you got on my tail

Five days later in the capital, the snow had just melted.

Vientiane is renewed after the Spring Festival, and the palace hall is also full of warmth.

Three days ago, Xu Yan's old department sent a woman into the palace with the intention of assassinating the emperor, but she was quickly captured by the guards without even touching the main hall door. Fu Jiying was still a little surprised and ordered the Jin Yiwei to interrogate her severely.

Last night there was another military report delivered by a fast horse. A young general led his troops straight down from the cliff of Yudu Mountain and burned the grain and grass that the Turks had arranged in Dading City.

"General Xun helped me repel the rebellious party Xu Yan before, and this time he led the troops to capture Dading City. He is really a hero of my Great Zhou." Fu Jiying smiled and looked down at the officials, his face was obviously a little tired, "I intend to restore him He is the second-rank general of Dragon and Tiger, and he is ordered to go to the frontier to help King Yan fight against the enemy, what do you think?"

The Turkic rebellion, General Xun's resignation and his resignation, descended from the sky. This is a very good thing. The officials should immediately respond to the emperor's high opinion, but someone came out of the ranks and knelt down, raised his neck, and made a loud noise. He said: "No."

"Why not?" Fu Jiying frowned, squinting at the white-haired old man kneeling in front of him, Li Lun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"The previous time, Xun Luo left without making a sound, showing his disobedience." Li Lun raised his head tremblingly, and analyzed carefully: "This time our army happened to be defeated, so he just got the news and came back to make meritorious service. It's someone with a heart who set out to calculate and forcibly figured out the right time and place, the emperor should think twice before employing someone!"

"I've already said it." Fu Jiying waved his hands, still smiling, and didn't seem to be angry, "Xun Luo left before because of something at home, not for other reasons, Li Aiqing's loyalty can be learned from, but this time, I really didn't worry too much. "

Li Lun is a veteran of the two dynasties, loyal and loyal, his son Li Yuan is a general stationed at Bailuguan, not to mention this old man, Fu Jiying didn't bother to care about him, instead he gave him a rare magnanimous compliment.

Li Lun stiffened his neck, but still wanted to argue.

Just before he was about to remind Fu Jiying whose son Xun Luo was, Bai Xuehe took a step out of the crowd of officials, and against the tight crimson official uniform, he seemed to have become thinner, with sharp white cheeks raised slightly, revealing With a trace of sickness and beauty, the whole person becomes more and more strangely good-looking.

Seeing him coming out, all the officials turned their heads, showing some indescribable expressions.

"Master Li is right." Bai Xuehe smiled lightly, knelt down to salute and stood up again, then folded his hands in his sleeves, "It's just that I have some personal matters about Master Li recently when King Chayu and Xu banqueted the rest of the party. Report to the emperor."

"Oh?" Hearing the word Yuwang, Fu Jiying lifted his spirits, squinted his eyes again, and showed the emperor's extremely insincere and extremely suspicious smile.

"It is true that Xun Luo left with his seal, but not many people know about it, such as you." Bai Xuehe turned his head and smiled, and the officials from all around shook their heads, hurriedly clearing the relationship, "Dare you ask Mr. Li, are you How do you know?"

"This..." Li Lun was taken aback for a moment, hesitating for three minutes, but after all he felt that the safety of the country was more important, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It was the dog who sent the news from Bailu Pass. Your Majesty, no matter how I know, Xun Luo will not It's true that you left without saying a word..."

"Oh, from Bailuguan?" Bai Xuehe interrupted him with a smile. After laughing, he suddenly looked serious and bowed his hands to Fu Jiying, "Your Majesty, I remember that General Li Yuan and King Yu had a close personal relationship. The main force of the Banquet Party, how come Bailu Pass is better informed than Master Li who is in the capital once he leaves?"

Fu Jiying himself was able to ascend the throne by killing the prince, and he was suspicious by nature, so when he heard these words, a layer of frost immediately appeared between his brows.

Li Lun was stunned for a moment, not thinking about this at all. He hurriedly knelt down tremblingly, almost crying: "Your Majesty! The dog is definitely not involved in this matter! It's Bai Xuehe who spouted blood!"

"Your Majesty just said it casually, there is no bloody mouth." Bai Xueheyi instantly suppressed his smile, knelt down with him in a panic, his face was as white as paper, and said: "Your Majesty, I am in the Ministry of Punishment, and it is to investigate all strange and trivial matters." , if you misunderstand Mr. Li, I hope the emperor will show mercy."

"Li Aiqing, you are the elder of the three dynasties, so I will trust you, let's go down first." After all, Li Lun is a veteran, and Li Yuan has always been loyal. If you say it, it will make people laugh.”

Fu Jiying was supposed to step down the steps for Li Lun, but unexpectedly Li Lun got up, furious and sternly said: "Bai Xuehe, you have never kept your duty, and you are provocative again, what is your intention?!"

