"Remuneration." Bai Qingyang quietly poked his head from behind the screen.

Li Zichou pulled out his thoughts from the file and looked at her sideways: "Qing Yang."

Li Zichou seemed to be very busy, but Bai Qingyang saw that she had no intention of chasing her away, so he stepped forward: "I don't think Lu Xiaoying is here, so I came in by myself."

"All the palace people have been sent to rest by me." Li Zichou raised his hand, motioning for her to sit down, "It's okay, you don't need to report when you come."

"At least keep a few people who are on call at any time..." Bai Qingyang glanced at Li Zishou's chest, and his speaking speed slowed down for a while.

"I don't have anything for them to do." Sensing Bai Qingyang's slightly red face, Li Zifu asked again, "What's wrong Qingyang?"

"Ah?" Bai Qingyang hurriedly raised his head, met Li Zifu's gaze, and then looked away guiltily, "No...not at all."

Li Zishou should have just taken a bath, with hair draped behind his ears, floating with moisture, wearing only a thin black gauze, which was loosely wrapped around his chest, and a piece of satin was simply tied around his waist.

The large smooth collarbone, the looming chest, and the forearm that can be seen as soon as the hand is raised, all look very seductive in contrast with the pure black fabric.

Although nothing should have been revealed, it is inevitable that it will not attract people's daydreams.

Bai Qingyang had already looked away, but that scene seemed to be seared in her mind, becoming a scene she couldn't get rid of.

As long as her front placket is separated a little more...

Obviously having the same physical characteristics, Bai Qingyang shamefully blushed his ears.

"Um... er, Xiao, are you hot?"

Li Zichou was asked inexplicably: "How are you?"

"Oh…"

Li Zichou hadn't realized how much shock Bai Qingyang had received from his lazy attire, and seeing her flush from the base of her ears to her cheeks, he said, "I think you should be hotter?"

Bai Qingyang: "..."

She didn't blush so easily before, why on earth could she not control herself when she was with Li Zishou?

"Recently, the heat is getting weaker, so I don't ask people to carry ice." Li Zichou stood up, "If Qingyang feels hot, I'll ask someone to continue."

"Ah, no, no, it's not hot." Bai Qingyang quickly grabbed her sleeve, "It's just a little stuffy..."

The gauze slipped, and Li Zifu's front placket really parted a little, revealing more thin shoulders, neck and collarbone. Seeing this, Bai Qingyang withdrew his hand instantly, feeling a little annoyed and at a loss.

Hearing what she said, Li Zichou nodded, "Okay." By the way, he subconsciously raised his arms to return the collar to its original shape.

"What are you busy with?" Bai Qingyang didn't dare to look at her, and turned to look at Li Zichou's desk, "This is..."

Li Zichou: "It's a dossier."

Bai Qingyang picked up one of the volumes and read it carefully for a while: "Is it... my father's case?"

"yes."

"...Why did you think of taking it out again?"

Li Zifu sat down again: "I am very concerned about some points."

"What is it?"

Li Zichou shook his head: "I can't say."

"Really."

"Sorry, you..." Li Zichou noticed that Bai Qingyang was in a bad mood, and quickly apologized.

Bai Qingyang smiled, "It's okay, it's been a long time."

"Ching Yang..."

"Wai, don't show that expression, I'm fine."

Li Zichou was silent and just looked at her quietly.

It's this look again, Bai Qingyang thought to himself.

On the riverside on the night of the Ghost Festival, Li Zichou looked at her the same way.

It's not that no one has shown compassion to her, but only Li Zishou is special. In front of Li Zishou, she could feel that she was cherished and loved by others.

"The first emperor...my father, he did something wrong to Prime Minister Bai, and I will apologize to you and the late Prime Minister Bai on his behalf."

Bai Qingyang smiled wryly and shook his head.

What did Li Zichou do wrong again?

Bai Qingyang: "Everyone said that the late emperor had a rift with my father, so he used trumped-up charges to harm Aye."

"sorry."

"That's not what I meant." Bai Qingyang said, "Even though the late emperor is the most suspected, I haven't found any evidence to prove that he did it."

Li Zishou: "No evidence?"

