After the first fool

Chapter 34 The Regent's Palace
The master and servant sitting at the head of the round table sometimes bowed their heads to chat, sometimes cheered loudly, and sometimes served each other's dishes. The atmosphere was so warm that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and Bai Mo was sitting in an exquisite but extremely simple carriage. The groom was waving his whip and driving back to the palace from the palace. Yes, it was Bai Zixu's gentle smiling face, but extremely cold face.

His elder brother...

The resolute face was unknowingly tainted with a bit of bitterness. How long ago did the brothers who talked about everything become wary of each other and guard against each other?
Brother Prince, how do you know that as long as you say a word, I, Bai Mo, will give the power in my hands with both hands?

The carriage drove all the way, and finally stopped on Ai Qingshi Road outside the palace. Two lifelike stone lions with pearls are located on both sides of the stone steps. With majestic righteousness.

Regent House.

"My lord, you are back." The butler stood hunched over at the gate, saw Bai Mo get off the carriage, and hurried forward, "The honored guest has been waiting in the study for a long time."

Bai Mo's face remained motionless, he nodded indifferently, raised his feet and walked into the house, passed the main hall, and the servants he met along the way bowed down respectfully and saluted, that was from the heart to the owner of this mansion Worship and respect.

Pushing open the door of the study room, I saw a black figure standing by the carved window, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like stars, his face was cut like a knife, his brilliance was restrained, his whole body exuded a compelling nobility and imperceptible danger .

"Uncle Emperor." Bai Mo saluted with cupped fists.

"Are you back?" Bai Qingluo turned around, seeing the tired look on Bai Mo's eyebrows, and sighed slightly in his heart: "Meet Zixu?"

"Yes." A concise word expressed the bitterness in Bai Mo's heart.

"Have you seen Mo Xiaoran?"

"...Yes." Bai Mo paused, and finally nodded, "Uncle Huang, I don't know why you care so much about that idiot? Even if she is Mo Qing's daughter, it's not enough for Uncle Huang to care so much."

idiot?
The corners of Bai Qingluo's cool lips slowly turned up. He opened his clothes and sat casually on the rosewood chair beside the bed. On the forehead, two parts of beautiful hair fell down, naturally falling on the chest, with a dignified appearance.

"You think she's a fool too?" Bai Mo couldn't help frowning at the vague words. After thinking about it carefully, he still didn't see the possibility of Mo Xiaoran pretending to be crazy.

"Uncle, then Mo Xiaoran is indeed a fool."

"That's a fool." Bai Qingluo didn't move on the face, but secretly laughed in his heart. It seemed that the fox was quite good at pretending, and even Bai Mo couldn't see her tricks. For some reason, when he thought of her Only he could see through the disguise, and Bai Qingluo's peaceful heart was slightly rippling.

Seems satisfied, like jumping, and like joy.

"Has there been any movement from the prime minister recently?" Bai Qingluo changed the topic, without reminding Mo Xiaoran.

"Recently, Mo Qing has a very close personal relationship with Liao Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, and sometimes visits." Bai Mo has been secretly monitoring the movement of the prime minister's mansion, so naturally he did not miss the contacts between Mo Qing and Liao Xue's father.

"Zixu is going to make a big move." Bai Qingluo shook his head, his eyes were gloomy like an abyss, making it hard to see the true emotions inside, "I'm afraid he has been waiting for a long time for the day when he will take office."

"Brother Huang has always been afraid of me," Bai Mo said frivolously, and couldn't help sighing, "Nowadays, there are occasional wars on the border of Dongyao. I have brought 30 lions to the border to defend Dongyao's territory. Our military strength, but Brother Huang remains unmoved. He only wants to seize my military power. If I surrender my military power easily, there will be chaos on the frontier. At that time, Lan Yu will take the opportunity to send troops, and Dongyao will bleed like a river again. "

The world is divided into three parts. Although Dongyao has a strong army and horses, the first emperor was kind and valued literature over martial arts. If it weren't for Bai Mo's millions of soldiers to suppress the frontier, Lan Yu and Xuanyuan's iron cavalry would have smashed Dongyao to pieces!

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Qingluo smiled arrogantly, "As long as I am here, I will never let others take away my Bai family and destroy my Dongyao country!"

A light sentence, but with a determination and domineering that will destroy the world!

This is the prince who once frightened the world, Bai Qingluo.

Under his seemingly calm face, what is hidden is absolute hegemony over Dongyao!
"I'm not afraid," Bai Mo retorted, "I'm worried that the emperor's brother will be in charge, and the instability of the court will give Lan Yu and Xuanyuan the opportunity to enter."

"With me here, you can rest assured." Bai Qingluo said indifferently, and the words "I am here" made Bai Mo dispel his worries.

"Let's see, if Zixu really has the ability to be a hegemon, it's okay to hand over the military power to him." Bai Qingluo continued.

Bai Mo was taken aback, "What if Brother Huang doesn't have one?"

"No?" A sneer crept onto the corner of his mouth, "If not, the emperor can be replaced by someone else!"

"Continue to monitor the prime minister, and I will handle the border riots."

