The fifth day of February in the eleventh year of Sui Ning
The spring rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and Luo Qingzhi regained her strength and was able to get out of bed and walk around.
Just after she resumed her actions, she arrived at the entrance of the criminal department. This day was also the day Xia Ji was released.
After taking off his prison uniform, Xia Ji put on his regular clothes. Dressed in white and with his lonely eyes, he looked more like a person who had just gotten up from the hospital bed than Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi walked forward, and before she could stand still, Xia Ji began to salute, "Your Majesty, no, the common people have seen Your Highness the Princess."
"Excuse me, I'm not here to see you today as the princess." Luo Qingzhi said.
Xia Ji said calmly: "No matter what your status is today, I should do this gift."
Knowing that Xia Ji was a gentleman who would not let her uncle in, she stopped worrying and got straight to the point.
"I wonder what your next plans are?"
Xia Ji looked up to the sky and sighed, "Go back to Tiger Hill."
Luo Qingzhi held up her hands, "I just said that I am not here to see you today as Princess An Ning. Brother Xia is not curious at all. Why am I here to see you today?"
Xia Ji asked sincerely: "The princess is looking for me?"
Luo Qingzhi took a step back and made a gesture of invitation, "Get in the car and say."
The carriage of the Princess's Mansion set off from the gate of the Ministry of Justice, headed south, and stopped at Wenyuan Street.
Luo Qingzhi walked in front and led Xia Ji to Mo Du Zhai.
"Princess, what does this mean?" Xia Ji asked.
Luo Qingzhi explained: "Su Lantai is going back to his hometown to serve his mother. No one is in charge here. Today, as the owner of Mo Du Zhai, I invite you to build this new Lantai."
Xia Ji said: "People say that the Baili family and Princess Anning are incompatible. It seems that this is all a fallacy."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "If you rely solely on your ears to do things, you will suffer big losses sooner or later. I don't think Brother Xia is such a person."
Xia Ji didn't answer. Looking at the books in the room, he couldn't hide his heartbeat. Although Mo Duzhai was a private bookstore, its collection of books was no less than that of the palace.
"I know you have been thinking about books, and here, I can give you this opportunity." Luo Qingzhi showed her trump card.
"good."
Xia Ji no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Luo Qingzhi took out the key from her arms and handed it to Xia Ji.
"It seems that the princess is sure that I will not refuse." Xia Ji looked at the key prepared in Luo Qingzhi's hand.
"No, everyone has their own choice. I just like to prepare everything in advance."
Xia Ji bowed his hands and said, "I will take good care of Mo Du Zhai."
Luo Qingzhi returned the favor, "Then, I'll leave everything to you."
After arranging a place for Xia Ji, Luo Qingzhi came to Baili Mansion without stopping.
This time, I only saw Baili Xi in the study.
Before Luo Qingzhi could ask, Baili Xi explained: "Your uncle is dealing with this year's imperial examination, which has delayed a lot of time. He has to move quickly to arrange everything before the spring examination in March."
"This time, I am the one who has caused trouble to my uncle." Luo Qingzhi said.
Baili Xi hit her on the head and said, "We are a family, and this is how family relationships should be. In order not to implicate us, you kept pretending to be at odds with the Baili family."
Luo Qingzhi was still immersed in the emotion of self-blame. Baili Xi changed the subject and said, "I've seen that boy. He looks good enough for you. Your wedding is in ten days. Hey...
....My good granddaughter is going to get married."
Bailixi touched her hair and warned, "Qingqing, many things happened, they just happened. Just live every day in front of you."
Luo Qingzhi thought that Baili Xi must not want her to continue to investigate the cause of her mother's death.
"Qingqing, my grandma is getting old. I wonder if I won't be able to wake up if I lie down one day."
"My dear!" Luo Qingzhi was a little annoyed, "You are not allowed to say such things."
Baili smiled sarcastically, "Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions in the world. There is nothing that cannot be mentioned. I am the most at ease."
The one who doesn’t get better is you.”
Luo Qingzhi held Baili Xi's hand and said, "Wang, I'm fine, don't worry."
"No matter what you want to do, I will not stop you. I only have one request." Baili Xi said seriously.
Luo Qingzhi said: "You say."
Baili Xi patted her hand and said, "Protect your own life. If your life is gone, you will lose everything."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I understand, Qingqing."
Baili Xi stood up and took out a token from the brocade box on the desk.
"I probably won't be able to go to your wedding. This is the dowry prepared for you."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the token and immediately refused, "This is the family leader's token. My uncle is still here, how can I do it."
Baili Xi said, "Don't you know what your uncle's temper is? One day he will leave the court and Baili's house to do his own things."
"But." Luo Qingzhi still couldn't accept it and refused again, "I..."
"I know what you are thinking." Baili Xi said, forcing the token into her hand, "You have the blood of the Luo family and the blood of the Baili family. Although my wife has never
I don’t want to control the government, let alone win over people’s hearts, but the Baili family’s century-old foundation cannot be taken lightly.”
