Chapter 23 Bring the prince and brother to the Zixuan Palace
Xia Yeteng's pale side face, his eyes were solemn, he took out a white medicine bottle, the bottle was clearly printed with the totem of orchids, Bai Mengtan seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
In the medicine bottle, white powder was carefully sprinkled on her wound.
Bai Mengtan closed his eyes in fear, originally thinking that it would be very painful, but when the medicine powder was really sprinkled on the wound, there was only a cool feeling. She also made a very painful expression. Bai Mengtan half-opened one eye weakly, wanting to see Xia Yeteng's expression at this time.
The young man was expressionless, calmly changed the medicine for her, tore a piece of black cloth from his own body, and bandaged Bai Mengtan's wound.
The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and finally stopped beside the carriage.
Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xiao Shan saw whose carriage was in front as soon as he came. Hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and explained, "Tonight, the subordinate night patrol suddenly saw that there was a fire in the Shizi Courtyard in the distance, so he led the Praetorian Guards to inspect it. I don't know if the third princess is here, are you frightened? ”
"I'm fine......"
Bai Mengtan thought about it for a while, and glanced at it again, and Xia Yeteng, who had bandaged his wound for him in the car and sat next to her with his eyes closed.
She is fine, but now the person who wants to kill Shizi's brother is Bai Mengsha, if it is known to outsiders, Xia Yeteng will be fine. I'm afraid that it will alarm Bai Mengsha and send someone to assassinate him again.
No, I want to protect my brother.
Bai Mengtan closed his teeth, "Today I came to ask Brother Shizi for learning, but who knew that suddenly a group of black-clothed people broke into the courtyard and set fire to kill people." Fortunately, there is a brother who sacrificed his life to save me to survive, but it caused the brother to be unconscious. ”
"I remember that he saved me meritoriously, and now take him to my Royal Highness to recuperate."
Bai Mengtan said with tears in his eyes, and anyone would be moved.
Xiao Shan is a clear-eyed person, so he naturally understands the meaning of Bai Mengtan's words, since the third princess insists on protecting the prince of Yanbei, he can put aside today's matter.
"The subordinates obey the will of the third princess, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Yanbei has a special status, and His Majesty ...... there"
"Father, I will explain myself, Commander Xiao can rest assured." Bai Mengtan said.
Zhu Zhu saw that Xiaoshan's men and horses spread out on both sides to leave a road, and gave a look to the three trees and three stones standing under the carriage, and the two followed and got on the horse.
The groom whipped his leather whip and wandered away.
The fire in the Shizi Courtyard gradually burned in the wind, Xiao Shan immediately ordered someone to extinguish the fire, and when the fire was smaller, the men who cleaned up the mess reported that there were several charred corpses, but they had long been unable to see the appearance, and a jade plate with the word Xu was found on several people.
Xiao Shan stretched out his hand and pinched a jade plaque in his hand, looking in the direction of the carriage that disappeared into the night.
It seems that tonight's incident is getting more and more interesting.
Along the way, Xia Yeteng maintained a posture of closing his eyes and recuperating, and Bai Mengtan wanted to ask him if he was injured, but the words came to his lips.
Look, the three people in the carriage are on the same journey, but fortunately, the space in the carriage is spacious enough, even if it is not a problem to sit on the three more, otherwise she would have kicked people out.
I don't know if Miki has the ability to conjure tricks, but he just experienced a catastrophe, so he didn't know where to conjure a plate of pastries and savor it.
Miki brought out the pastry, noticed that Bai Mengtan had been looking at her, and stretched the pastry out.
"Third princess, do you want to eat?"
Bai Mengtan waved his hand, embarrassed, "No thanks, you eat slowly." ”
She was in the mood now, going to eat pastries, thinking about how she would explain when her father asked about the cause and effect of the incident.
Zhuzhu has been staring at the plate of pastries, but she can't speak because of her feelings, so she just waited for Sanshu to ask her, nodded her little head, grabbed the pastries one by one, and ate happily.
Natsuyoto knew when the little girl was worried, and peeked at her when she was unprepared.
For His Majesty in Northern Qi, he has already thought of countermeasures. However, I can see Bai Mengtan worried about his affairs, his worried little face, and there is some joy in his heart inexplicably.
Arrived at the Zixuan Palace.
In order to successfully cover up, Natsuyoto is really injured and unconscious. Bai Mengtan arranged a few guards and carried Xia Yeteng into the side courtyard.
