Su Qing hesitated to speak but could only continue walking into the palace and opened the curtain of the inner room.
The tangy medicinal smell was even worse than that of Lezhou, and Ginkgo hadn't taken a step for a long time.
"What? Did I scare you?"
Weak, so weak that he could barely hear his voice, Bai Guo almost thought he was deaf.
Bai Guo's legs were as stiff as if they were carrying thousands of iron armors as they stepped forward and looked at Xuan Xian who had his eyes closed but could not hide his extremely poor condition on the bed.
"Have you checked your pulse?" Ging Guo's voice sounded normal at first, but it sounded so funny that people just thought it was funny. On the contrary, Ging Guo was about to check his pulse.
"Okay, I'm tired today." Xuanxian's voice was low, with helplessness, "The imperial doctor and your father have both seen it, and they have already taken the medicine."
Bai Guo stretched out his hand stiffly and could only take it back, but when he looked at Xuan Xian's open eyes, which were cloudy, his mind was even more stiff than his limbs.
"How old are you this year?"
Bai Guo didn't hear it. She didn't know how much she was thinking at this moment, but all she asked was, "Has the Emperor found out who it is?"
Xuanxian did not answer, but asked again: "Do you still remember how you asked me how I came back?"
——'Thousands of secret guards...and let you...come back? '
——'I am poisonous. '
The heavy sound opened the door of time.
Bai Guo couldn't understand, "Don't you already know?"
You already know it, you already know it, why would you fall for it again? !
The emperor knew that the Chengzhou Congress had become a battlefield for Yifeng, so he first protected thousands of people. Knowing that she would fall in love, he strictly prohibited her from getting married, but why did it happen to him...
"My poison can't be cured." Xuan Xian was too weak. Even if he had the intention to tell Bai Guo all these things, he was defeated by his body.
Xuan Xian, who didn't know how uncomfortable he was, could only ask about the purpose of letting Bai Guo enter the palace, "There has been no one in the court for several days, but the news from the front line cannot stop, and the things in Lezhou cannot stop..."
Bai Guo somehow suddenly woke up from the chaos, and the city gate that had been sealed for thousands of years appeared in front of Bai Guo at this moment, "The emperor wants to push me to this position? Why?"
"It's impossible for more than half of the courtiers to curse me that year without realizing it. Your Majesty, you had already made your decision at that time, right?"
Ging Guo's question was simply outrageous.
The last time the prince was strong and well-mannered, he could be a king. In this life, the prince who was cultivated with sharp skills can also be a king. If these two people are not satisfied, there will be King Dingxi, King An, King Jing, and even the fourteenth prince.
The emperor wants to have women as officials in Zhou and other countries, and Xuan Duan Ya and Xuan Yuyan are not impossible.
On the hospital bed, Xuan Xian twitched the corners of his mouth and wanted to smile, but he never smiled. He said after a while: "I don't want you to sit in this position."
Bai Guo looked at Xuan Xian closely, looking at the chaotic eyes of the Ninth Five Emperors rolling down thousands of years, "I... I want my mother to sit in this position."
Loving mother, the Queen Mother.
The one who only took more than ten years to cultivate a monarch, and even made the Zhou Kingdom believe in him for countless years.
"My mother said a lot, but I...can remember very little..."
Regret, crying, nothing majestic, nothing imperial.
Just the memories of a dying man.
"Your Majesty, Bai Guo belongs to the Bai family and is not named Ye."
The surname of the loving mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, is Ye, the surname of Ye Houye, and the surname of Ye Xiaohou.
"The ancestral motto of the Bai family is to save lives and heal the wounded, which is different from that of the Ye family."
Xuan Xian smiled, "I know, I just want to say..."
"The Kingdom of Chengzhou is a home for thousands of people. It doesn't matter whether the person sitting on the throne is a member of the Xuan family. It doesn't matter whether the Kingdom of Zhou is a Kingdom of Zhou. The ancestral motto of the Xuan family has always been to let the people We need food and clothing, you have the ability, you have the hearts of the people gathered around you, and the most important thing is that you have the people in your heart. If you want to realize your ambitions, I will help you just like my mother helped me."
The emperor made a promise.
Bai Guo twisted a handkerchief and applied it to Xuan Xian's eyes, "The prince has been lying in bed for several days. At this time, he got up and went to court but still didn't see the emperor. He was afraid that the courtiers and people would guess."
Bai Guo twisted the veil again, "But at this time, whether it is King Dingxi or King Jing of An, the courtiers will misunderstand, and it will make those who are blind to themselves even more blind. In this case, the emperor might as well let the fifth princess go to court. .”
Xuanxian's eyes were dark and he couldn't see anything, but at this time he was able to wake up and think along with Bai Guo's words, "Yu Yan..."
The room became quiet again, Xuan Xian didn't speak, and Bai Guo didn't speak either.
She made a suggestion, and it was up to the emperor whether he would adopt it or not.
Bai Guo applied Xuan Xian's eyes three times and was about to stop when she heard Xuan Xian say in the silence, "Are you and Pang Yang together?"
Gingguo placed the handkerchief beside the basin, his movements slow but without any pause, but after these words, the room also fell into a quieter silence.
"How do you want to deceive me?"
Bai Guo lowered his head and chuckled, "I'm thinking...how to keep a supervisor and a chief governor after admitting it."
