Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Even Bai Qingning and Concubine Yun, who were imprisoned in the basement of Yun Garden, knew the news that Xiao Zuochen was granted marriage.

Xiao Zuoming was in a good mood after the morning court session, so he asked Mu Dai to carry the food box to the basement of Yunyuan.

"I thought you would include her in your harem?"

As soon as Bai Qingning saw Xiao Zuoming coming in, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Xiao Zuoming didn't mind it.

"I know it, no one knows me better than the Queen! But bringing her into the harem is likely to cause criticism. Instead of doing that, it is better to transfer the criticism to Xiao Zuochen. And don't be fooled by the fact that they pretend to be relatives to the outside world. In the final analysis, Wei Yang is just using Xiao Zuochen."

"How do you know that they are using Xiao Zuochen instead of you?"

When Xiao Zuoming heard this, he looked at Bai Qingning with a serious face, then he laughed and looked at Bai Qingning with a joking face.

"Is the Queen jealous?"

Bai Qingning became furious instantly and was about to scold Xiao Zuoming, but then she saw him take out a plate of delicious meat from the food box.

"Queen, I guess you haven't had any good food recently. Come, try this meat."

Bai Qingning really wanted to scold Xiao Zuoming. Her daily meals were all arranged by Xiao Zuoming. Didn't he know why the food was not good? Now he was pretending to be kind!

But even if Bai Qingning knew that Xiao Zuoming was pretending, Xiao Zuoming deliberately pretended in front of her. After all, only by knowingly doing so could he gradually destroy her ego.

Sure enough, Bai Qingning, who hadn't had a good meal for a few days, finally stopped eating under the temptation of a plate of meat. Bai Qingning kept staring at the meat in Xiao Zuoming's chopsticks, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Want to eat?"

Bai Qingning glanced at Xiao Zuoming awkwardly. It would be a lie to say she didn't want to eat, but when she saw Xiao Zuoming's smug expression, she felt nauseous.

Xiao Zuoming saw Bai Qingning looking away and knew that she was trying to hold back from eating. But Xiao Zuoming would not let her succeed. He personally put a piece of meat into the bowl beside her bed, saying that he was thinking about her.

"Next time, ask them to put a table for you. Look, the light during the day falls right in the middle, and the food looks very appetizing."

Xiao Zuoming picked up the bowl containing the meat and chopsticks and handed them to Bai Qingning's mouth, but Bai Qingning still did not reach out to take it.

"What can you do? To me, it's just that you ate a few less pieces of meat. It can't stop me from doing anything."

As Xiao Zuoming spoke, he placed the bowl and chopsticks on his left hand, and as if to reach out to Bai Qingning with his right hand.

Bai Qingning reacted instantly and knocked away Xiao Zuoming's outstretched hand. But Xiao Zuoming didn't care and continued to speak.

"But for you, these pieces of meat may be the best food you can eat in the past few days."

After Xiao Zuoming finished speaking, he handed the bowl and chopsticks to Bai Qingning again.

Bai Qingning was conflicted. She felt that if she submitted to Xiao Zuoming's tyranny, Concubine Yun would hate her when she woke up. But what Xiao Zuoming said was indeed the truth. The food was in front of her, and it would not make any difference to Xiao Zuoming whether she ate it or not. Instead, she would be the only one who felt uncomfortable.

pop~

Finally, the last string that kept Bai Qingning rational broke. She no longer hesitated, and directly reached out to grab the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Xiao Zuoming, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Indeed, she had nothing left to lose, and she only hoped that she could live a good life in the days ahead.

When Xiao Zuoming saw that she was finally willing to eat, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Be good, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry. As long as you are obedient from now on, you can have delicious food for every meal."

Bai Qingning didn't reply, but Xiao Zuoming didn't care. What he wanted was to have everything in his own hands.

......

Of course, it wasn't just Xiao Zuochen and Bai Qingning who had bad luck. The Prince of Qing, who was ordered to guard the mausoleum, was not much better off.

On the day when Xiao Zuoming proposed guarding the mausoleum in front of all the ministers, he sent the imperial edict to Xiao Zuoqing's house, asking them to pack up for one night and set out the next day. He even sent the imperial guards to guard the prince's house to prevent them from running away.

The imperial mausoleum is far away in Beiguan. As for why it was built in Beiguan? Emperor Mingren never understood, but successive emperors never asked to move the mausoleum. Because they knew that the Shenyin Pavilion in Beiguan was not only responsible for helping the emperor and being the emperor's right-hand man, but also had an invisible mission to guard the mausoleum!

Because the national destiny of Tai'an is hidden in the imperial tomb.

But Xiao Zuoqing, who was on his way to Beiguan, was not so lucky.

Baili Qing has been talking about him since she started packing her bags before departure.

"You had to be in collusion with Concubine Yun in the first place. Now Concubine Yun has fallen, and none of the promises she made to you have come true.

The point is that he was pulled down by his own son. If Xiao Zuochen had succeeded to the throne, it would have been fine. You had been busy with him for so long before, and then you helped Concubine Yun for so long, but in the end, the third prince got the advantage. He could become the crown prince just because he was stupid and short-sighted. Why should you be the guard of the mausoleum?

Look at you now, you are such a loser! Why did I marry you in the first place!? "

The third prince became the crown prince, but Xiao Zuoqing was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. He was already in a bad mood, and Baili Qing ignored his dignity as a man and kept mocking him, which made Xiao Zuoqing unbearable. However, for the sake of Master Baili's face, he chose to remain silent.

Later, they boarded the carriage and headed north towards the North Gate, with the imperial guards following them. The imperial guards were euphemistically sent by the prince to protect them, but in fact they were there to monitor them and prevent them from escaping halfway.

Of course, it was not only the imperial guards who prevented them from escaping, but also their son Xiao Nianqing. Because originally the crown prince ordered the Qing family to guard the imperial mausoleum, but later, for some unknown reason, when they set out, they were asked to leave Xiao Nianqing behind. He was raised in the palace and taught by the imperial tutor himself.

Originally Baili Qing disagreed, but the prince said that Master Baili would teach her personally, and this reason left her with no other choice.

So along the way, without her son by her side, Baili Qing began to complain about Xiao Zuoqing again. In the end, it was just that he had no ability and didn't know how to go with the flow. As a man, he didn't have any ability to show off.

After talking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zuoqing finally couldn't bear it anymore. However, he didn't say anything unpleasant, he just said something to Baili Qing.

"You weren't like this before."

This sentence made Baili Qing completely stunned. She didn't even realize that she had become as chattering as a street shrew. But she was really unwilling to admit that she was ugly now.

"I was different from now because I accepted your ordinariness. Although ordinary, your life was stable. But later, you wanted to compete with them. If you want to compete, you must win. Otherwise, how can we survive!?"

Baili Qing's words silenced Xiao Zuoqing. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Isn't this exactly how he is living now?

"never mind."

Xiao Zuoqing waved his hand and left only two words.

"Forget it?"

Baili Qing was puzzled, but Xiao Zuoqing stopped talking, leaving Baili Qing alone, who was going crazy.
