The word "animal" gave Li Nanke a lot of information.
Judging from the angry words and emotions of the master's wife Gu Ying, it seems that it is not as simple as having a lover behind her husband's back, but rather with deep hatred.
Thinking of the mistress's special trip to Yuncheng to look for her enemy, an idea suddenly arose in Li Nanke's mind.
Could it be that Master Wife... was bullied?
She never dared to tell her husband, she only wanted to take revenge alone?
The more Li Nanke thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. There is both sympathy and sadness.
What a beast.
A beautiful flower can't bear to be wasted.
By the evening, his wife and Ye Yaoyao had not returned yet. Li Nanke was afraid that Eunuch Yang would find trouble, so he simply ate noodles under Yu Hongye and returned to the Night Patrol Department.
After all, he was under house arrest, and it would be troublesome if he was discovered.
But the noodles served by Chef Yu are a bit salty.
…………
Outside Wuji Hall.
The eldest princess Bai Ruyue, dressed in a luxurious dark black dress, knelt on the cold floor, like a blooming peony, her whole body full of grace and luxury.
Eunuch Yan, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, walked out of the palace door, looked at the eldest princess who had been kneeling for most of the day with a complicated expression, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, Princess, your Majesty will let you in."
"Thank you, Eunuch Yan."
The woman nodded and thanked her, stood up with the help of the maid next to her, gently rubbed her sore knees, and stepped into the hall.
The empty hall was deserted, like an ice cave open.
In the middle of the hall, the Supreme Emperor Bai Yaoquan sat quietly on a chair, staring at a painting in front of him in trance.
The picture in the painting is very strange, it is two men fighting with a tiger.
Both of them were covered with wounds. One held an ax and the other held a sword. They supported each other and fought against the evil tiger that wanted to eat them.
It seems that they are a pair of excellent friends and partners, and neither one wants to leave the other behind, which is awe-inspiring.
But if you look closely, you will find that the man holding the ax has the ax blade pointed at his companion's leg.
The man holding the sword held a dagger in his other hand.
Prepare to secretly stab your companion in the back with support.
As long as one person cannot escape, the other person has a greater chance of surviving.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Bai Ruyue knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.
"Get up."
Bai Yaoquan waved his hand gently, but his eyes remained fixed on the portrait.
"Thank you, Father."
The woman thanked her, with a hint of apology on her pretty and noble face, and said in a low voice, "My son, I accidentally disturbed my father's rest. I hope my father will forgive me."
The corners of Bai Yaoquan's lips twitched, "You girl are becoming more and more alienated from me now, and you are starting to talk politely."
Bai Ruyue lowered her head and remained silent.
It was very quiet in the hall, except for the sound of a woman's heartbeat.
Women actually dislike coming to this place. They always feel that the place where their father cultivates is too depressing and seems to be separated from the outside world.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Bai Yaoquan asked.
"My son, I want to report to my father about the Phoenix Mountain in Yuncheng."
Bai Ruyue said, "Originally, I should have reported earlier, but my father is ill and has been delayed until now."
The woman actually came here just for Li Nanke.
But directly interceding for the other party was too obvious, which would make the father suspicious, so he could only find an excuse first.
"Haven't you already reported to me what happened in Phoenix Mountain in Yuncheng? Could it be that you deliberately concealed it and refused to report it?"
Bai Yaoquan spoke lightly, but what he said made the woman break into a cold sweat.
The contents of that report document were written by her herself.
If there was any intentional omission, it meant that she had no intention of telling her father the truth in the first place.
This is the crime of deceiving the king, even if she is a princess.
Bai Ruyue tried her best to suppress the nervousness in her heart and replied calmly: "I have nothing to hide, but I thought that my father would ask me in detail about what happened in Phoenix Mountain, but I didn't wait until I was worried that my father would forget."
Listening to the woman's explanation, Bai Yaoquan finally shifted his gaze to his daughter.
His eyes were calm, not as sharp and majestic as usual.
There was even a hint of vague emotion.
It was like accidentally discovering that my daughter had grown up, became a tall girl, and had become a bit strange.
But Bai Ruyue had a gleam on her back, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing out from her white forehead.
Facing such a father, the pressure is too great.
After a while, Bai Yaoquan said quietly: "Speaking of which, the dragon guard has not returned yet. It has been too long."
The man's words stunned the woman.
She frowned and said in surprise: "The dragon guard hasn't come back yet?"
As the right-hand man of the Supreme Emperor, she thought that the Dragon Guard had secretly returned to the capital, but he hadn't appeared yet. Could it be that something happened to the Dragon Guard?
"Yuncheng is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."
Bai Yaoquan sighed inexplicably.
He raised his hand to signal Eunuch Yan to put away the painting and ask him to avoid it. Then he turned to Bai Ruyue and asked, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Bai Ruyue drooped her eyelids and said softly: "I heard that... Eunuch Yang went to take over Yuncheng Hongyu, but it didn't go very well. There were thieves who were obstructing it."
The woman deliberately emphasized the word "thief".
On the one hand, he tried his best to put aside suspicion, and on the other hand, he was full of complaints about Li Nanke's stupid behavior.
It was so bad that she had to bravely come to plead for mercy.
"Your news came quite quickly. Weiyang probably knew about it earlier than I did."
Bai Yaoquan narrowed his eyes and smiled on his face.
This seemingly mocking statement frightened Bai Ruyue to the point where she knelt on the ground again, "Father, please forgive me. I and the Queen only found out this morning, so I had the temerity to come and ask my father."
"Okay, there's no need to talk to me about these useless nonsense."
Looking at his frightened daughter, Bai Yaoquan sighed, "Do you think I am very angry and plan to skin and cramp that man named Li Nanke?"
The eldest princess was silent and did not speak.
Bai Yaoquan said: "This Li Nanke can be considered a talent. Last time, the Dragon Guard sent me a secret letter and introduced him, although there was nothing nice to say. But I was in seclusion at the time, and when I came out, I forgot about it.
I know that he entered Phoenix Mountain with you, and I can also guess that you came here this time... to plead for him.
It is estimated that Queen Weiyang wants to reuse this person.
But I don’t understand one thing. What does Li Nanke want to do? "
After hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor, Bai Ruyue subconsciously wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.
What does Li Nanke want to do?
In the past, the other party was just messing around, and later he planned to resign and live in seclusion, but what about now?
What is his purpose for doing this?
Bai Ruyue looked a little stunned. Thinking of her good sister Lin Weiyang's analysis and her understanding of the man's character, she suddenly summoned the courage to look up at her usually fearful father and said in a deep voice:
"He wants to know the truth! He wants to change the Night Patrol! He wants to get an answer for those who sacrificed their lives! He wants to... see you!"
The woman finished speaking in one breath, her back already soaked with sweat.
She felt uneasy in her heart, but she still looked directly at Bai Yaoquan, trying not to flinch.
The so-called begging for mercy means fighting for it.
Fight for a chance for Li Nanke to meet his father.
"See me?"
Bai Yaoquan pondered for a while, then stood up and walked to the mural with embossed landscapes, putting his hands behind his back.
With a thin body, he looked particularly thin and lonely in front of the huge mural.
After a long time, the man gave a reply.
"See you then."
He turned to Bai Ruyue and said, "Bring Li Nanke to Beijing with my instructions."
