MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 142 protocol
What? ! Doesn't Bai Qingyang know? ? !
Yang Dejin yelled at the person next to her: "What's going on? Haven't you told her yet?"
Xie Zhi was puzzled: "I thought you would tell her."
Yang Dejin was even more inexplicable: "Why do you think so?"
Xie Zhi: "After all, you told Her Majesty the Queen not long after you learned my secret, didn't you?"
Yang Dejin gave a guilty uh, then asked Li Zichou, "Then why didn't you tell her?"
Li Zichou said innocently: "I thought Xie Zhi would tell."
"..."
"..."
Bai Qingyang frowned: "That's enough, what are you going to say? Why are you three keeping something from me?"
Yang Dejin and Xie Zhi looked at each other.
Yang Dejin: "Actually, I am a woman."
Bai Qingyang: "?"
Xie Zhi: "Actually, I am also a woman."
Bai Qingyang: "??"
Bai Qingyang slowly lowered his folded hands, looked the two of them up and down, was so shocked that he suspected that he was dreaming. She hesitated to speak, stopped to speak but wanted to, didn't know where to start to ask, finally she just turned her head and asked Li Zichou: "Are you a man or a woman?"
Li Zishou: "..."
Li Zishou: "Female."
"real?"
"..."
Li Zichou really wanted to say that if she didn't believe it, he could verify it by himself, but thinking of Bai Qingyang's super straight show of love to her just now in the side hall, he had no choice but to swallow his words and rephrase: "It's true."
After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong. She took the place of Li Fu, which was a lie.
Bai Qingyang could understand that Yang Dejin concealed her gender. After all, she and Li Zifu had a lot of things to hide, but Xie Zhi also kept it from her for so long, Bai Qingyang was somewhat unhappy.
"Xie Zhi, sit down."
"..."
Well, the artillery fire has shifted to her.
Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi sat facing each other, while the other two sat in the spectator seats. Yang Dejin also asked the maid outside the hall if she wanted fried melon seeds, and ate it as if it had nothing to do with herself.
Bai Qingyang: "Let me explain."
Xie Zhi: "...in order to stay in the officialdom, I have to do this."
"But in my previous life, after I became emperor, the restriction on women's entry into the court was reopened. You still haven't confessed to me."
"Because...because it's not important anymore..."
"You can obviously tell me earlier, and it will save you from suffering so much."
"Compared with me, you have suffered more than anything."
"...Does Aunt know?"
"she does not know."
"Who did you hide from?"
"I kept it from everyone." After a pause, Xie Zhi continued, "Teacher knows."
"Really..." When Bai Xun was mentioned, Bai Qingyang became quiet, then pointed at the two people beside him, "Then how did they know?"
Xie Zhi also looked at them: "This..."
Someone who met her meaningful eyes: ... dead memories suddenly started attacking me!
Xie Zhi: "Yang Dejin knew that it was because I accidentally broke her real body before, and in order to appease her, I had no choice but to reveal my identity."
Yang Dejin slandered: You better be unintentional...
Bai Qingyang: "Then Li Zizhi...?"
Yang Dejin: "I told her..."
Bai Qingyang looked at Li Zichou again: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Li Zishou still said the same sentence: "I thought Xie Zhi would say it."
Bai Qingyang: "..."
Li Zichou also made up the knife: "I didn't expect to be so slow in responding to this kind of thing."
Bai Qingyang: "..."
So in the end, she was the only one who didn't know? ? Obviously she is the one who has known Xie Zhi for the longest time... And why is this feeling so familiar to everyone around her but only to herself being kept in the dark? !
Bai Qingyang was angry in his heart, seeing the guys who acted innocently, he became even more furious.
"After the mission is over, you must immediately go back to see my mother." Bai Qingyang ordered Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi nodded: "Of course, after all, my teacher's wife is also my half-aunt, so Yang Dejin must see her."
Bai Qingyang was speechless: "...I want you to go back and confess to Auntie!"
It was only then that Xie Zhi came to his senses: "Oh..."
Li Zishou: It's so fierce.
Yang Dejin: Awesome.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yang Dejin still asked, "Speaking of which, Xie Zhi, when did you come back? Did the mission go well?"
