The red sunset swept over with the coldness of the evening, and the unknown aura fermented in the cold palace an unbearable atmosphere. In Yanfu Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, staring at his hands in a daze, trembling slightly, and there was no one around except an old man standing at the steps.

There were occasional crackling sounds of wicks burning in the dim hall, and the whole hall was silent so that it made people feel panicked. Zhao Ji was in a bad mood at this moment. Since returning from the city wall, he has been sitting until now. Cai Jing, who was standing below, came for an hour and was also silent in an informal manner. The two of them were silent for a long time.

then.....

"I..." Zhao Ji stared at his palms tightly, his voice was hoarse and dry, "Has he done something wrong? I just wanted him to surrender. Xiao Ningzi has been with me for many years... I don't want to hurt him."

His eyes raised slightly, and he looked at the old man below as if he asked for help.

Cai Jing took a deep breath, vomited, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, everyone in the world can say that they are wrong, but Your Majesty cannot. The king has no face, and the ministers will bear it. Since this has come to this, Bai Ning resigned from his position as admiral, and it is time to close the Dongchang Yamen."

After hearing the other party's words, Zhao Ji frowned and slowly held his spread out palms, "The East Factory has been established for many years, and it is also my eyes and ears. How can I just retreat? Should I rely on the wastes in the Imperial City Department?"

Cai Jing was silent for a moment, showed an anxious look, and bowed, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be compared. Although the Imperial City Department is exhausted, it is generally normal people. But if the East Factory is still established, how will the eunuchs promoted by Bai Ning, the people in the martial arts world handle themselves? Those people are very skilled in martial arts and are all above the top. If Bai would rather not suppress them..."

"Huh?" The emperor stood up in the Longting Court, "You mean that my dignified emperor still can't subdue those eunuchs? It's ridiculous. Could it be that because I withdrew Bai Ning, they dared to commit rebellion?"

He waved his hand vigorously and walked back and forth in the courtyard a few steps. As the robe swayed, he said, "The power of the East Factory is given by me, and I put them in that position. It is not my word to take back the power in their hands."

Cai Jing faintly curled a smile of success on his lips and bowed to him: "Your Majesty said, but you must be careful. Since Your Majesty still wants to use the East Factory, you can only replace the people inside and put them in your Majesty's confidant as the supervisor, so that the people below can still do things."

"Well, but the Jurchens have not left yet, so they cannot do such a thing..." Zhao Ji looked at the Yuping behind the dragon throne with his hands on his back and sighed, "After all, it's a last resort."

The palace gate suddenly pushed up, and the figure on the dragon court, the old man below the steps looked over and saw a gap in the palace gate. The figure flashed in and came over quickly, holding the news just sent in his hand. The eunuch's old face filled with a flattering smile, "The official family... good news... good news!"

With a small step, Zhao Ji ran to the side of Longting. He unfolded the paper, looked at the news and narrowed his eyes, smiled from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the old man who was curiously looking down. His voice trembled slightly: "Cai Xiang... It's really good news, the Jurchens have withdrawn."

"In this way, the old minister congratulates Your Majesty on his great blessings."

Cai Jing congratulated and said, "... Moreover, Your Majesty, another box of spiritual medicine was sent to Lingyi Mountain. According to their calculations, they almost calculated that the elixirs in His Majesty had almost been taken, so when the old minister came over, he specially brought the remaining ones together."

He clapped his hands and a little eunuch came in outside the hall gate with a box. Zhao Ji sat back on the dragon chaise with laughter and pointed at the other party with his fingers, "Cai Xiang, Cai Xiang, you have it on your side a long time ago, why didn't you take it out?"

Cai Jing said slowly: "I am worried that Your Majesty will take too much at one time and will be in poor health. Although the elixir is good, it will also hurt your body... I need to think about Your Majesty and give it a try."

"I'm afraid the old Taoist priests said this to Cai Xiang in advance." Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Cao Zhenchun to put away the pills. Then Cai Jing said it again, and his mood seemed to be getting better. "Do you know what news about Bai Ning?"

"The Bai Mansion has been closely monitored by the Ministry of Justice, but except for Bai Ning's two relatives, he has never appeared. I don't know if he is still in the mansion."

"...........so, Cai Xiang will take my handwritten instructions to handle the previous matter."

The old eunuch took the box and went to the side hall. The voice behind him became farther and farther away until he couldn't hear it. His flattering smile gradually closed. While looking at the box carefully, he looked at a palace maid passing by and nodded.

Over there, the little palace maid understood and hid in the aisle.

Baifu Beiyuan.

In the open wooden window, the wooden comb gently combed from a strand of silver wire. The woman holding the wooden comb was wearing a bright red dress, with black hair hanging on her shoulders on both sides, and her pink lips opened and closed again, pursing.

In front of the wooden table, the man holding the man looked coldly as he looked outside the window at the afterglow of the sunset pouring on the yard, looking quiet and deep. Birds came to stop on the branches, and a few cries came.

It's March, the weather is starting to warm up and everything is starting to warm up.

A sad look flashed in Bai Ning's eyes, and he sat there quietly, watching the birds chirping on the branches, attracting new birds, and then he remembered all kinds of things, about the silly girl.

"Mr...."

"I have a husband with a blessing..."

"The duck is growing up...mother is coming back soon...If she sees the duck not growing up... she will leave again..."

"Bite you... don't beat me...my husband..."

"I'm afraid of my husband... I'm missing... My husband is here... I'm waiting here for my husband."

In the red afterglow, in the air, I vaguely saw the ragged woman trembling with her thin body, trembling but stubbornly protecting him behind her, "Because you are the husband who cherishes blessings."

But his eyes were extremely firm.

Under the rain, the silly woman waved in the rain, "Mr.! Xifu... will feed the ducklings very much... you will come back early!"

The trivial scenes, the silly expression of the silly girl Xifu, the crying look, and the happy look, as if she was a child, passed by in his memory and came back. Before he knew it, he stood up and the night fell outside.

The person in the picture disappeared into the air.

"Xi Fu... I will never go anywhere in my life, until I find you." He held it in vainly, trying to seize the illusion of disappearance.

After all, let it go.

Then the sound around him gradually amplified and heard in his ears.

"Bai Ning...Bai Ning! Be cheer up, cherish your blessings are not here, I am still here... Living Xiao Pinger is still here... Look at me." Xiao Pinger was beside him, calling anxiously.

Further away, under the eaves, Linglong was crying there, "You compensate my mother... You compensate me."

"The emperor wants to take Xifu away... What can I do? Will Sun stop killing all the imperial guards?" This was Bai Di's voice.

"Ahhhh--At that time, I, Old Sun, should have hit the Golden Palace and killed the emperor's child!" This was Sun No longer's voice.

The sounds in the yard were gathering, stimulating Bai Ning. There was no expression on his face, but he looked coldly at the dark sky, and the lights under the eaves were swaying. Soon after, a figure hurried over, stepped into the yard, and when he walked to Bai Ning, he whispered a few words.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out, his eyes flashing with madness and tyranny.

"Go to do it..."
