My Lady Is Not A Demon

The double-eave and Xieshan-style roof is covered with golden yellow glazed tiles, shining brightly in the morning light, filled with luxurious dreams.

The drizzle slanted outside Fengyuan Palace.

The stagnant water quietly cascaded down along the slanted eaves, as if pulling up a curtain of mist, dyeing bursts of hazy turbidity.

"This rain will never end."

In front of the desk full of paperwork, the queen dowager in a thin shirt was holding a green pen and was writing leisurely, seemingly in a good mood.

Bai Xianyu carefully took out the cinnabar ink from the brocade box, and said softly:

"It's also strange that when Chen Mu's handling of the case in Qingyu County was about to end last time, it was raining for two consecutive days."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother chuckled lightly: "Why, I'm starting to be anxious?"

Bai Xianyu blushed pretty.

Two days have passed since the case of the Pingyang Palace. As expected, the case caused a sensation among the government and the public. It also caused a heated discussion among the people.

As for the resurrection of King Binh Duong, the court did not mention it.

However, there are still some Eight Trigrams circulated among the people, both true and false, making people confused and just treating it as fun.

The finishing work of the case was handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department for processing.

When many officials thought that the Queen Mother would supervise the case, they did not expect that the Queen Mother would give the young emperor full power, and she was in a bystander position.

Several ministers in the DPRK and China are also in a complicated mood.

Everyone knows that the entanglement between the Pingyang Palace and the little emperor is quite deep, and the kinship is also somewhat complicated. Normally, he should be taboo.

After all, the profit person who assassinated the Queen Mother in Pingyang Palace must be the little emperor.

Even the mastermind behind the scenes may be involved.

But now the queen mother has greatly asked the little emperor to supervise the case and support the emperor in front of the ministers, which is quite intriguing.

But Bai Xianyu didn't care about these, she only cared about Chen Mu.

In the past two days, there has been a lot of discussion inside and outside the country, and the case is in full swing, but very few people mention Chen Mu, as if Chen Mu is a transparent person.

Although Bai Xianyu knew what was going on, she was rather impatient in her heart.

Then I couldn't help but remind the queen mother.

"It's been a long time since I was so leisurely."

The empress dowager put down the green pen, squinted her eyes and relaxed. The light shirt like cicada wings could not conceal her proud figure.

"Xiao Yu'er, see how the word Ai Jia is written?"

Bai Xianyu smiled bitterly, staring at it.

The empress dowager's characters are very beautiful, graceful and feminine, like everybody's lady.

It's just that it is a bit contrary to her identity, and there is no harshness between the strokes of the words, which is extremely inconsistent with her personality.

When Bai Xianyu finished reading the four lines of poem written on it, she was stunned.

‘I didn’t see the ancients before, and I didn’t see the people behind. Thinking of the leisure of heaven and earth, but sullenly! ’

This is a poem by an unknown Taoist priest.

Since this poem was used by some people to spread rumors, she has investigated, but unfortunately she never found the unknown Taoist priest.

The gorgeous and coquettish queen mother smiled: "This talent is really amazing."

Bai Xianyu whispered: "Xiaoyu will check as soon as possible—"

"There is no need to deliberately check."

The Queen Mother laughed, "Since the Aijia came to power, many literati who can't understand the Aijia secretly arrange them. As long as they come out one or two poems that look sad and lonely, they think that this person is unrequited and expresses his feelings.

Then started crazy brain supplements, making up countless outrageous and funny stories.

They are not the roundworms in the belly of these poets, how can they be so sure that the other party is really suppressed by the mourning family, so that they can express their feelings? "

Bai Xianyu also laughed: "What the Queen Mother said is."

"In fact, with the exception of some real nerds, some of the others are very good at it. It's rare to have a topic to create. How can I do it without adding fire?"

The empress dowager squinted her cat-like eyes, and said in a chatty tone. "So, the fire of the Pingyang Prince's Mansion was sent to them by Aijia, and let them burn it by themselves, to see what they could burn."Baixianyu hangs its head down: "The Queen Mother is wise."

"What is wise and not wise, is not irritated by those old and pedantic."

The empress dowager sighed, and she stroked the white paper with her jade fingers peeling off green onions, "I heard that your Majesty has been upset and uneasy for the past two days. Even if you didn't sleep last night, it was hard for him."

Bai Xianyu kept silent with interest.

His Majesty was really depressed over the past two days. After all, it was the first time he took over such a major case, and he had something to do with him.

Every step was handled carefully, and even came to Fengyuan Palace yesterday for humbly inquiries.

"About Ji Zhonghai's resurrection..."

White Feather frowned. "Just hold it down?"

The Queen Mother said lightly: "You underestimate the influence of this person. If news of his resurrection spreads, there will really be troubles at the border, and it will also be a big blow to the majesty of the royal family. You must understand that faith is the most terrible. of.

In addition, from the results of the investigation, the Pingyang Palace clearly has some plans, depending on whether your Majesty is willing to investigate further. "

She stretched out her hand to treat the little blue silk in front of Li Baixianyu's forehead, and changed the subject:

"To tell you the truth, Chen Mu's kid is really good. The Ai family had underestimated him before. It didn't take long for him to solve such a big case in Beijing."