"Okay." Seeing that he wanted to scold him again, Fu Jiying frowned and stopped him: "It's getting late, if there is nothing else, let's leave the court here."

Bai Xuehe's words involved King Yu, which was originally considered a big deal, but Fu Jiying obviously didn't want to discuss it any further, and everyone dispersed.

It was already noon at this moment, the sun was hanging straight high in the sky, Bai Xuehe stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, squinted his eyes and turned back, and then hid in the shadow on one side.

There were palace people passing by, Bai Xuehe stood outside the door for a while, looking forward tentatively between his brows, his hands were a little trembling, and his joints were a little red from the cold.

"Master Bai, it's quite cold outside." A prickly young voice said, "Why don't you go back?"

"Today I annoyed the emperor." Bai Xuehe smiled disapprovingly, "I'm afraid he will send me to sue later."

"Then you are really worrying too much." Wei Lan replied respectfully and not very sincerely, "The queen mother suddenly fell ill, and the emperor rushed over. I am afraid that you will not be admitted today."

"Yeah." Bai Xuehe was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his expression, his snow-white hands clenched the corners of his clothes, "Then I'll go back first."

After speaking, he walked forward quickly, perhaps because he had been frozen for too long, his toes were slightly stiff, and before he could take three steps, his right hand was grabbed by Wei Lan.

"Do you know why the queen mother fell ill?" Wei Lan asked without any previous text.

"The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, how do I know for sure?" Bai Xuehe smiled and winked in pretended grief.

"The empress dowager is seriously ill to warn the emperor not to touch Li Lun, otherwise Li Yuan will be involved and the border will be shaken." Wei Lan held his hand tightly with a serious expression on his face.

That hand was freezing cold, without heat, Wei Lan was furious, and froze for a moment, but Bai Xuehe was still smiling, and took the opportunity to take his hand back.

"Xu Yan is dead, now the emperor trusts you completely, and you will be a great scholar soon." Wei Lan raised his head and stared into his eyes with rare seriousness, "I know you want to stand up, but Li Yuan is stationed in Bai It's been five years since Luguan, at this time you want to make an example to others, and you shouldn't choose him!"

Bai Xuehe also raised his head, facing Wei Lan's pupils, those eyes were as gentle as water, without any emotion, and the corners of the eyes drooped slightly, as if they could drown people.

"The emperor trusts you now. If you want to leave, you might as well mention it directly." Wei Lan's tone was sincere, and it didn't seem like a joke at all. He still looked at Bai Xuehe, and after a while, he retreated a little, as if he felt that his words were a little ridiculous. But apart from these, he really couldn't say anything.

Bai Xuehe didn't speak, but still stared at him, but he was half a head shorter than Wei Lan, staring at him felt that he had no momentum, and he was discouraged, waved his hands, and laughed out loud.

"The capital is my home." Then, Bai Xuehe's tone was slow but unshakable, and he smiled and said, "I won't go anywhere."

Suddenly a group of white pigeons flew by, they were raised by some palace, they were not afraid of the cold at all, and they stopped high on the top of the vermilion glazed tiles.

"Master Wei." The white pigeon fluttered its wings, and there was a sound of whirring. A guard in Jin Yi rushed over, not avoiding the presence of Bai Xuehe, and said in a panic: "My lord, that woman is dead!"

"It's just a concubine who ran out of Prince Gong's mansion. If she dies, she will die." Wei Lan quickly interrupted, disdainfully said: "Tell the prince, just buy another one, we don't care about his housework."

"Yes." Jin Yiwei quickly agreed, but his expression was a little strange.

Having said that, several people had already walked near the palace gate, and Bai Fu was standing on the side of the carriage, holding the whip in his hand and looking around.

"Then Master Bai, let's go back first." Wei Lan still had a half-sulky face, as if trying to laugh, "I still have some trivial matters."

Bai Xuehe nodded in agreement, and supported Bai Fu's hand to get into the carriage. The two walked in opposite directions and gradually walked away.

The sound of the carriage gradually disappeared, Wei Lan just turned around and sighed towards the long street.

"My lord." Just now that Jin Yiwei was a little puzzled, "The one who died was obviously the assassin who assassinated the emperor, what do you say, what is it, concubine of Prince Gong's mansion..."

"Master Bai was here just now." Wei Lan turned her head and recovered coldly, "In the future, in front of him, don't talk too much about what we did for the emperor. After Xu Yan died, I always felt that he was a little weird, very similar to..."

"Master Wei, worry too much..." Jin Yiwei interrupted, his face full of disbelief, "Did you forget what Master Bai can do? For the emperor!"

"What if you want to burn jade and stone together?" Wei Lan lowered her eyes, turned around, and suddenly asked sharply.
