Bai Ji slowly opened her eyes and looked carefully at the woman in blue in front of her - Zhang Xiu'er? It's a familiar name...... Where had she heard it?

By the way, Wang Xuan of Youzhou once married a concubine, and colluded with Wang Xuan's mother, Mrs. Zhang, and even planned to frame the thirteen-year-old woman "Dong Xiaoyou", Zhang Xiuer! In that memory, Zhang Xiuer was whipped fifty, and then driven out of the Wang family, and has not been heard from since. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info By chance, I once heard outsiders say that after Zhang Xiuer returned to her parents' house, she was abandoned by the Zhang family because of her bad reputation and became a helpless beggar...... Unexpectedly, today I actually met her in the Baihualou in Chang'an City!

At this time, Zhang Xiuer also looked at Bai Ji with confusion: Yes, although her appearance looks very young, it is completely consistent with the facial features of the Rong girl back then, and the maid also said just now that she is a person from Xuanwu County, Youzhou, so I don't think it will be the second person...... It's just that I don't know what happened to this Xu Rong, and it turned out to be like this, because Zhang Xiuer remembers it very clearly: she was only thirteen years old back then, then Xu Rong was already over fifteen, and now she should be at least twenty years old, and it is impossible to be just the appearance of only twelve or thirteen years old now.

How can anyone really "rejuvenate" in this world? Unless she's a fairy and a ghost...... Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuer felt that it was better for her to recognize the wrong person.

The confusion in Bai Ji's eyes gradually dissolved: "Xiu'er...... I remember, you, weren't you kicked out of the royal family? ”

Zhang Xiuer was stunned for a while, and then affirmed: she is indeed Xu Rong! Xiu'er barely squeezed out a smile: "Rong'er...... Sister? You really are ......."

In fact, Xiu'er is now nineteen years old, her appearance and posture are gorgeous and mature, but Bai Ji in front of her is as naïve as a girl who has not yet reached her age, and Xiu'er is a little hesitant in her heart: Should she continue to call her sister... Eventually, though, she decided to stick with her old name.

"Go down first......"

Xiu'er asked the maid behind her to exit the room, and then closed the door, so that outsiders would never hear what the two of them said.

After Xiu'er confirmed that the girl in front of her was Xu Rong, she sighed: "I didn't expect to meet you here...... Yes, I was indeed kicked out of the Wang family back then, and since then I have been charged with framing Mrs. Luling and being unchaste. Come to think of it, Sister Rong should also know that although our Zhang family is not a very big wealthy family, it can also be regarded as a famous family in Youzhou, how can my father tolerate a daughter like me? So...... I was kicked out of the house, and since then I have been living on the streets, and I have been transferred to the Central Plains, and then I was picked up by Aunt Xiang...... Up to now, I have been in Baihualou for four or five years. ”

Bai Ji listened to Zhang Xiu'er's experience and sighed: "I didn't expect it, you have also experienced a lot of ups and downs...... Back then, the person who hurt you so badly was me, and now ...... Do you want revenge? ”

"Revenge?" Xiu'er's flat face showed a look of surprise: "Sister Rong, you are really worried...... Yes, I hated you, but do you think I really think you hurt me to this point? To be honest, I don't even think about the clothes that appeared in that bag now, it's not yours, it's mine...... I don't bother to guess such a strange thing. ”

"Oh?"

"Back then, I was a little clever, and I even thought that I could beat the princess, so I listened to Mrs. Zhang's clever words, and wanted to grasp the power of the Wang family through Mrs. Zhang's means...... I didn't expect it, hey...... Wang Xuan's person is really a thin lover, he spoils me in private, and when something really happens, he turns his face when he says it...... The man under this world, well, I've seen through it all these years. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiu'er looked at Bai Ji meaningfully and said, "Sister Rong, aren't you the same yourself?" You should know what Wang Xuan is doing to you...... However, King Luling only needs one word, doesn't he have to serve you obediently? I thought that you would be a person who was a hundred times luckier than me, but then I heard that the king of Luling had passed away for some reason, and all the people in the palace were punished for rebellion...... I didn't think you were alive, alas...... Look at it, after so many years, haven't we both fallen into Baihualou? ”

Zhang Xiu'er's words are not false, although her attitude towards Bai Ji is not very friendly, but there is no resentment between enemies, it is very plain, just like Bai Ji treats others. This made Bai Ji appreciate it very much, she said: "You are right, in the world, the world is unpredictable, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to see it in a short period of time......"

"What about you?"

Zhang Xiu'er asked, "What are your plans?" Now that you are trapped in Baihualou, what kind of person is that Aunt Xiang, I think I know enough...... Even if you don't want to be a prostitute, she has thousands of ways to force you to comply, I'm not scaring you, I've been here for so many years, how many women would rather die than obey...... She can also make these chaste and fierce women become shameless prostitutes...... You are born so beautifully, she will never let you go. ”

Bai Ji shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to be here, it's just that ...... I had an appointment with a man before, and I must return to him...... That's why I had to leave, and if it weren't for this agreement, it would be the same everywhere. ”

"I see...... You are leaving, who is the person you have an appointment with, can you tell me? Zhang Xiuer asked.

"You're trying to help me?" Bai Ji looked at Zhang Xiu'er with a little incredulity.

