After the Shangyuan Festival, Daqi's political affairs are slowly on the right track, and Xiao Shaotang is getting busier and busier.

Spring ploughing, trimming the river embankment, and reorganizing the barracks occupied most of his time.

Another minister wrote to the emperor asking the emperor to open Enke this year and select pillars for the imperial court, but the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites objected on the grounds that it was not in line with the ancestral system in order to show his talent, and the court quarreled over this matter for several days, but it was not decided.

Bai Chenghuan saw that he was working hard, so he didn't leave the palace again, stayed quietly in the palace to raise the baby, and Li and Liang Sixian entered the palace from time to time every day to accompany him, and he didn't feel bored.

It's just that every time she sees Liang Sixian smiling, she feels very uncomfortable, so she simply asks Liang Sixian to prepare for marriage at home, and she doesn't have to enter the palace from time to time.

The date of this matter between the Weiguo Mansion and the Liang Guogong Mansion has been chosen, and it is March 18.

But the Weiguo Mansion did not deliver news to the palace, and Bai Chenghuan first heard about it from the princess of Anxi County, who came to visit her in the palace.

When Princess Anxi County talked about this, her face was also full of embarrassment:

“…… It is said that the auspicious date of the prince of Weiguo has settled, and he should come to tell the queen mother first, so it is very disrespectful to be silent......"

Bai Cheng greeted her with a somewhat inquiring gaze, and his smile was extraordinarily graceful:

"It's okay, this palace has known about this for a long time. It's just that the Duchess of Weiguo has been tired recently and is unwilling to publicize it, so the palace is not much disturbing, and the princess is too worried. ”

"That's really a courtier's belly with a careful heart, it's really a shame!"

Princess Anxi County hurriedly smiled and covered it with words.

After the king of Anxi left, Shao Hui was afraid that Bai Chenghuan would be sad, so he quietly said to Bai Chenghuan:

"Niangniang, if you say the words of the princess of Anxi County, don't take it to heart, Xu Shizi and Miss Liang Si's marriage, it is impossible for them not to tell your ......"

"She's testing me, so I naturally won't take it to heart, so you don't need to worry. ”

Although the princess of Anxi County covered it well, she still saw it clearly.

Bai Chenghuan stood up and walked slowly in the main hall, and his words were ethereal:

"Shake Hui...... In fact, the sadness in my heart is now a pool of stagnant water, even if there are things that make me sad in this world, it will no longer stir up the same waves as before. The prince of Weiguo is married, and it doesn't matter if they don't tell me, I won't make them sad. ”

Shaking Hui listened to these words, although she was glad that the queen mother finally wanted to open up, she couldn't help but feel desolate in her heart.

At the beginning, the Xu family was so good to the queen's mother, even better than their own daughter, but now they are turning their faces when they say that they will turn their faces, and they will wipe out all the previous friendships.

Is it so easy to change people's hearts?

Shao Hui didn't know what to say, and stood aside silently to accompany her.

When Bai Chenghuan turned around and walked back again, Shao Hui found that her eyes gradually sank again, faintly with a murderous aura:

"But I will never let people take this opportunity to suppress the Weiguo Mansion! So Shaohui, you have to keep in mind that if someone also comes to test you and wants to speculate about my attitude from you, you must tell her that whoever dares to touch the Weiguo Mansion is my enemy!"

Shao Hui hurriedly lowered her head:

"Slave remember!"

Bai Chenghuan nodded, and simply said to Shao Hui more clearly:

"I know the temperament of these people very well - as long as the emperor and I show a little dissatisfaction with the Weiguo Mansion, they can do everything possible to tear down the Weiguo Mansion and step on the dust!"

Shao Hui looked at Bai Chenghuan in surprise:

"Such a terrible ......"

"It's so terrible! These ministers, you step on me, I step on you, in order to achieve their own goals and interests, they can do whatever it takes!"

In the past, by Xiao Shaoyun's side, Bai Chenghuan had not seen this kind of thing.

As long as the emperor no longer favors the Weiguo Mansion, the phrase "the wall falls down and everyone pushes" will be taken to the extreme by these people!

After Bai Chenghuan expressed his attitude, no matter how many doubts and resentment he had in his heart, Shao Hui still beat the people inside and outside the Huaqing Palace.

No matter how people outside the palace speculated, after all, there was no sign of the emperor and the Weiguo Mansion opposing each other, and those who had some careful thoughts could only press it down and stop it.

After the princess of Anxi County returned home, she also discussed it with the king of Anxi County.

