Rebirth: Dominating the Country

After explaining Concubine Min's words, Lady Li took advantage of the night to leave from the back door of the palace. Of course, she didn't forget to walk around to the west of the city and knock on the door of a house, and took a bag of hot chestnuts before heading to the city gate.

She was holding the signboard given by Concubine Min, and the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that this weak woman was indeed somewhat noble, so they carefully identified it was the signboard from the palace by the moonlight and let them go.

The guards in the palace are not the same as when she left, because the time spent outside was too long, and the guards on shift have changed.The woman just took a few steps with a package in her arms when a shining silver gun blocked the person who had just changed into a court lady's attire: "When is this? What's in your hand?!"

"The imperial concubine suddenly wanted to eat chestnuts from the west of the city, but the palace couldn't make that kind of taste, so she stuffed some money and asked me to buy it outside. You also know that the master has spoken, we slaves No matter how difficult it is, you have to go. This is the sign given by the empress, so let me enter if you show me the chestnuts. If the chestnuts are cold, it will be difficult to explain to the empress.”

There is only one noble concubine in this palace, and the leading palace guard weighed the gold plate, raised his right hand: "Don't make it so late next time, let it go!"

When the figure of the palace lady was far away, the guard guarding the palace gate let go of his left fist and took a bite of the silver nude in his hand.

Looking at the faint tooth marks on the top, the face that had been cold all the time smiled instantly: "Brothers, cheer up, when the shift changes, let's go drink!"

More than a dozen people came over to look at the heavy silver in the boss's hand, and they all cheered up. This noble concubine is really generous.

Here, Mu Bai got Concubine Min's words, and spent half an hour figuring out what the latter wanted to do.Immediately wrote the secret letter, and when the ink was dry, he released the pigeon that delivered the letter.

The ink he used was prepared from a special potion, and to ordinary people it was just a piece of white paper.Only by using the matching potion can the words above appear, even if someone intercepts it halfway, it will not leak important information.

"When is the master going to see Emperor Qiwen?" Ever since he told Mu Bai about his life experience, Madam Su mentioned that the current Holy One was originally called His Majesty, but now it is only the name of Emperor Qiwen.Of course, Mother Su still has to call her Holy Majesty outside.

In the eyes of Mother Su and those so-called clansmen, no matter how well the northern royal family is doing today, it is not orthodox, and it is not the emperor they recognize.

Mu Bai didn't bother with her address, closed the doors and windows, turned off the lights, and told Su Mama to go back to rest: "If you go today, it will inevitably attract criticism, it's better to go to court with everyone tomorrow, and then go to visit .”

How could it be so fast for the news of the palace to reach here, even though he had a good relationship with Concubine Min Gui, Emperor Qi Wen also acquiesced, but too much gossip on the surface would always bring a lot of bad influence.

Probably because he slept for too long, Mu Bai tossed and turned on the bed, got up in the middle of the night, lit a candle, wrote a long letter, gave orders to more than thirty people, blew his whistle again, His new pet called into the house.

It was a petite shrike, very cute and pitiful, but it was a very fierce bird.Mu Bai spent a lot of thought to make it able to deliver letters for him, and he didn't worry that it would be caught by other large beasts and fierce birds, and it would become the food of those things.It's just that this shrike has many problems, and it's not as reliable as those pigeons.

After letting the bird out, the morning star on the sky gradually disappeared. Mu Bai enjoyed the rare beauty of the sun and the moon shining together, the sky soon brightened again, and the servants in the mansion also climbed up. Get up and start working for your master.

After eating some refreshing food, Mu Bai entered the imperial city again in a carriage.When it was time to go to court, the courtiers waited on the Golden Luan Hall for more than half an hour, but the golden chair on the top was still empty.

In the end, the eunuch who served Emperor Qiwen came out to proclaim the emperor's will, with a long and thin male duck voice: "Your Majesty, the dragon is not in good health. In the court today, if there is something to do, please submit the papers, and the miscellaneous families will hand them over to you." Your Majesty, just resign and leave the court without incident."

When the head eunuch left, he coaxed the pot to explode, if it was really a little sick, how could His Majesty not come to court.Several well-informed ministers were surrounded by other courtiers.

But it didn't take long before they broke up in twos and threes. The former Emperor Qiwen might not be so sensitive about forming party members, but now His Majesty is old, and he is afraid that he will be sent to prison just by listening to a few slanderous words.They want to climb up step by step, but what they want most is to save their own lives.

From the moment he entered the Golden Luan Hall, Mu Bai noticed that there was no Mu Yan among the people waiting together.If there is any disturbance in the palace, apart from Concubine Min's Penglai Palace, it is the East Palace of His Highness the Crown Prince.At this moment, Mu Yan should be performing his filial piety in front of his nominal father.

