289 Before entering the palace
The snow fell for a while and stopped, and Li Tong clapped his hands, intending to go back.
Looking at the two men sitting facing each other, the atmosphere was not stiff, but it was obviously not very pleasant, Qiu Zhongxiao had no intention of leaving, and Bai Li Ye was also holding the hot tea and not moving, quite a posture of not leaving without persuading Qiu Zhongxiao.
Tut!
Men's inexplicable desire to win.
Li Tong walked over and kicked the table leg: "Do you want to go?" ”
Bai Li Ye hurriedly put down the tea bowl and grabbed Li Tong's hand: "Go, go immediately, why are your hands so cold?" Cover you for your husband. ”
Li Tong withdrew his hand angrily, and turned to look at Qiu Zhongxiao: "What else does Lord Qiu want to ask, let's ask it together." ”
"It's gone."
Qiu Zhongxiao looked a little depressed, and he didn't know if Bai Li Ye's words just now had an effect on him.
The brother I have been friends with for many years turns out to be a person with ulterior motives, and once this thought appears in my mind, it is very difficult to make it disappear.
"Okay, then we'll go first, Lord Qiu is at your own convenience."
"No." Qiu Zhongxiao didn't raise his head.
Not long after Bai Li Ye and Li Tong left, Qiu Zhongxiao stood up, he looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, and handed the sign to enter the palace while the palace gate was not closed.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qiu, please see me." Ying Rong walked into the door of the imperial study with his back bent.
"What is he doing in the palace so late?" Baili Xian raised his head from the many twists and turns, the court situation was disrupted by Liu Xing these days, and this kind of thing alone made him anxious, not to mention that there were impeachment excerpts in the open and secret that gave him a headache, and he hadn't gone to the queen for several days.
Now that Qiu Zhongxiao stepped on the time when the palace gate was closed, Baili Xian only felt that he was going to be tortured by these two brothers and died young.
"Let him in."
The tone was not very good, and Ying Rong could only secretly pray for Qiu Zhongxiao in his heart.
"See the Emperor."
"Say, what's so urgent that you have to enter the palace now?" Baili Xian didn't raise his head, and the pen in his hand didn't stop.
Qiu Zhongxiao's face was not obvious, and he only said: "Today, the minister learned some news from the general. ”
Baili Xian's men paused, still didn't look up, and deliberately asked, "What news?" ”
The biggest thing that has been going on lately is Liuxing.
Qiu Zhongxiao doesn't care about anyone, the first place is the royal family, yes, it's the royal family, not Baili Xian, the second is the Qiu family, the third is his sister Qiu Xin'er, and the fourth is Liu Xing.
The people after Liu Xing are all inconsequential people, and they are not worthy of Qiu Zhongxiao's attention, even himself.
If necessary, Qiu Zhongxiao can even exchange his life.
"The person who bewitched Lord Liu to disturb the situation of the court may be powerful, or he may be the person of the first emperor."
This is quite rebellious, but it also euphemistically indicates that Liu Xing is not the person in charge, and he can be sentenced lightly, at least he can save his life.
However, Liu Xingcha's people all confirmed that he was guilty.
If you really want to make an order to condemn the crime, you won't want your head, Qiu Zhongxiao is afraid.
He didn't really believe in Bai Li Xian after all.
"The Emperor's Man?" Baili Xian muttered.
Isn't Baili Ye also a person of the first emperor?
He knew that it was not so easy to sit down on this throne peacefully, not to mention that there were many courtiers in the court who did not recognize his ability, even if they did, according to what Qiu Zhongxiao said, there were still ambitious people who were ready to move.
There are always people who want to take the throne, and there are always people who can find various reasons for this.
Qiu Zhongxiao has one more person who may not have said it, that is, Baili Xian's own people,
He carefully observed Bai Li Xian's expression, it didn't seem that there was any flaw, Qiu Zhongxiao didn't think about the possibility that Bai Li Ye would trick him, this matter was really a little confusing, it was completely different from the previous cases, although some cases in the past also involved party disputes, but they were not as complicated as this time, and even the emperor of the current dynasty was calculated.
In the past, Liu Xing always followed him to guide him.
But now, Liu Xing has become a party, and Qiu Zhongxiao is inevitably concerned and confused, and his brain is not enough.
"What is the identity of the other group of people around him, haven't you found out yet?"
"Yes......" Qiu Zhongxiao wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while, but still spoke: "It's the general's wife." ”
"Li Tong?"
"That's what she said."
"By her own admission?"
"Yes, I said that I admired Lord Liu very much and was worried that something would happen to him, so I sent some people to protect him."
Baili Xian squinted his eyes and looked at the fold in front of the case, which happened to be an excerpt to impeach Liu Xing.
Liu Xing's move has touched the interests of many people, there are many people who want to kill him, and there are many people who are willing to protect him, even women like Li Tong know right and wrong, and these people, these people who keep saying that they want to ask for the people's lives, want to put such a good official who is determined to seek peace in the world and move forward to death.
Oh, this is his courtier!
