Chapter 19: Dark Tide
In the afternoon, the gate of Beichen Mansion was bustling.
"Look, look, that's the third lady of Beichen Mansion, worthy of being one of the three beauties in the imperial capital~" A few meters away from the entrance of Beichen, people gathered to come and go, and the person who spoke was a short and ordinary-looking person, but the clothes he was wearing were much better than ordinary people. It should be a child of a rich family, and there is a person of the same age next to him, and he should also be a child of a rich family when he looks dressed.
"It's really a beauty~ If I can marry such a beauty, I will be satisfied in this life" Another boy with a medium height and a handsome face looked at Beichen Hualan with bright eyes
"It's just you~ or the next life, this is the young lady of the prime minister's family!".
"Hmph~ You are not the same, coveting the beauty of others, until I heard that there is an idiot and ugly young lady in this Beichen family, I think you and her are quite a good match~ Hahaha" Several people were not far away while looking at Beichen Hualan, while sneering at each other.
Beichen Hualan relied on the mysterious power of Huang Duan, it was easy to figure out the conversation between several people, and when she heard others ridiculing Beichen Yanxi and praising her, she was even happier like a peacock: Look! Beichen Yanxi~ Hmph, you don't deserve to lift shoes for Miss Ben.
Beichen Yanxi and Lan snuggled up to each other, and her father, Beichen Heng, was already waiting at the door.
"Yan'er ~ come, come here" Beichen Heng is a gentle man, about thirty years old still like a twenty-year-old boy, handsome facial features, mature temperament, humble and polite, no wonder the people of Beichen Mansion like this second master.
"Dad, I've kept you waiting," Beichen Yanxi replied as he snuggled into Lan's arm and walked towards the carriage.
When passing by Beichen Hualan's side, his sharp eyes met Beichen Hualan's resentful and vicious gaze.
"Cheap hooves! Don't be complacent~ Tonight is your death," Beichen Hualan said in a voice that the two of them could hear.
"Until the end, I don't know who killed the deer" Beichen Yanxi didn't take Beichen Hualan to heart at all, after all, Beichen Hualan, a brainless woman, was just a pawn of the person behind her.
Next to Beichen Hualan, Beichen Huaqin kept her head down, unable to see what she was thinking, looking humble. As the saying goes, the dog that doesn't bark is the one that bites the most.
Beichen Yanxi looked at Beichen Huaqin slightly, and got into the carriage with the Lan family.
The carriage headed all the way to the palace.
In another alley after the carriage left, a man in white and four men in black were speeding in the direction of the palace, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
It is really worthy of the royal residence, and there is a luxurious scene everywhere, look at ~ the best jade used to make tables and stools in the gazebo...... At this time, Beichen Yanxi came to the Imperial Garden alone, and heard that the dinner party was set up in this Imperial Garden. The other ladies of the Beichen family have gone to the Queen Mother. According to the past practice, all the family members of the ministers of the court and the central government must go to the palace to greet the queen mother, Lan said that she did not have to go, first, she had never been to the palace and had never seen the queen mother, and second, she was afraid that her dignity would scare the queen mother, so Lan asked her to wait for them in the imperial garden.
In the woods elsewhere in the Imperial Garden, a man in black sneakily avoided the guards and galloped towards the woods.
"Are you all ready?" A middle-aged man in a cyan robe said with his back to the man in black who was kneeling on the ground.
"Rest assured by the host, everything has been arranged".
"Well, when the time comes, let's go down" As soon as Beichen Yuan's voice fell, the man disappeared into the woods.
"Second brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, this Beichen family will be mine sooner or later, you blocked my way, so you should be damned" The middle-aged man stood under the tree, his fists clenched continuously, and he left the woods in an instant.
In the Imperial Garden, Beichen Yanxi sat in the gazebo bored, he didn't bring a hat out today, but he had a red veil around his face, and his dress was also red.
"Hey~ Which young lady are you, now my young lady is going to rest in this pavilion, you leave quickly" A maid pointed at Beichen Yanxi with one hand on her waist and the other hand.
