After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

Han Yucheng temporarily blocked the news of Emperor Longqing's death in the palace, while Bai Jinfu was imprisoned in Xiyuan, cut off all contact with the outside world, so naturally he could not hear the news of the emperor's death.

Fang Shi, as King Xi's concubine, was also escorted to Xiyuan. At night, Bai Jinfu asked the guards at the gate to see Fang Shi. After asking for instructions, bring Fang Shi to meet Bai Jinfu.

"His Royal Highness, the person you want is brought to you." A guard opened the door, greeted Bai Jinfu graciously, and after leading Fang in, he graciously helped close the door.

"My lord..." Fang walked in timidly, raised her head and found Bai Jinfu who was sitting in the room, without saying a word, she knelt down with a plop, kowtowing to Bai Jinfu non-stop.

Before Bai Jinfu could stop it, Fang had already kowtowed several times, a cut was cut on his forehead, and bright red blood flowed down the corner of his forehead, Bai Jinfu frowned, and said softly: "That's enough , I didn’t come to ask you to kowtow to me, I’m not dead yet.”

Fang stopped kowtowing, but still lying on the ground did not dare to raise her head to face Bai Jinfu, sobbing softly: "My lord, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything about it, but they used the lives of my family members to force me, it's not that I want to betray you!" Your……"

In fact, Bai Jinfu already had the answer in his heart, and asked blankly, "Did Han Yucheng force you to do this?"

Fang nodded.

Bai Jin pulled his lower lip knowingly, and asked again: "How did he know that you were not pregnant? Did you tell him?"

Fang raised her head hurriedly, shook her head and waved her hands, denying repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't say that! My lord is clear, I never thought of betraying you. I can swear that I never sent any news to the prime minister. Otherwise, let me die badly!"

Bai Jinfu lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and instead of pursuing the truth about this matter, he asked instead: "How much did you tell Han Yucheng what you know?"

Fang said without hesitation: "The prime minister just asked the concubine to admit that she was not pregnant in front of the emperor, but did not ask about other matters, so naturally the concubine did not say anything."

Bai Jinfu looked at Fang Shi, suspiciously said: "You didn't tell him about me and Marquis Ning'an?"

Fang denied it, "Absolutely not!"

Bai Jinfu slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise, and thought to himself, Han Yucheng didn't ask Fang about anything else, but since Han Yucheng had a way to know that he let Fang pretend to be pregnant, would he really treat him? Know nothing about Jing Yu's "secret communication"?

Bai Jin waved his hands, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."

Fang was already prepared to be scolded or even beaten when she came over. After all, she betrayed King Xi and caused King Xi to be imprisoned, but she didn't expect that Bai Jinfu didn't say a word of blame to her, which made her feel even worse. Ashamed, she knelt down and crawled towards Bai Jinfu, crying: "My lord, it was my concubine who harmed you. My lord is so kind to me, but I betrayed you for my own sake. I really don't deserve to be a man, my lord. If you are angry, take my life!"

"What do I want your life for?" Bai Jinfu thought it was funny, and chuckled, "Okay, don't cry, I don't blame you."

Fang wiped away tears, looked at Bai Jinfu in disbelief, "Why?"

"You obeyed Han Yucheng's order to protect your family, what's your crime?" Bai Jinfu said with a flat expression, "If I were you, I might do the same, besides, you are just a person with no rights and no rights." You are a weak female stream, but the other party is a prime minister with power over the court, you have no other choice but to listen to him, so I won't blame you."

Fang looked at Bai Jinfu gratefully and moved, and murmured: "My lord..."

Bai Jinfu stood up and walked into the house. The voice came from inside, "Come on, you have helped Han Yucheng finish what he asked you to do. I think he will never make things difficult for you again. Leave here , Go and reunite with your family and have a good time.”

Fang knew it was useless to talk too much at this moment, so she kowtowed to Bai Jinfu's back for the last time, "Your Highness, take care." After speaking, she stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Bai Jinfu spent the whole night alone in Xiyuan. Outside the turmoil, he slept like a peaceful sleeper, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him. When he woke up the next morning, he was having breakfast , The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a tall figure walked in.

"These breakfasts are specially prepared by the minister's dining room for His Highness. How did His Highness use them?"

Bai Jinfu heard that the person who came in was Han Yucheng, without raising his head, he unhurriedly put a steamed emerald dumpling into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and then said: "It's still good."

"Your Highness, as long as you like it." Han Yucheng went to sit down opposite Bai Jinfu, "Is it boring for His Highness to eat alone? Why don't you come and eat with Your Highness?"

"I don't think so." Bai Jinfu raised his eyelids, gave Han Yucheng a look of "you don't deserve it", and then curled his lips slightly sarcastically, "But if Han Xiang wants to serve my king, I can give it to you." Your opportunity to be courteous."

