After the first fool

Chapter 173 Recognize the relatives?

After the morning court, Bai Mo originally wanted to have a private conversation with Bai Zixu, asking him to withdraw the punishment of Prime Minister Mo Qing, but it was a pity that before he reached the imperial study, he bumped into Nanny Gui rushing over, with sharp eyebrows Slightly frowning, "Nurse is not serving the Queen Mother, why come here in such a hurry?"

"My maidservant has seen the King Regent," Nanny Gui wiped the sweat from her forehead, bowed and saluted, "Go back to the Prince Regent, it's the Empress Dowager and King Qing who want to see the Emperor, let this maidservant come to inform me."

The emperor entered the palace?
Bai Mo's eyes sank slightly, no wonder...

There was a slightly bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, I'm afraid that the emperor's uncle had the same purpose as him this time, right?

For the sake of the emperor's wife, did the emperor's uncle not hesitate to appear in front of everyone again?

There was a slight pain at the tip of my heart, and an indescribable feeling filled my chest, like jealousy, sadness, and joy.

With the emperor's uncle escorting the emperor's wife, this time, I am afraid that the prime minister will really escape safely.

The eyes flickered a few times, and Bai Mo said: "This king may not have seen the emperor's uncle for a long time, so let's go there with the emperor's brother."

If Mo Xiaoran was here, she would definitely complain about Bai Mo's ability to open his eyes and tell lies. Last night, he had a big drunk with Bai Qingluo, what about now?You won't blush when you lie?

"Yes." Nanny Gui dared to stop her?Immediately entered the imperial study and told Bai Zixu about the matter.

"Uncle Emperor?" Bai Zixu was obviously stunned. In his dusty memory, he finally found out the existence of Bai Qingluo. The once extremely popular dignitary, who had retired for many years, appeared at this time?
Glancing at the tall and slender white ink waiting outside the imperial study room, a shadow of prey flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that he was the one who took out his father's token at the Meridian Gate a few days ago?

Bai Zixu's heart creaked, and he had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, his handsome face was ashen, so cold that he could wring out water.

"Your Majesty?" Nanny Gui called out urgingly, after all, that person's identity...

Bai Zixu's eyes flickered, and the coldness on his face faded away in an instant. The corner of his mouth curved into a gentle smile, and he got up from the dragon table with a flick of his sleeve, "Let's go, drive to the Palace of Compassion."

"Cover!" Nanny Gui responded loudly, followed behind Bai Zixu, and said loudly: "The emperor gets up--"

"My brother has seen the emperor." Bai Mo saw Bai Zixu coming out, clasped his fists and saluted, even though he was thrown into prison for several days, Bai Mo's respect and loyalty were never seen.

He will never forget that the young man in dragon robe in front of him is his most respected elder brother, and also the king whom he swore to be loyal to for the rest of his life!

Surrounded by the palace people, Long Huo drove slowly towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and Bai Mo followed behind in a sedan chair, bowing his head in silence.

The majestic and majestic palace, the plaque hanging on the hanging beam, is engraved with the big characters of the dragon and the snake - Compassionate Palace.

The solemn aura rushing towards them gave people the illusion of being stuffy. Outside the Palace of Mercy Ning, the imperial guards knelt on the ground in unison. Bai Zixu, supported by Li Quan and Nanny Gui, walked Xialong chased, Bai Moluo followed behind him half a step, and the two brothers stepped into the hall one by one.

"My son has seen the queen mother." Bai Zixu walked to the center of the hall, clasped his fists in salute, but from the corner of his eye he kept secretly looking at Bai Qingluo, who was holding a teacup, with a restrained aura and indifference like ice, but unexpectedly, his eyes turned away from him The coming eyes met, those deep eyes, like black holes, made Bai Zixu's heart tremble slightly, and he felt a cold current run up his back when he looked at this person!It was like being stared at by a ferocious beast.

The atmosphere in the Palace of Compassion and Ning suddenly became solemn, everyone was watching the uncle and nephew who were looking at each other from across the sky, one was gentle and elegant, the other was cold and dangerous.

Bai Qingluo glanced around Bai Zixu unhurriedly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he reached out and put the teacup in his hand on the low table, and said indifferently: "Zixu, you and I have been together for four years. Haven't seen you for a year?"

Bai Zixu forced himself to look away from him, not daring to look directly at those eyes that seemed to suck his soul away, and lowered his eyes, "Yes."

This is the Qing Wang who once ruled the world?This is the youngest brother of the father?Is it your own uncle?
When Bai Qingluo was still in the court, Bai Zixu was just the fourth prince who went to the study. Later, when he was promoted to the crown prince, Bai Qingluo had already retired, so that his memory of Bai Qingluo, the emperor's uncle, was not deep. It's very vague. After he ascended the throne, he focused on how to stabilize the court and bring down Bai Mo. How could he pay attention to a member of the royal family who seemed to be forgotten by the long river of history?
"Do you remember this king?" There was no warmth in Bai Qingluo's eyes, and his hoarse voice fell into Bai Zixu's ears, like a cold current, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Emperor," the queen mother saw that Bai Zixu was being suppressed by Bai Qingluo's words, and she felt a pain in her heart, and said, "Take your seat first, and the regent will also sit."

Bai Zixu knew very well that it was the Empress Dowager who found him a space, so he naturally went down the steps and sat on the left hand side of the Empress Dowager. The bright yellow clothes drew a beautiful arc in the air, and Bai Mo also sat on the white table. Qingluo looked down, the two looked at each other for a while, and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting, and there was no trace of any personal relationship between them.