"Oh, that's right," Xie Zhi remembered now, and said to Bai Qingyang, "I returned to the capital today, and I have something important to give to you." She took out two brown passports from her bosom Rolls of sheepskin, spread out on a small table.
Bai Qingyang glanced roughly, his face brightened, "Is it an agreement?"
Xie Zhi hummed: "After Yeluyi drew it up, he didn't even hand it over to the Wang court for audit, but directly stamped the king's seal and handed it over to me."
Bai Qingyang: "It can be seen that he is very sincere."
Xie Zhi: "That's why I went back to Beijing secretly by myself, just to hand over the armistice agreement to the Queen Regent."
Yang Dejin: "Don't you need to discuss it with the ministers?"
Xie Zhi handed one of them to her to read: "This is the result after discussion."
Yang Dejin asked after browsing: "So, with this contract, can the war be terminated?"
Xie Zhi: "Yes, as long as Dasheng's imperial seal is printed on it, the agreement will take effect immediately."
Li Zishou: "The national seal has the highest effect in the diplomatic documents. No matter how unwilling the grassland people are, they can only withdraw their troops."
Yang Dejin: "That's great."
Bai Qingyang: "Remuneration, if you have no objection to the content of this agreement, how about signing it?"
Li Zishou: "I don't have any objections, but now that you are the real power holder in Dasheng, you should sign this contract."
"I can't speak for Dasheng."
"you can."
"I am only temporarily imprisoning the country. I signed the agreement without the approval of the court. I am suspected of conspiracy."
"What's the matter? All the princes in Shuobei have done this."
"Yeluyi is the crown prince of the grassland, and I'm just the queen regent of Dasheng, even with your permission..."
"You don't need anyone's permission to do things."
"..."
"And all along, you have been in charge of Shuobei's affairs. I have no reason to take your credit and achievements."
Li Zichou and Bai Qingyang argued, and the two people next to him were taken aback for a while.
Yang Dejin: "What do you mean? What are they arguing about?"
Xie Zhi didn't figure it out either, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Li Zishou's intention was obvious, she wanted this agreement to take effect in Bai Qingyang's name, Yang Dejin and Xie Zhi didn't understand why, but Bai Qingyang did.
After a while, Bai Qingyang compromised and said, "Okay, I'll sign."
Bai Qingyang asked someone to fetch her phoenix seal, solemnly stamped it on the sheepskin scroll, and stamped his own handprint on the end of the scroll.
Yang Dejin pointed at the wet ink pad on the roll with her finger: "Is that all right?"
Xie Zhi patted her hand away, rewound the sheepskin roll, and answered yes.
The agreement was in duplicate, one was kept in Bai Qingyang's hands, and the other was sent back to the grassland for safekeeping by Yeluyi.
"It's getting late, since we've said what's important and what's not, let's go back to our homes." Li Zichou said suddenly.
Bai Qingyang looked at her: "What is important? What is not important?"
Li Zichou was silent for a second, then turned to Yang Dejin and said, "You are afraid of the dark, shall I take you back?" Then he dragged Yang Dejin out of the hall.
"Hey? Wait..."
In the end, Li Zichou asked Bai Qingyang: "I'll just give her up, will you agree?"
Bai Qingyang stared at Li Zishou quietly, looking at Li Zishou until he was at a loss, then smiled: "Of course."
Li Zichou breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Yang Dejin out of Yuheng Palace. Bai Qingyang came to the gate of the palace and watched the two figures go away with normal expression.
Xie Zhi followed behind: "He's gone."
"Ok."
"you're not feeling OK?"
"not bad."
"real?"
Bai Qingyang hummed again: "At least this time, she didn't push me away without hesitation."
Xie Zhi was silent, but still didn't ask her what method she used to sway the stubborn empress. It's better not to inquire about the private affairs between these two people.
"Then I'll go first, Yeluyi is still waiting for the contract, I have to deliver it quickly." Xie Zhi said while turning on the lamp again.
"So anxious?"
"You know, it's about the stability of the Central Plains and the grasslands. I have to do these things myself."
"You and Yang Dejin haven't spoken a few words, so why don't you say goodbye?"
