200 - but

"Tell me, why don't you talk about it?"

When the day was approaching dawn, the empress's cold scolding came from the imperial study.

At this time, Wang Xiaolai had already woken up and stood in place with his head down, and he also knew that he had caused a big disaster this time.

The empress wrapped her hands behind her back and circled Wang Xiao back and forth, the latter holding her right arm, blood sticking to her hair on her head, and her face was so dirty that she couldn't see her original appearance clearly.

"Wang Xiaolai, Wang Xiaolai, you are really capable, you really give me a long face, how can I praise you? Well? The empress said in a cold tone.

"Then Your Majesty, you don't need to praise it, it's all a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning."

The empress was furious: "Didn't I praise you!" โ€

Wang Xiaolai shrank his neck in fright.

The empress pointed at Wang Xiaolai emotionally: "You can, you can, just lead my Yulin Army to Fireworks Willow Lane, and dare to beat the Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty, okay, Wang Xiaolai, what else do you dare not do?" Well? โ€

"Not Your Majesty, you listen to my explanation."

The empress snorted: "Explanation, what is there to explain?" โ€

"Actually, there's a reason why I took them to Feng Accord."

"Okay, then you say, I'll listen."

"When I was in Silla, I promised them, Your Majesty, you don't want me to become a person who doesn't believe in my word, do you?" Wang Xiaolai pretended to be helpless.

The empress laughed, the laughter fell, and then the cold fell: "So is this the reason why you took people to the Qinglou?" โ€

"It's not Your Majesty, it's not like we, the three hundred, to go somewhere else."

"Then you have to go to the Qinglou?" The Empress raised her voice by two tones.

Wang Xiaolai immediately shut up, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak.

The empress snorted again: "What's the matter with that Fengyue girl named Qiu Wen?" โ€

Wang Xiaolai raised his head, looked at the empress, and said blankly.

The empress kicked over: "Don't pretend to be confused, it's the prostitute you robbed with Fan Lin." โ€

Wang Xiaolai hissed: "Then Your Majesty, in fact, that Qiu Wen was originally ordered by me." โ€

As soon as he said this, the empress's gaze became cold at a few angles.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, nothing happened to me and her." โ€

The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai, and her expression seemed to say, do you think I believe it?

"It's really Your Majesty, that little girl is only fifteen years old, no matter how much I have no bottom line, I can't do anything to her, right, I'm just looking for her to come over for a drink and chat, other than that, nothing."

"Then how did you get into a fight with Fan Lin?" The Empress asked.

As soon as he heard this, Wang Xiaolai was instantly excited: "It's not Cheng Degao's bastard, he and Feng Sansheng entered my room, and without saying a word, they first pressed me to the ground and beat me, Your Majesty, you see that the injury on my head was caused by those two bastards." โ€

The empress said: "If they beat you, you will go to fight Fan Lin?" He is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, do you know? You are a lieutenant of Fengche, and you will be killed if you commit the following crimes, and if you are serious, you will be killed. โ€

Wang Xiaolai was frightened by the empress's words, and his whole body was excited: "Your Majesty, don't scare me, when I do it, I don't know that the old boy is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." โ€

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean he's not."

"It's not Your Majesty, that old boy also did it to me, and he specially greeted the vital places, don't believe it, look at my body, it's all bruises from that old guy."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai took off his clothes.

The empress waved her hand: "Okay, okay, you put on your clothes, don't let me see it." โ€

"Oh."

The empress sighed and sat down after going back to the dragon book case.

For a while, there was silence in the imperial study, the empress did not speak, and Wang Xiaolai did not dare to squeak.

"Little Laizi."

The empress shouted.

"Ah, what's wrong, Your Majesty." Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress looked at him: "No matter what, you took the lead in beating the second-grade Shangshu of the imperial court, and I may not be able to protect you this time." โ€

Wang Xiaolai panicked when he heard this: "Huh? Your Majesty, I won't really be beheaded, I swear, it was really that old boy who spoke out first, plus I had just been beaten by Cheng Degao, and I was angry, and I also drank some wine before I did anything to him. โ€

The empress frowned: "Where do you want to go?" โ€

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to kill me?" โ€

The empress snorted: "I really want to cut off your head, so I can make some trouble, you can tell me, it has been less than half a year since you killed Wan Qingshan last time, and you have beaten Fan Lin again, alas..."

Wang Xiaolai was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, but accidentally touched the wound, and hissed with bared teeth.

