A palace maid hurried over and whispered a few words in the eunuch's ear.
The eunuch looked at Baili Cheng thoughtfully, his tone changing from his previous arrogance.
"Elder Baili, Your Majesty invites you."
"Your Majesty summoned me?" Baili Cheng was confused and looked at Shangguan Qing and others in confusion.
"Yes, please."
"Eunuch, what about us? Does your Majesty have an edict?"
"Everyone, please wait a little longer."
Gu Chunuan glanced at everyone and left with the eunuch and Baili Cheng.
Because she was disguised as Dr. Jin, those people did not recognize him.
"The common people have seen your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
In the palace.
Baili Cheng knelt down.
Gu Chunuan just cupped his fists and saluted.
Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Chunuan, thinking that she didn't understand etiquette. The father-in-laws kept signaling with their eyes, but Gu Chunuan didn't seem to notice, and the father-in-laws couldn't help but sweat for her.
The empress was half-lying on the imperial concubine's couch through a curtain, with a lazy look on her face and her clothes half exposed.
She raised her eyebrows lightly, holding a golden bottle in one hand and squinting to enjoy it.
Holding the handsome man next to him with one hand, he looked at Gu Chunuan with interesting eyes.
At her feet, there were several young men who were massaging her legs.
Gu Chunuan let her look at him openly.
"Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty." The father-in-law urged in a low voice, wiping away the cold sweat.
After all, people from outside the palace are from outside the palace, and they don’t understand any rules.
He is the first person in the history of the Ice Kingdom to dare not to be polite when meeting His Majesty.
Gu Chunuan said righteously, "As long as you have Your Majesty in your heart, fear Your Majesty, and love Your Majesty, what's the difference between kneeling and not kneeling? Even though some people kneel, they may not know how dissatisfied they are with His Majesty."
There are only Gu Chunuan and Baili Cheng here.
Baili Cheng was really stunned.
Isn't this doctor obviously criticizing him?
If he responds, it proves that he is that person.
If he didn't respond, wouldn't he be wronged by her in vain?
Baili Cheng said, "Your Majesty is the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, the True Dragon Emperor. Who in the world dares not to fear him? Who doesn't love him?"
"Oh... Then why did you come to the palace to see His Majesty? To ask His Majesty to favor the children of the Baili Family, or to ask Your Majesty to let them go?"
"you……"
Baili Cheng was furious.
I have never met this doctor, and I have no grievances, but her words are sharp and every word is directed against him.
Nuo is a big palace. Who doesn't know that he entered the palace to intercede for his grandson and the disciples of the clan, but she directly singled him out, with such a malicious tone, what should he say later?
Even if he was full of stomach, Baili Cheng didn't know how to explain to the empress.
He could only kowtow and say, "Your Majesty is aware that the grassroots and everyone in the Baili Family are loyal to Your Majesty and dare not disobey Your Majesty."
"Get up."
The empress drank a glass of wine, sat up slightly and said lazily, "Why do you want to see me?"
"This... Cao Min... Cao Min's grandson Baili Chun and the eight children of the Baili family entered the palace to serve His Majesty. I wonder if they can satisfy His Majesty?"
If the doctor hadn't said those words, Bailicheng would have dared to ask His Majesty to release him.
But right now...
He could only test gently to see if his grandson was still there.
The empress said calmly, "It's acceptable."
That's okay, Baili Cheng's face changed slightly, and his breathing became a little faster.
"Your Majesty, Baili Chun is still young, and you will definitely not be satisfied with his service. Can you let the common people take him back and train him for a while, and then let him enter the palace to serve your Majesty?"
"No need."
"Your Majesty..." Baili Cheng panicked.
His wife and children were all dead, leaving only one grandson.
He simply couldn't imagine what he would do if his grandson was gone.
He begged the head of the family to intercede on behalf of Bai Lichun and others.
But the head of the family... refused... and ordered him not to mention the matter again, let alone ask to see His Majesty.
Chun'er and the eight Baili family disciples are all the most elite disciples of the Baili family.
He really couldn't understand why the head of the family wanted to watch the elite of the clan be ruined like this.
"Where's Bailiba? Why doesn't he come?"
"The master of the house...the master of the house has been ill recently, and His Majesty is busy with state affairs, so he dare not come to disturb His Majesty."
"Speaking of which, Baili Ba has also done a lot for me. The ancestors of the Baili family are the founding heroes of the Ice Kingdom. You have also provided many talents to the Ice Kingdom over the years. That's all... You want to see them, right?
I will help you and let you take them back."
Baili Cheng was overjoyed.
I never expected that things would go so smoothly.
He thanked you repeatedly, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Soon, the eunuch came over with nine small jars.
Baili Cheng looked at the jar with some inexplicable wonder.
The empress glanced at the jar and said lazily, "No, aren't they all here?"
"Boom..."
Baili Cheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, almost losing his balance.
"His Majesty……"
The father-in-law said, "His Majesty is gracious and allows you to take the ashes back. Why don't you thank Your Majesty quickly?"
Chun'er was indeed attracted by her...
Baili Cheng was angry, anxious and in disbelief. Shubao.com
How could he accept that a person who was alive a few days ago was now just a pile of ashes?
"Your Majesty, the bones and ashes of Baili Chun and others are not here..."
"What? You don't want it? Since you don't want it, just sprinkle it into the Guihun Well."
"His Majesty……"
Bai Ning, who was waiting beside the empress, said coldly, "He can serve His Majesty. That is the favor given to him by Your Majesty. Elder Baili, do you have any objections to Your Majesty?"
"The common people don't dare?"
Baili Cheng was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
But she is the empress.
He could only endure it.
Otherwise, the entire Baili family might be wiped out because of his words.
"Your Majesty's ability to return the ashes is due to the loyalty of your Baili family from generation to generation. You haven't thanked Your Majesty yet."
"The common people... thank you, Your Majesty."
Gu Chunuan felt no sympathy at all.
These people are not good people, including that Baili Chun, who bullies the weak all day long and does all kinds of evil.
The empress said slowly, "I heard that the Baili Family captured a jade nine-headed python king and an ancient black tiger?"
"To answer your Majesty, I have captured him before. The owner of the family wanted to present it to Your Majesty, but they escaped unexpectedly."
Bai Ning said coldly, "That's nonsense. Your Majesty was asking about the past few days, not the past period of time."
"Your Majesty, the Baili Family caught them twice, and they escaped both times. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send people to investigate at any time."
Gu Chunuan's mind suddenly moved.
She encountered a catastrophe that day. Xiao Jiuer and Xiao Hu did not show up. Were they arrested by people from the Baili Family?
She knew something must be wrong with these two little things, so they didn't come to save her.
So now, where are they?
"Is this true?" the empress asked.
"It's absolutely true, ordinary people dare not deceive Your Majesty." Baili Cheng suppressed his anger and sadness and said with sincerity and fear.
