"My niece has helped Han escape again and again, even at the expense of disobeying your father. What exactly do you want to gain from this?"
"I don't want anything. I just hope that Uncle Han can show what he has learned. Save everyone from chaos, eliminate disasters in the world, so that the strong will not bully the weak, and the masses will not bully the few."
Li Yue and Han Fei reached a deal.
An expelled young master from South Korea, and the eldest daughter of another country's court.
The difference in status makes it appear that there is an indescribable relationship between them.
After repeated preparations, Li Yue mustered up the courage to enter the palace.
Amid the chirping of birds, her maid couldn't be more modestly dressed. She smiled at Rui'er and tried her best to please her: "Still can't we see you? Aunt Rui, since Little Master Tao is awake, we girls will see you." On the other hand, just say a few words to express my feelings for the master."
In her father's name.
Aunt Rui didn't relax at all. Her penetrating eyes were fixed on her, Ting Wei's eldest daughter, with no other focus.
Li Yue calmed down after being looked at by such a pair of eyes that were floating in the palace.
She sat under the stone table under the forest. The hot wind blew up the broken hair around her ears, and she could see beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. She raised her jade fingers and pressed them on the brocade box. Li Yue was neither humble nor overbearing. road:
"Aunt Rui, what is displayed here is a rare ice jade that has never been seen in thousands of years. It is as cold as ice to the touch, but it will not melt all year round. My father finally found it with great difficulty. This kind of treasure should be donated as a gift. Little Master Tao, I would like to congratulate Little Master Tao on his initial recovery from his serious illness."
"But my father's entry into the harem has not changed much, so asking me to come over and hand it over to Little Master Tao in person makes it seem sincere."
Rui'er felt slightly relieved when she heard her biting the word "present".
But then I thought about it.
She is just a noble girl who behaves differently from others.
I heard that she was not favored in Tingwei's house, but Li Tingwei actually asked her to offer treasures to please her. The key to this was quite subtle.
She lowered her eyes and turned the jade bracelet in her hand, then smiled and said:
"Miss Li, it's not that the slaves are refusing to let you go, it's just that our little master has just woken up, but your Majesty is protecting your eyes from the pain. Even if you walk a little longer, you have to ask the slaves to keep an eye on them and not fall. You are also a court lieutenant. The daughter-in-law of the palace, a noble person, is going to the palace to present treasures all the time. I am afraid that the cumbersome etiquette will hurt her body, so why not let Li Tingwei come in person when he goes to court, so that your Majesty can give a message to the slaves."
What a good mistress of the palace!
This short sentence not only highlighted that his master was favored, but also silenced the noble lady's actions.
Li Yue bit her lip before saying anything else, "Aunt Rui——"
Rui'er, a slave, didn't give this noble girl any respect. She got up and stepped on the curled up dead leaves and left, "Miss Li, there are plenty of these treasures in the Lord. Just keep them and use them yourself. The weather is hot." , this slave was rushing to serve his master, so he left first."
Li Yue squeezed the brocade box tightly, leaving teeth marks on her lips.
The maid nearby saw her like this and said worriedly: "Girl——"
She shook her head: "Little Master Tao is not something we can see. Go back to the house and we will find another way."
*
"My young master, Li Yue, the eldest daughter of Lieutenant Li Ting, would like to see you."
After Rui'er dismissed Li Yue, she reported to Baitao immediately after entering the palace.
After gathering the tulle, I could see Baitao holding a water conservancy chart in his left hand and looking at it, while holding an ice drink in his right hand to taste. The corners of his lips were soaked with water and turned color for no reason.
He didn't even raise his head after hearing this, "Li Yue? Li Tingwei's eldest daughter."
"Yes, she also wants to offer ice jade."
Rui'er sneered, "Young master, you don't have anything good. Even the entire ice cellar in Xianyang City is reserved for you. How can you use the ice jade in the corner? I heard that this eldest daughter of Li Yue was born in poverty. His vision is also very short-sighted.”
"Wow--"
Baitao looked over the water conservancy map again.
This was handed to her by Zheng Guo, who was imprisoned in prison, and brought a few pieces of information about Han Fei coming to visit him in prison. Listen to Rui'er's report. She didn't care about it, she was just a mortal with a profitable plan.
He just said, "Is the Great Wizard keeping an eye on you?"
Rui'er hesitated to speak: "There is no big movement. I just hang on the crooked-neck tree at the entrance of the palace and sleep after eating and drinking."
