After entering the palace the next day, Bai Ling told Mrs. Yunxiao that he was going back to his hometown. Mrs. Yunxiao was reluctant to leave, but she had no position to persuade her to stay.
When she first entered the palace, Mrs. Yunxiao didn't want to dirty her husband's things, so she had nothing except her personal belongings.
"This hairpin is my dowry. It is not expensive. Please accept it as my repayment for your life-saving grace." Mrs. Yunxiao handed the hairpin to Bai Ling. With her black hair,
Because there is no restraint, it tilts down.
"This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." Bai Ling hurriedly declined: "It is a doctor's instinct to save my wife, and it is also to save myself, so my wife doesn't owe me anything."
"Then consider it a thank you gift for chatting with me during this time. If you hadn't come to accompany me from time to time, maybe I would have forgotten that people can talk and chat without precautions," Mrs. Yunxiao said.
"I feel relaxed chatting with Madam. The pleasure is mutual, and I can't accept it anymore." Bai Ling still refused.
"I insist on sending it, but you always have various reasons to shirk it. But because of the texture of this hairpin, you don't like it? Or do you think our age difference is too big and I don't deserve to be friends with you?" Mrs. Yunxiao asked pretending to be angry.
road.
A beauty is a beauty, even if she is old, her every smile is enough to touch people's hearts.
Especially with such a feigned anger, it makes people feel that they have sinned, and they can't bear to refuse.
"Madam said that, I have no reason to refuse anymore." Bai Ling took the hairpin with a smile and put it on his head. He then pulled out his favorite jade hairpin and gave it to Madam Yunxiao, "Since it is
Friends, you should reciprocate with courtesy, and I hope Madam will not dislike you."
"You girl, you are just too transparent." Mrs. Yunxiao laughed, took the hairpin, played with it, and asked, "Is this the medicinal jade worth tens of thousands of gold?"
"Madam, you know?" Bai Ling was a little surprised. Seeing Madam Yunxiao's indifferent expression, he introduced the efficacy of the medicinal jade, and finally warned: "Madam, if you don't mind it, bring it with you every day. It will be beneficial and harmless."
"I will." Mrs. Yunxiao nodded, but put it in her sleeve.
The two chatted for a while, and then Bai Ling said goodbye and left.
At Yunxiao Palace, someone immediately went to report to the emperor, every detail.
Not long after, Mrs. Yunxiao sent someone to invite the emperor over. This was the first time Mrs. Yunxiao spoke, and the emperor was extremely excited.
Different from the past, Mrs. Yunxiao specially ordered someone to serve tea today, obviously to chat with the emperor for a while.
"I have asked someone to select some hairpins for you. Use them as you like." The emperor looked at Mrs. Yunxiao, whose long hair was only tied with a piece of brocade cloth, and said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I don't need to worry about it. Miss Bai gave me a hairpin. I like it very much." Mrs. Yunxiao said distantly, looking at the emperor with eyes like a pool of stagnant water, without any emotion, even her hatred was hidden by her.
"I want to see my relatives."
The emperor's smile froze and he asked unnaturally: "Don't you want to see them? Why did you suddenly mention this?"
"They are all dead, right?" Mrs. Yunxiao asked after a moment of silence.
The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, but when he saw Mrs. Yunxiao's see-through eyes, he couldn't tell any lies.
"Then please ask the emperor to check Bai Ling's father. I suspect that he is my sister's son." Mrs. Yunxiao's fingertips trembled slightly, trying to maintain a calm voice and said: "This is the last time I trust the emperor. I hope
Your Majesty, please don’t let me down.”
The emperor's expression changed, and now he finally understood why Mrs. Yunxiao wanted to see Bai Ling so often and always talk about domestic matters.
If Mrs. Yunxiao hadn't said so, the emperor would have forgotten Mrs. Yunxiao's sister and their missing young son.
"Don't worry, I will find out the truth as soon as possible." The emperor had hope in his heart.
