Bai Lihuang, who had become a habit of defending Concubine Shu for so many years, subconsciously wanted to reprimand Chu Qianlan, but in the end, he only let out a light sigh, "She is your mother!" ”

Chu Qianlan laughed, "Of course she is my mother's concubine." io”

Bai Lihuang looked at him with heavy eyes, and only after a while did he ask with some difficulty under his dazzling and sneering smile, "You...... Do you remember what your mother used to look like? ”

"I don't remember." Chu Qianlan replied simply, "How old was Erchen at that time?" ”

"You remember. How many? ”

Chu Qianlan paused, and the smile on the corner of her lips seemed to be a little stiff: "She was also gentle with me, probably at that time she thought that she was going to stay in Da Chu forever, and I was her only support, so she was also very good to me." However, Erchen really can't remember that she once hugged me and played with me, and later she left Dachu and gave Erchen a dagger for self-defense, telling Erchen that he didn't need to use a big knife to kill people. ”

Bai Lihuang's much deeper amber pupils flashed very quickly, as if he was a little incredulous, and then the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, "Really?" ”

"You won't believe it, so why ask so much?" Chu Qianlan seemed to be a little impatient, "You just have to believe in yourself." If you don't give other orders, your son will leave. ”

"What are you anxious about?" Bai Lihuang frowned in displeasure.

"Although the son-in-law only held an insignificant position in the Taifu Temple, it was also the care of the father and the mother for the son-in-law, how could the son-in-law ignore the wishes of the father and the mother, and naturally he had to be a good errand." Chu Qianlan's tone did not contain the slightest hint of anger.

Bai Lihuang felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, coughed lightly to cover up this embarrassing emotion, and then said in a deep voice: "You can't do it without Taifu Temple?" Sit down and play a game of chess with me----"

didn't wait for Chu Qianlan to speak, so he raised his voice and ordered someone to take the chessboard.

Chu Qianlan had to stay "reluctantly". When the chessboard was put up, Baili Huang let him take the cigarette first.

"When I met your mother, she was just an innocent and lovely little girl who didn't understand the world." Bai Lihuang's eyes fell on the chessboard, and he said as if chatting, "She hurt her leg at that time. Trapped in a cave, unable to move. I found her and rescued her. It can be said that I fell in love with her at first sight. ”

Chu Qianlan didn't say anything, and he also knew that what he was going to do at this time was just a tree hole with other people's secrets as Ruotang had said.

Sure enough, Baili Huang didn't need his response, and said directly: "It's just that when I asked her to go back to the capital with me, she rejected me outright, and only said that she was going to find her companions. I was reluctant to part with her, so I escorted her to her companion under the pretense that she had a wound in the leg, and I told her all about her companion, knowing that her companion was trying to save her. She was very naïve at that time, and unconditionally believed in anyone who was good to her, and I had never seen anyone as simple and deceitful as her, so I decided that I must take her back to the capital. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and saw Chu Qianlan's still unfazed face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth re-raised, "What I decide to do, I can always do." I didn't try to make her see the picture of her trusted companion entangled with other women, and she was heartbroken, did I take advantage of the weakness ---- despicable? ”

"Sort of." Chu Qianlan told the truth.

Bai Lihuang not only did not get angry, but also laughed, he was like hearing the funniest joke in the world, he almost couldn't stop laughing, there seemed to be a slight flash of water in the corner of his eyes, he calmly raised his hand and wiped it, "It's so small, only you dare to answer me like this in front of me." ”

Chu Qianlan said lightly, "When you encounter someone or something you like, if you don't grab it and wait for the opportunity to fall from the sky, it's too stupid." ”

"That's right!" Bai Lihuang's gaze at Chu Qianlan changed a little, "It's worthy of me, at that time, that's what I thought, and I successfully brought her back to the capital." At that time, I was already too much, I could give her everything that her companion could not give her, and I really held her in the palm of my hand and pampered her----"

He pinched his white fingers and suddenly tightened, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, and he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Later, something happened, and I couldn't protect your mother...... Later, when I ascended the throne, the first thing I did was to bring her back from Da Chu. ”

He paused for a long time, as if the whole person had returned to those times with his narration, and after a long time, the white in his hand gently fell on the chessboard, "In this life, I owe her a lot." ”

Chu Qianlan looked at his calm gaze and nodded lightly.

Bai Lihuang was telling him that as long as Concubine Shu didn't touch his bottom line, he could tolerate it. Obviously, the things he knows now have not touched his bottom line.

Looking at Chu Qianlan's calm and unwavering expression, Bai Lihuang suddenly felt bored, and he casually threw the chess on the chessboard, "You kid, you are really not a good person to talk to." ”

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Seeing that Bai Lihuang had no idea of continuing to play chess, Chu Qianlan also casually threw the chess back into the chess jar.

