After going through the mystery of the 'hidden chalcedony wine' and the 'two wine cups' that were not solved in the end,

"It's really chalcedony, it tastes warm to drink, but I didn't expect the wine to be quite domineering."

With a slightly drunk state,

Bai Jingyin shook his wine glass and tasted.

She was propped up on the table with one hand on her cheeks at the moment, and Yuan Ruiming could clearly see her reddened cheeks, as well as the dark shadow cast by the long eyelashes under a pair of starry eyes,

Tangerine, wine, ambergris.

In addition, there is some unknown smell in the air, light and light, as if there is nothing, and it is definitely not emitted by mundane things such as spices.

Yuan Ruiming guessed that maybe it was the smell of Bai Jingyin's body, and involuntarily leaned forward and leaned on the table.

The distance between the two was also tightened because of this.

The ambiguous atmosphere rose in this way.

Yuan Ruiming looked at her quietly, and suddenly his heart moved, and somehow he had an idea and an impulse to reach out and touch the drunken face, and even raised his arm halfway,

At this moment,

"Hiccup—"

The smell of wine in your face,

Yuan Ruiming's whole person paused, and then his brows furrowed, and he fanned the air while hiding backwards.

All the ambiguity that has accumulated,

Because of a wine burp, the smoke vanished, and there was nothing left.

Bai Jingyin also sobered up now,

Shaking your head,

Finally the short 'standby' state is over.

"Really, aren't we talking about business, why did we even get drunk?" Bai Jingyin patted his face and quickly returned to his usual appearance. "Misstep, let's continue the topic just now...... But where did you go? ”

"Continue."

Yuan Ruiming's face was like a palette, white, red, blue and black, and a nameless anger rose from his heart, and he spit out two words very sullenly.

"Oh yes, Continue, look at my head."

Bai Jingyin didn't notice Yuan Ruiming's abnormality, and after his thoughts were reconnected, he continued to get serious as if nothing had happened.

"No matter how you think about it, whoever thinks about it, the continuation of the string is the best choice for the Ling family. Ping's wife and Lili wronged the county lord of Anping, but in the way of remarrying, it not only ensured that the county lord was the only mistress of the general's mansion, but Prince Rong could say it on his side; and will not divorce his wife and tear his face with the Ministry of Works, and he will be infamous for abandoning from the beginning. Anyone with a little brain, who can think of this idea, will choose this point. ”

But there is a necessary and important premise for taking this road,

The continuation of the string will only occur on the basis of the death of the original match,

Otherwise, there would be no continuation.

"So you want me to allow you and Shao Jingyi to go to Hengyang because you expected that the Ling family would kill the An family."

"That's right, and just now I received a tip-off, and I quickly whipped a letter from the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed towards Hengyang, which made this conjecture more formal."

"Hengyang to the imperial capital is a long way up, and there is a great opportunity to start. Moreover, it was An's own willfulness and insistence on returning to the foreign family, and Ling Xiang condescended to personally write a letter to apologize to An's and persuade him to return, which can be regarded as enough face for the Ministry of Works. It will not affect the relationship between the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Ling Xiang, and it can also justifiably marry the county lord, killing two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds. ”

After saying that, Yuan Ruiming not only frowned,

"It's just that such a ruthless man, killing his wife because of power, is simply unworthy of being a human being."

"Even people like the emperor will think that the Ling family's behavior is inhumane, so let alone the An family and the Ministry of Industry? Then, you can congratulate the emperor on getting another old minister, and from then on, the wind and water will flourish, the imperial power will be stable, and it will not move like a mountain. ”

"Count you as talking."

Yuan Ruiming snorted coldly and said lightly.

"However, you should make it clearer what I mean by a person like Lian and what kind of person I am."

Soon he sensed that something was wrong with his words and asked.

"That's not the point." Bai Jingyin waved his hand and looked sloppy. "Important!"

Bai Jingyin suddenly stood up,

Propped his arms heavily on the table,

pretended to have a full sense of justice and awe-inspiring righteousness, and brainwashed Yuan Ruiming and said:

"The important thing is that I can let Ling Yugui succeed in his father and son, let the An family die unjustly, let the county lord of Anping fall into the clutches of traitors, and let the process of eradicating the Ling family's forces in these days be hindered, can it?!"

"No, no."

Yuan Ruiming looked at Bai Jingyin's exaggerated appearance full of righteous indignation, frowned, and cooperated.

It wasn't so much that he was shocked by this aura, but that he wanted to see what Bai Jingyin was thinking again.

"So!"

After Bai Jingyin raised his voice, he suddenly softened again, folded his hands and lay on the table, and blinked very sincerely, "Grant me two days off, and then dial Shao Jingyi to me, so that I can go to Hengyang to stop all this from happening, okay." ”

"Speaking of which, do you want me to allow an emperor to allow his concubines to leave the palace without permission with his ministers, or go to a place so far away from Hengyang?"

"Mm-hmm, that's right." Bai Jingyin's chick nodded like a peck of rice.

"If you take Zhao Yan there, I can consider it."

"How's that going to work?" Bai Jingyin didn't want to refuse, and when he saw Yuan Ruiming's face gloomy and the atmosphere was about to become wrong, he hurriedly explained: "It's not for any other reason, Zhao Yan is the leader of the emperor's secret guard after all, and he has the important task of protecting the emperor." Of course, the emperor is so skilled that you don't need others to protect you, but you can also prevent it from happening. Instead of letting Zhao Yan follow me, the two of us are always worried about the emperor's safety outside the palace, and we can't deal with the Ling family wholeheartedly, so it is better to let Shao Jingyi go with me, no matter what, he is also my brother-in-law and a trustworthy person. ”

"Are you really worried about my safety that you want to keep Zhao Yan in the palace?"

Yuan Ruiming couldn't believe it, but to be honest, when he heard that she cared about herself, the warmth in his heart was true.

"Of course!" Bai Jingyin patted his chest categorically.

Of course

Not exactly.

Bai Jingyin is shrewd in his heart, although it is true that in today's eventful season, it is one thing to not let the emperor have no one to protect him, and he doesn't want to let Chengying and Zhao Yan separate him from the palace and outside the palace is another thing.

But at the end of the day,

Or is it because Zhao Yan is not as dependent as Shao Jingyi?

With Zhao Yan, it is equivalent to having Yuan Ruiming's eyeliner by his side, and for Shao Jingyi, it is no problem for him to go to the house to reveal the tiles. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is probably like the difference between a strict father and a loving mother, so unconditionally, Bai Jingyin chose the latter.
