Chapter Eighty-Three: The Queen's Decree
Bai Xiaoman crossed his arms with both hands, made a gesture of rejection, and said frankly: "I know that you have 10,000 reasons to do this, and my most appropriate reaction should be to be tolerant and understanding, after all, nothing happened to me, and you have also repaid your old lover and benefactor."

Qingyang Xiaocen looked at her with twisted eyebrows, wanting to get closer to her, he didn't like this kind of estrangement between the two, and he had just raised his foot and hadn't taken half a step before he was stopped by Bai Xiaoman with his eyes.
"I'm not done yet, and I think I should understand, but I can't let this matter pass. Just because you left me behind and ran to another woman in the midst of the war, I had enough reason to let you go. β
Qingyang Xiaocen opened his mouth, and without waiting to speak, Bai Xiaoman made a 'shhh' gesture and continued: "In the second half of the night, there was a riot around Qingyuan, the sound was earth-shattering, I was woken up, thinking that the Zheng family army had broken the city, and everyone in Jincheng had to face the problem of life and death, maybe in the next second, the door of my room would be kicked open by the rebels, and I was going to fight them to the death, at that moment, I thought you were the first to think of you, I thought you could be by my side, I have martial arts to protect myself, but I am also an ordinary person, I want someone to protect me in this difficult time. β
"Because you are my lover, I trust you and rely on you, but you are not by my side, but fortunately, it was later confirmed that it was not a broken city, but a small riot, and my life was not in danger. Isn't this kind of ending also the basis for your heart-wrenching words? I'm fine anyway, and there's no situation outside anyway, so why should I be pestering anymore and not being considerate to you at all? β
"But in my heart, your behavior, whether you have old feelings for Ruoyun or not, has touched my bottom line, and you left me when I was in a difficult situation, and I can't accept this alone. I also know that you are very eloquent, and that you feel very reasonable, and that you have been wronged by my accusations, but I will not listen to a word, let alone try to convince me that you are right. I have a small belly, I love to hold grudges, my brain capacity is not enough, I can't turn a corner, if you still want to quarrel, I will accompany you. β
After Bai Xiaoman finished speaking, Qingyang Xiaocen gradually showed a very guilty look on his face: "I don't want to quarrel with you." β
Bai Xiaoman turned around and didn't look at him: "You go out, I came back suddenly, the bedroom I lived in before was not cleaned up, I don't want to go over, I feel very uncomfortable, and I can't treat my body badly anymore." I really don't want to see you now, as soon as I see your face, I can't suppress the anger and disappointment in my heart, I'm afraid that the two of us will quarrel and say hurtful things out of control. β
Qingyang Xiao Cen said in a deep voice: "You can stay in peace and rest in my bedroom, the injury on your leg is not healed yet." β
As soon as the words came out, Qingyang Xiaocen regretted it, and sure enough, Bai Xiaoman had already turned around coldly and didn't even look at him.
In Bai Xiaoman's mind, he must have complained about him even more, he didn't expect that Bai Xiaoman was still injured, his martial arts were greatly reduced, there was really something wrong, and his escape was restricted.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoman, I really didn't expect to hurt you so deeply. Whatever my reason, I shouldn't have left you without saying a word. Qingyang Xiaocen gave up defending herself, and simply apologized to her sincerely.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoman was still indifferent, Qingyang Xiaocen honestly explained his psychological activities: "I really regret it now, if I had told you before leaving, maybe you wouldn't have been so angry, but you finally fell asleep at the time, I couldn't bear to wake you up, and I wanted you to have a good rest." β
Bai Xiaoman turned 180 degrees on the stool, facing Qingyang Xiaocen, his eyes squinted, and he looked over.
Qingyang Xiaocen was stared at by her eyes, and her heart panicked, and she hurriedly explained all the circumstances and dishes: "I admit that my first thought when I received the news was that I couldn't tell you, because I did have a relationship with Ruoyun in the past two years, and I was afraid that you would be upset about it, because I really have nothing to do with her, and I don't want to hurt the relationship between us for this kind of unwarranted thing." β
Bai Xiaoman sneered very softly.
Qingyang Xiaocen saw that she always had this expression, she had already explained so much, and her anger was also rising a little, and she was afraid that if she said something angry, it would make Bai Xiaoman even more angry, so she turned her head to the side.
Bai Xiaoman also turned his back, the window was open, and a thin and cool autumn wind blew in, and a layer of shivering shivered all over his body.
After being so cold, Bai Xiaoman's mood gradually calmed down, just looking at the window in a daze, and some past events that he didn't want to mention were desperately squeezed into his mind.
For half a moment, neither of them spoke again, Bai Xiaoman moved his somewhat stiff legs, and said to himself: "I always thought that love was stronger than Jin, but in the future, I was always the one who was left behind." β
Qingyang Xiaocen heard it, and his heart was not good, and he was just about to speak, when he heard Fang Jingzhuo knocking on the door, his tone was very anxious: "Sir, someone came to the palace, it was at the behest of the queen's mother, and Miss Xuanbai entered the palace and was waiting in the main hall at the moment." β
Qingyang Xiaocen Hula stood up, glanced at Bai Xiaoman quickly, and walked to her side.
Bai Xiaoman looked surprised: "Queen Mother? What is she looking for me for? She hasn't even seen me! β
Qingyang Xiaocen patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go over and see the situation first." β
Bai Xiaoman still hadn't forgotten the quarrel with Qingyang Xiaocen just now, and now that the situation was urgent, he didn't say anything, but he was awkward in his heart, refusing to let him help him over, insisting on walking over by himself, and Qingyang Xiaocen had to follow beside him.
When they arrived at the main hall, everyone knelt down together to receive the order, the queen's words were very simple, that is, she heard that Bai Xiaoman had made a meritorious contribution to the rescue, and specially sent a reward, and wanted to invite her to the palace to thank her personally, and prepared a generous gift and a sumptuous banquet waiting for her.
Bai Xiaoman muttered in his heart: I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet, the generous gift is good, forget about the banquet, who still needs that meal!
The eunuch smiled and handed Yi Zhi into Bai Xiaoman's hand, and made a gesture of invitation: "White girl, please." β
No matter how they quarreled just now, Bai Xiaoman was helpless at this moment, and he couldn't help but look at Qingyang Xiaocen, and saw that he was also anxious.
"Father-in-law, the white girl still needs to tidy up her clothes, otherwise it will be rude to enter the palace to meet the queen." As soon as his hand touched Bai Xiaoman's wrist, the eunuch refused with a smile: "Don't bother, the queen mother has already prepared, not to mention, the white girl is a commoner, and she doesn't have too many requirements in terms of dress, and the queen mother is anxious, so the slave came over early in the morning, and I hope Mr. will forgive me." β
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoman had to follow him out, and just after taking two steps, Qingyang Xiaocen suddenly said: "Then let's enter the palace together, I'm tired of my father-in-law, let's go by the way." β
The eunuch smiled: "Okay." (To be continued.) )
