After not seeing Xie Yan for several days, Luo Junyao was still very happy to see him suddenly in the palace.
Xie Yan was not in a hurry to leave. The two of them cuddled together and softly exchanged their experiences over the past few days.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
The two looked at each other, and Luo Junyao signaled Xie Yan with his eyes in surprise: Have you been discovered?
Xie Yan shook his head.
He still had confidence in his own strength, and he definitely didn't alarm anyone when he entered the palace.
Then it's not for Xie Yan, Luo Junyao thought to himself.
"You stay here first, I'll go out and take a look and act accordingly." Luo Jun stood up and said.
Xie Yan nodded and warned: "Be careful."
Luo Junyao smiled brightly, "Don't worry."
Luo Junyao opened the door and went out, and it was indeed lively outside. The lights in the already dark palace were lit again, illuminating the entire Queen Mother's palace as if it were daytime.
Many people were searching everywhere with lanterns and torches, but they were obviously not coming for her. Those people had very clear goals. They were all heading for the dormitory where Bai Jingrong lived. The other places were just a show-off.
.
Bai Ning and Yun Chang stood outside the hall, looking at the people who suddenly broke in with cold expressions.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Ning asked sharply.
The leading man held a token in his hand and said loudly: "An assassin broke into the palace. Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the Queen Mother and ordered me to come and check."
Bai Ning frowned and said, "My Majesty has already rested. Everything in the palace is fine, and there are no assassins. What's more... there are so many masters around My Majesty, which assassin has the ability to assassinate My Majesty?"
Before she could finish her words, a man in black clothes, who was obviously from the Central Plains, quietly landed next to her.
This man looked to be in his early forties. He arrived silently and waited until he landed on the ground before everyone noticed him. This showed that he was very powerful.
The leading man glanced at him with some vigilance and said in a deep voice: "Even so, I can't feel at ease if I don't see your Majesty. If your Majesty is kidnapped by a thief in the palace, how will you explain to the King?"
Luo Junyao stood under the eaves and watched from a distance. She already understood.
These people did not come for any assassins, but for Bai Jingrong. Ji Zhan probably knew that Bai Jingrong was not in the palace tonight, so he suddenly sent people here to catch him off guard.
Luo Junyao approached her cautiously. Those people just glanced at her casually and didn't pay much attention to her.
Bai Ning said in a deep voice: "My queen doesn't like to be disturbed at night. If you are worried, I will go in and take a look and then come out and report."
"No!" The man said flatly: "The king has ordered that you must see the empress with your own eyes before you can rest assured."
"You!" No one could tell that this was clearly a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.
But there was nothing they could do, because the empress was really not here tonight.
Although the Qi people do not pay as much attention to fame and honor as Dasheng does, the fact that the majestic Queen Mother left the palace late at night without a trace was still criticized by the entire Qi people, especially the powerful people.
Seeing that everyone was blocking the front of the palace and refusing to give in, the man said in a deep voice: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame us for being rude!" After saying that, he gestured to the people behind him, and everyone behind him immediately moved towards him.
Forced to go to the door of the main hall.
The middle-aged man in black's face darkened, a cold light flashed, and the long sword in his hand unsheathed, blocking everyone's way.
"You are so presumptuous!" Bai Ning said sternly: "Do you really think that the Queen Mother does not dare to kill you?"
The man snorted coldly and said: "We followed the king's order, what's the mistake?"
Bai Ning said: "Even the king has no reason to forcefully break into the queen mother's palace late at night!"
The man grinned when he heard this, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "We said that we are worried about the safety of the queen. If you don't want us to go in, that's fine. We just need to ask the queen to come out and say a word to relieve the king's worries.
It's better to go back and do business."
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of letting the queen come out to meet you?" Yun Chang asked.
As a result, it was completely deadlocked.
Luo Junyao stood not far away and watched, as if he was too timid to get close. At this moment, he saw a maid in the corner looking anxiously in the direction of Bai Ning and Yun Chang, as if something was following them.
He said, acting like he couldn't get closer.
Luo Jun rolled his eyes, and while there was a fierce confrontation at the entrance of the palace, no one had time to pay attention to her, so they quietly retreated out.
"What's wrong?" Luo Junyao touched the maid's side and whispered.
The maid looked at her warily, closed her mouth tightly and said nothing.
Luo Junyao said: "Sister Bai Ning must be unable to get away. If you have any words, I can help you pass it on to her." The maid hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "The king's people have surrounded us.
.”
