There was a strange tranquility in the room. Even Bai Yuanqing was stunned and speechless when he came in and saw the scene inside.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Until Shen Jue's cold voice sounded in the room: "Changsong, step back."
Everyone looked at Changsong, who was dressed in black and had air-conditioning all over his body.
When Changsong heard Shen Jue's words, the sharpness in his eyes dimmed, he put his sword back into its scabbard, lowered his eyes and retreated.
As soon as Changsong retreated from the curtain, Bai Yuanqing quickly walked up to Bai Yu'an. He looked at Bai Yu'an who had been helped up by A Tao, and saw the blood on her pants. He was shocked and said: "Yu'an, come out." What happened?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head, and saw Shen Jue turning to leave, so he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Shen Shoufu."
Bai Yu'an's voice came out, and Bai Yuanqing looked at the tall and slender Shen Jue opposite, with sharp features and elegant features under the lamp.
He was dressed in heavy black clothes, with a jade crown and gold hairpin in his hair, and a long cloak that reached the ground. His eyes were slightly lowered inadvertently, and he was looking down from above, overlooking the noble people below.
Only the now powerful Shen Shoufu could have such magnanimity.
Just why would such a person appear here in the middle of the night?
Bai Yuanqing carefully looked at Shen Jue's fingers covering his neck. The blood dripping from the fingertips made his heart skip a beat. He quickly bowed to Shen Jue and said, "The grassroots are Bai Yuanqing, who was elected in the eighth year of Chengyuan. This time I went to Beijing in Spring, and I met Shen Shoufu here."
Shen Jue glanced at Bai Yuanqing and thought that this must be Bai Yuan's cousin. He looked much older than Bai Yuan.
He gave a perfunctory hum, then looked at Bai Yu'an with a sneer: "What do you want to say again, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Yu'an walked a few steps in front of Shen Jue with a pale face, and then whispered to Bai Yuanqing beside him: "Cousin and A Tao, please go out first. Shen Shoufu and I still have a few words to say alone."
Bai Yuanqing glanced at Bai Yu'an in surprise, and opened his mouth to ask for a reason, but he knew that it was not a good time for him to ask now, so he nodded and asked A Tao to go out with him.
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an worriedly, hesitating and unwilling to leave.
Bai Yuanqing gave Ah Tao a hand, and Ah Tao was pulled out.
After everyone in the room had left, Bai Yu'an lowered his head and walked to Shen Jue. He suddenly bowed and bowed: "What happened today is that the official was reckless. The official should first apologize to Shen Shoufu."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an let go and raised his head again, his eyes reflecting the candlelight met Shen Jue's eyes: "If Shen mainly wants to take revenge on Xiaguan, please ask Chief Shen to only come to Xiaguan alone and don't involve the people around him. "
Shen Jue sneered, Bai Yu'an was actually afraid of his revenge.
He thought he was not afraid of anything, and would dare to kill even the chief minister.
Shen Jue still didn't speak. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Bai Yu'an's bare feet. He didn't look carefully at them just now, but now they were too small.
Shen Jue felt that it was no bigger than the size of his hand.
Is this really a man's foot?
He looked at the bloody knee again, and finally when he looked back at Bai Yu'an's face, he felt a little colder.
The two stood for a long time, Shen Jue lowered his hand, and the wound on his neck was exposed, with a bloody streak, which was a bit shocking at a glance.
Shen Jue grabbed Bai Yu'an's collar and brought it to her arms, then bent slightly and brought her neck to Bai Yu'an. She said in a deep voice: "Master Bai, take a good look at the wound you made. If you want to come, please come." Apologizing is more than just words.”
Another sneer: "Master Bai must show some sincerity."
Bai Yu'an was forced to look at Shen Jue's wound. The skin there was cut open, the flesh was slightly turned out, and there was blood, which made Bai Yu'an tremble again.
I just feel like there's a lump in my throat and I can't speak.
It took several seconds for her to hear her own voice: "What should Chief Minister Shen do if he wants to resign?"
Shen Jue's hands went down and hugged Bai Yu'an's waist. With a little force, the person was firmly attached to her body.
Shen Jue leaned close to Bai Yuan's ear, close to Bai Yuan's earlobe, breathed out hot breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "How to do it?"
"I thought Master Bai knew about it."
Bai Yu'an's body stiffened, and he raised his head to face Shen Jue. He gritted his teeth and tightened his fingers: "Even if Shen Shoufu kills Xiaguan, he won't do it."
Shen Jue raised her lips and sneered, pinched Bai Yu'an's waist and raised her eyebrows, looking at the slightly trembling eyes under the lamp: "What about that?"
"Master Bai, why don't you explain clearly what kind of thing it is?"
Bai Yu'an's body trembled slightly with anger, and he suddenly felt a sense of shame. He felt like a plaything in Shen Jue's hands.
He was obviously the one who provoked her first.
She pursed her lips and her cheeks turned pale, as if she would be plunged into the abyss if she said another word.
With Shen Jue pressing forward step by step, and Gu Yiyi's hatred and revenge behind her, Bai Yu'an was unable to advance or retreat, and almost lost control of her rationality.
She told herself over and over again to stabilize Shen Jue first, and then she would resign and return to her hometown after Gu Yiyi's matter was settled.
Ignore the dispute here anymore.
His teeth were almost broken, and his fingertips sank deep into his palms. Bai Yu'an tried to calm down and said: "Then how can Chief Minister Shen want to apologize to his subordinates?"
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an with cold eyes and said in a cold and deep voice: "Since Mr. Bai is sincere in apologizing, he will go to Wenyuan Pavilion to find me after his shift tomorrow."
The black eyes were Lingran: "I will be waiting for Master Bai when the time comes."
After saying that, Shen Jue let go of Bai Yu'an, turned around and strode out.
Bai Yuanqing, who was standing in the small hall outside, saw Shen Jue coming out, and walked out with a calm expression without saying a word.
Bai Yuanqing followed and wanted to send it off, but was stopped by Changsong holding a long sword.
Bai Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat and dared not follow him.
At this time, A Tao rushed into the room and saw Bai Yuanzheng with one hand on the armrest of the chair. The clothes on his body were messy and stained with blood.
Bai Yu'an glanced at A Tao who came in, slumped down onto the chair, leaned against the back of the chair, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes tiredly.
One hand was placed on the leg, and the other hand was resting softly on the armrest. The thin fingers were hanging weakly, and the fingertips were slightly reflected orange by the charcoal fire burning on the ground.
The long hair fell on her shoulders, covering most of her pale face, which looked like lifeless jade porcelain.
Seeing this, A Tao quickly went to get the robe and put it on Bai Yu'an.
She knelt down beside Bai Yu'an worriedly and asked softly: "Master, what happened just now?"
At this time, Bai Yuanqing also walked in. Looking at Bai Yuan who was lying on the chair and looking limp, he couldn't help but walked over and sat on the high stool opposite Bai Yuan. He frowned and asked, "Yu'an, what happened?" ?”
"Where did Shen Shoufu get injured just now?"
After Bai Yuanqing finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
Bai Yuanqing saw that Bai Yu'an didn't seem to want to speak, and then looked at Bai Yu'an's bloody pants. He paused and his expression changed again: "Is it possible that you had a conflict with Shen Shoufu just now?"
