After the first fool

Chapter 74 A Man's Loyalty

"Did you know that he had an affair with another court lady?" Mo Xiaoran's face turned cold, and she asked harshly.

puff.

A Luo hastily fell to his knees, shaking his head in disbelief: "Impossible! The servant has known him since childhood, how could he...how could..."

"It's true, my mother and I saw it with our own eyes. Not long after you left, there was another court lady hugging that person." Xiaozhu frantically gestured, trying to convince her.

"No! It's not true!" A Luo couldn't bear the blow for a while, his face was pale and bloodless.

Mo Xiaoran really couldn't bear it anymore, she waved her hand and said softly: "If you don't believe me, just ask him to try it."

After all, she winked at Xiao Zhu, who immediately helped A Luo up and hid in the inner room.

Mo Xiaoran coughed lightly, and ordered the guard to be called in.

"The slave knocks on the empress." The imperial guard knelt down respectfully, with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes, wondering why the queen sent him in.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have done nothing wrong.

Mo Xiaoran's brows were cold, she nodded slightly, and tapped her elbow with her index finger: "Just now someone came to tell me that you have an affair with the maid who is often by Mei's side, and all the maids in the palace are the emperor's women, unless you arrive Only when the age is released from the palace can they be married again, I ask you, is there such a thing?"

The imperial guard immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't listen to rumors. The servant has been doing his duty in the palace. How could he have an affair with the maid? How could the servant who is always by Mei's side know each other? Madam, the servant has been wronged."

From the corner of her eyes, Mo Xiaoran caught a glimpse of A Luo's slightly trembling figure hiding behind the screen in the inner room, a trace of unbearableness flashed in her eyes, and then two sharp lights shot out from her eyes, she hated this kind of daredevil the most in her life. Be a person who dare not be!Not only did he deceive the woman's feelings, but he also wanted to wave his hand and pick himself out.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

"But, I saw you hugging and kissing a court lady in the imperial garden with my own eyes. Are you suspecting that there is something wrong with my eyes?"

Mo Xiaoran's light words made the Imperial Guard instantly flustered.

Could it be that the queen was really in the imperial garden just now?Looking up quickly, seeing Mo Xiaoran's determined face, how could the imperial guards dare to argue?He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Ma'am, please forgive me, it was that A Luo who seduced the servant, and the servant was temporarily infatuated..."

"Wait," Mo Xiaoran raised her hand and interrupted him: "You said, it was A Luo who seduced you, that's why you did such scandalous things with her in the royal garden? Are you sure?"

The imperial guards panicked, so how could they care about other things?If the empress dowager finds out about the affair with the court lady, he will lose his head.

"Yes, yes, it is true."

"boom!"

Mo Xiaoran slapped the table and stood up, looking coldly at the imperial guards who were prostrate on the ground shaking like a sieve, and laughed angrily: "Not only are you full of lies, even for your own life, you can even reject the woman you once liked. Come out, I will ask you, do you still feel ashamed?"

"Your Majesty?" The imperial guard looked up in astonishment with a pale face, and met Mo Xiaoran's fire-breathing gaze. He felt a chill run down his spine, and felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his scalp.

"What I hate the most in my life is a man like you who has no responsibility and no courage. Come here," Mo Xiaoran called out loudly, and two guards rushed in immediately, "Take this man Fork it out to this palace, hand it over to Concubine Xue, and tell him that this person has cheated on the court lady, violated the palace rules, and let Concubine Xue be punished."

"Hey!" The two imperial guards didn't dare to neglect, and immediately dragged the man out, but the man kept begging for mercy, trying to get Mo Xiaoran to let him go.

When the people walked away, she sat back on the couch again, glanced behind the screen, and said in a low voice, "Come out."

Xiaozhu supported A Luo who was almost limp, and walked slowly, with an angry expression on his face, "That guy is too hateful!"

"Now do you believe it?" Mo Xiaoran asked softly while looking at A Luo with raised eyebrows.

"Yes! It's the servant who is blind, who mistrusted his sweet words, and begged the queen to grant the punishment to the servant." A Luo broke free from Xiaozhu's hand, and fell directly to her knees. The person she loved betrayed her, in order to survive, He even pushed her out as a shield, because she was blind, and her grief was greater than her heart's death. At this moment, Ah Luo really has nothing to love.

"What's your fault?" Mo Xiaoran shook her head with a half-smile, "You can see his true face clearly, it's not in vain for me to sing such a play here, Xiao Zhu, are you satisfied now?" said In the end, it was only because of Xiao Zhu that she stood up for A Luo.

Xiao Zhu rubbed the tip of his nose, and smiled: "Miss is the best."

A Luo looked astonished, she had never seen such a master and servant, the master was not like the master, and the maid was not like the maid, but more like relatives, like sisters.

"I hope what happened this time can be remembered in your heart. Remember to keep your eyes open next time, and don't suffer from such dark losses again." Mo Xiaoran looked a little serious, waved her hand, and signaled A Luo to leave.

She didn't know that it was an unprovoked kind act today, but not long after, it saved her once.

This is later.

"Miss, do you think Concubine Xue Gui will treat that person like this?" Xiaozhu looked excited, as if he had seen the tragic end of the imperial guard.

