Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 521

By the time Bai Jingzhen successfully sneaked back to Fuli Imperial City, Emperor Wenyu Yuan Sui was so sick that he could barely get up.

His illness seemed to be very sudden, one day he was able to go to court and govern normally, but the next day he was suddenly so sick that he couldn't leave his bed.

A group of old ministers from the former court joined the son-in-law Xuan Ninghou, and they managed to stabilize the court after a lot of effort, and did not let the news of Yuan Sui's serious illness leak out wantonly.

It's just that Emperor Wen Yu couldn't afford to be sick, and he didn't show up in the court for half a month. After all, it made the people in the court suspicious. Everyone stumbled and found all kinds of excuses to prevaricate until today, and they saw that they were about to reach their limit.

If His Majesty doesn't show up again, or if he doesn't choose a person who can provoke the leader, the hearts of the people in the previous court will be completely shattered.

The young man frowned, silently recalling all the news he had inquired along the way.

——This is an excellent opportunity for him.

Right now, the hearts of the court are fluctuating, if he can take this opportunity to secure some real power, and then secretly win over some useful people, he will probably save a lot of trouble when he reverses the case for General Zhaowu's mansion and brings down Lu Jinghong in the future .

I just don't know whether he can successfully gain His Majesty's trust this time, and how much power His Majesty is willing to give him.

Bai Jing absent-mindedly kicked the stone under his feet, and at the same time took out the token that could represent his identity in his arms.

The old eunuch guarding the door saw the pattern on the card, and immediately changed his face.

He bowed slightly to the young man, then turned and ran into the hall with small steps: "Master Bai is back, please wait here for a while, this servant will go in and pass the news on for you."

"Thank you." Bai Jingzhen nodded and lowered his eyes, and took the copper token.

Presumably, in the eyes of these people, he had already died together with the three dead men in the suburbs of Yuchuan forest. Therefore, everyone from the guards of the imperial city to the eunuchs guarding the gate, when they saw him, they all looked like "hell!" .

It was fun to watch.

The young man casually pointed his fingers, and the fingertips landed on the hem of the clothes on the side of his legs, playing out of tune. The old eunuch who ran to pass on the movement was extremely fast, and within half a cup of tea, he had reappeared in the young man's room. before.

"Your Majesty Bai, Your Majesty asked you to go in and talk. Please come with the servant." The old eunuch saluted very respectfully, then turned around and made a "please" gesture. He changed his mind and said hello.

Yuan Sui's bedroom was already empty, but today's emperor's bedroom is far more gloomy and cold than usual.

As the young man walked through the corridor, he smelled the lingering smell of soup in the air, and a silent sigh rolled out of his throat.

Your Majesty has probably reached the limit this time.

"Young Master Bai, Your Majesty is in the room. It is inconvenient for the servants to enter, so I can only send you here." The old eunuch stopped and knocked lightly on the door.

The palace lady opened the door and welcomed the young man into the room. The room was filled with incense and medicine, and immediately hit his throat and nose.

The smell of medicine in this place is stronger than outside.

Bai Jingzhen frowned slightly, and then he knocked on the side of the bed with one knee. He lowered his head and lowered his voice as much as possible: "Your Majesty, my servant."

"Yu Chuan's ambush failed, and the servant returned late for some reason. I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

After the young man spoke, the people in the couch didn't respond to him for a long time, Bai Jingzhen carefully raised his eyelids slightly, and just caught a glimpse of the two soft curtains that fell in front of Babu's bed from the corner of his eye.

Although it is daytime now, countless lamps have already been lit in the house. The yellowed candlelight pierces through the gauze curtain, vaguely reflecting the shadow of the king on the couch.

He looked at the figure of the emperor, who had not seen him for only a month, and was already showing his old age, his eyes were dark but not turbulent.

——He always hated him from the bottom of his heart.

That Lu Jinghong who framed General Zhaowu's mansion for no reason is certainly hateful, but the one who really pushed the whole Bai family to the guillotine was the Emperor Fuli in front of him.

He clearly knew the innocence of General Zhaowu's mansion, but for his supreme monarchy, for maintaining the so-called stability of the court, and for all the endless suspicion in his heart——

He still cruelly ruined the lives of members of the Bai clan.

He couldn't help hating.

Bai Jingzhen closed his eyes, and after he calmed down, he repeated his previous words carefully. This time, there was finally a response from the couch, and the emperor's voice was erratic and hoarse: "... are you back?"

"Be flat, give me a seat." Yuan Sui raised his arm with difficulty through the curtain.

Two palace servants came following the sound, one took a round black lacquer carved stool for Bai Jingzhen to sit on, the other lifted the soft curtain, and carefully supported the seriously ill emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The young man lowered his eyebrows and thanked softly. When he got up, he deliberately staggered slightly with his still-healed right leg.

Yuan Sui really saw his stagger, he leaned against the bed wall, his yellow and cloudy eyes flickered again and again: "Jing Zhen, why is your leg still limping?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the slave's leg was accidentally broken when he was escaping from Yu Chuan." Bai Jingzhen said with a self-deprecating expression, "I thought the ambush that day was a sure thing."

"Unexpectedly, Qianping's other side actually found out our intentions in advance, and ordered the young master of Mu's family and dozens of elite soldiers to pretend to be envoys of Hanze and lead the battle first."

"The Xishang and Sangruo people are not very useful, and the Qianping Mu Guogong and Mu Xiaogong came one after another, forming a pincer attack..."

"The servant saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly pulled up Twelve and retreated along the wild road in the middle of the mountain. When he went down the mountain, he was exhausted and accidentally rolled down the cliff with him."

"The servant's luck is better. He only broke his right leg, and his life has not been endangered yet." Bai Jingzhen sighed with lowered eyes, without any flaws on his face. "But Twelve is not so lucky."

"He was seriously injured, and this fall made his injury worse. Not long after the servant rolled down the cliff with him, he completely died."

"The slave had no choice but to tear off the embroidered stamp on his clothes that could identify him, touched the token, and finally found a more secluded wild cave and dragged him in, covering it with dead branches and fallen leaves."

"The slave came out of the wild cave, and kept climbing downstream along the mountain stream, but passed out due to blood loss halfway." The young man didn't change his face, "But the slave was lucky, and he ran into a kind hunter by luck."

"He picked up the servant and helped him connect the broken leg."

"The slave has been recuperating in the mountains for more than half a month. A few days ago, he saw that his injured leg had healed by [-]% and he was able to walk on the ground for a long time, so he hurriedly followed the traveling merchant team, detoured to Yuzhu, and sneaked back to Fuli."

"So, you were surrounded and suppressed before the ambush was completed?" Yuan Sui who was leaning on the couch sneered, he was noncommittal to Bai Jingzhen's words, and Gu Zi asked slowly, "What about Fourteen and Seventeen?"

"And the hunter who saved you—what happened to them?"