Power adds to power, and power is overwhelming.
The courtiers are not dead, they have always been good at keeping each other in check.
"I don't know either."
Xuan Xian's words were originally in agreement with Bai Guo, but before he could finish his words, Bai Guo asked him: "Did Prince Gong and Prince Li look for the emperor on the day he was poisoned?"
Xuanxian said: "Yes."
Bai Guo asked again: "Did Prince Gong and Prince Li look for the Emperor before he was poisoned?"
Xuan Xian did not answer so quickly this time. Bai Guo said: "My people have no way to investigate, so I can only ask the emperor."
Xuanxian waited for a while before saying, "You really haven't changed at all."
But Xuan Xian didn't say exactly what it was. He just answered Bai Guo and said, "I've looked for it."
"That poison..."
"Not them."
Xuan Xian was extremely certain, and it was difficult not to confirm it when he added the previous Bai Guo, "The Emperor has always been poisonous?!"
Xuanxian's silence confirmed this sentence.
"But...why...before..."
No, there was no warning before.
Qu Ru said back then that the emperor suddenly fainted...
"Can……"
Ging Guo couldn't figure out when he was poisoned?
"I know who this person is, so you don't have to think about it."
Compared with Bai Guo's disbelief, Xuan Xian's voice was calmer than before.
"My father..."
"Know."
"Then why..." Bai Guo looked at Xuan Xian blankly, "Will it suddenly happen this time?"
How could there be no prescription for suppressing the poison after years of poisoning? That night...
Xuanxian seemed very tired, "You don't need to check this matter more, it's me..."
Because Xuan Xian still didn't say anything, Bai Guo guessed countless items and food without confirming them.
"When the legitimate son of the middle palace was assassinated in the street, many people knew that it was not Prince Gong who did it, but in the end everyone agreed that it was Prince Gong who had done it. It was Brother Pang Yang who asked the emperor to make this decision. ?"
Xuanxian closed his eyes, "Yes."
Bai Guo smiled, "Now not only does the emperor know all the truth about this matter, but Prince Gong also knows it, right?"
"I didn't know it before, but... I don't know how he found out."
"So he is still involved in this matter, right?"
Prince Gong was silent for a long time, so long that everyone almost forgot his existence, but he mastered the biggest secret without everyone realizing it.
He knew that the emperor had been poisoned, and he even knew that the emperor would fall again that night. He also knew how to reduce the impact of this incident in the future.
His only involvement was to go to see the emperor before Pang Yang that day, and use everything he knew to threaten the emperor in exchange for Jin Linzhou. It didn't matter whether the emperor agreed or not, as long as the emperor listened.
When he knew that the things he had always wanted to hide had been known in such detail, his goal was achieved, and a plan with great impact was born.
——The prince announced that he was poisoned, and the emperor was worried and bedridden, but the important ministers knew the truth. Who was going to calm all this?
The emperor had to make a completely opposite decision to what he wanted to say.
——Bao Gong Wang, give up Pangyang.
"I don't know why..." Bai Guo couldn't describe it, and suddenly smiled, "No one is perfect in this world, and what the emperor wants to hide may be more important than the fact that he has not harmed a single meritorious person for decades."
Bai Guo stood up, saluted and said, "Bing Guo excuses himself."
"If you want to see him..."
"When Brother Pang Yang knelt in the palace for several days, I believe that the emperor never found a trace of it. After coming back, Brother Pang Yang took a medicinal bath for several days, but as I thought, there was no fear for his life."
Bai Guo's words were gentle, "Today I still believe in the Emperor."
Xuanxian's laughter only started when Bai Guo stepped out of the inner room. The laughter was deafening, containing infinite sorrow and countless words.
It’s so ridiculous that I don’t know how to express myself in the face of an empty room with thousands of words.
"Your Majesty." Su Qing approached Xuan Xian in small steps and looked at the motionless person on the couch.
"I want to meet Jie'er."
Si Jiaojie became the queen of Zhou and is now under house arrest in the palace.
"Yes." Su Qing left quietly.
The snow on the palace road has been cleared, and the coldness of winter makes people feel at a loss.
Ging Guo left countless footprints on the green bricks. Under the left and right walls, an unknown number of palace maids and eunuchs saluted and raised their eyes to see Ging Guo off after he passed by.
Outside the palace gate, Li Cheng sat on the side of a carriage with the sign "Supervisor Bai" hanging on it and waited. When he saw someone coming out, he asked his servant to put down his pedals, but Ging Guo didn't step on them.
Li Cheng glanced at Bai Guo's expression inadvertently and then took a step forward. Sure enough, he heard Bai Guo's voice so low that no one could hear him, "General Cui Zhou, General Li Ye and others are ready and send someone to verbally convey the message to Niu Zhuang." , transfer 30,000 people from Ruiyu Prefecture to Lezhou to stand by, 150,000 people to the front line, and 10,000 people to Jinlin Prefecture."
Li Cheng looked around and nodded, but did not respond.
The movement of getting on the carriage was sharp and murderous. Li Cheng looked back at the palace gate and said, "Let's go."
It was already past midnight when Gingguo returned to Ni's house, but the lights in Ni's house were brightly lit.
General Ni looked at Bai Guo, whose aura was obviously different from when he entered the palace. His expression remained unchanged, and he asked in a calm voice: "You're back?"
