Just as Bai Tao was worried, although Shangguan Hui's true identity has not been announced to the public, the previous deeds of the Northern Emperor have already aroused a lot of discussion in the palace.

At this time, in the inner hall of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was half leaning on the soft couch, listening to the nanny telling what happened during the day, her brows were raised slightly, her expression showing a hint of surprise.

"You said that the emperor first met the prime minister from the Southern Dynasty alone, and then called Shangguan Hui into the pavilion?"

"Exactly!"

Nanny Qi, who had served the Empress Dowager the longest, nodded in response.

"Did our people hear anything?" The Empress Dowager asked again immediately.Living in the deep palace for a long time, naturally he has already mastered the rules of survival in this palace.Among them, it is particularly important to place eyeliner in each palace.

"The old slave went to ask. At that time, His Majesty drove out all the palace servants who served him closely, leaving only the servant Gao Yun to serve by his side. You know, the Empress Dowager, that Gao Yun is sincere to the emperor. Quite. Naturally, nothing can be asked from him."

"Tell me, what else is unusual?"

While asking, the Empress Dowager stared at her in thought, thinking that this matter must not be simple.

Hearing this, Nanny Qi thought about it seriously, and suddenly thought of something, she hastily reported it to her master, "I heard that the emperor later summoned Lord Censor Bai into the palace."

"Master Censor Bai? But that Bai Tao?"

"Exactly!"

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking carefully about the key points.The prime minister from the Southern Dynasty, Shangguan Hui, Bai Tao... What is the relationship between them?

After thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't come up with anything. She rubbed the space between her eyebrows and told Nanny Qi, "Go, find Gao Yun, and ask the emperor what he said about those three people."

"But Gao Yun may not be able to speak."

The Empress Dowager smiled coldly, and there were a few rays of light in her eyes that did not match her old state. "There is no one who does not love money."

Nanny Qi suddenly realized, "I'll do it now, old slave!" After saying that, she bowed respectfully and backed out!

It was night, with a bright moon, and the Cheng Mansion, which had been bustling all day, finally regained its original silence.The servants who were tired all day returned to the servant's room to rest.Therefore, the courtyard, where people come and go during the day, looks extremely deserted at this moment.

Shangguan Hui walked out of the room and looked at the tall and tall figure under the faint moonlight.I don't know when it started, Hun no longer only wears white shirts every day, sometimes blue, sometimes silver gray, he is looking for some changes.So, what about the vow he made at the beginning to wait for her forever?Is it as firm as before, or...

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Yebei didn't turn his head, but with his keen sense of hearing, he had already judged who the person with these Yingqian footsteps was.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Turning around, the silver mask and the silvery white of the moon complement each other, as if shrouded in mist, giving people a sense of remoteness and coldness.

"Would you like to come over for a drink?"

Shangguan Hui shook the flagon in his hand at him, and offered an invitation with a smile.Although she doesn't like drinking, she especially hates the hot and intense taste of wine in her throat.But since I came to the Northland, sometimes I have to drink a cup to keep out the cold.After a long time, it no longer feels so bad to drink.

"Whose lady would be like you, instead of sleeping peacefully in the room at night, but running out to drink and have fun? Brother Huang will have to worry about it in the future."

Feng Yebei teased her unceremoniously, his eyes were full of fun.Even so, he still walked towards her.Seeing her sitting down at the stone table in the courtyard, he also took the opportunity to sit down.
