The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

The next day, it was rare for the court to open. Bai Yan was dressed in an official uniform. Just as he walked out of the courtyard, Luo Yun suddenly called to him, "My lord, there is this."

When Bai Yan turned his head, he saw the jade pendant in Luoyun's hand.

"This jade doesn't look like an adult's." Luoyun has served Bai Yan for many years, and is very familiar with Bai Yan's personal belongings. Although she has seen this jade pendant several times, it does not seem to belong to Bai Yan, and she has never seen him. Inkstone is worn, and it is only worn close to the body every day.

It's like... a token of love.

Bai Yan took it and stroked it, "It's definitely not mine."

"That's..." Luo Yun's beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan's face, and she couldn't help guessing again and again.

Bai Yan didn't hide it, and said calmly, "Ms. Bai's." After speaking, he walked out.

Luoyun stood there in a daze, "Mrs. Bai?" Both her parents and adults are gone, and this Mrs. Bai seems to have no one other than the future mistress of Bai Mansion.

She suddenly laughed. It seemed that the Bai Mansion would welcome a mistress soon.

Luoyun here just learned of a major event, while Bai Yan over there ran into Yan Ruli as soon as he went out.

"Xingzhang!" Yan Ruli poked his head out of the carriage, "Come with me this morning."

Bai Yan didn't care, and got into the car.

As the carriage drove away, Yan Ruli couldn't help but speak, "I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"Concubine Yun is pregnant with a dragon fetus." Yan Ruli lowered his voice, "I heard that Wei Chengdan asked to see His Majesty and had a conflict with her. I don't know if Concubine Yun did it on purpose or what happened. Give Yunbi a hand."

"The concubine Yun cried out in pain on the ground. She insisted that she had a stomachache, and then called the imperial physician to see her sick."

"It's impossible for Wei Chengdan to find a concubine on purpose, didn't he say that he didn't see anyone at all in the past two days? Why did there suddenly be a conflict?" Bai Yan frowned.

"Just say that it was Concubine Yun who stopped Wei Chengtan, and the two of them didn't know what to say, so they moved." Yan Ruli usually didn't care much about these things, but recently, things in Yingdu were in turmoil, and he followed suit.

Just now when I was walking this way, I happened to meet my colleague, and I happened to hear about it.

Bai Yan felt even more unbelievable. According to Wei Chengdan's temperament, if he was asked to fight with a woman, he was afraid that the other party had violated his big taboo.

"It didn't take long for the matter to come to Huai Chun." Yan Ruli looked at Bai Yan's expression, "He directly sent someone to send Wei Chengdan to the Queen Mother's small Buddhist hall, saying that it was His Majesty's intention."

"Actually, where is your majesty, it is clearly him. It is said that your majesty has been busy making alchemy and cultivating immortals these days, and the palace is constantly sending precious medicinal materials, as well as some Zeng Qing, alum stone, and talc. Only those old guys from the household department yesterday Running around crying poor."

"Let's not talk about a concubine Yun, even if the imperial concubine is here, His Majesty may not be willing to show any kindness. So there was no oral edict at all. Wei Chengdan was directly brought to the Buddhist hall by Huai Chun, and he suppressed the news. When others asked, he just said The second prince prayed for His Majesty, as for that concubine Yun, Huai Chun saw her once, and now she is very quiet."

"Huai Chun is protecting Wei Chengdan." Bai Yan said in one word.

Yan Ruli blinked, "This Eunuch Huaichun is the Second Prince Party?"

"No." Bai Yan leaned back, half-closed his eyes, "It's just a defense."

He seemed to sigh, "Wei Chengdan's temperament is really not suitable for coming back."

"But he has a noble status," Yan Ruli mostly listened to him from other sources, "Grand Master Yun is not in good health, and now he puts all his hopes on the second prince."

Bai Yan didn't understand what Yan Ruli said, but what he was really worried about was Huai Chun.

The carriage walked slowly into the palace, and at the gate of the palace, they met Xiao Jiuqin again.

This time, Bai Yan didn't need to wink, Xiao Jiuqin only took a long look at him before entering the palace.Yan Ruli looked at Pingjinhou's back, then turned to look at Bai Yan, "Is there something wrong between you two?"

"No." Bai Yan told the truth.

Yan Ruli didn't believe it, "If it's normal, he's running over now, so he can turn around and leave."

"Avoid suspicion." Bai Yan dropped two words and left.

Only Liu Yan Ruli looked puzzled, "Avoid suspicion? What can the two of you avoid?"

Contrary to what Bai Yan thought, today's Xiao Jiuqin was very peaceful, the two of them only met once in the whole court meeting.

However, when the emperor came out in Taoist uniform, everyone was in an uproar.

Throughout the past and present, no emperor has come to the court wearing a Taoist uniform. His crown is disheveled and his eye sockets are sunken. Compared with the previous days, he is really tired and lacks energy.

Huai Chun still had a gentle face. Unexpectedly, Wei Chengdan was not there, but Wei Chengju appeared in front of His Majesty.

He hadn't been to the court for many days, and the courtiers saved a lot of papers, one after another, the ministers came out to make a statement, but it didn't take long for the emperor to withdraw from the court.

Speaking of half of the ministers, even if they are full of depression, they can only let the emperor leave in the end.

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more obsessed with alchemy. If this continues, how will the country be slack in governing the country?"

"Yeah, even the court meeting has ended hastily, and it will definitely cause disaster after a long time..."

"...Don't talk about it, let's go out of the palace first."

The courtiers left in groups of twos and threes, Yan Ruli was surprised, and Bai Yan had disappeared.

"Huai Chun." Bai Yan followed the little eunuch to a remote place, and saw Huai Chun waiting for him there.