Bai Xianyu whispered: "Chen Mu has always been very capable."

Capturing a touch of pride and tenderness in the woman's eyes, the empress dowager smiled and said, "It seems that your girl really has feelings for him."

Hearing this, Bai Xianyu's face suddenly changed.

She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but seeing the lifelessness on the queen mother's face, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"He contributed a lot to this case, but..."

The queen mother Meimu looked at the window of Lingling carved flowers, and said in silence for a moment. "Let's see how your Majesty grants the reward first, and I will consider it later."

"Yes." Bai Xianyu nodded gently.

Seeing the girl looked sad, the queen mother was amused: "Aren't you going to pretend to be in front of Lai's family? Is that kid really that good?"

"He... is not good."

Thinking of Chen Mu's bloated intestines, Bai Xianyu curled her red lips lightly, with a little bit of resentment.

The queen mother waved her hand helplessly: "Forget it, you just need to take a good sense. But the Aijia is a little puzzled, why Chen Mu is so smart, why haven't you teared your disguise. Is it really foolish or pretending to be stupid?"

"He really doesn't know who I am, because... he doesn't want to investigate."

Bai Xianyu said bitterly.

The Queen Mother was right. Given Chen Mu's cleverness, if he really wanted to investigate his wife around him, it would be clear within a few days of coming to Beijing.

But he didn't want to investigate, he just treated it with a normal heart.

There was a thought-provoking smile on the corner of the queen mother's lips: "In other words, he really doesn't care, he just treats you as an ordinary wife."

Bai Xianyu was silent.

It's not so much that you don't care, it's that the two are evading and accommodating each other.

The Queen Mother laughed: "It's funny, if that's the case, let's go with the flow. One day he will know who you are, but I want to see what kind of expression he was like at that time."

what expression……

Bai Xianyu sighed secretly.

She would rather not come this day, at least not before Chen Mu has really risen, and give each other more time.

"In the case of Prince Tanuki, some news can be released appropriately."

A cold light appeared in the queen mother's eyes.

Bai Xianyu was startled, converging other emotions, and said sternly: "Understood."

——

The drizzle flew down from the sky, like a thread, endless.

Boss Su, dressed in a coarse cloth, stood silently in front of the railing on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at the pedestrians passing by on the street, his brows frowned.

"I guess he won't show up anymore."

Chen Mu picked up the wine bowl and said lightly.

After the case of Pingyang Prince's Mansion came to an end two days ago, Hong Zhifan chatted with him for a few words and disappeared, as if evaporated.

After learning of the circumstances of the case, Boss Su immediately searched the capital, but unfortunately nothing was gained.

During the period, Chen Mu also sent a six-door patrol, but no one was found.

"He will show up."

Boss Su's eyes scanned the passing pedestrians with a sure tone.

Chen Mu curled his lips without saying anything, and looked at Su Qiao'er who was bored stretching his waist and practicing exercises on the other side.

The girl in the emerald pink dress seemed to be cultivating a kind of physical exercise, with a focused expression, her waist like a willow twisted into an amazingly flexible arc.

"This waist is really a snake waist."

Chen Mu licked his lips, secretly admiring, he had already practiced 108 kinds of moves that could not be expressed in words.

Just having a good time, Boss Su came back and sat in front of him.

Chen Mu hurriedly sat up straight, without squinting, showing the appearance of an upright gentleman.

"Did he tell you anything else?" Boss Su asked.

Other things……

Chen Mu fell into memory.

After coming out of the mausoleum at that time, Hong Zhifan took the initiative to find him, and the two discussed some things.

For example, the Hong family tragedy that year.

At that time, it was Ji Zhonghai who brought a group of masters to encircle Hong's house, and his purpose was simple, to keep the secret of the "Living Dead Gu" and kill the prince.

That is, the silly child fostered by the mysterious person in Hong's house.

Regarding whether the silly child is a prince or not, Hong Zhifan himself is not sure about it.

The mysterious person left the child in their home. The child did not cry or make trouble, just like a puppet.

It's normal to eat, drink and sleep, but it's like losing one's soul.

Later, Ji Zhonghai came to encircle and suppress. He and his wife wanted to rush out with their daughter and the silly boy first, but they were intercepted halfway.

At the critical moment of life, it was his wife who saved his life with his own soul.

But the daughter and the silly boy disappeared.

In these days pretending to be Hong Dalang, in addition to plotting revenge, he was also secretly looking for his daughter's traces, but unfortunately there was still no news.

"Before the case of the Pingyang Palace was solved, he had some plans, so he kept Lin Mengyuan lurking beside Ji Kou."

Chen Mu said lightly. "It's just that I was upset, and in the process of his secret investigation, there was a very scary guess, but it has not been confirmed so far, and there is no way to confirm it after Ji Zhonghai's death."

"What guess?" Boss Su asked curiously.

Chen Mu pulled the stool forward and lowered his voice: "Back then, Prince Yuan had only one wife. The couple were extremely affectionate, but the two never had children. The princess also suggested several times that Prince Yuan should have a concubine. There is no agreement.