"."
It must also be scary.
Baitao pursed her lips, "Has anyone come in or out of his mansion?"
Rui'er added: "There are many homeless beggars and homeless people from various religions."
She lowered her eyelashes in disappointment, "Oh."
No brother.
My brother will not stay with beggars and homeless people. He has always hated mortals, saying that the smell on their bodies is extremely bad, even worse than the corpses that starve to death on the road.
Seeing that she was wilting, Rui'er was about to speak when the maid who was outside ran in and said, "Go back to me, young master. Li Tingwei wants to see you."
"Why does Li Tingwei ask for an interview?" Rui'er raised an eyebrow, "Why does Li Tingwei ask for an interview?"
The maid said, "I'm afraid the young master has just recovered from a serious illness and has come to say hello."
Rui'er was not surprised at all: "A Tingwei's daughter has just arrived, and now another Tingwei has arrived. I don't know if she poked a Tingwei into his nest, but I can't avoid it."
She raised her eyebrows and said to Baitao, "My young master, Ting Wei's daughter has just finished playing with treasures, and Master Tingwei has also come to play with treasures. Do you want to see her?"
"See, why don't you see me." Baitao drank up the ice drink in the glass cup in one gulp, "It's him playing tricks, not me."
"Pfft."
Rui'er couldn't help laughing.
The young master never suffers any loss, and he is so lovable when he talks. She fiddled with the bead string that was crooked on her little master's body with her hands, and said, "Then please invite Ting Wei to come in and play with your little master."
"You know how to invite her." Walking over, Rui'er nodded at the palace maid with the end of her eyes.
Maid: "Yes."
The Tingwei who was waiting outside was a little uneasy. Logically speaking, at the age of forty, he was already very social in the officialdom and would not feel uneasy about a woman in the harem.
But every time he stood in front of that woman, he was peeled off like a newborn baby.
And panic and confusion.
He didn't dare to look up.
There was a noise in the hall.
There were the crisp sounds of strings of beads being scattered on the floor, the palace ladies scolding and laughing, and even the chirping of birds.
The sun cast a gray shadow on Li Si, and the night wind lifted up his wrinkle-free official robe.
finally.
When Li Si was worried about the arrival of King Qin from the political palace, the door of the palace opened.
"Li Tingwei, you've been waiting for a long time, come in."
The maiden inside came out to greet him.
Li Si nodded, picked up Wu Mu's feet and stepped in.
The interior of the palace is a luxury that no one can describe, and silks that are hard to find are left on the ground. The panic-stricken lights outside shone through the hundreds of windows of Xianyang Palace, reflecting layers of charming luster. It seemed as if there was wealth and wealth of red gold splashing over from the vast sky.
Really, overwhelming rights.
"Li Tingwei——"
There was a sound like the slight touch of pearls and jade.
It's what he's chasing.
Li Si looked up and saw the girl sitting on the roof.
The light outside the window also became higher as he raised his eyes. The girl's slender, boneless wrists were caressing the colorful bird with its breasts proudly puffed out in her arms. When she saw him turning his eyes slightly, the watery eyes seemed to have a vast world inside them, enveloping him in an instant.
She said: "Tell me, Li Si, you, a foreign minister, came to see me in the harem. What is the matter?"
Li Si was lying on his knees on the ground. His high head and official authority in the past were gone at this moment.
"I heard that the young master has recovered from his illness, so I came here to see the young master and say hello to him."
"Li Tingwei is the first person in Great Qin who came to see me to say hello, and he seems to have good intentions."
"I serve the Qin Dynasty and am devoted to the king and my little master. This is what we should do."
"These are polite words, but Wei Ting should say less." Baitao narrowed his eyes and touched the bird, "After all, it's still bright outside, so let's talk openly, not to mention that you know and I know here."
Li Si took a long breath, got up and said with a smile: "Si has no other intention, he just came to say hello to Little Master Tao. Is Little Master Tao okay?"
"It's safe, it's safe, it's safe." Baitao said, "Does Li Tingwei still think I have any uneasiness in this Qin Palace?"
"My little master is fine, I feel relieved."
Baitao also paused for a while and said falsely: "It's hard for Li Tingwei to worry so much when he is busy with official duties."
"These are all things Si should do. Don't worry, little master. Si has taken care of everything these days. Even in a year of famine, there will be no mistakes."
