Chapter 6: Night Encounters

This dance was really amazing, and the eyes that were previously focused on Shen Ruojiao were all transferred to the dancer.

When the dancer looked up, Bai Zhen saw the dancer's face clearly, first stunned for a moment, and then her eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

But it was the moon that secretly glanced at the dancer several times, and she always felt that this dancer was a little familiar.

Shen Ruojiao secretly observed Bai Zhen, and sure enough, she saw him leaning sideways and whispering something to the Queen Mother.

It seems that nothing has changed, after the banquet, this dancing girl will be named Mei Qizi, and then become Concubine Mei step by step, and then I don't know who killed her, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Just as Shen Ruojiao fell into deep thought, Bai Zhen's clear voice sounded, "What's your name?"

The dancer replied timidly, her voice soft: "The slave's name is Lu Daimei." ”

Bai Zhen groaned, and obviously said that the words were meant to be rewarded, but his tone was cold and emotionless: "It's really a person like his name, so I will make you the seventh son of Mei, reward the bottle of red plum with gold entanglement, and give it to Jingchun Palace." ”

Lu Daimei thanked her for her gratitude, and then the audience was in an uproar, and even Queen Chen and Concubine Liu didn't react, but it was just a dance, why did they suddenly receive a reward.

Shen Ruojiao was also a little stunned.

She clearly remembered that Concubine Mei was awarded after the banquet, but today she was rewarded after the dance, why did there be a change?

First Bai Zhen's inexplicable targeting, and then the change in the time when Concubine Mei was sealed, the direction of things was completely unexpected by her.

She wasn't sure what that little change meant.

She looked at Bai Zhen in confusion, and just happened to meet Bai Zhen's line of sight, but for a moment, Bai Zhen looked away.

As soon as Shen Ruojiao took a breath of relief and put her mind at ease, she heard Bai Zhen's fluttering voice: "The so-called beauty, like Mei Qizi, can be regarded as famous." ”

How could she not understand, Bai Zhen's words were obviously ironic that she was in vain.

The eyes of the hall kept wandering between Mei Qizi and Shen Ruojiao, secretly contrasting.

One is a famous lady, the other is a market dancer, Bai Zhen compares the two, not to mention bias, but also with clear malice.

Shen Ruojiao didn't care how others secretly speculated, and let thousands of poisonous eyes stab at her, she also straightened her back, as if she was out of the matter.

This Bai Zhen will really add to the chaos.

Liu Guifei was a good person, and quickly adjusted her mood, and looked at Lu Daimei in the center of the hall with a smile: "Congratulations to Mei Qizi, there will be another sister in this palace in the future, and it will finally be lively again." ”

Concubine Liang was gentle and polite at first glance, and she also nodded yes, causing Bai Zhen to look at her twice.

However, Empress Chen blushed, looked at Lu Daimei hatefully, and was silent.

Shen Ruojiao took in this scene, frowned and pondered, after the good concubine was poisoned and died, it was Queen Chen who strongly advocated that Concubine Mei was suspected of murder, and after Concubine Mei was bailed, she died of a strange illness, is this really related to Queen Chen?

Queen Chen cared about Bai Zhen and hated the favored Concubine Mei, first borrowed a knife to kill people, and then blamed Concubine Mei, after failure, it was not impossible to get rid of Concubine Mei directly.

All of a sudden, on the feast that should have been full of joy, the atmosphere was strange and the undercurrents were surging, and everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.

As soon as the banquet dispersed, Shen Ruojiao did not stay long, and left the Queen Mother's Shouxi Palace without any nostalgia.

She has always been unfazed, and she is inexplicably a little uneasy.

Her appearance today will change the course of events. That is to say, even if she predicts the future, she must not be too public, and she must not be too hasty in secretly investigating the truth, and she needs to think about it in the long run, otherwise she will become a thorn in the side of the people behind the scenes.

If you want to break the game, you have to enter the game.

