Chapter 40: Kite Autumn

At the end of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, it was already the willow tops on the moon.

Shen Ruojiao and Bai Zhen walked away as sweetly and lovingly as when they came, envious of others.

As soon as she left the Shouxi Palace, Shen Ruojiao was embarrassed and wanted to let go.

Bai Zhen's hand moved tightly, and he held the jade-like soft wattle with his backhand.

Shen Ruojiao shrank her hand, but felt the big palm as hard as iron squeeze in irresistibly, interlocking with her ten fingers.

His hands were hot, and the heat spread from the palm of his hand to his cheeks, and from his cheeks to the depths of his heart.

Bai Zhen whispered in his ear: "There are eyes everywhere in the palace, you have to think clearly." ”

Shen Ruojiao's throat rolled, and she no longer struggled.

Bai Zhen laughed in a low voice: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you again." ”

The two are like fairy couples, helping each other and walking on the broad road.

The moonlight fell to the ground, gentle and timeless.

Deyong and Jiyue, who followed behind him, were all smiling, believing that the pair of beautiful people in front of them were a match made in heaven.

Bai Zhen sent Shen Ruojiao back to Hancui Palace, but did not leave immediately.

The palace people all withdrew with interest.

When the moon is in the sky, the people in the courtyard stand embracing each other, and the shadows fall into pairs, blending with each other.

"Empress Chen may win over Lu Daimei and deal with Concubine Liu together. Shen Ruojiao said his conjecture.

Bai Zhen hugged her from behind, his head buried in her shoulders and neck, he didn't want to talk about other things at this time, but still responded to her patiently: "Do whatever you want, let it go, everything has me." ”

Shen Ruojiao remembered something and asked, "Lu Daimei, is it Duanwang's person?"

She could feel the man behind her stiffen and breathe heavily.

Shen Ruojiao frowned, broke free from his arms, and turned to look at him.

Bai Zhen smiled at her soothingly: "The state pastors of Yunzhou, Qingzhou, and Luozhou are all Liu Jian's people. ”

"But Duanwang ......"

As soon as the conversation began, he was interrupted by Bai Zhen: "I grew up with Brother Wang since I was a child. ”

Shen Ruojiao nodded: "I've heard of it." ”

Duanwang Bai Zhu and Bai Zhen, although they are not siblings of the same mother, but Duanwang's mother died early, and Duanwang was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother when he was very young, and he had a deep relationship with Bai Zhen.

"I was born as a prince, and the other brothers and sisters either respect me or are afraid of me, and I have never been able to integrate into their world. Only Brother Wang will study with me, take me to bow together, help me fight, and be punished for me. When Bai Zhen mentioned Bai Zhu, there was another kind of tenderness in his eyes.

Shen Ruojiao suddenly blurted out: "You're tired, aren't you?"

As soon as the words came out, she regretted them, which had been swirling in her mind many times, but now they were out of place.

Bai Zhen was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I can't be tired." ”

He couldn't be tired before, he didn't have power, and if he was tired, Qi Guo would change the dynasty at any time.

Now he can't be tired, although he has slowly regained a lot of power, but correspondingly, his responsibilities are getting heavier and heavier.

Shen Ruojiao didn't know how to appease, bit her lip and said, "You are a Mingjun." ”

At least, since Bai Zhen came to power, he quickly rebuilt the war-torn Qi State, allowing the people of Qi to live and work in peace and contentment for nine years, and also made Yin Li dare not attack easily.

The internal and external troubles of Qi Country today are all the seeds of disasters that were once planted.

If it weren't for Bai Zhen, the situation of Qi would only be more difficult.

Therefore, he is a well-deserved gentleman.

"Mingjun?" Bai Zhen's eyes were confused for a moment, and then quickly dispersed, "Mingjun, you won't harm your bloodline siblings, will you?"

That's different......

Shen Ruojiao moved her lips, and cruel words were about to come out, but she still couldn't bear to puncture his beautiful illusions after all.

He regards Bai Zhu as a blood relative, but can Bai Zhu be the same as him?

Bai Qi, who is outside the court, but is still ready to move, is still unwilling to be a minister, not to mention Bai Zhu, who has a heavy army.

In Zhaojin Palace, the door of Empress Chen's room was closed, and the sound of things falling to the ground was constantly heard inside. Outside the door, the palace people knelt sparsely on the ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to come out.

When the wind and waves were calm inside, the palace people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kite, come in. Empress Chen's voice could not be heard with joy or anger.

Iris stood up in a panic, stumbling from her legs being sore for a long time.

Iris rubbed her legs, trembling and stepping into the door, just closed the door, a porcelain cup smashed over her head and face, Iris Qiu was firmly hit by this, her forehead instantly swollen and high, and her eyes were in tears.

"Niangniang spare her life!" Iris Qiu couldn't care about the wound, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Empress Chen was angry, and the remaining intact objects in her hand were all smashed by her towards Yuanqiu.

Kite Qiu didn't dare to dodge, so she could only bear it.

"Useless things, ruined the good things of this palace!"

Iris choked back tears, full of grievances: "Niangniang, that birthday character is really written like that." ”

"Do you dare to talk back?" Empress Chen grimaced, raised her hand and slapped again, "There are so many ways to write the word Shou, why did you choose this kind of writing that will cause criticism? Say, do you have the intention to murder the palace? You were also sent by Liu Xianxu?"

Since Qingchu, who has been with her for many years, has defected, it is difficult for her to trust the people around her anymore, and now she is even more of a soldier, and she regards Liu Guifei as a beast of flood.

Iris kept begging for mercy, but Queen Chen seemed to have lost her mind, pinched Iris Qiu's neck, and said hysterically: "You cheap, why are you plotting to kill this palace?"

The sound of the skin opening and the painful wail of Kite Qiu made the palace people kneeling outside the door tremble.

Previously, they only thought that the queen had a bad temper and was not easy to serve, but they didn't know when the queen became so tyrannical and creepy.

When Kite Qiu was carried back to the palace maid's room, there was no finished meat on her body.

A few palace maids who were good friends with her on weekdays hid on the side and whispered in their ears, lamenting Queen Chen's ruthlessness.

fell in the eyes of Iris Qiu, but when they were falling into the well, they turned their heads fiercely and glared at them, and their voices were sharp and sharp: "Look at what! Don't think that if Niangniang punishes me, you can take the opportunity to take the position!"

Several palace maids were dumbfounded, exchanged glances, and went out with ugly faces.

After closing the door, several people still had palpitations, and a tall and thin palace maid was angry: "I really think of myself as a character." ”

The rest tugged at her sleeves and motioned for her to be quiet.

The thin and tall palace maid pursed her lips, but still lowered her volume: "This Zhaojin Palace really can't stay anymore, one is crazier than the other." ”

When several palace maids saw her so bold, they were all frightened and turned pale and pulled her away quickly.

Iris Qiu was lying on the bed, her face distorted, and she moved her body slightly, and it was painful to the bone.

She bit her lip tightly, blood beading from her pale lips, and the muscles of her hand holding the bed rail bulged.

She is unwilling, she still has to rise to the top, and she can't fold here.

The night sky is deep, black clouds are shrouded, and tonight's Zhaojin Palace is exceptionally silent.
