Chapter 584

The atmosphere in Dayong palace became more and more strange.

First of all, the emperor Baili Jingqi worked hard on state affairs like he didn't want to die, ranging from national taxation, military defense, and the mobilization of officials to local officials' assessment and promulgation of a series of decrees to improve the agricultural promotion, one by one, so that all the officials of the whole court were busy every day.

Although Bai Li Jing Qi himself seldom goes to the early court, he calls in many ministers every day, which makes many people watch his emperor lose weight.

Almost every time, someone can see Cao An carrying pills to the imperial study, and they don't even avoid people's eyes and ears. Even the legendary old man who made pills went into the imperial study like nobody. The importance of him in front of Baili Jingqi can be seen.

It's not that no one wants to see the queen.

Seeing that his emperor was addicted to alchemy, seeing that he didn't even want to die, some loyal ministers hoped that maybe they could persuade the queen.

However, whenever he went to see the queen, he was kept out of the palace. Huo Mingzhu never came out to see these ministers.

"What about your mother? Where is your mother? "

Bai Li Xin'er is still a little confused. She is crying to see her mother. Her white face is full of tears, and her small lips are even more attractive.

"Princess, the empress is not in the palace, and the maidservant doesn't know where the empress is..." the mother who had been with Huo Mingzhu was worried, and she didn't have the heart to lie to the little baby.

But the queen had an order that no one should disturb her. Even the princess and the prince, Mammy did not dare to let them in.

Bai Liyan stood behind his sister, looking at the little girl's face stained with tears, eyebrows slightly twisted him, came forward and gently grasped Bai lixin'er's little hand: "I'll play with you."

"Yes, yes, let the nurse take the princess and the prince to play together. If the empress comes back, I will report to her that you have been here, OK?"

Mammy's old face was full of wrinkles, and she wanted to cheat them out by saying something against her will.

Fortunately, Xin'er is a good coax, obedient one hand holding the nurse, one hand holding the brother, although the expression is not happy, but also did not make trouble to people.

Bailiyan took his sister to the garden, but he turned his head and looked at the closed door.

Huo Mingzhu did not leave. She was in the palace.

No matter whether it was an important official in the court or a couple of children who came to see her, Huo Mingzhu disappeared. Instead, he spent all day reading ancient books about healing and detoxification.

The whole palace can smell the strong herbal flavor, bitter and astringent, just like her heart.

Huo Mingzhu has never seen him since he sneaked into Baili Jingqi's imperial study that night. At least he never appeared in front of Cao An in the daytime.

She had been learning the alchemy from Taoist Bai Mei for a long time because she was devoted to raising children.

But now she regains everything she left behind in the past and sets up the alchemy furnace in her bedroom again without telling everyone. She also wants to find a way to live for a person.

However, the matter of alchemy can't be concealed for long. The herbs that need to be consumed every day are all things that can be seen on the surface. So the rumors about the evil Queen's misfortune to the country also came out, and Dayong was in a gloomy mood.