Baili Xian threw the fold on the ground, Qiu Zhongxiao glanced at it, picked it up, his eyebrows tightened slightly, he glanced at Baili Xian, and understood that he didn't know how much to see every day.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu, he ......"
"I understand, you don't need to say more, since the general's wife said that she sent people, that is the person she sent. Since they are for the same purpose, then you should tell your people not to conflict with them. ”
"Obey."
"Anything else?"
Qiu Zhongxiao opened his mouth, but finally shook his head.
"Then you go back and be careful on the way."
"Obey."
After Qiu Zhongxiao left hesitantly, Baili Xian sat in the imperial study for a long time before picking up the pen and continuing to review the recitals.
Ying Rong stayed outside the door, pinching a little to go in to change tea, he wanted to persuade Baili Xian to rest, but looking at his momentum and dignified face, he knew that he was going to sleep here again tonight.
In the General's Mansion, Li Tong was carried back by Baili Ye.
During the day, she stood outside the house for too long, and although she went to Xu's Restaurant to eat and rest for a while, in Bai Liye's opinion, she was still frozen.
Although for Li Tong, there is nothing at all.
He just wanted to carry it.
Bai Liye didn't deny it, anyway, he just wanted to get closer to his wife and get closer.
I don't know what's going on today, Bai Liye also went to bring hot water in person, saying that he would wash Li Tong's feet anyway, thanks to Li Tong being a modern person, he didn't have those concepts of taking the husband as the sky, otherwise he would have been scared if he changed someone.
"Did something wrong?" Li Tong was pressed to the side of the bed and forcibly took off his shoes and socks.
She propped up the bed with her hands, supported her shoulders, leaned her head forward, and leaned in front of Bai Li Ye, who was squatting in front of her, and her eyes fell inch by inch on his handsome face.
"No, what did Madame say?"
Bai Li Ye did not have the slightest weakness on his face, among the secret guards beside him, there was only one woman in Chiyi, and even in some cases, Chiyi was more ruthless than two men.
Therefore, Bai Li Ye has never seen Chiyi as a woman at all.
Except for Li Tong, his heart is like water, and he has a clear conscience.
However, he was a little distressed and moved to let her stand outside for so long today.
No one has ever understood him so well, even the former emperor, occasionally has some suspicion of him.
"How did that good guy come up with the idea of washing my feet?" Li Tong said, his feet had been pressed by Bai Li Ye's big hands, carefully put them into the hot water, and the rough palms slid over her delicate instep, Li Tong was a little hairy, and couldn't help but shrink.
"It's ......"
Bai Li Ye poured hot water on Li Tong's instep, and rubbed his fingers gently little by little, as if he was holding some fragile treasure, which he cherished very much, and his round toes were white and tender, and he was a little moved after watching it for a long time.
He has such a good eye, and Madame is so cute even on her toes.
"I just want to hurt Madame."
"You already hurt me so much!"
This is not polite, Li Tong really thinks that Bai Li Ye already loves her very much, and after confirming his intentions, he has not murdered her once, although he will hide some things from her, but in general, it will not have a big impact on Li Tong.
Moreover, Li Tong has always felt that Bai Liye is actually a very gentle and polite person, unlike those sons of the family next to him, who are always high, as if people all over the world have to listen to them, insisting on going their own way and being stubborn.
At this point, Baili Ye still has a very advantage.
Li Tong touched Bai Li Ye's face: "Actually, I'm quite happy that you can meet them, I know that you have always wanted to see them, and I also know that you actually want to go back to the border pass, and you don't want to stay in Yicheng, if it weren't for those people, I'm afraid you would have gone back a long time ago, why are you still marrying so many women here." ”
The last sentence was a little sour, Bai Li Ye smiled when he heard it, raised his hand and pinched Li Tong's face.
"Madame really understands me." Bai Li Ye raised his head and smiled brightly: "But if they hadn't let me stay here, how could I marry a lady?" ”
Li Tong pursed his lips.
Bai Li Ye took the towel next to him, rested it on his lap, picked up Li Tong's feet and put them into the towel, pressed them slightly, and then dried them carefully, put her feet into the quilt, and took a stove and stuffed it in.
Li Tong watched Bai Li Ye busy going in and out, and finally took off his clothes and ran into the quilt, reached out to wrap his hand around Li Tong's soft body, sniffed and sniffed her with his head, and found a suitable position to lie down.
"You say, why did you ask the emperor to marry me in the first place? My reputation at that time was not good, they all said that I was a fool, and I could only be raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of my life. ”
But your family background is good!
Bai Li Ye almost blurted out.
"Did they force you? It stands to reason that for the sake of a long-term plan, you shouldn't ask to marry me, such a clear ambition really gives the little emperor a chance to keep an eye on you. ”
Bai Li Ye hugged Li Tong's waist, and his palm kneaded her waist very restlessly: "There is this part, but there is also my own selfishness. ”
"Huh?" Li Tong was a little itchy from being kneaded, glared at him, and held down his messy hand.
Bai Li Ye smiled, didn't move again, and only whispered in her ear: "Before entering the palace, I secretly went to see Madame." ”
