Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 271
Under such an offensive, the soldiers on Baili Zonglu's side finally couldn't resist the pressure, and most of them raised their weapons and surrendered on their knees, while Baili Jingqi shot at Baili Zonglu's chaotic pace. His shoulder blades knocked him off his horse.

Baili Jingqi wins.

Although Baili Jingqi had more soldiers and horses, but he was a fledgling who had defeated Baili Zonglu after many battles, but he returned with great victory, and everyone in Shangjing City came out to watch.

Especially when those young ladies who once fell in love with Baili Zonglu looked after Baili Zonglu who was sitting in a panic in the prison car, they kept sighing, lamenting that a generation of heroes had fallen, but sympathy was all sympathy, except for some kind-hearted People don't throw things at Baili Zonglu, those people who hate war to the core, they spurn Baili Zonglu, they keep throwing rotten vegetables and fruits at him, and even lost their loved ones in this battle He couldn't stop crying, cursing Baili Zonglu's death.

Baili Jingqi returned to the palace, rewarded all the meritorious officials in the palace, and tidied himself up before arriving at the Palace of Compassion. Now, everything he wants is within his grasp. He wants all these joys. Sharing with Huo Mingzhu, but thinking of Huo Mingzhu's past actions, the grievance in my heart can't be eliminated.

In the Palace of Compassion, Huo Mingzhu couldn't hear the movement outside, and of course she didn't know that Baili Zonglu had been taken down. When Baili Jingqi pushed the door and entered, she was lying on the bed with her eyes wide open. Lie on the top of the bed, thinking about the current situation, what to do.

When Baili Jingqi came in, he saw Huo Mingzhu lying on the bed. That provocative gesture aroused his anger. He wondered if she would show him such a provocative gesture when she was the queen. His father saw it.

Huo Mingzhu didn't understand why Baili Jingqi looked at her with anger, but she didn't intend to ask him, now that she was his prisoner, he would naturally tell her what he wanted.

In her last life, she ended up so miserable, but in this life she has gotten better and she has taken revenge, but Baili Zonglu did not die at her hands, which made her quite dissatisfied, but she has no regrets.

Huo Mingzhu planned for the worst, she thought that Baili Jingqi wanted to take her life, and she couldn't help it.

Huo Mingzhu's attitude angered Baili Jingqi even more, he stepped forward, leaned over and grabbed Huo Mingzhu's hand, approached Huo Mingzhu with a handsome face full of danger, and said, "Your Majesty, see me Such a face really hurts my heart."

"Your Majesty, why don't you speak directly if you have something to say?" Huo Mingzhu doesn't want to have any more circles with Baili Jingqi, Baili Jingqi has hidden it so deeply, she is not an opponent after all, why not open up and say it.

Upon hearing this, Baili Jingqi smiled and said, "Of course I have something to say."

Today's Baili Jingqi is still the silly look she is familiar with. Today's Baili Jingqi is full of dangers, Huo Mingzhu treats it cautiously, Baili Jingqi said so, but she No one went up to ask what he had to say, but looked at him with open eyes.

The distance between the two is quite short, and Baili Jingqi can see the curly and charming eyelashes on Huo Mingzhu's eyelashes fluttering as the eyes close. He used to know that Huo Mingzhu's eyes are very beautiful, but now they are so close Looking at it from a distance, it is even more beautiful.

He couldn't help stretching out another hand that wasn't holding Huo Mingzhu, gently covering those eyes, feeling the eyelashes in his palm, the anger in his heart was calmed down a little.

However, he didn't recover completely, he said: "As my princess and concubine, you married my father and emperor. For this crime, you can be imprisoned."

"If the emperor insists on pursuing this matter, the Ai family has nothing to say." Huo Mingzhu was so nervous at the moment that her whole body tensed up. Although she was already a queen mother, she was still an innocent girl. In such a short distance, a man and a widow are still in the same room, and Baili Jingqi has such an ambiguous appearance, how can she not be nervous.

"What if I want the Queen Mother to make up for me?" Baili Jingqi said with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu asked Baili Jingqi to cover her eyes, so she couldn't see Baili Jingqi's expression, but she also knew that his appearance at the moment was probably wearing an annoying smirk, so she opened her mouth and replied: " So what does the emperor want Aijia to do?"

"It's better to condescend to be a queen mother, how about being my queen?"