"Emperor, Aijia asks you, why do you want to arrest King Qing?" The Queen Mother spoke out first, wanting to grab the attention first.

Bai Zixu was slightly taken aback, glanced at Bai Qingluo with a little anxiety, and then smiled and said: "I also don't know that the prisoner who dared to rob Mo Qing was the uncle of the emperor, and he mistakenly thought it was a person from the world, so It's just..." He defended himself without any trace, that expression, that appearance, was extremely innocent!
Zhuyue saw it in his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart, hypocrisy!

The master obviously had already taken out the token bestowed by the late emperor himself, how could the emperor not know about it?Now it's good to pick yourself out clearly enough.

A trace of satisfaction flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, then she looked at Bai Qingluo, and said with a loving smile: "My lord, you see, this is just a misunderstanding. My family thought that the prince is a thief, so they made such a bad plan."

"If my lord remembers correctly," Bai Qingluo would not be fooled by such an excuse, raised his head slightly, his brows became even colder, "On that day, this lord took out the gold medal bestowed by the emperor to show his identity. Is it possible that the emperor does not know?"

Even though his seniority is higher than Bai Zixu's, he is still only a courtier if he breaks the sky!Such arrogant and domineering questioning made Bai Zixu's gentle mask almost unstoppable. He held his five fingers on the armrest of the soft couch, tightening and loosening at times. It took all his strength to hold back the bad breath!

He still doesn't know whether this uncle is bluffing by relying on his previous achievements, or whether he has other powers in his hands. When the enemy and the enemy are unknown, he can only bear it first.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, "I really don't know about this, but the emperor revealed his identity first?" Bai Zixu asked angrily.

"Is my prince still cheating?" Zhuyue replied in a cold voice, not used to his eagerness to explain.

He's just a slave, how dare he contradict him?

Bai Zixu's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, but was abruptly fixed in place by the queen mother's slash. He took a deep breath, and explained to Bai Qingluo instead of thinking about Zhuyue's rudeness: " I'm afraid the chief supervisor didn't make it clear and misled me! Come here--"

"The servant is here." Hearing the voice in the hall, Li Quan hurried in and waited for Bai Zixu's order.

"The servant of the Ministry of Punishments made false investigations and deceived the king. He will be deprived of his official position immediately and be demoted to a sixth-rank civil servant. He will continue to work in the Ministry of Punishments and will be fined with a one-year salary to serve as an example!" Bai Zixu ordered slowly, word by word, I don't think it's wrong to put all the blame on the Minister of Punishment.

Li Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately took orders. It seemed that the emperor was going to compromise with the Qing king who suddenly returned to court.

"Your majesty really knows everything." Bai Qingluo said with a smile that was not a smile, his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see clearly.

But what he said gave Bai Zixu the illusion that he had eaten a fly, his cheeks trembled slightly, he forced a smile, hehehe twice, but didn't answer.

It's just that in his heart, he hated Bai Qingluo very much. If this person hadn't disrupted the situation, why would he have to compromise a courtier in order to appease the emperor's uncle?
"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's put this matter aside for the time being. We are all a family. Don't bring it up again in the future." The queen mother took the opportunity to smooth things over, hoping to keep Bai Qingluo in the court and help Bai Zixu. Secretly sweeping over Bai Mo who had never spoken, a trace of haze flashed in his eyes very quickly.

"If you have something to do, please play the emperor's brother and the empress dowager." Bai Mo said coldly, his tall body stood up from the rosewood chair, as motionless as a mountain, with a convincing fortitude and integrity, he looked directly at the two people above him. people.

The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback, "The Regent speaks directly if he has something to say."

What's the fun with this white ink?
"Although the prime minister is suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, the few accusations made by the courtiers and the unsubstantiated evidence are not enough to behead the prime minister." Bai Mo lowered his head and said neither humble nor overbearing. Was it to surprise Bai Zixu and the Queen Mother that Bai Mo would plead for the prime minister?
Bai Qingluo slowly twirled the teacup in his hand, with a casual expression, showing no surprise at all.

Not to mention that if the prime minister really falls, the power in the court will definitely be in turmoil, the civil officials will be leaderless, the military will take the opportunity to fight for more rights for Bai Mo, and the emperor will be forced to the point where he has nowhere to go, even for her...

There was a strange light in his deep eyes, even if it was just for her, Bai Mo would not sit idly by.

"Prince Regent, do you know what you're talking about?" Bai Zixu narrowed his eyes dangerously, and spoke slowly word by word, his eyes fell on Bai Mo's body, not letting go of his expression.

He and Mo Qing had long been at odds, obviously this time was the best time to get him off the horse, but why did he plead for Mo Qing in public?
Will there be any terrifying conspiracy in it?
Bai Zixu's thoughts kept turning, and his sharp gaze, like needles, pierced Bai Mo's body one by one, as if he wanted to see through his soul as well.

Bai Mo still stood there calmly, straightened his back, and met Bai Zixu's scrutinizing gaze without flinching, straight and calm.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother is very clear about every word I said," he smiled slightly, and the coldness on his resolute face faded, "Although the prime minister has done something wrong, even a saint, who can be innocent?" What’s more, the prime minister’s contributions to Dongyao are well known to all officials for so many years, and he is even more loyal to the emperor, and he is indeed the pillar of the country! My younger brother believes that even if the prime minister made mistakes, the merits can be worth it! Buy an official and sell Officials and dynasties have existed in all dynasties, it is really nothing, as for forming a party for personal gain, if the emperor brother is willing to give the younger brother a few days, the younger brother is willing to seek innocence for the prime minister!"

The words are powerful and undeniable.

The entire Compassion Ning Palace was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling for a moment.
