249. Chapter 251: Reunion
Ru Xi first explained the situation here to Bai Liyang.
After hearing that Baili Xue was in Baili Yi's hands, Bai Liyang was a little worried, "The mother concubine was incompatible with the queen before, and I was afraid that Baili Yi would be unfavorable to Xue'er." ”
"I suspect that Xue'er was not captured by Bailiyi, but left by herself, we were all there that night, Xue'er's illness has been cured, if someone forcibly takes her away, there will definitely be movement, but we didn't hear anything."
"It's really ignorant!" Bailiyang was anxious, "I'm afraid that after she left, she met Bailiyi again, so she fell into Bailiyi's hands." ”
"It's possible." Ru Xi said, "But I'm more afraid that Xue'er will join forces with Bailiyi." ”
"Why?" Bailiyan asked.
Ru Xi hurriedly shook her head, "It's nothing." "What she did to Baili Xue, Baili Yang didn't know, not even Baizhu.
She didn't know if Bailiyang and Baizhu would forgive her when she told the truth.
When Baili Yu arrived the next day, everyone had just had lunch, and because Baili Yang made marks along the way, Bai Liyu quickly led everyone to the broken temple.
There are not many people brought by Baili Yu, except for the guard Duan Fei, there are only ten palace guards.
The people rode all the way, pulling some goods, dressed as merchants.
Since Ru Xi was captured by Ye Yong that day, Bai Liyu and Ru Xi have not met again, and it has been more than a month since calculating the time.
Seeing each other at this moment, I have a thousand words in my heart but I don't know where to start.
Because of important matters to discuss, the two did not have much chance to be alone even if they reunited after a long absence, and it was not until the evening that everyone rested that the two could get together for a while.
A full moon in the sky, the vegetable garden under the moonlight was quiet and peaceful, Ru Xi and Bai Liyu sat on the stalks, telling their thoughts about each other.
Baili Yu has not changed, he is still handsome, and he has a domineering spirit that he did not have before, perhaps because he is the emperor, but Ru Xi is obviously much thinner than before.
Seeing Bai Liyu felt distressed for a while.
"How did you lose weight like this?" Touching Ru Xi's face, Bai Liyu asked.
Ru Xi smiled and said, "How can you be thin, it's because you haven't seen me for too long." In fact, this time, she also found that she had lost a lot of weight, and her body, which had no flesh, became even thinner.
She eats no less food every day than before, probably because of the cause of poisoning.
"When the matter here is dealt with and you return to the palace, I must raise you to be fat for nothing."
"Good!" Ru Xi responded, but she had no bottom in her heart, the poison on her body had been too long, and she claimed to be a master of poisoning, but she didn't even know that she was poisoned.
She can't detoxify herself, and she doesn't know if the master can solve it, if she can't solve it, as Su Qingyan said, she can only live for one year.
What can you do in a year? It's just a sad feeling for the living.
The next day, they entered the city disguised themselves as merchants.
On this day, the city gate was more difficult to enter than the day before, and many ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city, and if they wanted to enter the city, they either had money or showed proof of residence in the city, otherwise, they were not allowed to enter the city.
Many people carry the vegetables they grow into the city to sell, and they can't make a few dollars a day, so they can only sigh and pick up the vegetables back.
It is also difficult to get out of the city, and the investigation is stricter, and some people are obviously people from the suburbs, but they are detained by the guards, saying that they are suspicious.
Seeing the people suffering, but as a prince but unable to do anything, Baizhu was angry for a while and wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Ru Xi and them, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”
The queen grabbed Baizhu's hand and reassured: "Calm down, we want to save the people of the world." ”
When they arrived at Ru Xi and the others, those guards saw so many people and shouted, "What are you doing in the city?" ”
Bailiyang disguised himself as an old man with a gray beard, and he replied in an old voice: "This official, we are going to the city to do business, these are family members, and those are helpers, please make it convenient." ”
Bailiyang stood behind and watched for so long, and could already see that these people just wanted money, and after speaking, he stuffed a bag of silver into the guard, and the guard took the silver bag and weighed it, then looked at the trucks, and said, "There should be a lot of money for business!" ”
Those insatiable eyes seemed to be dripping gold ingots.
Bailiyang said with a smile: "Business is not good now, and I can't make any money, it's enough for the family to eat and clothe the family, and there are some here, all for the official." ”
Another bag of silver was stuffed over, and the guard was satisfied, and shouted, "Go in, go quickly, there are still people behind." ”
Baizhu glanced at the guard again before entering the city.
Because there were more people, it was inconvenient to get in and out of the guest house, so Baizhu rented a courtyard from the staff in the city.
After lunch, everyone discussed a plan to deal with Bailiyi.
First of all, Baizhu and Bailiyang entered the palace to inquire about the news, and the others temporarily moved in the city to see if they could find out the favorable news.
All the guards also stayed in the courtyard just in case.
Bai Li Yu and Ru Xi disguised themselves as elderly couples and walked into the teahouse on the street, which, according to Baizhu, was the largest teahouse in the capital and the easiest place to find out the news.
Ru Xi and the others picked a table and sat down, because the clothes on the two of them were shabby, and the shopkeeper was busy greeting the other guests and ignored them.