Luo Junyao blinked, and it took him a moment to realize the meaning of her words.
Ji Zhan surrounded Bai Jingrong's palace. Even if Bai Jingrong comes back now, she can't get in.
If Bai Jingrong came in from outside in full view of everyone, it would be confirmed that she left the palace late at night.
According to the rules of the Qi people... even if Bai Jingrong leaves the palace late at night to meet her lover, it's not a big deal, right?
At most, the reputation is not good, but if Bai Jingrong has a bad reputation, how can Ji Zhan have a good reputation?
Why did he deliberately make such a big fuss?
"Your Majesty, now..." Luo Junyao asked tentatively.
The maid shook her head and stopped talking. Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to Sister Bai Ning."
Seeing that the situation in front of the main hall was about to break out, both sides had tightened their hearts. Not far away, a girl's anxious and panicked voice suddenly sounded, "Sister Bai Ning, there are many people outside! We are surrounded, are we going to die?"
Is the king going to kill us?"
A figure flew over and threw herself into Bai Ning's arms.
Bai Ning was also stunned, and had to reach out to catch the person who fell into his arms.
"Sister Bai Ning, are we going to die?" Luo Junyao said with a cry: "Isn't the empress sick? Why do these people force the empress to come out? Your Majesty, if the king is worried, why don't you come to see the empress in person?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was silence in front of the main hall. Bai Ning reacted instantly, reached out and patted Luo Junyao's vest, and sneered at the man: "Isn't it? It's the middle of the night, since the king is worried
Concerning the safety of the queen, why don't you come and visit in person? You people... dare to break into the queen's chamber at night?"
The man was blocked for a moment and was unable to refute.
Bai Ning said coldly: "You want to go in unless all of us are dead. If the king has any doubts, you might as well ask him to come in person. Otherwise, don't blame the queen for doubting the king's filial piety. Our queen is indeed not a noblewoman of the Qi tribe.
, there is no big family support behind it, but it is not something that can be trampled on at will!"
After saying that, Bai Ning said sarcastically: "As the king's biological mother, I wonder if the king will feel proud of being humiliated tonight?"
The man's face changed, and his expression was obviously more troubled.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "We have no intention of offending your Majesty, but an assassin did break into the palace tonight, and Your Majesty is also worried about Your Majesty's safety. Since you said this, I will wait until I report back to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty
If something happens, you will bear all the consequences!"
After saying that, he waved to the people behind him, and everyone stopped gathering in front of the temple and retreated outside.
After a while, the originally bustling palace became quiet, but not all those people retreated. There were still a few people standing scattered throughout the palace, and no one outside the palace gate evacuated.
Even so, Bai Ning was secretly relieved.
"Mr. Tie." Bai Ning looked at the middle-aged man in black. The man nodded silently and disappeared into the night.
"Sister Bai Ning." Luo Junyao leaned next to Bai Ning and called softly.
Bai Ning breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Luo Junyao whispered: "There is a sister over there who said that people are surrounding me outside and I can't get out or get in. Your Majesty..."
Bai Ning comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry."
Yun Chang was very disdainful. She snorted and said, "I really have never seen the world, and I will cry over such a trivial matter. What can they do to us? The queen is here."
Luo Junyao thought to himself, even if those people killed us just now, Bai Jingrong will not be able to do anything when he comes back.
At most, it's just to kill a few people who took action to vent their anger.
"Why did the king do this?" Luo Junyao asked in a low voice, with a bit of uneasiness in his voice, "Is it because of me that the king deliberately made the queen angry?"
"Children's words." Bai Ning said helplessly: "Why would the king act randomly for such a reason? I'm afraid..." Bai Ning was suddenly shocked. Will the empress be in danger outside?
If the king takes action against the empress, they will be like this now...
But then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. The king would never dare to attack the empress openly. If he did it secretly, there were many experts around the empress. It was hard to say who would kill whom.
Although thinking this way, Bai Ning still felt uneasy.
Looking at the cautious girl beside him, Bai Ning had no choice but to persuade her to go back and rest first.
Luo Junyao walked away slowly, and when he returned to the room, Xie Yan had disappeared.
Luo Junyao never doubted that Xie Yan could leave quietly despite being surrounded. When he walked into the inner room, he saw a booklet under his pillow. The booklet should have been on the table outside. Luo Junyao walked over and opened it. Sure enough,
A piece of paper was pulled out from inside.