"Yes!" Bai Mo didn't dare to neglect, others may have forgotten Bai Qingluo, the prince who has long since retired, but how could he forget?
His uncle is both civil and military. If he hadn't taught him carefully, how could he have won the title of God of War?
If Bai Zixu is the king of Dongyao, then Bai Qingluo is the emperor hiding in the dark place of Dongyao country!
One light and one dark, with Bai Qingluo sitting in Dongyao, how dare other countries invade?

For five consecutive days, no outsiders came in or out of Fengqi Palace. Xiaozhu was used to life in the palace, but every time he looked at the guards guarding the high wall with swords, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart!

"What the hell is the emperor thinking? Could it be that he wants to confine the lady in this cold palace for the rest of her life?" While fiddling with the towel, she waited for Mo Xiaoran to get up, and kept talking about Bai Zixu's viciousness.

Seven days!For the past seven days, Bai Zixu has almost treated Mo Xiaoran as a decoration, and since he left Fengqi Palace on the first day, he has never appeared again, allowing the imperial guards to surround the entire Fengqi Palace with three floors and three floors outside. What's the difference between being a regiment and going to jail?
"What do you care about him? If he doesn't come, it's better to paint it clean." The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth curled up, interrupting Xiaozhu's complaint, "What's more, I wish he wouldn't come here for the rest of his life."

"No matter what you say, Miss is still a queen. It's too much for the emperor to put you aside like this!" Xiaozhu's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Miss, why is your life so hard? In the mansion, the eldest ladies know how to bully you all day long, and they managed to make it through, but the emperor doesn’t care about you, why doesn’t God open his eyes?"

"Since God is not open, let him be blind forever." Mo Xiaoran took the teacup from Xiao Zhu, rinsed her mouth, and said with a light smile.

"But the emperor would rather accompany Concubine Xue to visit the Imperial Garden, but he has to take a detour when passing through Fengqi Palace. Isn't this a joke for others to see?" Xiao Zhu has heard people in the palace talking about it these days. Doesn't it mean that Mo Xiaoran fell out of favor and Liao Xue gained favor?Those people in Chaoyang Palace almost raised their tails to the sky.

Yu Yu Garden?

Mo Xiaoran narrowed her eyes, this Bai Zixu was in good spirits and quite arty.

"They visit their yard, let's live our lives, don't put your mind on irrelevant people." Mo Xiaoran comforted.

"But you are the queen!" Xiao Zhu stomped her feet.

"But no one treats me as a queen. I'm just a display. Do you understand the display?" Seeing Xiaozhu defending herself, Mo Xiaoran was angry and funny, "It's best for them not to remember me for the rest of their lives. Recently, we have to Search carefully to see if you can find a secret way out of the palace or something like that. : "

"Miss is going to leave the palace secretly?" Xiaozhu was startled, although she had heard from Mo Xiaoran that she was planning to leave the palace with tricks, she never thought that she would have the idea of ​​escaping secretly.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to leave forever, I just feel that staying in this palace is too boring, I can go out and relax." Mo Xiaoran said casually, after washing, she picked out a tight-fitting long dress. Skirt, cut the hem into two pieces with scissors, and tie the legs.

"Miss is going to exercise again?" In the past seven days, Xiaozhu has gotten used to Mo Xiaoran getting up every morning and doing weird training in the bedroom.

Mo Xiaoran was very dissatisfied with this body. You know, her previous body was not only capable of single-handedly fighting 100 people, but when facing seven or eight police officers, she could definitely achieve instant kills!

The last time she was out of the palace, she was already in a panic with just a few soldiers. How could she allow this situation to continue?Although there is no martial arts, but no matter what you say, you must train your skills.

After poking the almost negligible muscles on her calf, Mo Xiaoran sighed, "I really don't know when I will be able to recover to my previous strength."

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Xiaozhu looked at Mo Xiaoran who was talking to herself, and asked aloud.

She shook her head, "It's nothing, just guard the door for me, and please notify me if anyone comes in."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhu walked out of the bedroom with the water basin in his hand, and closed the door. Mo Xiaoran took a deep breath and did push-ups directly on the ground.

Still counting, the goal she set for herself was to do [-] push-ups, [-] sit-ups every day, and then run [-] laps around the high wall in the peach blossom forest.

For Mo Xiaoran in the past, this kind of exercise can only be regarded as an appetizer at best, but now, just a hundred push-ups is enough to make her breathe for a long time.

On the high wall, a pear tree scattered pink and white petals all over the ground. Bai Qingluo was wearing a dark robe, sitting on a branch, with black hair and smooth, tall and slender figure, squinting through the half-opened window, looking at Inside sat Mo Xiaoran who was moving strangely.

That immature face was flushed due to exercise, and the big sweat was especially glaring in the sun. Her thin figure struggled up and down on the ground. At first, she put her hands on the ground, and then turned into one hand, in a strange posture.

What tricks is this woman playing again?
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and Bai Qingluo watched it with great interest.

Mo Xiaoran was instantly alerted by that threatening gaze that could not be ignored. She suddenly stopped her movements, raised her head, and met Bai Qingluo's sharp gaze unexpectedly in mid-air.

The carved red lacquered window was half open, and the cool breeze was blowing. The two looked at each other from the air, one was as sharp as a knife, and the other had no waves in the ancient well.
