Chapter 79: I want to pay Yaoqin my mind
Why did it end before it even started?
In the joyful palace, Xu Bai felt that he was a little out of place. This was a major event that he had always planned and tried to participate in. Sometimes, he had even imagined that he led his own gang of subordinates to attack Nangong with passion and welcomed the restoration of the emperor out of the Nangong at some point.
But what has he done now?
To be precise, in this destined success of the "Seal Strike", he did nothing. The only thing he did was to take the risk before and quietly enter Nangong once, show his presence in front of Zhu Qizhen, and then be sent directly to King Yi to protect King Yi.
He was in Zhu Qizhen's heart at this moment, and he probably wasn't as good as the one who rushed to report the news, and then sent him to the palace to hook up with Shi Heng. As a result, he colluded with Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang overnight to launch this "coup".
The weapons purchased secretly from Nanjing, a group of guards who were ready to go, and even Ha Ming and Xu Baizhan who were actively planning outside the palace, all of these preparations and responses were not useful.
Overnight, the dragon throne in the palace had already been replaced by the owner.
Even Yu Qian and King Xiang's faction, who had been secretly regarded as enemies by Xu Bai, were taken down by Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne without even making any waves.
All Zhu Qizhen's loyalty and old subordinates did not give up any strength during the restoration process, and all the credit was taken away by Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng.
He knew that this coup would undoubtedly succeed, and Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianshenyi would definitely become the masters of the Ming Dynasty. However, Xu Bai couldn't help but sigh that such a coup was too easy and too scammer!
There is no doubt that the new emperor in the palace will soon be rewarded by merit after stabilizing the court. Xu Bai even doubted whether he and his brothers could be on the list of merit rewards. Maybe, maybe, please ask the new crown prince, King Yi, to mention it to the emperor?
However, to be honest, Xu Bai's heart was not much regret except for these sighs and surprises.
This is not the force that has been carried out after the matter has developed to such a level, but in his heart, he really feels that he has not participated in this matter deeply and he really doesn’t regret it.
This idea was probably after he entered Nangong at night and saw Zhu Qizhen with his own eyes. When he arrived at King Yi and found that King Yi's reliance and expectations for him far exceeded that of Zhu Qizhen, the idea became even stronger.
To be fair, an emperor who ruined the 200,000 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and a man who knocked on the door under the pressure of the enemy did not seem to have anything to follow. Xu Bai saw not only this, but also an emperor who had been banned in the high walls of the deep palace for seven years and was full of resentment towards everyone; an emperor who was mean and ruthless and could not see any kindness.
It is hard for Xu Bai to imaginate what he will get, what he will become in the future, and what kind of result will be in the end.
If he is really an ordinary hidden guard, there is no need to worry about this issue, just obey the superior order.
Unfortunately, he is not.
All the entanglements disappeared immediately after he came into contact with Queen Yi. Yes, for Zhu Qizhen, he was just a "usable person". He was a little bit light and could not change any of Zhu Qizhen's decision to do. However, as long as he wanted, there were still many things he could do.
And King Yi is the crown prince, a crown prince who is destined to ascend to the emperor.
That's enough!
I don’t know how long the wind blew in the pavilion outside. When he came out of the pavilion, he felt as if he had put down all his burdens and his whole body felt much more relaxed. This way, it was somewhat consistent with the joyful atmosphere of everyone in the palace.
Everyone in the inner courtyard was busy, and Xu Bai didn't know what they were busy with. Anyway, they were so happy that they didn't know what to do. Except for Xu Bai and his subordinates, the palace maids and eunuchs who followed King Yi in the inner courtyard of the royal palace have been trembling as if walking on thin ice in the past few years. Everyone's head was covered with a dark cloud. At this moment, the dark clouds were gone, and even if they did nothing, it was a time worth their excitement.
King Yi took Wan Zhen'er and walked around excitedly. Wan Zhen'er was nodding frequently. Qin Ji and his group of eunuchs were doing some hard work and moving some things around.
"Aren't you going back to the palace?"
Xu Bai looked at June curiously, and the girl was under the eaves, as quiet as an autumn flower.
"No one wants me to go back to the palace. I still have a place to live here!" June looked up at him and said, "You don't seem very happy, because you were unable to stay in the palace last night?"
"Yes, no one in the palace can care about you at this moment. Those who can care about you will not care about you at this moment!" Xu Bai nodded, walked to her side, and lowered his head slightly: "Why am I unhappy? Your Highness has become the prince, and I have also risen. Maybe I can still get a job at half the position. This is a great joy!"
"I always feel like you have secrets!" June whispered and sighed: "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether there is a secret or not. Who doesn't have a secret!"
"Do you have a secret?" Xu Bai tilted his head and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll call you Princess respectfully in the future. I can't call you the lady in front of you anymore!"
"It's so boring to be a princess!" June suddenly let out a heavy breath, probably remembering the scene of Xu Bai calling her lady to wander around Nanjing City, and said with some depression: "Isn't you comfortable yet?"
Xu Bai smiled and said nothing. He couldn't accept such childish words.
"I don't want to go back to the palace!" June said depressedly: "It's messy everywhere. Even the guards have changed a lot of new faces. I don't know where so many people came from overnight. Even casually walking around will be investigated. Everyone has their own affairs, but it's like I am alone, forgotten by everyone!"
"If you don't want to go back, don't go back. It's good to live here for the time being!" Xu Bai said: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no time to pay attention to you at this moment. As long as they don't care, how long you stay in the Prince's Mansion will be a matter of whether you are willing or not!"
"It seems that everyone here has their own affairs. I feel that I am here, there is only a lot of people, except when I just brought news from the palace..."
June's nose felt a little sore, and his eyes almost turned red.
"I'm here!" Xu Bai said softly: "Look, aren't I still here to talk to you..."