The handwriting on the paper was written in the secret language of the Secret Word Camp - the commander of the Bai family army had an affair with Bai, Ji Zhan wanted to force Bai to delegate power, and someone close to Bai had Ji Zhan's details.
Three sentences, each one is a big deal.
Luo Junyao was thinking in his mind as he put the paper on the fire and burned it.
Bai Jingrong has an affair with the head coach of Bai Jiajun. Is the relationship between the two people unrequited like Qu Fang's before, or is there so-called interests involved?
Not only did Ji Zhan know that Bai Jingrong was not in the palace tonight, he might even know where Bai Jingrong had been and what he was doing.
He also knew that Bai Jingrong never wanted his lover to know about this matter.
In other words, what Bai Jingrong did tonight was completely contrary to the interests and ideas of the Bai Jiajun coach.
So, what agreement and tacit understanding did Bai Jingrong and the Bai Jiajun coach reach?
No matter what Bai Jingrong did back then, Qu Fang didn't care at all.
But, if Bai Jingrong does this, will he really not overturn?
Luo Junyao couldn't help but put his chin in his hands and thought: Is this the confidence of a stunning beauty?
Although Luo Junyao is occasionally narcissistic, she has never had the confidence to overturn all sentient beings.
Bai Jingrong was still surrounded by people inside and outside the palace. Naturally, Luo Junyao couldn't just sleep like this carelessly.
She was also a little curious as to how Bai Jingrong would resolve this matter tonight.
After waiting for more than an hour, there was finally movement from outside.
Luo Junyao immediately jumped up from the bed and went out quickly.
As expected, the yard was still full of people, and no one was surprised by her appearance, and no one even looked at her.
Bai Ning and Yun Chang had already led the people towards the entrance of the central palace, and those who stayed in the palace to monitor were also heading towards the entrance.
There was no Bai Jingrong at the palace gate. Many people who were originally guarding the palace gate were heading outside, obviously looking to retreat.
Luo Junyao came close to Bai Ning and Yun Chang, looked at this scene and asked curiously: "Sister Bai Ning, what happened? Why did they leave?"
Bai Ning patted her arm and sneered: "I heard that the assassin went to the king's side. There is a chaos there right now. Go back and rest quickly, be careful of the assassin running over and scaring you."
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes quickly. Everyone knew that the so-called assassin was just a cover. Now he said that the assassin had gone to Ji Zhan. Could it be...
Bai Jingrong was angered by her son and planned to teach Ji Zhan a lesson?
This mother and son are really...
Luo Junyao was amazed by the mother and son.
After being warned by Bai Ning, Luo Junyao couldn't show too much curiosity and had to go back to his room in a depressed manner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Behind the scenes, I could hear Yun Chang telling Bai Ning her dissatisfaction with Ji Zhan in a low voice, with a hint of gloating in her words. Bai Ning took his time.
He responded politely, but there was no hint of joy or anger.
Bai Ning is more important than Yun Chang in front of Bai Jingrong because of her own abilities, not just because her surname is Bai.
The royal court of the Qi people is so big, and the excitement in the palace last night spread throughout the entire royal court early in the morning.
In the morning, Ji Zhan finished discussing matters with the Qi tribe's subjects, and came out of the hall with a gloomy face.
At the court meeting, both the dignitaries of the Qi tribe and the generals of the Bai family army made comments about what happened in the palace last night, which made Ji Zhan, the owner of the palace, very unhappy.
What made him even more dissatisfied was that both sides hinted that the Queen Mother had behaved inappropriately, while at the same time they explicitly accused him of sending people to besiege the Queen Mother's palace, which was against filial piety.
The two sides had a great quarrel, but he, the King of Qi, was caught in the middle.
Thinking about what happened last night again, Ji Zhan's face became more and more gloomy.
His mother actually sent someone to assassinate him!
He knew that the man didn't really mean to kill him, but this move was tantamount to a provocation for Ji Zhan, who had just succeeded to the throne.
Ji Zhan's dissatisfaction with Bai Jingrong also reached its highest point.
He doesn't understand why his mother always goes against him.
Because he is half of the Central Plains blood, it is already difficult for him to control all the forces after he succeeds to the throne. His mother will not help him but will always make things difficult for him.
Not to mention the women from the Central Plains, not even the queen mothers of the Qi tribe were so eager to fight for power with their sons. If he loses, what good will it do to her? Does she think that she can still survive without her son to rely on?
The royal court of the Qi people enjoys the status of Queen Mother?
She wanted a puppet King Qi, but did she really think the dignitaries of the Qi tribe could accept a new king who was treated as a puppet by the Queen Mother?
