Chapter 248 Decoration
Bai Xiao led her to a side hall on the left, but he didn't go in, and after watching her walk in, he closed the door.
Blue Baby heard her heart "chuckle", what the hell is going on, she just carefully observed the decoration in the hall, and several large pillars hugged by three people were coiled with golden dragons.
Not to mention anything else, this golden dragon alone has already revealed the identity of the owner of this hall.
It turned out that General Bai was not the person of his father-in-law, but ......
"You are the little long history next to King Ling? What's it called? The voice of not being angry suddenly came out of it, and it immediately shocked the blue baby into a cold sweat.
At this time, the blue baby still didn't want to believe that the person who wanted to see her was actually the current saint.
She was now at the door, then bowed her head and bowed her back, carefully stepped into the hollow arch, and when her eyes touched a huge bookcase, she immediately knelt down with her shoulders slumped, "Little Blue Baby, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
She put her head on the ground, and didn't dare to move until the other party spoke.
After a while, I heard a low laugh of unknown meaning not far above my head, which was fleeting, but the blue baby's scalp was numb and tense when I heard it, and this laughter was too strange.
"Do you know why I summoned you here?" His Majesty looked quietly at the figure on the ground through the bookcase.
Lan Baobao quietly clenched his fingers, thinking about the Ninety-Five Venerable on the other side, who held all the power to kill people, and became even more nervous, and replied with a shrunken neck: "The villain is ignorant, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
His Majesty snorted lightly, as if he was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything more, just said: "Some time ago, I received a secret report, which told an interesting story, saying that there was a person who had sneaked into the palace ......for many years to conceal his identity."
Hearing this, the blue baby's heart beat faster, what does Your Majesty want to hint at her?
His Majesty was still talking, "I was suspected of being an assassin, but after all these years, that man has never tried to get close to me. I suspect that I am a spy of the enemy country, and I infiltrated the palace to listen to information, but this person is indeed from this dynasty, why bother to work for the enemy country? I couldn't figure it out, I don't know what Chu Changshi thinks? ”
She has been promoted to Changshi for so long, but she has rarely heard people call her so, and the most common name everyone calls is "Bao Gonggong", so when she heard such a title, she actually had an inexplicable sense of crisis. But what frightened her the most was the "interesting story" that His Majesty said, she always felt that His Majesty meant something, did His Majesty already know her identity?
His Majesty just said "concealing her identity", and the information revealed by these four words is really ambiguous, referring to her identity after concealing her identity as a criminal minister? Or do you hide your gender?
If His Majesty really knows, then is it to bring her here today to ask for sin?
Thinking of this, the blue baby could only be bold and replied as a bystander: "Your Majesty didn't dare not answer when you asked the villain, but the villain was stupid, and his ideas were not as good as Your Majesty's, but I just felt that in addition to the two situations just now, there might be a third situation." Concealing one's identity doesn't necessarily have any purpose, it may be that there is a last resort, just to survive. ”
After speaking, he continued to lie on his stomach without daring to breathe.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and the blue baby could feel a pair of eyes staring at her, like a sword, as if they could fall at any moment and kill her.
Soon, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her body, slowly soaking through her underwear, but she still didn't dare to breathe.
Finally, when she was about to lose her breath, His Majesty spoke, still in the same unhurried but implicit authoritative tone, "You said it well, but in either case, this person is guilty of deceit. If I let such people go unchecked, it will only make future generations despise the law and do the same thing with a fluke mentality, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Chu Changshi thinks, what should I do with this person? ”
The crime of deceitful is a capital crime! Blue Baby's heart was terrified, she could now be sure that the person His Majesty was talking about was her. Do you want her to intercede for herself? She really wanted to do this, but she was afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand her, so he might drag her out and kill her in a fit of rage.
As the so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable, she does not dare to express her opinion when His Majesty's attitude is unclear.
"The villain has a humble status, and he does not dare to judge such a major event, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive him." Baby Blue kept his composure in front of him.
His Majesty thought for a moment, seemed to be very satisfied with her answer, and nodded: "It is indeed a big deal, this person has the audacity to commit the crime of defrauding the king, not to mention, but also to bewitch the important ministers of the court to hide it for her, I am very cold, of course I can't treat her alone." ”
Blue Baby's eyes widened in fear, but he still didn't dare to look up. His Majesty's meaning is obvious, he already knows that His Highness concealed her identity for her, and he will punish His Highness together.
This is what Lan Baobao is most worried about, although she has not done anything hurtful, but it is true that she has committed the crime of deceiving the king, if Your Majesty really punishes the crime, she ...... It can only be accepted. But His Highness is innocent, and he should not be held responsible for this matter.
The blue baby closed her eyes and forcibly calmed herself, His Majesty's attitude at this time did not look like he was extremely angry, if he really wanted to punish the crime, why bother calling her over and bothering to speak.
Blue Baby feels that his existence is not enough to attract His Majesty's attention, so the person who really makes His Majesty pay attention to it...... It is His Royal Highness King Ling.
Thinking of this, the blue baby took a deep breath and raised his upper body slightly with determination, but he still lowered his head and did not dare to look up, and asked timidly: "What does Your Majesty want the villain to do?" ”
The hall fell silent again, and after a moment, His Majesty finally let out a laugh that could not be called a laugh.
