Chapter 155 What is your status to arrange our master?
Yuan Youying's words made Bai Jinghong's face turn pale, and his heart, which had been dull and aching, tightened even more.
Did Hua Jin look down on him so much?
But his intuition told Bai Jinghong that Hua Jin was not that kind of person at all.
He took a step back in despair, looking at the torn portrait on the ground without saying a word.
Yuan Youying originally wanted to ridicule Bai Jinghong a few more words, but when she saw this, she cried and said:
"Elder brother, don't be stubborn anymore. Look at me. I have always been by your side to accompany you. After so many years, haven't we tacitly agreed that we will become husband and wife in the future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jinghong suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Youying,
"I...little junior sister, you..."
As if there was something unspeakable, Bai Jinghong couldn't express what was in his heart.
Yes, that's right, the master used to prefer him to marry Yuan Youying. All the time, everyone in Tianyi Valley agreed that he would marry Yuan Youying and take over the position of the leader.
Bai Jinghong had no objection before.
But somehow he met Hua Jin.
Bai Jinghong shook his head, his expression was very uncomfortable,
"I'm sorry, little junior sister, I didn't know what it was like to like someone before. It wasn't until I met her that I realized what it feels like to truly like someone."
"Little junior sister, I have always been a brother and sister to you from the beginning to the end."
The words "brother and sister love" spat out from Bai Jinghong's mouth, hitting Yuan Youying's heart like a thunderbolt, breaking her heart into pieces.
She shook her head, with tears in her eyes,
"I don't believe it. You said you only have brother-sister feelings for me, but when we were in Tianyi Valley, you and I spent time together, and you still, you still..."
He had kissed her, hugged her, and even touched her.
Before meeting Hua Jin, Bai Jinghong had been passionate about her.
Although they never explicitly stated their friendship, Yuan Youying could feel that it was clearly not a relationship between brother and sister.
How come now, from the mouth of the eldest brother, they have become brother and sister?
"Junior sister, when you meet a man who makes your heart beat in the future, you will know how different our previous relationship is compared to love."
Bai Jinghong seemed to remember something, his eyes were full of longing,
"You will feel that the person you meet is the only color in your eyes, and everything else pales in comparison to that person."
"Junior sister, I don't want you to regret it."
Every word he said was like a sharp knife, piercing into Yuan Youying's heart.
Yuan Youying shook her head, cried and ran away again.
Bai Jinghong was left standing there, picking up the scroll with Hua Jin on the ground, and gluing it on bit by bit, and then finally couldn't help it, and asked Sun Guogong's people where Hua Jin was staying.
The full moon was rising high, and Hua Jin was sitting in front of the small window in the yard, looking at the small note in her hand, frowning and asking Gu Zun,
"You mean someone poisoned the water near Yutou Mountain?"
"Yes, Madam, the poisoned stream made a circle at the foot of Yutou Mountain and merged into Guqi Prefecture through underground rivers. Now, in the north of Guqi Prefecture, several villages have been foaming at the mouth.
Poisoning symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.”
These words made Hua Jin fall into deep thought. She spread out the map of Guqizhou and Beidi under the lamp, found the poisoned river, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then she couldn't help but laugh:
"The poisoner probably wanted to poison the people and tigers near Yutou Mountain. As a result, the river gradually led underground and entered Guqi Prefecture, poisoning several villages in Guqi Prefecture.
"
Just as he was talking, Hua Jin turned his face and shouted:
"who?"
Lian'er stood up, but before she could make any move, Gu Zun jumped out of the window with his sword and started fighting with the people hiding on the eaves.
After a while, Bai Jinghong couldn't beat him, so he took advantage of the situation and flew down from the eaves, looking at the flowers in the window with full of infatuation.
"Flower girl."
He checked the city registration book and also knew Hua Jin's name.
Hua Jin, this name is really nice.
There was a brocade of flowers in the window, and there was a sneer on her beautiful eyebrows. She threw the map of Guqi Prefecture out of the window.
"You're here at the right time. The poison in these villages must be caused by you people from Tianyi Valley."
Bai Jinghong just listened to a few words on the eaves. He picked up the map from the ground. The poisoned villages on it were all marked by Hua Jin with a red pen.
He shook his head,
"Our Tianyugu family is not the only one who knows how to use poison in this world, but this is a matter of common people. Bai is willing to go to these villages with Hua girl to investigate and restore Tianyugu's innocence."
