Seeing the tension between Yuan Zhen and Bai Ling, another father-in-law, who had been standing aside without speaking, stepped forward and said, "Bai Siyao, Yuan Gonggong, everyone extinguishes the fire." They are all doing things for the Long Live Lord, and no one has any selfish intentions. ”

However, whether it was Yuan Zhen or Bai Ling, no one bought his account.

The two looked at each other, each with a little disgust.

This result made the father-in-law's face sink down, he looked at Yuan Zhen, lowered his voice and said, "Father-in-law Yuan, don't forget the purpose of our trip. ”

Yuan Zhen sneered, "You are mistaken, Gonggong Xu, if you didn't copy this golden step, it would be my business, and since you copied it, it would not be my business." ”

The father-in-law surnamed Xu was not too entangled, and he was a little more polite to Bai Ling's tone and demeanor, he took a step forward and laughed in a low voice, "That's the case, Bai Siyao, something happened in the palace, some things, we still have to ask Si Yao for verification." ”

Bai Ling snorted, "The two fathers-in-law are so domineering, but they have something to ask me for verification, so they don't say anything when they come up, they smash my house to a mess first, and tie my brother aside...... Now that it's all like this, what else is there to prove, wouldn't it be better to convict me directly? ”

Only then did the father-in-law surnamed Xu react, and hurriedly looked at the brocade guard who was still pressing Bai Yi on the side, "Loosen up, let go, and a few of you, go out first." ”

More than a dozen palace people who went to the house first rummaged through the cabinets, and the courtyard suddenly became empty.

"It's about the inner court, and some things are not easy to talk to Si Yao," Xu Gonggong's voice was soft, "Please Si Yao and us go into the palace for a walk, it won't take long." Or, what else is required for Boss? ”

"I don't have any other requirements," Bai Ling's eyes fluttered and glanced at Yuan Zhen behind Gonggong Xu, "Leave a few of your people down, count the things that my house just smashed, and lose money according to the price." ”

"There's no such rule—"

"That's a good thing to say—"

Yuan Zhen and his father-in-law surnamed Xu spoke at the same time, the two glanced at each other, Yuan Zhen rolled his eyes, put his hands into his sleeves, and walked out with a gloomy face.

After he went out, Gonggong Xu smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't be surprised by Bai Si Yao, these are all small things, just follow the meaning of Si Yao." The emperor is still waiting in the palace, why don't we hurry up and ......? ”

Bai Ling didn't speak, just looked sideways at Bai Yi on the side.

Looking at each other, Bai Ling's eyes seemed to have some kind of involuntary sigh, which made Bai Yi feel that someone had been shot heavily in the heart.

Between him and Bai Ling, I don't know when it seemed to be a barrier, he couldn't see what was happening at this end—or rather, Bai Ling deliberately hid him, deliberately so that he couldn't see his actions clearly.

"You're waiting for me to come back?" Bai Ling said softly.

Bai Yi's throat moved slightly, he had too many things to ask, but in the end, he could only whisper, "...... You come back early. ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded and said in a smaller voice, "I'll be soon, it shouldn't be delayed for long." ”

There was no time to say goodbye, and Bai Ling quickly followed Xu and Yuan's father-in-law out of the deep alley outside.

Tonight, the moon is like a silver hook, and the night of Heikyo is dark, and only the torches illuminate the road in front of you.

Yuan Zhen walked quickly to the front of the crowd - there was a carriage parked not far away, and they would use the fastest speed to take Bai Ling to Emperor Jianxi for questioning.

"Where did Gonggong Xu do things," Bai Ling looked at the palace people in front of him with a little curiosity, "When I was in the palace before, I didn't seem to have seen you much." ”

"Si Yao said that you laughed, you are doing things for the concubine in the harem, how can you meet me." He replied with a smile, "I've been running errands in the Inner Hall of the Master of Ceremonies. ”

Bai Ling thought for a moment.

Inner Study...... If I am not mistaken, it was a place dedicated to the education of eunuchs.

Palace people like Qiu Shi and Yuan Zhen who follow Emperor Jianxi every day should have started reading and reading there.

"It used to be, but now it's not?"

Gonggong Xu nodded and looked at the road ahead, "Gonggong Huang has blue eyes, and now he has been transferred to the clerical room." ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but glance at the person in front of him, the clerical room, the place where all the courtiers' notes, the emperor's holy edicts, and tickets were sent and received in the celebrant supervisor's room, was almost counted as the secretariat of the celebrant supervisor, and the information in charge could be imagined.

"Then it's time to congratulate my father-in-law." Bai Ling said softly, "Want to take the liberty of asking for the name of my father-in-law?" ”

"I, a single name and a knowing word." He glanced back at Bai Ling with some concern, and added, "In fact, everywhere is loyal to the emperor, there is nothing to congratulate." ”

"yes." Bai Ling nodded calmly, "Father-in-law is right. ”

……

After entering the palace, Xu Zhi and Yuan Zhen took Bai Ling on a path that she had never walked before.

She watched herself get closer and closer to the tower of the Xuanqiong Palace, but she couldn't remember what this place was, until the smell of incense in the air became stronger and stronger, and a large hall lit with a lone lamp appeared in front of her not far away, and she finally realized that the place where Xu and Yuan's father-in-law brought her was the place where Emperor Jianxi cultivated in the palace.

There is no figure of Emperor Jianxi in the huge hall, only a curtain hanging from a high place separates this huge and open hall.

Xu Zhi entered the main hall first, leaving Yuan Zhen and Bai Ling to wait outside the hall.

The summer night breeze slowly blew Bai Ling's forehead, and she looked at Xu Zhi who disappeared behind the curtain quietly, and said softly, "Gonggong Yuan has worked hard. ”

Yuan Zhen's eyelids didn't move, and he still replied in a cold voice as before, "Bai Si Yao has also worked hard." ”

"Well, it's really hard." Bai Ling whispered, "It's much harder than I originally thought. ”

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but glance at Bai Ling.

The expression on this little girl's face at this moment suddenly made him feel a little familiar-

The excitement of the first blade is intertwined with subtle fear;

The desire for revenge is wrapped in the boredom of fleeing from everything......

Yuan Zhen suddenly felt that his heart was not very happy, as if he had been slapped in vain.

Is it true that everything in this world is just like this, and no one can escape it?

The copper chime in the main hall rang out, and the sound spread leisurely in all directions, gradually fainting, like water waves dissolving into the water.

"You should go in," Yuan Zhen looked at the curtains in the hall that moved with the wind, "This is the emperor calling you." ”

Bai Ling nodded and replied "Okay", and was about to step forward when she suddenly heard Yuan Zhen shouting "Bai Si Yao" behind her.

Bai Ling stopped, looked back, and waited for Yuan Zhen's next words.

Yuan Zhen stood there, his face still on the same face as always, as if everyone in the world owed him money,

“…… You'll have a bright future, Cypress. ”
