After the first fool

Chapter 65
The prime minister slammed his head on the ground suddenly, unable to refute.

He also didn't know why Mo Xiaoran was suddenly not stupid. If he had known this earlier, he would never have agreed to send her into the palace that day.

Bai Zixu took a deep breath, and slowly raised a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth: "The crime of deceiving the emperor, Mo Qing, can you bear it?"

"I beg the emperor to forgive me." Mo Qing shuddered and crawled again.

"Hmph," Bai Zixu snorted coldly, "Mo Xiaoran is not stupid, do you know this?"

If he knew, today, he would let his blood splash here!
Mo Qing was heartbroken and shook his head vigorously: "I don't know."

"Tell me, how can there be such a bizarre thing in the world? Is it possible that a fool will not be a fool overnight?" Bai Zixu slapped the dragon case hard, causing the table to vibrate: "Mo Qing, you What is your daughter planning secretly?"

"I really don't know, my majesty—" Mo Qing burst into tears. He was really wronged, comparable to Dou E. A bean-sized teardrop splashed on the floor. Bai Zixu looked the same when he saw him, but believed scored two points.

"Deceive the king, you have no way to rule, what do you think I should do to her?" He threw the question to the prime minister, but he really wanted to see what kind of answer this person would give.

Mo Qing is an old fox. He knows very well that if Mo Xiaoran is punished, the prime minister's mansion will be implicated. Now the prime minister is in the same line, and the royal family is like an ant on a rope. Isn't it the turn of the daughter of the Minister of War to sit down?Absolutely not!

"Old minister...Old minister..." Mo Qing stammered for a while, and finally closed his eyes, with a look of grief beyond his heart: "I ask the emperor to make an order, and I will obey the order of the emperor."

"Zhen..." Bai Zixu's eyes were filled with infinite murderous intent, the queen mother saw that it was not good to scream, and gave him a quick look, Bai Zixu eased the cold look on his face, and asked: "Does the queen mother have any ideas?"

"Hey, Prime Minister, you help my son. I will keep this love in my heart. Don't worry, I will plead with the emperor." The queen mother comforted the prime minister and said softly.

"Thank you, Empress."

With the Queen Mother's words, it seems that the Queen's position has been preserved. Mo Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but she was very angry with Mo Xiaoran. A lot of trouble happened!If he had known this earlier, he should have strangled her to death in her infancy instead of letting her survive.

Mo Qing bowed and retreated, and the queen mother sat down beside the soft couch until he left the imperial study, with a trace of fatigue on her brows, "Emperor, what do you plan to do with Mo Xiaoran?"

"I want to abolish her!" Bai Zixu said through gritted teeth, his eyes were as cold as a cold pool.

"No." She knew it would be such an answer. The queen mother waved to Bai Zixu gently, and he walked over slowly, looking at his mother in confusion: "Why?"

"If you abolish the empress, who will take the next seat?" The queen mother patted the back of his hand: "Although the prime minister and the minister of the military department are already on your side, they are still fighting secretly. Now in the harem, except for Mo Xiaoran, Only Liao Xue can sit in the back seat, but in this way, the power of Minister of the Ministry of War will definitely increase, and the prime minister will inevitably have pimples in his heart. If you want to rely on the two of them, you have to have a bowl of water, and you must not favor anyone. On the one hand, if the situation in the harem changes, the court will definitely change, and now the civil servants are headed by the prime minister, if you abolish Mo Xiaoran, won't you allow Liao Ke to grow bigger? No, no." The Queen Mother saw the situation in the court very clearly I understand that I want to rely on the two, but I don't want to let them control the court, and one person dominates. They must check and balance each other, so that Bai Zixu's throne can be secure.

"What does the empress mean?" Bai Zixu calmed down a little, and asked hesitantly.

"Punishment must be punished, but the inferior position cannot be abolished! Letting Mo Xiaoran stay in the sky prison for a period of time is considered a small punishment and a big punishment. The Ai family has to ask the maid who serves beside her. How is Ran not stupid?" A gleam flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and her words were cold.

Bai Zixu nodded silently: "Just follow what my mother wants, hmph, this Mo Xiaoran, I will keep her for a few days."

"This is the good emperor of the Ai family." The smile on the corner of the queen mother's mouth became more gentle, she gently hugged Bai Zixu in her arms, and patted him on the back as she did when she was a child, "Our mother and son can only rely on the courtiers, Only then can you live a peaceful life, Huang Er, you have suffered so much."

"The son is not suffering, the queen mother does not need to worry." Bai Zixu smiled softly, closed his eyes, and quietly leaned on the queen mother's shoulder.

In the imperial study room, there is a deep love between mother and child.

Mo Xiaoran spent two days in the dark cell. In the beginning, she ate bad food and drank bad water. Don't care what you eat.

But since the second day, her meals have improved significantly. Although they are not as good as the delicacies in Fengqi Palace, they can at least be regarded as home-cooked dishes. Sitting cross-legged on the pile of straw, she poked the white rice in the porcelain bowl, Gulping and pawing, there is no demeanor at all.

