Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 285 Painful and Loving
Huo Mingzhu was silent, Baili Jingqi was silent, both were staring at each other, as if they were expecting each other's regress, the scene was extremely dull, people were waiting, and they couldn't even breathe smoothly.

After a while, Baili Jingqi said: "Ajin, don't you dare to speak?" For some reason, Baili Jingqi suddenly had a trace of hope in his heart. Huo Mingzhu is silent now, could it be that he is already in her arms? There is a mark in my heart, so I can't say this disgusting word no matter what.

Huo Mingzhu was clever, broke out in a cold sweat, and asked herself in her heart, what the hell are you doing, to tell Baili Jingqi that she never hated him, and then she really did what he said about being a wife and mother?
Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu seemed to have seen the disgusting gazes of people all over the world, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why do you say whether you hate it or not? You are the Emperor, and Ai's family is the Empress Dowager. Since ancient times, have you ever heard that the Empress Dowager hates you?" The emperor's reason?"

Baili Jingqi suddenly burst out laughing, with a trace of helplessness and desolation in that smile, so he said: "Zuzao."

"En?" Huo Mingzhu didn't know what Baili Jingqi meant for a while.

Baili Jingqi continued to laugh and said, "I will ask the Empress Dowager to escort the food and grass."

Huo Mingzhu suddenly had nothing to say, not to mention Baili Jingqi's smile, even Huo Mingzhu was surprised that he agreed to this matter, not to mention the fact that he imprisoned her in Ci Ning that day Gong, that ruthless appearance made Huo Mingzhu feel that Baili Jingqi was not willing to let it go, but now, with just a few words, she agreed to go out, how could Huo Mingzhu not be surprised.

Baili Jingqi regarded Huo Mingzhu's astonishment as being overwhelmed by overjoy, so he said with a sullen face, "Does the Queen Mother not want to go again?"

"Of course not." Huo Mingzhu was too happy to hold back her smile.

Baili Jingqi turned his face away and stopped looking at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu saw that Baili Jingqi continued to review the memorial, so she took the blessing and left. She had to prepare, because the team that escorted the grain and grass would leave in three days. Cao Qianzhi was originally responsible for the escort, but now there are more It's just Huo Mingzhu.

After Huo Mingzhu left, Baili Jingqi held the memorial and read it, but didn't move for a long time. Cao An glanced at the memorial, wanting to remind the emperor to take it backwards, but finally thought about it, forget it, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's unreasonable for the Empress Dowager to go out."

"Do you think I'm a person who pays attention to etiquette?" Baili Jingqi didn't look up, but his eyes left the memorial and looked at the ground drill in the hall.

Cao An didn't dare to talk about Baili Jingqi. He saw that Baili Jingqi was unwilling to let Huo Mingzhu leave, but he agreed again. He felt uncomfortable and wondered if there was no good excuse, so he said I just thought about it, but Baili Jingqi stuffed him with such a sentence, it's not right for him to answer, or not to answer.

Therefore, Cao An hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Damn the slave, trying to speculate on the emperor's mind."

"Get up." Baili Jingqi didn't blame him, he really didn't think of the sentence he mentioned just now, but even if he didn't think of it, if he wanted to keep Huo Mingzhu, who could stop him.

However, Cao An really felt sorry for Baili Jingqi, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, if you are reluctant to part with the queen mother, why did you let her out?"

Escorting food and grass at any place is not gone forever, but what changes will happen when this man leaves the palace, it is beyond imagination, Cao An can think of this, he doesn't believe the emperor can't think of it.

Of course, Baili Jingqi understood Cao An's loyalty, thinking that he had watched him go this way, knew his thoughts, and was worried about him.

Baili Jingqi sighed faintly and said, "She really wants to go out..."

Cao An suddenly shut up and looked at the sad emperor blankly. In the end, he still felt that the empress dowager was very ignorant.

The empress dowager personally escorted the food and grass, which aroused a lot of discussion in the court. The official said: As the empress dowager, she should live in the harem. How decent is she to show her face like this? The Empress Dowager escorted the grain and grass.

Some warriors said that the empress dowager is like this, and she is the example of Dayong. The empress dowager of a country has worked tirelessly and is not afraid of danger. Escorting food and grass to Erlang in the border towns will help boost morale.

Therefore, the two parties had different opinions, a dispute arose, and a quarrel broke out in the court hall. Baili Jingqi remained silent and allowed the two parties to quarrel endlessly.

Huo Mingzhu saw that the situation was becoming more and more difficult to control, while Baili Jingqi looked like she didn't want to pay attention to it, thinking that this group of ministers would mess up the matter of escorting food and grass this time, she would be at a loss.

So he said: "My dear friends, what you said is very reasonable. The only thing to blame is that Aijia is a daughter and wants to do something for Dayong, but she is bound by etiquette. If Aijia is a man , to be able to sit on a horse, dominate the battlefield, and kill those Tartars who invaded my Dayong one by one, this is what the Ai family wants."

The officials were silent, Huo Mingzhu glanced at everyone and said: "Dayong doesn't need Aijia to do this now. There are many things that Aijia can do for Dayong's good sons, which is to escort food and grass, and ensure that the Aijia can be killed on the battlefield." The enemy's children have something to eat, isn't this the feeling of the wives, children, and mothers at home worrying about their relatives on the battlefield, and the Aijia is doing this for the common people."

