After the first fool

Chapter 144 The Incident
Xiao Zhu stood there anxiously, looking up at the movement in Fengqi Palace from time to time, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what should we do now?" Since Li Quan was waiting outside, then inside...

She couldn't help shivering, and had a faint illusion that the sky was about to fall.

The place where the four of them were standing was rather hidden, with a big tree as a cover, Mo Xiaoran's eyes never showed any panic, and she looked determined, "What are you afraid of? You will die sooner or later."

However, she was really curious, normally no one would come to her Fengqi Palace, why was it so lively this morning?
Turning her mind, she looked at Bai Qingluo, who was indifferent and worried: "You go first, I can handle it myself."

Bai Qingluo frowned slightly. For a moment, she wanted to go in with her and face the ups and downs with her, but Mo Xiaoran seemed to see through his thoughts, and before he could say a word, she fell silent. Open the mouth: "I can solve it myself!"

Every time he entered the palace, he would do so secretly, presumably because he didn't want the people in the palace to find out, and in that case, she wouldn't force him, not to mention, this day would eventually come.

Bai Qingluo's dark eyes met her firm eyes, her lips twitched a few times, and finally sighed and compromised: "Qingfeng will stay by your side, if there is any accident, he will notify me in time."

Mo Xiaoran nodded, watched his figure fly away from the high wall of the palace, and then let out a breath of foul air. To be honest, I was really not disturbed. It was a lie. She clearly made all the preparations before leaving , how could it happen suddenly?But now is obviously not the time to investigate the reason, so she took a deep breath, straightened her face, and with a smile on her face, she led Xiaozhu and walked slowly towards Fengqi Palace.

The pace is a little leisurely, as if you are enjoying the garden, and you can't see the slightest anxiety or tension.

"Miss," Xiao Zhu followed behind her anxiously, rubbing his clothes with his small hands, his expression slightly flustered.

Mo Xiaoran smiled at her calmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm responsible for everything, the sky is falling, I'll support you."

Maybe it was the certainty in her words, maybe it was because her expression was too calm at the moment, Xiao Zhu's uneasiness seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

The two master and servant walked slowly along the cobblestone path outside Fengqi Palace. Qingfeng kicked his feet on the ground, jumped up into the air, jumped onto the high wall, and watched them from a distance.

Seeing Mo Xiaoran walking quietly, Li Quan let out a heavy breath, and hastily greeted him: "Empress, you are back." That expression seemed to have seen the savior, and Mo Xiaoran frowned slightly, "What, Li Eunuch has been here waiting for me for a long time?"

She tentatively said that she didn't know if he came in the morning or yesterday.

The time of arrival is different, and the natural coping method is also different.

If it had come in the morning, Mo Xiaoran would have been unable to sleep in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, to the point of going to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, but if she had found out that she was not in the palace yesterday...

Mo Xiaoran's eyebrows frowned, if that was the case, she probably would really suffer.

Li Quan gave a call and pointed to the majestic palace. The voice of a male duck rang in Mo Xiaoran's ears: "The emperor has been waiting for the empress in the palace for a long time since yesterday afternoon, even today's morning court."

Xiaozhu's face changed suddenly, his little face was almost pale, his body trembled slightly, yesterday afternoon?Didn't you find out that the lady didn't return to the palace all day and night?

Mo Xiaoran's heart also creaked, and she sank to the bottom of the valley, her brows slightly raised, and she mechanically pulled the corners of her mouth, "Really?"

The tone was a bit dry, no wonder she had that weird dream last night, it turned out to be a sign.

Swallowing quietly, she smiled gratefully at Li Quan: "Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your suggestion."

"This is a slave's business." Li Quan smiled formulaically, then stepped aside, "Your Majesty, please."

Mo Xiaoran's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark light flickered in her eyes. It seemed that today's battle was really difficult.

She straightened her back, dressed in a crescent-white robe, and walked towards Fengqi Palace, passing by the peach blossom forest that had just grown green branches, and walking along a cobblestone path, every step was slow And calm, with a calm expression, there is no sense of imminent disaster at all, but a kind of tranquility.

Xiao Zhu lowered her head all the time, praying to God and worshiping Buddha silently in her heart, hoping that the Buddha would bless the young lady through this catastrophe. Unfortunately, God is usually blindfolded. When Mo Xiaoran arrived outside Fengqi Palace, the carved door The red lacquered wooden door was tightly closed, and the cool wind was blowing on her face, blowing the hair on her ear temples up and down.

Mo Xiaoran raised her hand in a different way, gently closed the door, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, death sooner or later is death!do not care!She opened her eyes suddenly, and with a forceful palm, the door creaked and opened in response. The sound was like rusted iron rubbing against each other, like a magic sound ringing around her ears, like a sudden thunder in the clear sky, hitting the apex of a person's heart heavily .

In the dormitory, the room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The furnishings were the same as when she left. The eyes moved up and down. On the left and right sides of the soft couch, Bai Zixu was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and his tall body was sitting on the With a tall head, a handsome face, and a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, it makes people feel chills. On the other side, Liao Xue, who is wearing a pink gauze skirt and has a graceful figure, has an extremely gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. There was a hint of complacency hidden in his eyes.

There were two cups of warm tea on the low table in the middle of the two of them, still steaming. Mo Xiaoran stood abruptly outside the hall, her eyes piercing the air, and she locked the two of them straight and accurately.

