Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 240
After all, the emperor is the emperor. What he wants is the opposition of the whole world, and he has to find a way to get it. What's more, it's just a woman, so why would he have any scruples? After a few days, this decree has been made.

This decree after the seal shocked everyone.

Including Baili Zonglu and Baili Jingqi, not to mention the others, the reaction of these two people is against Da.

Baili Zonglu immediately looked up to the sky and burst out laughing. At that time, his entourage and close bodyguards could feel the anger emanating from Baili Zonglu's body. This anger made them tremble a few times, wishing to leave Baili Zonglu is farther away. They have followed Baili Zonglu for so long, and they have never seen Baili Zonglu so angry.

"Huo Mingzhu, I really underestimate you for giving this king unexpected things again and again. However, if this is interesting, it is not in vain for this king to look at you high." Even in great anger Among them, Baili Zonglu could still laugh.

If it weren't for the attendants who are familiar with Baili Zonglu to know that Baili Zonglu is in anger at the moment, just looking at Baili Zonglu's smile, one would really think that something good happened to Baili Zonglu.

"My lord, do you want to give the jade hairpin you prepared yesterday to Master Huo?" He Fang hesitated for a while, and then said, the lord accidentally saw a beautiful one on the roadside stall on the way back to the palace yesterday. He ordered him to buy it and asked him to send the hairpin to the National Teacher's Mansion after finishing his work, but he didn't send it out until today. At this moment, Baili Zonglu is so angry, do you want to send the hairpin? , I have to ask for instructions.

As soon as Baili Zonglu heard it, he knew that He Fang hadn't given away the hairpin yesterday, and as soon as what happened after today's letter came out, the hairpin couldn't be given away casually.

Baili Zonglu laughed and said, "Send it, why not?"

He Fang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything, and put the jade hairpin back into his arms.

Sending this jade hairpin out is not in line with the etiquette, but what can be done, the prince is the master, he is just a guard who obeys orders.

Another shocked Baili Jingqi, when he heard the news, was drawing a Danqing ink painting. He was very proficient in drawing. If everyone knew that this frail and sick prince had never been to other places except the capital. However, his paintings seem to have been in the intoxicating scenery, and even the painted scenery seems to jump out of the drawing paper.

Cao An was watching from the side with a smile on his face, his face was proud. Although his master was weak and sick, his talent could not be ignored. Those who said that the prince was stupid outside were all without vision.

At such a time, Feng Wei came in and whispered something in front of Cao An's ear, so scared that Cao An's smile immediately disappeared, replaced by shock.

Those eyes were wide open, staring at Feng Wei closely, if he was not afraid that the exclamation would disturb Baili Jingqi, Cao An would have scolded Feng Wei loudly, you can eat food but not talk nonsense.

Baili Jingqi's painting has already been embellished, he has long known that Feng Wei came in, and he also knew Cao An's change after hearing Feng Wei's words, but he didn't ask immediately, but put the Finish painting first.

After finishing his embellishment, he looked at it for a long time, and found that his painting level had improved. Presumably, it was all thanks to A Jin. With A Jin's constant company, he was always in a good mood.

Sickness is easy to commit, and people are much more refreshed.

Thinking of this, Baili Jingqi laughed, then raised his head, and asked Cao An: "Xiao Anzi, what are you doing looking at Guard Feng like that? I just found out today that your eyes are so big."

Cao An was about to cry, Baili Jingqi was in such a good mood, and the news was so shocking, he couldn't say what to say, so he glared at Feng Wei, meaning to let Feng Wei speak.

Feng Wei pretended not to understand, and stood on one side watching his nose, his nose watching his heart.

Cao An wished he could go up and kick Feng Wei, this selfish, covetous and fearful villain.

Baili Jingqi waited for a long time but couldn't wait for Cao An's answer, so he frowned and said, "Xiao Anzi, what are you hiding?"

Cao An shivered for a while, and finally, he was brave enough to say: "Return to His Royal Highness, the emperor has issued a decree to seal the empress."

When Baili Jingqi heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "This is really an accident. Why did the emperor suddenly think of the empress dowager? The civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty always mentioned the empress dowager, but the emperor always put it aside. If we don’t deal with it, today the Queen’s order will be issued suddenly, and I don’t know, who is the candidate for the empress?”

Cao An really wanted to faint, he wanted to get away with it, but unexpectedly, Baili Jingqi actually started to ask, you know, if this happened in the past, Baili Jingqi would have known it with just a faint acknowledgment, today This breaks the casserole and asks the end.

So Cao An glanced at Feng Wei again, Feng Wei still maintained that posture.

Baili Jingqi said again: "I'm asking you, what do you think Feng Wei is doing?"

"Back to the prince, yes, it's Huo... the national teacher." After Cao An finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Baili Jingqi's face.

After a while, Baili Jingqi didn't move at all, so Cao An quietly raised his head and glanced at Baili Jingqi, only to see Baili Jingqi staring at him with wide-open eyes. Kneeling down: "The prince calm down."

