After the first fool

Chapter 78

After thinking about it, he walked up to the Yanyu Building, entered the private room, and saw Bai Qingluo sitting at the table with several delicious side dishes and a pot of Nurhong, exuding a pure aroma.

"Uncle Emperor." Bai Mo bowed his hands in salute, and then sat down with his robe lifted. Under the flickering oil lamp, his stern face was like a knife cut, his thick eyebrows were sharp, and there was a trace of righteousness and uprightness between his brows.

Bai Qingluo shook the wine glass in his hand lightly, took a sip casually, his expression calm.

"Uncle Huang, I'm leaving tomorrow to send silver to the border. Please take care of the affairs of the capital in secret."

"Aren't you afraid that Zixu will take the opportunity to weaken your power when you go to the border?" Bai Qingluo smiled coldly, her tone was flat, without any emotion, her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, quietly Jing looked at the white ink in front of him, and asked softly.

The corner of Bai Mo's mouth was stained with a bit of bitterness, and he shook his head: "40 taels, if such a large sum of money is handed over to someone else to escort, I feel uneasy. I am afraid that I will be ambushed in secret, so I have to go through it myself."

He didn't know that after leaving the court, Bai Zixu would definitely do something, but even so, he had to leave.

Bai Qingluo gently propped the corner of his eyebrows with one hand, and did not speak. In the private room, only the flickering candlelight flickered gently. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Be careful all the way."

Although there were only four simple words, the uneasiness in Bai Mo's heart dissipated in an instant. From this point of view, the emperor agreed. There was a gleam of joy in his eyes, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes! A lot of money was sent to the border."

After all, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it up. Early the next morning, the gate of the imperial city had just opened, and Bai Mo led three thousand soldiers, riding sweaty BMWs, and set off neatly to the border. Standing on the watchtower in the imperial palace, Xu watched the mighty procession march out of the imperial city. The sound of horseshoes made the ground tremble under his feet, smoke billowed, and banners fluttered.

white ink...

A bloodthirsty coldness flashed in his eyes, "Li Quan."

"The slave is here." Hearing his shout, Li Quan hurried over.

"The Prime Minister and the Minister of the Ministry of War will enter the palace immediately. I have something important to discuss with them." Bai Zixu waved his sleeves, and the bright yellow clothes flew in a cold arc in the air.

On the same day, the prime minister and Liao Ke both entered the palace to formulate a strategy to weaken the power in Bai Mo's hands. The regent left the court, and the countless military officers of the other party were leaderless.Although it cannot be eradicated, it can be suppressed in a short time.

On the second day, the prime minister impeached the admiral of the sixth rank and nine sects, saying that his rule was not strict, which led to the arrogance of the thieves in the imperial city and the complaints of the people. official.

Bai Zixu ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. Suddenly, the situation in the court changed suddenly.

"Miss?" The recent situation in the court has also caused panic in the harem. Xiaozhu is always paying attention to the movement in the palace, and told Mo Xiaoran the information he just inquired, but saw her with her eyes closed, sitting at the stone table in the peach blossom forest Side, not knowing what he was thinking, immediately called out.

"En?" Mo Xiaoran frowned.

"Why don't you care about it? Now that the master is shining in the court, your life will be better when he is well." Xiaozhu complained. In his eyes, the greater the power of the prime minister, the more representative Mo Xiaoran The bigger the background, the better.

Mo Xiaoran raised her hand and knocked on her forehead: "What's the matter?"

Bai Mo escorted silver for the border, but in the end, Bai Zixu joined forces with the prime minister and the minister of the Ministry of War to smash his power behind his back. From a moral point of view, he was definitely crossing the river and demolishing bridges. He was an ambitious wolf, and he was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. But from another angle, Mo Xiaoran had to sigh again, this Bai Mo is too stupid.

Knowing what the consequences would be if he left, but still went without hesitation, what is it if he is not a fool?
"The harem is not allowed to discuss government affairs indiscriminately. As long as the sky is not falling, it has nothing to do with us." Mo Xiaoran stretched her waist and said nonchalantly. She didn't think that Bai Zixu could uproot Bai Mo's power this time, but now it's just Taking the opportunity to pull out a few low-level military officers, it can only be regarded as a knock on the mountain.

It looks like thunder is loud, but in fact it is raining little.

"Don't worry about these, come and rub my shoulders for me, I seem to have a stiff neck last night." Mo Xiaoran closed her eyes, pointed to her shoulders, Xiaozhu stepped forward and rubbed her shoulders for her, it was true Forget about the business, just as the lady said, the world is falling, and they can't be suppressed.

The night was dewy and frosty, the sky was bright and moonless, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. The sky was so dark that it seemed to fall at any time. Occasionally, lightning broke through the clouds, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime.

"Your Majesty, it's time to flip the card." Li Quan looked at Bai Zixu who was still at his desk reviewing the memorial, holding the green card, and said respectfully.

Bai Zixu threw away the imperial brush in his hand, rubbed his wrist, glanced at the neatly placed wooden plaques, and finally lifted the Queen's plaque.

In the past few days, the prime minister has pulled out the power of the regent Bai Mo for him every day. It can be said that he has worked hard. He should also give the prime minister face and go to see the queen. Since the wedding, he has not performed the ceremony of husband and wife with her. Although the queen has a bad temper, her appearance is first-class.

