Chapter 53 The weak princess VS the crazy regent (53)

After Shi Qing left, he asked the system to keep an eye on Meng Xuanheng, and then relayed it to her after listening.

When Shi Qing was walking through the imperial garden, she suddenly heard someone calling her. Looking around, she saw Baili Zhao and his men standing under the pavilion not far away.

Baili Zhao walked quickly to Shi Qing, raised his right hand and put it on his heart, leaned over slightly and saluted with a smile, looking polite, "Bailizhao sees you, Your Majesty."

"I have something to say to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, would you like to sit under the pavilion with me for a while?"

Shi Qing rolled his eyes slightly and responded in a low voice, "Okay."

Baili Zhao curled his lips and smiled, turned sideways, raised his arm and pointed to the pavilion, "Your Majesty, please."

Shi Qing walked up to the pavilion and sat down. Baili Zhao followed him and sat opposite Shi Qing.

Shi Qing lowered his eyes and glanced at the teapot on the table, his apricot eyes flashed slightly, and a dark light passed through his eyes, "Have you been waiting here for me, little Khan?"

Baili Zhao didn't make any excuses. He directly admitted when Shi Qing said, "I have indeed been waiting here for Your Majesty."

He picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Shi Qing, and pushed it in front of Shi Qing, "Has your Majesty ever thought about the future?"

Shi Qing covered up the dark light in his eyes and pretended not to understand, "I don't understand what you are saying, little Khan? What will happen in the future?"

Baili Zhao had a smile on his lips, looking innocent, but he talked about imperial power very boldly.

"Although Your Majesty is now in the position of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, your imperial power will inevitably be controlled by others. Doesn't Your Majesty want to change and truly become the king of this great Zhou Dynasty?"

When Shi Qing heard the words, it seemed as if he had not heard them. He did not answer Baili Zhao immediately. Instead, he slowly played with the tea cup in his hand, raised it to his lips, took a slight sniff, and said softly: "This tea smells good."

Baili Zhao didn't show the slightest eagerness when he saw this, and then talked about tea with Shi Qing, "This is tea made by our Feng Mu using a special method. If your majesty likes it, I will make it available to you later." Send all the tea leaves to His Majesty."

"It's not necessary." Shi Qing put the tea cup in his hand back on the table, raised his eyes and stared straight at Baili Zhao, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his voice was somber that he couldn't tell the emotion, "Who knows if there is anything in this tea?" It’s poison.”

Baili Zhao paused in the act of pouring tea for himself, the smile on his face faded slightly, and a flash of surprise and coldness flashed across his eyes very quickly, as if he didn't expect Shi Qing to be so direct.

But in an instant, he returned to his innocent and harmless look with a smile on his face, "In that case, let's forget it, so as not to damage the friendly relationship between His Majesty and me."

"It's just that if Your Majesty doesn't make changes, your Majesty's tea or meals may actually be poisoned in the future."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to be walking on thin ice all the time. You have to be careful and worry every day whether you will lose your life one day."

When Shi Qing heard this, the corners of his lips curved wider, but there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile, "Little Khan, do you think you can help me, a woman, secure the throne more than the regent? "

Baili Zhao put his arm on the table, leaned slightly and looked at Shi Qing with a smile, "Why not?"

"Although most of the people who have ascended to the throne have been men since ancient times, there are not without exceptions. The Central Plains has done it before. Since people in the past can do it, why can't your Majesty?"

Baili Zhao's brows and eyes sparkled, revealing a hint of ambition, "When the time comes, your Majesty will be able to form an alliance with us, Feng Mu, to conquer several other countries and rule the world together. Wouldn't that be a good story that will be remembered forever?"

Shi Qing silently took Baili Zhao's look into his eyes, and when he saw that he was not surprised at all, he confirmed his suspicion. Baili Zhao had already understood the current situation in Da Zhou clearly, so he came to find her.

But she, Shi Qing, would never become a pawn in the hands of others.

