you got on my tail

Before Xu Gao finished speaking, Bai Xuehe turned around silently, with a bit of chill on his face that always had a signature smile. He raised his hand and placed it on Xu Gao's luxurious ebony table, with a few fingers on his fingertips. Very delicate pink and white.

Xu Gao was silent. He knew that Bai Xuehe had come here instead of Fu Jiying. What he said just now was tantamount to pointing out that Fu Jiying was afraid of his Xu family's hard work and made such unwarranted charges on purpose.

"Great power? Bullying the emperor? Xu Yuanwai." Bai Xuehe's voice was calm, and a smile reappeared on his face, "Do you know what you just said?"

"Of course I know!" Xu Gao gritted his teeth. Rather than waiting to die, he might as well give it a go. He straightened up and continued, "All the crimes against my Xu family are based on your own words, Mr. Bai, unless you personally go to the coal mine to find out Iron proof, otherwise I refuse to plead guilty!"

"Irrefutable evidence?" Bai Xuehe smiled, "Ruan Jin wrote on the wall before he died, and you personally supervised the acquisition and mining of the Xingshan Coal Mine. Is that not ironclad evidence? I advise you to be careful when you speak."

"If I fake the mine disaster, I should at least know where the coal is going." Xu Gao rolled his eyes, and immediately reacted, and said: "Master Bai, if you have a clear account of the coal coming and going, this is the ironclad proof."

"I came to ransack the house to find the source of your money?" Bai Xuehe smiled, and then quickly said: "Come here, press the criminal back, don't let this matter alarm the emperor."

"The emperor may not think so." Lan Ziqing said solemnly: "I will report to the emperor."

Bai Xuehe was still smiling, but his clenched right hand had already pinched red marks.

After a while, the harem knew about this, and Bai Xuehe was also called into the palace. The queen mother felt that this was an opportunity to save her brother, so she came here to cry and complained. When Bai Xuehe entered the imperial study, Lan Ziqing stood in front of the door, And Fu Jiying was sitting in front of the desk, rubbing his forehead and sighing, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Get up." Seeing Bai Xuehe knelt down to salute, he raised his hand and said, "Later, I cried here and said that there is no evidence to arrest Xu Gao. Xuehe, I suddenly feel that you are a little too hasty?"

Fu Jiying still called him Xuehe, and ignored Lan Ziqing who was standing outside the door. Bai Xuehe still walked over with a little pampering and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is expected that Xu Gao will not plead guilty. It's just that I want to attract more people into the water, the Xu family has been considered rich these years, so the accounts are naturally not clear, and I will send someone to do the calculations, and it will be clear."

"But I don't think so." Fu Jiying smiled, and then squinted his eyes with a sharp light like a falcon, "Xu Gao's life is worthless, but if King Yan is released, and Xu Yan is angered by this matter, I still feel uncomfortable, besides, I wanted you to go to Xingshan to deal with Liu Yan, but now the prince’s former subordinate, General Liu, is still alive and well.”

"General Liu has gone crazy. I saw it with my own eyes." Bai Xuehe was taken aback, sweat broke out on his forehead, he began to speak and gesture in a panic, and then plopped down on his knees. The foot has not healed yet.

Xu Gao had been silent before, why did he suddenly want to go to the coal mine by himself again? Could it be that he got the news and was planning to cheat?

But he was imprisoned in the imperial prison, and his every move was under Jin Yiwei's nose. No one would give him a chance to get news, unless Fu Jiying deliberately released...

"Your Majesty." Bai Xuehe took a deep breath, "If it was General Xu's plan to send me to Xingshan, wouldn't that be a bad thing for me?"

"But I want to know what he wants to do." Fu Jiying lowered his head, his natural sensitivity still defeated his compassion, he stood up after a short pause, and helped Bai Xuehe up from the ground.

Touching that thin and soft body, he still half coaxed: "I will ask someone to accompany you, and arrange someone to protect you."

"I have something delicious for you." Fu Jiying lowered his head, opened the snack box on the table, took out a piece of thick shredded coconut cake and handed it to him, "The shredded coconut in Hainan is very smooth and tender."

Bai Xuehe took a sip, rubbed his toes for a while, and said: "But your majesty, I don't want to leave the capital..."

