Chapter 391: Visiting in the middle of the night
A few days ago, the old emperor ran out of tea, and the five princes went to deliver it.
The fifth prince deliberately used a joking tone, saying that he wanted the glass flower in his father's palace, but if his father didn't give it, the tea would be gone.
His tone was very good, as if he was coquettish, the old emperor only felt like an ant climbing, uncomfortable and tight, and he didn't want to ask Gonggong Li to go to his palace to fetch the glass flowers.
Although the glazed flower bowl is precious, it is not so surprising that this kind of treasure is flowing in the imperial palace, and the emperor has always kept it in the palace, mainly because this glazed flower cup is a relic of the emperor's mother.
Rong Taishi nodded with satisfaction.
Two years ago, Jing Xuan had been giving the tea to the emperor and spat the powder extracted from the unique psychedelic flowers of the Western Regions.
The old emperor was clearly terminally ill by now.
Several people kept talking, and before they knew it, they were discussing it until the end of the day.
Bai Drew returned home tiredly, walked into the study, waved his hand to let the subordinate go down, and took off his outer robe, threw it on the chair at will, and rubbed his eyebrows.
The plan of the Fifth Highness and Taishi Rong looked quite thorough, but he was indeed a little uneasy, a kind of intuitive uneasiness, and he didn't know if he would be able to get the desired result in the end if he made such a desperate bet.
White Drew had a headache.
The study had not yet been lit, and Bai Drew touched the fire fold and lit it himself.
He likes to light his own candles and watch the light slowly dispel the darkness.
Bai Drew lit a dozen candles in a row, maybe he was old and his eyesight was not good, so he liked to light more, the lights were bright, and the room was bright.
He put down the fire fold and turned around, and was stunned for a moment.
At the yellow rosewood round table, I don't know when a person sat down.
The man was dressed in black, and seemed to blend in with the darkness, only the silver mask covering his face was exceptionally clear and dazzling in the yellowish candlelight.
The man in black tasted tea by himself, as if it was his own mansion.
Bai Drew was startled, but his face remained calm, and he subconsciously wanted to go out and call someone.
At this time, the man suddenly spoke, "Lord Bai, don't come to harm." β
Bai Drew looked at the man in black for a while, stood still, and said vigilantly: "The layman came to visit in the middle of the night, what is the so-called matter?" β
The man in black is Gu Huaisheng.
He sneaked into Bai Dru's house and sat there early to wait, in order to surprise Lord Bai.
The corners of Gu Huaisheng's lips were slightly raised, he put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head to look at Bai Dru, and said leisurely: "Lord Bai might as well sit down and talk." β
Bai Drew wanted to say that he didn't have anything to sit down with him to talk about, but when the afterglow touched Gu Huaisheng's cold eyes, he couldn't help but tremble his legs.
is different from the warm appearance of the day, the Qishan monk at this moment is dressed in black, although he is smiling, but his eyebrows and eyes are not much warm, like an indifferent killer, his body is compelling, which makes people frightened.
After a moment's hesitation, Drew walked over and sat down across from him.
With the god in front of him sneaking into his study unconsciously, if he wanted to kill himself, I am afraid that he would die just now, so Bai Drew judged that the Qishan monk should not want his life this time.
Gu Huaisheng gentlemanly poured a cup of tea for Bai Dru and handed it over, saying, "Lord Bai don't have to be nervous, I came this time because I have a deal I want to make with Lord Bai." β
Bai Dru's face was still stable, and he had been thinking about it in his heart, and when he heard him talk about the transaction, he couldn't help frowning, "The old man thinks that there is no transaction he can do with the layman." β
Gu Huaisheng was not in a hurry, took out the account book in his arms and handed it forward.
Bai Drew glanced at it suspiciously, but he couldn't help but take it and flipped it over, and when he flipped it, he was stunned, and then his eyes enlarged, looking incredulous.
How could it be, how could there be a second one?
Isn't the last one in the hands of Master Rong?
During Bai Dru's stunned, Gu Huaisheng had already taken the book back lightly, put it back in his arms, and said, "Now, can we make a deal?" β
"What do you want?" Drew asked.
Gu Huaisheng rubbed the edge of the cup and said, "It's not good, I just need a little help from an adult." β
After listening to Gu Huaisheng's "little favor", Bai Drew sat up suddenly, and his voice couldn't help but rise, "Where are you doing a little favor, you are clearly letting the old man rebel?" β
When Gu Huaisheng said that the person who was loyal to him had always been the Fifth Prince, Bai Drew was not too excited, and the Qishan monks had been checking so frequently recently, they should have found out about these.
But he actually let him rebel, this is not good, things have been arranged, just one step away, as long as the five princes can successfully ascend the throne, what is there to put in his previous black history.
"What is a mutiny?" Gu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows, "Those who know the times are Junjie, this truth is clearer than anyone else, and besides, this kind of thing, it's not the first time that Lord Bai has done it, isn't it?" Why be so excited. β
Bai Deru's beard was trembling, and he turned his head and said: "No, this time is different, there is also an account book, in the hands of the Taishi, if the old man has bad intentions, the Taishi Rong will definitely present the account book, so that the Baifu can be copied and beheaded." β
He is not Tang Heng, Tang Heng does not have much control in the hands of King Liang, and King Liang was indeed at the end of the crossbow at that time, the probability of Tang Heng's betrayal success is very high, he is different.
After following Rong Taishi for the past few years, he can see that Rong Taishi's city government is very deep and his influence is also very wide, but he has been keeping his head in obscurity.
Gu Huaisheng disagreed, "Didn't Lord Bai forget, I also have the account book in my hand, if Lord Bai is unwilling to cooperate, the end will be different?" β
Bai Drew didn't speak, his face was gloomy, and he really wanted to vomit blood in his heart, how could one or two of them take this to threaten themselves, they are all unfilial sons, unfilial sons.
Gu Huaisheng continued: "Does Lord Bai think that if the account book in my hand is poked out, Taishi Rong has the ability to protect you?" β
Bai Drew was stunned, he did have such a balance just now, he felt that if he was really stabbed out, he and Rong Taishi were in the same boat, and helped him a lot, Rong Taishi was very likely to bother to protect himself.
There are many disciples under the name of Taishi Rong, and there are even more promising, all of whom have a good relationship with the Taishi Mansion and have a wide range of contacts.
"Hehe," Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but sneer, "Lord Bai is still so naΓ―ve. β
"Shou Guogong's fate, didn't Lord Bai see it? As far as I know, Shou Guogong's two sons have also done things for Rong Taishi, but when something happened to their family, you see, did Rong Taishi make a move? β
Rong Taishi not only did not make a move, but watched coldly, because Rong Taishi also saw early in the morning that the two people were not of great use, so he kicked them away after using them, and he didn't have the energy to care about useless people.
Bai Dru's hand hidden under his sleeve trembled slightly, he was different from Shou Guogong, he had real skills.
In fact, he was very sure, thinking that after he was imprisoned, Master Rong would protect him, because he was deeply involved, and on the contrary, he also knew that Master Rong had many tricks.
