The inner hall is where Bai Jingrong sleeps. Normally, no foreign men would stay here, but apparently no one cares about this now.
As soon as Luo Junyao stepped into the inner hall, he saw Qu Fang sitting inside, and also noticed the gaze from the hidden place in the hall.
"Mr. Qu, would you like to have something to eat?" Luo Junyao walked up to Qu Fang and put the midnight snack down, saying softly.
Qu Fang sat at the table, motionless.
Luo Junyao blinked doubtfully, "Mr. Qu, do you think it's not to your liking?"
After a while, Qu Fang said: "I'm not hungry, you can take it out."
Luo Junyao said in a low voice: "I was ordered by the empress to send it to Mr. Qu. Mr. Qu should use a little of it, and don't disturb the empress."
Qu Fang was silent for a moment, and finally raised his hand to pick up the chopsticks in front of him and started eating.
Seeing him starting to eat, Luo Junyao laughed happily and said, "Mr. Qu, use it slowly. I will come in later to collect the dishes and chopsticks." After that, he turned around and left.
Ji Zhan and others gathered in Bai Jingrong Hall so late, obviously to discuss how to deal with Xie Yan.
While eating midnight snack, Ji Rong suddenly said: "Queen Mother, Brother Wang, King Chaqin of Dongyin and Xie Yan have united with the Western Region to besiege us. Can we ask for help from the people of Western Yin?"
Hearing this, everyone's hands froze. Ji Zhan looked at his brother in surprise, "Why do you think so?"
Ji Rong said impressively: "Now that we are enemies of three parties, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive on our own. If we can get foreign help, these difficulties can naturally be solved."
Seeing that everyone was still looking at her, Ji Rong quickly said: "I was just thinking about it randomly, and I don't know if it's appropriate."
Ji Zhan sighed and said: "The people of Xiyin have already moved westward. Now I want to form an alliance with them, but I'm afraid I can't find anyone."
Ji Rong stopped talking.
Bai Jingrong, who was sitting on the throne, said calmly: "It is indeed impossible for the people of Xiyin to think about it, but it may not be impossible for others."
"The Queen Mother said..."
Bai Jingrong said coldly: "Wu Mo and other small countries were seduced by Xie Yan to betray the Qi people, but they may not be able to make everyone listen to them. The Western Region is far away from us, but there are Yurong, Xitian and other tribes who are good at fighting.
The clan, and Rouran, can also mobilize 20,000 to 30,000 troops, right?"
The middle-aged man who had been sitting silently at the bottom of the table said, "Queen Mother, back then Rouran was wiped out by our Qi tribe. Now that we are weak, the Rouran people may not be willing to obey." She might even add insult to injury.
The middle-aged man is Ji Rong's cousin, and now the representative of the Qi royal family is named Ji.
Bai Jingrong snorted softly and said calmly: "When the late king destroyed Rouran, he not only took a fancy to Rouran's weapon forging methods, but also took a fancy to Rouran's warriors. Although they have not been able to successfully use them for our Qi tribe in these years, in the end they have not been able to use them successfully.
There are still some results.”
Ji Liao looked at Bai Jingrong and said, "Please give me some advice from the Queen Mother."
Bai Jingrong didn't speak, just smiled and said nothing.
Ji Liao's expression changed, and she didn't ask any more questions.
Soon everyone had finished their supper, and Luo Junyao went in again, took out the dishes that Qu Fang had also eaten, and followed Bai Ning out.
"How's it going?" As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Qu Tiange's somewhat urgent voice.
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Mr. Qu was restrained by Bai Jingrong. He should have used medicine that can limit his internal strength. There are experts guarding him at all times. I can't talk to Mr. Qu. But I have secretly informed him that you came to the palace.
The news is coming, he asked you not to act rashly."
Qu Tiange looked solemn and said: "Bai Jingrong said that if I don't go to see her, she will kill the master."
"Will she really kill Mr. Qu?" Luo Junyao asked worriedly.
"I don't know, maybe." Qu Tiange said without any hope.
With Bai Jingrong's character, she felt that Qu Fang had betrayed her, and she would never rekindle her old love.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "In that case, go and meet her. At least you must first know what she wants you to do."
After saying this, Luo Junyao thought about it again and asked with some worry: "She won't take action against you, right?" With Bai Jingrong's vengeful personality, he might not be able to trick Qu Tiange into killing him.
Qu Tiange shook his head and said: "Maybe it was possible in the past, but now she should expect me to do things for her more."
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful."
Qu Tiange looked at her, "What are your plans, Princess?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "It's time for me to leave, but I plan to do something else before I leave."