"Alright, let's go." Bai Lihuang waved his hand, looking too lazy to see him again.

Chu Qianlan simply got up and left.

Bai Lihuang's hand unconsciously fell on the chessboard, and a bitter smile slowly floated on his lips, "Ah Rong, don't let me down." ”

Chu Qianlan, who had already walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, smiled coldly with her back in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace.

What is the bottom line of Bailihuang?

He did not hesitate to give up Concubine Shu back then, but he also wanted to keep his position.

His guilt and connivance towards Concubine Shu, the untouchable bottom line separated by him, is just his throne!

……

At night, Baili Huang went to Concubine Shugui's Huaqing Palace as usual.

Concubine Shu served him carelessly and gently, Bai Lihuang put her arms around her, looked down at her face that barely had a single wrinkle, and her fingers caressed her smooth skin like a longing.

"After so many years, Ah Rong is still the same as when I first met you, but I am old." Bai Lihuang sighed lightly and said.

Concubine Shu snuggled in his arms, pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words: "Where did Your Majesty say, in the heart of the concubine, you are the same as when the concubine first saw you, if it wasn't for Your Majesty to rescue the concubine from the cave, maybe the concubine would have been gone." ”

"So, Ah Rong is grateful to me in her heart? Grateful I saved you? Bai Lihuang looked at her with a smile.

"Ah Rong is naturally grateful to Your Majesty." Concubine Shu smiled softly at him, her eyes full of gratitude and satisfaction, "The luckiest thing in this generation of concubines is to meet Your Majesty." ”

Bai Lihuang's fingers caressing her cheek stiffened slightly.

Ever since the suspicion took root in his heart, he had been skeptical of everything she said, how he had loved to hear her say that before, but now, he always felt that she even said it with ulterior motives.

He was only stunned and distracted for a moment, Concubine Shu was already sensitively aware of it, raised her head from his arms, and looked at him with big eyes that were shining, so dependent and worried, as if he was really her heaven and her whole world, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, but it seems that something is wrong with the sudden sound of the next batch." Bai Lihuang casually found a reason to prevaricate.

"It's time to go to bed, how can Your Majesty still think about those government affairs that will never be finished? It's just that something is wrong, and it will be ---- tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Lihuang adjusted his mood and smiled very happily: "By the way, isn't there a girl named Xiaotan in your palace?" A few days ago, I came over and saw her serving in the temple, why haven't I seen anyone in the past two days? ”

Concubine Shugui's eyes flashed slightly, "Xiaotan? It's hard for Your Majesty to remember her, but that girl has already let the concubine out of the palace, her mother is sick and dying, begging to come to the concubine, and the concubine can't stop her, so let her go---- Your Majesty won't blame the concubine, right? ”

"It's just a palace maid," Bai Lihuang patted her shoulder and smiled: "You, you are so kind, the Rushui in front is like this, and Xiao Tan is also like this, the people in this palace don't let you out, otherwise who will serve you?" ”

Concubine Shu laughed together, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart, he mentioned Rushui at this time, is it really just a coincidence?

There is also Xiao Tan's girl, Bai Li Huang is here, except for those who serve closely, he has never paid attention to the palace people in her palace, that Xiao Tan was not serving in the inner hall, but why did Bai Li Huang ask about her? Two days ago, the old grandmother had already told her, saying that Xiaotan and a girl from the catering bureau were both missing, she felt strange and ordered someone to investigate, but she couldn't find any clues. I wanted to ask Guo Gonggong, but Guo Gonggong suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden, often falling asleep, and asked the doctor to take a look, but the doctor looked at it for a long time, but he only said that the weather was too hot and he was old, and he might be able to recover if he recuperated carefully.

She always felt that these things were unusual, but she really couldn't figure out what was unusual.

"Xiaotan's girl has always been waiting outside, and sometimes the concubines don't remember her much, but I don't want Your Majesty to remember it clearly." Concubine Shu played with his fingers and said tentatively.

"It's just that I saw that she was more clever than others, so I said a few more words to her." Baili Huang smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it too much, let's rest." ”

That Xiao Tan is gone, most of them were killed by her---- Bai Lihuang thought subconsciously.

He deliberately mentioned Xiaotan in front of her, she did something wrong, if she was empty, she always had to weigh the things next to her before acting.

He hoped she would stop there!

Halfway through the night, Bai Lihuang beside him was already asleep.

Concubine Shu slowly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the sleeping man beside her, her eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking of his recent abnormal behavior, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She got up lightly, and habitually tucked the thin blanket for Baili Huang first, and then carefully put on soft-soled embroidered shoes and walked out.

Her figure disappeared outside the slightly flickering bead curtain, and Bai Lihuang, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes.