Shi Qing's lowered eyelashes covered the sudden coldness and sternness in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, she pretended to be impressed, but she did not relent and agreed, "The regent is the one hanging above my head." You, Feng Mu, are the same as you with the sword."

"How can I believe that cooperating with you is not seeking skin from a tiger?"

Faced with Shi Qing's suspicion, Baili Zhao just smiled and said, "If Your Majesty is willing, you and I can cooperate for a small amount first, and I will let Your Majesty see my sincerity."

Shi Qing looked at Baili Zhao. The two faced each other across the table, their eyes colliding in mid-air. There was a hidden turmoil under the calm surface.

Just then, there were footsteps approaching.

Shi Qing turned around and saw that it was Meng Xuanheng.

Meng Xuanheng felt unhappy after listening to the minister's words. When he arrived, he saw Shi Qing and Baili Zhao sitting together and talking, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

Meng Xuanheng quickly walked into the pavilion and stood beside Shi Qing. Although there were many emotions in his heart, his face remained calm and natural.

"The little Khan is very interested in drinking tea and admiring the flowers here. However, why do you only invite His Majesty to tea and not me? Is it because you look down on me?"

He spoke in a joking tone, looking at Bailizhao's dark pupils, which revealed a darkness behind a shallow smile.

Baili Zhao stood up and replied with a smile: "How dare you? The regent is so handsome and unparalleled that I can't admire him enough. It's just that it was by chance that I met your majesty. Thanks to your majesty's favor and willingness to drink with me."

"In the future, whenever your majesty and the regent have time to go to Fengmu, I will definitely treat your majesty and the regent to have a drink of fine wine as a landlord."

Meng Xuanheng: "Okay, your Majesty and I will definitely go to Fengmu and get drunk with the little Khan later."

"But now that I have just come to court, there are still many memorials waiting for His Majesty to deal with. I will excuse you today. If the little Khan needs anything, please tell the palace officials."

Baili Zhao smiled and responded: "Okay."

Meng Xuanheng looked down at Shi Qing and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, it's time to go."

With Baili Zhao present, he didn't want his relationship with Shi Qing to be exposed.

Shi Qing said nothing, stood up and walked away, followed closely by Meng Xuanheng.

Baili Zhao stood under the pavilion, watching Shi Qing and Meng Xuanheng leave. The smile on his face disappeared, and his whole aura became cold.

Seeing that the people were walking away, Salmon, who was standing behind Baili Zhao, said: "Little Khan, why do you want to expose these things in front of the puppet emperor? Doesn't this give them a chance to be wary of us?"

Baili Zhao chuckled in a low voice, raised his eyebrows and stared in the direction where Shi Qing and Meng Xuanheng were leaving, "Do you think they wouldn't have thought of it if I didn't tell you?"

"The Meng family was wiped out back then. Meng Xuanheng has been dormant for many years and now he has become the regent. And that minister can survive under Meng Xuanheng and sit on the throne. They should not be underestimated."

Salmon said: "Meng Xuanheng does have some abilities, but that Shiqing, I heard, came from the cold palace. Now he is just a puppet, still a woman, and can't make any waves."

Baili Zhao: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had many princesses, and they were all killed. But at this time, Qing was spared from death. Even though she was just a puppet, she sat on the dragon chair."

Baili Zhao thought about Shi Qing's test on him just now, and a smile rose in his eyes.

"For an abandoned girl from a cold palace to reach her current position, this is not something that ordinary people can achieve."

He turned back and glanced at Salmon behind him, "You must remember to never underestimate your enemy."

Salmon immediately responded: "I will remember it."

Meng Xuanheng and Shi Qing walked a little further away. After leaving Baili Zhao's field of vision, Meng Xuanheng could no longer pretend to be calm.

He immediately stopped, looked at Shi Qing with nervous and concerned eyes, and asked, "Did you drink Baili Zhao's tea just now?"

Shi Qing: "Of course I didn't drink."

Meng Xuanheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Shi Qing turned around, raised his eyes and looked directly into Meng Xuanheng's eyes, and asked directly: "What did the minister say to you just now?"
