Bai Ze immediately froze in place.

The steady footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were stepping on his heart step by step.Such a reunion was completely beyond his expectation, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and Bai Ze staggered back a step.Fortunately, no one noticed his gaffe at this moment, because everyone's attention was focused on the tall man who walked in slowly.

Long live, long live, long live, Bai Ze knelt down on the ground with everyone.

Fear of being seen—that was his only thought at the moment.

"Pingshen." Ji Xuan's voice was as sweet and deep as ever.He stretched out his hand to support the queen, his eyes were gentle, and his words were smiling. "It's already said that there is no need to be polite."

Bai Ze had never seen such a gentle expression before.He was stunned, and suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment.

Being together day and night for more than ten years is not worth the three days between him and her.

Empress Cui looked at Ji Xuan affectionately, and said softly: "Courtesy cannot be discarded. Why did the emperor come here at this hour today?"

Ji Xuan jokingly smiled: "Why, the queen doesn't welcome me?"

"The emperor made fun of his concubines again!" Empress Cui said angrily, and gave Ji Xuan a sideways look, very charming.

Ji Xuan scratched the tip of her nose, "It's early today, isn't this thinking about the queen, and came here without even eating?"

Empress Cui blushed, and murmured: "It turns out that the emperor is here to eat..."

Ji Xuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Bai Ze really wanted to leave here quickly, and really wanted all this to end as soon as possible.

It's a pity that God didn't hear his prayer, Empress Cui suddenly remembered him, winked at him, and said, "Come quickly and thank the emperor for your kindness."

Clenching his hands hidden under his sleeves, Bai Ze slowly raised his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

It was the voice of a strange woman, soft and weak.

At this moment, Bai Ze thought, there is nothing wrong with this now, if Ji Xuan is really sad for himself, he will feel even more uncomfortable.Now Ji Xuan's life is very good, there are all beauties in the country, he should be happy for him.

Thinking about it this way, I realized that it wasn't that hard to endure.

Besides, in Ji Xuan's eyes now, he is just a stranger.

Ji Xuan glanced at him lightly, as if looking at something inconspicuous, turned her head and smiled at Empress Cui: "It's just a few trivial things, the empress doesn't have to take it to heart."

Empress Cui smiled sweetly: "The concubine can't agree to this matter. The concubine will take every ounce of grace that the emperor has shown to the concubine, and I dare not forget it for a moment."

Ji Xuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Bai Ze's help is no longer needed here, he returned to his room led by other maids.

Bai Ze's footsteps were a little swaying, and he didn't realize that he had no strength until he sat down in the room.He also remembers every kindness and every word Ji Xuan treats him in his heart.But all he can do is to die for him. He can't snuggle up to him like a woman, saying that he also remembers his kindness.

What others can say easily, but he never had the chance to say it until his death.

Because he is a man, and because of who he is.

Bai Ze twitched his lips mockingly, did he become sentimental because he was reborn into a woman?When is it now, I still feel self-pity.

Empress Cui, Min Qing, and Qing Hua, who is now possessed by him, are all factors of instability.

The green face of that day, Bai Ze was really impressed.He had never encountered such a dangerous killer before, and he had never seen that kind of venom and hidden weapons before.If these are all Ji Jin's tricks, then Ji Jin who is still on the run is more threatening than he thought before.

……

Bai Ze rested for a few days and felt that his body had recovered, but he couldn't afford to excuse his illness.

He hadn't learned how to be a woman, and how to work next to Empress Cui without being discovered was indeed a problem.Fortunately, his delay did not attract the attention of others.

In the past few days, apart from resting, he has been secretly paying attention to the news around him.

The servants who served in the Queen's Palace also inevitably had the habit of gossiping secretly, so Bai Ze heard quite a lot.

Like his own death.

I heard that the emperor was very angry at what happened at the Empress Sealing Ceremony. For several days, there was a lot of turmoil in the capital, and many people were arrested.I heard that Lord Bai Zebai was posthumously named Marquis Yingwu in order to save His Majesty from death, and he will be buried twenty days later.

I heard that after the death of Lord Bai, Min Qing, the deputy commander of the left, was promoted to be the new commander of the imperial army.

All in all, although such an accident happened and some people were implicated, the world is still peaceful.For these palace people, it's just more talk after dinner.

