Baili Mingyu waited for Nalan Lingyu to take the initiative to ask him, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response. He lost his patience and walked around the dragon case to Nalan Lingyu.
"My dear, don't you ask me why I am so happy today?"
Nalan still lowered his head and replied in a business-like manner: "As a minister, I dare not speak nonsense about the emperor's private life. Please forgive me."
Looking at the calm Nalan Baili Mingyu, he felt angry. What he hated most was that he had such a deserted look, as if he didn't care about anyone and didn't take anyone seriously.
He didn't want to know, so he just told him. He really wanted to see if Nalan Lingyu was still so calm when he knew that the woman he loved was married to another man.
"Last night the Queen went to bed, and she kept pestering me. After struggling all night, I was late for court this morning. I have never seen the Queen so enthusiastic. I heard that Aiqing and the Queen had a good personal relationship before entering the palace. Have you ever seen such a charming person?
Queen."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I and the Queen are just casual acquaintances, not a close personal relationship. However, if I want to congratulate the Emperor, the Queen must be in harmony." Nalan still looked calm and calm.
, as if he was not talking about the person he loved deeply, but a stranger.
"Oh? Really. If there is nothing else, Nalan Aiqing can retire."
"Wei Chen resigns."
As soon as Nalan Lingyu left the hall, Baili Mingyu pushed all the memorials on the table to the ground. What kind of casual acquaintance! Do you really think he is blind? This Nalan Lingyu can't stay peacefully without getting rid of Xia Qingxin.
In her harem.
It's not like he hasn't seen her deviousness before. One second she can scold you for life, but the next second she sees her, she immediately puts on a flattering face. If this woman is really law-abiding, she is evil.
When Nalan walked out of the palace, her nails had dug into her flesh, and blood fell on the ground along her sleeves. Although she had originally thought of such an outcome, it was another thing to hear it from others. Her love was definitely not
It was voluntary. If I had the ability to cover the sky with one hand, how could I let her suffer alone in this deep palace?
From then on, Nalan Lingyu spent most of his time at home. He never liked to move around, but now he was at other colleagues' houses every day. Finally, he found a good opportunity.
The General's Mansion.
"General, Master Nalan is here to visit again."
"Tell him you haven't seen him." The servant hurried out again to pass the message.
"Master Nalan, please come back. It is not convenient for my master to see guests today."
"Excuse me, brother, please give this to him, and tell me I'll be waiting outside." He said and gave him a piece of silver. For the sake of the silver, the brother hurried in again.
After a while, he ran out again, sweating profusely, "Sir, please come in with me. My master has agreed to see you."
Just now, the master still looked impatient. I don’t know what method Master Nalan used to make the master willing to see him again. It was really strange.
Nalan Lingyu was brought to the door of the study and the servant withdrew. He opened the door and walked straight in.
General Hu Wei is a general with half a million troops. He became a great general after Xia Houye handed over military power during the Xia War.
"Who are you!" Hu Wei glared angrily, murderous intent filling the entire study.
Nalan turned around and closed the door, as if he could not sense Hu Wei's murderous intent. He cupped his hands and said, "General Hu, don't be angry. I'm not here to blackmail you. I want to cooperate with you."
"Hmph! What you say has no basis and no basis. Why should I believe you?" Hu Wei put his hands on the table and glared at Nalan.
Nalan looked into his eyes without fear, moved his head forward and whispered, "Because we have a common goal."
"I don't understand what Lord Nalan means?" What does Nalan Lingyu want to do?
"Since I'm here, we might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. General Hu wants to subvert the world, and I just want one in the palace. Since we have a common goal, why not cooperate?"
"How did you know?" Hu Wei rushed up in three steps, took out his sword and put it on Nalan Lingyu's neck.
Nalan Lingyu gently pushed the sword away with his fingers and looked at him with a smile: "Master Hu, don't be nervous. If I expose you, you will not come back to your place. Besides, I came here alone. Can't Master Hu see my sincerity?"
?”
Hu Wei retracted his sword and pondered for a while, so it was indeed true.
"What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?"
"Because I have intelligence, and the general only has military power, wouldn't we get the best of both worlds if we cooperate?"
"Why are you doing this?" Hu Wei looked at the fair and clean Nalan and couldn't believe it. He was usually gentle, humble and polite in the court, and he looked independent from the world. He said he looked like a half-immortal.
How come you have a grudge against the man on the dragon throne?
"The hatred of seizing your wife is irreconcilable!" Nalan narrowed his eyes and said such words, with grief and anger all over his body, which made Hu Wei feel sad. No wonder people like him would be angry. This matter would be difficult for any man.
Can't stand it.
