Chapter Seventy-Six: Abandoning the Pawn to Protect the Car
Yan Jiabu's net is very tight, and a few days ago, Bo Yan has no room to breathe, it seems that the overall situation has been decided, if it weren't for Zhao Xueyan's excuse to drag, the Bo family should have been disposed of a long time ago, Bo Yan looked at the overall situation, and reluctantly realized that there was no chance to break through head-on, so there was only another way to find an opportunity from the side.
After thinking about it, the bell must be tied to the bell, and now it is Yan Qishao who is in control of the overall situation, and it is necessary for him to meet with him in order to find any flaws.
Bo Yan sent someone to secretly invite Yan Qishao into the palace to talk about it, and Yan Qishao also decisively accepted the post, and the time was set for noon the next day.
Bo Yan is now at a loss, so he can only hope for what news he got from the conversation with Yan Qishao.
On the second day, Bo Yan got up early, to be more precise, Bo Yan didn't sleep much all night, thinking about it, since he entered the palace, how many days did he have to sleep peacefully?
Bo Yan looked at some vague shadows in the mirror, trying to blink and distinguish, but he still couldn't see his facial features clearly, Bo Yan sighed helplessly, gave up, and didn't know if his eyes could be better, but if he could get through this crisis, even if he had these eyes like this in his life, he would be willing.
"Mother, what is wrong with you?" Pei Yao handed Bo Yan a clean handkerchief, and looked at Bo Yan's pale face worriedly.
Bo Yan was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover up, pulling the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing, it's nothing." β
Pei Yao frowned: "Who is Niang Niang deceiving, what is this face, I didn't sleep all night last night?" β
Bo Yan stroked his cheek and stared at the face in the mirror vaguely: "Is this obvious?" β
Pei Yao pouted: "The black green under the eyes is about to fall to the ground, and there is no blood on the face, Niangniang can't see it herself?" β
Bo Yan was stunned for a moment, and coughed embarrassedly: "Heh, yes, why is your face so ugly." β
After cleaning his face, Bo Yan handed the handkerchief to Pei Yao and instructed: "Today's makeup is painted carefully for me, so that people can't see the slightest clue." β
Pei Yao answered, sighed faintly, and began to dress up Bo Yan.
Wearing Jin Bu Shao and wearing the gorgeous palace dress of the phoenix and peony, Bo Yan once again returned to the queen mother of the world.
Seeing the blurred influence of himself in the mirror, Bo Yan smiled bitterly, it was still early for Yan Qishao to come, and he was dressed up early, and he was even a little weak-hearted...... Sure enough, this time it was a failure, and I really didn't have any chance of winning......
"Mother." The little eunuch outside whispered.
Bo Yan raised his head, his voice a little nervous: "What? But here? β
The outside world reported: "Back to the Queen Mother, Lord Liu came to meet her. β
"Lord Liu?" Bo Yan raised his eyebrows: "Cousin? What did he come to do? β
Pei Yao looked at Bo Yan and raised her voice to ask outside: "Niangniang didn't summon Lord Liu, what is he doing?" β
The little eunuch outside said: "Back to Niangniang, Lord Liu said that he was entrusted by the Protector of the Kingdom, and he had something to bring to Niangniang." β
"Father." Bo Yan was a little excited, now that the Bo family has been placed under house arrest in the house, they are not allowed to leave for no reason, and they are personally guarded by the Yan family's henchmen, Bo Yan is in the palace, countless pairs of eyes are staring, it is difficult to even want to see Bo Zhongqing, I want to come to Liu Zhao in the people, after all, he is more flexible, so he met Prime Minister Bo.
"Xuan." Bo Yan said.
The main hall of Changning Palace
Bo Yan sat on the top, and Liu Zhao hurriedly walked in.
"See the Queen Mother." Liu Zhao bowed.
Bo Yan faintly saw Liu Zhao's outline, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal for exemption: "No need to be polite, sit down." β
Liu Zhao sat down as he said.
"Can anyone see you when you come to Changning Palace?" Bo Yan asked.
Liu Zhao shook his head and said solemnly: "The outside world is in chaos now, the first emperor was killed, and after the palace change, Weichen bought off the guards guarding the palace gate, just in case, it will be easier to move around in the future, so no one should know about my entry into the palace." β
Bo Yan nodded approvingly: "It's still thoughtful that Lord Liu thinks." β
"I heard that my mother's eyes have regained my sight? How are you doing now? Liu Zhao stared at Bo Yandao with concern.
Bo Yan waved his hand: "It's not in the way, don't mention this first, I heard that my father asked you to talk?" What words did you bring? β
When it came to business, Liu Zhao hid the concern in his eyes, wanted to speak but was a little embarrassed, and was speechless for a while.
Although he couldn't see Liu Zhao's facial expression clearly, Bo Yan could also sensitively feel his hesitation: "If Lord Liu has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Liu Zhao sighed and shook his head: "The Lord Protector only said one sentence...... It's hard to turn around, and you abandon your pawn to protect the car. β
Bo Yan's eyes were shocked, and the hand holding the phoenix chair involuntarily fell to his side.
It's hard to turn things around, and abandon the pawn to protect the car...... Now even my father has given up? What he meant by this was just to let himself not bother to protect the Bo family, so as not to fall into the trap of the Yan family and implicate Zhao Xueyan, is the situation already so grim.