He straightened his back and raised his jaw slightly. Compared with the group of veterans, he looked extraordinarily vigorous.He is no longer the lazy and content-free King An who was in the court hall with his chest folded and his head bowed in his previous life.As Concubine Min Gui said, this is their chance, and it may be the only chance, success or failure depends on it, he can only firmly grasp it, and then give it a go.

When the courtiers dispersed, Mu Bai turned around and walked to the bedroom where Emperor Qiwen was resting.In broad daylight, the bright yellow dragon tent was rolled up, revealing Emperor Qiwen's sick real dragon body.

The crown prince had just left, and stayed here for an hour and a half to be sent by Emperor Qiwen to deal with those trivial matters.Because Emperor Qiwen was still in good spirits, the prince read the most important things half an hour ago. According to Emperor Qiwen's order, he drew up the decree and wrote the Zhu Zhu, and then the eunuch stamped the seal and passed the imperial decree down. .

Concubine Min Zhang Jin has been serving here since last night. When Mu Yan came, she just washed up in the side hall and used some pastries. The father and son talked about world affairs.

Except for serving some tea to Emperor Qiwen, and occasionally interjecting a few witty words when the father and son were chatting about gossip, the rest of the time remained silent, setting an excellent example for the harem to never interfere in politics.

When Mu Bai entered, the maid immediately moved a small wooden stool covered with soft satin and placed it in front of the dragon bed.Emperor Qiwen put on the airs of being a king and a father and didn't say a word, it was Concubine Min Gui who broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere first.

She just put on a not-so-bright light makeup on the back, and put on a little more powder, which made her already fair complexion look a little pale, and the blue shadows under her eyes that couldn't be covered showed that she was born for her husband worries.

"It's a coincidence that King An came. His Royal Highness has just left. Otherwise, you two brothers can still talk. Last time you came back from Yuncheng, you haven't had a good talk with the crown prince."

She really didn't know what the prince and King An were talking about, but she knew clearly whether there was any "reminiscing about the past", and it was even more impossible not to know that Mu Bai entered the East Palace and stayed there for a long time.Saying this is nothing more than expressing in front of Emperor Qiwen that he does not pay that much attention to King An.

Which one of the people in the palace is not telling the truth, they tell too many lies, and they can't tell the truth from the fake.Just like these days, she has shown her true feelings to the emperor of the northern kingdom every day, making her think that she is real and she really loves this aging man.

As soon as the Runcai man was poisoned, in order to ensure the safety of the emperor, the food and tea presented to Emperor Qiwen had to go through several poison tests, and Concubine Min would also try it first. Wait until she has no reaction before presenting it to the former to enjoy.

Even though he couldn't enjoy the most delicious food in this way, for his own life, Emperor Qiwen could only bear it reluctantly.

"I talked to the emperor before. Thank you for your concern, the imperial concubine. Is the father's illness better? I heard that the father's dragon body is slightly ill, and I feel worried, so I rushed over to have a look. Why is the imperial doctor not waiting by your side?" with?"

"It's not a serious illness, it's just a little bit of poison. Your Majesty is still as strong as before. Besides, it's useless for those quack doctors to be on the sidelines. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be lying on the bed now."

"It is said that sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like silk. If you want to cure it, you still have to take care of it slowly. Although that kind of wolf and tiger medicine is strong and quick to take effect, there are many problems behind it. If those imperial doctors listen I'm afraid I'm going to tear my beard off in anger after seeing the imperial concubine's high opinion."

The anxiety on Mu Bai's face was finally gone because of Concubine Min's half-joking words, and he also said a few folk stories that made Emperor Qiwen happy, without mentioning the court affairs, and of course he didn't mention Prince Mu Yan .

When Emperor Qiwen felt tired and rested on the bed, Mu Bai came out, and Concubine Min was three steps away from him, saying that she came out to see him off according to Emperor Qiwen's wish.

When Mu Bai returned to the palace, he had an extra brocade box in his hand, it was a men's jade hairpin, simple in style, Concubine Min said with a smile that it was a birthday present for him.This gift was given in front of Emperor Qiwen, and the box was opened in front of the latter, it was very upright and would not teach others to gossip.

After returning to Prince An's Mansion, Mu Bai unscrewed the hairpin, and took out a small rolled up note from the hollow upper part.Seeing the words on the note clearly, Mu Bai could not help but gasp, this woman is really courageous, no wonder she is said to be the most poisonous woman, this Concubine Min's method is not bad at all compared to Li Later .

The little note was naturally reduced to ashes in the bright yellow flames, and the flames danced in the man's black eyes. This color reminded him of the man he saw in the palace not long ago.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, anyone who comes to this world has to go through such a life, the indestructible person in his memory is actually aging so fast, it is almost in a trance, one of the other's feet has already stepped into the loess.No, to be more precise, half of his body is now in the loess.

Since no one can escape, he should also enjoy the fruits of his victory and the wealth and glory of the next few decades before he dies.
