Amidst these questions, Gingguo entered the emperor's palace for the first time in this life.
There is no place that does not show luxury and is full of desolation. Xuan Xian is half-leaning on the dragon bed, and his face, which he had seen before but didn't think anything of, is now aged to the point of aging.
Obviously...it was fine before.
"ginkgo……"
When she was far from Princess Kangle, when she was still the imperial aunt in the palace, the emperor called her this.
It was also this sound that made Bai Guo's already uneasy heart even more panicked.
Xuan Xian didn't notice anything wrong with Bai Guo's expression, and continued without any pause: "I can't hold on any longer."
"Cheng Zhouguo, please watch carefully."
"The country is peaceful and the people are safe, living and working in peace and contentment... and there are women as officials."
These words were different from the previous sobriety, but the tone was the same as before.
At Xuanxian's insistence, Bai Guo landed on the stool in front of the bed, and his eyes fell on Xuanxian, whose eyes were full of red.
"Your Majesty, Ging Guo hasn't grown to that stage yet." Ging Guo endured the astringency in his eyes, "Ging Guo hasn't reached that height yet and hasn't been seen by more women. How can a woman be seen as an official? "
Xuan Xian's red eyes seemed to be thinking in Bai Guo's words.
A woman is an official. They have spent two lifetimes for this step, and now they are about to see the results.
"Chengzhou...can't live without the emperor."
The prince died, and all the princes aspired to ascend to the throne. How could Chengzhou not be in chaos?
"Your Majesty, take a look at the scene of women becoming officials." Bai Guo found it difficult to say anything in Xuan Xian's old and tired state, "Waiting for me too."
"I..." Xuan Xian's eyes fell into nothingness, "I also want to wait... and see, but the prince I trained for Cheng Zhou is gone. What else do you think I can miss?"
The prince died in Chengzhou's hands.
This is the only news about this matter that Baiguo has heard so far.
"Has the assassin been recruited?"
At that time, the imperial guards surrounded Bai Guo, and Bai Guo took the initiative to tell the news. When someone was caught later, the imperial guards also took the person away, so Bai Guo didn't know what happened next.
"Assassination..." Xuan Xian was silent for a long time, and finally closed his eyes completely as if he was tired.
Bai Guo stood up and saluted silently, and when he was about to leave, he heard Xuan Xian ask: "How do you plan to deal with Yan Ren?"
Bai Guo didn't understand why Xuan Xian asked like this at this time, but he still answered truthfully: "If you stand on a high place, you can always be loyal to Cheng Zhou."
There is no possibility of forcing the uterus to happen.
"He was...the first person to lie to you."
Bai Guo was even more confused, "Does this matter have anything to do with him?"
At this time, the emperor mentioned Yan Ren several times, which was really abnormal.
Xuan Xian shook his head and waved his hand again, "Go back, I'm tired."
Bai Guo could see the fatigue on Xuan Xian's face and exited the palace.
Su Qing sent Bai Guo out of the palace and hurried back to see Xuan Xian, who was still the same as before. He glared at the little eunuch who was guarding outside. The little eunuch didn't dare to explain, but the people inside seemed to know what was going on outside. "I don't want to move."
Su Qing heard something and asked the little eunuch to exit and close the door. Then he took a few steps to the bed and said, "The emperor needs to rest more. Only after he has taken good care of his body..."
"Others can't tell that I'm pretending to be sick, can you?" Xuan Xian's voice didn't rise and fall, and Su Qing shut her mouth.
The emperor pretended to be ill and deceived everyone, but in fact he just wanted to deceive Princess Kangle.
But Su Qing knew this in her heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"I... started to lie to her too." The many emotions in Xuan Xian's words made Su Qing dare not reply.
The Nine-Five Master has the ability to control people, but at this time he used the word 'deceive'.
"But I won't lie. What can I do if she knows the truth?" Xuanxian closed his eyes as if to escape.
"...The Emperor has worked hard, Princess Kangle...will understand."
Su Qing said this without knowing what he was saying, but he didn't expect someone who was even more unsure to ask him the question, "Tell me, what will Princess Kangle do to me if she finds out about it in the future?"
Su Qing smiled bitterly, "Slave... I don't know either."
"It doesn't matter anymore, I will make up for it." Xuanxian's eyes looked even more tired.
Su Qing was about to persuade Xuan Xian to rest, but then Xuan Xian asked: "Prince..."
"Already..." Su Qing answered carefully, for fear of irritating Xuan Xian, "... has been buried."
Xuan Xian waved his hand helplessly, and Su Qing did not dare to make a sound and retreated.
The prince was enthroned, and the news spread that the queen fainted, but in fact the queen was under house arrest.
reason……
unknown.
The emperor had not made an early appearance for five days, and the commotion in the court affected Kyoto, and for a moment uneasiness enveloped everyone.
The important ministers entered the palace several times and were rejected by the Holy Lord. They knelt at the door of the palace and shouted about the affairs of Huipingzhou and Ruiyuzhou and that no one was handling the state affairs. However, the people inside never opened and closed the palace door. Never came out.
The affairs of the previous dynasty affected the harem, and the concubines jumped up and down among themselves, and disputes over trivial matters continued.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to take charge of the harem again after the queen's long-term 'fainting', so that the harem finally did not cause any trouble.
But things in the harem are easy to deal with, but the turmoil in the previous dynasty is not easy to calm down.
