"If you do this, aren't you afraid that the regent will take your life if he finds out?"

He really wanted to know how such a smart woman would deal with the crisis in the future, after all, with the strength of her and the second prince, it was not enough to confront the regent, and who the final winner would be was no longer expected without guessing.

Hearing him mention the second prince, Wang Zixuan's face suddenly became bad, and his tone became unhappy, "This is not something you should consider, you just need to solve the queen, and the cooperation between the two of us will end here, no matter how we fight in the future, we are not allowed to mention this matter again, what do you think, prince." ”

She deliberately accentuated the last two words, reminding him that sitting in the position of the prince is blocking the way of the second prince, the two of them will always have a battle in the future, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the king should not be turned out at that time.

How could Gu Lingyu not understand what she meant, and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, even if you want to fight for this position in the future, I will rot in my stomach about the queen, and I won't say it." ”

"Very well, then I'll wait for your good news."

Wang Zixuan dressed up again and left Tianxiangju quickly, Gu Lingyu sat upstairs and looked at her back as she left in a hurry, looking indifferent.

"She's back, time flies so fast, how long can I stay with her here, if I can, it won't hurt for the rest of my life."

After speaking, he drank all the tea in his hand, as if he was drinking bitter wine.

，，，，，

Seven days later, the bell of Xiangguoji Temple rang, this is not an ordinary sound, but a death knell, once someone in the royal family died, this bell must be ringed.

It was a big bell at the top of the mountain, and it took more than a dozen middle-aged monks to ring it, and the sound was deafening and could be transmitted to the bottom of the mountain and to all corners of Yuancheng.

The people stopped what they were doing and listened carefully to the bell once, twice, three times,,, eight times.

"It's the queen who died." One of the middle-aged aunts said to herself.

There was another person standing beside her, who was about the same age as her, and shook his head, "What kind of illness is this, so many good doctors in the palace have not been cured, and it is a pity that the person is still gone." ”

"Let's go. Where is the royal one, it is something that ordinary people like us can discuss, some diseases come and go quickly, no matter how serious you are, they can always pull you back from the ghost gate, but some diseases can kill people even if they are a little wind and cold, and the water in this can be deep. ”

The man said something mysteriously, looked around for fear that someone would hear it, and then the two left side by side.

Outside the city where the bell came, Bai Xiyue sat in the carriage and fell asleep, and suddenly heard such a crisp sound, the whole person woke up, and said casually, "This bell is really good, crisp and pleasant, where did it come from." ”

The regent had a heavy face, "This is the death knell, it came from Xiangguo Temple, it was the queen who died." ”

"Queen Wang, how is it possible, didn't she just have a minor illness, how to say that it was gone, when we left, she was alive and well, and she still looked unpleasant."

"Also, how do you know that the queen is gone, in case it's someone else."

Bai Xiyue was a little surprised, her impression of the queen was still there, when she warned herself before, she hadn't seen her for a few months, how could she say that she didn't have it.

The regent patiently explained: "The death knell of Xiangguo Temple is only ringed by the royal family, he also has rules, if the emperor dies, it will ring nine times, the queen's position is second only to the emperor, so knock eight times, and push down in turn, the smaller the status, the smaller the number of bells." ”

It was the first time Bai Xiyue had heard of such a way of announcing death, but I thought about it, in a place like Tianyuan Kingdom, where transportation is inconvenient and information is not developed, if you want to notify important things, you should use this method.

No, she suddenly thought of something, if the queen died at this time, "Lord, the queen is gone at this time, how do I think it looks like someone did it on purpose, you just came back from a victory, at this time the emperor should hold a banquet to celebrate, and you will also be respected by all the people, but now the queen is gone, and the dead are great." ”

"Now it's good, not only will the emperor not celebrate for you, but it would be good not to blame you for the queen's death."

She smiled and said in a joking tone: "You are too unlucky, you finally had a chance to turn over and show your glory, and it is a pity to miss it like this." ”

"I heard that the princess at the celebration banquet was going to wear the official dress given by the emperor, and I was looking forward to that dress, but now it seems that I don't need to look forward to it."