"According to the queen's words, I can't find fault with it - after all, she is now the queen's honor, and she can't leave the palace easily, even if she lets people go to the Weiguo Mansion, it is also the queen's messenger, and she is indeed going to make a big move to usher in the send-off, and the Duchess of Weiguo is tired. ”

"However, according to ordinary people's thoughts, at this time, isn't it true that the more frequent you are, the more grace you can show?"

The king of Anxi County has been able to maintain his glory and wealth in decades of strong winds and waves, and the four words "cautious and careful" have always been his motto.

He pondered the princess's words several times, and said:

"That's it, that's it, the Weiguo Mansion didn't have a grudge against our family because of Ming Yu's incident, whether their family is good or not, we can't entangle it now. ”

"You don't have to be tempted in front of the queen mother in the future, although she is young, but her mind is deep, if you annoy her, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Princess Anxi sneered:

"Now that I know that I am afraid, when I was delusional about marrying your good concubine to the prince of Weiguo, why wasn't I afraid of making enemies?"

The king of Anxi County is most angry about this matter, and he has to slap the table when he mentions it:

"Is it because I'm delusional? It's obviously the abolition of the emperor's pit! It's our pearl, I haven't even beaten Xu Chenglin's idea, let alone Mingyu! Marriage is not revenge, I'm crazy?!"

His concubine, the county lord Mingyu, was a stupid paralyzed child, and he did everything possible to ask for the title of the county lord for her, just so that she could have a dependency for the rest of her life, without worrying about food and clothing, and never thought of marrying her into someone else's family to be looked down upon.

But where did he think that on the day of the abolition of the emperor, in order to force the Weibei Hou Mansion to marry Bai Chenghuan, who was still a madwoman, to the prince of Qin, he actually took his concubine to Xu Chenglin, and forced the Weibei Hou to choose one of the two, either to marry a righteous daughter or to marry a daughter-in-law!

In the end, the Weibei Marquis Mansion compromised and let the emperor take a madwoman to disgust the prince of Qin as he wished.

Although it later turned out that this was a family affair made in heaven, the king of Anxi County has always been worried in his heart, lest the Weibei Hou Mansion hold a grudge.

You must know that with the current grace of the Weiguo Mansion, it is not easy to give him eye medicine in front of the emperor.

Therefore, if the Weiguo Mansion can lose the emperor's favor and the closeness of the empress, it will definitely be a good thing for the Anxi County Palace.

It's just that depending on the situation, the grace of the Weiguo Mansion will not decline for a while.

The king of Anxi himself sulked for a while, and couldn't help but think of the culprit, the deposed emperor Xiao Shaoyun.

Xiao Shaoyun pitted him, and he did that to him that day, he was an out-and-out faint king, why is he still enjoying wealth in the capital with the title of Marquis of Xihai?

Dream of his big head, such a person should be thrown into the wilderness of the West Sea to suffer and suffer!

He will never let this faint gentleman have a good time!

So before the twentieth day of the first lunar month, someone in the court mentioned the matter of abolishing the emperor's fiefdom again.

However, his words were far less gentle than those of Taishi Xi Zeyan, which meant that he hoped that the emperor would pick a barren fief for the Marquis of Xihai and let him go to the fief to suffer.

Xiao Shaotang only agreed to consider it, and then went back to the harem to discuss this matter with Bai Chenghuan.

"Enke's matter, I think we can add a department, after all, Xihe's five-year Enke is a smash, and no pillars have been selected. But this fiefdom, Huanhuan, I want to hear what you mean. ”

Daqi is not very restricted from women's political participation because of the founding queen Dugu, and Xiao Shaotang told Bai Chenghuan when he was free to do things in the court, which also made her a pastime and saved her from being bored.

But even so, Bai Chenghuan was still surprised.

It's not that she doesn't know that Xiao Shaotang wants to kill Xiao Shaoyun's heart, but he came to discuss this matter with her.

An indescribable feeling rushed out from the bottom of his heart, and Bai Chenghuan did not deliberately hide his doubts:

"You can decide this matter, why do you want to consult with me?"

Xiao Shaotang met her gaze calmly:

"I'm afraid that I will make him worse than dead, and after many years, you will relent, and you will be resentful of me. ”

That's his concern.

No matter how much he hates Xiao Shaoyun, it is undeniable that Xiao Shaoyun once occupied the same position as him in Cheng Huan's heart.

Although all the past of Xiao Shaoyun and Xu Chenghuan has become dust, what he got is a new Bai Chenghuan.

But he doesn't know when Cheng Huan's heart will be completely free of the shadow of that person.

