"Father, it's your next turn." Someone urged faintly, and the voice was warm and warm.

Nuoya raised his head suddenly, Chu Qingchen was sitting cross-legged with the emperor on the rest couch, with a game of chess in the middle, and the two of them were holding black and white, and they were in a good situation.

"I'm just curious why she didn't beg for mercy today, so she has always been sharp-tongued?" The emperor held a sunspot in his hand, talking and laughing, as if he put it aside at will.

"The emperor spares his life! Noah was wronged. Noah immediately pleaded and fell to the ground.

"Naturally, I was scared stupid, and I couldn't react for a while." Chu Qingchen chuckled lightly and dropped his son without hesitation: "Father's momentum, breathing can make heaven and earth change, let alone an ignorant woman who has never seen much of the world." ”

"I've always heard that the emperor has a good relationship with her, and he has always favored her, why didn't he care about it today?" The emperor rubbed the chess pieces in his hand and asked casually.

"Pampered and arrogant, causing some trouble, the child is entrusted by Xin'er to help her take care of it, after all, Xin'er has also received a little favor from her. But in the face of major rights and wrongs, children can distinguish between the important and the important. She dared to trespass on the Taimiao, disrespectful to the ancestors, the sin was unforgivable, and the child naturally had nothing to say. ”

The emperor put down the chess pieces in his hand: "For the sake of this woman, you have a bad relationship with Xiao Jiu, have you been injured better?" ”

"Father, you lost." The second prince proudly dropped the chess pieces in his hand: "This time it is indeed a child who has overstepped it, nosy, no wonder Xiao Jiu and I are against each other." is also a stupid child, smells the chicken and dances every day, practices kung fu diligently, and even loses several times in the competition with Xiao Jiu, losing the face of his father. ”

The emperor laughed heartily: "You and Xiao Jiu are both children that the emperor is proud of, and the ruler is short and the inch is long, why do you want to lose face?" However, this is full of wind and rain in the city, and there are different opinions in the market, which is not very good. ”

"The child knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely restrain himself in the future. Would you be interested in another game? ”

The emperor was also very interested: "The emperor's chess skills have improved a lot. ”

Chu Qingchen said humbly: "It was my father's absent-mindedness for a while, and he was picked up by Qingchen." ”

The emperor nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because of this woman that I am annoyed and distracted." ”

Yan waved his hand impatiently: "Drag it outside the noon gate, behead it at three o'clock in the afternoon, and show it to the public, so as to set an example!" ”

Noya listened to the father and son coming and going, and was chatting energetically, but suddenly changed the tone of the conversation, waved his hand again, and directly decided his life and death.

And Chu Qingchen smiled and lowered his head to fiddle with the chess pieces, as if he didn't care at all, and he didn't defend Nuoya, but he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, as if he had something to say.

Noya got up silently, and was escorted by the guards and walked straight to the noon gate, opposite Xin'er, who was coming on.

Xin'er drank a few guards aggressively, with an anxious expression: "Let's just say that your snacks have been sent to my palace for a long time, but I don't see your figure, it turns out that something happened." How did you end up in the temple? ”

Noya smiled bitterly: "There was a little eunuch who led me there, I couldn't tell where was right, so I naturally fell into a trap." ”

"It just doesn't make sense!" Chu Xin'er was furious: "This is obviously someone deliberately trying to frame you, why didn't my father ask about it?" ”

"Your father seems to have some dislike for me." Lin Nuoya guessed without permission.

Chu Xin'er couldn't help but be stunned: "How come?" ”

As soon as the two of them said a few words, an old eunuch hurried over from the direction of the imperial study and waved his hand at Chu Xin'er: "The tenth princess of Qiyu, the slave passed on the emperor's edict, and the banquet will start immediately, please go back to the Pujia Palace immediately to stay in peace, and do not disturb him to talk with the second prince." ”

This is because the emperor knew that Xin'er was going to intercede for himself, so he first passed on the message and blocked Xin'er's way.

Xin'er was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, stomping her feet and shouting: "I was about to go to my father to theorize, how could he be like this!" ”

The old eunuch was very close to Xin'er, and was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded: "You can't disobey the emperor's command, even the second prince is silent and doesn't dare to speak, the tenth princess must not be impulsive and rash." ”

Noya couldn't bear to implicate Xin'er by herself, but persuaded her with peace of mind: "Listen to my father-in-law's words, go back to the Pujia Palace, maybe the emperor's anger will disappear in a while." My life is hard, and I have come under the knife many times. ”

Xin'er grew up in the royal family, although she is rude, but she is not a reckless and reckless character. She turned around in annoyance: "I don't have my father's permission, and I can't leave the palace, but how can I notify Bailijiu to save you?" You can't just watch you get beheaded, can you? I'll go back and beg my mother to go! ”

Noah's heart moved, leaned next to Xin'er's ear, and whispered, "Is the starling brother who sent you last time Baili Jiu still there?" That little thing is very spiritual. ”

Xin'er was stunned for a moment, but she understood in an instant, and without saying a word, she lifted her skirt and ran away in a hurry.

