Chapter 146 White Moonlight Sequelae
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and greeted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a long and healthy life."
"Everyone get up." Bo Muxi said coldly.
Bo Muxi had been planning to come to Fengyi Palace to discuss the matter of praying for blessings this winter with the Queen. When he heard the noise from afar, he was also convinced. He really couldn't stand these stupid women who were eager to run into trouble!
Before Hu Baolin could speak, Yinlian was quick-witted and simply stated what had just happened. In front of everyone, Bo Muxi would not doubt the truth of the matter.
But Li Xiaoyi stood there, speechless for a moment, and really didn't know how to defend herself. After all, blood was still oozing from Hu Baolin's neck!
Shen Zhiyao just wanted to hold her forehead at this moment. She had seen stupid people, but she had never seen such a stupid person! Wasn't she quite powerful just now? How come she became as dumb as a cotton trouser pocket when she saw the emperor!
By the time Li Xiaoyi finally came up with a good excuse and began to defend herself, Bo Muxi had already shown a very impatient look.
His eyes were always fixed on the slightly pitiful Hu Baolin who was standing in the crowd.
Hu Baolin's hair bun was a little loose due to the fight, there was a red palm print on his fair face, and there were bloodshot on his neck. His lively almond eyes seemed to be filled with tears, full of fear and grievance.
This look actually reminded Bo Muxi of Qin Man, who had died in his arms.
That poor woman, who had sacrificed so much for him, could not even get a name and was strangled to death innocently. Combined with the current scene, Bo Muxi immediately felt infinite pity for her.
Bo Muxi interrupted Li Wanyi impatiently: "Lin'en, go ask the imperial physician to come and check on Hu Baolin. He has such delicate skin and tender flesh, don't let him get any more scars!"
Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but pout. This emperor was really exaggerating. It was just a few small scratches. It wasn't made of paper, so how could it leave scars?
It can be seen that the emperor's heart is really biased!
Shen Zhiyao felt that something was wrong. Given Bo Muxi's personality, he shouldn't be so nervous. Could there be some unknown secret hidden in this?
At this time, the queen also rushed over after hearing the news. She was stunned to see such a scene and felt really annoyed.
The queen stepped forward and looked at Hu Baolin with pity: "Just bear with it for now. Wait until the imperial physician comes and has a good look. Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you with any scars."
"I thank the Emperor and the Empress for their concern. I am fine and it doesn't hurt." Hu Baolin cried and complained. She didn't make a single complaint, but every word she said was full of grievance.
Such a well-behaved appearance was heartbreaking to look at. At least Bo Muxi felt his heart aching.
"My beloved concubine has been wronged!" Bo Muxi couldn't help but step forward and gently held Hu Baolin's hand.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They had never seen the emperor show such favoritism to a newcomer in public!
"Li Xiaoyi, you have really become more capable. This place is only a stone's throw away from Fengyi Palace, yet you can make decisions for me and hit someone? And you hit him so hard!" the queen said in a solemn voice.
When the Queen said this, Li Xiaoyi was instantly frightened.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is indeed a misunderstanding here. How could I be so bold as to hurt others maliciously? I don't have the heart to do so, let alone the courage!" Li Xiaoyi knelt on the ground and cried.
Bo Muxi frowned, without even looking at Li Xiaoyi: "Does your neck still hurt?"
Hu Baolin sniffed, looked up at Bo Muxi, and said obediently: "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing to worry about. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Don't let me hurt the harmony of the sisters in the palace."
Shen Zhiyao simply couldn't bear to watch it anymore. This Hu Baolin was so fierce when he was fighting with Li Baolin, but now he pretended to be so well-behaved and sensible in front of the emperor. What a green tea!
If it were someone else, Bo Muxi might be annoyed by these words, but at the moment he was thinking about Qin Man, whom he had let down in the past, and he was now putting a full filter on Hu Baolin, so how could he be annoyed?
Hu Baolin's acting at this moment happened to be more like Qin Man's style.
Bo Muxi became even more agitated and his emotions were aroused.
"Don't think too much, my beloved. I will definitely take care of it for you and will not let you be bullied in vain." Bo Muxi patted Hu Baolin's hand.
This time, Hu Baolin did not try to persuade the emperor to calm down. Instead, he pursed his lips, appearing even more aggrieved.
My goodness, Shen Zhiyao saw it clearly from the side and felt even more heartbroken!
This cold-hearted emperor had to rely on his own abilities to escape every time he was framed and wronged. Now that the new man has surpassed the old, he can actually do this for Hu Baolin!
Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart. It turned out that it wasn’t that the emperor couldn’t do it, but that he didn’t want to!
For some reason, Bo Muxi happened to look in the direction of Shen Zhiyao at this moment. The two of them looked at each other. Shen Zhiyao calmly shifted her gaze towards the Queen, leaving Bo Muxi's sight empty.
Only then did Bo Muxi feel that he had gone too far. He unconsciously let go of Hu Baolin's hand and subconsciously touched his nose. He was really in trouble with Shen Zhiyao again.
He then smiled, walked to the Queen's side, and looked towards Shen Zhiyao. His gaze changed direction again, obviously not wanting to look at him.
Bo Muxi sighed and said in a calmer tone: "Queen, I think you are too kind. In this harem, even Xiaoyi can make the decision?"
Li Xiaoyi's face turned pale when she heard this, and she hurriedly threw her head to the ground: "Your Majesty, Queen, please listen to my explanation..."
Bo Muxi turned to look at her, eyes full of disgust: "Shut up."
Li Xiaoyi was so frightened that she lost her voice and had to kowtow in pain. She looked quite pitiful, but no one fell for her trick.
This time, the Queen did not take the Emperor's question seriously and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing. It really broadens my horizons."
Li Xiaoyi was regretting her decision so much at this moment. Why did she have to be the first to take action for no reason?
But it was too late to say anything. The emperor wouldn't let her speak. She had already lost her mind and was shaking like a sieve. She kowtowed several times to the emperor and the empress to show her respect.
Speaking of which, Xiaoyi, a fifth-rank official, beat Baolin, a seventh-rank official. It would have been fine if Hu Baolin's neck hadn't been bleeding, and the matter would have been laughed off.
But now she was accused of making decisions for the Queen. How could Li Xiaoyi bear this?
"I can't stand the prevailing trend of jealousy. Normally, I try my best to be considerate of you, but now, you are becoming more and more unruly." The queen said in a solemn voice.
Everyone had no choice but to bow their heads and listen to the lecture.
"Your Majesty, since you happen to be here, I will obey your instructions on how to deal with Li Xiaoyi. Please give me your instructions." The Queen bowed and said to Bo Muxi.
