The atmosphere in the palace inevitably became heavy after Emperor Yan became seriously ill.

The empresses and concubines in the palace kept their doors closed one by one, and they were strictly controlled by the empress. They were so tightly restrained, so they naturally understood something.She stayed in the palace even more peacefully, except for going to greet the queen every day, she never even left the house.

Without the laughter and squabbling of the palace people, the huge Yan Palace actually makes people feel a lot deserted for no reason.

Fortunately, this situation did not last too long.

After the beginning of spring, Emperor Yan's condition gradually improved.

However, the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a spinning thread.After all, he was already an old man, and his energy still couldn't keep up. He recovered from his illness very slowly, and he was unable to deal with the government affairs for a long time.

But when he was seriously ill before, he accumulated a lot of things, if he put some things on hold now, there would be big problems.

Therefore, after weighing this matter several times, what Emperor Yan had at hand, and all the rights at his hand - were all handed over to Bai Xuhua.

Naturally, the person who made these decisions on the surface was not Bai Xuhua, but the young prince, but almost everyone in Yandu knew that the person who was in charge of the power now was the current National Normal University people.

Bai Xuhua gained the greatest power, and it became easier for him to deal with certain matters.He does not have the position of moving Jing Xiuran, although Jing Xiuran's accumulated credit is enough for him to be promoted to another level, but now that he is promoted, it will inevitably cast a bad color.

——If Emperor Yan died and the crown prince succeeded, he would be promoted in one fell swoop. With all these merits, the subordinates would not dare to say anything.

Jing Xiuran reported all the great things about this trip. The Empress of Xiliang treated him very attentively at first, but then she became cold for some reason.

Although there are words passed down by the saintess, they are not very dedicated, and I don't know where they put their energy.

Jing Xiuran was extremely worried about this, but Bai Xuhua didn't feel it.He said: "It should be Ruan Suyu who made the move."

Jing Xiuran was waiting by his side at that time, if Bai Xuhua wanted to ask anything, just ask him directly.

Hearing Bai Xuhua's words, he asked, "What did you find?"

He treated Bai Xuhua with a lot of respect, restrained and polite, at most, when handing over something, the palms of the two would inevitably touch each other.

Bai Xuhua didn't take him seriously either, Ruan Suyu is no longer in Yan Country, Jing Xiuran's place is considered extremely safe, with him watching, there won't be any major problems.

He just lowered his eyes and said, "Her attitude has changed too quickly."

According to Jing Xiuran's description, the attitude of the Empress of Xiliang towards her changed overnight.Something else must have happened that day.

"I don't believe you can't see such an obvious thing."

Bai Xuhua put the booklet aside, took another book, unfolded it slowly, and said: "What happened at that time, let's just talk about it."

Jing Xiuran paused for a moment.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "I did notice something."

Now that he found out, he naturally went to find out.It was just a few rounds of investigations, but nothing was found. On the contrary, the empress became vigilant. When the empress called, the empress even took off her clothes, stood in front of him, and asked him——

Do you want to enter Xiliang Palace?

There was a smile in her eyes, bewitching and seductive, completely different from what Jing Xiuran felt before.

Even the voice is extremely hoarse.

She said: "I am very interested in the national teacher of Yan State, and I heard that my lord also has some thoughts on that national teacher. If my lord can lure the national teacher into my palace-you will do something to him, and so will I." I don't mind."

——But there is no need to tell this person about these things.

Jing Xiuran told the other things frankly, but only concealed them.After hearing what he said, Bai Xuhua had a vague idea and said, "Does the Xiliang Emperor have any heirs?"

"No," Jing Xiuran said, "but the empress has a younger sister, who is still young, but already has a child."

Bai Xuhua said: "During that time, what else happened, no matter it's big or small, you can tell me."

Jing Xiuran paused, thought for a moment, and said, "There is one thing."

At the time when the empress's red body was offering her favor to him, a court scandal happened in Xiliang Palace.

It is said that a male concubine of the Empress couldn't bear the loneliness, and turned out to have an affair with a maidservant next to the Empress.

That day, the empress went to rest at another male concubine, but unfortunately she met a black cat on the way, which made the empress feel unlucky, and didn't want to turn back, so she went to the male concubine who had an affair with the maid. , but unexpectedly happened to run into such a scandal.

The empress was furious, and not only killed the male concubine and maidservants, but also became suspicious and changed everyone around her.The incident was so serious that people outside the palace heard a few rumors.