He reached out and touched the corner of the quilt she had tucked for him, and at this time he was both relieved and sad, and he couldn't figure out the complexity himself.

……

Within two days, the news that Lin Guifei was seriously ill reached Bailihuang's ears.

When Baili Huang heard the news, the vermilion pen that had been corrected and folded stopped in mid-air for a long time, and the cinnabar condensed on the tip of the pen dripped silently on the notebook, as if the freshest blood was full of bloody breath.

In the evening of this day, Baili Wenhan looked anxious and asked to see Baili Huang.

"Father, the mother concubine is seriously ill, and the water and rice are no longer enough, and the princess of the Tai Hospital, the doctor and the concubine, is depressed and sick, and it is too late to appear, I am afraid that it will ......"

Bai Li Huang looked at the one kneeling in front of him, he had also cultivated him with his heart, and thought about passing on this throne to him, and he lived up to his expectations and worked hard in the direction he gave, but when did it start, this heir he was most satisfied with, began to have so many hearts and minds?

"Let all the doctors from the Tai Hospital go over, can't we discuss any countermeasures?" Yachang has a younger brother.

"Now that the doctors in the hospital have passed, but the doctors have all said that in such a situation as the concubine, I am afraid that continuing to stay in the palace will not help the condition." Seeing Baili Huang's calm expression, Baili Wenhan continued anxiously and panickedly: "Erchen, Erchen has no other way, so he has to come and beg his father, why don't you move your mother out of the palace for a while, and then return to the palace when she is well." What do you think is good? ”

Bai Lihuang frowned, "Your mother is a palace concubine, how can she leave the palace easily?" Isn't this the incompetence of the hospital's doctors to come up with such an inexplicable method? ”

"Father, the mother concubine is about to ...... when she sees it" Baili Wenhan walked to Baili Huang on his knees and pleaded: "Although there is no precedent for the concubine to leave the palace, but human life is at stake, but if there is a little possibility, the sons and daughters cannot watch the mother concubine her...... The child begs the father! ”

Listening to the sound of "Shugui Concubine Niangniang Jin'an" outside, Bai Lihuang closed his eyes vigorously!

In the end, she still came!

What the two little palace maids didn't understand that night, he understood why Baili Wenhan wanted to send Lin Guifei out of the palace, and she was very happy all day. He didn't want to believe it, after all, Chu Qianlan was her biological child, how could she really join forces with Baili Wenhan to suppress her own son?

He was skeptical of Chu Qianlan's words, but in fact, he preferred to believe that she was a good mother who thought about her children everywhere. What is it that makes a mother prefer to join forces with others to suppress her child? Even Chu Qianlan can be ruthless and treat him like this, what will she do to him?

Bai Lihuang suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and calmly announced that Concubine Shu would enter the palace.

This is the last chance he gave her!

Concubine Shu seemed a little surprised to see Baili Wenhan kneeling at Baili Huang's feet, "Your Majesty? ”

"Don't pay attention to him, you came here in a hurry, but what's the matter?" Bai Lihuang softened his voice, looking at Concubine Shugui's eyes, there was a sense of expectation and nervousness that he didn't even know.

Concubine Shu was stunned by his expectant look, thought about it, and then said, "The Third Highness is here to ask Your Majesty for Concubine Lin?" ”

"Lady Princess." Baili Wenhan turned around and saluted her, and then raised his face with tears streaming down his face, "Please say a word for your mother!" Erchen really didn't lie, and sending his mother out of the palace to recuperate was really what the imperial doctors said. ”

Baili Huang looked at Concubine Shu, and then at Baili Wenhan, and the hand hanging on his lap slowly clenched into a fist!

"Your Majesty, the concubine has just come out of Concubine Lin's palace." Concubine Shu waved her hand to order the people in the hall to withdraw first, and then said softly, "Concubine Lin has always been timid, I heard that she has been frightened all these years, and she doesn't dare to say it. The imperial doctor did suggest that it would be better to send Concubine Lin out of the palace to recuperate in such a situation. Does Your Majesty want to summon the Imperial Doctor over and ask him in person? ”

Bai Lihuang frowned, nodded for a moment and said, "You can just look at the arrangement for this kind of thing, just a little, don't tire yourself." ”

"The concubine is just moving her mouth, where can she get tired?" Concubine Shu smiled and glanced at Baili Wenhan, "Since Concubine Lin is going to be sent out of the palace to recuperate, Your Royal Highness takes advantage of the fact that Concubine Lin is still in the palace, why don't you accompany her more?" ”

Baili Wenhan gratefully saluted her again: "Erchen thanked his father and his mother, and Erchen went to see his mother." ”

After waiting for Bai Lihuang to nod, he withdrew respectfully and gratefully.

