Chapter Seventy-Three: Return to the Palace

In the next two days, Bai Qingting really didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and he recuperated without distraction.

Xiao Nianzi also wholeheartedly followed Xiao Er to learn skills outside, and was not at home at any time.

After two days, it was time for Bai Qingting to return to the palace.

She decided to let Xiao Er stay the night before to continue to teach Xiao Nianzi the skills of collecting news, but when she set off before dawn, Xiao Er said to her: "Girl, the son asked his subordinates to return to the palace with the girl, and they are not allowed to leave lightly for half a step, and they must protect the girl thoroughly." As for teaching Xiao Nianzi, Gongzi said that it would be handed over to Xiao Si. ”

Bai Qingting furrowed his eyebrows, and just wanted to open his mouth to reject Jun Ziheng's kindness, so he heard Xiao Er say again: "Girl, although my subordinates don't know what happened to the girl and the son, so the girl doesn't want to have more to do with the son, but this series of plots, the girl has escaped three times in a row, and it is a fluke......

However, it was only three things, and Xiao Er was very worried, and said sincerely: "Girl, this is an extraordinary time, and it is better for subordinates to stay by the girl's side." ”

Xiao Er was reasonable, Bai Qingting naturally understood, she just nodded slightly in the end, and got into the carriage without saying a word.

Xiao Er and Xiao Nianzi then sat in the driver's seat, and when Xiao Nianzi was going to drive the carriage back to Baifu, they went together.

But what did Xiao Si do when he came up, Bai Qingting didn't understand, she ordered Xiao Er to stop the carriage, and held the curtain to watch Xiao Si ride a horse and chase after him.

"Didn't you say that there were no horses in the palace?" She asked Xiao Er.

Xiao Er replied: "Originally, there was none, but the day after returning from the Red Maple Forest, Gongzi gave an order and took Xiao San to buy several horses to raise in the mansion. ”

Bai Qingting couldn't help but chuckle, was he afraid that he would be forcibly taken on the horse next time.

At this time, Xiao Si had already stopped beside the carriage by the stiff rope, he turned off the horse, and saluted to Bai Qingting: "Girl, the son asked the little one to hand over this thing to the girl." ”

He handed over a brocade box, Bai Qingting hesitated, but did not take it.

Xiao Si, Xiao Er and Xiao Nianzi looked at each other, Xiao Er's heart turned over a few waves, she felt that since the red maple forest came back, something was quietly changing and gradually deteriorating.

"Girl?" Xiao Si raised the brocade box in his hand.

Bai Qingting took it with a smile, "Thank you for me." ”

"You're welcome, girl!" Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent it out, if the girl refused to accept it, the son couldn't spare him.

"Let's go." Bai Qingting lowered the curtain and stared at the brocade box in his hand.

When the carriage of Baifu went away, Xiao Si rode around and walked a few streets, stopped next to the carriage of Junfu, and said, "Son, the girl has accepted the brocade box and returned to the palace." ”

After a moment of silence, Jun Ziheng's voice came from the carriage, "Did she say something?" ”

In the past two days, he was busy with the arrow attack, and occasionally found time to see her, but he always kept her out of the house and did not let her in.

Everyone couldn't understand it, but they could only do what she wanted.

Every time Aunt Wu conveys her words, they are all the same: "Lord Jun is the pillar of the country, Qingting is just a female official in a small palace, in the final analysis, she is just a slave, and Qingting does not dare to climb high." ”

She deliberately distanced herself from him.

When he realized this, he felt that it was black in front of him, just like the moment he learned that she had died in the fire, the darkness was like a tide, swallowing all his perceptions and shells.

"The girl didn't say anything......" Xiao Si hesitated, and his words were not finished.

Jun Ziheng saw it, and Xiao San also saw it, and he said anxiously: "What is Bai Daizhao's reaction?" Say it quickly! ”

The girl hesitated for a long time before taking the brocade box, like ......" Xiao Si still didn't say anything, but everyone present understood the meaning of his unfinished words.

Bai Daizhao not only refused to see his son, but even reluctantly accepted his son's gift.

Xiao San looked at the son in the carriage worriedly, the brocade curtain was hanging, he couldn't see the child's expression, but he had been with the son since he was a child, and he knew what kind of affection the son had for the girl who had been engaged since childhood.

