112. Background exposed
Baili Renaud didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and stared at her face for a long time, which made An Xiaoxiao more and more nervous, feeling as if he had admired every pore.
After a while, he let go of her and said lightly: "It's not good to look like this!" β
An Xiaoxiao was relieved, and couldn't help but rejoice that her father and mother had made her a little ordinary, which made Baili Renault disgusted.
Also, he himself looks so bewitching, and the harem is full of charming beauties, where can he see her?
She smiled and proposed, "Your Majesty, then I'd better go down to sleep!" β
Baili Renaud looked at him threateningly: "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us outside the road?" If you don't sleep in the same bed, you will definitely be discovered. β
An Xiaoxiao sighed in frustration: "Then what should I do?" β
Baili Renault glanced at the bed: "Sleep here!" β
When he had finished speaking, he lay down with his back to her and said no more.
An Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and then lay down beside him resignedly. Just in case, she wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, leaving not a single gap.
The candles on the walls burned out, and the room was pitch black.
Although it was back to back, she shared a bed with a strange man for the first time in her life, but she couldn't sleep anyway. As a result of her high spirits, it was getting hotter and hotter under the covers, and she began to sweat profusely. There are pipes buried under the floor tiles of this dormitory, and the hot air is transmitted to the house through the pipes by burning charcoal from the outside, so don't look at it now that it's winter, it's warm in the Qifeng Palace.
No, I can't hold it! An Xiaoxiao lifted the corner of the quilt to dissipate heat. After a while, it was all opened, and only a little bit was put on the stomach.
The fever problem was solved, but she still couldn't sleep, so she had to turn it over and over as carefully as possible.
A new problem is coming again, it seems that it is still a little cold without a quilt! She began to move into the quilt again.
Suddenly, the man next to her turned around and grabbed her by the waist.
She was so frightened that she couldn't move, only to realize that at some point, Baili Renault had also been covered in the same quilt.
"Is it cold?" In the darkness, his deep voice came to his ears.
"It's not cold, it's not ......cold," An Xiaoxiao said as she moved outward, trying to stay away from him, but her waist suddenly tightened. His threatening voice sounded again: "If I move again, I can't guarantee what I'll do next?" β
She froze and stopped moving.
After this stop, the dormitory was quiet again, and she could hear the heartbeat of herself and Baili Renault "plopping and plopping".
In order to ease the atmosphere, she asked curtly, "Your Majesty, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" β
"You're moving around around you, how can I sleep?" He let out a long sigh: "It's really grinding! β
Why does this sound so lovely? An Xiaoxiao closed her eyes tightly like a thief, and her body was so stiff that she was about to cramp.
Baili Renault suddenly smiled lowly, and hot air came from above her head: "You are afraid of me? β
An Xiaoxiao responded succinctly: "Hmm! β
Baili Renault did not speak again, and the dormitory returned to silence again. When An Xiaoxiao thought he was asleep, she heard him say: "You look much better when you laugh than when you cry." I can't stand the way you cry, so you can sleep in peace! β
Only then did An Xiaoxiao understand what he meant when he said that he was not good-looking. However, how did this sentence, which should have reassured her, upset her upset? I always feel that there is something in his words that I can't taste.
With such a question, my eyelids gradually became heavy.
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, when An Xiaoxiao woke up, she found that her whole body was shrunk in Baili Renault's arms.
She raised her head in a startled and naturally reacted, just hitting the chin of Baili Renault above, with a muffled "bang".
"What are you doing?" Baili Renault touched his chin and looked at her angrily.
An Xiaoxiao hurriedly shrank back a few inches.
After pulling away a little, I can see more clearly. I saw that his black eyes were like stars, his sword eyebrows were in his sideburns, his jet-black hair was draped vertically over his shoulders, and except for a slight bruise on his chin like a knife, there was not the slightest flaw on his whole face.
An Xiaoxiao secretly sighed demonically, and then involuntarily retreated a little, leaning her back against the wall.
Baili Renault narrowed his eyes dangerously, and was about to speak, when he heard a shrill voice outside shouting softly: Emperor, Emperor......
This is the rule, and every time he arrives, a eunuch who sleeps will wake him up. He glanced at An Xiaoxiao hatefully again, and replied, "I'm up!" β
The door squeaked open, and the palace maids and eunuchs rushed in with toiletries. Although they all lowered their heads and looked respectful, An Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but be shy.
Baili Renault saw her grabbing the quilt to cover her face, leaving only a pair of sparkling round eyes, looking indescribably cute. He amusedly ordered, "What are you going to do?" Get up and freshen up for me. β
An Xiaoxiao reluctantly put down the quilt and got out.
After some washing, she began to dress Baili Renault. She was also skilled at this work five years ago, and after quickly putting on a dragon robe for him, she straightened up his collar again.
Baili Renault stood upright, at her fiddling. She straightened it out, and suddenly saw a thin red line around his neck, buried deep in his underwear.
"What is this?"
She curiously tugged at the red thread and was about to pull it out to see, but her hand was suddenly held by Baili Renault.
She looked up inexplicably, but saw him looking at her with a smirk, and asked in a strange tone, "Are you sure you want to watch it now?" If you read it, you must accept it! β
It's obviously ridiculous, why is there seriousness in the depths of his eyes?
An Xiaoxiao blinked and withdrew her hand: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it." β
She continued to dress him as if nothing had happened, but she didn't miss the disappointment that flashed in his eyes.
β¦β¦
A few days later.
The people of the capital of Sitong are waiting for one thing, that is, the Marquis of Jincheng, who has guarded the border for five years, is going to return to Beijing.
In the past five years, the Marquis of Jincheng has taken advantage of the prestige of the Mu family's army, repelled the alien army exiled due to the internal strife in the north several times at the border pass, successfully guarded the safety of the people in the border city and even the Sitong country, and became a general admired by everyone.