There was a commotion in the teahouse, and everyone was gossiping.
"Have you heard, the eldest prince will ascend the throne in three days, and those who oppose it will be beheaded."
"How could I not have heard of such a big thing, even the old prime minister was killed by him, and three days later, I don't know how many loyal ministers will die in Huangquan."
"I also heard that after the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will send troops to attack the country of Qi, the country of Qi is rich in land and resources, and the eldest prince is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and when the time comes, it will be our people who will suffer."
"Now all those who are able to do so in the city have moved out, so that they may not be in trouble."
The voices of discussion came and went, all about Bai Lin's seizure of the throne, and the people in the city did not know much about Bailiyi's affairs.
After sitting for a while, everything that should have been heard was heard, Ru Xi got up and left with Baili Yu, and the shopkeeper was still greeting the guests on the other side.
Back in the courtyard, Bailiyang and Baizhu have already returned.
Seeing Ru Xi and Bai Li Yu, Bai Li Yang came over and said, "The entire palace is heavily guarded, and we can't get close at all. ”
"Then I'll go back in the evening." Baili Yu said.
Baizhu said: "If you go at night, you can enter through the south gate, where there are always fewer guards. ”
At night, the entire royal city was shrouded in hazy moonlight, and Ru Xi, Bai Li Yu, Bai Li Yang, and Bai Shu were dressed in night clothes and headed in the direction of the palace.
The south gate, as Baizhu said, only has a few guards, because the place opposite the south gate is the cold palace, and there have always been few people here.
The four of them entered the palace and went their separate ways.
Baizhu and Baili Yang together, Ru Xi and Baili Yu together, if there is something, they will release information.
According to the map drawn by Bai Zhu, this side is Bai Lin's palace, it seems that this Bai Lin is very afraid of death, and the guards inside and outside the palace surround and circle.
If you walk in like this, you will definitely be discovered, and even if you subdue the guards on one side, the guards on the other side will also find out.
In order not to startle the snake, Baili Yu stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Ru Xi's waist, jumped onto the tree outside the hall, used the tree as a cover, and jumped onto the glazed tile on the top of the hall.
Slightly removed the two tiles, and saw that the lights were shining inside, the palace maids and attendants stood in two rows, and in front of the table in the hall, Bai Lin was on a stool with one leg and drinking wine with a wine glass in one hand.
The palace maid stood cautiously and poured wine.
At the bottom of the glass, as soon as the Bailin wine glass was put on the table, the palace maid carried the wine jug over, I don't know if it was because of carelessness or because of fear, the palace maid shook her hand and spilled the wine on the table.
With a "snap", Bai Lin raised his hand and slapped the palace maid in the face, and the palace maid fell to the ground, immediately got up and cried: "Your Highness spares your life." ”
"Drag me out and cut it down." Bai Lin summoned another palace maid to pour wine.
The previous palace maid was dragged out by two guards.
Ru Xi pushed Baili Yu and signaled the direction of the palace maid, Bai Liyu nodded, and Ru Xi jumped off the roof.
The palace maid cried and was dragged by the guards in the direction of the imperial garden, presumably to go to the garden and kill again.
Ru Xi followed behind, until he reached the mouth of the imperial garden, and just when the two guards were about to make a move, Ru Xi rescued the palace maid in time.
The palace maid shouted and was covered by Ru Xi.
"Don't be silent, I won't hurt you."
Hearing that it was a female voice, the palace maid stopped crying, nodded vigorously, Ru Xi pulled off her scarf, and said, "Follow me." ”
The palace maid didn't dare to squeak, just nodded, followed behind Ru Xi, and saw that it was in the direction of Bailin Palace, the palace maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to move forward, Ru Xi knew what she was afraid of, and reassured: "Don't be afraid, I promise that you can get out of the palace alive." ”
"You're going to take me to the eldest prince?" The palace maid said scaredly.
"It's not." Ru Xi said, "Do you believe me? Trust me and follow me. ”
"You saved my life, of course I believe you." The palace maid said, still scared in her heart, so she reached out and grabbed Ru Xi's hand.
As soon as the two of them walked outside the hall, they met Baili Yu coming, the palace maid screamed in shock, Ru Xi wanted to cover her mouth too late, and heard the guards shouting: "There are assassins and assassins." ”
Ru Xi and Bai Li Yu knew that Bai Lin had been alarmed, so Ru Xi dragged the palace maid and went out of the palace with Bai Li Yu, and by the way, the signal was released.
Bai Zhu and Bai Liyang heard the signal and were about to retreat, but they were blocked by one person.
"Who? Dare to break into the palace at night? ”
The purpose of entering the palace tonight is to find out the whereabouts of Bailiyi, there is a way to break through the iron and find nowhere to go, and it is not wasted to find it, and I haven't found it for so long, but I was stopped by Bailiyi here.
Bailiyang and Baizhu glanced at each other, surrounded by a group of guards back to back.
"You go first." Bailiyang whispered.
As soon as the voice came out, it was heard by Bailiyan, and he laughed twice: "Who is my Dao, Bailiyang!" ”
"But you ......" Baili Yi is ruthless, if Baili Yang falls into his hands, his life is in danger.
