I was arched by the white moonlight

The hospitality was hard to come by, after Sinan changed his clothes, he met Ji Zhi and Huai Yao who were already waiting outside the door.

Yezhi's clothes are still his favorite scarlet, but the material is much more refined than the previous one, and it is inlaid with gold thread and embroidered with delicate patterns.

Huai Yao's clothes are the emperor's dragon robe.On the bright yellow robe, there is a pliosaur winding upwards.The clothes Huaiyao gave Sinan were emerald green robes, which were very different from the white ones she usually wears, with a narrow waist line drawn around her waist, making her look tall and slender, with a good complexion.

Huai Yao nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, you look good this way, as expected, I have good eyesight." Huai Yao, who was wearing a dragon robe without a trace in this city, seemed to have a majestic aura for no reason, but now that she opened her mouth like this, her aura was full. none.

Si Nan thanked blankly: "Thank you, but my original body—"

"Okay, that's it. The banquet has already started, let's go." Huai Yao walked away without waiting for Sinan to finish, and Sinan had no choice but to keep up.

The Beiling Palace is very large, and there are lit handles everywhere in the palace, which are as bright as the day.Si Nan looked around and found that many of them were newly built.Sure enough, he deserved to be oppressed to the point where he had no choice but to dominate the world in Beiling, Si Nan sighed in an unclear way.

Huai Yao led the two of them back and forth through some remote alleys in the palace, making seven turns, eight turns and nineteen detours, almost confusing Si Nan.

The three of them were silent all the way, Huai Yao was not in a hurry, walking like a walk.

But this made Sinan notice one thing: "Huaiyao, why don't you bring a few servants?"

Although it is Huai Yao's freedom to bring or not, it is a bit strange that the emperor does not bring a father-in-law and court lady.

"They can't be trusted, so I won't take them." Huai Yao's words were like thunder on the ground.But it's not over yet, Huaiyao said with a gloomy face again, "The group of things that have done more than succeed in failure have fallen on both sides of the wall."

Simon: ...something?

Ye Zhi chuckled lightly: "So that's why you want us to go home with you, is that why?"

Simon: ...Aren't they here to play? ? ?

Seeing what Sinan wanted to express at a glance, Huai Yao turned around and walked back, with a trace of apology on her face: "I'm sorry, Sinan, but I did have other intentions in asking you to come back with me in the first place."

Seeing that Huai Yao's expression was a bit grim, Sinan didn't get entangled in this matter anymore, it might be better to say that he didn't understand, they are very close friends, if Huai Yao asked for help, he would definitely not just sit idly by, why did he keep silent? Keep silent from them?

Simon is really easy to understand.Thinking of this, Huai Yao shook her head helplessly, not everyone in the world is as clear-spirited as Si Nan.Huai Yao, who was sent to Anchu as a proton since childhood, has a deep understanding of the human heart. It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's just that he can't believe it.

"Okay, actually I don't want to tell you that it's not because I don't have enough friends, but mainly because I don't want to startle the enemy. I'm not sure if there are surveillance around me watching at any time." Huai Yao said without changing his face: "You should have heard a lot What happened in Beiling, the national teacher of Beiling country, don't you know if you know?"

"I've heard about it, but I don't know much about it," Sinan said.

Yu Zhi seemed to know some inside information, and talked to the two of them: "Don't ask him about this, Sinan doesn't like to hear people gossip behind others' backs, but I have heard it a lot. What did you say before~ Bei Ling Guoshi is a man of gods, fortune-telling, divination, military affairs, literature, etc... that can be said to be proficient in everything."

"Besides, I heard that Beiling National Teacher never shows his face to others." As he said that, Ji Zhi poked Huai Yao's lower back in an unscrupulous way: "Have you seen him? What does he look like? It's really curious." Grabbing my heart and scratching my liver."

Huai Yao was strangely silent for a moment, her face was ugly, as if remembering something terrible, she said in a trembling voice: "That is not human at all, let alone a god. That thing has no face, it is either a demon or a demon."

"..." Sinan shuddered all over, what does it mean to have no face?

"Is it shameless to have no face?" Ji Zhi asked.

Huai Yao shook her head and smiled wryly: "There is no shame, his face looks like it was cut in half with a knife. There are only eye sockets without eyeballs, and there is no tongue, only half of the mouth and throat can be seen, and the bridge of the nose is gone. .”

Zhizhi took a breath and said solemnly: "Hey, this is terrible. No matter how he became like this, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He can still live and talk like this, which shows that the internal force in his body should be quite deep. .”

Jizhi thought for a moment, then looked at Sinan: "Are you okay?"

Sinan is fine, so far his expression is still calm.

"Let's see."

It was just four simple words, but it made Huai Yao slightly let go of the burden in his heart. Sinan's ability to say these four words shows that he still has a bottom line in his heart.

"But does this national teacher want to usurp the throne?" Jizhi guessed, there must be a plan to make Huai Yao, who is the emperor, so afraid.

"That's right. The North Ridge military power is in the hands of the National Teacher, and he has also recruited many royal nobles from other countries who have been exiled in the frontier to join the crusade." Huai Yao said casually, looking not very afraid.

"What about the one on your side?" Jizhi asked.

"Not currently." Huai Yao said.

The corner of Ye Zhi's mouth twitched: "...not one?"

Huai Yao was very frank: "No. However, not everyone has turned their backs. The talents promoted by the imperial examination in the past two years were all from the neutral camp."

But these words did not bring any psychological comfort to Xie Zhi. He grabbed Si Nan's shoulders and sighed: "It seems that we are going to be tired this time."