Speaking of Yang Dejin, Xie Zhi couldn't help laughing when he thought of the casual kiss just now: "No need, she will probably be angry, but it's not incomprehensible. I'll make an apology to her later."
"That's great..." Bai Qingyang showed envious eyes.
"You don't have to worry too much, Her Majesty the Queen cares about you."
"I know, haste makes waste, and I will let her love me willingly."
Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows and said nothing, "I will submit the agreement to Yeluyi as soon as possible, and in five days at most, the grassland will retreat."
"In the middle of the month... Thanks to your help, the agreement was reached so quickly."
"What are you talking about? This is what we should do."
"I'll see you off."
"Then let's talk as we go."
Friends for many years walked on the quiet and deserted palace road, and the temperature was very low in winter nights, but the two of them looked calm and did not feel the chill in their bones.
"How is the preparation for the suburban ceremony?"
"Everything is ready."
"Is the state affairs still manageable?"
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
"That's still the same." Xie Zhi chuckled, and said, "They're really incredible."
"Who said it wasn't..."
Because the arrival of Li Zishou and Yang Dejin brought so many changes to the world, he thought he would fall into the quagmire of pain again, but in the end it triggered a rare opportunity.
Probably they are really the darlings of this world, and God can't bear to give them an unfortunate end.
"Or through the back wall?"
"Let's go to the back wall. Now that I'm going out of the palace, my colleagues will probably be alarmed again." Xie Zhi thought for a while, "It's not too late to notify them after the mission is over."
Bai Qingyang looked at the clear and clear night sky in the cold winter, his tone was a little funny, and the heat from his breath turned into white mist and dispersed in the air: "It's rare to use the back wall once, and unexpectedly caught those two people."
Xie Zhi also smiled knowingly: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet. The exit is so secret, I don't know how they found it."
"I thought Jingyang Palace had been abandoned for a long time, and no one approached it. I didn't expect them to find it."
"There are plenty of opportunities to ask." Xie Zhi looked at the Jingyang Palace on the other side of the palace wall.
The location of the palaces in this area is very remote, and they are often used as cold palaces, shutting up those concubines who are not favored or have made big mistakes. Maybe even now, there are still old people of Emperor Lie living in them.
Thinking of this, something flashed into Xie Zhi's mind. She pointed to the dilapidated palace next to her, and asked abruptly, "This is the Jingyang Palace?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"During the rebellion of the two kings, the former crown princess was also imprisoned here with all the concubines, right?"
Bai Qingyang didn't understand, so he nodded: "That's right, that's what Ji Zhuilu said."
"Jingyang Hall is here," Xie Zhi pointed to the side, and then pointed to the end in front, "and the secret exit is at the corner not far away."
Bai Qingyang was stunned: "You mean to say, where did the former crown princess escape?"
Xie Zhi: "He also brought the Crown Prince's Seal and Emperor Lie's secret edict. It is estimated that Emperor Lie knew something and sent her away on purpose."
Bai Qingyang also pondered and said: "For the battle between the princes, the Lie Emperor has always turned a blind eye to it."
"Survival of the fittest, the reason why he acquiesced in this kind of private fighting is probably because he wants to know who can stand out?"
"Who would have expected that the sick and weak King Jin would become the victor?" Bai Qingyang said, "Emperor Lie let them fight with a stand-by attitude. When he wanted to intervene, his sons would have already Each withered and died."
"Those who didn't die were also deprived of their royal status and expelled from the ancestral hall. They will never have the surname Li."
"Thinking about it this way, it seems understandable that the pregnant former princess can get his blessing."
Xie Zhi: "I pried out that exit from the mouth of an official of the Ministry of Industry, including the hidden underground palace of the imperial mausoleum. I thought those craftsmen dug it privately. Now it seems that there must be Emperor Lie's inspiration."
"It's also because of his own inaction that he indirectly buried his sons, and even caused the world-shocking rebellion of the two kings."
"However, it's not our turn to worry about these."
"Yes…"
The author has something to say:
Bai Qingyang: I will let her love me willingly. (this chapter)
Xie Zhi: I am not afraid of the world's tongue, I am afraid that the one I love will be hurt by it. (previous chapter)
Yang Dejin: Then can you give me unreserved love? (previous chapter)