I haven't dared to see Mrs. Yunxiao for so many years, maybe it's because I didn't fulfill my promise to Mrs. Yunxiao.
Mrs. Yunxiao's relatives were exterminated after Mrs. Yunxiao agreed to enter the palace.
The emperor searched for a long time but could not find out who the murderer was. He was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he had no choice but to let it go.
If Bai Sanshu is really the young son, then...
The emperor thought that Mrs. Yunxiao might be willing to accept him because of the Bai family, and could at least meet and talk to him occasionally, so he felt that this matter must be 'true'.
Bai Ling, who left the palace, didn't know the emperor's little plan, but her departure from the palace today was not smooth.
Prince Zhong went to Cining Palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and he and Bai Ling came out of the palace together, saying some strange words from time to time.
The most important thing is that Bai Ling noticed an unusual aura on Prince Zhong's body, which made her feel uncomfortable all over and just wanted to hide away.
"What's wrong? You look so ugly?" After leaving the palace, Shangguan Yu immediately came up to him and asked with concern.
"Let's go quickly and talk about it when we get back." Bai Ling took Shangguan Yu's arm and winked at him.
It was not that Shangguan Yu had not seen Prince Zhong, but nodding and saluting was not considered a breach of etiquette. After all, there was nothing to say to him.
"Isn't it good to be a princess in Prince Zhong's palace?" Prince Zhong strode over, looked at Shangguan Yu and asked: "Although they are both princesses, they are very different. The palace of the Han Dynasty cannot be compared with the royal family. If
If you take the title of royal princess, you will become an in-law."
"I just pretend I haven't heard what Prince Zhong said, and I don't want to hear it again in the future." Shangguan Yu's face darkened, and he pulled Bai Ling away.
No matter what the loyal king's intention is, saying such words at the gate of the palace is purely to alienate the relationship between the king and his ministers.
Moreover, Prince Zhong personally expressed his intention to marry, and Princess Ruyi was just messing around, which had completely different meanings.
"Wouldn't it be impolite for you to do this?" Bai Ling, who was pulled into the carriage, saw that Shangguan Yu didn't look very well, so he deliberately said in a joking tone: "Then Prince Zhong is already over fifty years old.
You should respect your elders."
"Are you indifferent if someone comes to snatch your husband?" Shangguan Yu pressed Bai Ling on his shoulder punitively and said in a muffled voice.
"Would you give up such a good fiancée like me to marry Princess Ruyi?" Bai Ling raised Shangguan Yu's chin in a funny way and asked playfully.
"Unless I have a brain disease!" Shangguan Yu tilted his head, but could not escape Bai Ling's clutches, and warned depressingly: "If I really have a brain disease, you have to be responsible for curing me, otherwise I will
I won’t let you go.”
"Then what are you afraid of?" Bai Ling simply lay on Shangguan Yu's lap and looked at him.
"Who said I'm scared?" Shangguan Yu frowned and refused to admit it, but Bai Ling held his face with both hands and looked into those eyes that said, "I can see through it." Shangguan Yu could only say honestly: "A Ruyi County
Lord, there is nothing to be afraid of, but that person, King Zhong..."
Shangguan Yu couldn't find an adjective for a while, and after a long time he sighed: "I'm afraid that if he goes to ask the Queen Mother or the Emperor to grant a marriage, as long as the loyal king opens his mouth, there will definitely be complications."
"But doesn't the Han Palace have special privileges? It is up to oneself to decide on the marriage of the children, and the royal family is not allowed to interfere?" Bai Ling became serious.
In the past, he didn't care about the existence of Princess Ruyi, partly because Bai Ling was sure that Shangguan Yu would not like that kind of woman and would not pose a threat to her.
Moreover, the heirs of the Han Dynasty were free to marry, which was a preferential treatment given by the founding emperor.
If being a loyal king is special, then this matter must be treated with caution. (To be continued)