Lian'er was very smart and said:
"What kind of identity did you arrange for our master? If our master wants to go, he won't go with you."
Bai Jinghong outside the window turned his gaze to Lian'er and said very sincerely:
"Miss Lian'er definitely doesn't believe me when I say that Tian Yigu didn't do anything. In that case, in order to restore Tian Yigu's innocence, why can't Miss Hua go with me to investigate?"
Lian'er snorted,
"Who doesn't know that you don't have good intentions at all? Our master is so noble that we don't have to let you get close to us and tarnish our master's reputation."
"What Lian'er said makes sense."
There was a hint of coldness in Hua Jin's phoenix eyes, standing in the window looking at Bai Jinghong,
"I am a husband-in-law. I hope that Bai Shaoxia will exercise some restraint and not cause trouble to everyone. I will go with Bai Shaoxia to investigate the poisoning in these villages."
Seeing Bai Jinghong want to say more, Hua Jin said:
"Young Master Bai, walk slowly. If there is a next time, I won't be merciful."
After that, she ordered Lian'er to close the window and refused to say a word to Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong was standing in the yard outside the window, unwilling to leave. Gu Zun stepped forward coldly and said solemnly:
"Young Master Bai, please pay attention to your identity. Our master is beyond your reach."
“Can’t reach too high?”
Bai Jinghong's eyes looked over, a little unconvinced,
"Bai knows that Hua girl already has a husband. Bai just wants to go with Hua girl to investigate the poisoning in those villages. He has no other intentions."
"But you said that Bai can't reach the flower girl. Bai doesn't know what the flower girl is. Bai's status can't reach the flower girl. So what kind of young talent is a good match for the flower girl?"
It is easy to say that he is also the future leader of Tianyi Valley, which is currently the largest sect in the world. With his status, no matter which sect Hua Jin is a disciple of.
Bai Jinghong deserves it.
Gu Zun's usually stern face could not help but reveal a look of contempt.
He remained silent because the empress was in enemy territory and her identity could not be exposed.
In fact, let alone Bai Jinghong's identity, there are very few men in the world who can compare with King Xiao Li.
"Please leave!"
Gu Zun still cherished words like gold and did not want to talk too much with Bai Jinghong.
In desperation, Bai Jinghong had no choice but to leave.
But he did not give up. Instead, he waited in the dark for Hua Jin to lead his people before Bai Jinghong followed Hua Jin's team and headed towards the poisoned villages in Guqi Prefecture.
Bai Jinghong was so focused on Hua Jin that Yuan Youying almost despaired.
In Sun Guogong's mansion, Yuan Youying was lying on the bed in her room, crying loudly.
Outside the door, a disciple said:
"Little Junior Sister, Princess Qi is here to see you."
Before Yuan Youying could put away her tears, Princess Qi brought gold and silver jewelry and brocade clothes and opened the door of Yuan Youying's room.
"Sister, look, what did sister bring you?"
Princess Qi walked over with a smile, turned around the screen, and saw Yuan Youying sitting on the edge of the bed wiping the tears on her face, she hurriedly walked over,
"Good sister, why are you crying? Tell me quickly, who has wronged you?"
Yuan Youying blinked her tears. In this strange Duke's Mansion, she suddenly met someone who cared about her so much, like a close sister. The tears that Yuan Youying had finally held back burst out again.
She choked and told Princess Qi everything about Bai Jinghong being fascinated by a bitch.
Princess Qi sighed,
"That's how men are, they always fall in love with the one they meet. Sister Youying, you have been in Tianyi Valley for a long time and don't know the dangers of this world."
"Actually, this is the nature of men. No matter whether this woman is comparable to sister Youying or not, men only want to be fresh."
As she spoke, Princess Qi's tone revealed genuine disappointment and despair.
After all, Princess Qi has already seen through the absurd things that King Qi has done over the years.
Yuan Youying felt sad again, she cried and asked:
"Sister Princess, what should we do? Can we just accept the situation? Can we just watch those vixens snatch away the men who belong to us?"
So unwilling.
Princess Qi, who had a friendly look on her face, raised her sleeves, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with empathy:
"I have long been used to it. I originally thought that our prince would be just fooling around. As long as he can give me a child and let my child be the crown prince, he will favor whoever he likes, and he will establish seventeen or eight good wives.
I don’t care, but...but he..."
By the end of the story, Princess Qi had burst into tears.