Bai Qingyang hummed: "Not at all. I even heard that Emperor Jing didn't know about Aye's death until the next day.

"I also heard that Emperor Jing was furious and ordered the three ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly, and angered many ministers for this.

"It's a pity that A Niang and I were detained in Qinzhou at that time. We don't know the situation in the capital very well. Xie Zhi conveyed these to me."

After hearing this, Li Zichou suddenly realized that these were the original expressions mentioned by Yang Dejin.

"Did Xie Zhi tell you what happened the night the prime minister's mansion was burned?" Li Zichou asked.

Bai Qingyang: "Xie Zhi doesn't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion very often, he was also caught up in government affairs that time, and he didn't realize that something serious happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion until late at night when the fire was burning in the sky.

"By the time he arrived, the prime minister's mansion had already been ruined, with corpses everywhere.

"Jingzhao Mansion, the City Defense Department and the imperial palace guards are one step behind him."

Li Zichou frowned: "None of these people arrived in time for such a big event?"

"Well, it's curfew then."

"That shouldn't be..." Li Zichou murmured.

"Xie Zhi has a special status and avoided the Jingzhao Mansion and the City Defense Department. Later, the Imperial Army took over the scene."

"how about you?"

"The news of the slaughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread to Qinzhou, and my mother and I were arrested before we could believe it." Bai Qingyang recalled, "Even though I was released from the prison, I still couldn't leave Qinzhou city for half a step. I stayed for nearly four weeks. year."

"Why don't they let you leave Qinzhou?"

Bai Qingyang shook his head: "I don't know. When I was sent to prison at the beginning, it was said that we would be escorted to the capital for execution, but not long after, we were released. It was only after that that Xie Zhi contacted me. That's when I found out that everyone except Aye None of the more than two hundred people in the prime minister's mansion, the disciples and subordinates who were in charge, were spared." She didn't even get to see Aye for the last time.

Li Zichou thought for a long time after hearing this.

Bai Xun was murdered inexplicably, the prime minister's mansion was completely burned down, the army arrived late, the mother and daughter in Qinzhou were put under house arrest, Xie Zhi was involved in the officialdom, and the late emperor's intentions were unknown...

Who is planning behind this incident? Does it have anything to do with the prairie people?

"Actually..." Bai Qingyang suddenly said again, "Actually, the relationship between Aye and the late emperor is pretty good."

"Huh? Really?"

"Well, they are close friends. I also heard from Aye about this." Bai Qingyang and Li Zichou looked at each other and said bluntly, "Your royal father can sit in that position without me. Yeah help."

Li Zichou widened his eyes slightly: "..."

how? Bai Xun also helped the late emperor win the throne?

"Didn't Prime Minister Bai never take part in party disputes? How could he..."

Bai Qingyang understood her surprise, after all, Bai Xun had always been aloof from the world no matter in court or at home.

"It's not a factional dispute. Prince Xiaogong once humiliated Aye. Due to the identity of the other party, Aye has never been able to retaliate." Bai Qingyang recalled the anecdotes her father mentioned, and told Li Zifu with great interest. , "It just so happened that the late emperor asked me, Aye, for help, and I, Aye, agreed, and by the way helped your father win a throne."

Prince Xiaogong was the crown prince mentioned by Yang Dejin who had fought hardest with Emperor Jing, and was also the first crown prince to be abolished in Dasheng.

Li Zishou: "..." Isn't this just revenge? ! This is too convenient, right? ? !

Was Bai Xun such a willful person? !

"I heard from Aye that he and the first emperor called each other by their first names in private."

Li Zichou: "Do you think it is impossible for the first emperor to attack Prime Minister Bai?"

Bai Qingyang stroked the paper of the dossier, closed his eyes and said, "I just think that if the late Emperor really broke up with Aye, he would have a more decent and low-key way to deal with it."

Instead of killing all the prime minister's mansion, and then burning it clean.

This will not solve any problems, and will cause a lot of trouble for himself. More importantly, this approach is too unwise and does not conform to Emperor Jing's style of handling the relationship between monarch and ministers.

Li Zichou nodded thoughtfully.