"Your Majesty, since you have agreed, the concubine will arrange it, see where it is appropriate to send Lin Guifei to the palace, there is no precedent for the palace concubine to go out of the palace to recuperate, there are many things that the concubine still has to keep an eye on."

"Well, you go get busy." Bai Li Huang smiled at her, but the smile was a little strange no matter how you looked at it.

Concubine Shugui's heart couldn't help jumping, but when she looked at it carefully, Bai Lihuang had already lowered her head and continued to review the recital.

She had to hold back the uneasiness in her heart for the time being and retreated.

Bai Lihuang raised his eyes and watched her figure step out, and her complicated gaze finally became a little cold.

……

"This fire in our palace is almost over, you can find a time to go to the little uncle's side and see what is going on on his side." Chu Qianlan listened to Zhu Nineteen tell him in detail about what happened in the palace today, and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhu Nineteen heard that he was going to find Zhou Houyuan, and his expression immediately became reluctant, "Can the slave let others go, the slave still has a lot of things to do in the palace, and he really can't spare ......"

Chu Qianlan stared at him: "Tell the truth! ”

Zhu Nineteen said with a twist: "Recently, the little uncle has not been in a good mood, and he needs someone to be his punching bag." ”

"Who messed with him again?"

"The girl Yu with the child had a big quarrel with him as soon as she arrived in Liuguo, and he didn't win." Zhu Nineteen said with some schadenfreude, the little uncle trains them like a grandson on weekdays, where would he have thought that the little uncle who is so bullish and coaxed will be scolded by a woman and has no power to fight back? As soon as he thought that he had witnessed the embarrassment of his little uncle, Zhu Nineteen couldn't help but want to laugh.

But when he finished having fun, and then thought that he had witnessed the embarrassment of his little uncle, he went to find his little uncle again, didn't he send it to the door for him to clean up, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

"6 Zhengqing, they have already arrived in the country of Liu, and I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Chu Qianlan patted her head, "Does the princess know this news?" ”

"I don't know yet." Zhu Nineteen said uncertainly, "Why don't you go to the eldest princess's mansion at night to find Ruyi?" ”

Chu Qianlan only glanced at him, and knew what his idea was, and got up and said, "I'll go to the eldest princess's mansion by myself, you still go to the little uncle and ask him if he has done that thing?" If not, even if he doesn't have it, although he is also a handful of firewood, but according to the current situation, even if he lacks his fire, it should be fine. ”

Zhu Nineteen still wanted to struggle, "Why don't you go to the little uncle's side, and the slave will go to ......"

Chu Qianlan's eyes swept away.

Zhu Nineteen wilted in an instant, "Yes, the slave will go." ”

As soon as he went out with his front foot, Chu Qianlan, who had changed into a night suit, also followed out of the palace with his hind foot.

……

Ruotang woke up in a state of suffocation, and before she opened her eyes, she felt that there was a behemoth pressing on her body, but the breath of the person was too familiar, so she didn't subconsciously kick the person down.

Waiting until Chu Qianlan had kissed enough, he was willing to let go of the panting Ruotang, seeing that his eyes were getting darker, Ruotang sighed, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, can you talk about it first?" ”

Chu Qianlan stared at her, and half of the corners of her mouth were hooked with an evil smile, "Xiaotang also knows that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's wait until we do the right thing before talking." ”

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't wait to cover it again, sealing Ruotang's weak protest in his mouth.

As soon as this "business" was done, it took almost half a night.

Ruotang spread out on the bed, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his watery eyes seemed to contain a river of spring water, and he glared at the man who was full of food and drink unhappily, "You are really getting more and more excessive!" ”

"Baby, don't look at me like that." Chu Qianlan's eyes tightened again, and she said to Ruotang as if warning.

Ruotang was so frightened that he was so frightened that he hid in the bed wrapped in a thin blanket, glared at Chu Qianlan with grief and indignation, and shouted tired and complained: "You are simply a beast, do you want people to live?" ”

"I've been restrained, okay?" Chu Qianlan was guarded by her like a thief, and she was also very dissatisfied, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, come over and let me hug me, how many days have I not hugged this?" It seems to have grown a little flesh lately, and I just pinched it, and it seems to be bigger than before? I don't know if it's a delusion, come over and let me confirm it! ”

In response to him, there was a soft pillow that flew in front of him.

Seeing Ruotang glaring at him angrily, Chu Qianlan finally smiled, "Okay, I won't mess with you, it's going to be dawn, and if you don't talk well, you can only wait for next time." ”

"Who is to blame for this?" Ruotang pouted and shouted, in the end, he still turned over slowly, and let him hug him. "How's the palace doing?"

Chu Qianlan smiled proudly, "Don't worry, everything is under control." ”

Ruotang looked at him, and he didn't know how to calculate his own mother like this, how could he still laugh?