"Her?" The corners of Mo Xiaoran's lips twitched slightly, with a slight arc: "In order to show her upright side, it is natural to punish her according to the palace rules."

Moreover, the person was brought from Fengqi Palace, if Liao Xue wanted to cover it up, he might fall victim to it.

With the phoenix seal on her hand, this kind of matter must naturally be handled by her.

"If this is the case, that would be great." Xiaozhu's face was full of joy, and it was really a joy to be able to deal with such a hateful man.

Mo Xiaoran didn't bother her joy. To be honest, she had seen too many such things, such as a man with two legs, and a woman crying after being betrayed.

Slightly closing her eyes, she didn't take this matter to heart, and put it behind her in an instant.

That night, after Bai Zixu finished reviewing the memorial on the Dragon Case, he saw Li Quan walking in from outside the hall with a green-headed card, and tonight it was time to turn over the card and go to bed.

He frowned slightly, threw away the imperial pen in his hand, and Li Quan walked up to him respectfully holding the green-headed card: "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."

The index finger kept wandering around the sign that said the rank of concubines in the harem, and finally fixed on the sign of the queen: "Is there any change in the queen today?"

Li Quan thought about it for a while, and then said: "I heard that the queen has caught a guard who had an affair with a court lady, and has already been handed over to the imperial concubine to deal with it according to the palace rules."

"En." Bai Zixu looked away from the signboard, turned over Liao Xue's signboard, "Go to Chaoyang Palace."

He somewhat misses the lotus seed soup made by Xueer.

Arriving at the Chaoyang Palace in a soft sedan, Liao Xue had already heard the news and was waiting outside the palace. The two walked into the palace side by side, and the palace staff retreated consciously, not daring to disturb them.

In Fengqi Palace, Mo Xiaoran was sitting on a wooden chair. On the round table in front of her was a handkerchief, a white cloth towel, and a cloud of powder piled up on it. The oil lamp was flickering slightly, and her face was also It looked so lonely in the dim light.

Since that day, Bai Qingluo has never appeared again.

Could it be that he is really so stingy that after being scolded by himself, he doesn't plan to come again?
Mo Xiaoran inevitably had a fire in her heart, looking at the broken pieces of the talisman in front of her, the more she looked at it, the more unpleasant it became.

"You are just like your master, you are hated." She muttered angrily, not realizing the trace of grievance hidden in her voice.

A black shadow on the high wall outside Fengqi Palace flashed away. Qingfeng raised his internal strength and flew out of the palace with light kung fu. He had to tell his master that the queen missed him. If the master knew the news, he would be happy.

The night was as cool as water, when the breeze rushed back to the Yanyu Tower, Bai Qingluo was leaning on the window sill, with a guqin on his knees, his slender fingers gently plucking the strings, the elegant sound of the piano lingered endlessly in the private room, or high-pitched Low or low scales are connected in series to form a graceful tone, which makes people mesmerized by listening.

Under the hazy moonlight, his cold face seemed to be stained with a soft color.

"Master." Qingfeng flew into the box and knelt on the ground.

"What's the matter?" His hands kept moving, he closed his eyes slightly, and continued to play the famous "Feng Qiu Huang".

It's just that I don't know if the person he begged is the one he guessed in his heart.

Qingfeng secretly speculated, but didn't show anything on his face, and vividly told Bai Qingluo what he saw in Fengqi Palace.

The strings in his hand buzzed, and there was a note missing.

Qingfeng laughed secretly. With the master's piano skills, if it wasn't for the big emotional fluctuations, how could he play it wrong?

only……

He lowered his gaze to remove the darkness in his eyes. Is the master really tempted by the queen?

"Did you see with your own eyes that she still has the remnants of the magic talisman?" In the darkness, Bai Qingluo's face was dim, with only a pair of deep eyes fixed on the breeze, the ten fingers that played with her own eyes had stopped, and the elegant piano The sound dissipated.

The evening wind was still there, he leaned against the window sill, and the breeze blew his black hair and made his clothes flutter.

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, he could assure with his head that he could indeed hear the taste of joy from his master's words, even with a hint of uncertainty, the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly, the master would actually doubt the facts he reported, Qingfeng couldn't help feeling aggrieved, "Yes." He answered loudly.

Bai Qingluo's heart was slightly strange, the corners of his cool mouth slowly rose, and the joy on the brows was dyed from the corners of his mouth all the way, like a drop of water splashing into a clear lake, like water patterns, slowly, rippling around, getting more and more Intoxicated, "Well, besides this, is there anything else going on in the palace today?"

Qingfeng looked at him strangely, sure enough, as long as the queen was involved, the master would start to become abnormal.

"Today, the Empress went to the Compassionate Palace to pay her respects as usual. On the way back, she happened to bump into the Imperial Guard having an affair with the maid, so she sent him to Concubine Xue, and let her handle it."

The current empress only has a false name and no real power in her hands. Even the Phoenix Seal is in the hands of Concubine Xue.

"Keep staring at her, go." Bai Qingluo waved his arm, his voice a little softer than usual.

Qingfeng was startled, raised his head quickly, and then murmured in doubt: "Master, won't you enter the palace?"

"No."

Well, it was a waste of his trip from the palace, if he knew that the master would not enter the palace, why was he happy for the master when he saw the queen take out that thing.
