Bai Heran looked up, and saw that Emperor Tianhe had already gotten up, and Jun Lingxi pulled him from behind, so he turned around and said a few words. It seemed to be appeased, because after the old emperor finished speaking, he reached out and touched Jun Lingxi's head.

This is what a father should look like, she thought, if Bai Xingyan could also have the love that a father should have, maybe everything would not have developed to such a situation.

Then again, what did Emperor Tianhe call her for?

She got up to follow, and Bai Zhenzhen reminded: "Sister, be more careful." ”

The old lady also followed on the side: "Try to intercede with the emperor and spare your father." ”

She frowned, forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and walked away.

Emperor Tianhe didn't go too far, he just walked out of the Thousand Autumns Long Live Hall and stood on the edge of the cliff on the side of the Nameless Mountain.

The wind on Chinese New Year's Eve was cold, blowing on her face like a knife, and when Bai Heran followed her, she felt that this cold wind was very similar to the day she had just come to Dongqin. That day she was held arm by her arms and kneeling on the edge of the cliff, and countless long needles pierced her back, and then pushed down the cliff, and she almost thought that she would die again as soon as she came to life.

Fortunately, there was a hot spring at the bottom of the cliff, and she not only survived, but also met the lover of this life.

It's just that after tonight, can this lover still belong to her?

"The courtier's daughter Bai Hezhi has seen the emperor." She stood behind Emperor Tianhe, bowed her knees, and her voice was flat, without waves.

Emperor Tianhe half-turned to look at her, his face expressionless. The two were at a stalemate like this, and finally the old emperor didn't stiffen her, and smiled bitterly, "Ah Ran, now you don't even want to call your father?" After that, without waiting for her to answer, he raised his hand again, "Get up, stand here with me for a while, blow the mountain wind, and we will all be calm and calm." ”

"Your Majesty." The white crane was very polite, and after getting up, he didn't really stand side by side with the emperor, but stood half a step back, facing the mountain cliff in the mountain wind.

After a while, Emperor Tianhe opened his mouth again and asked her, "Do you know what I mean to be calm and calm?" ”

Bai Heran shook his head, "The courtiers don't dare to speculate on the king's heart, so I don't know what you want to calm down." However, the courtiers themselves do need to be calm, because the family is not harmonious, and she has just had a dispute with my grandmother, who has loved me since childhood, and her heart is restless and not good. ”

"Oh?" The old emperor was not surprised, "Your grandmother...... Well, the wife of the previous generation of Wen Guogong. The lady I had come into contact with when I was young, and she was very generous, and the marquise had a high shelf. At the beginning, everyone said that the Duchess was a good woman who was sensible and reasonable, but unfortunately, she was sensible, but she couldn't raise children well. After that, he turned his head to look at Bai Heran, "But the upbringing of your grandchildren is still very good, otherwise I would not have handed the holy decree of marriage to the Wenguo Mansion once or twice." ”

Bai Heran saluted again: "Thank you for the emperor's love." ”

Emperor Tianhe waved his hand, "Okay, Ah Ran, neither of us will go around in this circle, I only ask you, believe me or not?" ”

The white crane raises its eyebrows, believe it or not? This is a difficult question to answer. To what extent do you have to believe? Accept your fate and marry to Hangan? But if you don't believe it, will this emperor turn his face on the spot?

She looked at the cliffs below, the nameless mountain was very high, but it was still much inferior to the majestic mountain outside the city. Such a high mountain can't kill her, she is enough to protect herself, but once she turns her face, what will happen to those people in the Bai family? She can't really leave no one alone.

Seeing her hesitation, the old emperor smiled bitterly again, "It seems that I still don't believe it." Also, with your thoughts, you can naturally see that the wind of tonight's palace banquet is not right, and you must have a plan for this in your heart, which should also include fighting your way out of the encirclement and taking the family you care about to wander the world, right? Ah Ran, you really don't believe me. ”

He pointed to the cliff below, "Look, this mountain is so high, if you make a move at this moment and push me down from here, do you think I can still live?" I have kung fu in my body, or in normal times, if I fall, I will fall, and I can jump up again with a lift. But I always remember that you have made a subtle poison in your hand, and you can invisibly lay a poisonous barrier, and I have no way to live under your poisonous barrier. But I still dare to stand here with you, because of what? Because I believe in you. ”

Bai Heran wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old emperor raising his hand, and then continued: "I am not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous emperor, I can also tell right from wrong, I even knew some things many years ago, but I didn't say it. My temple is not raised in vain, my brain is not in vain, your father is actually a cowardly man, he alone cannot achieve great things, and he cannot make big mistakes. The reason why everything was cast, I know, is that there is a driving hand behind it, pushing it all forward. ”

"Your Majesty!" Bai Heran finally interjected, she said: "That is the case, since you chose to be silent back then, why do you want to bring it up again now?" And why did you take all my family members to the palace, creating such a situation? ”