Huo Mingzhu was extremely surprised when she heard the words. She knew that Baili Jingqi had always been very kind to her, but she thought that Baili Jingqi was stupid and didn't understand what love is, so she couldn't let go of it and treated her like this. ,now……

Baili Jingqi is not a fool, just like what he said, do you want to pursue her fault that made her lose face that day?That's why she, the empress dowager who is his mother, is going to be turned into an empress?
Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu sighed: "Prince Duan is salivating at Aijia, he said that he will get the person he likes no matter what."

The new emperor's eyes were cold: "Then chop off his hand!"

"The Ai family is your mother's queen, Your Majesty." Huo Mingzhu shook her head helplessly.

"You were still in the mother's womb when I was born, if you are capable, you can give birth to me!" Baili Jingqi said ruthlessly.

"What does the emperor want?"

She thought that someone else was cooked in a big fire oil pan, but she didn't want someone to cook herself with a frog in warm water. Baili Jingqi replied infatuatedly and without regret: "The queen mother is on the top, and the queen is on the side. I am willing for my husband and son.

After Baili Jingqi said these words, he took his hand away from Huo Mingzhu's eyes, and Huo Mingzhu met Baili Jingqi's affectionate eyes.

It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked, but Huo Mingzhu didn't know how to answer. Now she is still qualified to answer?Baili Jingqi had already grasped it. If she said yes to this situation, it would be wrong. If she said no, she might anger Baili Jingqi even more, so she sighed faintly.

Baili Jingqi didn't say anything more, but got up from her body, not to mention that there were still many things waiting for him, even she wanted to give her a chance to digest what happened in the past few days.

Walking to the door, Baili Jingqi paused again, but didn't look back, and said to Huo Mingzhu who was still on the bed: "The rebel thief has been captured, the Queen Mother can rest assured." After finishing speaking, she left completely Compassion Palace.

Huo Mingzhu was still in shock, shocked by Baili Jingqi's madness, and shocked by Baili Jingqi's serious and naked love, but when all these were added together, she was dumbfounded and felt that her mind was very chaotic.

Several days after Baili Jingqi left, she never went to the Palace of Compassion, nor did she let Huo Mingzhu out. Huo Mingzhu was thinking all day, thinking about many things, and the power in her hands should not be underestimated. For a while, there was no movement, probably because Baili Jingqi was in control.

As expected by Huo Mingzhu, Baili Jingqi not only seized all of Huo Mingzhu's power, but even Jin Wuhuan's old background, Baili Jingqi also let Baili Jingqi blow it up. Li Jingqi was kicked out of Shangjing City, and out of Dayong's situation.

It turned out that Jin Wuhuan was the second prince of Mobei, Yeluci, whose identity was exposed by Baili Jingqi, so he left some belongings in Shangjing and hurried back to Mobei.

Listening to Sulu talking about one thing after another, Huo Mingzhu couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She never thought that that scoundrel-like man would be the second prince of Mobei. He didn't have any royal aura. With Wuhuan's business methods, it is really hard to guard against a prince from Mobei who can lurk in the upper capital and become a businessman with wealth beyond rivals.

Thinking of Yeluci's intention, Huo Mingzhu still broke out in a cold sweat, but with such scheming and endurance, Baili Jingqi was overwhelmed, which shows that Baili Jingqi was even better.

Why did Suli appear here? When Huo Mingzhu saw Sulu, she was taken aback. She thought it was Baili Jingqi who captured her, but it turned out that she was not arrested, but sent away. Baili Jingqi Let Fang Tieyi send Sulu to the palace, accompany Huo Mingzhu every day, and send it back to Fang's mansion after dinner.

Although Huo Mingzhu couldn't understand Baili Jingqi's actions, Huo Mingzhu was a little grateful to Baili Jingqi for Su Hui's entry into the palace to accompany her.

No, Suhui brought a lot of news, such as Baili Zonglu has been locked up, Jin Wuhuan has been driven away, the emperor ordered tax cuts, and one more thing is that Fang Tieyi found Yu Tong's whereabouts, She took Huo Zhengde's son and went back to Qingcheng to live in seclusion. If Huo Mingzhu didn't think there was such a person, Fang Tieyi didn't go out of his way to look for him.

However, Huo Mingzhu is not ready to kill Yu Tong. She is not such a ruthless person. Yu Tong left the slavery, and any opportunities she has in the future are none of Huo Mingzhu's business.