Noya sighed and caressed his worried heart, although he knew that he was highly poisonous, and he was afraid that he would not live long, but the ants were still stealing life, and when the executioner's ghost head knife hung above his head, he was still reluctant and unwilling.

These days, he stayed in the general's palace in peace, and did not do anything to transgress the law, as for letting the emperor deliberately lay down the organs, and he was charged with disrespect. So, what is the mystery in it, I can't figure it out, even if Chu Xin'er and Concubine Xiang come forward, it will be useless, and they can only let Baili Jiu come over and deal with it.

Noah was taken to the noon gate and tied to the flagpole, and the executioner had already begun to sharpen his sword.

She calculated in her heart that there was still more than an hour before three o'clock in the afternoon, and if one hundred miles nine was not in the house, or if the starling made a mistake, her own little life would definitely be a life.

At this time, she calmed down, re-filtered the ins and outs of this matter in her heart, and thought of the emperor's reaction, she was almost sure that this matter was planned by the emperor and wanted to put herself to death. However, he immediately ordered how clean he had clicked, and why should he delay until three o'clock in the afternoon? Could it be that he is just waiting for Baili Jiu to come and save himself?

Her heart sank suddenly, this matter is not impossible, she may just be a lead for the emperor, just to make Baili Jiu lose his square inch in a hurry, and then become the handle of punishment in his hands! I also pretended to be smart and asked Bailijiu for help!

She was suspicious, thinking a lot, and instantly contradicted, on the one hand, she hoped that someone would come to intercede for her, and on the other hand, she didn't want Baili Jiu to fall for the emperor's scheme. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the Baili family has been loyal for generations, worrying about the country and the people, is his emperor still not at ease?

She was worried about acting recklessly, only to feel anxious, and was basked by the hot midday sun, sweating profusely, flustered and short of breath, tilted her head, and passed out.

Although he was a death row prisoner, he fainted, and the guards did not dare to slack off, and after discussing for a while, someone immediately rushed in to report it.

When Noah woke up again, she was already in bed, moving her hands and feet, and untying the ropes, all without hindrance. Someone shouted in surprise: "Wake up, wake up!" ”

She opened her eyelids, a strange room, a strange bed, a strange person, but it was magnificent.

Could it be that he got on Huangquan Road and was hit by the king of Hades?

She reached out and touched her neck, which was still on her head, and did not move.

Outside the house, it sounds lively, and there is a sound of staggering and diligently persuading people to drink.

Someone replied casually: "When you wake up, you get up and eat by yourself, isn't it possible to ask for three or four invitations?" ”

It's the voice of Baili Jiu!

Noya thought that she had returned to the General's Mansion, and she was aggrieved, so she immediately replied without thinking: "The guy who ate almost moved, but you want to invite, I'm afraid you're going to incense to summon the soul!" It depends on whether I like it or not! I'm not happy to come to see you, I'm scared of you! ”

Someone in the courtyard outside was laughing, the door opened, and Xin'er jumped in: "Sister Noya, how are you?" ”

Noah was a little confused, and couldn't figure out the situation: "Where is this?" ”

Xin'er sat down and stayed beside her: "This is my Pujia Palace, the ninth brother and the second brother are eating and drinking outside." ”

"I, I'm not ......" Noah touched his neck again, inexplicably.

Xin'er said with some guilt: "It's just that my father wanted to make a joke with you and Brother Jiu, but I didn't expect it to scare you, I'm sorry." ”

Joke? It is said that human life is like child's play, and the jokes of the emperor's family are all made like this? Noah wanted to explode on the spot.

Baili Jiu saw that she had been grinding for a long time and had not seen anyone, so he walked in impatiently: "Everyone is waiting for you to drink, and the dishes are cold." ”

She scolded the emperor in her heart, and she couldn't get a seizure in front of Chu Xin'er, she smiled reluctantly, pretended to be unwell, and shirked: "I'm a little dizzy, and my whole body is sore, so I won't go out." ”

Xin'er was a little embarrassed, and snorted: "Why don't you want to eat something, I'll order someone to bring it in for you?" ”

Baili Jiu cleared his throat: "Ahem, don't open a dyeing shop with some color, Concubine Xiang and Mrs. Hui are outside, so let's go out and salute." After saying that, he carried Xin'er on his back and blinked secretly.

Noah thought that he still had to save some face outside, so he got up and got out of bed, and was half hugged and half-hugged out of the house.

Today's weather is good, Xin'er's banquet is set up under the flower stand in the courtyard, everyone saw Nuoya come out, they all stopped the chopsticks in their hands, turned around and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?" ”

In addition to Concubine Xiang and Chu Qingchen, there was also a woman about thirty or forty years old on the table, dressed very plainly, like a lily that was not stained with lead, with a strong bookish atmosphere, sitting next to Chu Qingchen.

Nuoya knew that this must be Chu Qingchen's biological mother, the legendary emperor's most beloved Mrs. Hui. Because she was nameless and had no place in the palace, Noya really didn't know how to salute for a while.
