Bai Mengtan thought about it along the way, she knew the meaning of her mother's words, but if she really wanted her to cut off the connection with Xia Yeteng, that would really break her arm, and maybe when the time came, she would be able to be pinched by Bai Mengsha.

Just as she was trying to figure it out, she heard the groom's shouting outside the curtain, and the horse was forced to stop.

Zhu Zhu lifted the curtain and said impatiently, "Why did you stop?" If you let the third princess be frightened, what should you be guilty of? ”

The horseman hurriedly jumped out of the car and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The third princess is small, wrong, but at the gate of the Zixuan Palace in front, there are many guards, and it is really impossible to get through." ”

"Guards?" Bai Mengtan's willow eyebrows were locked, on weekdays, she relied on the protection of her father, and there were few people in the palace who dared to come to her palace to make trouble.

She put her hand on the palm handed over by Zhuzhu, and her gait was light and elegant, like a noble white swan slowly stepping out of the carriage.

At this time, one after another, more than a dozen guards came to surround Bai Mengtan and them.

"Third princess, it's time to give a courtesy." The man's voice was deep and powerful.

Bai Mengtan seemed to have expected who was coming.

The guards parted to the sides, and a pair of studded military shoes stepped in front of them, a man five feet tall, with dark skin and upright features, who looked to be in his thirties.

"General Joe." Bai Mengtan gave a gift.

Qiao Zhen is the general who guards the northern capital, and the northern capital under his protection has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there are few people who are traitors and criminals.

In his previous life, the general was also loyal to his father.

I don't know why he came here today, is he really here to arrest her and ask for her guilt.

Qiao Zhen saw Bai Mengtan's doubts and saluted.

"Don't hide it from the third princess, the prince of Yanbei was personally brought to Northern Qi by Weichen, I heard that he was seriously injured in a fire in the courtyard last night, and His Majesty Weichen asked for his resignation several times, but to no avail. Only then did I find out that His Royal Highness the Prince was placed in the Zixuan Palace of the Third Princess, and they all dared to ask the Third Princess to let Weichen and the Prince meet. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is in poor health, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint General Qiao." Even if she knew that Qiao Sizhen was loyal to her father, she still didn't dare to take this risk.

To the summer night vine is unjust.

When Qiao Zhen heard this, his request was fruitless, and his face looked a little more angry, "Third princess, she is a rough person below, and I brought His Royal Highness the prince into the palace." If it is true, as the rumors say, the fire in the Shizi Courtyard last night was set by someone with a heart, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he used his power to imprison people, then the officials and subordinates will be forgiven. ”

"Qiao Zhen, you dare." Bai Mengtan's white sleeves waved, even if he was only thirteen years old, he could be born into a royal family and the majesty he was born with, which made everyone present timid.

"Last night, Imperial Doctor Fu has already diagnosed and treated the prince, the prince is too seriously injured to see outsiders, I don't believe that General Qi can ask Imperial Doctor Fu to know." Not to be outdone, Zhuzhu defended her master, and dared to bully her third princess, even if she was a general, she didn't take it to heart.

Bai Mengtan didn't want to reason with him anymore, and turned around and said, "If General Qiao doesn't believe in this palace, then you can be outside the Zixuan Palace, and wait slowly." The beaded beads with the sleeves and the face of the sleeves did not change and walked into the temple.

Qiao Zhen was about to follow up, but the guards guarding outside the gate of Zixuan Hall forcibly stopped him outside.

If you really break in, I am afraid that it will alarm Your Majesty, and I didn't wait to find out the news of His Royal Highness, but the gains outweighed the losses.

Bai Mengtan and Zhu Zhu glanced over, and they were very relieved to see Qiao Zhen doing anxiously outside.

But for now, she still has to discuss with Natsuyoto how to deal with the next thing.

When I arrived at the bamboo building, Xia Yeteng was leaning against the chaise longue by the window, pretending to close my eyes and bask in the sun with peace of mind.

Seeing such a leisurely Xia Yeteng, Bai Mengtan became angry, and he ran around all night for his business, busy like a spinning top. Later, I have to go to my father to ask for my guilt. He didn't care about himself.

Bai Mengtan rolled her clear eyes, and her small mouth curled and smiled, like a cunning little fox. First, he approached lightly in the direction of the summer night vine, and he was about to walk to the edge of the chaise longituna.

Suddenly, he called out, "Brother Shizi, there are mosquitoes." ”

Aimed at Xia Yateng like a vicious dog, Xia Yeteng turned around directly, and Bai Mengtan, who originally wanted to scare him, was about to shoot out of the window before he had time to dodge.

Xia Ye Teng's long legs stretched, and Bai Mengtan hugged Xia Ye Teng's thighs as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

He kept muttering, "It's okay, it's okay." "The little face is as white as a singer.