"Is there anything wrong?" Baitao seemed to recall, "Why did I hear the people in the palace say that Li Tingwei openly had a dispute with the great wizard, and he was so angry that the great wizard stopped your chariot halfway? You were also angry. Swearing."
Li Si said in fear, "I don't dare. The great wizard is the king's confidant, and he also saved you, my little master."
"Save me? You didn't dare to save me." Baitao raised her eyes again, taking advantage of the lipstick on her lips, she felt cold and solemn, "Why don't you dare."
Li Si hasn't reacted yet.
"A new sorcerer just relied on a few mouthfuls of the hard work that the Lord fed me, and he was awarded the title of great sorcerer. What about you? You are also a subordinate, allowing others to rely on mysterious things to achieve success. Fighting for your limelight.”
Li Si didn't answer, but the hands under his sleeves slowly tightened.
"Why are you studying so hard in Jixia? Is it because you want the glory of the official position and a warlock riding on your head to dominate you? Maybe he is also a white body that jumped out of the old forest in the mountains."
Baitao rested her chin on her hands, her long eyelashes hanging down, thinking strangely and innocently, "He, who has the same white body as you, is called a great wizard, but he still only bullies you. Why? Just because you are from a foreign country." A helpless civilian in a foreign land."
Boom.
It was like a thunder exploded in Li Si's ears.
"You have worked conscientiously in the court for so many years, walking on thin ice, and it seems that you have unlimited glory, but you dare not make a mistake. Finally, the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion" that you wrote in the face of death won the approval of the king. You have gained the respect of the clan, and you feel that you have finally established a firm foothold. You can use your fists and kicks to reform your world, but a great wizard appears from nowhere and dares to openly contradict you now. You are Who? Are you still the little official Cai who can be bullied by anyone?"
"Li Tingwei, Li Tingwei, how can you swallow this breath?"
Humiliation comes from the bones.
Jealousy arises from the flesh. Li Si listened.
Li Si's relatively strong and upright facial features were twisted together, as if the shackles were falling off, "You dare to look down on me, you are a pariah! A pariah! You are all a bunch of sewer bugs eating the carrion of the pariah! Pariah!"
"The rancid smell of mortals comes from their humility, their humility towards their rights, their humility towards their identity, their humility towards their self-awareness, and then this humility turned into despicability."
Brother's voice echoed in her ears, and the pupil lines in Bai Tao's pupils stood up. She looked at Li Si dancing below, as if there was a bone marrow-sucking devil standing in front of him.
Yes.
Brother is indeed right.
Baitao smiled, as sweet as honey, and the westward twilight made her cheeks shine brightly, just like a goddess in the sky, "If you don't stop, you will be disturbed. Li Si, there is nothing you dare not do, just do it Be bold and do it.”
Li Si crawled under her feet and kowtowed, "Yes, I know. He is not a white body, nor is he a pariah. He is the scepter of the little master. Wherever the little master wants to use it, it is all driven by the little master."
Baitao meandered down the steps and caressed Li Si's white head.
Li Si lowered his head even lower.
Like a weak beast in the mountains obeying the leader.
Baitao's eyes narrowed.
The mountain ghost is a great wizard in the government, and the methods he uses are quite vicious, no different from monsters.
Although she didn't want to hurt him, she wouldn't let him gain a foothold in the court. What's more, a mountain ghost who lived in the mountains had the mysterious power of the mountains and wild forests. Relying on the worship of the world, he should have lived in a corner, but he came here. The temples of the State of Qin were entangled in the waves of power.
What exactly is the intention?
It was already dark outside the palace, and the endless arch of silver stars shrouded the sky. The eaves of the palace became more and more quiet and beautiful.
Li Si showed his loyalty and left, leaving a white peach and a fox sitting cross-legged in this gorgeous palace.
She thought about it and couldn't figure it out, but a touch of loneliness crept into her brows.
She said softly to herself: "Well, I just let Li Si have fun with the mountain ghost. I forgot about Zheng Guo's incident. I don't know if this beaver cried after being imprisoned for such a long time."
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
That careless stupid beaver!
She got off the ground, and Baitao couldn't help but want to step out of the palace to see Zheng Guo.
The sound of footsteps came at the right time. Baitao didn't feel anxious until someone came. He just stood there and waited for a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist to walk out of the pillars. He was dressed in a black robe like a gauze rolled slowly. When he stood up, he seemed a little tired, but the starry eyes that touched Baitao's head were as deep as obsidian.
"Taotao."
He spoke softly with his thin lips.
