Chapter 222: Leaving the Palace
As the king of a country, if he wants to leave a virtuous reputation in front of the people, he has to find someone to take the blame for some dirty things that are not seen, in his eyes, Han Ruoyan is this person.
And now the reason why Zhan Qianqi was able to give up Han Ruoyan so easily was naturally because after weighing the pros and cons, he found that Bai Qianning could bring him more things. Not to mention whether the elixir is true or not, the technique of resisting water made him thirsty for it.
If a ruler wants to consolidate his position, it is not enough to rely on virtue or force alone, they all say that murder is punishable, and it is necessary to make the people completely submit to him, and make something related to the gods to get twice the result with half the effort.
It's like the ancient emperors who called themselves the true dragon son of heaven, the descendant of the dragon, the son of heaven, so as to make the people believe that they were chosen by the heavens, and strengthen their position through the people's belief in the gods.
Zhan Qianqi was making his calculations in his heart, but he was also worried that Bai Qianning would not sincerely surrender to him, so he turned his head to Bai Qianning and said, "If you want the position of queen, I can give it to you, but why do you make me believe you?" Aren't you the one who fights Qianche? ”。
"Zhan Qianche? Heh......"
Bai Qianning saw him take the bait, so he deliberately pretended to be contemptuous, and said: "It's all a deal, I naturally have to choose a shorter shortcut, Zhan Qianche does have some ability, but he is too indecisive, instead of waiting for him to succeed, it is better to make a deal with you, who already has the world, to make everything come faster." ”
Hearing this, Zhan Qianqi finally smiled, slapped one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and the white girl is really not vulgar. If you have any other requests, just bring them, and I will do it for you. ”
"Since the emperor said so, then I'm not welcome, first of all, I want the emperor to send someone to find a herb for me, the secret recipe for immortality left by my master lacks this herb, but I haven't gotten it for many years, so I haven't finished refining it for a long time. I just said that I want to be in the back seat and I also hope to have enough power to order someone to find medicine for me, if the emperor is willing to send someone to go, then I don't want the queen's position. Naturally, when the pill is refined, as a reward, I will leave one for the emperor, and then I will live with the emperor for thousands of years. Furthermore, before I find this medicine, the emperor can't restrict my freedom, I want to leave the palace, if the emperor is not at ease, he can send someone to follow me, of course, with the ability of the royal guard, even if you don't let people follow me, it will be easy for you to find me, I believe, the emperor will not have any worries, right? ”
Bai Qianning's question was to calculate Zhan Qianqi's suspicious but conceited temperament, and Zhan Qianqi listened to her words, and saw that she didn't even want the rear position at her fingertips, squinted her eyes and thought for a long time before she nodded and said, "No problem, it's just that what is the flavor medicine you said, and where can I find it?" ”
"I will draw the appearance of the herb on paper, you ask the painter in the palace to draw more according to it, and distribute it, this medicine grows on the edge of the cliff, and it is very rare, I am afraid that it will take some effort to find it."
"Well, it's okay, you just have to draw it, and I will order someone to find it."
Zhan Qianqi was rare and refreshing, and immediately made people find paper and pencils. Bai Qianning deliberately followed the appearance of Qichang, she was sure that there was no such plant in this world, and Qichang was born at the mouth of a cave, not a cliff, so even if Zhan Qianqi sent someone to look for it, it would be impossible to find it, this move would only delay time for her, help her find Zhan Qianche as soon as possible and discuss the next countermeasures with him.
After drawing the drawings, Bai Qianning asked the eunuch to hand them to Zhan Qianqi, roughly describing some colors and forms that could not be expressed on the drawings, and then said to Zhan Qianqi: "The drawings have been handed over to the emperor, I don't know when I can leave the palace, I still have to go to the Yan family to settle accounts!" ”
Bai Qianning deliberately said this, also to find a reasonable reason for herself to leave the palace, and Zhan Qianqi listened to this, not only did not stop her, but also reminded her: "Yan Yuan values the fourth son Yan Moze the most, if you want to do it, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”
"It's not easy for others, but I have a way, I have a friendship with Yan Moze, it's not difficult to get close to him, the difficult thing is that if I really understand the reason why he killed, do I want to keep him alive with friendship!"
