Chapter 161 Li Rongyue's Intervention
Chapter 161 Li Rongyue's Intervention
This evening.
Bai Zhaozhao recalled the entire incident of the palace banquet and was sure that his methods were relatively covert. However, there were so many eyes in the palace and the Jinyiwei were no incompetents, so it was certain that the emperor probably knew the truth.
It seems that I should be more cautious in the palace in the future and not do anything naughty.
Just when I was about to enter the space, I was rejected!
This is the second time!
anyone?
Bai Zhaozhao thought that his martial arts skills were quite good and his five senses were very sharp, but he didn't notice anything at all. He even didn't know which direction to shoot the flying needle in his hand!
What a terrifying hiding ability!
This person is much stronger than Shizi An, but that’s not right, Shizi An didn’t hide anything at all in the beginning.
Bai Zhaozhao walked into the yard and said softly, "Your Excellency may as well show up and talk. As long as you don't hurt my family, everything is fine."
After a while, a figure appeared on a tree in the corner. He slowly walked from the darkness to the moonlight. He was tall and straight, with a hint of attachment on his handsome face.
Li Rongyue.
"Miss Bai is amazing. I have only been hiding here for less than a quarter of an hour."
Bai Zhaozhao felt relieved when he saw Li Rongyue: "What is Commander Li doing? Are you a thief?"
"Of course not. I just wanted to remind you to be careful in the palace."
"...Thank you!"
Li Rongyue was silent for a moment, then continued, "It's almost impossible to hide things in the palace from the emperor. Do you... understand?"
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes flashed: "I see! Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Rongyue shook her head: "No more."
After saying that, he flew away.
Bai Zhaozhao was a little frightened. Why did she feel that Li Rongyue's attitude towards her was so strange?
Last time he said he fell in love at first sight, and this time he came specially to spy on her, but they had only met a few times in total!
She really didn't want to believe that he had feelings for her, unless he was reborn. Wait, no way?
Is he reborn?
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little confused. It would be useless even if he was reborn because she was not reborn!
She only knew the plot, and her feelings towards him were from an outsider's perspective. Even if that was her past life, she didn't have that kind of real memory or emotions!
So in Bai Zhaozhao's view, the original owner was just an unlucky female supporting role. Even though she knew that it was her past life, she could not truly empathize with her.
Forget it, why think so much? All she can do now is to be herself.
Bai Zhaozhao didn't know that Li Rongyue came quietly to a place in the palace and threw a bundle into the palace while the guards were changing shifts.
That is Princess Changxing's place.
Soon, a scream woke up Princess Changxing. When she was about to lose her temper, she saw the blood-stained clothes brought by the palace maid. Her face turned pale instantly. She quickly ordered people to burn the blood-stained clothes and ordered them to keep their mouths shut.
A quarter of an hour later, a man who looked like a secret guard knelt in front of Princess Changxing.
Princess Changxing was furious and kicked him to the ground. "Waste! You couldn't even destroy a woman's innocence, and now you're all dead! It would have been fine if they died, but they even returned the bloody clothes to me! Are you blind? You didn't notice this? Can I still expect you to protect me?"
The secret guard was also shocked. "Princess, please forgive me. Princess Zhaohe must be protected by a master. I have just seen the wound on the bloody shirt. It is not the work of a woman. The person who threw the bloody shirt back must be a master who is familiar with the palace, at least at the level of a grandmaster!"
Princess Changxing calmed down and said, "You mean there is a great master who is familiar with the palace protecting her? How is that possible? Even if Uncle An gave her secret guards, it is impossible for him to know the palace so well... Wait, could it be Father?"
The secret guard continued, "Princess, this is the time when the guards change shifts. This person must know the Imperial Guards very well!"
Princess Changxing looked hesitant and said, "Don't worry about that bitch for now. Let me think about it."
The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Princess!"
Princess Changxing was no longer sleepy at this moment. She sat down and drank a sip of tea. Her personal maid Qingzhi knelt carefully at her feet and held the foot that had just kicked the secret guard in her arms and gently rubbed it: "Princess, why do you have to be angry with a county lady from the common people? How can such a lowly person make you upset?"
Princess Changxing's expression improved a little: "What do you know? She is the bond between Uncle An and the Bai family. Only when she loses her innocence can she arrange the marriage."
Qingzhi said obediently: "Princess, it's all my fault for being shallow and not knowing the deep meaning of this. I just feel that although the number one scholar Bai is favored by the emperor, he has no foundation after all..."
"Heh, only when you don't have a foundation will you cause strife. With the prophecy of Zen Master Guiyuan and the favor of the goddess, there are plenty of people who want to win them over."
"Then will this backfire on you, Princess?"
"Humph, that bitch is so ignorant. I invited her to the palace banquet, but Rouping refused. They are so close, how could she be willing to follow me?"
"Princess, you are right. Princess Zhaohe must be blind. How can Princess Rouping compare to you?"
"Forget it, first help me find out who she is friendly with. The people who protect her may not be from the palace."
"Yes, princess!"
Due to Li Rongyue's intervention, Bai Zhaozhao was unaware of Princess Changxing's plan. She happily went to the outskirts of the city to get a whole year's dividend from Baiji Workshop, and sent someone to send a letter to Linyang County, stating that all the dividends from the clan there would be invested in the Sihai Chamber of Commerce of the fourth branch. She also asked Bai Che to make use of Yu Junqiu, as such talent should not be wasted.
Of course, there was something else that made Bai Zhaozhao even happier during the Chinese New Year, which was to go to Wang Jinnian to get a big red envelope and ask about He Anyu's situation. Wang Jinnian directly hit her: "He is very busy, and I guess he has forgotten about the red envelope."
Bai Zhaozhao's face was filled with regret: "Uncle Master, is there a possibility that you gave it to him?"
Wang Jinnian pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here now."
Get out!
Bai Zhaozhao always felt that Wang Jinnian somewhat disliked her. It was obvious that she was the one avoiding him before, so why was it the other way around now?
Well, it must be because the vest provides good protection!
After the New Year, the ministers resumed attending court.
That day, Bai Lin returned home with a gloomy face and took Bai Zhaozhao directly to Prince An's study.
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the gloomy faces of Prince An and Bai Lin, knowing that something must have happened that they could not solve.
Could it be that the plot guy thinks she is too happy during this period and must find some sense of existence?
After a moment, Bai Zhaozhao finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had made a big move!
After the morning court today, Emperor Yongkang called Prince An and Bai Lin to the imperial study and handed them two memorials.
One was a memorial from the Cheng'en Marquisate requesting the hand of Bai Zhaozhao in marriage. The emperor was concerned about the second son of the second wife, but he did not reject the memorial directly out of consideration for the Empress's face. He let Prince An refuse it himself.
Bai Zhaozhao also sighed. Although the Queen had her own ideas about her marriage, at least she did it openly and without making any stupid moves.
But it was different for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. They also submitted a memorial, saying that they hoped the Emperor and Prince An would respect the late princess's last wishes and marry Bai Zhaozhao to Chen Tianlin.
Bai Zhaozhao was stunned: "The late princess? Last wish?"
