Yuan Bao lowered his head and rubbed a stone on the ground back and forth with his toes, a little gloomy: "I'm just worried that if Mrs. Lin finds out, her heart will be depressed, and it will not be good for her body." ”

Baili Jiu sighed and was helpless: "So I don't know how to speak for a long time." With her temperament, if she is angry with lightning and thunder at me, it will come and go quickly, which is good. is afraid that if she holds it in her heart, she will not say a word. Alas...... Let's hide it from her for the time being, and when the canonization coupon comes down, she will take the antidote, and her body will be better, and then she will reveal the news. ”

Bailijiu had a good idea, and he was somewhat evasive, so when he returned to Yiniantang and saw that Noah was already asleep, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't bear to wake her up, lightly helped her cover the quilt, and then turned around and went back to the study.

He has already launched an investigation into the Killer Pavilion, and he has done many things himself, leaving no trace of it. In the past two days, intelligence has been pouring in like snowflakes from all over the place, and he has to stay up all night to sort out and collect and dig out useful information from the middle.

Almost sleepless all night, he went to the early court before dawn on the second day, and the emperor saw that he was so diligent for the first time, and stood without saying a word, he knew that something must be going on, so after dispersing the court, he summoned him directly to the imperial study.

Baili Jiuxing saluted, handed the fold in his hand to the deacon and eunuch and handed it over. The emperor opened the fold, but after a glance, he threw it on the table, and without saying any reason, he said undoubtedly: "No!" ”

Baili Jiu slowly knelt down: "My Baili family has been loyal for generations, and the only ones who are loyal are Da Chu, and the sky can learn from it." ”

When he said this, he naturally told the emperor that even if he married Qin Zhong'er, he would not cling to any party's forces.

"I remember, you don't seem to want to see this Qin darling, when you first gave the marriage, you pushed back and did not like it in every way, and even turned against Shangshu Mansion for the sake of Mrs. Lin in your mansion, but now you want to write a letter to beg me to canonize her Qin darling as his wife, and give me a reason."

Baili Jiu can't say it clearly, let alone tell the emperor, he has to do it as a last resort, a military general who is easily coerced by a woman, how can the emperor rest assured that the safety of his family and country will be in his hands?

"Xiao Jiu is ridiculous, there are many things that don't despise Qin's darling, and her appearance is ruined, and she feels guilty. She doesn't care about it now, and has repaid her grievances with virtue several times, which makes her feel embarrassed. The minister wanted to give her a name to make up for the guilt in her heart, and it had nothing to do with anything else, so the emperor could rest assured that Xiao Jiu could control his own proportions. ”

"Do you think I'll believe your rhetoric?" The emperor's face sank, and he already understood that he was a little displeased.

"The minister implores the emperor for his permission, and I am very grateful."

The emperor sighed lightly: "I know that Xiao Jiu is not a ridiculous and wanton character, you tell me why, and I will agree to your request." ”

Baili Jiu lowered his head: "It's really just Qin Darling, she wants a name, that's all." ”

The emperor looked at him inquiringly, and finally lost patience and waved his hand at him: "You go back first, Rong Zhen thinks about it." ”

Bailijiu didn't dare to continue to stubbornly ask, and bowed down: "Erchen retires, thank you to the emperor for your success." ”

"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly, threw the fold in his hand casually, and fell to the ground, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Baili Jiuxuan asked the emperor to play in the imperial study, not in the court, because he wanted to carry out this matter quietly and concealed Noya for the time being. Who would have thought that in the afternoon, the palace somehow released a rumor, Qin Shangshu made a special trip to prepare a generous gift, and happily came to the general's mansion to discuss the canonization ceremony with the old general.

The emperor has not yet opened the royal permission of Chrysostom, and the news has spread unexpectedly, and it has spread in a boiling manner, without thinking about it, Bailijiu also knows whose handiwork it is. The queen's party wanted to spread the rumors and create established facts, forcing the emperor to nod and agree.

On the contrary, the people in the General's Mansion were still kept in the dark and did not know about it. The old general and the old lady were also surprised by Bailijiu's sudden decision, and after sending Qin Shangshu away in a few words, they closed the door and asked Bailijiu what the reason was.

This news also spread quickly in the General's Mansion, and the people whispered and discussed, and they all felt a little incredible, but they didn't expect that Qin's favorite, who had always been unfavored, turned over directly and flew up the branch to make a phoenix. This news, along with the discussion of the subordinates, flew directly into Yi Nian Tang and drilled into Noya's ears.

She was lying on a chaise longue leisurely peeling oranges, occasionally throwing orange peels and teasing bubbles.

An Ruoxi, who was mocked by Qin's darling, deliberately ran over. She was holding back her anger, so she couldn't get used to seeing Noah so leisurely and comfortable.