Baby Blue's body shook again.
"Who you are, and what is the purpose of approaching King Ling, I know all this." His Majesty paused, and when he saw Lan Baobao's body tense suddenly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "But now that King Ling wants to protect you, I also respect this imperial uncle very much, so I am also willing to sell him this favor." ”
What does Your Majesty mean by this? He said that His Highness insisted on protecting her, could it be that His Majesty had already talked to His Highness before this? When did it happen?
"Blue Baby, I now give you a task, if you can complete it well and make great achievements, I can spare you from dying. If you fail, not only you, but even the Ling Wangfu will be unlucky with you. His Majesty said quietly, his voice was obviously not heavy, but people did not dare to doubt the truth of his words.
Lan Baobao deeply felt that if she failed, His Majesty would definitely do what he said, even if His Highness was the imperial uncle he valued the most.
"Remember, villain." Blue Baby couldn't control his voice and trembled.
His Majesty clicked on the bookcase, raised his hand and threw out something, and said, "This is your task, take it, don't let me down." ”
With a snap, Lan Baobao saw something similar to an official document falling in front of him, so he didn't think about it in a hurry, he quickly picked it up first, and didn't dare to open it immediately without His Majesty's signal.
"Stand down, and let not the things of today be revealed, including your master." His Majesty waved a reminder.
Lan Baobao knew that he was referring to King Ling, and it was precisely because he wanted to hide it from His Highness that he would call her over alone and deliberately scare her.
"Yes, the villain knees." The blue baby kowtowed to His Majesty behind the bookcase again, and then bowed his head respectfully and withdrew.
Out of the palace, the carriage was still waiting at the door, Bai Xiao sat inside and nodded to her, and there was no emotion on his face.
Lan Baobao frowned unconsciously, she really didn't expect Bai Xiao to be His Majesty's person, does Your Highness know?
On the way back, Lan Baobao didn't look at Bai Xiao again, nor did he ask him what he meant today, and what did he mean by staying with His Highness.
After all, this world is still His Majesty's, in the final analysis, everyone has to listen to him, if Bai Xiao said that he just obeyed the emperor's orders, she has nothing to refute, even if she doesn't believe it in her heart, but there is no evidence to prove that Bai Xiao is His Majesty's person.
Bai Xiao also sensed her resistance and suspicion, and felt a slight bitterness in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth to explain. When he returned to the Snow Park safely, he also returned to Youduwei.
Blue Baby's steps were very heavy with the task assigned by His Majesty, and she had no time to think about how His Majesty knew her identity and how much she knew.
What she should be worried about is what His Majesty needs her to do, and it must be very difficult.
She hurried back to the second-floor bedroom, bolted the door through the inside, and sat down at the table for a moment before taking out the fold and looking at it.
After a while, after reading the contents of the excerpt, the blue baby was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool.
His Majesty's task is really not simple, but what he wrote is simple, and he explained that she collected the evidence of Jiang Lingxun's crime, which was enough to make him unable to turn over.
didn't explain what she should do, the meaning is obvious, that is, let her play freely.
To be honest, although Blue Baby was very disappointed in her father-in-law, she didn't think about really killing him, she just wanted to get rid of him.
But now His Majesty clearly wants to get rid of his father-in-law, and he has given her this task. His Majesty is aware of their relationship, and doing so now is nothing more than testing her attitude.
If she can do it, it means that her heart is towards His Highness and will not pose a threat to them. If it can't be done, Your Majesty can convict her for any reason, and it is likely that it will affect Your Highness.
Thinking about it like this, the balance in her heart unconsciously tilted in favor of His Highness.
It's just that if she really lets her kill someone with her own hands, it is still difficult for her to overcome this psychological barrier, after all, the era she lived in before gave her a deep-rooted concept of law.
It is a crime to kill someone, and to kill is to pay for one's life.
However, His Majesty's orders could not be ignored, if she could think of a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only help His Majesty solve the great problem of the Inner Servant Province, but also save the life of her father-in-law, maybe she could give it a try.
She had suspected that her father-in-law might also be involved in King Sheng's rebellion, but if she started with this, this kind of rebellion would be a capital crime, and the Zhenguo Mansion was an example. And even His Highness is not sure that his father-in-law has been involved in this matter, so this method cannot be used.
She didn't know much or nothing about her stepfather, but basically what she could know didn't pose much of a threat to her father.
The blue baby locked herself in the bedroom and thought about it for a long time, and she didn't eat lunch until the evening, when Tang Yuan came to urge her again, she still didn't think of any good way, and the strong hunger made her have to forcibly pull back her thoughts, eat first.
Jin Lingluo explained last night that he wouldn't come over today, so Lan Baobao beckoned Tang Yuan and Sang Zhi over for dinner together.
At the end of the banquet, the three of them drank tea to recuperate, and Tang Yuan suddenly thought of something and talked about it as a conversation after dinner.
"When Steward Lan came over today, he mentioned something, saying that he had lost someone in the palace, it seems to be a small long history, and he has been lost for five days and there is no news until now."