"Cao An, who were you talking about just now?" Baili Jingqi's voice seemed a little strange.

It's different from the usual gentleness, and it's not harsh. In short, Cao An felt terrified when he heard it. Therefore, Cao An was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Prince, slave, what slave just said is Huo Guoshi."

Baili Jingqi stood up suddenly, with such a big movement, that he bumped into the table and knocked over the inkstone on the table, and the thick black ink stained the painting. It was all in vain.

Baili Jingqi didn't even look at the painting, but was about to leave in a hurry. Cao An saw it and shouted in a hurry: "Oh, my lord, you haven't put on your cloak, my lord, are you slow?" Point. Oops, Feng Wei, what are you still doing, if something happens to the crown prince, do you want to kill me or not?"

In fact, Feng Wei didn't need Cao An's words at all, and rushed out directly. He regretted it very much, why did he go out for a stroll, if he didn't hang around, wouldn't the news be known so quickly!
After Baili Jingqi ran out, he arrived at Yixinyuan, saw the plaque of Yixinyuan, and then remembered that Huo Mingzhu didn't live here anymore, at the moment, she was in the National Teacher's Mansion.

"Going out of the palace, I'm going to the National Teacher's Mansion alone." Baili Jingqi said.

Cao An hurriedly followed, out of breath, and before he had time to rest, Baili Jingqi started running again.

"Oh, my ancestor, what should I do, Feng Wei, hurry up, find a carriage, don't let the prince run out like this." Cao An scolded the emperor a lot in his heart at this moment.

How could an old man rob his son and daughter-in-law? Only this foolish emperor could do it. Cao An scolded him, but he only dared to scold in his heart.

Huo Mingzhu just happened to come out with the emperor's elixir, and handed it to the eunuch at the side, who was going to escort the elixir into the palace and hand it over to the emperor.

When Huo Mingzhu wrapped the brocade box with the silk scarf in the eunuch's hand, Baili Jingqi went straight up and patted the box on the ground.

"The decree, but you are not surprised at all?" Baili Jingqi thought for a long time when he came, and kept thinking, maybe how flustered Huo Mingzhu should be at this moment, he has to tell her, don't panic, with him here Well, he won't let his father succeed, even if he loses the crown prince, he will still keep her.

As a result, when he arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, Huo Mingzhu looked like nothing happened, and respectfully handed the elixir to the eunuch's hands, as if the elixir was such an important thing, Huo Mingzhu Attitude, don't let Baili Jingqi see that Huo Mingzhu is not flustered at all, and is very happy to accept it.

"See Your Highness the Prince." Huo Mingzhu greeted Baili Jingqi calmly at this moment.

Her non-salty attitude made Baili Jingqi's hand clenched and clenched, and the fist was clenched. Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi's clenched fist, and some doubts flashed in his heart.

It's just that the doubts flashed too fast, and she couldn't grasp the point.

Huo Mingzhu's visit attracted everyone in the house to kneel down and say hello, only the eunuch wanted to pick up the elixir, but Baili Jingqi stepped forward and kicked the eunuch on the body: "Go to Gu Gun!" go out."

The eunuch was kicked, fell to the ground like a dead dog and struggled a few times before getting up. He had never seen an angry prince before getting up tremblingly, kneeling at Baili Jingqi's feet, Shouting words of begging for mercy: "Prince, the servant deserves to die, please calm the prince."

"You are all left alone." Baili Jingqi was furious, and it was so easy to calm down.

Even Huo Mingzhu, looking at Baili Jingqi at this moment, felt a little uneasy in his heart, but the uneasiness was not obvious, so Huo Mingzhu quickly suppressed it.

A room full of servants crawled out, including Cao An.

In the room, only Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi were left facing each other.

Huo Mingzhu first broke the silence and said: "His Royal Highness is too sloppy, too reckless, this elixir is what the emperor needs to take, if it is not in this brocade box, now this elixir will be wasted."

As Huo Mingzhu said, she squatted down and picked up the brocade box.

Baili Jingqi stepped forward, grabbed Huo Mingzhu's wrist, and lifted the hand holding the brocade box, her angry eyes locked tightly on Huo Mingzhu's eyes: "For you , is this brocade box so important?"

"For Mingzhu, this brocade box is a matter of life. If the emperor knows about the prince's actions today, Mingzhu's life will be gone." Huo Mingzhu said calmly, as if she didn't care about Baili Jingqi's anger at all.

Hearing Huo Mingzhu's words, the prince took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said: "A Jin, as smart as you are, I don't know what Gu is talking about."

"If you go back to the prince, Mingzhu knows, but Mingzhu can't help herself." Huo Mingzhu didn't intend to have any conflicts with the prince.

She was also aware of the prince's feelings for her, and with her remaining bit of kindness, she felt that it would be the best thing to calm Baili Jingqi's anger quietly.

"If you really can't help yourself, I will help you." Baili Jingqi was unusually serious and serious.

This kind of Baili Jingqi was something that Huo Mingzhu had never seen enough, the aura emanating from Baili Jingqi's body at that moment made Huo Mingzhu stunned.