She said mysteriously: "I heard that the Ninth Master is in the court today, and he has written to implore the emperor to canonize Qin's darling as his wife, Lin Nuoya, don't you care at all?" ”

It's not that Lin Nuoya doesn't care, but the news hasn't reached her ears yet. She raised her eyes in surprise, and her heart was beating hard.

"Could it be that you don't know? The Ninth Master didn't tell you? An Ruoxi instantly felt balanced in her heart, and it seemed that she was not the worst one.

"The Ninth Master favors you like that, I always thought that the position of the eldest lady would be yours," An Ruoxi pouted: "How to let Qin Darling take it away, the villain has the ambition, I really can't figure it out." ”

Noah lowered her eyelids to hide the emotions in her heart: "Who is talking nonsense here?" ”

"Haha! You still don't believe it? Qin Shangshu has already come to visit for this reason, and I heard that he is going to remarry his daughter again, with beautiful scenery and red makeup, and he came to the church according to his wife's regulations. Now, the old general and the ninth master are discussing marriage in Haitang Bay. ”

"Oh, really?" Nuoya continued to peel the orange in her hand, and seemed to be unimpressed: "Then congratulations to the ninth master." ”

"You're not angry?"

"What are you angry about? This is the Ninth Master's own business. Noah replied lightly.

She didn't even share the same hatred and hatred with herself, and she was indifferent, which made An Ruoxi extremely uncomfortable, snorted coldly, and stood up: "You just continue to pretend, I'll see how long you can pretend." ”

He waved his sleeves away without saying a word.

Noah chuckled mockingly, why is this woman so angry, anyway, the eldest lady always has to be done by someone, it won't be her, it won't be herself, right? So who does it differently?

She continued to peel the oranges in her hand, and even if the oranges in spring were well kept, they had lost their moisture, and they were crumpled and had no appetite. She sped up her hand, peeled all the oranges on the plate, selected all the silk yarns, and then stacked them neatly on the plate one by one, and put them in a pattern, not eating.

The juice from the orange peel splashed into her eyes and burned hotly, and Noah's tears immediately welled up and could not be stopped.

You ask me, "What will I do if you marry another woman?" But what can I do?

The sunlight was a little dazzling, and Noah took the handkerchief on the side to cover her face.

When Bailijiu quietly walked in, Noah curled up motionless in the sunlight, looking as if she was asleep.

The old soup man let her usually bask in the sun more, and the dark Gu worms in her body will be much more honest, and she will really be obedient and obedient. But now that the sun is about to set, and the evening breeze is cold, why doesn't this woman know to put a blanket on her body?

The girls saluted him, and he quickly raised his hand to stop her, fearing that he would alarm her. Bent down straight, picked up the woman curled up on the chaise longue, and walked into the room, the handkerchief on her face slid down, and Bailijiu saw that there were still two undried tears hanging on her eyelashes.

He gently laid Noah on the bed, took off his shoes, took the brocade quilt from the side and covered it, and then went up himself, lay down beside her, and snuggled up to her. Noah didn't move, her breathing was shallow, and it was as if she was asleep.

He took a breath, stretched out his arms, hugged Noah into his arms, hugged her with pity, and said softly, "Listen to me, No'er, things are not as you imagined. ”

The person in his arms was silent and didn't speak, and he didn't say whether he listened or not, so Bailijiu talked about himself.

"Qin Bao'er stole your antidote from the crown princess."

"And then she just wanted the title of a lady."

"I don't think you care too much about these titles."

"I don't think it's too much to ask, and I can do it."

"I promise you, it's really just a name, and I won't have anything with her. I'm going to spoil you just one. ”

"No'er, are you mad at me?"

"If you feel wronged, you can beat me, scold me, pinch me, it's ...... stupid"

Baili Jiu's arms around her became tighter and tighter, but Noah was still silent, as if she was asleep.

Bailijiu stretched out his hand and stroked her hair, not knowing how to explain it. He once promised her a couple for the rest of her life, is this a breach of his oath?

The originally round and fragrant shoulders of the person in his arms now made Bailijiu feel skinny, as if he was hugging a thin piece of paper, and a gust of wind could blow her away from him.

"Nuo'er ......" Baili Jiu called the name of the person in her arms over and over again, as if in this way, she could enter her heart and understand the thoughts in her heart, and she would find that from beginning to end, his Baili Jiu's heart was just stopping at her, and she would be happy about it.

The person in his arms rubbed his heart, and muttered impatiently: "You're so noisy, endless, and don't let people rest in peace?" ”

In a word, as if to awaken the excitement of Bailijiu's body, he lowered his head and gently pecked Noya's forehead, dense, like a drizzle beating on the eaves in summer.
