Bai Yao didn't realize it for a while, she stared at Xiao Huai'an in a daze, and murmured repeatedly: "Be demoted to a commoner?"
"Yes. Changmin has been thrown into limbo, and Xiao Huaining has been sent to Yeting." Xiao Huaian explained patiently, but his eyes darkened for a moment when Xiao Huaining was mentioned.
He couldn't understand more clearly in his heart that his good father only made up his mind to punish Xiao Huaining when he knew that Xiao Huaining was not his own son.
And this punishment is limited to being locked up in the Ye Court, which is only for the deposed king or clan relatives.
It's just that he was imprisoned for a lifetime, but his father's heart softened, and his heart softened towards Xiao Huaining who had called him his father for more than [-] years.
Or maybe his father just didn't want to bear the reputation of killing his sons.
Bai Yao didn't know that Xiao Huaian had thought so much for just a moment. He rested his hands on Xiao Huaian's ears, his jet-black hair slid down his shoulders, and for a moment he was in a trance and couldn't react to what he heard.
He thought that the vengeance and grievances that he would never be able to avenge in his entire life were just solved by Xiao Huai'an?
He himself knew how difficult this matter was, and he never thought of asking Xiao Huaian for help. After all, the queen is pregnant with a son, but not the prince. Once such a scandal breaks out, not only will he not be able to help him avenge, he will even be unable to protect himself.
As men, being cuckolded is really embarrassing when you think about it, and it would be even more embarrassing if you were stabbed out by outsiders.
However, Xiao Huaian did it, fulfilling his unspoken long-cherished wish. It was as if the boulder that had been pressing on my heart had been removed, and after a relief, all that was left was exhaustion, sadness and grief.
"Don't cry."
Wiping the teardrops from her tender face with calloused fingertips, Xiao Huaian sighed, and gently hugged Bai Yao into his arms, "I told you this to make you happy, not to trick you. crying."
Hearing what Xiao Huaian said, Bai Yao raised her hand and realized that she had burst into tears.
Xiao Huaian felt that the underwear on his chest was already wet. The tears were obviously warm, but they were like a fire, burning his heart under the skin and bones.
The thread in his heart was pulled by Bai Yao, sour and astringent, he rested his chin on the top of Bai Yao's hair, looked at the bed curtain above his head, but his eyes were empty and out of focus.
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can only suffer this night. I will help you with the rest. Baby just needs you to remember that you have me, and I will always be by your side in the future."
It was clearly a comforting promise, but it warmly defeated Bai Yao's emotions. He pressed his head firmly to Xiao Huai'an's heart, clutched his silk inner garment with both hands, and wailed like a collapse.
The voice is distressed, as if to vent all the forbearance, grievance, sadness, etc. that I have carried all these years alone.
Xiao Huaian closed his eyes, covered the back of Bai Yao's head with his big hands, and said softly, "Cry baby, sleep when you're tired, and everything will be over."
Tired of crying, Bai Yao lay down in Xiao Huai'an's arms and fell asleep, and slept until dusk.
He didn't know that during the period of time when he fell asleep, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the court.
Emperor Yuanhe fell ill in bed, and King Yong'an supervised the country on his behalf. He had full authority to handle all matters and did not need to report them.
Emperor Yuanhe also issued three imperial decrees one after another, which caused the entire court to explode.
The queen advocates family sensitivity, women's morals are bad, she murders noble concubines, choleras the court, and after being abolished immediately, she is demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in the cold palace forever, not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after death, and not to enjoy sacrifices and offerings.
King Jianning was cruel and immoral, despised the king's law, killed innocent people for fun, demoted him to common people, and imprisoned Yeting.
The right minister advocated Yuan Hao, formed a party for personal gain, embezzled soldiers and horses, framed loyal ministers, and was temporarily put on death row pending trial.
Of course, Bai Yao didn't know about this. He doesn't have the energy to care about these now. Who made him wake up with a high fever.
Xiao Huaian, who took the official documents back to the bedroom and was correcting by Bai Yao's side, saw the hot and red Bai Yao get out of the quilt.
Xiao Huaian put his hand on Bai Yao's forehead, his whole face darkened, and he yelled loudly for Wen Lin to carry the doctor over.
Bai Yao leaned against Xiao Huaian's arms dizzily, and heard Doctor Wang say that he had a high fever caused by great joy and sorrow, and that he would be fine after drinking some medicine.
Even if Wang Dada said so, Xiao Huai'an's face did not clear up.
He took the medicine from Babao with a blank expression, then drove Babao and others out with a blank expression, and then gave Bai Yao the medicine with a blank expression.
Bai Yao drank a spoonful of medicine with a bitter face, his whole face was pulled together, his small paws pulled the sleeve of the navy blue sleeve at hand, his already soft voice softened a little due to the heat.
"Junzhu, are you angry? It's my fault, I didn't control my emotions well. Are you busy, then go ahead and let Sister Daman take care of me." After finishing speaking, she said obediently Blinked.
The expression on Xiao Huaian's face didn't clear up at all, and he fed another spoonful of medicine into Bai Yao's mouth before saying, "It's my fault, I shouldn't make you cry like that."
Bai Yao's expression was blank, and she realized that this person was blaming herself, the corners of her mouth could not help but raise a brilliant arc, her heart was as sweet as honey, and even the medicine she drank didn't feel bitter anymore.
