The red color of the sunset swept over with the chill of evening, and the ominous atmosphere fermented the unbearable atmosphere in the cold palace. In the Yanfu Palace, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at his hands in confusion, trembling slightly. There was no one else around except an old man standing at the foot of the steps.

Occasionally there is the crackling sound of burning wicks in the dim hall. The silence of the whole hall is so silent that it makes people feel chest tight. Zhao Ji is in a very bad mood at the moment. He has been sitting there since he came back from the city wall. Cai Jing standing below is an hour old. The person who came was also silent knowingly, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

then.....

"I..." Zhao Ji stared closely at the palm of his hand and spoke in a hoarse and dry voice, "Did you do something wrong...I just want him to surrender, Xiao Ningzi He has been with me for many years...many years...I don't want to hurt him."

He raised his eyes slightly, looking down at the old man for help.

Cai Jing took a deep breath, exhaled it, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, anyone in the world can say that they are wrong, but Your Majesty can't. You have no face, and I will bear it on my own. Now that the matter has come to this, Bai Ning resigned again As for the post of admiral, this is the time to close the Dongchang Yamen."

After listening to the other party's words, Zhao Ji frowned and slowly clasped his open palms, "Dongchang has been established for many years and they are also my eyes and ears. How can we withdraw at the drop of a hat? Do I have to rely on the Huangcheng Division's gang?" waste?"

Cai Jing was silent for a moment, showed an anxious look, and bowed: "Your Majesty, this matter is different. Although the Imperial City Department is tired, but generally speaking, normal people are responsible for it. But if the East Factory is still established, How will those eunuchs and Jianghu people promoted by Bai Ning deal with themselves? Those people are highly skilled in martial arts and their eyes are as high as the top. No one but Bai Ning can suppress them..."

"Huh?" The emperor stood up in the Long Court, "Are you saying that our majestic emperor still can't subdue the recklessness of those eunuchs? It's ridiculous. Could it be that because I withdrew Bai Ning, they dared to commit insurrection?"

He waved his hand vigorously, walked a few steps back and forth in the court, with the hem of his robe swaying, and said: "The power of Dongchang was given to me by me, and I put them in that position. I will take back the power in their hands." It’s not a matter of my words.”

A smile of success appeared on Cai Jing's lips, and he bowed upward: "Your Majesty is right, but you must be careful. Since Your Majesty still wants to use the East Factory, you can only replace everyone in it and put in His Majesty's confidants." Go to the supervisor so that the people below can still do their jobs.”

"Well, but now that the Jurchens have not left, they can't do such a thing..." Zhao Ji looked at the jade screen behind the dragon chair with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "After all, it is a last resort."

The palace door suddenly opened. The figure on the Long Court and the old man at the foot of the stairs looked over and saw a gap in the palace door. A figure flashed in, coming over in a hurry, holding the news just sent in his hand. The eunuch A flattering smile appeared on his old face, "Guan family...good news...good news!"

The figure ran to the side of Longting with small steps. Zhao Ji unfolded the paper and squinted his eyes when he saw the news. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the old man who was looking curiously below and trembled in a suppressed voice: " Prime Minister Cai... it is really good news, the Jurchens have withdrawn their troops."

"In this way, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on your great blessings."

Cai Jing congratulated and said: "...Moreover, Your Majesty, another box of elixirs has been sent from Lingyi Mountain. According to their calculations, the elixirs in Your Majesty's hands have almost been consumed. So when the old minister came over, he specially brought the remaining ones with him."

He clapped his hands, and outside the palace door, a young eunuch came in holding a box. Zhao Ji sat back on the dragon chair with a smile and pointed at the other party with his finger, "Xiang Cai, Xiang Cai, actually you already have it over there, why haven't you taken it out for so long?"

Cai Jing said slowly: "I am worried that your majesty will not be in good health if he eats too much at one time. Although the elixir is good, a large amount of tonic can also be harmful to the body... I need to consider your majesty and give it slowly."

"I'm afraid those old Taoist priests told Cai Xiang in advance." Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Cao Zhenchun to go over and put away the elixir. Then Cai Jing started talking, and his mood seemed to improve, "Do you know what Bai Ning is doing?" information?"

"The Bai Mansion has been closely monitored by the Ministry of Punishment, but except for Bai Ning's two relatives, he has not been seen, and I don't know if he is still in the manor."

"...In this case, Prime Minister Cai can use my handwriting to handle the previous matters."

The old eunuch carried the box to the side hall. The words behind him became farther and farther away until he could no longer hear them. His flattering smile gradually faded away. While looking at the box carefully, he looked at a palace maid passing by and nodded. .

Over there, the little palace maid understood and turned around to hide in the passage.

Baifu Beiyuan.

In the open wooden window, a wooden comb gently combed down a strand of silver wire. The woman holding the wooden comb was wearing a bright red dress, with green silk hanging on her shoulders, and her pink lips opened hesitantly. , closed it again, and sipped it.

In front of the wooden table, the man holding it looked indifferently as he looked out the window at the afterglow of the setting sun pouring over the yard, which seemed quiet and profound. There were birds coming to rest on the branches, and there were a few crows.

It's March, the weather is starting to get warmer, and everything is starting to feel warmer.

Bai Ning's eyes flashed with sadness, and he sat there quietly, watching the birds singing happily on the branches, attracting more birds to come in pairs, and then he thought of various things, About the silly girl.

"Ms. sir..."

"Cherish your blessings and have a husband..."

"The duck has grown up... Mom will be back soon... If she sees that the duck has not grown up... she will leave again..."

"Bite you...don't hit me...my husband..."

"Xifu is afraid that my husband...has disappeared...my husband is here...Xifu is waiting here."

In the red afterglow, in the air, I could vaguely see the ragged woman using her thin body to tremble but stubbornly protect him behind her, "Because you are a husband who cherishes his blessings."

His eyes were extremely firm.

Under the rain curtain, a silly woman stood on her feet and waved in the rain, "Mr. sir! Cherishing blessings will feed the ducklings big... Come back soon!"

Trivial scenes, the innocent expression of the silly girl Xifu, the look of crying, and the look of being as happy as a child, kept passing by in his memory, and then came back. Unconsciously, he stood up, and the night fell outside. .

The people in the picture disappeared into the air.

"Cherish the blessing...I won't go anywhere in this life until I find you." He shook his hand, trying to catch the disappearing illusion.

Finally let it go.

Then the surrounding sounds gradually amplified and came to my ears.

"Bai Ning...Bai Ning! Cheer up, Xifu is not here, I am still here... The living vial is still there... Look at me." A vial called anxiously beside him. .

Further away, under the eaves, Linglong cried loudly, "You compensate my mother... You compensate my mother."

"The emperor wants to take away Xifu... What can I do? Do you want Sun to stop killing all those forbidden soldiers?" This was Bai Di's voice.

"Ahhhh - I, the old Sun, should have just gone to the Jinluan Palace and killed the emperor's son!" This was Sun Zanzhi's voice.

The sounds in this courtyard were gathering, stimulating Bai Ning. There was no expression on his face, he just looked coldly at the darkening sky, and the lights under the eaves were flickering. Not long after, a figure came over in a hurry, stepped into the courtyard, and walked to Bai Ning's side, Whispered a few words.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked outside, his eyes flashing with madness and violence.

"Let's do it..."