"To make a long story short," Huai Chun looked unhappy, "Even I rarely have the chance to see His Majesty these days." He handed Bai Yan a medicine bag, "This is the medicine Your Majesty has been taking, there is no problem."

Bai Yan took it and opened it, there were two round pills inside, he looked casually, "Are you sure there is no problem?"

"Several imperial physicians have checked, and most of them are tonics." Bai Yan didn't look very happy. In the past few days, he wanted to inquire about the emperor's news, while protecting Wei Chengtan, and almost broke himself in half.

Bai Yan looked at him worriedly, "Don't be too tired, no matter what, that Taoist priest never dared to prescribe medicine to today's son, but it was that concubine Yun, what's going on?"

"Concubine Yun is indeed pregnant with a dragon fetus." When it came to this, Huai Chun couldn't help being a little angry, "Cheng... The Second Highness originally wanted to see His Majesty, but Concubine Yun repeatedly obstructed her, and then..."

"So what?"

"Tell me a few words," Huai Chun paused, "and he lost his temper."

This "he" is obviously Wei Chengdan.

Bai Yan understood in an instant, he suppressed the anger in his chest, but wanted to comfort Huai Chun on the face, "Don't care about the matter until now, that Concubine Yun was originally a little palace lady, but she got face, now she is more arrogant, what he said Don't worry about it, when the prince is born and Concubine Yun returns to the palace, then it will be difficult for her to act recklessly like she is now."

"Yeah." Huai Chun didn't know if he had listened.

The two spoke a few more words, Huai Chun suddenly motioned him to look behind.

As soon as Bai Yan turned his head, he saw Xiao Jiuqin standing not far away, it seemed that he had been here for a while.

Huai Chun was so clever, he left silently.

When the surroundings became quiet again, Xiao Jiuqin came over, but Bai Yan felt a little guilty. He was still very shy thinking about the few words he said in Hualiu Alley yesterday.

But Xiao Jiuqin obviously didn't wink, he went straight to the point, and the moment he opened his mouth, Bai Yan wanted to run away, "I've thought about what you said yesterday for a long time."

"Oh, um..." Bai Yan's eyes wandered, and the Great Compassion Mantra had already been recited in his heart.

Xiao Jiuqin continued, "What kind of liking do you mean...?"

"Ah?" Bai Yan was caught off guard by a straight ball, and he stuttered when he spoke, "Also, what else can it be, just that, that means..."

He was evasive, but Xiao Jiuqin suddenly grabbed his hand, "Is that what I thought?"

"...Well, that's what you think."

"Then..." Xiao Jiuqin leaned over, making a gesture to kiss Bai Yan, but was pushed away, and Bai Yan sternly said, "This is the imperial palace."

"So what?" Lord Xiao didn't care, "There are a lot of cheating here, not to mention that you and I are logical, compared to them, we are aboveboard."

Bai Yan: "..." Suddenly, he didn't know that "upright" could be used like this.

Lord Xiao Hou's face became thicker day by day, Bai Yan couldn't fight back, he couldn't let his temper fool around here, but the two of them went back and forth and argued for a long time, when Bai Yan realized that he was already in the carriage of the Hou Mansion.

"Yushitai still has official business." Bai Yan tried to discuss it with Xiao Jiuqin calmly.

As a result, the other party only hummed and did not continue.

Bai Yan: "..." Hou Ye, it's easy for you to lose me like this.

It's hard for a scholar to explain why he met a soldier, but when it comes to Xiao Jiuqin, he doesn't even give you a chance to reason.Bai Yan endured it, and suddenly got up to support Xiao Jiuqin's side, and kissed him fiercely.

Is this enough?

Master Bai's eyelashes trembled.

Master Xiao squinted: Not enough, far from enough!

The next moment he held the man in his arms, tightly strangling the poor Mr. Bai with a pair of ape arms, breathing hot breath between his lips, as if he was swallowing life alive, and Mr. Bai shrank back in fright.

But everyone was already in his arms, so how could Xiao Jiuqin let go of this excellent opportunity, he kissed her thoroughly, and within a stick of incense, Bai Yan almost collapsed in Xiao Jiuqin's arms.

He poked Xiao Jiuqin's chest with his finger, "You are very fierce!"

The grievance in the words is obvious, Mr. Bai and Xiao Jiuqin always get along with each other, and he is the one who is bullied in the end.

The wound on his lip healed and then broke, and when he saw Xiao Jiuqin, he wanted to run away. He had been a vegetarian for many years, why this guy was like a vicious dog, he insisted on leaving Some traces always provoke Huai Chun and the others to make fun of him.

"It's just like this to you," Xiao Jiuqin kissed his forehead again, "Don't you like it?"

Bai Yan's lips moved, frank and serious, "I can't say I don't like it..."

"It's just," he frowned, "you should return to your relatives, don't leave a mark."

The smile on the corner of Xiao Jiuqin's mouth widened, "Don't leave a mark, right?"

"En." Bai Yanwu nodded, thinking that he had discussed with Xiao Jiuqin and understood.But the next moment, the dizzy turn was suddenly overturned, and he let out a cry of surprise, and saw Xiao Jiuqin leaning over, attacking his lips.

"Xiao Jiuqin! Uh..." Bai Yan's eyes turned red with anger, but Xiao Jiuqin comforted him in a low voice after the kiss, "Next time I will definitely not leave any marks..."

Bai Yan's eyes turned red from being kissed, and he didn't believe Xiao Jiuqin's nonsense at all.

"Xiao Jiuqin, are you finished?!" The moment the belt was gently untied, Mr. Bai finally got angry and kicked him out.

Xiao Jiuqin hid in a hurry, and was terrified, "You... are trying to kill the grass, the roots!"