In the sky prison, the cell bosses have nothing to do, and they will be raised as serious criminals in the middle of the night. To torture them, Mo Xiaoran has to endure the screams of ghosts and wolves every night, the sound of whips, and the burning of flesh and blood with irons. The sound was like a magic voice ringing around her ears. Her face was a little dark, but her eyes were still bright. After eating, she threw the bowls and chopsticks aside, and the cell boss would come to clean up later.

"I really don't know what the regent is thinking, but he would send someone to give the queen extra meals." Several cell leaders sat around a wooden table outside the prison, discussing while drinking wine .

"How can we guess what the people above are thinking? Maybe the regent is having an affair with the empress?" Another prison chief raised his eyebrows with a smirk on his face, "This harem is the most chaotic in the world. A place where anything can happen.”

"Okay, take other people's money, and do what the prince told you in a safe manner. Don't talk about it behind your back. If the regent finds out." A prison boss who has been here for more than ten years threatened the group in front of him. The young man made a gesture of wiping his neck. The Regent Bai Mo, the God of War he killed has long been famous in the Three Kingdoms.

Everyone stopped talking, how dare they whisper behind their backs?
Ever since Mo Xiaoran entered the prison, she didn't cry for mercy, nor did she make a sound, but was leisurely and carefree, as if she was in her own bedroom. Have you ever seen such an honest prisoner?Everyone was at a loss, thinking, is this queen stupid again?
In the middle of the night, in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager and Bai Zixu sat firmly on the head. Xiaozhu was wearing heavy iron chains on his limbs. He was pushed and shoved by two eunuchs. He staggered in. His knee was kicked and he fell to his knees suddenly. On the ground, although the clothes on his body were shabby, they were not damaged, and although his expression was tired, there were no signs of being tortured, but his lips were dry and cracked, making him look rather weak.

"Are you the servant girl next to the empress?" The empress dowager nodded slightly, with bright eyes and a kind smile on her face, as if she wanted to let Xiao Zhu relax.

In the past two days, she hadn't eaten a grain of rice or drank a sip of water. At this time, she was already hungry, her mouth was dry, she was shaking her head, kneeling on the ground, turning a deaf ear to the Queen Mother's inquiries.

There was only one thought in her mind, she had to hold on until the young lady came to take her away!

She can't be sorry to Miss, she can't betray Miss.

This belief is like a pious belief, taking root in her mind. When the Queen Mother saw that she hadn't answered for a long time, a trace of anger flashed across her brows, "The Ai family asked you something, why didn't you answer?"

Xiao Zhu prostrated himself on the ground without moving, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

"Queen, this court lady has integrity. My son has interrogated her once, but she didn't say anything. It seems that I don't want to ask anything today." Bai Zixu sighed, if he didn't want to keep her to restrain Mo Xiaoran, Just because this court lady has no dignity, he has to let her taste the death penalty in the palace!

"Bones?" The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold, and she gave Nanny Gui a wink: "Treat her well, remember, move quickly, Aijia wants to see how hard her bones are."

After all, Nanny Gui dragged Xiaozhu into the Buddhist hall with a smile on her face, and after a while, there were bursts of hoarse wailing sounds like a ghost.

The Empress Dowager casually picked up the teacup on the table, and sipped the tea leisurely, while Bai Zixu rested his eyebrows with one hand, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The silver needles pierce Xiaozhu's body without scars and will not bleed. It is the most commonly used torture tool in the palace to torture servants.

The wailing sound gradually diminished, and at the end Xiaozhu was as angry as a silk, and Nanny Gui ran out of the Buddhist hall wiping the sweat from her forehead, and shook her head at the Queen Mother: "My Lady, the maid fainted, and she still refused to speak. "

"Can't the Ai family even punish a court lady?" The queen mother grew angry in her heart, and ordered in a cold voice: "Pour cold water on her to wake her up, when she will open her mouth to tell the queen's secret, when will she let her go."

"Hey!" Nanny Gui understood and returned to the Buddhist hall again.

That night, in the cold Buddhist hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the screams went straight to the sky.

In the prison, Mo Xiaoran curled up on the stone bed, her body trembling slightly in the cold air, her lips were black and blue, even in midsummer, the temperature in the cell was still as cold as winter.

A black shadow flashed in from outside the dungeon, knocked the guards unconscious, and floated into the depths of the dungeon like a ghost.

Mo Xiaoran opened her eyes suddenly, and in the darkness, she could already smell the familiar fragrance of dragon's tongue flower.

Bai Qingluo is here?
Turning over and sitting up from the stone bed, a pair of cold eyes looked at the dark place outside the stake, "Why are you here?"

Bai Qingluo unlocked the door with the key he found from the cell boss, and stepped in. He was dressed in a black robe and had a cold face. He was standing two meters away from Mo Xiaoran, as deep as a cold pool His eyes were staring at her.

Eyes wide open and small eyes wide open, no one said a word, until Mo Xiaoran's eyes were sore, she tapped her shoulders in discouragement, leaned against the cold wall, and stared at Bai Qingluo: "You came here for Compare your eyesight with mine?"

"It seems that you live a very comfortable life here." Bai Qingluo said quietly, his eyes swept around, and when he saw this simple prison cell, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Fortunately, it won't rain anyway, and I won't be hungry." Mo Xiaoran was carefree, with her hands resting on the back of her head, looking at ease.