Although he did not accept a concubine, at the request of the princess, Prince Yuan still found two women to have a husband-and-wife relationship and wanted a child, but unfortunately they did not succeed.

Afterwards, many genius doctors were found to speculate on the reasons for the physique of the prince Yuan, who was unable to bear children. "

Boss Su's eyes burst into sharp light instantly.

He opened his mouth and said with a hoarse voice: "In other words, the child born to Princess Yuan, the current emperor, may have something to do with Ji Zhonghai?"

"It's hard to say."

Chen Mu shook his head. "I have been thinking that Ji Zhonghai's behavior is obviously delusional to become the emperor, but how much capital does he have to sit on the dragon chair after his resurrection?

Even at the border, he still has followers of faith, and even in the capital, he has bought many officials. Even if he kills the queen mother, it is not so easy to become an emperor after all.

Unless, he can turn the current emperor into a puppet, and he controls it behind the scenes.

You know that this is a world where monsters are rampant, and the bloodlines of father and son can make a fuss about getting some Gu or something..."

Chen Mu stopped talking and did not continue.

Although there are no observers around now, some topics are still appropriate.

Su Lao Avenue: "Did you tell Vermillion Bird about this matter?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "After all, it's just Eight Trigrams guessing. If you want to say it, Hong Zhifan would have said it. Now that Ji Zhonghai is dead, everything is meaningless. Don't you understand the meaning of the queen mother? As early as 15 years ago, Ji Zhonghai Has passed away from illness."

Elder Su smiled: "Although I don't understand some politics in the court, I think that even if you tell the queen mother, she will assume that nothing happens."

"That's true."

Chen Mu laughed. "After all, in name, the emperor is her son, not the son of Prince Yuan."

When the first emperor brought the baby out of Prince Yuan’s mansion, he had already severed the relationship with Prince Yuan, so this Eight Trigrams didn’t need to be studied after Ji Zhonghai’s death."This time you broke the case of the Pingyang Palace. It can be said that you have made a great contribution. How do you think the emperor will reward you."

Boss Su asked curiously.

Su Qiao'er, who was practicing physical training on the other side, came up and said with a smile: "Or, you go ask the emperor for ten beautiful women, he will definitely give them."

"Hehe, am I that kind of person?"

Chen Mu sneered. "It's not easy to say that I, Mr. Chen, have never been a person who is greedy for beauty, not to mention ten beauties, or a hundred beauties, I don't even look at it, I am a decent person."

"Cut, who believes you are a serious person."

Su Qiao'er gave a fair look.

Looking at the little girl's rosy lips, Chen Mu originally wanted to molest him, but he glanced at the old man and had to give it up, and said with a stern expression:

"It's a bit difficult. I haven't been in Beijing for many days. It's a bit unrealistic to add an official to be a nobleman suddenly, and the most important thing is that I step on two boats. , So ah, at most it is a reward of gold or something."

As he was talking, Wang Fafa's voice came from outside the door: "My lord!"

"What's wrong."

Chen Mu looked at Wang Fa who ran in panting and asked.

"Go up! Go up!"

Wang Fafa's face was full of excitement.

Chen Mu was taken aback: "Who gave birth?"

Wang Fafa was delighted: "My lord, you have been promoted."

"..."

The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched twice, and he almost slapped him. Daddy gave birth to your uncle!

He got up and said, "Master is going to take the order."

——

Fengyuan Palace.

The empress dowager and Bai Xianyu, who had finished their calligraphy, sat at the table leisurely sipping tea.

Not long after, a female officer hurried over, knelt on the ground, and presented a secret letter.

"Queen Mother, there is news."

"Oh, it seems that your majesty has already considered how to reward your husband."

The empress dowager received the secret letter, waved to the female officer to retreat, and smiled at Bai Xianyu. "Guess what, how old did you get promoted?"

Baixianyu's pink lips pressed lightly, and he thought for a while and said, "I shouldn't be promoted."

"wrong."

The empress dowager opened the secret letter, and the phoenix raised her eyebrows, smiling like a flower. "Your husband was promoted to the head catcher of the six doors, and Leng Tianying was transferred elsewhere, and he would say that in the future, your husband alone has the final say on the six doors."

Bai Xianyu was stunned.

She raised her eyebrows and carefully considered her majesty's intentions.

"in addition……"

There was a playful smile on the corners of the queen mother's lips. "Your Majesty also rewarded your husband with two beauties."

Bai Xianyu was startled, rather speechless: "Your Majesty..."

"After all, he is a child's disposition. He is purely trying to disgust you and your husband."

The Queen Mother smiled. "Then guess, did your husband want it?"

"Chen Mu didn't dare to resist the decree."

Bai Xianyu picked up the tea cup and drank a bit of bitter tea, but his eyes were faint. "And he is not a serious person."

"...Then you guessed wrong, he refused."

The empress dowager smiled sweetly.

Hearing this, Bai Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly felt that the tea in her mouth was no longer bitter.

"However, he ordered ten beauties."

"puff--"

The tea spurted out, and Bai Xianyu's face was as black as coke.