"Ahem...... Third princess, how long are you going to hold it? Xia Yeteng asked with a straight face, pointing unceremoniously to the leg she was holding.

"Hehe......" Bai Mengtan's fair little face instantly turned red like a freshly ripe apple, delicate and gorgeous.

She hurriedly let go of the hand holding Natsuyoto, thigh. praised "Brother Shizi's legs, the leg shape is not only slender, but also strong and powerful. I don't know how many girls will fall under your long legs. ”

Xia Yeteng raised his eyebrows, he listened to this, how could the more he listened, the more wrong it became, thinking about daring to love, the girl in Northern Qi likes people by looking at her legs.

He asked seriously, "Third princess, is it because you have a crush on your legs?" ”

What! Looking at the upper legs? Bai Mengtan shook his head like a rattle, yes, denied it.

Xia Yeteng knew that there was not a serious word in the little girl's mouth.

Raise your hand "Tea." ”

Bai Mengtan, who had just gotten up, hurriedly came over and poured tea for him.

The tea is fragrant and fragrant, which relieves the boredom of this hot summer.

Bai Mengtan didn't forget to take a pu fan and fanned him enthusiastically.

The one who invited the merit said, "Brother Shizi, do you guess who I met outside the temple when I entered the temple?" ”

Xia Yeto took care of his own tea, the trivial affairs of the harem woman, that was what he, a foreign man, should take care of.

Bai Mengtan saw that he ignored herself, she adjusted her mentality, and if Brother Shizi didn't ask, it didn't mean that she couldn't say, and then said, "General Qiao, who is guarding the city, I don't know who revealed the news, and I am clamoring to see you outside the palace." He didn't even believe that Imperial Doctor Fu confirmed that you were seriously ill, so he had to say that I had put you under house arrest. ”

When the young man heard this, he grabbed Bai Mengtan's hand, and unconsciously increased the force on his hand.

Bai Mengtan struggled vigorously with pain, "Brother Shizi hurts." ”

The young man came back to his senses and immediately asked, "Then he is a person at this time?" ”

"Waiting outside the temple gate." Bai Mengtan pouted, rubbing his aching wrist, and the golden silk vine bracelet was successfully exposed.

Wearing it on her white little hands, it complements each other and looks very good.

Natsuyoto sensed his attention and was distracted.

Dare to get back to the point.

"When I came to Northern Qi, I was taken care of by General Qiao, and this time I was assassinated by him, so as a friend, I naturally wanted to visit."

Bai Mengtan nodded as if he understood.

But as the queen mother said, my father has suppressed this matter, and some of the people related to last night have also been disposed of.

How many palace people in the palace only know about the fire last night, but few people know about the assassination.

In just one night, General Qiao already knew about the matter, either there was an internal response in the palace, or someone deliberately wanted to provoke the incident.

"Brother Shizi, you are alone in Northern Qi, I'm not afraid that someone will be unfavorable to you, if you are really angry, I will immediately order someone to let General Qi in."

Bai Mengtan said, and he was about to call Zhuzhu up.

Xia Yeteng hurriedly blocked her small mouth with her hand, and the palm of her hand was close to the girl's soft lips, as if she had accidentally licked her tongue by a kitten.

He let go of his hand unexpectedly, and looked away from his face to explain.

"I'm not angry."

I saw that his silver hair was vertical, and together with the half of his face that was exposed on weekdays, Bai Mengtan was almost gone.

Could it be that Brother Shizi would be shy, Bai Mengtan guessed.

Knowing that he would also be shy, Bai Mengtan thought to herself that she should tease him more just now.

However, now is not the time for her to let her guard down, and if anyone who can give General Qiao news knows that his plan has not succeeded, he is afraid that he will find opportunities again and again to disadvantage them.

"Then Brother Shizi is going to do it, what should I do next? Let General Qiao keep guarding the gate of the palace, I'm afraid it's not a solution. She expressed her doubts.

Xia Yeteng looked at it carefully, Bai Mengtan took a moment, and asked seriously, "Third princess, you intend to get close to make friends with you, but you really don't have any plans?" ”

Bai Mengtanxiang's shoulders shook slightly, she couldn't tell him that she did everything she could to please him, hoping that he would one day gain power and let go of Beiqi and let her go.

Thinking about it, the girl threw her skirt and knelt on the ground, her eyes firm.

"Presumably, Brother Shizi, I also learned about the current situation of my mother and me, the Xiao family is the dominant family in the imperial court, whether it is power or financial resources, no one in the entire imperial city can compete with it. If this continues, my mother and I will definitely become victims of this politics, even if the court now has the protection of our father. But as long as we have the slightest fault, it will be infinitely magnified. I don't want to be able to lean towards the government and the opposition, I just want to be able to live peacefully with my mother in this deep palace. ”
