Baili Qingchen stopped her steps as soon as she saw the figure of Qingyi standing while folding both her hands on her chest and the gaze of the woman pierced deeply. Baili Qingchen's expression instantly changed and he intended to turn the direction. He thought that this woman was looking for a calculation with him.
“Where are you going, Your Majesty the King?” qingyi asked in a tone that the circus had deliberately made.
“Ah, I seem to have forgotten something. There is a file I have not submitted to the Emperor and should be received today as well,” Baili Qingchen turned the direction avoiding Qingyi, stepping away.
Qingyi raised her eyebrows up high. His feet knocked on the garden rocks at a constant tempo.
“Baili Qingchen, stop you!”
Baili Qingchen instantly stopped. His body still did not turn around, he was like a statue. Qingyi walked up to him, then pulled the back collar of the man's robe until it made her almost stray. Baili Qingchen thrashed as Qingyi pulled him and made him walk backwards.
“Let me walk properly!” the Pinta Baili Qingchen.
“Walk in your dreams!”
Qingyi brought him to the western courtyard while holding back emotions. If Consort Jia had not asked him earlier, he would probably have known for much longer that something had happened in the Imperial High Court.
Qingyi would not know if Pavilion head Litao escaped from the prison. In essence, Qingyi was very upset that Baili Qingchen had not told her anything and she had instead heard it from someone else.
In the western courtyard, she snorted and removed the check on the collar behind her husband's robe. Baili Qingchen hastily tidied up her appearance so that the passing servant did not see her like a kitten her mother had evicted. The man turned around, standing firmly in front of Qingyi.
“Why did you hide it from me?” ask Qingyi. “Do you think I'm dead?”
“No. Not so.”
That's not what Baili Qingchen meant. The notice came in secret and he did not want to let Qingyi get involved anymore. The road ahead is very dangerous.
There have been too many assassination attempts on the woman because she interfered a lot. However, it seems like his efforts were in vain. Qingyi finally knew it. Once he found out, he must have been forced to get involved again and again.
“I just don't want you to get hurt again. Your life there is only one, if that person finds a chance, you will not survive.”
“So, you think I'll die that easily?”
“No! Without my permission, you cannot die!”
Who wants his death? Baili Qingchen did this to save her life. Qingyi had already become the enemy of many people, and whenever she could be in danger.
Baili Qingchen did not expect that to happen, she just wanted her empress to live a quiet life like the other kings empresses, who lived well and without the threat of life. Qingyi was still in an annoyed fashion. He stared at Baili Qingchen sharply and fully inquisitively.
Strange, his notification letter came in secret and the inspection should also be a secret, yet why would Consort Jia be able to find out? Could it be that someone purposely leaked it?
“What did Emperor Baili tell you to hide it from me?”
Baili Qingchen shook her head. “I purposely hid it from you. I don't want you jumping into danger anymore.”
Suddenly Qingyi clucked and made Baili Qingchen startled.
“Ckck....I captured and destroyed the headquarters of Litao Pavilion. The little rice ball was also saved by me. Don't I also have the right to interfere?”
“Women cannot enter the Imperial High Court and become investigators.”
“Then, make me an official only.”
His words got a sharp glare from Baili Qingchen. Just yummy! Women, especially those like Qingyi, can enter the court. There was only one Qingyi in the world and only Baili Qingchen could have one.
Qingyi belonged to Baili Qingchen, not to the public. Only Baili Qingchen could see him up close and get along with him, interacting all day with him. Princess Consort Changle belonged to King Changle, not to the Imperial High Court.
“Only! My Empress's daughter is not a public property.”
Baili Qingchen's possessive attitude had improved since their relationship had changed from mere husband and wife in status. I don't know since when Qingyi felt that the man who was originally cold like the north pole and more annoying than Yinghao became so close to her.
The man took the time to come to his residence every day and occasionally stole a kiss from him. He was sometimes uneasy because Baili Qingchen always acted unexpectedly.
“Ah, stop. Don't talk about anything else. Waiter, bring the man here!”
Two male servants then came over while carrying someone. The corner of Baili Qingchen's eyes twitched and her eyeballs enlarged as the already battered person's face looked up.
His expression begged for mercy, staring softly at Baili Qingchen. Every now and then the person grimaced as the marks of the punch on his face throbbed.
“Gao Lian?” baili Qingchen said in disbelief.
Gao Lian said softly, “Your Majesty..”
“If I didn't know, would you let this guy escape from the imperial city?”
As a man, he felt his pride torn apart, but the empress's quick response was also not to blame. Instead, he deserves a compliment.