Moreover, Bai Ze has not found any abnormalities in the people in the Queen's Palace for the time being, and of course, there is no more information to be found.

Just when Bai Ze was thinking about how to go out, Empress Cui came to visit that night.

"I haven't come to see you for the past few days. You are feeling better." Empress Cui always treated Qing Hua very kindly.

Bai Ze didn't expect that he still underestimated Empress Cui's importance to Qinghua, and would come to visit in person, so he could only say, "Empress Lao is worried, the slaves are much better."

"That's good." Empress Cui smiled, "I'm really not used to it without your help. If you feel better, come and help me."

After weighing it up, Bai Ze agreed.

Empress Cui was very happy, and immediately called the eunuch beside her, "From now on, you will all obey Qing Hua's orders, and don't bother me with everything."

In this way, Bai Ze easily took charge of the Queen's Fenglai Palace.

So far, Empress Cui is a lucky woman, there is no empress dowager who needs her to serve, because Empress Ye has been imprisoned in the cold palace by the abolished circle; there is no other woman competing for favor, because Ji Xuan has not yet selected a beautiful woman , and I have no such plan for the time being; let alone worry that my status will be affected in the future, as long as the Cui family does not make a big mistake, the queen's status will be stable, and Ji Xuan has such an experience, let alone abolish the empress easily. Behavior……

What a lucky woman.

The palace has only been cleaned not long ago, and now the palace is very clean, there is almost no mess.

Bai Ze's work is quite easy, he only needs to arrange and arrange various things, and naturally someone will do it, and there is no need to do it himself.

After inspecting a batch of cloth and treasures that had just entered the palace that day, Bai Ze left the queen's bedroom alone.

He went directly to the north. Qingyue Palace, where Ji Xuan lived at the beginning, was in a corner to the north of the palace.The terrain there is remote, backed by the palace wall, very deserted.On weekdays, there is no one inhabited.

Bai Ze and Ji Xuan lived there for more than ten years, so he knew that there was a secret passage leading to the outside world in that palace.This is a secret that only the two of them know.

In those years, he and Ji Xuan entered and exited the palace many times through secret channels, and deployed their forces outside.Only then did he have the opportunity to make a timely move after the death of the first emperor, and control the palace in one fell swoop, thus successfully turning the tables.

Ji Xuan was born of the former empress, the eldest son of the first emperor, and should have lived a life of dignity and dignity.However, after the death of the first empress, the Ye family was named empress and seduced the king. The Ye family was so powerful, and the relatives interfered in the government and disturbed the court. As a result, the majestic eldest son lived in this deserted place for more than ten years, and he couldn't even see the first emperor before his death.

Bai Ze's journey went very smoothly, and he soon arrived at Qingyue Palace.

After Ji Xuan ascended the throne, this place was completely deserted.For Bai Ze, this is an unforgettable memory, but for Ji Xuan, it is probably the past that he can't wait to discard completely.

Bai Ze walked in the dilapidated palace gate and the desolate courtyard.

There is a plum tree in the courtyard, which blooms beautifully in winter.Bai Ze vaguely remembered that when he was brought into the palace, he was still a child under ten years old.He didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know what his name was. As long as he could remember, he had been cheating, abducting and begging for a living.One winter, when there was heavy snowfall, he was beaten half to death for stealing from a rich man, and when he was thrown into the icy river, he was rescued by Ji Xuan, who was only 12 years old.

Ji Xuan named him Bai Ze and asked him to stay by his side.Ji Xuan personally taught him how to read and write, and asked the older eunuch to teach him martial arts... After many years, Bai Ze gradually grew up, but fortunately, he was feminine, and he was never found out as a fake eunuch, so he stayed in Ji Xuan smoothly around.

Bai Ze woke up from his memories and was about to go to the study when he saw a person walking out from behind the plum blossom tree.

After seeing clearly, his face turned pale.

To meet Ji Xuan here!The look of surprise flashed across Bai Ze's eyes, and then he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "My servant has seen the emperor."

Bai Ze couldn't say it, and he couldn't face Ji Xuan in such a capacity.

Besides, what would Ji Xuan think?The child is silent and strange...