"Oh? Then I'll see. Although Yan Yuan has always been loyal to the imperial court, but his son has killed so many lives, in the past, I hindered the loyalty of the Yan family to protect him, and now if the white girl wants to go to the heavens, then I will turn a blind eye, if the white girl can really kill Yan Moze, it can be regarded as the luck of Li Min in Chechi County. ”
Zhan Qianqi said this, but Bai Qianning was disgusted enough by his fake patriotism and love for the people, but it was not good to attack immediately, so he could only salute and say: "I am relieved to have the emperor's words, then ...... I left the palace first. ”
After speaking, Bai Qianning turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall without looking back. It's just that she was terrified at every step, for fear that Zhan Qianqi's suspicious nature would suddenly stop her and prevent her from leaving the palace.
Fortunately, her worries did not happen, on the contrary, there was no one who followed, only a little eunuch was ordered to lead her all the way in the direction of the palace gate.
It's just that the road is just halfway through, and the little eunuch who was walking in front was suddenly knocked down by something and fainted, Bai Qianning subconsciously stopped, looked around defensively, and finally saw a figure in an ink-colored robe at the corner of a wall.
Chiche!
Bai Qianning subconsciously opened his mouth wide, but he didn't dare to scream, so he could only run towards him in three steps and two steps, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" It's too dangerous here, you shouldn't be here. ”
"Ye Tan said that you were brought into the palace, and I was worried about your safety. Are you okay? ”
Zhan Qianche carefully inspected Bai Qianning's body, Bai Qianning could only pull him to hide in the corner and said: "I'm fine, I have already deceived Zhan Qianqi and asked him to let me out of the palace, don't worry, it's just that the little eunuch was sent by him to escort me out, if someone finds out that he fainted and I am not there, it will cause unnecessary suspicion, there is still a way from the palace gate, I will send you into the space first, and then let you come out when I get out of the palace gate safely." ”
"But ......"
Zhan Qianche was still a little worried, but before he finished speaking, he was sent into the space by Bai Qianning, at the same time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the direction where the little eunuch of Fangcao fainted, Bai Qianning hurriedly greeted him, and pretended to say: "Finally someone came, this eunuch was ordered to send me out of the palace, and suddenly fainted while walking, I thought that he might be suffering from heat stroke, and I was about to call someone, since you are here, quickly take him back for treatment, I will leave the palace by myself!" ”
Bai Qianning said and planned to run away, but he didn't expect to be stopped as soon as he turned around.
"Stop"
The guards led by him paced to Bai Qianning step by step, perhaps because she was not dressed in palace clothes, and her face was extremely unfamiliar, so he had to interrogate a few words: "Who are you?" What are you doing in the palace? ”
Listening to the questioning, Bai Qianning knew that he couldn't leave for a while, so he could only fold his arms and said impatiently: "The emperor sent a hidden guard to invite me into the palace, if you have any questions, go and ask the emperor, and if you people delay me leaving the palace, beware that I let the emperor send you down." ”
Bai Qianning said this, and there were a few guards with bright eyes on the side who immediately understood. A guard hurried to the head of the guard and whispered in his ear: I heard that the emperor ordered the hidden guard to get a girl to come in from outside, and then the queen was deposed, I'm afraid this girl in front of me is it! ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The leader of the guard slapped the guard on the head and asked in a low voice, and then immediately nodded and said to Bai Qian: "Girl, it's the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the little one should be damned, the little one will personally send the girl out of the palace!" ”
After saying that, he ordered the two guards at the end of the line: "Carry this eunuch away for me, and the rest of the people will escort the girl out of the palace with me!" ”
"Yes!" The guards received the order, and immediately followed Bai Qianning towards the palace gate.
With such a group of guards escorting, the way out of the palace seemed to be unusually smooth, Bai Qianning walked out of the palace gate, and saw a carriage parked at the door.
