Chapter Ninety-Eight: The King Summons Bai Chuxia into the Palace
Soon after falling asleep, she was woken up by Begonia, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Begonia standing beside the bed, followed by two of the four maids that Bai Junxiong gave her, one of them holding a basin and the other holding clothes.
Seeing that Bai Chuxia woke up, Haitang hurriedly said, "Miss, the queen asked you to enter the palace, and the carriage that picked up Miss was already waiting outside." ”
Bai Chuxia frowned slightly, why did the queen let her enter the palace?
I didn't think much about it, I got up, washed up, put on my clothes and went out.
Walking outside the mansion, seeing that there was a high father-in-law standing in front of the carriage, Bai Chuxia was a little surprised, but then he understood.
If the queen sends someone to ask her to enter the palace, it will not be Gonggong Gao who will pick her up, presumably, it is not the queen who wants her to enter the palace this time, but the king!
Gonggong Gao stepped forward and smiled at Bai Chuxiazuo, "Miss Bai, the queen said that Miss Bai can enter the palace alone." ”
Bai Chuxia nodded, and turned to look at Begonia, "Begonia, go back!" ”
Haitang glanced at Father-in-law Gao with some anxiety, but he didn't say anything, helped Bai Chuxia to get into the carriage and went back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the palace, Gonggong Gao took Bai Chuxia directly to the door of the imperial study, and went in to report it.
Bai Chuxia glanced at the plaque above his head, the three words of the imperial study were majestic, powerful, and calm.
This is the second time in her life that she has come to the imperial study, and the last time was before going to the border gate.
I secretly thought in my heart, the king asked her to come to the imperial study this time, presumably for the sake of the 'Chunfeng Building' and 'Zongyi Hall'!
When Xuanyuan Ming was assassinated last time, Yuan Yi was also there, and he must have told the king everything.
Father-in-law Gao came out of the imperial study at this time and said to Bai Chuxia, "Miss Bai go in!" ”
Nodding, Bai Chuxia walked directly into the imperial study, and as soon as he walked in, the door of the imperial study closed from the outside.
Bai Chuxia walked to the center of the room and kowtowed to Xuanyuan Kun, who was sitting in front of the desk, "The courtier, Bai Chuxia, has seen the king." ”
looked at Bai Chuxia, who was standing below kneeling with a calm face and unhurried.
Today, she is wearing a light-colored emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, mist and green grass, and a simple cloud bun with three thousand green silks, casually inserted into a simple but good step, and a light green palace wash loosely tied around her waist.
Xuanyuan Kun said in a deep voice, "Bai Chuxia, I called you this time, do you know what happened?" ”
Bai Chuxia remained silent, still calm, "Back to the king, the courtiers don't know." ”
"I don't know?" Xuanyuan Kun was angry and laughed back, "Then I will remind you." ”
Getting up, Xuanyuan Kun walked in front of Bai Chuxia, his eyes staring at her tightly, not letting go of her expression.
"Slandering the prince, are you guilty?"
Bai Chuxia frowned, and his face did not change, "Your Majesty, when did the courtiers slander the prince." ”
Seeing that Bai Chuxia's expression remained unchanged, Xuanyuan Kun secretly thought to himself, he had never seen her have a panicked expression, and he didn't know what kind of thing would make her expression show panic.
Feeling that his prestige was being defied, Xuanyuan Kun's face sank, and he was furious, "When you were assassinated, you called that assassin the prince Ming, wouldn't it be slanderous to the prince." ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Kun who was pretending to be like this, Bai Chuxia was calm and calm, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, isn't it the best to slander or not?" ”
She didn't know what kind of temperament the king had, presumably after knowing about the assassination last time, she immediately thoroughly investigated the places she said.
Although, in the letter to him, the righteous brother said that Xuanyuan Ming's withdrawal was extremely fast, but there were also some clues to follow, the king thoroughly investigated those places that day, and he must have found something, but there was no actual evidence, and he couldn't make a move on Xuanyuan Ming.
Xuanyuan Kun looked at Bai Chuxia fixedly, seeing that she seemed to see through herself, her brows furrowed, and she asked in a deep voice, "Bai Chuxia, why are you so sure, that assassin is Lord Ming." ”
Bai Chuxia hooked her lips, "Back to the king, the courtiers heard it by listening to the voice." She wasn't lying, she just heard it.
Looking at Bai Chuxia's calm and meticulous face, Xuanyuan Kun pondered.
He asked Yuan Yi to investigate, and he did find out something, so it can be seen that Xuanyuan Ming already had the intention of winning the heir, but because he was very clean, he had no substantial evidence to prove the dark things he did.
Knowing that he had murderous intentions, he asked people to call Lang'er back from the General's Mansion and let him learn martial arts in the palace.
I thought he would refuse, but I didn't know that he had been studying martial arts all day long in recent days, and only after asking did he know that this was all Bai Chuxia's credit.
Thinking of the two places he had thoroughly investigated, he asked again, "Chunfeng Building and Zongyi Hall, how did you learn about these two places?" ”
Bai Chuxia frowned, last time she deliberately let Xuanyuan Ming show her feet, and she also said those two places to save her aunt. Although it was said a little early, she did not regret it, and letting him self-destruct was no more distressing than someone else copying it.
But at this time, I didn't know how to explain to the king, so I could only say lightly, "Back to the king, when the courtiers had a marriage contract with Prince Ming in the past, Prince Ming mentioned these two places to the courtiers, and the courtiers guessed that these two places had something to do with Prince Ming. ”
"The courtiers were just guessing nonsense to save their aunt at that time, but they didn't want Prince Ming to be fooled."
Bai Chuxia's words made Xuanyuan Kun's face sink, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. But the only thing that is certain is that this Bai Chuxia and Xuanyuan Ming are hostile, otherwise they would not have said these two places and let him self-destruct.
After a moment of thought, he said in a deep voice, "Bai Chuxia, I asked you to promise me that no matter when, you must protect Lang'er, and you must take Lang'er as the leader." ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Kun's words, Bai Chuxia was a little surprised, and raised his eyes to look at the king.
What he showed at this time was just a father's love for his son, but from this words, he could also see that the king really loved Xuanyuan Lang.
Before he could speak, he heard the voice of his father-in-law outside.
"Lord Wang, the king is talking to Miss Bai, you can't go in."
"Get out of the way."
Xuanyuan Lang pushed Gonggong Gao suddenly, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the imperial study, and saw Bai Chuxia kneeling in the imperial study with a slight frown, but the king was standing in front of her, his face was silent.
Hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chuxia, and said dissatisfiedly, "Father, why did you call Chu'er to come to the imperial study?" ”
Xuanyuan Kun was a little unhappy when he saw Xuanyuan Lang caring about Bai Chuxia so much.
Bai Chuxia pulled Xuanyuan Lang's sleeve, "Lord Wang, the king is just looking for me to question." ”
"Okay, okay, I know that you baby her, let's go!" Knowing that he couldn't ask anything, Xuanyuan Kun waved his hand and turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lang hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Chuxia out of the imperial study.