"After you go, check whatever you have. I promise not to be suspicious after this incident." Fu Jiying chose two more snacks, "I also blame myself for being harsh on you. When you are 30 years old, I will let you become a bachelor. Then we don't care about anything and just count the money, okay?"

"Abiding by the order." Bai Xuehe took a deep breath, and finally looked up with a smile. Fu Jiying rubbed his shoulders, looked up and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so tired these days, let's go out for a walk."

Bai Xuehe didn't dare to refuse, so he could only say: "The minister goes to change clothes."

The night market in the capital is very lively, Bai Xuehe is still somewhat lacking in interest, but Fu Jiying is very happy, he changed into a jade-white robe with gold rims, with emerald jade around his waist, like a rich man from an ordinary family.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, it was extremely prosperous, and the emperor was naturally very proud. Fu Jiying felt comfortable while walking, and his footsteps surpassed the guards protecting him behind him. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and found Bai Xuehe stopped by the side of the road.

Fu Jiying was a little curious, and leaned forward lightly. Bai Xuehe was still wearing an ordinary cloth, with snow-white skin showing through the soft cotton cloth. He lowered his head, holding a small bone china snake between his thin white fingers.

The little snake is white and fat, with a red letter spitting out of its mouth. Snakes are animals that everyone is afraid of, but this one looks cute.

Although this snake is made of porcelain, it is very lifelike, not like a street stall.

Sure enough, high-quality goods have the price of high-quality goods, 20 taels of silver is not too much, the stingy Mr. Bai is a little hesitant.

The guard behind him was about to call for someone, but Fu Jiying raised his hand to stop him. He stood in the throng of people looking at the figure, and then walked over slowly.

"Young master." He deliberately lowered his voice, then patted Bai Xuehe on the shoulder, "I am the richest man in the capital, I bought it for you as a gift?"

"Who are you? You..." Bai Xuehe turned his head and was facing Fu Jiying's smirking face. He couldn't help but choked for a while, and then blushed again, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

For a moment, Fu Jiying had an inexplicable impulse, as if wishing that joke would come true.

After a while, the impulse disappeared, and Fu Jiying looked up, and saw Lan Ziqing in casual clothes, and the same white-clothed nobleman entered the teahouse one after the other.

Fu Jiying narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell silent suddenly.

His innocent and innocent younger brother, King Yu, and that honest and upright Bai Lianhualan master, actually still have some private friendship.

……

It was already night when Bai Xuehe and Fu Jiying separated, and it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night in the north was already bitingly damp and cold. When he got near the door, Bai Fu came out and took a black cloak for him to wrap around his body.

Bai Xuehe's pace was a little tired, he sat at the table and took a sip of tea, raised his hand and put down the teacup and said, "Pack up some things, we're going on a long journey again."

"Master?" Bai Fu was stunned for a moment as he waved his snack hand, "Where else are you going?"

"Go to Xingshan one more time." Bai Xuehe glanced at the plum blossom cake on the table, and still took a sip of tea, "By the way, did you send the smoke paste I have here to King Yan?"

"Give it away." Bai Fu asked strangely: "Master, we saved our own, why did we send it to him again? Didn't the Emperor also give it to him?"

"Why do you care so much?" Bai Xuehe turned his head and glared at him, Bai Fu immediately restrained his voice, and said after a while: "Master, this plum cake is sweet with dried dates, isn't it the best for you?" Sweet..."

"If you eat too much sweet, you will get tired." Bai Xuehe smiled, brushed the dessert plate aside, and lay down on the table, the little snake on the cuff rolled out, Bai Xuehe poked it with his hand, like a child Playing back and forth.

He sent breath and pain ointment every day, but King Yan didn't respond, but Fu Jiying became suspicious again.

Bai Xuehe pushed the little snake away and buried his face in his arms.

Later, she was a little drowsy, Bai Xuehe himself didn't know how long he had slept, suddenly felt some movement in front of him, rubbed his eyes and looked up, saw a round face with round eyes open, blinking and blinking.

"Is this for me?" Heidan held the little snake, pursing his lips happily, "What a cute baby snake!"

"It's for you." Bai Xuehe stretched out his hand, ready to pat his head as usual.

Heidan smiled happily: "Did you send me to be your daughter-in-law?"

"Isn't your wife mine?"

Bai Xuehe blurted out, feeling a little regretful.
