There was a charming atmosphere in the Wanchen Palace, but Xin Ziqi's Yuehua Palace was cold and abnormal.

Xin Ziqi had just learned the news that Tan Qi had not gone to the court, and sneered. She glanced at Yuan Lian, who was sitting beside her, and said, "It's not the first time that Zampu hasn't been to the court recently. ”

"Mrs. Hui, that's true."

Xin Ziqi hinted: "I don't know what the attitude of the civil and military officials is now, if I know that Zampu didn't go to the early dynasty because of his red face and trouble." ”

Yuan Jian completely understood at this time, and he said: "Tomorrow, there will be rumors in the capital that the end of the twilight will disturb the dynasty, and it will probably cause a sensation soon." ”

Xin Ziqi nodded with satisfaction, then took out a note from his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and motioned for Yuan Tie to open it and take a look.

"Ma'am, what is this?"

Xin Ziqi chuckled, making her already delicate face even more charming. She patted Yuan's hand and said, "This is the word that your sister wants me to hand over to you with my own hands." I have to say that the relationship between your brother and sister is really good, which makes me envious. ”

Yuan Tie quietly pulled out his hand and opened the paper. It is indeed Yuan Sakura's handwriting, only a few words: Sakura is fine, brother don't read it.

Yuan Lian's eyes darkened a little, and then he thanked him: "Thank you, Mrs., I will retire first today." ”

Xin Ziqi looked at Yuan Lian's somewhat messy footsteps and hooked the corners of his lips. Sure enough, in this world of the jungle, there can be no feelings.

The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. A few days later, the groundless news reached Tan Ash's ears.

In the past few days, he has been busy listening to the advice of the ministers who have tried their best to speak, but he still looks indifferent. Tan Ji threw grapes into his mouth, looked at the old ministers, and said, "Are you all old and confused, you all believe this kind of." ”

Everyone was silent, for fear that they would touch the mold by making a noise. In the end, the eldest Li Yuran mustered up the courage to admonish: "It's not that the ministers don't believe it, it's that this rumor is spread by Yu Lie." In the long run, I am afraid that it will shake the people's hearts. ”

Tan Ji didn't laugh angrily, stretched out his hand and threw a book at Li Yuran's feet, and said, "Do you still want to take care of my harem now?" You might as well take a look at this recital. The Xiliangsha storm raged, and the people's houses were destroyed, and there was a lot of mourning. Tell me how you're going to solve this problem. ”

Li Yuran was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Zampu doesn't know anything. Just after the war, all the money from the Ministry of Industry was used to repair military buildings, and there was really no surplus to build private houses. ”

Tan Qi slapped the table with anger: "The people are not stable, and they still want to stabilize the city-state." Other countries did not attack, but the people began to revolt. ”

Li Yuran didn't dare to make a random decision, so he dared to ask again: "Did Zampu order the old minister to solve the destruction of the Xiliang house first, and leave the military defense alone?" ”

Tan Qi waved his hand at him, and said impatiently: "I understand, why don't you go quickly, why are you standing." ”

When the other courtiers heard this, they knelt down one after another and said, "Zampu, this must not be." If someone invades my Wulan again, won't there be no place to maneuver. ”

Tan Qi's eyes dimmed, and he said meaningfully: "Just do what I say, this military defense will not be needed for a while." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say more, so they had to retreat.

Bai Gulan, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, was kicking a stone in boredom. Unexpectedly, it was only half a pillar of incense, and the people inside all retreated. He looked into the hall for a moment, and when he saw Tan Ji pressing one hand on his temple, he stepped directly into it, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Tan Qi glanced sideways at Bai Gulan and ignored it.

Bai Gulan was not annoyed, and sat down opposite the sandalwood ash very naturally. He tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said mockingly: "I was threatened not to be absent from the early dynasty before, but it was you, Zampu, who left his post without permission because of his addiction to women, it was really interesting." ”

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now."

Hearing this, Bai Gulan still asked very persistently: "Zampu didn't know what to do a few days ago, and there was no news. ”

What he didn't expect was that Tan Qi suddenly angrily lifted everything off the table, and roared with scarlet eyes in the corners: "Why are you all so interested in the private affairs of this king." Everyone was eyeing me and didn't want me to get better. ”

Bai Gulan patiently picked up the messy things on the ground one by one, and then put them back in an orderly manner. He pretended not to know anything and asked, "Zampu, why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Which of us here and outside doesn't want to be good for Zampu or Wu Lan. ”

Tan Qi sneered and said, "Don't pretend, in fact, I know in my heart that it was you who told Xin Ziqi something, so she has been making small moves recently." ”

Bai Gulan stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and said unhurriedly: "I didn't do anything, I just told Xin Ziqi what I had done at the end of the twilight." How can Xin Ziqi's actions depend on me? ”

Tan Qi suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Gulan's collar, then lifted him to himself, and said, "Some things can be done in moderation, I think I can spare you a few times in the past." If you exceed the limit of patience, don't blame me for being merciless. ”

Bai Gulan stretched out his hand to break the confinement of Tan Qi, and said without showing weakness: "I always knew that you were ruthless, but I didn't expect you to be unrighteous. You and I grew up together with Xin Ziqi since childhood, and we are like brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect you to cut off your arms for a piece of clothing. ”

Tan Qi glanced at Bai Gulan coldly: "You misunderstood, I have never regarded women as clothes." It's because I'm concerned about our relationship that I've turned a blind eye lately, but I didn't expect you to start being unscrupulous. As I said, everyone pays for what they do. ”

When Bai Gulan heard this, he felt extremely ironic. He sneered disdainfully and asked, "I'm afraid Zampu just wants the two of us to pay the price." Zampu disguised herself as a man and killed so many Wu Lan soldiers, why didn't she pay the price first. ”

Tan Qi suddenly showed a triumphant smile, he hugged his chest, looked down at Bai Gulan and said, "It turns out that you already knew that she was Ling Dui. So that's why Xin Ziqi was willing to be used by you? ”

Only then did Bai Gulan realize that he had been fooled. What Tan Ji said should have been trying to trap himself, but he didn't expect that he would be planted in his hands again. In fact, he has always regarded this information as his hole card, and now that it has been revealed, he has no way out.