As soon as the medicine here was finished, Xiao Huaian turned back and put the bowl on the small table. Bai Yao jumped out of the quilt like a small cannonball, and hit Xiao Huaian's arms.
Before Bai Yao's coquettish show was over, Xiao Huaian grabbed Bai Yao's collar and stuffed Bai Yao back into the quilt, and wrapped two layers of quilt inside and out, only showing a small head.
After wrapping it up, Xiao Huaian scolded lightly: "What's the matter! It's freezing again!"
Bai Yao held her mouth in grievance, and said delicately: "I want to hug~"
Xiao Huaian hugged through the thick quilt, straightened up, felt that it was not thick enough, and another quilt was enough to press it on.
Bai Yao felt that she was about to die from being crushed by the mountain of quilts, so she accused angrily, "Junzhu, why do I think you don't want to hug me at all, no matter how perfunctory you are?"
It may be that when a person is sick, his heart disease has gone, so he is more delicate.
Xiao Huai'an didn't find it annoying, on the contrary, he found it very pleasing. He leaned down and kissed Bai Yao's hot forehead, his voice was hoarse, "Be good, I don't want to use other methods to cool you down."
"?" Bai Yao tilted her head, not understanding.
But seeing Xiao Huaian's deep green eyes, I understand! He grabbed the quilt to cover his head, and his angry voice came out from under the quilt.
"Ahh! How do you think about that kind of thing!"
Xiao Huaian pulled Bai Yao's head out of the quilt with his hands, took a picture album and handed it to him, "Look at the picture book before going to sleep, I slept too much today, and I will have a headache if I sleep again."
Bai Yao obediently took the picture album, and then looked at the small table next to the bed, which was piled up like a mountain, crooked and squinting as if it was about to fall down.
"Junzhu still has a lot of work to do, or I'll help you hand over the paperwork."
When Xiao Huaian heard this, he felt that the idea was very good, so he took the picture album out of Bai Yao's hand and threw it aside. Holding a stack of notebooks that Babao had sorted out just now, she sat down next to Bai Yao.
Bai Yao recovered from her illness in two or three days, and Xiao Huaian started not seeing anyone every two or three days. After all, everything was on his shoulders, even with the help of Yan Xiang and Xiao Huaiyu, he was still too busy to get away.
Because of Bai Yao's illness, Xiao Huaian did not go to the palace to attend to the sick.
On this day, Xiao Huaian went straight to Pudu Temple after leaving court. Yuan Ren had been waiting in the Zen room early on, and the steaming tea had already been brewed on the small table in front of him.
He raised his eyes calmly to look at Xiao Huai'an who walked in against the light, and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, "The monk watches the sky at night, and knows that there must be a distinguished guest today. Sure enough, King Yong'an is here."
"Heh!" Xiao Huaian sat cross-legged on the futon, sneered and said: "Gaze at the sky at night? Didn't the master's shadow guard tell you that the master is coming?"
Yuan Ren was not embarrassed when he was exposed, he took a sip of tea from the teacup calmly, looking like an outsider.
Xiao Huaian pinched the center of his brows, he was really tired just now in the court hall with those old officials who pretended to be snakes.
"Junzhu, are you sure you want to make that move?" Yuan Ren asked with golden eyes on Xiao Huaian's face.
Xiao Huai'an put down his hands, looked into Yuan Ren's eyes, the corners of his lips were slowly hooked, wanton and unrestrained, he propped his chin with one hand, and he looked more like a romantic celebrity.
"Of course, you know that what I want is rights. If you can get rights directly without paying the corresponding price, why not do it."
"How can Junzhu guarantee that the chess pieces in his hand will always be obedient?" Yuan Ren's tone was light, but the question was sharp.
"I am confident that I have the ability to manipulate people's hearts." Xiao Huaian picked up the rough pottery painted teacup in front of him to play with, and said in a tone of complete indifference.
Yuan Ren lowered his head and smiled softly, shook his head slowly, and said: "The monk is really crazy. Instead of thinking about what kind of misfortune Junzhu will suffer in the future, it is better to worry about the chess pieces in Junzhu's hands. It looks like I really don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune.”
"Of course it's lucky, at least he can live, isn't he a life of glory and wealth?" Although Xiao Huaian's voice still sounded very gentle, but carefully distinguishing could hear the coldness inside.
"Amitabha. If that's all, then he is very lucky." Yuan Ren also smiled, a compassionate smile, and his golden eyes were frozen cold.
"Whenever you use a monk, Junzhu can just open his mouth." Yuan Ren folded his hands together and said the Buddha's name.
"Soon." Xiao Huaian's eyes were deep and cold, and the smile on his lips was cold. The coldness in his voice could be heard this time, "I'll understand everything soon."
"The monk replaces wine with tea, and wish Junzhu all wishes come true in advance." Yuan Ren picked up the teacup and respected Xiao Huaian.
Xiao Huaian picked up the teacup, licked Yuan Ren's teacup lightly, raised his head, and drank a bowl of bitter tea.
"Finally, Yaoyao is able to marry my master. When the time comes, my master will invite you to a wedding wine."
Yuan Ren couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "The monk can't drink alcohol, what can I ask the monk to do!"
"Look at it~" Xiao Huaian laughed.
