Mo Xiaoran, wanting to test her meaning.

"Everything is according to the Queen Mother's order, and the concubine has no other opinions." Mo Xiaoran said, pretending to be cute, even if she said she was not satisfied, what would happen?Will the queen mother change her mind because of her words?I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will she not change, but she will be beaten up, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Liao Xue was relegated to Concubine Ping, and she was in a trance. After leaving the Palace of Compassion, her eyes were dull. Even Bai Zixu didn't even look at her for a while, so she went back to Chaoyang Palace with the help of the maid. One second, maybe you still have to show your favor, but the next second, you will fall into hell, Mo Xiaoran looked at her bleak back with cold eyes, and shook her head.

As a woman, but put her emotions on a man who is not dedicated, she is destined to suffer for a lifetime.

"Queen, do you really feel at ease after seeing Xue'er's end?" Bai Zixu walked behind Mo Xiaoran at some point, Concubine Shu and several Chang Zai left early, on the cobblestone path outside the Palace of Compassion, The two of them stood in front of each other, Bai Zixu's tall figure seemed to be plated with gold in the sunlight, and the slanted shadow shrouded Mo Xiaoran in front of him. From a distance, the two of them seemed a little close, It seems that there are only two of them in this world.

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoran withdrew her eyes, glanced at Bai Zixu behind her, and slightly pulled a sarcasm smile from the corner of her mouth: "Which eye of the emperor sees me and feels very comfortable?"

"Why haven't you been against Xue'er all this time? Are you still unhappy that she has ended up like this?" Bai Zixu felt angry in his heart, especially when he saw her nonchalant expression. , the smile like a spring breeze at the corner of his mouth, was replaced by a gloomy coldness at some point, and his whole face was so gloomy that water could almost wring out.

Mo Xiaoran coughed lightly, shook her head and said: "The emperor misunderstood, it's too late for me to feel sorry for her, how can I be happy?" She was telling the truth, and she really regretted what happened to Liao Xue today, but Looking at Bai Zixu's livid face, I'm afraid he didn't believe a word, Mo Xiaoran shrugged noncommittally, "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, the emperor loves to believe it or not."

After all, she turned around and planned to leave, she didn't want to chat with Bai Zixu here, the two of them had nothing in common.

"Wait." As soon as the footsteps moved away, Bai Zixu's low voice came from behind, and Mo Xiaoran turned her head inexplicably: "Is there any order from the emperor?" Say what you want, fart when you have something to say, twitch Pinch, is he a woman?

"I ask you, do you really have any other relationship with the Prince Regent? No personal relationship?" This question has troubled Bai Zixu for a long time. The last time he was in Fengqi Palace, he saw Bai Mo and Mo Xiaoran alone for the first time. A court lady, he would leave from the palace and send her into the palace in person, it's suspicious!
The second time was in the House of Internal Affairs, because her court lady offended Xueer and was punished with a cane. Bai Mo rescued her, suspicious!
The third time was last night, she left the table first, followed by Bai Mo, the two of them sat and drank tea in Fengqi Palace in the middle of the night, extremely suspicious!
Mo Xiaoran looked at Bai Zixu in astonishment, could it be that he was still suspecting that he had an affair with Bai Mo?After thinking about it carefully, it seems that she and Bai Mo didn't do anything that would be misleading, right? "Your Majesty, suspiciousness is a disease that must be cured!"

Leaving such a sentence behind, Mo Xiaoran turned around and left, talking to a suspicious person, she was afraid of being infected.

Bai Zixu stared dumbfounded at Mo Xiaoran who left without turning her head, and pointed her trembling fingers at her back. Although she didn't quite understand what suspiciousness was, but judging by her mocking expression just now, I'm afraid it wasn't a good thing to say, "Mo Xiaoran—"

There was a roar of anger, which startled the birds in the garden to spread their wings and fly.

"Miss," Xiaozhu looked anxiously at Bai Zixu who was still standing there, "Let's just leave like this?" Leaving the emperor alone?Judging by the emperor's appearance, I'm afraid he is very angry.

Mo Xiaoran's steps paused, "Why don't you leave? Enjoy the flowers?"

