Looking at the deflated Lai Feiyan who returned in despair, Bai Yanqing could not find a single ripple of joy in her heart. From the moment Bai Yanqing stepped into the palace gate, she knew that like all the women in the palace, she would live her life.
Living... a life where you are not free, but you have to work hard to climb up!
After all, in this palace, if she lives contentedly with the status quo forever, what awaits her will only be endless oppression and humiliation!
In fact, Lai Feiyan did nothing wrong! She is also working hard for her future.
Although the emperor in the high position was enjoying the adulation of the ministers, he still glanced at Bai Yanqing's location from the corner of his eye from time to time. What he was most worried about was, of course, Bai Yanqing's relationship with the Ji family.
!
But Bai Yanqing and Ji Jinxiu didn't communicate too much. They only nodded lightly and greeted each other, so they had met! In full view of everyone, Bai Yanqing certainly knew how to measure!
In order not to cause trouble to Bai Yanqing, Ji Jinxiu did not dare to disturb her any more! Today, seeing that Bai Yanqing is well, Ji Jinxiu can go back to his hometown and return to his old man!
Bai Jingxuan was quite calm. He didn't deliberately look for Bai Yanqing. He just looked at his daughter from a distance. Now that he could stand alone, he was very relieved!
Bai Jingxuan can also see that although the eldest prince Yunqi is not a very smart person, he is indeed very good to his daughter! At critical moments, he can also stand up to protect Bai Yanqing. Look... it's also very good.
Listening to Bai Yanqing's words, the eldest prince is very lucky to have such a posture!
The lights are bright, the singing and dancing are lively, the Linde Hall looks lively on the surface, but secretly, no one knows how many people's calculations and thoughts are hidden!
This year’s Double Ninth Festival was really boring and boring!
After sending Lai Feiyan back to the emperor, not long after, a palace man came to the door of Linde Hall. He hurried to the emperor, whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and then Bai Yanqing,
When he saw it, the emperor's face changed drastically!
At this time, Bai Yanqing didn't know what had happened. But seeing the emperor's face, she intuitively knew that what the palace official reported must be something big!
The emperor stood up quickly and hurriedly followed the palace servant towards the outside of Linde Hall. No matter how Empress Gao behind him shouted, the emperor did not look back.
For a moment, all the singing and dancing in the Linde Hall were suspended. Everyone looked at the emperor who was leaving in a hurry and was stunned for a long time. After everyone reacted, they also swarmed out of the Linde Hall and headed towards the emperor's departure.
direction and chase away.
In an instant, only Bai Yanqing's master and servant were left in the entire Linde Hall, as well as Empress Gao and Concubine Xian, who were stunned in their high positions.
I saw Concubine Xian standing up calmly, lowering her head to straighten her clothes and tidying up her appearance, then looking down at her armor, and then she spoke unhurriedly.
"Queen, let's... let's go!"
For some reason, Bai Yanqing always felt that Concubine Xian was a little... weird in her calmness, as if... she was about to watch a big show that she had expected! On her face, Bai Yanqing could not see a trace of panic!
There was even a hint of...smile in that calm and unhurried expression?!
And Queen Gao's expression is even more intriguing! On her face, in addition to a bit of worry, there is also... panic that she is trying to hide! Her two hands, although very dignified, are stacked in front of her belly, but that
It could still be seen from her white fingertips that she was pinching her palms nervously.
From this point of view, Empress Gao and Concubine Xian must have heard what the palace servant said to the emperor just now!
Something that could make Queen Gao so nervous... is actually quite interesting!
Bai Yanqing turned around, nodded towards Cai Xing, and then followed the others and walked out.
Everyone was running towards the same place. Bai Yanqing then also raised her feet and walked towards that place.
Bai Yanqing was not very familiar with the terrain in the palace, so she naturally didn't know where they were going. She just thought that if she followed the others, they would go right.
Along the way, in addition to the concubines and ministers walking in a hurry, there were also palace officials who looked flustered and walked in a hurry.
What on earth... happened? Bai Yanqing's curiosity was instantly aroused!
"Caixing, let's go faster!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Cai Xing and quickened the pace! After all... I was late, so I might not be able to see the good show!
However, the more Bai Yanqing walked, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why did this road look so familiar? It was so familiar... that it made Bai Yanqing feel a little scared!
"Miss... doesn't this road... lead to the third prince's palace?"
Caixing hesitated for a moment and asked the question in his mind.
Bai Yanqing only felt that her eyelids were twitching! She also saw at this time that this road was the road leading to Jiyun Palace!
Could it be that... something happened to Yun Ji?
The ominous premonition in Bai Yanqing's heart is getting stronger and stronger! She is a little scared, afraid that something will happen to Yun Ji, and that Yun Qi will be sad after something happens to Yun Ji! Although Yun Qi is usually not polite to Yun Ji, Bai Yanqing knows that Yun Qi
In his heart, Qi still loves Yunji, his younger brother! Otherwise, why would he do all those dangerous things by himself? But he has never let Yunji share any of his burdens?
"Let's go!"
At that time, Bai Yanqing couldn't care about anything else. She pulled Cai Xing and ran towards Jiyun Palace quickly! With her feet at her feet, she didn't dare to delay for even a moment!