"So I ask you if you believe me or not!" The old emperor was a little excited and a little annoyed, and he told Bai Heran, "I took them in to protect them, and I don't want them to get involved in right and wrong again." But if I had known that your grandmother had such a mind, I should not have brought her in this trip and left her to fend for herself. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "It turns out that what the Bai family said has already been heard in the emperor's ears." Sure enough, the halls are not idle, and even I was not aware of their existence. But Your Majesty, where do you start with this protection? Since it was protection, why did you send the two highnesses away from the upper capital? Ah Ran is stupid, and he can't understand many things. ”

"You're stupid, you're stupid!" The old emperor stretched out his finger and pointed at her, but finally sighed, "No wonder you, a little girl's family, how much can you think of?" What's more, with your father's matter in the middle, it is natural for you to think badly. To tell the truth, it's not that I haven't touched the mind of the nine clans of the Bai family, but I am the monarch, and I can't mess up the whole game of chess for my own selfishness. The Ye family's private soldiers are like a stalk in the throat for Dong Qin, and they can't act rashly until they are completely unraveled. ”

"What about when the private soldiers find out? What should the emperor do? She flashed her eyes and looked at the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her, some things gradually became clear, but some things were still a fog. For example, if everyone is called into the palace for protection, what can be protected? Could it be ......

Her heart moved, and she suddenly made a bold idea - "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the capital?" ”

The old emperor laughed, "That's right! This is the Ah Ran I recognize! This is your cleverness and wisdom! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed out the outside of the palace, and then with a stroke of his arm, he swept across most of the upper capital.

"You don't know yet! The Guo family reversed, and the Ye family's private soldiers fully cooperated, and the whole city was wiped out almost overnight. I have been looking for so many years, and it turns out that there are so many private soldiers who actually live in the upper capital. Those ordinary people put down the dishes and chopsticks, and all they lifted were long knives and long swords, and they echoed with the private soldiers outside the city, and at this moment they had controlled everything outside the palace. ”

She frowned tightly, and sure enough, it was the worst outcome.

"So the emperor took all the people I cared about into the palace, because he didn't want them to stay outside and be captured by the enemy." She took a deep breath, "You let His Highness the Ninth and Tenth Highnesses leave the capital, also to lure the snake out of the hole, and at the same time to release the news in order to calculate the account of my father and Concubine Xian Niangniang back then." In this way, people can believe that the two highnesses have really left Beijing, and I, Bai Heran, have really lost power. So those snakes will no longer have any scruples and pour out of their nests, and we will kill them all with a backhand. ”

When she said this, her heart tightened again, "But the emperor, with such a risk, can you really catch them all?" ”

The old emperor was still laughing, smiling a little freely, and he told Bai Heran: "Whether you can fight it all or not, you have to fight tonight!" This matter has been delayed for too long, it can't be delayed any longer, I'm old, and if I drag it out any longer, I'll have to leave all the trouble to you. Not only do I have to be a good emperor, but I also have to be a good father, so I can't leave all the difficulties to future generations. ”

He also sighed when he said this, "It's a pity that when I went to pick up people in the Red Mansion, the Red Mansion was already empty...... Ah Ran, after all, my father can't stand you, and he doesn't take care of all the people you care about. But don't worry, the people in the princess's mansion in Tianci Town will never be fine, I not only have to keep my brother for you, but also have to leave a husband for Lingxi! ”

This sounds light, but in fact only the person who speaks and listens knows how heavy it must be.

She doesn't believe that the emptiness of the Red Mansion means that something has happened to the Red family, and the cunning rabbit is still three holes, not to mention the Hong family, who has been in business for many years. It's just that it's not certain that the Hong family is really fine......

In this life, I still have too much to worry about.

She knelt down, faced the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor, and kowtowed seriously, "Father." "Father, the emperor is already in tears.

Emperor Tianhe trembled his hands and helped her up, "Good boy, get up." You listened to your father and said that you were not wrong, and you did a good job from beginning to end. Including your response and handling in the face of such a catastrophe, I feel more at ease to hand over my most beloved son and the country I care about the most to you. Ah Ran, the situation has become too fast, and I was very passive for a while, the reason why I did this was to lure the snake out of the hole, and secondly, it was also a last resort. I was forced to do this, and there was no way to do it. ”

Bai Heran nodded, "I understand that the other party caught us off guard, and it is not easy for you, Father, to deploy like this in such a situation." Don't worry, Ah Ran is not confused, you have saved so many people in the Bai family, and this favor Ah Ran will be returned. Regardless of whether there was a behind-the-scenes promoter behind the scenes, my father could not escape the blame, the emperor did not harm the nine clans, and he was already a great favor to the Bai family. ”

The old emperor waved his hand, "It's not really that it doesn't harm the nine clans, I also want to lose face, and I have to go over this hurdle in my heart." The army is besieging the city, Ah Ran, you fight with me, help me pass this difficulty, and I will let the Bai family go, except for Bai Xingyan. ”
