After the first fool

Chapter 240
Follow the quiet path to the Chaoyang Palace, the whole palace is isolated under the clouds, surrounded by weeds, there is not half a palace attendant inside, only the gentle sound of the wind, as if this place is just an empty palace. The palace-like, creepy.

Mo Xiaoran frowned secretly, and clenched her palms tightly. Bai Qingluo's hand was held tightly by her, and he asked in a deep voice, "If you don't want to go in, let's leave?"

"No." Mo Xiaoran stubbornly rejected his proposal, and stepped onto the stone steps outside the Chaoyang Hall. The once lush potted plants on both sides have now become dead trees, but in just over a month, this place has changed so much Soon, looking at the tightly closed carved red lacquered wooden door in front of him, there were small cracks in the red paint, as if they would fall off the door panel at any time. Looking up, you can see everywhere in the corner of the corridor. To many spider webs.

"This place is even quieter than the Fengqi Palace where I used to live." Mo Xiaoran murmured, took a deep breath, and pushed open the closed door in front of her. There was a creaking sound, and the door It opened at the sound, and a musty smell rushed towards her face. She raised her hand in an instant and covered the smell with her wide sleeves.

There are only a few pieces of extremely simple furniture left in the Chaoyang Hall. The once resplendent palace has long been in ruins. It seems that all the valuable things have been taken away. The chairs, tables, and calligraphy and paintings on the walls were also taken down. The gray walls have white marks in all directions.

Sweeping her eyes casually in the bedroom, the carpet on the floor was messy and wrinkled. One could tell at a glance that it was the trace left by someone leaving in a hurry. She frowned secretly. Liao Xue was not found in the outer room. With Qingluo's palm, she walked towards the inner room, opened the hanging bead curtain, and saw inside, in the huge inner room, on a white Eight Immortals canopy bed, Liao Xue was sitting on the head of the bed with her hair disheveled, only a pair of clothes on her body. A white obscene dress, the material is extremely simple, not like the material used by concubines in the palace. She giggled, holding a white pillow in her arms, her posture was like holding a baby, and her expression was full of motherhood kindness.

Mouth opened and closed, as if to say something, Mo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows, and her heart creaked, with an ominous premonition, could this Liao Xue be crazy?
She was about to lift her feet and walk over, but she was caught off guard. Someone pulled her sleeves tightly tightly. When she looked back, she saw Bai Qingluo's expression of disapproval, "Whether you sympathize with her or want to take revenge on her, everything is fine." Your safety is the most important thing," he said after a slight pause, pointing to Liao Xue on the bed, "does she still look like a normal person? I'm afraid she has already gone crazy."

Mo Xiaoran's eyes sank, she shook her head and said, "No matter what, she is always one of the people I know best in the palace." Gently breaking away from Bai Qingluo's hand, she lifted her foot step by step slowly toward the At the head of the bed, Liao Xue, who was half sitting, walked over.

The sound of blunt footsteps echoed back and forth in the inner room, but Liao Xue kept her head lowered in the same posture, and the smile on her face didn't decrease by half because of Mo Xiaoran's arrival.

"Be good, baby. Father will come to see you later." After getting closer, Mo Xiaoran finally heard clearly what Liao Xue was muttering.

She clearly regarded the pillow in her bosom as her own child, that child who had been innocently aborted before it was born, and before it was ten months pregnant.

A trace of unbearable flashed across Qingming's eyes, and Mo Xiaoran approached Liao Xue again, staring at her deeply, one standing on the bedside, the other curled up, sitting inside with a pillow in her arms, Mo Xiaoran could even clearly understand I can see her every expression, every subtle movement.

She has studied psychology, Liao Xue is not pretending to be crazy, she is really crazy, her expression is crazy, her consciousness is upside down, and she even took a pillow as her own son!
"Liao Xue," Mo Xiaoran called softly. Fearing that she would get hurt, Bai Qingluo hurriedly dodged and floated behind her to protect her. As long as Liao Xue made any changes, he could immediately let Mo Xiaoran Ran away!

As for Liao Xue on the bed, in his eyes, he is clearly an extremely dangerous person.

"Do you remember me?" Mo Xiaoran stared at her deeply and asked slowly.

But Liao Xue's expression didn't fluctuate at all because of her question, she seemed to be trapped in her own world, and she couldn't get out no matter how the outsiders shouted and called.

Maybe, there is her, her child, or the man she loves so much in that world, others don't know, Mo Xiaoran looked at her quietly for a long time, her heart seemed to be piled up with a big stone, heavy , making her a little out of breath.

Like a most loyal knight, Bai Qingluo always guarded Mo Xiaoran's back. He examined Liao Xue who was at the bedside with piercing eyes, with scrutiny and displeasure in his eyes.

Is she really crazy?Or pretend to be crazy?
"Liao Xue, look at me." Mo Xiaoran bent down slightly and met Liao Xue's chaotic eyes. Even though she was standing in front of Liao Xue, she was never seen in her eyes.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she snatched the pillow from Liao Xue's arms into her own. The woman who was drooping her head suddenly looked up as if she had gone crazy, and there was only a hideous look on her pretty face. He rushed towards Mo Xiaoran, as if trying to find her desperately!
"Give me back! Give me back my child!" Liao Xue waved her hands, her nails, which hadn't been trimmed for a long time, looked extraordinarily slender. If she grabbed them, Mo Xiaoran might lose her appearance.