Yuan Youying felt very sad when she heard that, and she said indignantly:
"Sister Princess, don't be sad. I've also heard about the prince doting on his concubine and killing his wife in the past two days. Don't worry. The senior brother asked us to follow him to the southern front. If I can go to King Qi's military camp and meet
I will keep Liangdi, who is pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, to vent her anger for my sister."
"Good sister..."
Princess Qi's face was touched, with tears in her eyes. She hurriedly pointed to the trays held by the maids behind her,
"Good sister, look, these are all given to you by my sister. As long as you get rid of that Liangdi for my sister, my sister will treat you better in the future."
The maids lined up holding trays and displayed the gold and silver jewelry and brocade clothes in front of Yuan Youying.
This moved Yuan Youying very much, and she became more determined in her heart, and wanted to go to the meeting for a while to add fragrance.
In King Qi's camp, Tian Xiang, whose belly was bulging, couldn't help but sneeze. She put down the ink pen in her hand and shouted in panic,
"Juer."
The rough messenger girl sent by Huajin to protect Tianxiang immediately entered the tent from outside and asked:
"Liang Di, do you have something to give me?"
"I suddenly have a bad premonition. Please help me find out whether Princess Qi has tried to harm me again."
Only after cooperating with Hua Jin did Tian Xiang realize how powerful Hua Jin's intelligence network was.
Sun Guogong, who is so powerful that he only needs Princess Qi in the capital, came up with an idea to harm her and the child in her belly today. That night, Zhu Er will tell Tianxiang.
It has to be said that Princess Qi and Duke Sun went to any lengths to kill the child in her belly.
It was precisely because of knowing their endless methods that Tian Xiang became more and more afraid.
She is extremely lucky now that she chose to cooperate with Hua Jin.
If she relied solely on her own strength, Tianxiang would not have carried this child to such a large size.
As her belly grew bigger and bigger, King Qi was obviously looking forward to this child more and more. Recently, King Qi was preparing to promote Tianxiang to the throne again.
As long as Tianxiang can give birth to the child smoothly, she will be the concubine of King Qi.
Zhu Er brought a thin blanket for Tian Xiang, covered Tian Xiang's belly, and whispered:
"Princess Qi has been a bit out of her depth recently. She is working hard to build a good relationship with the disciples of Tianyigu who are relying on Sun Guogong's mansion. I think she wants to do something with Tianyigu's help."
"Then, what should we do? Tianyugu...that's a big sect."
Tianxiang's face turned pale with fright. It wasn't that she had no wisdom, or that she couldn't win over King Qi, but that Princess Qi's methods became more and more ruthless every time.
This time, Tian Yigu was actually used to deal with her. Tianxiang was just a weak female, how could she fight against such a powerful Tian Yigu?
Just listen to Zhuer whisper:
"Our empress said that the reason why Princess Qi has such ability is just because she sits in the position of the principal concubine. If you can't be the principal concubine, you can take over the power. If all the governance rights of Guqi Prefecture are in
Are you still afraid of a little princess in your hands?"
The reason why Duke Sun is now feared by the King of Qi is because the power of Guqi Prefecture is actually in the hands of Duke Sun.
The most the King of Qi did was collect taxes and issue some insignificant decrees.
Moreover, all these must be approved by Sun Guogong.
Tian Xiang was thoughtful when he heard the words,
"Have you ever said that if I want to take over the power of Guqi Prefecture, will you help me?"
Zhuer replied expressionlessly:
"Our queen is not a philanthropist. As long as the price you give her is high enough, she will naturally be happy to help you."
Although Hua Jin is a royal princess, she loves money to an outrageous degree. She wants to hug Tian Xiang and the baby in Tian Xiang's belly because she needs Tian Xiang to confuse King Qi.
Let King Qi become her free miner.
But for more, you need to add more fragrance and pay more for it.
Tian Xiang thought for a while and asked Zhu Er,
"If I only need the tax revenue from Guqi Prefecture and hand over the military and governance rights of Guqi Prefecture to the Queen, can she help me?"
If even the governance rights are handed over, it means that the amount of tax revenue depends entirely on Huajin's governance capabilities.
If Huajin manages Guqi Prefecture well, then Tianxiang’s taxes will be more. If Huajin does not manage it well, Tianxiang and her children will be in poverty.
Zhu Er said with a straight face:
"Our empress has said that Liang Di is a smart person. If she is willing to fight for this power and hand over the military and governance rights of Gu Banner Prefecture, from now on, Liang Di will be our own member of Prince Li's Mansion."
