Long Xiguo.

Ann.

It was drizzling.

Chaoyang Palace.

Shen Run, dressed in a light golden gown, sat behind the dragon case, he lowered his head, stared intently at the red gem in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and gently rubbed it with his fingertips.

His face was expressionless, his eyes were indifferent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

At this moment, the sharp sound of dispute outside the palace covered the sound of the rain, and Cheng An, the chief eunuch who was serving in the Chaoyang Palace, was startled, and immediately rushed out to see what was going on, and before he stepped on the threshold, he was pushed aside by a woman who was soaked through. The man barged in in a rage, wet as a chicken in soup, and smelled of fishy water. She rushed to the dragon desk and knelt down heavily, making a sound like she was about to break her legs.

She kowtowed vigorously, weeping, and pleading:

"I beg Your Majesty to spare the concubine's father and brother, and I beg Your Majesty to spare the lives of the two of them for the sake of the concubine's love for following Your Majesty for so many years! The concubine knew that his father and brother had committed a great crime, and the concubine did not dare to ask His Majesty to forgive them, but only begged His Majesty to spare the lives of the two of them! My father and brother have always been loyal to Your Majesty, they just made mistakes in a moment of greed, my father is so old, old diseases have been recurring, serious illnesses, Your Majesty forgives the concubines bluntly, even if Your Majesty does not kill him, he will not live long! The concubine's elder brother died a son in the days when he went to fight in Cangqiu Kingdom, and now he doesn't even have a queen, they are the most loyal to His Majesty, please let Your Majesty spare their lives for the sake of their loyalty to Your Majesty in the past! ”

She wept bitterly as she kowtowed so hard that she broke her forehead, and the bright red blood flowed down her pale forehead, staining her snow-white skin with a touch of bright color. She was drenched, and her light clothes clung tightly to her body, curvy. The beautiful face was wet, and it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears on it. The lips without lipstick are pale pink and stained with raindrops, like a begonia blooming in the rain. She didn't have makeup, and she didn't need to do it, so it was her thin and pale appearance that made her even more endearing. The soaked bun hung slightly to one side, and there were only two handfuls of beads on it, loosely inserted in the hair, the moist beauty tip, and the pale color, I felt pity.

She gave up red today, and she wore a plain white dress.

She cried breathlessly, sadly, miserably, but not ugly. She was about to break people's hearts, Cheng An was a eunuch and couldn't bear to watch it from the side, he couldn't help but peek at His Majesty behind the Dragon Case, wanting to see if His Majesty was moved by Bai Guifei and felt heartache.

However, His Majesty's face was expressionless, and he looked at Bai Guifei coldly, without any fluctuation in his amber eyes.

Shen Run didn't think it was a mistake for him to destroy the Bai family.

At this time period, he needs to start dealing with the moths that will make the DPRK unstable, on the one hand, the moths can be crushed enough to prepare to expand the military spending, on the other hand, there will be a major event that will determine the fate of Long Xiguo in the future, at that time he hopes that there will not be any opposition and nonsense in the DPRK. He wanted all the officials to work together, so the old ministers led by Bai Wanning's father, who had begun to covet comfort, power and money because of old age, had to disappear.

The confiscation of family property and the dismantling of the private party with sufficient evidence were the last contributions they made to Long Xiguo, and they had already fulfilled their value as courtiers.

What's more, the Bai family is ambitious, relying on the credit for supporting him before, greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and the audacity is still delusional to overthrow him, which is really ridiculous!

He also saw that the Bai family had indeed done something for him when he was still King Rong, and he gave the Bai family a little more affection, but made them think that he was afraid of them, and even boasted in private that if it were not for their Bai family, he would definitely not be the emperor.

Shen Run had endured it long enough, enough to give the Bai family face, he thought, if it was the morning light, he would send someone to destroy the Bai family that night after hearing about it......

Why did he think of her again?

A haze flashed in Shen Run's eyes.

Bai Wanning was still crying, crying made him upset, the ruby in the palm of his hand had been covered with heat, because he was cold and remembered the morning light, his heart was a lot more irritable.

He frowned.

Bai Wanning's father did leave a lot of old injuries on the battlefield in his early years, but it is pure nonsense to say that he was seriously ill, but that old fox had a few times to force him to pretend to be sick and not go to court, and if he was really released, he would definitely live for twenty or thirty years.

Bai Wanning blamed Long Xiguo for his brother's last death, Shen Run was annoyed when he heard it and wanted her to go, his brother's son died because of smallpox, and even if the child's father stayed in Qi'an and watched, he would still die, what happened to Long Xiguo? What's the matter with him? It wasn't he who threw smallpox at the boy.

Shen Run was irritable and didn't want to look at Bai Wanning anymore, although he didn't tell her to get out directly, his tone was very impatient.

"You know in your heart what the Bai family's crime is, it's impossible, step down."

Bai Wanning didn't expect that the answer she got after begging for so long was such an indifferent sentence, and he didn't even want to explain to her. Her heart was cold, and she knelt straight in the center of the hall, looking at him with a stiff expression, the blood on her forehead was still dripping, and her eyes were glazed.

She was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, looked at him with hatred, and said coldly:

"I know, I know, you're for that woman, right, you want to get rid of me for that woman, the first step for you to get rid of me is to destroy the Bai family first, and then you destroy me! You detain the crime on the head of the Bai family, so that I am the daughter of a criminal minister, and when she comes, she can pinch me and rub me flat at will, even if I die in this palace, no one will care, and at that time, you will be able to fly with her, right? ”

Shen Run looked at her, he wanted to say so much that he ran out of words.

He just wanted to sneer.

Who does he want to live with and fly with her consent? Do you still have to get rid of her and then go to Shuangsu and Shuangfei? She also thinks too highly of herself.

"Get out." His eyes darkened, and he said coldly.

Bai Wanning held back her crying and stood up from the ground, she glared at him viciously, her eyes were like knives, with tears, revealing a biting chill, she gritted her teeth and said word by word:

"Shen Run, I hate you! I curse you, I curse you in this life, in this life, in this life, forever, and never get her! ”

Cheng An was frightened on the side.

Shen Run's expression was indifferent, he didn't seem to be provoked, not even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

He looked at Bai Wanning and said coldly:

"From today on, Bai Guifei will abolish her position, be demoted to a concubine, enter the cold palace, and think about it behind closed doors."