From the corner of Huo Mingzhu's eyes, he saw Baili Jingqi tremble all over, but he didn't speak. Now, even if Baili Jingqi wanted to disrupt the situation, it would be useless.

Ignoring why Baili Jingqi was so irritated, Huo Mingzhu continued: "My dear friends, who else has any objections?"

The ceremonial officer wanted to say something more, but seeing that all the ministers looked at Huo Mingzhu with approval and respect, how could he dare to object.

The scene was silent. Zou Danzi was originally against Huo Mingzhu, but now that Huo Mingzhu wanted to kill himself, why did he stop him? Therefore, he was the one who most agreed.

Therefore, he said loudly: "The empress dowager understands the righteousness deeply, and she spares no effort for the safety of the people in the Dayong River and Mountains, even life and death. They are all role models for us. The empress dowager will live forever."

When he shouted, the officials followed the shout, and even came out with the emperor's long live. These shouts were more passionate than the previous pilgrimage.

Baili Jingqi remained silent all the time, and after the voices of the ministers passed, he signaled Cao An to retreat.Except for Cao An and Huo Mingzhu, no one noticed that Baili Jingqi didn't even say a word this morning.

It was night, Huo Mingzhu was wearing unlined clothes, reading a book under the oil lamp, what she read was just some books such as Shan Hai Jing to pass the time.

When she felt a slight movement in the air, she immediately felt someone behind her. The pores of her body opened rapidly, and before she could think about it, her body moved, and she quickly got up, trying to avoid the danger.

But the person who came was even faster, and directly clamped her in his arms. The familiar scent came from Huo Mingzhu, letting Huo Mingzhu know that the person holding her was not Baili Jingqi and who else.

Thinking about it, now that Dayong dared to hug her like this, and it was the one who quietly appeared in her palace in the middle of the night, apart from Baili Jingqi, he did not think of anyone else.

"Your Majesty, let go of Aijia." Huo Mingzhu didn't struggle, but said with a sullen face.

Today in the court hall, Huo Mingzhu's words made Baili Jingqi feel unhappy. She compared this trip to a husband who is tied down by his wife on the battlefield and worried about their food. After hearing this, Baili Jingqi couldn't help thinking about it.

He thought of Lin Yunxi, Yeluci, who had been involved with this woman in the past, even Fang Tieyi, who was also closely related to this woman, how could Baili Jingqi not think too much, this thought made him angry It's hard, I didn't want her to go, and now I don't want to.

"I will issue an order tomorrow to cancel the Queen Mother's decision to escort the food and grass." Baili Jingqi said fiercely.

When Huo Mingzhu heard this, she frowned: "Your Majesty, you are not joking."

"Even if I risk the ridicule of the world, I won't let you go out." Baili Jingqi said viciously.

After hearing this, Huo Mingzhu felt even more uncomfortable: "Your Majesty, you can't stop Aijia."

Seeing her yelling to go out, Baili Jingqi became anxious, turned her body over, and kissed her hard.

Huo Mingzhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Baili Jingqi. She was frightened by his sudden movement, and then she could see that Baili Jingqi was angry. See him biting her lips, as if As if venting, she even tasted the smell of blood, so her brows frowned even tighter.

After a long time, Baili Jingqi felt Huo Mingzhu's stiffness, stopped his movements dully, stared at her viciously and said, "You want to go to the border town so much, is there Jin Wuhuan or Lin Yunxi?"

Huo Mingzhu stared at Baili Jingqi in disbelief, not understanding why he said such inexplicable words, isn't there just those two people in the city over there, both of whom are fighting.

Although intelligent, Huo Mingzhu, who has no plans for men and women, never thought that Baili Jingqi was taking pleasure in it.

Baili Jingqi didn't hear Huo Mingzhu's rebuttal, so he thought it was right, so he directly pressed Huo Mingzhu on the table and tore off her belt, with only one thought in his mind, that is to punish this damned woman well.

"Your Majesty, what are you angry about?" Huo Mingzhu was still awake. She knew that Baili Jingqi was angry, but she didn't know what he was angry about. , Chase again, but she didn't want to, she was about to leave, she didn't know why, she just wanted the two of them to spend the night quietly.

"The Queen Mother can find out that I'm angry, that's great." Baili Jingqi didn't know whether he should be happy or not, Huo Mingzhu was finally able to face up to his emotions, but she thought that she would leave the day after tomorrow, although she would come back at the end of the year, but After all, it was still a long time, more than half a year, and Baili Jingqi couldn't be happy no matter what.

"Then why is the emperor so angry?" Huo Mingzhu asked.

Baili Jingqi remained silent, but continued with the movements in his hands. Huo Mingzhu struggled to no avail, so he had to let him lie on the bed and love him for several times, and finally he was so tired that he nestled in Baili Jingqi's arms and fell asleep.

But Baili Jingqi couldn't sleep, Huo Mingzhu showed signs of softening, he should be happy, but she was so eager to leave his side, and he couldn't be happy, so, he just opened his eyes and watched Her sleeping face reached dawn.