Ji Xuan was wearing a black robe, her long hair was pulled up casually, and her hands were behind her back.

He looked at Bai Ze with obvious displeasure and coldness, and said in a low voice, "Raise your head."

Bai Ze's heart trembled, he knew that this was a sign that Ji Xuan was in a very bad mood, and secretly complained.He never expected that Ji Xuan would appear here!What's more, it's this time, otherwise he would definitely not pick this time to come here.

Bai Ze gritted his teeth and raised his head.

Ji Xuan saw his appearance clearly, and the look in his eyes was even colder, "You are Qinghua next to the queen, why do you appear here?"

Bai Ze made a look of sincerity and trepidation, and said: "Servant... this servant was originally going to the Shangfu Bureau to fetch the empress's spring clothes. I don't know, I don't know how I came here..."

"The servant did not expect to run against the emperor, please the emperor to make amends!"

The Shangfu Bureau is not far in front of Qingyue Palace. He is a new maid, so it is reasonable to admit his mistake.

Bai Ze was glad that he hadn't gone to the secret road yet, and only hoped that Ji Xuan would not take his small role seriously and let him get away with it.

Ji Xuan's black eyes were deep, she looked at Bai Ze quietly and did not speak.

Bai Ze felt uneasy, and when he was considering whether to continue to plead for mercy, Ji Xuan suddenly raised his foot and walked over.

Ji Xuan slowly walked up to Bai Ze, bent down, reached out, and pinched his chin.

"Look at me." Ji Xuan said coldly.

Bai Ze's jaw hurt a little from being pinched, he held back his discomfort, his eyes were slightly red, and he could only look directly at Ji Xuan.

What a fragile woman's body, and the sight made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"Really went wrong?" Ji Xuan raised the corners of his lips and said lightly, "This is not a place for you to come."

"It's absolutely true." Bai Ze whispered, "I don't know what this place is..."

"So...do you want to know?" Ji Xuan said, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Bai Ze's heart skipped a beat, Ji Xuan really suspected him!He complained in his heart, if it was just another ordinary maid, it would be fine, but Qing Hua, the queen's personal maid, appeared here alone, otherwise he would not believe it was a coincidence!

Is he going to die here?cannot!

A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and Bai Ze said, "Your servant knows that the emperor doesn't trust you, but can you give me a chance to prove my innocence?"

Ji Xuan looked cold and said, "How do you want to prove it?"

But Bai Ze shook his head, and said, "The emperor is the king of a country, the lord of sages, how can he be manipulated by others. The emperor thinks slaves are guilty, and slaves are guilty. The emperor thinks slaves are innocent, and slaves are innocent." Nature is innocent."

"Then did you fool me with what you said just now?" Ji Xuan's voice was a little cold.

"I don't dare. It's just that it's not about how the slave wants to prove, but what kind of proof the emperor wants to see. The slave knows that the emperor is kind, so he promised the queen to spare the slave's life. The slave Life is not worth mentioning, but the loss outweighs the gain if it hurts the empress's love. So the servant dared to think... ask the emperor to show the servant a way." Bai Ze paused, and said: "If the emperor still doesn't believe it after the incident, Taking the life of a servant is just a trivial matter."

"It's really eloquent." Ji Xuan suddenly smiled, and he looked deeply at Bai Ze, "Then if I say I won't believe you no matter what, what should you do?"

"That slave is willing to die." Bai Ze looked at Ji Xuan without hesitation.

"You really aren't afraid of death at all." Ji Xuan stretched out his fingers, caressed Bai Ze's eyes, and said in a tone of nostalgia, "Why aren't you afraid of death?"

"There is no one who is not afraid of death." Bai Ze said lightly.But what's the point of being afraid if you can't escape it?

What scares him more than death is that death is meaningless.

Ji Xuan looked at him for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Bai Ze up, and Bai Ze fell into Ji Xuan's arms unexpectedly, he raised his eyes suddenly, and saw Ji Xuan's face close at hand.A soft touch on the lips...

Bai Ze stared wide-eyed, looking at Ji Xuan in disbelief.

Ji Xuan's movements were shallow, and he quickly let go of Bai Ze, his eyes were as black as ink, and his voice could not hear the slightest emotion. "Come here again at this time tomorrow and prove your innocence to me."
