Chapter 19
In the resplendent palace, a tall man was sitting in the middle, with his hands on his desk, looking intently at the memorial in front of him.And beside his left hand, there is still a stack of bamboo slips half a foot high.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
Hearing the knock on the door from outside, the man continued to concentrate on correcting the memorial without raising his head.It wasn't until a while later that the man slowly put the brush on the inkstone and replied, "Come in." The voice was low and magnetic.
The person outside gently pushed the door open and walked in, then carefully closed the door gently.After finishing all this, he bowed his body and walked towards the man in front of the desk with small steps.
After walking three feet in front of the other party and standing still, the person who came came lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the emperor's list posted earlier has been found. There is news from Bai Zhuncheng that it is in a small town on the border. I found it, and it’s being sent to the imperial city now, it’s just…”
Speaking of this, Eunuch Mo quietly raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, only to find that the man was squinting his eyes and listening, leaning on the dragon chair with his chin resting on his hands, looking extremely lazy, as if he was not listening to what he said just now.
Is the emperor asleep?Eunuch Mo was a little uncertain, so he asked, "Your Majesty?"
The man opened his eyes impatiently, "Continue."
A voice mixed with a little anger came from the top of his head, and Eunuch Mo shuddered, and hurriedly said: "It is said that the white fox has turned into a human form, but it still has fox ears and a tail. Your Majesty, do you want it for safety? Ask the national teacher... to go?"
Eunuch Mo didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but the man looked at him too coldly at this moment, as if he was looking at a dead object.
"Pfft" the man chuckled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "National teacher? I'm afraid the national teacher has already left. Then what's the point of asking me now?"
When the facts were confirmed, Eunuch Mo lowered his head in a panic and didn't dare to look at the man again, but his feet couldn't support his heavy body. "Plop" and knelt down.
Because of subconscious fear, he begged for mercy: "The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down, the emperor calms down..."
No one knew that even a few years ago, the man at the desk was still a weak and deceitful puppet who could be manipulated by others.
But now, when he has gradually seen the man's thunderous methods, a man can make people feel fear from the bottom of his heart with just one look.Such a change, Eunuch Mo could not have imagined, the national teacher could not have imagined, I am afraid... no one could have imagined.
Your majesty... really grown up.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the man finally stopped leaning lazily on the dragon chair.Instead, get up slowly.With his hands behind his back, he walked unhurriedly to Eunuch Mo's side.
Feeling shrouded in the shadow in front of him, Eunuch Mo immediately stopped his movements, raised his head and looked at the emperor gratefully.
He just knew it, he just knew it.Although the emperor has changed a lot now, the essential kindness will not change.After all, I have been by his side since I was a child. At this moment, the emperor must not have the heart to let me continue to kneel down.
But the next moment, what the man said made Eunuch Mo's fantasy shattered in an instant.
"Since you like kneeling and begging for mercy so much, then kneel all night. Remember, don't stop your voice and don't move your posture. Otherwise...I don't mind throwing away a...disobedient...dog!"
After finishing speaking, the man walked out of the palace without looking back, leaving only Eunuch Mo in a daze.
After a while, he bowed his head and accepted the fact.
It has changed, everything has changed.
The emperor...has changed!
...
The palace here is raging with wind and clouds, but at the same time, it is another scene in Wu Mingna.
At this moment, he was sitting on the bamboo mat, holding a glass of sake filled with transparent liquid in his hand.With the bright moonlight, he saw himself projected by the liquid in the cup.
It was a haggard and frightened face.
A gentle breeze blows from the depths of the bamboo forest, bringing the sound of the collision of bamboo leaves.
One or two strands of hair were blown across the cheeks by the wind, and the hem of the clothes was also lifted by the wind.The wide sleeves fluttered with the wind, making his figure a bit thin at the moment.
"You..." He opened his thin lips slightly, and looked at the person in front of him asking a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "What does this mean?"
Ever since he was caught by the officials, he planned to face the worst result.
At that time, he had thought that the worst outcome would be to be drained of blood all over his body, and finally die.He can't even return to his own world anymore, and he can accept it if he really dies.
But now... since he was arrested, he has been offered food and drink.He puts on good clothes every day, eats delicious food, and even waits for the carriage when he is on the road.Wu Ming felt that this was not the treatment he deserved...
When I arrived at Baizhun City, I was brought into the woods by my servants. I thought they were finally going to make a move, but I didn't expect... the man in front of me just invited him to drink?Play the piano for him?
Now Wu Ming didn't understand even more.
The man in front of him was gentle and elegant, his long hair was held up by the jade hairpin, and he exuded a bookish air.Hearing this, his slender fingers left the strings, raised his head, smiled and looked at him with narrow peach eyes, with a focused and affectionate expression.
This glance, I'm afraid it can win the heart of the Huaichun girl.
It's a pity that Wu Ming is not a girl, and he is not pregnant, so he was seen with goosebumps all over his body, and even the tail on his back was blown out.