Qingyi's thoughts were in harmony with Baili Qingchen's. A traitor in the Imperial High Court was not just an ordinary minor official. That person must have held the power until he could rule secretly and carry out his actions easily. At that place, Gao Lian was the main suspect worth suspecting.
Moreover, he left the moment Baili Qingchen inspected, as if he already knew King Changle was coming. Baili Qingchen did a pull-out trick, while Qingyi caught and tied it directly. The woman acted without wasting much time and energy.
“Minister Gao, is this the urgent matter you need to resolve until you do not come to the Imperial High Court?”
Question Baili Qingchen contains a sword. Gao Lian immediately looked down listlessly. His strength had already been exhausted from being beaten by the Empress Princess when he was about to go outside the imperial city.
Gao Lian had been very careful, but he had underestimated the people from King Changle's mansion.
Gao Lian knew she could not escape anymore. As far as he ran, the emperor's side would definitely chase after him. No matter how well he hid, the King and Princess Empress Changle would definitely find him. Gao Lian was already on the edge, her fate was already unable to have any more luck.
“Your Majesty, I was forced to do it, really,” Gao Lian said with a gloomy look. His heart was filled with guilt.
Really, he didn't mean to do it on purpose. Gao Lian was forced to do that. He was asked for help by someone.
The person said that his master had his weaknesses and if he did not want to be leaked, Gao Lian would have to do something for him. The man said that he had placed two officials as his spies and was ready to act under orders.
Gao Lian was basically a coward. With such a threat, he instantly complied and the two people in question were called.
Those two people were the two officials arrested today, they released the head of Litao Pavilion from the prison. Gao Lian was afraid that she was being suspected, so she pretended to have urgent business.
“Oh, cliche reasons. Let me guess, that guy said he had your weakness and planned to leak it if you didn't comply, didn't he?” seloroh Qingyi was caught off guard by the drama of the people in this world.
Gao Lian looked down again. He is not strong to match the prestige of this great husband and wife. It felt like his entire life energy had evaporated.
Gao Lian knew the consequences of her own actions, she felt very guilty for obeying that person's orders and betraying the Imperial High Court. As a minister, he had stained his own conscience.
“What did he tell you?” ask Baili Qingchen.
“The man knew I had a child outside who was born to an entertainer. He threatened to tell my family and make it destroyed.”
“Basic men! Already this old is still interested in finding young leaves? Do you believe I can make you impotent forever?” taunted Qingyi. “All men are the same!”
“Princess Queen, calm yourself! Not all men are as you think,” interrupted Baili Qingchen who did not accept her juxtaposed with the brat-nose men who are jerks.
Qingyi grieves. “Oh? Aren't you just as perverted as them?”
Despite not accepting the so-called pervert, Baili Qingchen did not want to continue the debate. The man looked back at Gao Lian sharply.
It was undeniable that he was so disappointed this time. Gao Lian was one of the few ministers he could trust, but that trust was simply destroyed.
“Minister Gao, is that person Xian's concubine's errand?”
The one who could move Gao Lian aside from Emperor Baili and himself, must be one of his family. Gao Lian was surnamed Gao and she was still a relative of Gao Hui. Gao Lian widened, her body petrified.
“It seems, my guess is correct. Cui Kong's! Take this man to jail!”
Cui Kong leaped past the western courtyard wall and landed near Baili Qingchen. Two bodyguards showed up, then took Gao Lian to the High Court prison followed by Cui Kong. Cui Kong unceasingly shook his head. Unexpectedly, this time his king was preceded by his empress again.
“Huh, I expected nothing good from those two families!”
“You didn't trust Gao Lian from the beginning?” ask Baili Qingchen. He recalled that he had previously met Gao Lian with Qingyi.
“Do I look like someone who easily drops trust?”
“True too. There are very few people you can trust and I'm lucky to be a part of that little bit.”
“I tell you, yes, narcissism is a disease. Later, never think to hide anything from me.”
“So you're not angry anymore? Can I sleep at your place tonight?”
Alarm alarms sounding. Qingyi retreated away, staring horror at her husband who was now looking at her with interest. Baili Qingchen was like a hungry wolf finding its prey. Holy hooch! Why did this man change faster than usual?
“No. My place is not an inn that can be reserved all you want.”
But his rejection is useless. Baili Qingchen acted quickly by holding her like a sack of rice and carrying her into Qingyi's room.
The woman shouted while rebelling, beating the formidable back of Baili Qingchen. In vain, it is useless. “Das pervert! Quickly put me down!”