After listening to Huo Mingzhu's words, Sulu said: "Madam, why are you still thinking of Yu Tong when you are like this?"

For Yu Tong, Su Yu really didn't know how to call her, and the concubine was not suitable either, the Huo family was gone, and she was not the maid of the Huo family, so she just called her by name.

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Aijia has indeed lost his freedom now, but Aijia's life is still there. Seeing what the emperor meant, he didn't mean to take Aijia's life immediately. Therefore, why should Aijia be worried?" ?”

Seeing Huo Mingzhu who is so calm, her eyes are red. She always feels that Huo Mingzhu is very hard-working. Although she can't understand why Huo Mingzhu wants to deal with the Huo family and the prince, she knows Huo Mingzhu must have her own reasons.

Moreover, she believes that Huo Mingzhu is kind-hearted, otherwise, why would she care so much for her maidservant, not only treat her well in every way, but also find such a good family for her, but now she herself has fallen into such a situation .

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was imprisoned in the Palace of Compassion and Ning like this, he thought of the Empress Dowager in Renshou Palace, as if seeing Huo Mingzhu's life in the future was also like this, being imprisoned for a lifetime, and then dying in the palace.

Thinking of this, plain tears flowed down.

Huo Mingzhu was taken aback, she didn't understand how she was speaking properly, so she started to cry, she didn't even cry yet: "If you want to cry for mourning, Aijia is not dead yet."

"Empress Dowager, don't say such frustrating words, the emperor may just be angry for a while, and when the anger subsides, he will release Empress Dowager." Su Yu comforted.

Huo Mingzhu laughed when she heard it: "Do you know what the emperor is angry about?"

"The concubine doesn't know." Su Yu lowered her head.

"Then you know that the emperor is angry?" Huo Mingzhu was in a rare good mood, as long as Su Hui showed this silly look, she felt that her life had not completely fallen into despair.

Su Hui foolishly shook her head, Huo Mingzhu finally smiled: "You." After laughing for a while, she said: "Relax, Aijia will be fine."

Su Hui was not really relieved, she looked around earnestly, and when she saw no one, she leaned into Huo Mingzhu's ear and whispered: "Mother Queen Mother, how about I ask Fang Tieyi to take you out secretly? Wake up and don't let the emperor find it?"

Su Ling's words made Huo Mingzhu's eyes wide open. Finally, she finally said: "You can just say this here once, don't say it again, you know?"

"The concubine knows." Su Lv nodded obediently.

Huo Mingzhu nodded, believing her temporarily. It's not that she didn't dare to leave, but once she left, so many people were involved that Huo Mingzhu had no choice but to stop it in advance. Don't talk about doing it, just talk about it. impossible.

Thinking of Baili Jingqi's sharp eyes, Huo Mingzhu sighed inwardly.

. . . . .

At night, Huo Mingzhu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so she got up, grabbed a cloak and put it on, then walked to the window, but saw the guard standing outside the window, she suddenly felt very bored .

In the daytime, Huo Mingzhu is very indifferent in front of Su Yu, but only in this deserted night, Huo Mingzhu will release the boredom in her heart.

The appearance of Baili Jingqi keeps appearing in front of her eyes, disturbing her thinking, but she has nothing to do with him. Now she is just a prisoner.

There was a slight sound from the window, and Huo Mingzhu shouted in a low voice in surprise: "Who!" But it was not too loud, she hoped that the person who came would be someone who could save her.

When the mysterious man in black rushed in from the window, Huo Mingzhu let out a soft breath from the bottom of his heart: "Your Excellency is really brave."

"The empress dowager is not small, she is not afraid of assassins." The man in black went straight to the table and sat down, looked at the teapots on the table, and said to Huo Mingzhu without raising his head.

Seeing the familiar appearance of the man in black, Huo Mingzhu didn't get angry, but said: "Your Excellency is very skilled, you can come and go freely in such a deep palace, I can't help but make Aijia want to see how old you are. What does it look like."

The man in black looked at Huo Mingzhu with a smile and said, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager really has a crush on Zai Xia, and wants to see how he looks like again and again, but has no interest in visiting Zai Xia late at night?"

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Aijia is waiting for you to report your intention."

"Then I won't let you out of the circle. Is that jade pendant on you?" The man in black suddenly said seriously.

Huo Mingzhu's eyes flashed, but she shook her head and said, "It's really not on Aijia."