After speaking, she saw that the regent's face was not very good, and thought that he minded this matter very much, so she stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Actually, you don't have to be too angry, who can say for sure that such things as birth, old age, sickness and death, then the queen is gone at this time, maybe it is the will of God, it is not good to be too showy, and it is easy to be jealous of others." ”

She spoke loudly for a long time, but the person opposite did not react, tilted her head to look at him, frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Lord Wang," she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "You shouldn't be stupid, why don't you even ignore me." ”

Gu Yichen grabbed the messy hand in front of him, felt a little cold, and put it into his arms, he stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "Madam is right, after listening to your words, I suddenly feel much more comfortable, you are really my baby, no matter when, you can always make me happy." ”

Bai Xiyue didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing, her face turned red, and her expression became a little unnatural, "I, I'm just casually comforting a few words, and it's not as amazing as you say." ”

As she spoke, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it too tightly, struggled twice, and simply gave up.

"You like to warm your hands so much, so do this one." She cheekily stretched out her other hand, these days have just arrived, there will be a few days every month, the hands and feet are cold, now there is such a human-shaped stove, and it is also pleasing to the eye, there is no reason not to use.

Gu Yichen held her hand with a doting face, put it in his arms, felt a slightly cool breath coming, and frowned, "Are you wearing less, why are your hands so cold, I remember that you were not like this before." ”

What he said before meant that when she first married into the regent palace, when the two were performing in the palace, they forced her to warm her hands, but now she has changed back.

"It's probably because of the weak body, it's not in the way, and it'll be fine in a few days." Although Bai Xiyue has received education in the new century, in such a feudal place, he still can't directly bring these things to the table, besides, the regent may not understand women's affairs, and it will be embarrassing for both of them to say it, so it is better not to talk about it.

Hearing her say that her body was weak, his face became even worse, and every now and then, he would remember what Master Jin Crow had said.

"Come here, sit down here." He patted his leg and motioned for her to sit down.

Bai Xiyue glanced at him and shook her head, "Forget it, it's fine for me to sit here." ”

Sitting on the regent's lap, she still has to die, besides, the two are so close, in case she suddenly has a beastly hair, she has to think about whether she is from or not, this is really too troublesome, so to avoid this problem from the root.

Seeing that she refused to come, she grabbed her hand and forced, Bai Xiyue was defenseless, and the whole person leaned forward, Gu Yichen caught her, and sat firmly on her lap like this, he naturally took the blanket next to him and covered Bai Xiyue.

"Lord Wang, I said I didn't want to come over, why don't you always listen to my opinions." She muttered.

"Next time, definitely."

Bai Xiyue: ,,,,

Sitting here is really warm, Bai Xiyue gradually relaxed, took the initiative to lean on his arms, felt the temperature on his body, and felt that the whole person was a lot warmer.

"I'll take you to Xiangguo Temple in a few days and see someone." His deep voice came from above him, as if he had thought for a long time to say this.

"Xiangguo Temple, why did you go there to meet someone." She asked casually, in her impression that she rarely went to the temple, but remembered that when she was born, her father went there once and asked for peace and blessings for her.

Later, when she grew up, Prime Minister Bai and his wife often went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, but they never proposed to take her with them, and Bai Xiyue didn't like the temple very much.

She always felt that kind of pure place was something she should not set foot in, and as a person with blood on her hands, she should not defile the pure cultivation place of Buddhism.

"You'll know when you get there, he's a very important person to me."

Hearing such words really aroused her curiosity, and the regent said such affirmative words several times, and who would be a person who was very important to him.

"Then why don't we go now, anyway, the queen is dead, the emperor will definitely not hold a celebration banquet, there will be no one to pick you up in a few days, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and directly let the dark six turn around and go to Xiangguo Temple now."

Bai Xiyue was really curious, and couldn't wait to meet that person, she sat up straight and looked at him with bright eyes.

"No way!" The regent immediately refused, without the slightest hesitation.

"Why?"

"There are still some things to deal with, it's not safe in the past now, wait until I deal with those restless people, and then I'll take you there." He patiently explained.

The crown prince stayed in the city and paid attention to the movements of the palace, but he did not reveal the news that the queen was gone, and there must have been something wrong here.

Moreover, after leaving Yuancheng for so long, although the military power was withdrawn, some situations in the city also changed.