Others didn't know that Prime Minister Bai had a close relationship with the late emperor, and the prime minister's mansion was slaughtered. They first suspected the late emperor, thinking that he was afraid of Bai Xun's meritorious deeds.

No matter how the late emperor reacted afterwards, this hat of Asuka's perfect bow was well worn.

Li Zichou thought for a moment when he thought of this: If the murderer in the case of Prime Minister Bai was someone else, did the late emperor know anything?

Why did Dasheng change so frequently four years ago?

Seeing that she was immersed in her own thoughts, Bai Qingyang couldn't help feeling a little relieved and grateful, but she still persuaded, "You don't have to bother so much. I know the possibility of finding out the old cases." What's more, she has spent her whole life and failed to make the truth come to light.

Li Zishou didn't seem to listen at all, she said: "Qing Yang, no matter who the murderer of Bai Xiang is, whether he is dead or alive, you have the right to pursue it."

Bai Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You really..."

Li Zichou continued to look through the files and documents on the case, and asked: "Is it impossible to let it go?

"Prime Minister Bai is deeply loved by the people, and he is a minister of the royal family. Dasheng can continue its prosperity, and Prime Minister Bai has contributed a lot. If this matter is left alone and the murderer is allowed to go unpunished, then I think it will be a shame. The hearts of the people of the world."

"Taking a step back, Prime Minister Bai is Xie Zhi's teacher, your father, and mine..." Li Zichou paused, "It is also my father-in-law or father-in-law, we all have the responsibility and obligation to avenge his wrongdoing. Before it's completely hopeless, we must try our best to turn the tide, right?"

In the end, he murmured in a low voice: "Which one is so insane that it caused my queen to suffer such a big grievance?"

After Li Zichou finished speaking, the announcement room was silent for a while, she subconsciously raised her head without hearing any response, but saw Bai Qingyang blushing.

Not only blushing, but also red eyes.

Li Zichou got up in a panic: "Wait... Qingyang, what's wrong with you, did I say something wrong? Why are you crying?"

For some reason, tears blurred his vision, Bai Qingyang rubbed it with his hands, and said in her usual cold voice, "I didn't cry."

"Ah..." Li Zichou looked at her helplessly.

How to do? She seemed to have made Bai Qingyang cry, and she blamed herself for always bringing up Bai Qingyang's sad things.

What should I do? She, she can't comfort people, why don't you apologize first.

"Isn't it..."

"Come here." Bai Qingyang covered his eyes and interrupted what Li Zichou hadn't finished speaking.

"Ah? Oh." Although Li Zichou didn't know what she wanted to do, he still came over and sat beside her, feeling uneasy, and was hugged when he was about to ask.

Bai Qingyang hugged Li Zifu's waist with both hands, buried his face in her arms, and sniffed the light fragrance of her body. Li Zichou's body froze for a moment, and he didn't dare to move.

"Ching Yang?"

Bai Qingyang's calm voice sounded from his chest: "Give me a hug."

Domineering tone, but doing things like a baby.

No, just acting like a baby.

Li Zichou nodded blankly: "Okay, I'll give you a hug, you can do whatever you want." After thinking about it, he still raised his hand to stroke her head.

Added another sentence: "Don't be unhappy."

After hearing this, Bai Qingyang opened his eyes vainly, and hugged her even tighter.

Li Zishou is always like this, tolerant of her emotions unconditionally, and conniving at her transgression, that's why he loses his composure again and again.

How crafty.

Wish she could stay like this forever.

Bai Qingyang was thinking wildly here, and Li Zichou's thoughts were even more chaotic. Bai Qingyang's forehead directly touched her bare heart, and every time she exhaled, it hit her skin, and rushed into her private parts along the loose front.

She seemed to realize that she was dressed a little too casually, and became shy belatedly.

Or... ask someone to bring some ice, it's really hot.

The author has something to say:

Li Zishou: No matter who the murderer is, whether he is dead or alive, Bai Qingyang has the right to investigate.

Yang Dejin: If the murderer is really dead, how can he be held accountable?

Li Zifu: Open the coffin and kill the corpse.

Yang Dejin (panic state)

Emperor Jing of Heaven: This is not good filial piety...