"Well, anyway, I really don't intend to ask you to return the things that I have already given away, but Emperor Dayong wants it, so I'm kind enough to come here to remind you, put it away carefully, this Emperor Dayong is not very good Good thing, it’s so deeply hidden, it can be seen that this scheming is for the sake of our acquaintance, just come here to remind me." The man in black said, and stood up.

"Your Excellency's late-night visit is just to mention something about mourning the family?" Huo Mingzhu looked at the man in black suspiciously, she always felt that his actions might not be so simple.

The man in black laughed and said, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager thinks I'm here to pick flowers?"

But Huo Mingzhu said: "The Ai family thinks that the delicate flowers in the palace are untouchable." For some reason, Huo Mingzhu just didn't want Baili Jingqi's concubine to be tainted by the gentleman on the beam.

The man in black thought she was talking about her, so he shrugged and said, "Forgive me, no matter how good your lightness skills are, if I want to get the empress dowager, does the empress dowager think you can resist? Well, even if the empress dowager is a master of medicine, But don't you know that there is a reason why a mountain is as high as a mountain?"

Huo Mingzhu knew that the other party had misunderstood, but she was not in the mood to refute, but changed the topic to the other side and said: "Aijia is very interested in your purpose, and you have appeared in front of Aijia time and time again. There are always a lot of reasons. At the beginning, it was already unusual for you to appear in the general's mansion. Guess, you are not a flower picker."

The man in black smiled and said nothing, motioning for Huo Mingzhu to continue.

Huo Mingzhu continued: "If you are a flower picker, it makes sense to feel pity for a beauty like Jian Jian, but what you care about is something else. The starting point is to let Aijia take care of it for you, let Aijia think about it, your status is not suitable for keeping this thing, and your every move will be watched by others? Is what Aijia said right?"

The man in black said: "I have always known that the empress dowager is a eloquent person, and the empress dowager must have been secretly observing what I do, so that I can speak so appreciatively."

Huo Mingzhu laughed, she just glanced at him, of course she couldn't guess who he was, but she knew that this person had a lot of background, if he was willing to help her, she might be able to leave the palace.

Huo Mingzhu said: "This remark is too flattering to Aijia, not to mention that Aijia is really not as smart as your Excellency said, although he was curious about your identity, he never thought of seeing your true face, Aijia is very sorry for his life, Know the truth that curiosity killed the cat."

"Oh?" The man in black raised his eyebrows.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Forget it, since you're here, if Aijia doesn't give you a good welcome, won't your Excellency think that Aijia is very rude."

Hearing this, the man in black looked at Huo Mingzhu warily.

Huo Mingzhu smiled and shouted to the outside: "Come here, there are assassins."

The man in black's eyes sank a bit, and he shouted angrily, "This is the second time you've done this." After finishing speaking, he quickly jumped out of the window.

But just happened to be bumped into by the oncoming guard, who was ordered to guard Huo Mingzhu, and now she was calling to arrest the assassin, they had to put aside their duty of guard and come to rescue her.

The man in black fled quickly, and all the guards went after the man in black, and Huo Mingzhu took the opportunity to run out. She didn't want to leave the palace, and it's not the time to leave the palace yet. Yes, she couldn't run out either. She ran out now to find Baili Zonglu, and to see the prisoner's appearance, which was a relief.

The man in black caused quite a commotion, especially because he couldn't hide at all, because no matter how he hid, the guards could quickly find him.

This allowed Huo Mingzhu to leave the Palace of Compassion and Ning quite smoothly, and went to the prison.

Now, the palace is full of Baili Jingqi's people, Huo Mingzhu can't be sure whether Baili Jingqi has ordered her to be grounded, so Huo Mingzhu dare not take the risk of letting others see her, so, She was like the man in black, hiding while running.

I don't know if it's a coincidence that the enemy's road is narrow or not. Not long after Huo Mingzhu ran out, he collided with the man in black. When the man in black saw her, his eyes lit up and he rushed up. Before he could react, he caught her.

Huo Mingzhu didn't struggle, but said to the man in black: "If you want to take Ai's family as a hostage, your plan may come to naught. If you don't believe me, try your luck?"

Seeing Huo Mingzhu's calm look, the man in black knew that he might have fallen for Huo Mingzhu's way, so he let her go and tried to exercise in secret, only to find that the internal force seemed to have disappeared, making him Shocked, she looked at Huo Mingzhu and said, "What did you do to me?"