Bai Qingluo grabbed her waist and quickly stepped back. At the same time, he took away the pillow she was holding and threw it on the bed. Liao Xue's eyes also shifted, and she carefully hugged the pillow into the bed with a smile. In his arms, he reached out to touch the pillow from time to time, as if comforting an overly frightened baby.

Mo Xiaoran's eyes trembled slightly, she couldn't bear it, she tightly grabbed Bai Qingluo's clothes, and said with a little pleading: "Let's go."

The place just suffocated her.

Once upon a time, that glorious concubine Xue Gui, that woman who received endless love from Bai Zixu, would fall to such a state?

How could a woman who could even bet on the child in her womb go crazy so easily?
She almost fled from the Chaoyang Palace until she got out of the arched moon gate outside the courtyard. Mo Xiaoran showed signs of lingering fear and kept patting her chest to let her breath out. Bai Qingluo stood silently aside, looking worriedly Looking at her, "Are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine." Mo Xiaoran took a deep breath, turned around again, and looked at the palace standing quietly under the clouds. The glazed tiles kept shining in the bright sunlight. The opposite of this beautiful delicacy is the cleanliness of this temple.

Who would have imagined that just a month ago, this was the palace where the most favored concubine in the entire palace lived?
"How did she become like this?" Mo Xiaoran couldn't help asking the doubts in her heart. She had thought about how Liao Xue would live after Bai Zixu's death, whether she would live as luxuriously as before, or live extremely Lonely, but even though she thought about countless possibilities, she never thought that she was going crazy!Totally insane!
Bai Qingluo shook his head slightly, "I haven't sent anyone to investigate, but if you want to know, I will investigate immediately."

As long as it is what she wants, even if it is the stars in the sky, he will do his best to help her get it down.

"Forget it," Mo Xiaoran thought for a while, then shook her head suddenly, "Perhaps this ending is the best for her."

"Really?" Bai Qingluo asked noncommittally, left and right Liao Xue didn't have the slightest status in his eyes, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to Rang.

"Yeah, now in this palace, it's the best result for her to be crazy, immersed in her own siege, no need to be sad for the death of her lover, no need to be in grief, didn't you see? Her smile just now," With such a loving and warm smile, Mo Xiaoran sighed heavily, turned around and left without looking at the Chaoyang Palace behind her.

Before leaving the palace, she specially sent someone to inform Bai Mo, asking him to pay more attention to the few concubines left by Bai Zixu when he was still there, and pay attention to their years in the palace. What can be done for these people who have known each other.

Leaving the palace, he saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion standing at the gate of the palace. Mo Qing was dressed in a dark court dress and stood beside the carriage with a very complicated expression. When he saw Mo Xiaoran coming out, he immediately went up to greet her.

"King Qing," he bowed to Bai Qingluo first, and then forced a smile: "Ran'er has been away from Beijing for a few days, and the old minister wants to take her back to the mansion to have a good rest."

Bai Qingluo was extremely reluctant, but left the choice to Mo Xiaoran: "Will you return to the residence with me, or leave with the prime minister?"

"Let me go to the prime minister's mansion." After all, that is the home of this body. Mo Xiaoran smiled slightly at Bai Qingluo, then turned over and jumped into the carriage. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, she heard Bai Qingluo behind her. A hoarse voice came: "Be careful on the road."

She froze, returned a reassuring smile, and entered the carriage. Mo Qing saluted Bai Qingluo and was about to leave with her, but unexpectedly, Bai Qingluo stopped her.

"Does King Qing have anything else to say?" He asked suspiciously.

"Don't let her suffer in the prime minister's mansion, otherwise, even if you are her father, this king will not save you any face." Bai Qingluo warned in a deep voice, those people in the prime minister's mansion, in 16 years, are How he tortured Mo Xiaoran, he investigated clearly, how can Bai Qingluo rest assured that she will go back this time?I can only beat the prime minister a few words.

Mo Qing's face froze, he didn't expect that his daughter would be warned by Bai Qingluo when she returned home, and his face couldn't help but darken a bit: "Ran'er is my treasure, I will take good care of her, Your lord need not worry too much."

"That's good. If I know that she is not happy in the prime minister's mansion, I will personally pick her up." Bai Qingluo said in a deep voice, ignoring Mo Qing's ugly expression.

The carriage gradually drifted away while he was eager to see through it. After a while, the three Qingfeng who were in charge of arranging a hundred thousand troops also gathered outside the palace gate. Bai Qingluo immediately ordered Qingfeng to rush to the prime minister's mansion immediately to protect him in secret Mo Xiaoran, she must not be humiliated in the slightest.

No matter who it is, he will never allow her to suffer the slightest harm!

Qingfeng nodded heavily, and immediately ran away from the palace gate towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The wheels were whirling on the streets of the imperial city. Mo Xiaoran and Mo Qing were sitting opposite each other in the carriage. The curtains of the carriage were blown up and down by the wind from time to time. On her body, she felt faintly that Mo Qing seemed to have something to say to her.