"Let's go to Fengqi Palace." Bai Zixu put away the sparkle in his eyes, and waved his hand to drive.

When Li Quan saw him turn over the empress's green card, his heart twitched, and seeing that his expression was the same, he thought to himself, is the empress going to be favored?
"Miss, miss!" Xiaozhu rushed in from outside the palace, and lifted the quilt from Mo Xiaoran's body, so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

"What are you doing?" Mo Xiaoran frowned, and straightened her body in a daze. It's the middle of the night, why is she venting?

Xiaozhu smiled and said: "The emperor is coming! Just now Eunuch Li sent someone to say that the emperor turned over your sign tonight and wants to let the lady sleep." This is a great thing, the lady may come from Starting today, fly up to the branches and completely become that phoenix that is so gorgeous in the world!

"What?" Mo Xiaoran was stunned, Bai Zixu's mind was caught by the door, right?Actually came here to let her sleep?What international joke?She hurriedly shook her head: "Go, close the door of the palace for me, if he dares to come, call me out." Mo Xiaoran ordered through gritted teeth, there was no joy on her face about going to bed.

Xiaozhu was startled, and called out hesitantly: "Miss?"

Beat the emperor out?Who would dare to do such a thing?

"Are you sure Bai Zixu is coming?" Mo Xiaoran took a deep breath, calmed down her astonishment, calmed down, her eyes were as clear as the moon, she looked at Xiao Zhu, and asked softly.

"That's right, the emperor turned over the signboard of the young lady, and I guess it will be here soon." When Xiaozhu heard the news, she immediately dragged Mo Xiaoran out of bed, waiting to supply the emperor's holy driver, but why did the young lady feel so worried? Reluctant and unwilling, as if he has a deep hatred with whom?
"Put on my makeup, remember to make it whiter, it's best to look dying." Mo Xiaoran rolled her eyeballs and said calmly, now she can only pretend to be sick to escape the tragic end of the servant.

"Miss?" Xiaozhu stared at Mo Xiaoran who spoke in astonishment, "But the emperor finally..."

"I'll let you put on makeup for me." Mo Xiaoran said anxiously, even though Xiaozhu was absolutely unwilling, she could only follow her instructions and spread a thick layer of powdery, white foundation on Mo Xiaoran's face. Xiao Ran's face was covered all over, and she looked as if she was terminally ill and would die at any moment. She pulled the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, pretending to be weak.

If he hadn't watched her put on makeup with his own eyes, Xiaozhu would almost have mistakenly thought that she was really sick.

"The emperor is here--" Li Quan's male duck voice rang out outside Fengqi Palace, startling the birds in the peach blossom forest to spread their wings and fly freely.

A group of eunuchs carrying palace lanterns surrounded Bai Zixu to Fengqi Palace. Under the lights, his handsome figure looked more majestic, with a handsome face and fair skin. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and his eyes were dim. Unknown, when he stepped into the bedroom, he saw Xiaozhu kneeling on the ground trembling, his eyes swept left and right, and his eyes sank: "Where's the queen?"

Xiaozhu shuddered, with a slightly anxious expression: "Your Majesty is sick and can't get up on the bed."

sick?

Bai Zixu turned his head and glanced at Li Quan, who shook his head secretly, indicating that he hadn't received the news that the queen was ill.

Is she faking illness?
With a cold snort in his heart, Bai Zixu bypassed Xiao Zhu and walked directly into the inner room. Behind the screen, on the eight immortals bed inlaid with gold, Mo Xiaoran half-jawed her eyes and leaned against the head of the bed angrily, her expression extremely She was pale, and her lips had no color at all, and were even slightly chapped.

Bai Zixu's sharp gaze was rooted on her body, as if he wanted to see through her soul, but when he saw the pink neck above her skirt, which was completely different from his face, his eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that in order not to stay in bed, she really can use any means, even pretending to be sick?

Are you really going to treat him like a fool?
Although the bottom of his heart was full of anger, in front of him, he had a gentle expression. He walked steadily to the edge of the bed, sat down sideways, his deep eyes reflected Mo Xiaoran's pale and bloodless face, and gently squeezed Mo Xiaoran's lips with his palms. hand, it was obvious that her body temperature was no different from that of ordinary people, and she became more and more sure that she was faking it.

Mo Xiaoran's body froze imperceptibly, she tried her best to restrain the desire to slap his hand away, her eyes were pitiful, and she looked weaker and weaker, "Your Majesty."

"Why did you suddenly get sick?" Bai Zixu asked softly, with a slightly anxious look on his face, as if he was really worried about her illness.

Could it be that she happened to be sick because she didn't want to go to bed?
Mo Xiaoran slandered in her heart, but her face was weak: "Perhaps she caught a cold during the day and caught the wind chill." After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth and coughed several times. , if it is placed in modern times, I am afraid that it will be selected as the queen of the movie.

There was an extremely gentle smile on the corner of Bai Zixu's mouth, but there was no warmth in his eyes, cold to the bone: "Really?"

Mo Xiaoran felt a chill down her spine, always feeling that he didn't believe it, could it be that he saw that she was faking illness?After thinking about it carefully, she didn't feel that she was showing any signs, so she relaxed a little, "Yes."

"I wanted to let you sleep today, but I didn't expect you to be ill by coincidence." Bai Zixu sighed in disappointment, his lowered eyes glinted dimly.