After nine years of sadness and grief alone, it was not easy to see that the betrothed girl had not died, and she was as happy as rebirth.

But Bai Daizhao's attitude has become completely different since he came back from the Red Maple Forest, treating Gongzi like a stranger, and even he, an outsider, can't bear to look at him directly, let alone Gongzi.

Childe must be very sad!

Xiao Si didn't know what was going on, and seeing Xiao San's depressed face, he touched Xiao San's arm with his elbow and asked, "Didn't you say that the girl and the son have a good relationship?" Why don't I look like that? ”

Xiao San drooped his head, and after being hit by Xiao Si on the arm several times, he also got angry, and said loudly: "Ask!" What a question! I don't know what the girl's family is thinking! I was still laughing in the morning, but I cried at night! ”

Xiao Si was dumbfounded, and was suddenly overwhelmed by Xiao San's shouting.

Jun Ziheng's voice came out of the carriage again, "What nonsense! You are even more angry than me, the righteous master, should I commend you as the first loyal servant so that you can dissipate your anger? ”

Low and gloomy, steady and steady, not much different from weekdays, but the three and four children heard it, and the son was angry.

At the same time, they understood a truth, no matter how bad Bai Daizhao (girl) is, he can't say it!

"Let's go, it's time to go to court." After extinguishing Xiao San's arrogance, Jun Ziheng said.

The carriage of the Junfu slowly turned out of the street and drove slowly in the direction of entering the palace.

It was still Shui Bo who drove, the third followed the side, and the fourth went back to Nanyan Street.

When waiting in front of the royal room, Bai Qingting took every step, and her right calf was like walking on a steel needle, and the pain made her clench her teeth and cold sweat.

She walked in a good posture without showing any clues.

She looked as usual, without showing the slightest weakness.

Liu Dehai was frightened, always worried that her right leg would be useless if she persisted, and she injured her right leg last time, and this time the arrow was shot in her right leg again, he was really distressed and worried about her.

"Do you have any opinion on the attack on the Red Maple Forest?" Long Xuan asked Bai Qingting.

Si Jingming has returned to Kyoto, and Hong Dingyan is being held in the prison of the Criminal Department awaiting trial, which is the imperial concubine's faction.

Jun Ziheng reported to the emperor on the matter of the arrow attack in the early dynasty, please play a strict investigation, the emperor approved, this is the queen's faction.

The emperor's arrangement is already a two-pronged approach, without impartiality, which means comprehensive suppression, and must not let one of the two factions run rampant, killing the two factions and reinvigorating the authority of the Son of Heaven.

This will also ask, showing that she is tempted.

"The slave and maid are fortunate to have a life back, but fortunately, they don't dare to have any more opinions." Bai Qingting lowered his head and returned decently.

"Your life is at stake, and you can speak boldly without worry." Long Xuan didn't want to let her go easily, and insisted on asking her to say something.

Bai Qingting knew that he couldn't dodge, so he simply replied: "Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the slave to die, I only hope that Tianwei will always be there." ”

Long Xuan's pair of dragon eyes stared closely at Bai Qingting who bowed slightly, sharp as an arrow, his sword eyebrows were lightly raised, and the cold and fierce Tianwei overwhelmed Bai Qingting under the imperial case, and every nerve was tense, and he didn't dare to breathe, holding his head in a breath.

The emperor was not happy, and in a few breaths he could take her head, faster than any faction that wanted to kill her.

Everything is silent, and the hour seems to condense at this moment.

After a while, Long Xuan put down the red pen in his hand, smiled slightly with his handsome face, and said: "I see that your leg injury has not healed, and your face is extremely ugly after enduring the afternoon, let's go back to Qinghua Pavilion to rest, don't let the world know, and I think that I treat everyone leniently, but I am harsh on the Bai Dai Zhao who serves around me." ”

Liu Dehai, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Qingting's body was weak, and he already knelt down to thank him.

After exiting the royal room, she stumbled on her legs as she stepped out of the threshold and almost fell.

Fortunately, Xiao Qizi, who was guarding outside, helped her, "Sister! Are you alright? ”

Bai Qingting's hands were cold.
