Two days later, Ye Liyuan decided to leave Luo City and go to Anning City to bring Bai Qiqian back.
There are many dangers here. Zhuge Lanling asked Ye Liyuan to bring some soldiers and horses for self-protection. When Ye Liyuan left, he mobilized five hundred elite soldiers. Five hundred of them were scattered around along the way.
In the village, as long as they see Ye Liyuan's signal, they will get ready and obey all his orders.
Before Ye Liyuan left Luo City, he put on a thin human skin mask. His beautiful face was covered up, replaced by an elegant and indifferent face.
This face, uniquely belonging to Su Nanjin, once made Bai Qiqian warm for a lot of time.
He galloped on horseback and finally entered Anning City without any worries.
As expected of an imperial capital, Anning City is still so prosperous at this time. People are coming and going on the streets, and there is no solemn atmosphere at all.
Su Nanjin used a general token in his hand to easily enter the palace. The leader of the guards in the palace led him all the way to Fangfei Hall. The leader of the guards whispered: "Mr. Su, in front of you is Fangfei, where Princess Fuyao is.
However, the emperor has ordered everyone to guard it closely, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. Even Princess Fuyao cannot leave Fangfei Hall easily."
Su Nanjin nodded: "Well, don't worry, I will keep your contribution in mind, and I will praise you well in front of the prince when the time comes."
The leader of the guards laughed: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Su for your support."
After saying that, the guard leader took Su Nanjin to the Imperial Guards and changed shifts with one of them. Afterwards, he waited motionless in Fangfei Hall.
In the evening, Bai Qiqian had her dinner and walked out of Fangfei Palace, staring at the plum forest in a daze. There was a row of people behind her, following her step by step.
Bai Qiqian's head was still wrapped with thick white gauze, which looked a little funny. She hated so many people following her around, and shouted impatiently: "I want to go for a walk, and there are so many of you following me.
This princess is in a terrible mood. Get out of here, all of you."
A row of imperial guards still stood behind Bai Qiqian dutifully, their faces expressionless no matter how she cursed.
Bai Qiqian felt very aggrieved, turned around and walked into the house again.
After a while, Ye Jinjue hurried over. There was still a hint of joy in his eyebrows, as if he was flattered that Bai Qiqian would take the initiative to let him come over: "Fuyao, what's going on?"
Bai Qi said lightly: "Your Majesty, I want to take a walk quietly. Can you not let such a group of people follow me?"
Ye Jinjue said with a clear stance: "Fuyao, I am doing this for your safety."
Bai Qiqian asked after deliberation: "Every day after dinner, I just want to go out for a walk. At this time, can you let a few people follow me? Or I can choose one myself. You should be able to do it now.
promise?"
Ye Jinjue pondered for a long time: "Yes, I promise you. But the guard you choose must also fall in my eyes."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "Okay, let's leave now. Take the group of people with me and I will select one of them." After that, he walked straight ahead.
There was a pool of turquoise water in front of her. There were many fallen flowers floating on the lake, which looked very beautiful. Bai Qiqian stretched her hand into it as if she was naughty, but she immediately grinned, looking very annoyed. This lake is unavoidable.
It was too cold, it was biting to the bone.
Ye Jinjue looked at her childish movements and smiled heartily: "Fuyao, this pool is Motan. It is said that a dragon lives here, so the water is cold to the bones."
Bai Qiqian clapped her hands: "I didn't expect there is such a statement."
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She took off a crystal clear jade bracelet from her wrist and threw the jade bracelet casually into the lake: "Who is willing to fish the jade bracelet out for me, the princess?"
, I will choose whoever will be with me." Of course, Bai Qiqian hoped that no one would be willing to go down and salvage the jade bracelet for her.
Although the group of imperial guards were very brave, they were not willing to fall into the cold pool.
Ye Jinjue looked gloomy. Could it be that he had raised such a useless group of guards over the years? They were not even willing to jump into the cold pool, let alone protect the country for him with all their heart.
Just when Ye Jinjue was about to get angry, a young man walked out from the group of imperial guards. He walked straight towards the cold pool and jumped into the green lake with a single leap. This
Suddenly, not only Bai Qiqian was stunned there, but Ye Jinjue was also stunned.
It wasn't until the man handed the jade bracelet to Bai Qiqian's hand that Bai Qiqian came to her senses. When she saw his face, she had mixed feelings in her eyes.
Ye Jinjue's face brightened slightly: "What's your name?"
Su Nanjin lowered his head: "Back to the emperor, my name is Axiu."
Bai Qiqian suddenly laughed regardless of the image: "Axiu? Isn't this a girl's name? You look so elegant, how could you choose such a name?"
Ye Jinjue also smiled heartily: "This name is indeed a woman's name, but seeing your face, you are quite handsome, so the name does not insult you."