There are only three trees and three stones guarding the courtyard, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Bai Mengsha there.
The dark guard came back to report as soon as possible, and learned that not only did he not kill Xia Yeteng, but he also implicated Bai Mengtan, but this was exactly what she wanted, and presumably his father would also know about it soon.
She squeezed the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand and smiled coquettishly.
said to the maid with a delicate face behind him, "Xixiang, you did a good job this time." ”
"It's an honor for Xixiang to be able to do things for the eldest princess."
Saika lowered her head, unable to make out the expression on her face.
Bai Mengsha actually shocked the horse, she had already seen that the little maid wearing a mask at that time was Bai Mengtan, and she wanted to humiliate her. But I didn't expect Natsuya to suddenly appear.
She has never paid attention to these two people, and used her secret guards to make this big scene. is to lead out Bai Mengtan, for some reason, the queen mother told her to just be optimistic about Bai Mengtan.
But she felt that she was bound to kill Bai Mengtan first and then quickly. This time the fire of the Shizi Courtyard, even if she can't move Bai Mengtan, it can also make the Xu family behind her turbulent, thereby reducing her sharpness.
When Xiao Shan came to report, Bai Chenyi finished the recital and pressed his temples with his hands tiredly.
Gonggong Chen presented a jade pendant engraved with the word Xu.
Under the light of the candlelight, there are cracks of different sizes on the surface of the jade pendant.
Bai Chenyi chuckled, his eyes were full of anger, and his big hand slapped the jade pendant in his hand and shattered.
Gonggong Chen, who was standing on the side, was trembling with fright. complained about who touched His Majesty's dragon scales.
Xiao Shan was soon summoned in, and he presented it to Bai Chenyi in 1510, seeing the fact that Xia Yeteng was taken away by the third princess in the Yanbei Shizi Courtyard, and found several jade pendants with Xu characters in the courtyard.
Bai Chenyi pretended to continue to correct the twists and turns, but the expression on his face had an irreplaceable majesty like an emperor, and he waved his hand to signal Xiao Shan to leave.
Gonggong Chen stood aside, always clever and eloquent, and he didn't know what to say.
"Chen Xi, do you think this matter will have anything to do with the queen?" Bai Chenyi's pupils asked rigorously.
He pondered and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the assassin has a jade pendant to testify, and the third princess also has evidence of being present, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yanbei is also being detained in the Zixuan Palace, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”
Bai Chenyi's expressionless palm split the originally crumbling bookcase in half.
Gonggong Chen was frightened, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on it, kowtowing vigorously, "Your Majesty spares your life, and the little one will never dare to speculate about the dragon's will casually next time." ”
"How many people know about it?"
"Your Majesty, ...... you are?" Chen Xi is the eunuch who has followed Bai Chenyi for the longest time, and he can climb to this position. Although he doesn't know everything about Bai Chenyi's thoughts, he can guess one or two.
He said sharply, "Xiao Shan belongs to the Xiao family, there are some things that still can't be known too much, all the people around Xiao Shan who know about this matter, it will not be a problem for your people from Dongchang to deal with these little Lou Lou." ”
"What Your Majesty handed over to Wechen, Wechen will definitely do it."
Chen Xi bowed his hand, with a deep smile on his face with red lips and white teeth, but Bai Chenyi, who only wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, had no time to notice the gloomy gaze behind the smile.
Late at night, Imperial Physician Fu received the order, and the Yanbei Shizi Courtyard accidentally caught fire, and the Shizi is now unconscious, and is temporarily placed in the Zixuan Palace.
He was ordered to come overnight to inquire, although this Yanbei prince was a hostage, but what if something really happened in the Northern Qi Kingdom? I am afraid that Yanbei will take this opportunity to cause an unprovoked war on the border.
At this time, the side courtyard of the Zixuan Hall is a bamboo building made of bamboo, and there is a small stream flowing by the side of the building, and there is a huge water windmill in the stream, which is constantly rotating.
Natsuya sat down against the open sill window on the second floor, and the moon was shining outside the night sky.
On the kang table next to him were several plates of delicate dim sum.
Bai Mengtan carefully picked up a piece of white snowflake cream.
"Brother Shizi, I know that you are angry with me, and I took you to my side courtyard without your consent when you were asleep, but you also have to be considerate of others, you couldn't help yourself at that time!" Bai Mengtan's small mouth was flattened, and the small mouth was as red as a freshly ripe cherry, which made people feel the urge to take a bite when they looked at it.
