The reason why Xiao Mubai appeared in Chongde Hall was just to attract Gu Younian's attention, so as to buy time for Qiao Mozhi to regain control of the forbidden army in the palace.
Now, I have retired after my success.
Gu Younian was told everything that needed to be said, so naturally there was no need to stay in the palace.
Leave the rest to Liang Shaoxuan.
Xiao Mubai is now very tired of these trivial things, such as those who should be comforted, those who should be punished, those who should be retained, demoted, or promoted, and he doesn't want to hear a single word.
Qiao Mozhi saw his back turning and leaving, and whispered a few words to Liang Shaoxuan before chasing him out: "The king and grandpa are waiting for you in Linhua Hall."
Xiao Mubai looked at the scorching sun, Qiao Mozhi's figure fainted in the sunlight, and his military uniform made him even more handsome and majestic.
In the early years, when Xiao Mubai didn't have much time left, he had been seeking a comfortable life for Concubine Qi and Xiao Muhong after his death.
Xia Chu's previous identity as Princess Su Ran was actually prepared for Xiao Muhong early in the morning.
Therefore, even if Concubine Gu tried her best to find out Xia Chu's true identity, she found nothing in the end because she had already arranged such an identity.
As for Xiao Muhong's future husband, he was originally very optimistic about the second son of the Qiao family, Qiao Mozhi.
Wen Neng recited poems and composed poems, and Wu Neng led troops in battle. He looked handsome and slender, but in fact he looked like the perfect sister-in-law in his mind.
But since he received the sad news of Zhao Xingwen's death, he suddenly understood why Huo Tianxiu had been so opposed to the marriage.
"Second brother, are you willing to give up martial arts and become civil servants and take a comfortable official position in the capital?"
Qiao Mozhi was startled by his sudden question, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Go to Linhua Palace quickly, the second brother has gone back."
Xiao Mubai's eyes followed his running back, and suddenly he saw him pause. Qiao Mozhi stopped and looked back. Seeing that Xiao Mubai had been looking at him, a smile appeared on his face, and he added loudly : "Mobai, you did a good job this time."
Xiao Mubai's mind wandered elsewhere. Isn't this handsome man better than the Mongolian Wugetai
There was a slight scent of sandalwood in the wind. He walked along the spacious road and looked at the wintersweet that had been in bloom when he entered the palace a few days ago, but now it was slightly decaying under the sun. The transparent golden petals , seems to become darker.
Even the refreshing aroma seemed soft and thin.
Xiao Mubai finally took a step forward. Although he still resisted meeting Prince Liang in his heart, the matter here was settled and he always needed to say goodbye in person.
The fire in Linhua Hall was burning brightly. King Liang wore a light white robe, but it was not monotonous. The cuffs were embroidered with golden dragon patterns. He was holding a teacup in his hand, with a smile on his lips. General Qiao, who was sitting next to him, said proudly: "How about the person I selected?"
Old General Qiao pursed his lips and said softly without moving his eyebrows: "He now knows the king's true intention, but I don't seem happy to see him..."
King Liang took a sip of tea and sighed softly: "As a king, there is no way for a king to do as he pleases. Even if he is not happy in his heart, he still does a good job in the end."
Old General Qiao held the secret-colored porcelain tea cup and pondered for a long time before speaking: "Your Majesty deliberately allowed the Gu family to rebel. Is it to eliminate the Gu family in one fell swoop, or to establish his prestige?"
"It's just killing two birds with one stone. Looking at the result, you have to admit that even you may not be able to do so without losing a blood." King Liang had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of joking in his words.
General Qiao didn't pay attention to King Liang's teasing. Instead, he said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, don't just be happy. I see that he has no intention of becoming a king. Your Majesty tried his best to let him take this opportunity to be in Liang's court." It was a blockbuster, but he secretly transferred all the credit to the Seventh Prince."
Prince Liang clicked his tongue and said, "Why did that boy Xiao Yuan lead my nephew astray!"
When Xiao Mubai walked out of the palace, he happened to hear this last sentence. This was the first time that his father's name came out of someone else's mouth.
This other person is still the king of another country...
General Qiao had already seen his figure and coughed lightly at Prince Liang.
Prince Liang was looking at General Qiao, so he didn't pay attention to Xiao Mubai who came in behind him. He was still there and continued with a dissatisfied look on his face: "You are also considered the elder of that boy. What's wrong with him? You should have known it earlier." I picked up Xiaobai and grew up in Liangguo since I was a child."
"Then why doesn't the king have a child with the queen and raise it himself?" Xiao Mubai's cold voice sounded faintly from the palace, as clean and smooth as jade, without any ripples.
But for some reason, General Qiao could hear a spark of dissatisfaction from it.
King Liang looked startled, and suddenly looked back. Perhaps he did not expect that he came so quickly. It stands to reason that there are still some matters to be left in Chongde Hall.
King Liang lowered his eyes in silence. He could not answer this question. This was the only thing in his life that he felt guilty about and often blamed himself for.
It was precisely because he truly loved Pei Qingge that he did not dare to let her give birth to a child for him.
He was afraid that this would shake his heart.
General Qiao felt that the atmosphere had become extremely awkward, so he had to change the subject and asked Xiao Mubai, "Why haven't you seen Jian Ruilin?"
Xiao Mubai knew that he was trying to ease the atmosphere, but it was difficult to refute his face, so he turned around and replied to him: "People who seek glory behind the Lord's back, so as not to make the king angry, act out of sight..."
Before he finished speaking, Liang Wang, who had lowered his head just now, stood up and interrupted him: "Did you kill him?"
Xiao Mubai couldn't help but frowned when he heard the faint trembling in his tone: "I don't know if it's his turn..."
"Then hurry up and stop him!" King Liang looked excited and looked urgent.
Xiao Mubai called Xu Jing outside the palace and told him to stop him. He turned to look at the emperor again, with a look of understanding on his face, and snorted: "Is Jian Ruilin pretending to surrender?"
Old General Qiao coughed lightly at the side: "It's not just him. Gu Younian's men have already infiltrated many people from the king."
Xiao Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, when will the king regain the power of the king? It will be easy for him?"
Prince Liang's eyes drifted away slightly: "Having said that, it is inevitable that some blood will be shed, which will hurt the country. Besides, you didn't use the people I left for you at all this time, which makes me very happy."
"Practice makes perfect, you have experience." Xiao Mubai's tone was indifferent, his expression was calm, only his hands behind his back were clenched into fists.
He looked at Wang Liang's handsome face in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the emperor's equally handsome face in his mind.
These two people are indeed close friends who have known each other for many years and cherish each other.
They were all strategizing secretly, but on the surface they were working together to push him out and fight to the death.