"Why?" Sinan asked.

Ji Zhi pointed to Huai Yao, and said in a serious tone: "This kid wants to get rid of all those who have a different opinion of him."

This sentence seems very simple, but it is a big project.

Si Nan frowned, and stopped: "I want to kill..." Si Nan automatically silenced, but the meaning he wanted to express had already been received by the other two.

"Don't worry, what I want you to do for me is to collect evidence that those people disobeyed the emperor." After finishing speaking, Huai Yao took the trouble to comfort him: "Sinan, don't worry about it, most of these people are in their positions. Its job is to rely on the old and sell the old to bully the new officials with great ambitions."

"As far as Prime Minister Zuo is concerned, his subordinates are corrupt and extort hard-earned money from the common people. Every year, there are tens of thousands of peasants who can't afford to live because of the landlord's bullying and raising prices. It is not a pity that these pests die. If the country is not rectified... ..." Huai Yao's voice unknowingly became smaller until it disappeared.

it is more than words.

Simon also fell silent.He remembered that since he came to the mortal world, which of the people he helped along the way was not impoverished and half-footed on the coffin, and which of the scenery he had seen along the way was not the loess that could not cover the bones.

He wants to help Huai Yao, on the one hand, because it does not violate justice and morality on the basis of friendship.Second, although he doesn't know much about governance, he does want to help change the country.

"Okay, I'll help you." Si Nan said, he looked at Huai Yao seriously, which made Huai Yao startled.

"Okay, okay~" Xiezhi put his body on Sinan's body, skillfully interrupting the gaze of the two of them, while Xiezhi had a very helpless expression: "Then I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany the gentleman."

"Thank you." Huai Yao whispered.

Si Nan showed a slight smile, and accepted the other party's kindness frankly.

After the three of them spoke clearly while wandering around, Huai Yao led them on the real road to the celebration banquet.

The three of them came to the Azure Dragon Palace in the North Ridge Palace.

The long steps are paved all the way up, the palace has a golden roof and red doors, and the two dragons on the cornices are exquisitely carved and vivid.The palace is surrounded by green shades and the lake light is microwaved. The overall style is solemn and elegant, which is very enjoyable.

The door of the hall was wide open, and Huai Yao walked in directly.

The eunuch father-in-law, who stood waiting at the door for a long time, hastily dragged out his tone and said loudly: "The emperor is here~!"

The melodious playing music in the hall stopped, and the many noises above the hall came to an abrupt end.

There was only a moment of silence, and everyone above the rear hall quickly knelt down.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you." Huai Yao waved her hand indifferently, walking towards the throne.

"Thank you, long live!" The officials stood up, sat down hastily, and slid upright, not daring to make a mistake.

Huai Yao opened her face coldly, glanced across the group of officials, then summoned an eunuch, and said: "The one who comes with me is my distinguished guest, please give me your seat."

The eunuch didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly ordered his servants to bring two more cushions and two more wine tables.

The positions of Jizhi and Sinan are only below the left and right prime ministers, but above many courtiers.And not next to each other, but like the left and right ministers, sitting facing each other from left to right.

He took a step ahead of Si Nan and chose to sit next to the left minister that Huai Yao had just mentioned, and Si Nan followed to sit next to the right minister.

Huai Yao saw that the two were seated, so she stood up and raised her glass.The officials followed suit and stood up, and some of their servants stepped forward to fill up the wine.

"Three years have passed since the day of the unification of Beiling. Today, I hold a banquet not only to celebrate today's three years ago, but also to expect and encourage those who will succeed me."

The rest of the people also drank the wine in their glasses.

Si Nan is too strong to drink, even fine wine from the heavens can't get into his mouth, let alone such inferior wine from the mortal world.So, Si Nan just took a sip before sitting down, looking at the dishes brought up by the maid, and remained silent.

Above the main hall, the music resumed, and some people began to perform etiquette with the people around them, chatting boringly.Soon, the hall became noisy again.

Just as Huaiyao and the ministers on the right came and went, a high-ranking official beside Si Nan suddenly said to him: "Young master, your majesty took the wine and cleaned it up. Your wine glass is still full. It would be too disrespectful to His Majesty, but fortunately, he is still His Majesty's distinguished guest, so he is so disrespectful!"

All of a sudden, the chattering noise in the hall disappeared, and everyone's eyes were on Sinan, and some people were still pointing at him and whispering.Huai Yao opened her mouth, but when she saw Si Nan's raised eyebrows, she froze for a moment.

Si Nan glanced at the wine in the glass, then turned his head to look at the courtier who was speaking, and said calmly: "My friendship with Your Majesty cannot be explained clearly in a few words. A close friend can be stabbed in the back, let alone judged by wine."

"I can't drink too much. I got up and took a cup. Although I didn't finish the wine, I paid my respects. It's not like some people who drink up but have different intentions, hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Accepting the wine of meritorious officials, doing bad things .”

The courtier who provoked trouble was angered by the indifferent Si Nan, blushing and furious, he said anxiously: "How do we know if you are really loyal to His Majesty?!"

Si Nan turned his head to look at him suspiciously: "I am His Majesty's honored guest. Your Majesty should judge whether I am loyal to His Majesty. What does it matter to you? You are only an official, but you meddle in the affairs of the Holy Majesty. My lord, be careful."

The courtier who provoked the trouble turned pale in an instant, trembling all over, subconsciously looking at Huai Yao who was seated.

Huai Yao raised her eyebrows at him, smiled very darkly, and said in a cold tone: "It's really... There is nothing to do without rules."