Facing Bai Jinfu's deliberate humiliation, Han Yucheng was not annoyed. He picked up the chopsticks on the table and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will serve His Highness to eat. What would His Highness want to eat?"

Bai Jinfu suddenly slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, "I'm full, I'm full just by looking at you."

If it were another person, how could Han Yucheng endure such a moody temper, but the target was Bai Jinfu, so Han Yucheng could only put down his chopsticks, and asked with a rare good temper: "What's wrong, Your Highness, but the minister is angry. ?”

"Han Yucheng, there's no need to act again, right?" Bai Jin crossed his arms and said with a sneering expression, "Isn't it all your fault that I'm locked up here now? While pretending to help me , while not forgetting to please the Lie Wang, you will have both ways, a heart and two preparations?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood this minister. Your allegiance has always been to His Royal Highness alone." Han Yucheng hooked his lips, casually turned the white jade wrench on his left thumb twice, and said, "Actually, my minister came here today. There is one thing to let His Highness know."

Bai Jinfu snorted coldly, "What's the matter?"

"The emperor passed away last night." Han Yucheng's tone was understated, as if it was not the king of a country who died, but a cat or a dog on the side of the road.

Bai Jinfu slightly raised his eyebrows, the old man is dead?So fast?

Bai Jinfu was dubious, and asked tentatively: "The emperor passed away, why didn't I hear anything?"

"Because I blocked the news, people outside don't know about it for the time being." Han Yucheng calmly said, "When the emperor passed away, only the minister was there, so only the minister knew the emperor's last words."

Bai Jinfu stared at Han Yucheng for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, "Wouldn't it be up to you to decide who will be the new king?"

Han Yucheng said to himself, "Not bad."

Bai Jinfu sneered, "How can you guarantee that civil and military officials will listen to you?"

Han Yucheng's eyes flickered: "I naturally have my way."

Bai Jinfu was silent for a while, then put down his arms and leaned back on the back of the chair, "Talk about your conditions."

"Your Highness is refreshing." Han Yucheng clapped his hands and said approvingly, "Actually, I only have one condition, as long as Your Highness agrees to the list of appointments and removals of officials in my hand, then I will announce to the world that the last emperor's last words, I will make you my Majesty A Great Liu Monarch."

After all, Han Yucheng took out a memorial book from his sleeve and put it on the side of Bai Jin's armrest. Bai Jinfu picked up the memorial book and opened it. On the list of officials appointed and dismissed, all those dismissed were Han Yucheng's political enemies. And those appointed are all his henchmen. If he agrees to the appointment and dismissal on this list, it means that the imperial power will be emptied, the royal family is an empty shell, and the emperor is just a puppet. Han Yucheng has the final say on everything!

After reading the list, Bai Jinfu's expression darkened immediately, he slapped the notebook on the table, looked at Han Yucheng coldly and said, "Then what if I don't agree?"

"Your Highness has no other choice." Han Yucheng's expression was half a smile, looking at Bai Jinfu's eyes, as if admiring a canary that was about to be locked in a golden cage carefully crafted by him, "If you don't want to I will spend the rest of my life here, so I can only choose to agree to my request. Your Highness, besides me, there is no one else who can help you now, including Marquis Ning'an in the capital. Yu, because at this moment, I am afraid he is too busy to take care of himself."

Bai Jinfu's eyes widened, he slapped the table angrily, pointed at Han Yucheng and said, "What did you do to Jing Yu again?!"

Han Yucheng stood still, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him, because I'm not the only one who wants him to die."

Bai Jinfu clasped his hands tightly, and suddenly swept all the dishes on the table to the ground, glared at Han Yucheng and gritted his teeth, "Han Yucheng, you finally showed your fox tail, first let Ji Fengyao betray me, and then want to Get rid of Jing Yu, and cut off all the benefits around me one by one, so that I can go to a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness. By the way, Jiang Shuheng's death should be your conspiracy, because you are afraid of the military power in his hands. You have carefully designed the situation today, anyway, whoever becomes the emperor is now your decision, so why not become the emperor yourself!"

Facing Bai Jinfu's questioning, Han Yucheng had no intention of refuting at all, stood up and looked at Bai Jinfu at a distance of a table: "I didn't want to do things so badly, but who told you If you are so disobedient, you must challenge my bottom line again and again. As long as you obey me obediently in the future, I will guarantee you a safe seat in this dragon chair, and I can forget about the things you and Jing Yu did."

Bai Jin raised his chin, stared at him proudly, and said word by word: "You, dream, dream."

Han Yucheng's face was condensed, "You have no choice."

"You're wrong, at worst, you have to die. If you want me to be your puppet, at your mercy, then I'd rather die!" Bai Jinfu sneered twice, feeling relieved when he saw Han Yucheng's finally irritated face "But don't worry, I won't die right now, because it's not yet decided who will win until the last moment!"