Although the voice was a little angry, it was not so angry that it roared, it just asked in a blunt voice.

Huo Mingzhu said: "The Ai family just felt that your skill is too strong, so they suppressed it for a while, otherwise, how could the Ai family ask you for help."

The man in black's eyes dimmed, and he said to Huo Mingzhu, "Do you want to leave the palace?"

"Can you take Ai's family away?" Of course, Huo Mingzhu didn't want the man in black to take her away, but to take her to the prison, but since the man in black asked, she took the opportunity to ask back.

Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly darkened his face, and said with a firm voice: "Of course I dare not take you out, you are the Queen Mother, if someone finds out that I took you out, then I will be on the run for the rest of my life." Disciple, this business loses too much, even if you are so beautiful, I will not do this business."

"Don't worry, Aijia didn't ask you to take Aijia out." Huo Mingzhu looked at the man in black amusedly, he had lost his inner strength and still looked arrogant.

The man in black heard Huo Mingzhu say that he didn't take her away, and his face looked better, but he covered his face and Huo Mingzhu couldn't see it, so he didn't know the change of his expression before and after, but he could see it from his eyes .

Although Huo Mingzhu was very puzzled, this person would be so angry when she heard that she was leaving the palace, but she didn't think much about it, she didn't know who this person was, and what other things she wanted to do, she had to think about it now , How to let the man in black take him to prison.

The man in black softened his tone and said: "The empress dowager is not going out of the palace, but where is she going to take the empress dowager? Is there any place in this palace where I want to lead the way? I am afraid that the empress dowager is going to be my backer and protect me. Only if you can leave this palace safely."

Speaking of this, the guard's voice sounded nearby, the man in black hugged Huo Mingzhu's body in his arms, covered Huo Mingzhu's mouth with one hand, to prevent Huo Mingzhu from yelling, and led the guard over.

Huo Mingzhu didn't intend to call someone at all, and now she is also in danger, so calling someone to come is like throwing a stone at her own feet, but the man in black doesn't know about Huo Mingzhu's situation, so the hand covering Huo Mingzhu's lips is very tight , Huo Mingzhu felt uncomfortable for a while.

Finally, the surrounding guards ran to the other side to search, the man in black let go of Huo Mingzhu, and Huo Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "I was almost strangled to death by you."

The man in black took a complicated look at Huo Mingzhu and said, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

As soon as Huo Mingzhu heard this, she naturally said directly: "The Ai family wants to go to the prison, and I won't be afraid of making fun of you if I say it. The emperor won't let the Ai family come out."

"I naturally know about this matter," said the man in black.

Huo Mingzhu glanced at the man in black suspiciously, and continued: "Since I know, do you agree or not?"

"You want to see Baili Zonglu that much?" The man in black said in a cold tone. After asking this question, he stared closely at Huo Mingzhu, as if he would leave immediately if she said yes.

Unfortunately, his face was covered by a black scarf, of course Huo Mingzhu couldn't understand his expression, she just wanted to persuade this person well, if not, she would have missed this opportunity, and she might wait until Baili Zonglu asked him to kill him. There is no way to get out of the Compassion Ning Palace.

So she looked serious, looked into the eyes of the man in black with a pair of serious eyes and said: "Aijia knows that you have great supernatural powers, so you should know that what Prince Duan committed is enough to die hundreds of times, but if you don't If you think about the matter between Aijia and Prince Duan, you will know why Aijia wanted to visit him."

Huo Mingzhu didn't say how she wanted to see him, but she also admitted that she really wanted to see Baili Zonglu.

The man in black suddenly became angry, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Forgive me for not being able to help the Empress Dowager, don't you know that this prison in the palace is so easy to get close to?"

"Since you say so, Aijia will not force you." Huo Mingzhu was a little disappointed, thinking that the man in black also wanted to see Baili Zonglu, and saying that was just a reason for wanting to see Baili Zonglu. Could it be that she told the man in black that she was going to see the students to appreciate the tragedy of Baili Zonglu at this moment? I'm afraid no one would believe her words.

You must know that in the past, the relationship between her and Baili Zonglu was very delicate in the eyes of others, at least, it was mostly intimate. Maybe the folks will spread quite exciting stories about the matter between her and Baili Zonglu. statement.