"Miss! You know that slave girl doesn't mean that." Xiao Zhu glared at her complainingly, then turned around, and Bai Zixu was no longer in the position just now, her eyes widened like a ghost, "Huh? The emperor is gone."

"Nonsense!" Mo Xiaoran laughed out loud, amused by her dumbfounded expression, "You don't think Bai Zixu will always stand there, watching us go away without moving?"

Xiaozhu didn't reply, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she really thought so, the corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, "What do you want me to say?"

Perhaps to make up for Liao Xue's dismissal of the imperial concubine title, the Empress Dowager and Bai Zixu respectively rewarded Chaoyang Hall with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels. It was demoted, but it was still promoted.

"Tell me, if one day my succession is abolished, will the Queen Mother and Bai Zixu also give me a lot of rewards?" Mo Xiaoran stood by the carved window of the bedroom and asked faintly. It was noon .

"Yes," a hoarse voice came from behind, she turned around in astonishment, and saw Bai Zixu wearing a black robe, standing quietly in the middle of the bedroom, while Xiaozhu was gone.

"Why are you here? Where's Xiaozhu?" Mo Xiaoran asked coldly, frowning clearly that she was still here just now.

Bai Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were deep and dull, like a pool of stagnant water, calm: "The breeze led her away from Fengqi Palace."

He had been here for a while, but Xiaozhu was lured away by Qingfeng's tricks, but Mo Xiaoran didn't know what he was thinking, and she didn't find him in time.

"You seem to be elusive. Coming to my Fengqi Palace is like going in and out of my own yard. It's really capable." She smiled indifferently, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved, with a slightly mocking arc, she turned around, Walking to the soft couch, he sat down slowly, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "You just said that Bai Zixu and the Queen Mother would reward me?"

If she is abolished, can she still get a reward?
"There is this rule in the palace?" Why didn't she remember?
The corners of Bai Qingluo's mouth slowly raised, and his thin lips spat lightly: "I give you a three-foot white silk."

"..." The corners of Mo Xiaoran's eyes twitched, "Are you playing tricks on me?"

"You are not stupid." The coldness on his face dissipated a lot in an instant, "Since the founding of Dongyao Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a queen to be deposed for no reason. wall, was hanged, and the nine clans were all wiped out."

Mo Xiaoran's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, "The emperor can go around to have fun, but as a woman, if she stays in the palace, after cheating, she will end up with her wife and children, and her family will be destroyed?"

Women in ancient times were really miserable. If they were placed in modern times, who would dare to say that women were wrong?If you run into her, don't sue that man for bankruptcy, and never back down!
"Since ancient times, women should regard their husbands as the sky and their sons as the most respected." Bai Qingluo's tone of course made Mo Xiaoran smile coldly, "Joke! If it were me, I would rather not marry for life than never marry." Wouldn't marry a stallion with wives."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked suspiciously: "What is a stallion?" Why did she have so many fresh words?
"You don't even understand," Mo Xiaoran muttered, "What are you doing here?"

"Has your injury healed yet?" A strange light flashed in Bai Qingluo's eyes, his tone softened a lot, and he asked warmly.

Mo Xiaoran unconsciously touched the bruised shoulder, "It's much better, thanks to your ointment."

I just don't know where he got the ability to take out the ointment specially used by the Queen Mother and Bai Zixu casually.

"That's good. Just in case, it's better to wipe it for a few more days to avoid future troubles." Hearing this, Bai Qingluo was slightly relieved. He came here this time just to make sure that her injury has improved. .

"En, I see." Mo Xiaoran nodded obediently, her eyes swept over him, "Bai Qingluo, don't you think you pay too much attention to me?"

Whether she was imprisoned that day or injured this time, he was always the first to come to comfort her, take care of her, bicker with her, and make her happy.

Why is it that a man pays so much attention to a woman?
Although Mo Xiaoran had some trust in him, she was still somewhat wary in her heart.

Bai Qingluo's eyes sank slightly, and the corners of his mouth slid into a cool arc: "And then?"

"As a man, if you want to be interested in a woman, you either have other plans, or..." He has something wrong with her.

But Mo Xiaoran didn't know why she didn't dare to ask this sentence, she could only stare at him hesitantly, she believed that he could understand what she meant.