Even after so many years, there are still many people in the Qi tribe who are dissatisfied with their mother and son. Originally, this was the time for mother and son to work together!
"I've met the king." Ji Zhan walked into Bai Jingrong's bedroom with a gloomy face, and saw Bai Jingrong lazily sitting on the soft couch, smiling and talking to Luo Junyao who was sitting next to him.
Seeing him come in, Bai Jingrong still looked relaxed and calm, as if nothing happened last night.
"A-Zhan is here." Bai Jingrong smiled and stretched out her hand towards Ji Zhan, saying: "You weren't scared last night. Come over here and let your mother take a look."
"I have met the king."
Ji Zhan glanced at Luo Junyao coldly. He had heard from his subordinates that the girl named Chu Chu also came forward last night. If she hadn't run out at the critical moment, his people might have rushed into the dormitory.
Ji Zhan snorted coldly and strolled up to Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong sat up, smiled and raised her hand to gently caress Ji Zhan's handsome face, "You look bad. Is it because you didn't sleep well last night?"
Ji Zhan was condescending and happened to see some traces of ambiguity under Bai Jingrong's loose clothes, and his face became more and more gloomy and cold.
"Azhan." The smile on Bai Jingrong's face gradually faded, and she looked indifferently at her son who was much taller than her.
Ji Zhan ignored Luo Junyao and still stood beside him, staring at Bai Jingrong and said coldly: "Does the mother really want her son to die?"
Bai Jingrong said softly: "What are you talking about? You are the child that your mother worked so hard to give birth to and raise. How could your mother be willing to let you die? It's just A Zhan, you made a lot of trouble. Didn't you go too far last night?"
Ji Zhan was so angry that he sneered twice and said, "I'm going too far?! Do you think I don't know what you did last night?"
Bai Jingrong said: "No matter what I do, it is none of your business. A-Zhan, it would be great if you were as obedient as before. What a pity..."
Ji Zhan said coldly: "In mother's heart, what does it mean to be obedient? Like my two younger brothers?"
"What's wrong with them?" Bai Jingrong asked.
"If one of them dies, the other's life will be the same as if he were dead." Ji Zhan said: "Mother, I am King Qi."
Bai Jingrong was a little uninterested and said coldly: "That's it, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Ji Zhan looked at her and said: "Last night was the last time. I hope my mother will stay in the palace well from today on. If there is another time, don't blame my son for being unfilial."
"Oh?" Bai Jingrong said, "You really want to put me under house arrest."
Ji Zhan said coldly: "Until the tributes from all tribes are over, please mother not to step out of the palace gate. Please remember this." After saying that, Ji Zhan turned around and walked away without ceremony.
Behind him, Bai Jingrong stared at his back with cold eyes and said coldly: "Ji Zhan."
"Empress?" Luo Junyao looked at the murderous intent in Bai Jingrong's eyes, and was secretly surprised at the bad relationship between Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan.
Bai Jingrong looked at her calmly, the killing intent in his eyes slowly dissipating.
After a while, Bai Jingrong said slowly: "He thought he had become King Qi and wanted to get rid of me as his mother."
"Empress, Your Majesty..."
Bai Jingrong snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "You ungrateful thing! If I hadn't been unfortunate enough to be born a woman, why would I have given birth to such a thing!"
Seeing the cold and hateful look on her face, Luo Junyao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to comfort her.
What Bai Jingrong said was not wrong. If she had been a man, she would have legitimately taken over all the forces when her brother died, instead of being forced to take part of the Bai family army to flee outside the Great Wall and rely on the Qi people.
Regardless of success or failure, she should be convinced.
But the world is so unfair and does not give her a chance to be convinced of her defeat. The world cannot accept her taking over the Bai family as a princess.
Even those who are still loyal to her are not only obsessed with her beauty, but also put their hope in her heirs.
Even if they have foreign blood, in the eyes of these people, men of Bai family blood are still more worthy of their loyalty than Bai Jingrong, who is a woman.
For this reason, after Ji Zhan grew up, these people gradually became more inclined to Ji Zhan.
How can Bai Jingrong be reconciled to this? How can he not hate it?
Ji Zhan's defense and resistance to her at this time undoubtedly irritated Bai Jingrong even more.
She couldn't tolerate Ji Zhan's betrayal, just like she couldn't accept that she had been planning for half her life, but in the end she could only make wedding dresses for others.
Even if this other person is her biological son.