Zhao Gao, who was bending down and holding a lantern, lowered his head and walked away with only a touch of orange.
So there was only the starry sky and the man in front of her.
The fox in my heart slowly calmed down. Baitao raised his head and said, "You are back from tomorrow."
He came over and held her in his arms, sniffing her hair, "Well, how are you feeling after staying in the palace?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine early." Baitao stroked his chest, "What about you? Is the wound on your chest healed?"
"It has scabbed over a long time ago, leaving a scar."
"Scar, can I see it?"
"No." He put down the hand that touched her head, turned his face away, and said with a fearless voice, "It's just a scar. How can a warrior not have scars?"
Baitao's fingers trembled for a while.
Yes, how could I forget.
He is a warrior.
It was he who saved her with his heart and soul, and he was her warrior with the highest medal.
This was something she wanted to forget and bury, but she was reminded over and over again by the people in front of her.
She owed him.
Bai Taoyue felt that Shangui was unforgivable. She would rather suffer more than to let him get hurt. Mortals are fragile and their lives are always short.
Under the moonlight, her eyelashes trembled slightly: "Well, Brother Zheng is a warrior, the best warrior in the Qin Dynasty."
Ying Zheng also laughed.
He planted a kiss on her forehead, carefully and affectionately, hesitantly followed the tip of her nose to her lips, and sucked again, "People in Xianyang like to use pot helmets to spread sauce, but your little mouth is always smeared with honey. "
"I said you are the best warrior in the Qin Dynasty. You are the best warrior in the Qin Dynasty." Baitao smiled and said, "We haven't competed yet. Why did Brother Zheng admit it first? It's really not embarrassing to be a king."
"uh-huh."
Ying Zheng raised his chin slightly, looking rather arrogant.
But for some reason, Baitao always felt that he was different from before, and he was much silent. If he had been in the past, he felt that he would have said with an unruly tone, "Even if he is not alone, he is still the best warrior in the Qin Dynasty."
But now he is still majestic, untouchable and condescending, but it seems that there is some kind of undercurrent of violence that is about to explode.
Even if he hides it well.
In fact, Baitao still likes him as he used to be. Such a king makes her hopeless.
He held his hand tightly and walked inside. The starry sky cast shadows on him, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. After a while, he suddenly said: "Li Si just came to see you?"
Baitao was still looking at the ground to avoid embarrassment, and responded smoothly: "Yeah, he has been looking for me."
"Li Tingwei's eldest daughter is also looking for you." Ying Zheng said, "Gu Zeng remembers that Taotao has always disliked these Xianyang ladies."
"I don't like them," Baitao said innocently, "But I don't like them. They want to come to Baba to find me. This Li Tingwei's eldest daughter is called Li Yue, and she seems to be here to offer a treasure."
He frowned and said, "There is nothing in the palace. It is the turn of a court lady to present the treasure."
Baitao didn't say anything and was only led forward by him.
Feeling his slightly calloused fingertips gently rubbing her delicate palms, her heart was itching for no reason. Although Baitao knew that this was his habitual action when thinking, it felt a little hot to rub his paws and fox ears like this, and it still made her feel uncomfortable. A little afraid to look at him.
Realizing that she was becoming more and more impatient, Ying Zheng stood still. He straightened his nose and leaned over with his thin lips drawn in the shadow, "What is Taotao thinking about again?"
".Um."
As soon as this unparalleled handsome face came closer, even the air near them began to freeze.
The blood in Baitao's body actually surged with unspeakable joy.
Ying Zheng's slender hand lifted the little fox's lowering head. The little fox's blood instantly rushed to the limbs and bones. Half of his face turned red, and he ran towards the inner hall, "No, you can't touch my hand anymore. You can’t touch it with your hands.”
Ying Zheng in the back was a little strange, "Why can't you touch it?"
Baitao tugged on her collar and covered it up, "It's all my fault for this day and the sun. It's too hot. If it's too hot, you can't stand next to me and touch my hands."
"Stay away from me first, and I'll touch you again later!"
The girl's double-snail bun fell into the hall and disappeared. Ying Zheng's hand was still hanging in the air, and the shadow on the ground showed that his hand contained endless grabbing power.
The figure got further and further away until it disappeared. It was very similar to the nightmares and frightening scenes he had experienced during those days.
But he just put a heavy weight on his back and said solemnly, "Stay away. I will never let you stay away from me in this life."
Just because she is him in this dead palace.
The sun, the only sun.