Beichen Yanxi didn't hear it, and played with the silver with his hands boringly.
"Get out of the way!" The little maid was in a hurry, and her young lady had already walked to the pavilion, and if she didn't get this woman out, her young lady wouldn't let her go.
"There should be a first come, first come, first come, your young lady will come if she wants to come in to rest, why let others go out" A warm and elegant voice came softly.
"Brother Liu~ You're here" Another yellow warbler-like voice came, and Beichen Yan was covered with goosebumps all over the ground.
"Siqi, you're here too" The man's magnetic voice also made Beichen Yanxi glance.
It turned out to be him! Hey~ This world is really small. is still a breezy and light, still gentle as jade, still a beauty!! Isn't this the same man I met at the door at noon today? It's just that the white clothes were replaced by bright yellow robes, and all the black hair was also tied up with a golden crown, and Yan Ran was dressed as a prince, and the royal momentum around him was completely released.
"Brother Liu~ I haven't seen you for a long time" A young girl in a goose yellow dress leaned towards the man next to her softly.
"Ouch~" Listening to the beauty's coquettish voice, when she looked again, her brother Liu had already come to Beichen Yanxi, and she was lying in the arms of a guard.
"Hmph~ Where did the fox spirit come from, actually seduced and lured Brother Liu" The woman in yellow snorted coldly and stood up from the guard's arms, straightened her dress, changed her smile, and walked towards Beichen Yanxi.
"Hello! I am Li Siqi, the daughter of Taiwei Li, this is the third prince, I don't know what to call the girl" Li Siqi greeted Beichen Yanxi with a smile.
"Beichen Yanxi" Beichen Yanxi spit out his name without being salty.
"You're that ugly and idiot Beichen Yanxi?" When Li Siqi heard Beichen Yanxi say his name, he immediately thought of Beichen Yanxi mentioned by Beichen Hualan some time ago; At that time, she went to Beichen Mansion to visit Beichen Hualan, but Beichen Hualan was bedridden, and it turned out that this was the one who harmed Beichen Hualan.
"Siqi!" The third prince frowned unhappily when he heard Li Siqi's words.
"Yes, Brother Liu, it's Siqi who is about to say the wrong thing in another world, and I hope Miss Beichen will forgive me" Li Siqi saw that the third prince was unhappy, and quickly apologized like Beichen Yanxi. Why does Brother Liu want to protect this ugly monster, Miss Ben must not be able to spare you!
"You guys talk, I'll go out and have a look" Beichen Yanxi is not going to have anything to do with these two, and got up and left the pavilion as he spoke.
The third prince and Li Siqi did not follow, Beichen Yanxi was here to enjoy the flowers and scenery and beauties, but the dark tide was surging everywhere in the palace.
In the imperial study of the palace, a man in his forties and fifties was sitting majestically in a bright yellow dragon robe, carrying a golden wine glass in his left hand and pounding on the table with his right hand.
"Use half of the guards to defend that thing to the north, and kill anyone if they get close!" The man confessed to the shadows.
There is no emotion in the "yes" voice.
"Master Qiqi, I found out yesterday that Shangguan Xi, the seventh prince of the Moon Wing Kingdom, appeared in the imperial capital, I don't know if it was coming for that thing," another hoarse voice in the dark said.
"Oh ~ Moon Wing Country?" The man stopped playing with the wine glass in his hand thoughtfully, and then said, "There is no forgiveness for killing!" As the words landed, it was the gin in his hand.
The palace is a place where there are hidden dangers everywhere, so she must be on guard at all times. Originally, I wanted to wait until after the banquet to sneak out to see the route of the palace, but now the silver has been twisting in her hand, and if she hadn't forced it down, the silver would have jumped to the ground.
"Master, I feel that there is a treasure about to be born on the north side of the palace, let's go over quickly" Yinzi's previous sharp voice became a little softer, but the words were not very clear.
"Treasure~?" Beichen Yanxi calculated the time of the dinner in his heart, and swept towards the north of the palace with the silver.