Bai Zixu nodded slightly, his eyes were very gentle, as if he was looking at the woman he loved, with picturesque eyebrows, he gently picked up the teacup on the table, put it to his mouth, took a sip, his lips and teeth were fragrant, Then, he put it down casually, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, raised his eyes, and looked at Mo Xiaoran who had been refusing to come in for a long time. A clear voice rang out in the hall: "Queen, you woke up really early."

The corners of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, she left the palace last night and did not return, Bai Zixu knew it clearly in his heart, but he still used such words to mock her, it was really hateful enough.

However, when it comes to eloquence, she has already said that these people in front of her are not her opponents. The corners of her mouth pulled out a very shallow arc, and there was a cold light in her eyes. She smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty My younger sister doesn't get up too late, we are with each other."

That smile fell into Bai Zixu's eyes, but it was even more hateful than a devil!Obviously violating the palace rules and leaving the palace privately, but at this moment dare to put on an innocent look, damn it!Terrible!

Liao Xue's eyes flashed with joy, she said softly: "Sister, just apologize to the emperor and tell me exactly where you went last night, as long as your attitude is sincere enough, the emperor will not blame you. "She persuaded softly, as if she was thinking of Mo Xiaoran, but after listening carefully, it was not difficult to hear the allusion in the words, which was obviously adding fuel to the fire.

Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, "I have nothing to say." Up to now, what she said was wrong.

"Why did you leave the palace privately?" Bai Zixu managed to restrain the anger in his heart, and tried to make his tone more tactful and gentle, trying to give her some face. Maybe it was the several confrontations with Mo Xiaoran that Bai Zixu learned a lesson. The truth is, Mo Xiaoran is definitely a person who will take the soft and not the hard, and if she fights against her, she will be strong when she encounters the strong.

Mo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows in surprise, she thought that Bai Zixu would be so angry that he would jump up from the soft couch at this time, to be so eloquent?There must be a demon in every turn of events, so I couldn't help being on guard in my heart. If Bai Zixu knew that he chose a milder method, Mo Xiaoran would be wary instead, and I wonder if he would vomit blood.

"I was bored in the palace, so I went out for a walk." Mo Xiaoran said casually, and then asked, "Why did the emperor come to my Phoenix Palace?"

She was puzzled, why did Bai Zixu come yesterday afternoon?On weekdays, he still has to think about inviting him, but yesterday she almost walked on the front foot, and he arrived on the back foot?
"Why, can't I come to this palace of yours?" Bai Zixu asked slowly, word by word, with cold eyebrows, with a sharp questioning in his words, "The whole palace belongs to me, where do I want to go?" Just go there, do you still need to tell the queen about you?" The words paused slightly, "If I didn't tell you in advance, I came here, how would I know that the queen has such means to be able to fight against the imperial guards? Under the layer of defense, still leave the bedroom without anyone noticing? Even leave the palace!"

He slapped his palm directly on the low table, the teacup on top was rattled, his chest heaved slightly due to anger, Bai Zixu stood up suddenly from the soft couch, and walked step by step in front of Mo Xiaoran , when he was a few steps away from her, he stopped abruptly, there was no warmth in his eyes, only a raging anger and killing intent!
"I'll ask you again, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back all night?"

Mo Xiaoran frowned slightly, her mind was running quickly, trying to think of an appropriate reason.

"What? I have nothing to say?" An extremely cold smile appeared on the corner of Bai Zixu's mouth, and the two sharp rays of light from his eyes pierced Mo Xiaoran's body. He didn't understand that she was going out of the palace. He gave her a token, and she had behaved mischievously in the palace for many days, and he endured it. She didn't care about him, so he used her as a display.

He tolerated everything, compromised everywhere, and retreated everywhere.

But in the end, what did she give him in return?It's making progress again and again!
Bai Zixu was really angry, the hot air sprayed out of his rapid snorts rushed towards his face, the arms close to his side were tightened, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, he looked extremely terrifying, his eyes were as wide as copper Ling, word by word slowly said: "Is it because I indulge you too much? Make you think that this palace is a place where you can do whatever you want, eh?"

Mo Xiaoran frowned slightly, met Bai Zixu's furious gaze, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I do have something urgent to deal with when I leave the palace."

She didn't lie to him, she just concealed part of the truth.

"What's the hurry?" Bai Zixu didn't believe it at all, and asked with some doubts.

"No comment." Mo Xiaoran shook her head. It was impossible for her to tell him that in order to avenge Zi Yan, she revised the list of imperial examinations in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then went to Dali Temple to beat the drums in disguise to avenge her grievances. She was also assassinated by an assassin. It was Xuanyuan Kingdom's prince Xuanyuan Wushang who rescued her, and she didn't return all night because of taking care of him?
Although these were all facts, she didn't have to, and she wasn't going to tell Bai Zixu. There was a trace of stubbornness between her brows. She raised her head stubbornly, and smiled proudly at Bai Zixu's extremely cold eyes.

Xiaozhu hid behind Mo Xiaoran, trembling slightly, always felt that the atmosphere between the emperor and her was very scary, as if there were lightning and thunder.

They looked at each other quietly, one was stubborn and persistent, the other was burning with anger, their eyes intertwined in the air, neither of them was willing to back down a step, all of them had an aura that made people dare not look directly at them.

Faintly, Mo Xiaoran and Bai Zixu were on equal footing, forming a two-legged rivalry.