The important ministers saw no hope in the emperor and turned to the queen mother one after another, hoping that the queen mother could persuade her. At first, the queen mother neither agreed nor refused and said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. However, with the increasing pressure day by day and the different atmosphere, in the On the seventh day, the Queen Mother did not refuse the request of the important minister.
The nun beside the Queen Mother was full of worries after sending the former minister away, "The Emperor is sad now. How can I persuade the Emperor?"
The Queen Mother moved the Buddhist beads in her hand unsteadily, "We can't let things continue to get worse."
The prince was assassinated, and the emperor was depressed and uninterested in state affairs. Huiping and Ruiyu prefectures had just been recovered but were not completely recovered. Yifeng and Xianguo were eyeing him. It would not be a trivial matter if he was targeted by other countries at this time!
The Queen Mother spun the beads four or five times and then suddenly paused, "Let someone invite Princess Kangle into the palace."
After the prince was assassinated, the only outsider the emperor saw was Princess Kangle.
The important ministers have begged her for many days. If she goes now, it will definitely put the court and even Kyoto into panic, so this time all possible conditions must be brought!
Nanny quickly turned around and went out.
The Queen Mother dialed a few more times to calm down her mood, and looked out when she heard 'Princess Kang Le' saluting outside.
It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but the weight loss from the battlefield had already recovered. At this time, the mere appearance of that face attracted the attention of many people, and left many people stunned in place.
Peerless, only two words can describe it.
"Kang Le has met the Queen Mother." Bai Guo saluted, but she was full of nobility, as if she was looking down at this graceful palace.
Her aura is unmatched by those in the harem, nor can she be overpowered by just the word "residence for a long time".
The Queen Mother didn't know what kind of emotion suddenly flashed through her. She was looking at Ginkgo carefully, but she could no longer see the figure of the original person.
no the same.
They were different from the beginning.
Kang Le... got something that many ordinary people couldn't get even if they begged and cried.
She also got... many things she had dreamed of for many years but had never encountered.
Bai Guo didn't hear the Queen Mother's response, so she stood up and sat next to her. Her words and deeds were calm and contained the rules raised in the palace, but when she raised her eyes and looked up, she had already missed the word "destiny."
The Queen Mother clearly felt that she had grown up again.
But when she thought about it carefully, there was very little news about her in these years.
People in Kyoto are too busy, and Kyoto is too busy. They don't notice this person who is far away from Kyoto. That's why she is calm when she returns again and again, but the scene is turbulent when she takes action.
She is more awake than everyone else. She seems to be far away from Kyoto, which makes her walk slower, but in fact, without the eyes of everyone in Kyoto, and without the obstacles of thousands of hands in Kyoto, she doesn't know how much faster she is.
The seventeen-year-old second-level supervisor, even a man, was discussed and rejected by the courtiers.
But now when I think back to the time when the imperial edict was issued, did anyone come out to speak out? Has anyone ever spoken out about injustice?
"Why is the Queen Mother looking for happiness?" Bai Guo's eyes seemed calm, but there was a lot of fatigue hidden deep in his eyes.
It was also this tiredness that made the Queen Mother feel that she had not found the wrong person.
"The Emperor has not been in government for many days." The Queen Mother did not say anything false, and ignored Bai Guo's disrespect, "You know what will happen if this continues. Today the Ai family is going to meet the Emperor, and you have to go with them. ?”
Bai Guo kept looking at the Queen Mother. Hearing this, he suddenly asked: "Does the death of the Prince have anything to do with the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother was the first person to show other intentions towards the Thirteenth Prince, and even revealed her thoughts about the Emperor back then. Now that the Prince was suddenly assassinated, Ging Guo had counted countless people, but when he saw the Queen Mother today, Ging Guo suddenly felt that he had missed out. a lot of.
The Queen Mother sneered at Bai Guo's "enlightenment", "The Ai family has lived for so many years, and they are not so stupid. The Ai family came to you this time to ask for your help in persuading the emperor. No matter what, Cheng Zhou's kingdom will still be there." , we cannot just let the people of Liming in Zhou Dynasty fall into war."
I have to say that the last sentence touches the key point of Ginkgo.
Moreover, Gingguo already knew the answer from the Queen Mother's calmness.
After several days of no verification, the only 'clue' at this time proved the innocence, and Ginkgo didn't seem that intense.
"Kangle will persuade you, but just like the Queen Mother, Kang Le doesn't have much confidence."
As the days pass by, the evidence will disappear day by day. Bai Guo has already known that this matter is not as simple as it seems.
But no matter what, this person will definitely come out in the end. After wasting so much effort, he will never get anything.
But right now the emperor and Cheng Zhou are the most important things.
Bai Guo's response was expected by the Queen Mother. What was also expected was that the palace door that countless ministers wanted to enter opened at this time.
The emperor met with the Queen Mother and Princess Kangle. The news was once again seen by many eyes paying attention to Yangxin Palace, and was then spread by word of mouth.
In less than half a day, Su Qing, who was beside the emperor, informed many ministers waiting outside the door about the news of tomorrow morning's court meeting, and finally persuaded these important ministers to go back.
Bai Guo and the Queen Mother waited until the sun went down before leaving the palace. Behind them were countless palace maids and eunuchs who were hurrying inside to deliver soup, medicine and royal meals.
