"I was wrong. Qingwu, go and change your clothes.”Lou Chen didn't have much of a reaction after being scolded by the female official. He responded in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. His tone still showed that he didn't want to stay any longer. He didn't even look at Bai Yao, as if he didn't want her to speak up for him.
"Alright, alright, Yanxi, let's go.”Bai Yao didn't know how Lou Chen had provoked Shen Yanxi, but she really didn't want to see this bullying scene, so she left first.
Shen Yan followed him happily. When she passed by Lou Chen, she gave him a stern look. She didn't know what he meant.
Only Bai Yao and Shen Yanxi were left. After spending time with each other for the past few days, Bai Yao still regarded Shen Yanxi as her sister. Knowing that she would not harm her, she asked curiously,""You have always been unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the men in the harem. Why are you so angry today?”
Shen Yan replied happily,"Your Majesty has not been angry in the past few days. I have overstepped my boundaries today."”
Bai Yao found it funny. Was not being angry a flaw? "In Yanxi's eyes, is the current zhen not as good as before?”
Shen Yanxi shook her head." Of course, the current Emperor is better. It's just that His Majesty is too kind. He knows that it's a tiger, but he doesn't catch it in a cage. Instead, he carved a mountain for it."”
"What do you mean?" According to the outline, Shen Yanxi was only a female official no matter how powerful she was. Why did these words sound a little harsh? Could it be that they had also mutated after he transmigrated?
Shen Yan was happy to directly point out that Lou Chen was Nalan Baiyao's spy, but she didn't seem to know Li Bing's identity.
"It is said that accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger. In your eyes, I am not a tiger, but they are.”Bai Yao didn't want to deal with Nalan Baiyao and Lou Chen, so she changed the topic with a witty remark.
Not far away, a few low bird chirps could be heard. It was a little abrupt in this quiet night.
"Did Your Majesty notice the cherry blossoms on Lord Qingwu's shoulder just now?”Shen Yanxi mentioned it and said," He received the news just now and went to see Princess Muyan! What is His Majesty planning? I really don't know how Lord Qingwu is worthy of Your Majesty's attention. He can't be compared to…" Shen Yanxi swallowed her words and did not continue.
Bai Yao didn't pursue what Shen Yanxi wanted to say, but she had an idea.
She turned her head abruptly and saw Lou Chen's back disappearing into the light of the night pearl. Bai Yao stared in the direction he had left. She was stunned for a while. Shen Yan looked at her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Why was Her Majesty so stubborn? Clearly...
On the way back to Zhaori Palace, Bai Yao suddenly remembered that Shen Yanxi was a female official. No matter how powerful she was, how could she be so clear about Lou Chen and Nalan Baiyao's movements?
Bai Yao opened her mouth to ask, but she held it back because there were still people carrying the sedan chair. She only stared at Shen Yanxi and felt that there must be many things that she did not know. When there was no one else, she had to ask properly.
The journey was quiet. The sky was completely dark, and the night pearl was as beautiful as a sea of stars. Bai Yao sat in the carriage, her thoughts immersed in the beautiful scenery.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Someone called out softly to her ear. Bai Yao opened her eyes, only to find that she had already arrived at the sleeping chamber. She was sitting on the imperial carriage and had actually fallen asleep.
It was strange. It seemed that he had been particularly sleepy recently. He had clearly lived a life of waking up early and going to bed early. He slept very soundly every day and was in high spirits. How could he fall asleep again?
Bai Yao was puzzled, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She allowed Shen Yanxi to help her in. In the bedroom, Li Bing had already prepared hot soup and was waiting for Bai Yao to take a bath.
Bai Yao didn't waste any time because she was preoccupied with her own matters. She quickly finished her shower and curled up on the bed.
He wanted to dismiss Li Bing and ask Shen Yanxi to come to the bed to ask, but he was afraid that his actions would make her suspicious and leak the news. After all, she had always been the one who waited on him to sleep, so he decided to bring her to a quiet place to ask after the court session tomorrow.
She had just laid on the bed for a short while, and she already felt sleepy. It was really strange. She had always been difficult to fall asleep, easy to wake up, and had many dreams. She often made herself extremely irritable. After transmigrating, she had solved all these problems that could not be cured.
This thought didn't linger in Bai Yao's mind for long before she felt extremely tired and didn't want to think about anything else. She only vaguely felt that there was someone standing beside her.
Li Bing stepped forward and adjusted the blanket for Bai Yao. When she lowered her head, she could see Bai Yao's breathing as she fell asleep. There was a look of hesitation on her face.
Li Bing had also been by Nalan Baiqiong's side for four years. She was one in a hundred to come to Nalan Baiqiong's side. In the beginning, she was just a small female official waiting outside the palace to pass on messages. Step by step, she had reached today. Other than the Emperor and Shen Yanxi, she was the one who had the final say in this Asahi Palace.
He had never thought that he would be chosen, nor had he thought that Nalan Baiyao would entrust him with an important task. A few days ago, he had secretly obtained poison from another spy and handed it to Lou Chen. If nothing unexpected happened, Nalan Baiqiong should have died suddenly that night. After the imperial physician examined it, the reason was that she had died suddenly after having fun for a long time.
Nalan Baiyao had already arranged an escape route for Lou Chen. As long as he acted fast enough, even if His Majesty died in his bedroom, he would be able to escape unscathed.
However, the jug of wine spilled.
Li Bing turned around and coincidentally, Shen Yanxi had just come in. They exchanged glances and retreated together, gently closing the door.
The incense could not be cut off. If it was cut off, it would definitely make the imperial physician suspicious of Nalan Baiqiong's physical condition. Recently, because Nalan Baiqiong was unwilling to give birth, Tang Jinchuan frequently called the imperial physician for her.
However, this incense made people sleepy. He did not know when Nalan Baiqiong would realize that something was wrong.
Everything would depend on the princess.
Under Nalan Baiqiong's bed, there was a small secret compartment that Li Bing had spent a lot of effort to make. Inside was a dagger that he had brought in with great difficulty.
Li Bing lowered his eyes and returned to his small room.
The next day, as expected, Li Bing woke her up early. Bai Yao had already lost her temper and only worked for a while. The breakfast in the dining hall was quite desirable.
As usual, Bai Yao was not interested in the matters of the imperial court, but she could still put on a serious listening expression. As long as she did this, the ministers below would be grateful to Bai Yao.
There were even some ministers who no longer followed Tang Xue's lead, and would occasionally bring up Bai Yao to say a few words.
After getting Tang Xue's help a few times, Bai Yao obediently listened to the class in case the " teachers " asked her questions.
Bai Yao studied Chinese as an undergraduate, but she was quite interested in history. She had studied the history books to learn classical Chinese a few times, and she was able to put forward some useful suggestions when the ministers asked questions. The ministers nodded their heads and looked at Bai Yao with more respect.#
