Chuncao didn't dare to disobey her own lady's wishes, so she could only stare at the bag in the lady's hand reluctantly, and then returned to her room.
After Chunxiang left, Xia Liang called out the secret guard, gave him the bag, and asked him to deliver the firefly to the master immediately.
In fact, when Xia Liang was catching these fireflies, the hidden guard had been watching them all the time, and even secretly muttered in his heart that Miss Xia was not dignified at all, and she didn't look like a lady.
Actually catching bugs to play.
But, unexpectedly, the firefly caught was originally for His Majesty!
When the dark guard took it over, he glanced at Xia Liang with a slightly strange look, and asked for the first time, "No letter?"
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Xia Liang paused, turned around and went back to the room, quickly picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and handed them to the secret guard.
The secret guard also knew Xia Liang's position in his Majesty's heart in the past few days, so he didn't dare to delay at all what she gave.
Even though it was late tonight, maybe His Majesty might be asleep, but after thinking about it, he still rushed towards the palace.
In fact, Bai Lijue did not fall asleep, but stayed in the bedroom, watching some news collected by the dark guards in the past few days.
These news are all related to some personal entanglements and little-known secrets of important officials in the court, and among them, Xia Yuanzheng's is included.
Bailijue is a person with a strong desire to control, not to mention that as a young emperor, he is full of ambition and ambition. Naturally, he hopes to expand the territory, work hard, achieve a peaceful and prosperous world, and become a generation of Mingjun in his lifetime. .
Therefore, in the first year of his ascension to the throne, he personally established a faction that was only loyal to him—the Dark Pavilion, to investigate various news for him, and to control the movement of the entire imperial city in his own hands.
As an emperor, he has always been in control of the balance. He does not want the ministers to be peaceful, but to have all kinds of disputes and check each other, which is the way to balance.
Besides, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as an official has the ability, even if he really does some trivial things like greed for money, even if Bailijue knows about it, he will choose to turn a blind eye If you close your eyes, nothing will happen to them.
However, there is only one thing that will not be tolerated no matter what, and that is - collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!
Before meeting Xia Liang, Bai Lijue got the news from the hidden guard that Xia Yuanzheng and Bai Lixi, Prince Rui, were getting very close recently, and the officials who came and went in the past few days were all people who were relatively close to Prince Rui .
This unusual behavior naturally caught Baili Jue's attention.
Therefore, when an enemy spy was ambushing, Baili Jue would stop by to have a look.
Another point is that the real owner of Xiannvfang is actually Baili Jue, so he can have a more comprehensive control over some news.
If he hadn't met Xia Liang, even if Bai Lijue cared about Xia Yuanzheng's affairs, he wouldn't put much energy into it. Once it was found out that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, even if he didn't cause any harm, even if he did. The most important thing is that he was framed, and Baili Jue would not let him off lightly.
Even if his life is spared, dismissal is inevitable.
However, now, Xia Liang told him this matter and entrusted him with it. In addition, Xia Liang's identity and his thoughts about Xia Liang made Bai Lijue have different thoughts.
If he wants to accept Xia Liang as his concubine in the future, then nothing will happen to Xia Yuanzheng, he cannot let Xia Liang become the daughter of a criminal minister.
Bai Lijue himself began to gradually realize that now, when he was thinking about problems, he had placed Xia Liang in a very important position, and would start to plan for her, and even think in the long run.
He wanted Xia Liang to belong to him, not to be his servant as he said, nor to be a random beauty without status.
He had already placed Xia Liang in a completely equal position in his heart, and even thought that if she was really Xia Yuanzheng's daughter and not an enemy spy, he would make her his wife and the queen of Sun Yao Kingdom.
Bai Lijue sneered at the thing in his hand, and felt that he was a little crazy. He obviously didn't believe in that woman at all in his heart, and he was clearly trying to reject and accept her existence intellectually.
However, it has only been three days, and he can't help but start thinking about marrying her as his queen.
It's crazy.
Bai Lijue got up from the desk and was about to take a bath to rest. At this time, Lou Feng, the head of the secret guard, came to see him, saying that the subordinate who monitored Xia Liang had something important to report.
When Bai Lijue heard the news, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that something had happened to Xia Liang, and he was a little flustered. He immediately shouted anxiously at the door, "Get him in."
The hidden guard hurried into the bedroom after hearing this, and was about to kneel down to salute, when Bailijue yelled at him impatiently, "Say it quickly! What's wrong? But what happened to her?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Xia is fine. She asked her subordinates to give these things to His Majesty, so, this subordinate..." The hidden guard took out the bag in his hand and handed it to Bailijue while speaking.
When Bai Lijue heard him say that Xia Liang was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in the mood to be annoyed that he overreacted. Instead, he looked at the bag in the dark guard's hand, frowned, and asked,
"What's this?"
"It's filled with fireflies." The dark guard lowered his head and replied.
"Fireflies?" Bailijue's voice was slightly raised, and the surprise could not be concealed in his tone.
"Miss Xia grabbed it with her own hands and said she was going to give it to His Majesty. Here is a letter." The dark guard said, then took out another letter from his pocket and handed it to Bailijue.
Bailijue looked at the bag in a delicate mood, paused for a moment, then took the letter from the hidden guard, opened it eagerly, and saw that it said,
Master, the firefly is for you. I heard that it would be nice to put them in the tent, I hope you like it. Every dot of light represents my love and miss for you.
I want to see your summer cool.
It's not those obscene words/sentences before, simple words, without much enthusiasm, but Bai Lijue's heart became hot when he saw it, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly .
"Go down." Baili Jue put the letter in his arms, took the bag from the hidden guard, and said.
"Yes." The dark guard bowed his head in agreement, turned around and retreated.
"You did a good job." Baili Jue said again.
"This is the duty of the subordinate." Hearing this, the dark guard immediately stopped, knelt down and said faithfully.
"Yes." Bai Lijue responded, and said, "Protect her well and don't let her get hurt."
"Obey!" The dark guard said immediately, and at the same time, in his heart, he raised Xia Liang's position again and again, knowing that His Majesty's attitude had changed somewhat.