The empress looked at him: "Does it hurt?" โ€

Wang Xiaolai grinned reluctantly: "I'm tired of Your Majesty, I'm okay, Fan Lin and they are much more serious than me." โ€

The empress also laughed angrily: "You are still in the mood to laugh, I am almost sad to death." โ€

Wang Xiaolai bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." โ€

The empress waved her hand: "Okay, it's too late to say this at this time, if you don't give you some punishment this time, you won't have a long memory next time." โ€

Wang Xiao came to see the empress, and he didn't know what kind of punishment the empress was going to give herself.

"Don't think about being Captain Fengche, so let's prepare, go to the Wangcheng Guards, there is Wuhou Lu Gongyou watching you, I can rest assured." Empress Dao.

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Lu Gongyou, is that the man who led the team to put me in prison?" โ€

The empress nodded: "That's right, in addition to being the commander of the Wangcheng Guard, he is also the adoptive father of Narcissus. โ€

As soon as he heard this, Wang Xiaolai made a solid move, but anyone who had anything to do with narcissus, Wang Xiaolai felt very terrible.

"Your Majesty, will I not succeed?" Wang Xiaolai cried with a sad face.

The empress shook her head: "No." โ€

"But my paper mill?"

"I will deal with the matter of the paper mill, and now, the main thing to deal with is how to end the disaster you broke through this time." The empress was heartbroken.

When Wang Xiaolai heard this, he sighed: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will listen to you." โ€

"Someone's coming."

The Empress raised her head and shouted.

Outside, Grandpa Le came in: "Your Majesty." โ€

"Invite Duke Lu."

"Yes."

After a while, Lu Gongyou came in from outside, entered the hall, and performed a military etiquette: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" โ€

The empress got up and said, "Duke Lu, I want to give you someone, I don't know what Duke Lu wants?" โ€

Lu Gongyou was stunned: "Give it to the minister?" Who? โ€

The empress pointed to Wang Xiaolai, who was grinning next to her: "He, the former lieutenant of Fengche, Wang Xiaolai." โ€

Lu Gongyou looked back in astonishment, and saw Wang Xiaolai, who was almost like a beggar, but he didn't react at that time.

Seeing Lu Gongyou looking at himself, Wang Xiaolai raised his hand and greeted Lu Gongyou: "Hi, hello." โ€

Lu Gongyou: "ยทยทยท"

"Xiao Laizi, you go to the Tai Hospital first to take a look at the situation, I have something to say to Lu Gong alone." Empress Dao.

Wang Xiaolai snorted: "Then Your Majesty, I'll go first." โ€

"Go, go, go."

After Wang Xiaolai left, Lu Gongyou finally couldn't help it, so he asked the empress; "Your Majesty, isn't he the one who beat Fan Shangshu? Why did you put him with me? If Fan Shangshu makes a fuss, how do you answer, Your Majesty? โ€

The empress sighed: "Fan Lin is the mainstay of the Qingzhou Party, and it is true that he is an important member of the court, but this Wang Xiaolai, in my heart, is a hundred times stronger than that Fan Lin, for the sake of a Fan Lin, I am always a little unhappy to hand him over." โ€

Lu Gongyou wondered: "Wang Xiaolai? Just him? โ€

The empress nodded: "What, doesn't Duke Lu believe it?" โ€

Lu Gongyou pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't believe it, but the deeds of this Wang Xiaolai, the minister has heard Narcissus talk about it." โ€

As soon as Lu Gongyou said this, the empress became interested: "Oh, what did Narcissus tell you?" โ€

Lu Gongyou said: "The death of Wan Qingshan a few years ago, Narcissus said that it had something to do with Wang Xiaolai. โ€

"That's right, and he still seems to be the mastermind."

Narcissus also said that Wang Xiaolai is a person who is lawless, does not understand etiquette, is greedy for money and lust, timid and afraid of things, and does not look like a person who has achieved great things at all. Your Majesty, I can't figure it out, why are you so concerned about him? Lu Gong said.

The empress smirked: "It seems that Xiao Laizi's status in the eyes of Narcissus is indeed not high, Lu Gong." โ€

Lu Gongyou hurriedly clenched his fists: "The minister is here." โ€

The empress said: "Narcissus originally hated Xiao Laizi, and naturally told you that it was also the bad side of Xiao Laizi, but..."

Lu Gongyou was stunned: "But? โ€