The road from Shouxi Palace to Hancui Palace, she has walked many times in the past, and when she walked on this road, she was outside the bureau and incompatible with this deep palace, and now she has stepped on this bluestone road and has become a person in the bureau.

The deep palace calculations that she avoided before, now she had to participate in them.

The bluestone path is deep and secluded, the candles on the side of the road are bright and extinguished, and the jumping wick is like Shen Ruojiao's heart at this moment, trembling and restless.

With a snap, the two lights and candles in front of him suddenly went out, and Shen Ruojiao paused for breath and stopped.

The light and shadow shifted, and the figure hidden in the darkness in front of him had nowhere to hide.

Shen Ruojiao frowned.

Yu Yue hurriedly stepped forward, protected Shen Ruojiao behind her, and scolded the figure sharply: "Who is there, don't hurry up and give way to the concubine." ”

The figure slowly came out of the darkness, dressed in bright yellow clothes, with a cold expression, thick sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a noble nature, it was Bai Zhen.

Ji Yue knew that she had collided with the nobles, and she was afraid that Shen Ruojiao would be affected, so she knelt down with a plop: "The slave should die, please forgive the emperor!"

Bai Zhen didn't even look at her, the pestle was in place, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Shen Ruojiao's face was cold, it was not enough for Bai Zhen to ridicule her many times at the palace banquet, and now she was even more wrong with this design.

She took it for granted that Bai Zhen was playing a trick on her, and wanted to use the fault of the moon to hold her accountable.

But Bai Zhen didn't attack immediately, but paced around her, and then stood in front of her, and the distance between the two was extremely close.

The two were in such a stalemate, so long that Bai Zhen could take advantage of the night to see the fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, so she snorted and opened her golden mouth: "You have been a lot more active recently." ”

Shen Ruojiao couldn't figure out the meaning of Bai Zhen's words, her throat rolled, and she said astringently: "Ruojiao has always adhered to her duty. ”

Bai Zhen laughed angrily, and his eagle-sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Ruojiao: "Abide by your duty? ”

Before Shen Ruojiao could respond, Bai Zhen reached out and hooked Shen Ruojiao's jaw, forcing her to look at herself, and said word by word: "It's best not to let me find out that you have done something sorry for me." ”

After saying this sentence fiercely, Bai Zhen let go of his hand, glanced at Shen Ruojiao deeply, and left in the direction where Shen Ruojiao came from.

Shen Ruojiao clearly felt the cold breath on Bai Zhen's body when he passed by her, and he was a little dazed for a while.

Seeing the bright yellow figure disappear at the end of the bluestone road, Shen Ruojiao hurriedly reached out and pulled up Jiyue, who had been kneeling aside.

Ji Yue rubbed her stinging knees, a little afraid: "The emperor snubbed the lady before, why is he targeting the lady everywhere now, or let's not show up in front of the emperor in the future, it's terrible." ”

Shen Ruojiao frowned slightly, she did not attend the palace banquet in her previous life, and naturally she did not meet Bai Zhen at night.

She didn't know why Bai Zhen was so targeted, could it be that she had forgotten some details?

Shen Ruojiao, who was preoccupied, naturally didn't notice that at the other end of the bluestone long road, Bai Zhen appeared from the shadow of the tree again, and watched the shadow disappear at the end of the road.

Deyong hurried over with a lantern, standing respectfully behind Bai Zhen, and his feminine voice revealed his identity: "The emperor can see the person he wants to see?"

Bai Zhen didn't answer, and gritted her teeth a little in annoyance: "She can't rest assured that she can't let him go?" It's just that she punished him for half a year, so impatient to come over to inquire, obviously happy and quiet, but she is willing to be wronged, participating in this kind of meaningless banquet, she really loves him." ”

Deyong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The concubine didn't inquire. ”

Bai Zhen was categorical: "She wants to inquire." ”

Deyong was silent, and put on a heavy cloak for Bai Zhen: "The concubine has gone away. ”

After a long time, Bai Zhen retracted his gaze and snorted.

"Let's go back to the palace. ”