Luo Qingzhi sighed deeply, and Baili Xi comforted her, "I gave you the token, and you will be the head of the Baili family. Whatever you do in the future, everyone in the Baili family will have to listen to you, including your uncle."
Too."
After Baili Xi finished speaking, he smiled and said, "So this is how my father felt when he handed over the Baili family to me."
"How does it feel?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"It's such a relief." Baili Xi replied.
Luo Qingzhi looked at the token in her hand, Baili Mansion's century-old foundation. I don't know how many people this token has passed through. Now that it is in her hand, where should she go?
"There's no need to be burdened, just do whatever you want." Baili Xi said.
Luo Qingzhi still sighed, but she also understood in her heart that the Baili family had a sense of retreat since her uncle's generation, not only because of her mother-in-law's unwillingness, but also because there were few male members in the Baili family.
The only ones who can take over this important task are Bailihan and her.
Baili Xi urged: "I always feel at ease when you do things, but I still have to remind you with just one sentence."
Luo Qingzhi held up her hands and said, "My dear, please tell me."
"As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Qingqing, you must be awake at all times, okay?"
Luo Qingzhi nodded solemnly, "Understood."
When she came out of the main entrance of Baili Mansion, the sun was already setting. Luo Qingzhi raised her head and looked at the setting sun. She held the Baili family's token in her hand, which was much heavier than when she held the Beifu Army's tiger talisman.
Obviously, she knew that the reason why her grandpa wanted to hand over the Baili family to her was not only because he hoped that the power of the Baili family could help her, but more importantly, he also hoped that she could preserve the Baili family's century-old foundation.
Luo Qingzhi entered the carriage, and the driver asked where to go.
"Come into the palace."
In the Xuanyang Palace, Gao Yan learned that Luo Qingzhi asked for an audience. Not surprisingly, he stopped what he was doing and called the person in.
"Aluo, it's getting dark now, why do you think of entering the palace?"
Luo Qingzhi took out the token of Baili Mansion from her arms, held it in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Baili met me today and gave me this."
Gao Yan clearly knew that Luo Qingzhi came out of Baili Mansion a second ago, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked: "What is this?"
"The Patriarch's Token." Luo Qingzhi answered.
"Oh?" Gao Yan asked, "What? I have no idea when A Luo reconciled with the Baili family."
Luo Qingzhi said: "It's not a reconciliation, it's just that there is no one in the Baili family, and Mr. Baili hopes that I will take over as the head of the family."
Gao Yan snorted, "No one? What is Baili Han?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "Your Majesty must know best what kind of temper Mr. Bailihan has. He asked himself to be the examiner of the imperial examination. It seems that he is solving problems for your Majesty, but he is also winning over the hearts of the Baili family. This move has not been done without approval.
Lord Baili's colleague
meaning.".
"So." Gao Yan asked, "They asked you to come to the rescue."
"Your Majesty is wise." Luo Qingzhi said: "Master Baili Xi hopes that I can save Bailihan's life."
Gao Yan laughed loudly, "What? In their minds, I am a foolish king who kills courtiers indiscriminately?"
Luo Qingzhi said calmly, "I don't know what they think, but I know that now that the Baili family is in my hands, it is also in the hands of His Majesty."
Gao Yan picked up the token, weighed it, and put it back into Luo Qingzhi's hand, "That's what A Luo said."
Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and planned to say goodbye.
"Have you thought about it?" Gao Yan asked for no reason.
Luo Qingzhi didn't understand what the emperor was talking about, so she asked: "What is your Majesty referring to?"
Gao Yan said calmly: "I need Ah Rou to enter the palace."
"With the support of the Baili family, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants. You may not need Ah Rou." Luo Qingzhi was still unwilling.
Luo Qingzhi thought that Gao Yan would continue to press him, but unexpectedly, he just nodded and said, "Okay."
Gao Yan continued: "Then you kill Gao Zhen."
Luo Qingzhi frowned for a moment and asked, "So, Your Majesty is telling me that I can only protect Ah Rou and Ah Zhen, right?"
Gao Yan did not answer, as if by default.
Luo Qingzhi knelt on her knees, cupped her hands and said, "The same thing happened back then. In order to save the two of them, you asked me to reorganize the Beifu Army. I did it, and you did spare their lives. So today...
...Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?"
"There is something strange happening in Ningzhou Mu Mansion, get rid of him."
A simple sentence made Luo Qingzhi shudder. As a military general, she would receive military reports every day, but she had never heard of any unusual movements. Gao Yan simply wanted to eradicate the influence of Mu Mansion.
Seeing that Luo Qingzhi had not answered, Gao Yan asked softly: "What?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "I will get married in ten days. Ningzhou is on the southwest border. Even if there are any differences, it will not endanger Jinling for a while. I will set off again after the wedding is over."
"...If that's the case, let's cancel it." Gao Yan said lightly.
"..."
Luo Qingzhi was angry, raised her head, and looked at Gao Yan.
"I don't understand why you hate Gao Zhen so much?"
Gao Yan was silent for a while and said, "I said, he is a wolf and cannot be kept." This chapter has been completed!