Qu Tiange did not object, and just said: "Princess, please be careful." After knowing each other for so many years, he was not worried about Luo Junyao's ability, but he also knew that the princess would sometimes do some risky things.
"You should be careful," Luo Jun said with a smile.
An hour later, Bai Jingrong's bedroom had become quiet.
Ji Zhan and others have left, and only Qu Fang and Bai Jingrong are left in the dormitory.
Qu Fang still sat motionless at the table. Bai Jingrong leaned leisurely on the bedside and looked at Qu Fang. Qu Fang felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him.
Although he has admired Bai Jingrong for many years, he is actually not used to being alone with her in such an environment.
After a long time, Bai Jingrong suddenly chuckled, and the laughter seemed particularly clear in the silent dormitory.
"A Fang, do you really want to be so heartless to me?" Bai Jingrong asked leisurely.
Qu Fang was silent for a moment and then said: "You can't win against Xie Yan."
Bai Jingrong's expression changed, but she quickly returned to her previous gentleness and charm, "How do you know I can't win if you don't help me?"
Qu Fang said in a deep voice: "You already tried it when we were in Shangyong."
Bai Jingrong hummed: "That's just Xie Yan taking advantage of the right time and place."
"Now you are in the right place at the right time." Qu Fang said.
You still lose.
"That's enough!" Bai Jingrong finally couldn't help scolding, looked at Qu Fang coldly and said, "It's just that you don't want to help me, and I won't force you. But you'd better not ruin my business, otherwise don't blame me for not doing anything.
Nostalgic for old friendship."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qu Fang asked.
Bai Jingrong smiled lightly, but his eyes were full of contempt, "Since you are unwilling to help me, you have no right to ask these questions."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bai Ning's voice came from outside the palace, "Ms. Qi, Mr. Qu is here."
Qu Fang's expression changed slightly and he said angrily: "Did you find Tian Ge again?"
Seeing him angry, Bai Jingrong felt a little happy.
"I can't help it. Who made you be so heartless towards me?" Bai Jingrong stood up and walked out. "Fortunately, your apprentice is still generally filial to you."
Qu Fang stood up and wanted to follow him out, but was pushed back by a force.
He had no internal strength at this time, and the strength in his whole body was only enough to barely sit upright. After being pressed like this, he immediately sat back, and almost fell to the ground if he hadn't been holding on to the table.
Bai Jingrong strolled out without looking back.
"Tiange, long time no see." Bai Jingrong looked at the tall and straight young man standing in the hall and said with a soft smile.
Qu Tiange, however, was not polite at all. He looked her up and down and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have aged a lot."
The smile on Bai Jingrong's lips froze. As a stunning beauty, the last thing she couldn't bear was the late beauty, let alone being ridiculed in front of her face.
Bai Jingrong's expression changed several times, and then she sighed quietly and said, "We haven't seen you for several years, but your temper is still so bad."
"Where is my master?" Qu Tiange asked bluntly.
Bai Jingrong walked to the main seat and sat down, looking down at Qu Tiange.
"A Fang is naturally fine. He is in the inner hall now. Do you want to see him?"
Qu Tiange said in a deep voice: "Let him go."
Bai Jingrong chuckled and shook his head, "Tiange, you are still so cute. If you feel you can take him away, go in and find him."
Qu Tiange stared at her with stern eyes, motionless.
Bai Jingrong said: "Don't try to hold me hostage. You tried it back then, didn't you?"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qu Tiange asked impatiently.
A cold light flashed in Bai Jingrong's eyes, and she slowly suppressed her smile, "Well, let me tell you the truth. It's very simple to want your master to be safe. I want you... to kill Dasheng's regent princess.
"
"Tiange, you know my temper. I'm really angry this time, so if you mess with me again, I will really kill him." Bai Jingrong said in a cold voice.
Qu Tiange said: "You want me to go back to Shangyong now and help you kill Luo Junyao?"
Bai Jingrong sneered, "Are you trying to lie to me? Xie Yan is in the royal court of the Qi clan, why is that little girl not here? I have heard a little bit about what you have been doing in Shangyong in the past few years, and I know that the girl you found can also do it
Kill her."
Qu Tiange remained silent.
Bai Jingrong said: "As long as you help me accomplish this, I will let you go. I promise that I will never look for your master again in this life, and help you convince him to leave with you. How about that?"
Qu Tiange still said nothing, and Bai Jingrong was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
I don't know how long it took before Qu Tiange said in a deep voice: "I don't know where she is now. It takes time."
