A girl's promise is like a thousand gold.

In the days that followed, when Dumon and Archa returned, she stood in front of him like an old hen guarding a calf.

The cold, hard and gloomy heart gradually has a temperature.

"You have to protect the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the country of Qi. ”

"Protect your people. ”

"You have to protect the imperial power. ”

Father, mother, and concubine, everyone is telling him that he has too many things to protect.

He tensed his nerves day and night, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, knowing full well that he had the future of the entire country of Qi on his shoulders.

No one had ever told him like she had told him that she would protect him.

He had already sunk into the mire, unable to break free, but just as he was about to suffocate, he was pulled back to the ground by a pair of hands.

Shen Ruojiao is right, as long as you live, there is still hope.

On this day, the Samurai of the Inari who had been sent to Kannai returned to the team, and one of them knew the characters of Nakahara.

All of them wanted to verify, and then they remembered the lost letter.

A row of warriors poured into the small room, as if squeezing out all the air in the room, and Shen Ruojiao felt that it was difficult to even breathe.

But she still stood in front of Bai Zhen with a firm face.

Dumeng stared at her gloomily: "Where is the letter from Qi Kingdom?"

Shen Ruojiao subconsciously wanted to turn back, but she held back, and her little neck stiffened: "You took it." ”

The letter was eaten by Bai Zhen, and Bai Zhen ate it after reading the letter, but she couldn't show it.

Du Meng stepped forward a few steps and pinched her neck: "Where the hell are you?"

Shen Ruojiao's throat was tight, and she was about to lose her breath, when she caught a glimpse of Bai Zhen standing up, she opened her round eyes and looked at Du Meng's eyes: "You really, take it." ”

Her eyes were clear and clean, and she looked at Du Meng in a daze.

Dumeng was bewildered by these eyes, she didn't look like she was lying, and he let go of his hand suspiciously, glaring at her with a fierce look in his eyes.

Shen Ruojiao was not afraid, still blinking, looking directly at him.

Dumeng still believed it, thinking that he had accidentally lost the letter, and left the hut with the samurai.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Ruojiao fell to the ground, trembling all over, and bean-sized tears slid down her cheeks.

"You're pretty good at deceiving people. ”

Shen Ruojiao sniffled and looked back at him, not knowing whether he was praising him or hurting him, and she cried even more sadly for a while.

"I praise you. Bai Zhen was afraid of her, so she hurriedly remedied.

Shen Ruojiao's throat was still a little sore, and her voice was hoarse: "Are you so boastful?" ”

She stretched out the back of her hand to wipe away a handful of tears, and then sobbed and said, "Daddy said that only bad children lie, but I have already lied twice, and I am so bad." ”

Bai Zhen didn't expect it to be so much, she was still thinking about what she didn't have, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

He looked at the little bun who was crying into tears, and it was rare to soften: "You are not bad, you are a good boy." ”

Shen Ruojiao raised her head and glanced at him.

He added, "You are my savior." ”

"Life-saving benefactor?" Shen Ruojiao didn't have any concept of this word, tilted her head and said, "The nurse said that the grace of saving lives must be promised by oneself." ”

Bai Zhen laughed heartily: "Do you know what it means to make a promise?"

Shen Ruojiao's tears stopped flowing, shook her head, and nodded: "That's it, use your body to repay." ”

Bai Zhen didn't expect Shen Ruojiao to speak so boldly, and sneered: "You let me use my body to repay?"

Shen Ruojiao nodded firmly: "Yes, you have to live well and take care of your body, which is the best reward for me." ”

"This is your understanding?" Bai Zhen was stunned.

"What else?" Shen Ruojiao shrunk her neck and pouted at him.

"Well, that's right. Bai Zhen shrugged his shoulders, and the young man's face was full of banter, "Then I have to work hard to make a promise to you as soon as possible." ”

Shen Ruojiao didn't understand anything, and nodded stupidly.