Su Nanjin smiled blankly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I also think this name is quite good. It's really quite good."
Bai Qiqian looked at this familiar handsome face: "Your Majesty, I take a walk every night and he follows me. Do you think this is okay?"
Ye Jinjue nodded: "Axiu, you are responsible for protecting Princess Fuyao, and you can't let her make any mistakes, otherwise I will come to see you with your head." When he said the next part, Ye Jinjue looked serious.
stand up.
Su Nanjin knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Ye Jinjue nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I will reward you well when the time comes. Fuyao, take a walk slowly and remember to go back early to rest. If you have a headache, you can't blow the wind often. I still have memorials to review, so go back first."
Bai Qiqian said calmly: "Congratulations to your Majesty."
When Ye Jinjue left, Bai Qiqian sneered at Su Nanjin, her voice low but suppressed with anger: "What are you doing here?"
The wrinkles between Su Nanjin's brows gradually deepened, and she seemed a little helpless, but her voice was still as gentle as before: "Qiqi, I'll pick you up and leave here."
Bai Qiqian seemed to have heard a funny joke and laughed for a long time: "Haha, take me away? I thought you were coming to see if I was dead."
Su Nanjin was silent. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Bai Qiqian turned around and walked towards Fangfei Hall. Why, she was obviously looking forward to him coming to her side, but when she saw him, her heart still hurt and she still complained. After all, she had to do it
I can't do it without completely ignoring him, even if I try to hide my emotions by deceiving myself.
I really failed.
I don't know if I can be willing to die for him like this.
Returning to Fangfei Hall, she sat in the garden. Bai Qiqian looked at Su Nanjin who was following him with a half-smile, and said with a hint of thorn in her words: "Master Su, I would like to know why you took me away?"
Su Nanjin was still calm and desolate, with a hint of melancholy in her brows: "Qiqi, when I make arrangements here, I will take you out of the palace." Bai Qiqian responded casually: "But, I don't want to leave.
It’s here. So, you’d better come back.”
Su Nanjin was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't quite understand: "Qiqi, the situation in the imperial city is very tense now. If you don't leave, if something happens, I will... I will be very sad..."
Bai Qiqian grinned with a bitter smile: "Mr. Su, you know, the only person I, Bai Qiqian, loves in this life is Ye Liyuan, so how could I leave with you?"
Su Nanjin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, she confessed: "Qianqian, actually I am Ye Liyuan."
Bai Qiqian said lightly: "Oh, but I don't believe it. Back then, Ye Liyuan was furious because of what happened between you and me. He disliked me and was very dirty." It was very dirty. At that time, his dignity was destroyed.
He trampled on the ground fiercely, "He can't wait to drive me out, but you are here to pick me up. How can you be the same person?"
Su Nanjin stepped forward, held Bai Qiqian in her arms, and whispered: "Qianqian, at the beginning I was afraid that Ye Jinjue would use you to contain me, so I could only find a way to drive you out of the palace.
"
I feel so distressed. Until now, is he still deceiving her with sweet words?
Bai Qi smiled slightly, but there was no belief in her eyes: "You hurt me, but Ye Jinjue still puts me under house arrest in the palace, doesn't he?"
Su Nanjin nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that he would still issue the imperial edict and ask me to send you to the palace. Qianqian, I will not let you suffer again in the future."
Bai Qiqian grinned, but the smile was dull: "Ye Liyuan, if you said these words just to make me die for you willingly, then I tell you now, you did it. Can we see you again?
As soon as I see you, I'm satisfied. So, you can do whatever you want."
Why do the people you think about day and night no longer believe in you?
Pain arose in his heart, and he moved his lips, trying to explain something, but found that he couldn't speak after all.
Bai Qiqian sneered, this person was really ruthless. Since he wanted to come back and see him, he couldn't give him a few more words to give him a thought.
He was so angry that he could at least let her experience the taste of a beautiful woman who was in trouble.
Seeing that she was angry, Ye Liyuan sighed slightly in his heart. But he thought that he must take her away from here today so that she could understand his feelings and know that he really didn't want anything to happen to her. Ye Liyuan felt deeply
He took a breath, then released his arms around Bai Qiqian, and strode out of the door.
Bai Qiqian's voice came from behind him: "Ye Liyuan, I thought at first that even if I die, I will die by your side. Later, I figured out your plan. You will achieve great things, naturally.
One person needs to be sacrificed. But if a fool like me comes to the door, you will naturally be happy to accept it. It is enough to use this reason to raise an army. "
Ye Liyuan's footsteps stopped. What on earth was this woman thinking about?
Did he think that she was left in the palace because of his design? He thought that he needed to use this reason to start a rebellion? It is undeniable that this is indeed a good reason, but he does not bother to do so.