This is the same reason that he didn't deal with Han's request and caused Xiao Shaoyun to die.

Bai Chenghuan was completely stunned, stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing:

"Why do you think that?"

"Since I can follow you to take away his country, why did you say that you are soft-hearted to him after many years?"

"I'm just scared...... I'm afraid you still have a little bit of concern for him in your heart......"

Xiao Shaotang sighed, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and didn't know how to explain his feelings clearly.

Bai Chenghuan broke his hand away, held his face with both hands, looked at his bright eyes, and said solemnly:

"You don't have to be afraid of anything, all the past is over. ”

"Fail me, hurt me, you have already paid it back for me. And now, the punishment he has to face comes from the subjects he has harmed. ”

She let go of her hand, sat up straight, and said softly:

"So, banish him to the sea. Never let him come back, because Daqi has no place for him. ”

Xiao Shaotang looked at her eyes, black and white were as clear as glass, and there was really only a shadow of him reflected in them.

She really won't be soft on that person many years later, because she is still soft-hearted at this moment after all.

However, banishing that man like this, and never having to see him again in his life, is also a good result.

He leaned his cheek over again, rubbed it in her palm, and agreed:

"Okay, then exile him overseas, and never allow him to set foot on the land of Daqi again for the rest of his life!"

The next morning, the minister, who was desperate about the matter, received a reply from the emperor.

"Xiao Shaoyun, Marquis of Xihai, as a descendant of the Xiao family, was once the son of the Great Qi Emperor, but he disregarded the common people and the people, so that the heavens were angry, disasters were frequent, and the people were not able to make a living!

"Today, in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people, Xiao Shaoyun, the Marquis of the West Sea, will be exiled overseas for the rest of his life, and he will not be allowed to enter the land of Daqi again!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked-

To the west of the sea, it is all endless sea water and an isolated island of the sea!

It was the southwesternmost place in Daqi, thousands of miles away from the capital, and it was indeed the greatest punishment for a person to be trapped on the sea there for a lifetime.

Xihaihou, it seems that this title is by no means just talk!

The ministers who were picked up by the king of Anxi County were naturally satisfied, but Taishi Xi Zeyan disagreed very much.

Although he didn't want to abolish the emperor's life, what is the difference between sending him to such a place and asking for his life?

He was very unwilling to ask the emperor to think twice.

Xiao Shaotang is crisp and neat:

"If the Taishi doesn't agree, then the Marquis of Xihai doesn't have to leave the sea, stay in Beijing for a long time. ”

But in this way, Taishi Xi is even more unwilling, leaving the abolished emperor in the capital, it is estimated that he will die faster than letting him go to the West Sea!

After many trade-offs, Taishi Xi had to agree, but he bargained with the emperor again, and won many preferential treatments for the abolished emperor, such as being able to bring servants, etc., otherwise it would be a dead end to send the abolished emperor to that wild place.

The holy decree was sent to the Xihai Hou Mansion, and the servant who passed the decree was very worried in his heart, lest the Xihai Hou disobey the decree.

But Xiao Shaoyun listened to him read out the holy decree, just looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, then accepted the holy decree and thanked the lord Longen.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

The chamberlain left with doubts, and Xiao Shaoyun took the holy decree to Wei Wan.

"Just let me go alone, you're free. ”

It's just that at this moment, his mood was a little indistinguishable whether it was relief or loss.

God let him get lucky to live again, but after all, he was left alone in this world.

He never got what he was looking for.

He may have been born with a tragedy.

Wei Wan didn't look at it, and threw the holy decree aside.

"Since I have decided to entangle with you to death, what can this holy decree decide? Isn't it the West Sea? I will go with you. ”

"Are you going to go with me? Are you crazy? If you do go with me, you will regret it!"

He roared at her:

"That's the West Sea, the place of exile, not the palace of the capital! There is no glory and wealth, only the danger of dying at any time!"

Until now, Xiao Shaoyun had no way to understand Wei Wan's insane persistence!

The ridicule on Wei Wan's face was still exactly the same as usual, but there was a faint flame in her eyes:

"Regret? Why should I regret it? Have you ever regretted Xu Chenghuan? It's nothing, Xiao Shaoyun, I'm not crazy! It's just that we are exactly the same kind of people!"

"I've never set foot on the sea in the far west in my life, and it's not bad to be able to see it for the rest of my life, who let ......"

Wei Wan smiled, the sentence "I'm in love with you" was unspeakable after all, and what blurted out was still a sharp thorn:

"Who let me not be in front of you, torture you to death, and be unwilling? You have ruined my life, just let you go, impossible!"
