Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 244: test

Liu Gei saw Emperor Xingyuan’s darkened face during the incident and confirmed: The emperor’s “shit” just now was because he was scolding him!

This discovery was more uncomfortable for Liu Gishizhong than the iron fist on his face.

The emperor called him bullshit, called him bullshit, called him bullshit...

  Shi can be killed but not humiliated!

Liu was so excited about the incident that he was about to jump up and commit suicide when his body moved and suddenly calmed down.

 Don't be impulsive. The founding emperor was a ruthless man and would not accept this trick.

Emperor Xingyuan really did not accept this trick, and even cursed: "That's pure bullshit. General Bai has been fighting with me for many years, and he was Sichen in the last dynasty? Where did you put me?"

This world was conquered step by step by him, town by town, shed blood, encountered dangers, and conquered it step by step. There were countless people working for him during this period. Could it be that if there was a woman, Si Chen would have to worry about whether the throne would be unstable?

  Emperor Xingyuan’s words were serious. If they were truer, his family would not be able to please him, let alone Liu Gei. Liu Gei was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't dare to cry out that he was wronged, so he hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty.

Seeing that Liu Gei was honest in the matter, Emperor Xingyuan did not pursue the matter further. After all, he had already been beaten. He looked at General Bai again, his stern face showing a bit of helplessness: "Although what Liu Gai said in this matter is not pleasant to listen to, General Bai shouldn't beat people in public in the palace."

 Liu Geishizhong:?

You can't beat him in public in the palace. Does this mean you can beat him behind the scenes outside the palace?

 He took a sneak look at Emperor Xingyuan and saw that the emperor's face was serious. Liu Gai felt that he was being careless.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have beaten him in public." General Bai readily admitted his mistake.

 Liu Geishizhong: “…”

"You both have done something wrong. Each of you will be fined half a year's salary. You will not be able to do this again."

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

All the ministers were waiting for the emperor's decision. When they heard that each of them was fined half a year's salary, their views on General Bai suddenly changed.

 The Emperor still values ​​General Bai very highly!

From this point of view, the emperor had more grudges against the queen who left the palace.

General Bai left the palace gate and was greeted by a heroic girl: "Mother, are you okay?"

 General Bai's retirement due to illness is not an excuse. The old injuries caused by years of battle make it difficult for her body to support strenuous activities.

Bai Ying felt distressed and wiped her mother's sweat, then helped her get into the carriage.

Without outsiders, General Bai leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest, looking even weaker.

“Mother, I heard that you beat an adult in the palace—”

General Bai opened his eyes, his eyes bright: "It's a beating."

Bai Ying was worried and helpless: "Mother, you beat someone in the court. What should I do if I blame you now?"

 My mother’s temper is too violent.

General Bai lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then looked at his daughter: "Silly girl, do you think your mother is just trying to vent her anger?"

Bai Ying looked confused.

General Bai smiled, looking very tired, but his eyes were as sharp as before: "That bitch's mouth can't spit out ivory. It's one thing to beat him on the spot to vent his anger, but more importantly, I want to use this to test today's situation." attitude.”

She said this in a very soft voice, but Bai Ying still became nervous: "Mother—"

General Bai patted the back of his daughter's hand comfortingly, his expression difficult to distinguish between sadness and joy: "Fortunately, the result is not bad."

 She is branded as a queen, and in the eyes of the courtiers, she belongs to the queen's group. What she was testing was not the emperor's attitude toward her, but the queen's attitude.

If the emperor was resentful of the queen who left the palace, her punishment would never be like this.

 Fortunately, the emperor has feelings for the queen, and she can wait and see what happens to Prince Qing and others.

Thinking of the tragic death of the queen at the hands of Gu Changbo, General Bai wanted to destroy Gu Changbo's mansion. I just regret that today is no different than in troubled times, and we have to abide by many rules. “Ahem—” General Bai coughed.

Bai Ying hurriedly poured a glass of water and gave her a few sips: "Mother, you are not in good health, so you should work less. If you have anything to do, let your daughter do it."

General Bai stopped coughing and said with a smile: "There is indeed something."

 “Mother, say it.”

“That Kou girl’s mother appreciates her very much and hopes you can become friends.”

 Ever since the queen disappeared, there have been fewer and fewer women who are famous in the government and the public. It's not that women are born stupid and incompetent, it's just that there are too many people like Liu Geizhong, and it's hard to see women being outstanding.

On this point alone, General Bai cannot help but admire Miss Kou.

When Bai Ying heard what her mother said, she pursed her lips and smiled: "At that lotus garden banquet, my daughter had a drink with Miss Kou. Miss Kou is a generous and straightforward person."

Xin You, who was mentioned by Bai Ying and his daughter, has been keeping an eye on the wind since the news was released. The news that General Bai violently beat the speaker in the palace in front of all the civil and military officials quickly spread and naturally reached her ears.

“General Bai—” Xinyou murmured, keeping Bai Ying and his daughter in mind.

"Girl, Liu Zhou is here." Xiaolian came in to report.

 “Bring him to me directly.”

  It is placed in an ordinary house. If the young man outside wants to see everyone's noble daughter, he can go to the flower hall in front of him at most, so Xin You can do whatever he wants.

No one in Shaoqing's house said anything: My cousin has even been in and out of Jinlin Guard Prison, so it doesn't matter.

"Is there anything going on over there at the bookstore?" Xin You asked warmly when she saw Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou's face showed joy: "Boss, our bookstore's business is amazing. There is an endless stream of people coming to buy "Journey to the West"..."

 Having Liu Zhou specifically say this, one can imagine how prosperous the bookstore is.

Xin You thought about it for a while and guessed the general reason.

The rumor that Gu Changbo killed the queen spread more and more widely, and Mr. Songling was rumored to be the queen's man. In this way, officials who did not read folk tales would buy Mr. Songling's book and read it. Come and find out what kind of person Mr. Songling is.

"Shopkeeper Hu has arranged to print the first three volumes of "Journey to the West", so I asked Xiao Lai to ask whether he should take the opportunity to release the fourth volume, or release it as planned."

“There’s no rush to push it out, wait for my arrangements.” Xin You gave the instruction without hesitation.

Nowadays, Mr. Song Ling's "Journey to the West" has gone beyond the storybook itself and has become a favorite among the people with the support of many aspects. Just as the release of the third volume this time allowed her to achieve her goal of escaping from Jinlin Guard, the release of the fourth volume may also be a boost for her.

Liu Zhou had no objection to Xin You's decision and added, "Aunt Gui has been here twice and brought you snacks."

Liu Zhou brought the snacks sent by Aunt Gui this time, packed in a square food box.

Xinyou opened it with his own hands, revealing pieces of beautifully shaped red date cake.

“Aunt Gui said that fried food is not suitable for my master’s recovery. Date cake can replenish qi and blood. When you are well, I will make you Suhuang Du.”

Xinyou kept two pieces for himself, and shared the remaining red date cake with everyone.

 Liu Zhou was eating jujube cake and suddenly sighed: "I don't know when Mr. He will come back."

They are both Jinlin Guards. Mr. He's family sent jujube cakes to replenish vitality to his boss, but the man named Xiao beat his boss with a whip. The difference is huge!

 Master He, who was being talked about by the boy, arrived outside the city gate with a horse and a red dress.