Bo Yan didn't say a word, and sat in his seat a little paralyzed.
"The Queen Mother's ......," Liu Zhao said worriedly.
Bo Yan stared at the void, even with delicate makeup, it was difficult to hide her pale complexion at the moment.
"It's only been a few days since we got to this point." Bo Rouge muttered.
Liu Zhao was full of guilt: "That Yan Rong is too cunning, he has already arranged things, first promised us some sweetness, pretended to surrender, and then deliberately revealed the weaknesses of the Yan family, leading us to go deeper, and he stole the seal of the Bo family and other forged letters," Liu Zhao patted the chair and regretted that he had not been at the beginning: "If I hadn't believed his rhetoric, I wouldn't have ...... The Queen Mother, the lower official...... Xiaguan ......"
Liu Zhao said this, a little unable to continue, if it wasn't for himself, if it wasn't for himself, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to do something for Bo Yan, how could he have listened to Yan Rong's words, if it wasn't for his own meritorious service and wanting to make Bo Yan look down on him, and didn't report this matter to Bo Yan, why would he be in the field today.
Bo Yan heard the self-blame and choking in Liu Zhao's voice, and his heart was mixed for a while, the development of the matter to this point is indeed related to Liu Zhao, but he is also kind, and he can't blame him.
"That's it, it's useless to say these things now, let's think about how to change the status quo, after you leave the palace, find an opportunity to bring a message to your father, just say that this palace will try its best, please be patient, the foundation of the Bo family cannot be ruined," paused, and added: "This palace will try its best to protect the emperor, so that this matter will not affect the emperor, if it reaches the point of no return, this palace will ...... I will abandon the pawn and protect the car as my father said, but before I do it again, I hope my father and mother will cherish it! Bo Yan's words were full of worry, and the reason why he added the latter paragraph was also to reassure Prime Minister Bo, with his degree of foolishness, he was really afraid that he would commit suicide in order not to become a burden to the emperor and himself, and he always had to think of ways to save the lives of the Bo family.
Liu Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Weichen understands that he will inevitably tell the protector." β
Bo Yan nodded, lowered his eyes and thought about something, and suddenly saw Xiao Tai close to the door to send a message: "Empress Dowager Qi, Lord Yan is here, and he is waiting in the palace." β
"Yan Rong?" Bo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his forehead in annoyance, he only cared about talking to Liu Zhao, and even forgot that he had made an appointment with Yan Qishao, and he bothered to show his unhurried side.
Liu Zhao didn't know that Bo Yan had made an appointment to meet Yan Rong, and got up in surprise: "Yan Rong? What did he come to do? β
"It was Hongu who asked him to come." Bo Yan said.
"He ......" Liu Zhao was speechless for a while.
"Lord Liu should go to the back room to hide first, now it is not appropriate for the two of you to meet." Bo Yan said calmly, and tidied up his clothes while talking, and his selfishness was a little nervous.
Liu Zhao glanced at Bo Yan worriedly, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the palace with some annoyance, and finally flicked his sleeves helplessly: "Weichen obeys the order." β
Bo Yan adjusted the most dignified and serious expression, straightened his back, and opened his lips lightly: "Xuan." β
Against the light, Bo Yan dimly saw a brocade figure outside the hall walking slowly, even if it was just a silhouette, he could feel the lofty momentum of the person who came, the footsteps fell to the ground, accompanied by the ring clink, revealing indescribable confidence and pride, such a bearing is comparable to the Yan Qishao who was blinded by others and lived cautiously.
Bo Yan pursed his lower lip, and a layer of fine sweat involuntarily appeared in his palms.
Yan Qishao walked into Changning Palace with his head held high, he finally saw Bo Yan again, he saw Bo Yan with a long-awaited identity, he was the seventh young master of the Yan family, and he was the person in charge of the Yan family, he could finally stand opposite to Bo Yan, and he could finally muster up the courage to be just Bo Yan, just because the current situation was that he was on top and she was below.
"Yan Rong greets the Queen Mother." Yan Qishao leaned over and bowed, but his head was not lowered, he still looked at Bo Yan straight, she hadn't seen her for a long time, her eyebrows and eyes were the same, but she was a little haggard, she thought that she had endured a lot during this time, she was still so good-looking in a phoenix robe, and she always felt that people like Bo Yan should live on the clouds, live in a position that everyone looks up to, and accept everyone's worship, and her side ...... You should have yourself.
Pei Yao looked at Yan Qishao's saluting appearance, pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, looked at Bo Yan and didn't react, so she had to swallow the anger in her heart.
"Excuse yourself and sit down."
Yan Qi sat down and looked at Bo Yan with a smile,
Speaking from the heart, Yan Qi Shaosheng is good, and it is difficult to hide his elegance when he was down, and now the brocade and the spring breeze are even more handsome and can't take their eyes off, he entered the palace today is specially dressed up, he wants to prove to Bo Yan that he is no longer the cowardly and bullying Yan Rong in the past, can he get Bo Yan's side eyes?
Thinking like this, Yan Rong lowered his eyes and smiled, he was so naΓ―ve that he would care about such a detail.