"I can't help you...... It's just that if you stay here, I think sooner or later you will rob you of the position of the top card of Baihualou, if you are not there, it will be good. But if I had to find a way to kill you...... Aunt Xiang will definitely not spare me, after all, you are a far more precious cash cow than me in her eyes. Therefore, if the person you have an appointment with is a dignitary, it will be a good thing for both of us to let him take you away. ”

Zhang Xiu'er said calmly, without any adulteration, she had already let go of her old grudges now, and she really didn't feel any anger when she looked at Bai Ji.

"Well, do you know Dong Zhuo?"

"Be the prime minister!" Zhang Xiu'er's eyes widened, "Could it be that what you said is the person who has an appointment with you...... It turned out to be Dong Xiangguo of the current dynasty? ”

"Yes, it is Dong Zhongying, I promised to be by his side until he dies."

"......" Zhang Xiu'er looked at Bai Ji intently, trying to see from her face whether she was talking nonsense...... However, Shirahime's look told her that it was definitely not a lie.

Zhang Xiu'er got up and walked towards the door: "It's a big matter, if you are really the person that Dong Zhuo values, presumably with his powerful position, he will definitely search for your whereabouts in Chang'an...... And once he knows that you are detained in the Qinglou, I am afraid that everyone here will not escape death. I'll find a way to let Dong Zhuo know you're here...... However, I also hope that you can promise me that at least you can spare many innocent girls here. ”

Bai Ji looked at Zhang Xiu'er's back and said slowly: "...... I can't guarantee that Dong Zhuo has a brutal personality, and besides, he may not listen to my words now...... If he really wants to kill you in a fit of rage, I can't dissuade him, Xiu'er, if you are embarrassed, don't worry about it, frankly, I am already surprised that you can do this now, so I don't expect anything from you. ”

Zhang Xiu'er couldn't help but smile lightly: "If it is changed to other women, not to mention whether they can influence Xiangguo's decision, as long as they want to escape from such a place, even if they lie to me, they will definitely swear a promise...... However, it is rare for you to be able to say it so bluntly. ”

Bai Ji smiled calmly: "I won't lie." ”

-- Her demeanor can even be said to be disdainful of deception, whether she has power beyond the reach of ordinary people, she is always such a lofty and unforgiving attitude.

Zhang Xiu'er walked out silently, should she send someone out to deliver a letter to Xiangguo...... She hasn't thought about it yet, after all, this is about the lives of hundreds of people in Baihualou, she has no grievances against Bai Ji now, if it's a small favor, she can help it casually, but the other party is Xiangguo...... That's hard to say.

******

Aunt Xiang came to the dungeon in the evening.

"Well, how's that girl?"

"Mrs. Hui, at noon, Miss Xiu'er came to see it once...... But she didn't seem to say anything, she still sat in it honestly, and she didn't cry out about being hungry or crying. ”

"Oh, Xiu'er has been here too......" Aunt Xiang narrowed her eyes slightly, "That girl...... I remember, Xi'er, she didn't eat the Hu Cake you gave her, right? ”

Aunt Xiang asked Xiang Xi'er.

"Yes, madam, the slave gave her the cake, she gave it to the little girl who came to Ying'er......"

"So, it's been a day and a night since yesterday dusk, and she hasn't eaten anything?"

"Hmm...... And, ma'am, she was on the run before, so she might have been hungry for days, right? ”

"It's really weird...... How can anyone be hungry for a few days and be fine? She won't faint from hunger, will she? ”

"Mrs. Hui, the slaves and maids don't dare to slack off, Shicai also went in to take a look, although she seemed to be sleeping with her eyes closed, her breathing was still very steady, and she didn't look like a person who was starving to death at all."

“…… Could it be that I picked it up, and it's really a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world? Aunt Xiang was puzzled.

"Madam, where are there any fairies and demons in this world......" Xi'er said.

"Yes." Aunt Xiang nodded, if there were really fairies and demons, there would be a lot of women she forced to die, and those unjust souls who had died should have come back to her to ask for their lives.

"Madam, even if some people are about to starve to death, they are no different from normal people in the eyes of others...... Maybe that Rong'er girl is like this, she doesn't cry or make trouble, I'm afraid she has made up her mind to starve Mingzhi to death. ”

"Xi'er, what you said makes sense......

Aunt Xiang touched her pointed chin and thought: Don't let that girl really be hungry for anything, that's a peerless beauty.

"In my opinion, just locking her up and starving her has no effect...... It's better to take another approach. ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Drag her out for me tomorrow morning and torture her! But remember, you must not leave an incurable wound, but you must also beat her, this ...... You go to Gui Pozi, Rong Pozi, and Li Pozi, they are more experienced, whether it is to use a gold needle or a whip, anyway, they will toss it, don't kill people. I can't do it, no matter how chaste the rich daughter is, as long as she is beaten like this, there is no one who is not obedient. ”

"Yes, the slave gets it."

When Aunt Xiang was talking to Xi'er, Xiu'er just wanted to come to the dungeon again, she just wanted to see if Bai Ji was hungry, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation...... She shook her head and stepped back softly.

"It seems...... Tomorrow, she's going to have to suffer a little. (To be continued.) )