Although his return to Beijing was a bit sudden, ordinary people thought that it was because the situation at the border was gradually stabilizing that Hou Ye could return to Beijing to see his family with confidence. It is only when some high-level officials in the court know that the Marquis of Jincheng has returned this time, I am afraid that he is seeking justice for his own family.
Huo Yao saw that the Marquis of Jincheng had not yet entered the capital, and he had already stirred up such a boil among the people, and he couldn't help but worry about Baili Renault's situation. If the conditions proposed by the Marquis of Jincheng are too difficult, I don't know what to do. Maybe it was a mistake for Emperor Shi An to choose to support the Marquis of Jincheng during his reign, and the high merit is indeed reassuring!
In the speculation of a group of people, it finally came the day when the Marquis of Jincheng returned to Beijing.
The gate of the capital city of Sitong Kingdom was opened, and the whole city was immersed in the atmosphere like a festival, and the return of the hero was greeted happily.
The Marquis of Jincheng went to the court to see the emperor, and the feelings of the monarch and the ministers were naturally to be performed in place, and the overwhelming rewards were also indispensable, and the celebration banquet was also held ceremoniously. After several lay-ups, in the dead of night, the two of them had an unknown conversation.
"Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor!"
"Marquis of Jincheng, what are you doing?"
Baili Renault looked at Mu Chengxiu who was kneeling on the ground in surprise. This old guy suddenly came to this hand, and it seems that what he asked for is not small.
Although Mu Chengxiu was kneeling, his waist was still straight, and he bowed again: "The minister has a secret hidden for many years, this secret criminal has deceived the king, and he has to ask the emperor to punish him!" β
Baili Renault's eyes sank like water, and he slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and then said lightly: "Whether it is a bully or not, Rong Zhen will judge after listening to it." β
β¦β¦
"What? Mu Yige is the son of Mu Feiyang, the general of Zhenguo? After Huo Yao was shocked for a long time, he came back to his senses and sighed: "The world is really unpredictable! β
Mu Chengxiu said that Mu Yige was seriously ill when he was five years old, and he was terminally ill and had no medicine. Mu Feiyang had to resort to the way of ghosts and gods. Xiangshi said that his father and son were at odds with each other and had to be separated before they could be saved. So Mu Feiyang announced his son's death, but in fact, he secretly changed his son's name and sent him to other places. After that, Mu Feiyang died for the country, Mu Chengxiu didn't want the Mu family's blood to flow out, and he didn't want his brother to be guilty of bullying the king, so he regarded Mu Yige as his concubine. β
Huo Yao said with a smile: "How much does the emperor believe in the words of the Marquis of Jincheng?" β
Baili Renault also smiled: "What do you say?" β
"The minister thinks that the emperor must believe it all!"
The word "need" was used very well, and Baili Renault and Huo Yao looked at each other and smiled, tacitly. This is obviously a mess left by Emperor Shi Jin, and unfortunately Baili Renault picked it up. If there was no An Xiaoxiao, Mu Chengxiu would have decided to rot this secret into his stomach. However, now that Baili Renault owes the Mu family an explanation, he can no longer use this matter to attack the Mu family. Of course, Mu Chengxiu can only make up a lie about a Xiangshi, because the truth will disgrace Emperor Shijin, although he has been buried in the ground, Baili Renault does not necessarily respect him as an uncle, but this is always the face of the royal family, and it must be maintained.
As early as when Mu Chengxiu sent a letter to Baili Renault, he had already planned everything, so that Baili Renault had to drill into the set of the box.
After Huo Yao smiled, he returned to a serious look and asked, "What does the emperor plan to do?" β
Now the plan can only restore Mu Yige's identity, and because of his identity as the orphan of the general of Zhenguo, it is indispensable to be named a marquis or something. It's just that the Jian family will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they will definitely take advantage of this to attack Mu Chengxiu from the head, so how to appease the Jian family?
Baili Renault looked up at the window, it was cloudy tonight, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds. He asked in a low voice, "Did she already know the truth?" β
β¦β¦
The fact that Mu Yige was the orphan of the general of Zhenguo quickly spread throughout the capital, and he had been named the Marquis of Chengzhi by the emperor as compensation for the merits of the general of Zhenguo.
At the same time, Jian Yaochi was promoted to a concubine because of a series of specious good qualities such as virtuous and virtuous virtue, surpassing An Xiaoxiao and becoming the first person in the harem.
When these two news reached An Xiaoxiao's ears at the same time from Xia Qing's babbling, Baili Renault was by her side.
An Xiaoxiao only raised her eyes in surprise, and then looked at Baili Renault, who was also looking at her lightly.
After Xia Qing finished delivering the news, he felt the atmosphere of gunpowder in the room, and hurriedly pulled out a reason to flash people. The same is true for Huixin and other palace maids and eunuchs.
After everyone was done, Baili Renault asked in a deep voice: "You really know the Tao for a long time!" β
An Xiaoxiao shrugged: "That's right, before I decided to get engaged to Yige, he had already told everything honestly. β
"Do you know who he is, but do you decide to marry him?"
"I'm married to a person, not an identity!"
There was a hint of chill in Baili Renault's deep eyes: "You really like him, but I'm afraid that others may not treat you the same!" β
An Xiaoxiao thought about it, and her face sank: "I believe Yige, he definitely didn't know about Mu Chengxiu's plan before. Andβ" She paused, and added, "and if he really wants to use me, he doesn't have to tell me where he came from, does he?" β
Baili Renault's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "You believe him like this?" β
An Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.
"Good!" Baili Renault stood up with a "whew", looked at her coldly, and said, "Then you should bear the bitter fruits he brings!" β
He turned around and galloped without looking back.