Jing Xiuran didn't want to say it at first, and let such dirty things dirty Bai Xuhua's ears.But after thinking about it, he still didn't hide it and told the whole story.

After hearing what he said, Bai Xuhua showed a serious look on his face.He paused and asked. : "Did she change all the people around her?"

"The ones that are close to each other have been replaced."

Jing Xiuran said: "When I met the empress later, the maid serving behind her was different from the one I saw the first time."

"…………"

Bai Xuhua pondered for a moment, sighed for a long time, and said weakly: "Where is the maid who had an affair with the male concubine buried?"

Jing Xiuran paused for a moment, not quite understanding why Bai Xuhua asked such a question, but still replied: "It is said that the empress was furious, peeled off her face, fed it to the dogs...and then naked her. body, naked, and thrown directly into the mass grave."

The more Bai Xuhua listened, the more he felt that his guess was true.

——I am afraid that the empress of Xiliang is no longer the original empress at this moment.

Instead... She changed her face and replaced her with someone who pretended to occupy this position with her face and identity.

If he remembers correctly, in the original plot, the empress is clearly a very nostalgic character, otherwise, she would not want to keep Anli who really had a relationship with her beloved male concubine.

How could such a person get rid of all his cronies because of the fact that a maid was having an affair with a male concubine?

The reason for her loss was because of the adultery of the maids around her, or because she killed the original empress—afraid that people around her would notice something strange, so she simply killed all the people who were close to the original empress, so as not to leave behind. What about future troubles?

That "waitress" is probably not a waitress at all, but the real empress who was stabbed and stripped of her face.

Bai Xuhua's expression darkened, he didn't want to listen any more, he just sorted out the notebooks in his hand, put them aside, and frowned in thought.

"What did you think of?"

Jing Xiuran lowered his eyes, Bai Xuhua hadn't revealed his guess, so he could only guess by himself.At this moment, he saw that Bai Xuhua seemed to be suffering from a headache, so he got up and moved his position, half kneeling behind Bai Xuhua, leaned closer, and rubbed his temples.

Bai Xuhua froze for a while, he wanted to get up to avoid it, but felt that he didn't move, he just let Jing Xiuran massage him carefully, and said, "I never knew that you would be so skillful."

"I learned it from the maid before."

Jing Xiuran responded in a low voice, and he said, "I thought that a person like you wouldn't know how tired ordinary people are..."

But he never expected that he would also see Bai Xuhua having a headache from everything.

Bai Xuhua closed his eyes halfway, and he said: "I just recovered a little bit, the big sacrifice before..."

When he said this, he also paused, as if he was hesitating whether to say the next words or not.

Jing Xiuran seemed to have never seen his worries, and said, "So that's the case. Now, you are like a mortal, and you will be tired and achy?"

Bai Xuhua hesitated for a moment, but still humbly agreed.

He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his weakness at the moment, his brows were tightly frowned, but because his headache was relieved, he inevitably showed a little slack.

Jing Xiuran said: "If you feel uncomfortable, then call me and press it for you."

Bai Xuhua dodged slightly, stretched out his hand, signaled Jing Xiuran to stop, turned his head and frowned and said, "You should do other things with your time, how can you waste it on me?"

Jing Xiuran looked directly at him, shook his head slightly, and said softly, "You are the national teacher now."

"As a national teacher and assuming the duties at this moment, I should pay more attention to my body. The things on my body are not heavy, and most of them are with you. Wouldn't it be better for me to do these things. "

Bai Xuhua paused for a while.

I have to say——he actually felt a little bit moved.

The situation brought to him by that large-scale sacrifice has continued from then to now. Once he expends too much energy, he will not be able to bear it, and he will feel some headaches.

Although it doesn't hinder major events, if it can alleviate one or two, it will be a good thing after all.

Jing Xiuran saw that Bai Xuhua stopped and did not refuse, so he had a solid foundation in his heart. He half knelt on the ground, supported Bai Xuhua's knee with one hand, and told him to stretch out his legs, while saying: "It is you who want to refuse , try it first and then talk.”

He still spoke very calmly, but the movements under his hands were much faster, he had already removed Bai Xuhua's shoes and socks and pinched the soles of his feet.

It's almost like revealing some impatience.

For no reason, Bai Xuhua felt a little shame. He frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but considering his current situation, he still didn't say it.

Just follow Jing Xiuran's wishes, try to relax as much as possible, and tell him to rub the soles of his feet slowly.