At this moment, Cai Xing also realized the seriousness of the matter. She followed Bai Yanqing, running so fast that she almost died, not daring to stop and take a breath!
When the two of them arrived at the Jiyun Palace, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside the Jiyun Palace, and they were densely packed with people!
Bai Yanqing pulled Cai Xing and took advantage of her petite body to sneak from the back of the crowd to the front of the crowd!
When Bai Yanqing stood firm and stood in front of the crowd, what caught her eyes was the angry emperor and the closed door of Jiyun Palace in front of her!
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes!
This...the door is closed, what's going on?
"Your Highness, Third Prince, please open the palace door quickly!"
The eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward and kept shouting. His voice was full of embarrassment and pleading.
Deathly silence, no one answered.
"Shout again!"
The emperor is really angry! How dare he not open the door?
"Your Highness the Third Prince! Please open the door quickly, don't keep the Emperor waiting!"
The Grand Eunuch’s voice sounded vaguely like crying!
Still no one answered.
Bai Yanqing's heart skipped a beat! What on earth did Yun Ji commit? He hid in the palace and didn't dare to speak out? This... isn't like Yun Ji's style!
Just when the emperor's anger was about to reach its peak, a voice that shouldn't have appeared suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people surrounding the door of this prince's bedroom?"
It's Yunji's voice!
"Father, what happened? Look at you, your beard is standing up with anger!"
Yun Ji pushed aside the crowd, ran up to the emperor, and joked with him.
The emperor, who was furious just a moment ago, was so shocked by Yun Ji's appearance that his jaw almost dropped.
Didn’t the palace official who came to report just now say that the person in Jiyun Palace was Yun Ji? Why did he... appear outside?
What the hell is going on here?
The emperor was stunned!
"Ji'er, this... the person in your dormitory is not you?"
The emperor stuttered a little. He really didn't expect that Yun Ji was not in the palace!
"Me? Why am I in the dormitory? Just now at the banquet, I drank too much, so I came out to enjoy the breeze. I was... shaking, just a little... hehe, I had an urgent need to urinate, so I ran back along the way...
...Take a break...hehe!"
Yun Ji scratched his head in embarrassment and spoke with some embarrassment, explaining to the emperor.
At this time, everyone looked at Yun Ji who suddenly appeared outside the hall, all with different expressions.
"By the way, my father hasn't said anything yet, why did you come to the palace with everyone else? Are you leaving the banquet so soon?"
Yun Ji scratched his head and then asked. There was nothing else on his childish face.
Bai Yanqing subconsciously took a few steps back. Since Yun Ji was fine, there was no need for her to rush forward. What was the truth about this matter? There must be someone who was more anxious than her!
Due to the presence of so many people, the emperor was unable to speak openly to Yun Ji. He could only wave his hand towards Yun Ji with some annoyance.
"Since the third prince is fine, then... dear friends, please come back to Linde Palace with me!"
The emperor turned to his father-in-law beside him, whispered something, and then turned around and walked back.
Suddenly, just as everyone turned around following the emperor and wanted to walk back, there was a burst of noise in Jiyun Palace!
"There is someone in the palace!"
I don’t know who it was, but he opened his mouth and shouted!
"It can't be that... there is a thief, right?"
Someone shouted again!
"Is there an assassin?!"
The suspicions one after another made the emperor have to stop!
"Escort! Quick, someone is coming! Escort! Protect the emperor!"
A group of people hurriedly surrounded the emperor to express their sincerity! The emperor was completely surrounded!
This situation made Bai Yanqing want to laugh even when he was hiding in the dark! These people are probably not fools, right? If there were assassins, how could they be allowed to surround Jiyun Palace for a long time without the assassins taking action?
It was only when the emperor was about to leave that the assassin made such a fuss?
"Father, don't panic! My son is here! I want to see who he is who dares to act like a ghost in my Jiyun Palace!"
Yun Ji patted his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring! Then, regardless of the obstruction of the palace people around him, Yun Ji ran straight to the door of his own dormitory, and with a "bang", he violently pushed the door open!
"Stay! Who is here? How dare you act like a ghost in this prince's palace?!"
Yun Ji had an operatic accent. As soon as he stepped in with his front foot, his hands immediately showed a defensive posture. That look was so funny!
If not, with so many people here, Bai Yanqing might not be able to help but laugh in front of everyone!
"Miss, who do you think is in the third prince's bedroom?"
Caixing watched the play for a long time and found it more and more interesting. She looked like she was watching a play and gossiped to Bai Yanqing.
"Aren't you always the most well-informed? Tell me, who is it that dares to plot against the emperor in full view of the public?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Cai Xing leisurely to see if she could see anything.
"Could it be that...Miss already knows?"
Caixing glanced at Bai Yanqing and saw that she looked like an old god was present. Caixing had an intuition that her young lady must have guessed something!
"Me! I don't know!"
Bai Yanqing smiled. Her smile looked extremely weird in this tense atmosphere!
When Cai Xing saw this, she couldn't help but raise her arms and rub her arms! For a moment, even Cai Xing couldn't tell whether she was cold or... for some other reason!