"So, I've come to make a promise to you. ”

In his mind was the joke of the young man with a playful smile, and in his ears was Bai Zhen's serious and deep voice.

Between the rotation of time and space, Shen Ruojiao was a little in a trance.

Shen Ruojiao didn't speak, and Bai Zhen didn't force each other, but he couldn't leave the jade man in front of him for a moment, and he couldn't get enough of it.

After being silent for a long time, Bai Zhen said in a low voice: "I thought you had forgotten everything. ”

Shen Ruojiao hung her head: "After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I had a high fever, and that memory was intermittent, and I can't remember it really." ”

Bai Zhen was full of distress, wanted to hug her into his arms, stretched out a hand, but withdrew it crampedly.

Just now, he didn't say what he wanted, and he dared to ignore his hands and feet, and now he revealed his whole heart to her, but he began to be timid.

Even if you are the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, you will be worried about annoying your sweetheart.

He scratched his nose and looked at her expectantly, "Now, can you trust me?"

Shen Ruojiao's heart was chaotic, and she didn't know how to answer.

He said he had been obsessed with her since 12 years ago.

In the last three years of her life in her previous life, she became more and more silent in this deep palace, everything was grinding, and her arrogance turned into ashes.

She knew that she couldn't complain about Bai Zhen if she was reasonable. But that feeling was like a dark thorn in the side, disturbing her uneasy.

Her reaction was too obvious, Bai Zhen smiled bitterly, and his starry eyes gradually dimmed, but despite this, he still comforted softly: "It's okay, the future is long." ”

On the second day, Bai Zhen tidied up his clothes and walked out of Hancui Palace in a grand manner.

The news of Bai Zhen's stay in Hancui Palace was like a wing, and it quickly spread throughout the palace.

Shen Ruojiao didn't care, and if she used her brain a little, she could also know that this news was deliberately passed on by Bai Zhen.

Last night, she just had a night talk with Bai Zhen, exchanged information, and reached some consensus.

She is officially teaming up with Bai Zhen.

Shen Ruojiao played with the flowers and plants in her hands, and there was still a sense of dreaminess like yesterday.

At the beginning, she was still a stupid girl who couldn't even listen to good words, but now she is in the center of the power vortex, with wolves and tigers.

Bai Zhen's investigation of Lu Daimei also confirmed her previous speculation.

Lu Daimei is really not as simple as a dancing girl, according to the information obtained by Bai Zhen, the forces behind Lu Daimei are from the northwest.

This couldn't help but make her think of Duanwang Bai Zhu, who guarded the northwest.

Bai Zhu, who has no desire and takes the initiative to invite Ying to the northwest, will also have an antipathy?

The country of Baizhen is really stormy.

"Has it come to this point?" Bai Zhen frowned and threw the note in his hand into the furnace.

Below, Wei Chi was also full of sadness: "The governors of the four northwestern states are not credible people. ”

"There is a brother Wang in Duanzhou, and he is still peaceful, and Qingzhou, Yunzhou and Luozhou are the thorns in my heart. ”

Wei Chi's expression changed, and he finally couldn't help but speak: "King Duan, don't believe it all." ”

Bai Zhen paused and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to doubt Brother Wang. ”

"The emperor and King Duan have a deep relationship, but King Duan has a heavy army, and he must not be prevented. Wei Chi bluntly admonished.

Bai Zhen closed his eyes, and his voice was a little tired: "I understand." The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, so let's act after the feast. ”

There were still ten days before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and Wei Chi was worried that there would be variables, but after he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the deep meaning on the face of the Son of Heaven, he didn't say anything more.

The world says that the emperor is ruthless, but he is born in the world, how can he really be ruthless and desireless.

Sitting in that position, you can control the power of life and death of the people in the world, but at the same time, you will lose a lot of things. Even the closest relatives are calculating all the time, and the so-called blood kinship, in the royal family, is the least worth mentioning.