Bai Jingrong smiled cheerfully and said: "Okay, three days. In three days, I want to see Luo Junyao's head, or I will let you see Qu Fang's head."
Qu Tiange ignored her threats and turned around and walked out.
Bai Jingrong didn't stop him either, she just looked at his leaving back with a smile.
"kill me?"
Qu Tiange did not go to see Luo Junyao again, and Luo Junyao received the news from Qu Tiange the next morning.
Upon receiving this news, Luo Jun shook his head, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
After quickly sending out the reply message, Luo Junyao packed up and walked out.
The Queen Mother's palace seemed to be the same as before, but everyone could clearly feel the difference.
The allied forces of the Yin and Western Regions are already approaching, and the news of the disastrous defeat of the Qi tribe's troops has spread throughout the palace. However, the Qi tribe's royal city does not have solid walls like the cities in the Central Plains. How can this not make people feel uneasy?
Such emotions affected everyone in the palace, and naturally also affected the atmosphere in the palace.
"neat."
"Sister Bai Ning." Luo Junyao walked quickly to Bai Ning and said respectfully: "But what are your orders?"
Bai Ning nodded lightly and said softly: "The empress has a destiny. It is said that Her Majesty Ji Rong will come to see her."
Luo Jun said: "Should I go?"
Bai Ning said: "I can't leave now. If you don't go, who else can go?" After the chaos that night, Bai Jingrong also had fewer people around him.
Luo Junyao nodded quickly and said, "I'll go right away." He turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Bai Ning.
Bai Ning whispered: "Don't be too arrogant. Your Highness Ji Rong should be in the political hall at the moment. When he comes out, you can just go up and invite him over."
Luo Junyao was a little confused, "Can't the king know?"
Bai Ning shook his head and said, "Not really, just don't be too showy and deliberate."
Luo Junyao nodded and said she understood, but in fact she really didn't know.
As far as the relationship between Ji Rong and Bai Jingrong is concerned, Ji Rong will never come to see her if nothing happens. So as long as he comes, no matter how you invite him, it will be intentional. If you want to hide it, you should change the time to quietly let someone send the message, otherwise Ji Zhan will not even connect Xiaoxiao
There is no news in the palace.
But this is not a problem that she needs to consider. She is more curious about what trump card Bai Jingrong has that makes her think she can turn defeat into victory.
After leaving the Queen Mother's Palace, Luo Junyao headed all the way to the Political Affairs Hall. She was lucky enough to see a group of people coming out of it as soon as she arrived.
However, these people are not like the ministers and generals who discussed matters in the previous court. They are basically members of the Qi royal family, and there is a beautiful Qi girl among them.
Luo Junyao recalled the identity of the girl in his mind, and a voice suddenly came from beside him: "That is the princess of Xitian."
Luo Jun shook his head and saw Ji Rong standing not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a half-smile.
Luo Junyao quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness Ji Rong, why are you behind me?"
Ji Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "I came out one step ahead of them. Just as I was about to leave, I saw you sneaking around here. What do you want to do?"
Luo Junyao said: "My queen, please come over."
Ji Rong sneered lightly and said in a neutral tone: "Then let's go."
Luo Junyao couldn't help but look at the girl again, and then followed Ji Rong to the Queen Mother's Palace.
"Are you curious about that girl?"
Luo Jun shook his head, then shook his head quickly and said, "No, that's not the case. I remember that there seemed to be no such princess when the tribes came to the palace to pay homage."
Ji Rong said: "That's because she was not the concubine given to Brother Wang first. Although Xitian is surrendered to the Qi people, its own strength is not weak. Brother Wang naturally has to give them some face. That princess came with her brother.
Visiting the royal court of the Qi people."
"Now...does the king plan to marry her and become the new queen?"
Ji Rong smiled and said: "I do have this plan."
"But...didn't you agree before that you would marry another noble girl from the Qi tribe?"
"Who told you that you can only have one queen?" Ji Rong looked at her, "Miss Chu Chu is so concerned about Brother Wang's harem, is it possible that she also has intentions for Brother Wang? In that case, why did she refuse Brother Wang's advances before?
"
Luo Junyao was speechless and said quickly: "Your Highness Ji Rong, don't talk nonsense. I'm not... I'm just a little curious. And..."
"What?"
Luo Junyao whispered: "I think the queen is a bit pitiful."
Ji Rong glanced at her lightly and said, "You are a smart person, don't say this in front of others in the future."
Luo Junyao nodded obediently and said, "I understand."
"Let's go, isn't your mother waiting for you like this?" Ji Rong said.
Luo Junyao responded and left quickly after Ji Rong.