"Could it be that he is Xiahou's daughter?" It was rumored that the eldest daughter of the Xia family and Nalan had already been engaged to each other for life. I thought it was just a rumor, but it seems that this is most likely true.
"Don't you know, General? Why ask again?" There was a touch of bitterness in the corner of Nalan's mouth. Everyone knew that he and Qingqing had promised each other for life. The late emperor also gave her to his son, and now his son came to him.
How could he not hate you for showing off your bed?
"If the general doesn't believe me, you can expose me to that person now. Nalan will have no complaints." He had made it clear enough. He was betting that Hu Wei would be moved.
The hourglass was about to run out of sand before he knew it. Nalan sat down and drank tea quietly. He was waiting for Hu Wei's answer. This was very important to both of them. He had endured it for so many years just to make a move when the time came.
Overthrow Wu Le, but for so many years his people have been unable to get involved in important institutions, so he has been reluctant to take action. If not for this, how could the former princess be willing to be the concubine of the son of the enemy who killed her father.
"Okay, I hope Lord Nalan is really as useful as you say."
After waiting for so many years with no chance, maybe this time it will really work.
Nalan looked at Hu Wei's firm eyes and raised the teacup in his hand, and it was finally done.
"You will not disappoint the general, so I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
"Okay! Cheers!" Hu Wei picked up the tea cup and took a sip of wine. Nalan laughed when he saw the bold Hu Wei. This good tea was wasted.
Qingqing, I finally have my own power. Now I can not only protect myself, but I can also threaten him. As long as he dares to touch you, I will kill him at all costs.
Phoenix Palace.
A new day began again, and the concubines came to Fengchu Palace step by step to pay their respects. They all figured out the queen's thoughts. She didn't like to be disturbed in the early morning, so they all came late.
"Greetings to the Queen."
"Get flat."
Xia Qingxin felt a headache when she saw this group of warblers. She came to her place every day to ask for her blessings and chattered about such trivial things. It was really annoying.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
Just when Xia Qingxin was holding her forehead and lamenting, she heard a voice of concern, but it sounded so familiar. When she looked up, she saw Xia Qingcheng's face, but she was not as showy as she was in the house, her face was haggard, as if she was seriously ill.
generally.
"Is it you?" Isn't she wishing she could die? How could she be so kind now? Also, she pretended to be fainted last time and she came here first. Could it be that her conscience found out?
"All of you, please step aside. I've been a little tired recently. Xia Zhaoyi can just stay here and take care of me." She wanted to see what tricks Xia Qingcheng wanted to play. She was an old acquaintance, at least she didn't recognize her.
Too embarrassing.
"Concubine, please retire." Immediately, Fengchu Palace became peaceful.
"Xia Qingcheng, what are you going to do?" Xia Qingxin changed her position and lay on the chair with her back stretched out. At this time, except for the two of them, only Qingzhu was in the main hall. Even Xia Qingcheng's maid was guarding outside. She
No need to worry at all.
Xia Qingxin looked at her and hesitated to speak. She didn't know how to speak, or she didn't know what to say to make her believe that she was truly repentant.
"Qingzhu, come and take off my phoenix crown. I'm so heavy that my neck will be crushed off." Qingzhu looked helplessly at her master. Girls from other families were trying to get into the palace, so she was better, as a
The most noble woman in the world despises this position so much. I'm afraid there won't be another such person in the world.
Xia Qingcheng felt a little sad when she saw that the thing she longed for most was now abandoned by her. It would be great if she could understand this truth earlier.
"You haven't said anything yet?" Xia Qingcheng glanced at her, waiting for her to speak. Why is she mute now? Where is the posture that threatened to perish with her?
"Sister, I'm sorry for you. I know I was wrong. I'm here today to ask for your forgiveness."
Xia Qingcheng suddenly knelt down, which caught Xia Qingcheng off guard. Oops, is this a drama of bitterness? But it doesn't look like it. Could it be that her acting skills have improved a lot?
"Are you trying to trick me in another way?" If so, I would like to give you a cool song. I will not accept this trick. Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of being bitten for ten years.
"Sister, that's not the case. I really realized my mistake. I used to be too persistent. I always thought that all men should be attracted to me. But there are no men who are careless. It's just that it's too late to regret now."
"Really? When you did that to Miss, do you think we will still believe you?" This little girl likes to fight against injustices, and always likes to rush to the front. I don't know whether her hatred of evil is good or bad.
"Since you already know your mistake, I can't help but believe it, right? Okay, I understand, you can go back."
Yesterday, the emperor slept here. He had to find a way to tell Ah Ling. What if he found out that there was a misunderstanding? He was not in the mood to deal with Xia Qingcheng here, so Xia Qingxin issued an eviction order. (To be continued)