"My name is Bai Ye." The man opened his mouth, his tone became more and more gentle, as if he could come out with gentleness.
"Or" his fingertips inadvertently slid across the strings, bringing a burst of crisp notes.
"You can call me... He Chen." After Bai Ye finished speaking, he stopped talking.He looked at Wu Ming unblinkingly, not wanting to let go of any details.
Hearing this name, Wu Ming felt a ripple in his heart, as if he remembered something, but he seemed to remember nothing.He opened his mouth, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he didn't say a word.
There is no way, he 'forgot'.
Seeing Wu Ming's reaction, Bai Ye withdrew her probing gaze, lowering her eyes to cover up the disappointment in her midst.After a while, he stood up, still holding a glass of sake in his hand, and walked towards Wu Ming slowly.
"Hehe, it's okay, just call me Bai Ye." Bai Ye went straight to Wu Ming and sat down, explaining very patiently: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, I originally wanted them to invite you here For the treatment of the princess, the princess just needs a small bowl of white fox blood as medicine. After the matter is completed, Bai will be very grateful, and if there is any request, feel free to ask."
Hearing this, Wu Ming blinked in disbelief, and asked excitedly, "After that...can I go back?"
Bai Ye thought that Wu Ming's return was referring to the "mountain forest" where he lived, so he nodded and agreed without thinking.
Anyway, he is confident that before Bai Hanxiao returns to the forest after being cured, he will be able to fall in love with him like before.At that time, he can resign his position as a national teacher and find a place where there is no human habitation to live together with Hanxiao.
Although Xiaoxiao doesn't have the memories of the past, his essence won't change, will it?He will eventually fall in love with himself again, as long as... Let him get along with himself, let him understand himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye smiled more and more gently. He held up the quilt and walked around Wu Ming's right hand, which was also toasting, and said, "Now, I will toast you."
Seeing the posture of himself and Bai Ye at this moment, Wu Ming was shocked.
Boy, don't trick me!I also have common sense!Isn't this posture a special posture for drinking and drinking? ? ?Just because I'm a little fox from the mountains, you can't think I'm ignorant, okay?
But now, after all, there is something for others to ask, and it is impossible for Wu Ming to refuse to leave in a cool and unrestrained way.So I could only pretend to be ignorant, and asked: "I... I saw people toast like this before, isn't it a bit strange for us to toast like this?" Bar?
Who knows that Bai Ye blinked innocently after hearing this, and said with a puzzled face: "This is the custom when our friends from the Baigu country toast together, don't you want to be my friend from the Baigu country?"
Pack!Just keep pretending!Even the little fox is going to lie to you, so shameless!Wu Mingqiang resisted the twitching of his forehead, closed his eyes, and took a sip of the wine glass.
A glass of wine is a glass of wine, anyway, I don't know, I don't admit it, so it's not a glass of wine!
Following Wu Ming's movement of drinking, Bai Ye raised his head slightly, and poured the wine into his mouth in a gentle manner.When the cool liquid slowly slipped into his mouth, Bai Ye squinted his eyes, and licked his lips wet with a few drops of wine with satisfaction.
I got it, I finally got the cup of wine I've been wanting for a long time.
Great joy and satisfaction burst from his chest, and Bai Ye smiled softly in a dark place that Wu Ming couldn't see.
Neuropathy!Wu Ming looked at Bai Ye's appearance, and these three words suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although he despises this mentally handicapped system, Wu Ming still asks in his mind at this moment: "Is what that guy said true? As long as you bleed, you can go back?"
A certain 'retarded' system spread its hands and replied: "It's true, I didn't say that, as a system, I'm generally not allowed to lie...Why don't you believe me so much? Did you see that I lied to you before?"
Wu Ming keenly grasped the key point, "General?"
A certain 'mentally retarded' system: "If there is a host who wants to die, then it is a special case."
A '*' host: "..."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Wu Ming looked at Bai Ye more pleasingly, so he got up and bid farewell to Bai Ye.
Wu Ming got up, and Bai Ye also got up, his left hand was naturally placed beside Wu Ming to protect him, preventing him from being knocked by the edge of the table.With a gentle smile on Bai Ye's face, he said softly: "It's cold, I'll take you back to the house."
Wu Ming wanted to refuse, but found it troublesome, so he nodded his head as a promise.
On the way back to the house, Wu Ming asked the question he was most concerned about while walking: "How is Hu Ling?"
The system replied: "It's not very good, but I can save him. Do you want me to save him?"
Wu Ming couldn't believe it after hearing this: "Is it possible?" He didn't quite believe that the system would be so kind.
Sure enough, the next second, the system put forward a condition: "Okay, but I want you to do one thing..."
As the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing.If the system was helping him in vain, Wu Ming might still hesitate for a while, but now, after hearing the conditions proposed by the system, Wu Ming agreed without hesitation.
