Chapter 175: Forbidden Heart
Nei Shi comforted her at the time, she was the daughter of the Shizi Mansion and the only child of His Royal Highness the Shizi. persuaded her not to get involved in those things in the backyard that competed for favor, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince was her father.
It was precisely because of this sentence that Geng Zhi's internal affairs inadvertently touched her scales and made her angry, so she was punished by her.
blindly begging for mercy in internal affairs made Yin Xiu disgusted.
Useless bitch! Throwing away the leather whip, Lixiu angrily went straight to Chu Qingruo's courtyard.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince has instructed that no one can approach here." The guard in charge of guarding the courtyard saw her menacing and hurriedly walked out of the shadows.
"Fuck off." Lixiu's belly was full of anger and there was nowhere to vent, and the guard's obstruction seemed to challenge her authority.
"I'm sorry, miss, this is the villain's duty, please don't embarrass the villain." The young guard saluted her without humility or arrogance.
"You!" Lixiu pointed at him and was speechless, "Sister, sister! How? Are you hiding from Yoon so now? Shouting loudly into the courtyard, she was cunning and used the method of agitation.
In the courtyard, Chu Qingruo, who was reading a book under the eaves, heard her shout and couldn't help laughing.
Dared? It's really like his father.
Gently closing the book in her hand, ignoring her cries, she entered the room and closed the door gently. She's just a child, a child who wants to get his father to pay more attention to her.
For several days, Lixiu took advantage of the time when Baili Sheng went up and down during the day to shout. After repeatedly eating closed-door soup, she finally became angry.
Today, she brought a group of internal affairs, brought these large barrels of oil, and two baskets of large and small stones wrapped in cloth, and came to the gate of Chu Qingruo's courtyard.
"Light the fire, throw it in for me, I can't see she can get out." At the sound of an order, Lixiu stuck her waist and called at the gate of the courtyard with a lively spirit.
The insiders hesitated, and looked at the young guards who were still doing their duty to prevent her from entering the courtyard. Seeing this, the guards hurriedly sent someone to inform Baili Sheng.
"What are you still doing there, light a fire for me and throw it in."
Seeing that they didn't dare to do anything, Lixiu personally found a small stone wrapped in cloth in the basket, lit a fire, and threw it into Chu Qingruo's yard.
The insiders are still hesitating, "Throw it away, or I'll kill your head!" Threatened by her, the insiders had no choice but to follow her orders to light the stone on fire and throw it into the courtyard.
Chu Qingruo was painting in the house. Suddenly she smelled a scorching smell, and she couldn't help but wonder, and when she opened the door, she saw that the flint falling from the sky had already set most of her yard on fire.
Without thinking about what was going on, she quickly ran to the gate of the courtyard and prepared to open the door and escape.
Who knew that the gate had been poured oil on Lixiu outside the door, and after encountering the flint, a raging fire quickly ignited.
Soon, half of the small courtyard had been ignited by the fire, and Chu Qingruo had no choice but to retreat to the house, put a handkerchief in the basin to wet it, and covered his mouth and nose.
Bai Lisheng, who heard the news, saw the courtyard where Chu Qingruo was from a distance, billowing black smoke, and couldn't help but be horrified and furious in his heart: "Quick, save people first!" β
At the sound of an order, the internal affairs behind him rushed up quickly, some built ladders, some found a wooden stake and knocked on the door, and some commanded their subordinates to fetch water and put out the fire.
"His Royal Highness." The internal affairs who followed Yin Xiu to set the fire saw Baili Sheng striding meteor, and they walked with a blue face, all of them were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and called His Highness.
When Lixiu saw Bai Lisheng, she put on an innocent smile and pounced: "Your Royal Highness Father." β
"Smack!" A slap in the face shattered her face, breaking her smile.
He covered his face and stood in place stunned, looking at Baili Sheng in surprise.
"On weekdays, if you mess around, I'll let you do it, but today, you dare to ignore my orders, not only to make trouble here, but also to burn down the side courtyard? Who gave you such audacity? β
Bai Lisheng was almost furious, and a pair of peach blossom eyes shot bloodthirsty ferocity. "Pull these bastards out of here, and they'll all be killed!"
"Your Highness spare your life, we, we are also acting on the orders of the young lady, Your Highness, Your Highness spare your life!" There were cries of begging for mercy on the ground.
Bai Lisheng kicked away an internal affair who hugged him and cried and begged for mercy: "Drag it down!" β
"Miss, please, please, plead for us!" Seeing that begging Baili Sheng was to no avail, Neishi turned to Lixiu, hugged her legs and cried.
Bai Lixiu was indifferent, only covering her beaten face, and looked at Bai Lisheng hatefully.
Looking at the child in front of his eyes, Bai Lisheng's feelings for her were complicated.
After his mother's death, in order to escape from this sad place, he was full of resentment and asked his father for his life, and volunteered to go to the Great Yan Kingdom to do fine work, and he was gone for many years.
At that time, he had just opened his house and received a marriage.
Before leaving, he knew that several of the concubines in the house were pregnant. But now, when he came back, he found that only Ah Xiu survived the child Li who was pregnant with the concubines who were pregnant back then. It is also thanks to the protection of the pool steward that it has grown so big smoothly.
Looking at his only son, the feeling of being a father made him uncomfortable and excited.
It is said that the girl is the father's little padded jacket, and Bai Lisheng loves the daughter who has no mother since she was born and has been absent from her side for many years.
But today, this kid touched his scales, not only trying to hurt the person on the tip of his heart, but also setting fire to his important side courtyard.
You know, this side courtyard is full of poppies (poppies) that he has worked so hard to grow. Did she know how important these flowers were to him?
"Come on, send the young lady to the mercy nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing, no one is allowed to visit without my permission, let alone take her back!"
Bai Lisheng tried to restrain himself from pulling out a fan and waving it at her heart, this is his daughter, and the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children.
Hearing this, Lixiu showed an unbelievable look, Lixiu finally couldn't help crying, and shouted hysterically: "I'm just going to burn her, she's a vixen, she snatched you, I hate her, I hate her, I just want her to die!" You're mine! No one is allowed to snatch you away from me! β
"You!" Baili Sheng Qi Knot.
"Boom"
"Your Highness, the door slammed open, and the fire is too big to enter!"
Bai Lisheng glared at her angrily when he heard this, stretched out the wooden barrel in the hand of an internal officer, raised his hand to take off his outer robe, soaked it in the wooden barrel and draped it on his body, and rushed in quickly.
"Your Highness, Father, Father!" Jealous and surprised, Lixiu shouted desperately.
Why, why did you disregard your noble status to save that lowly foreign woman.
Baili Sheng didn't look back, and resolutely rushed into the courtyard: "Qingruo, Chu Qingruo!" β
Fortunately, the fire in the courtyard was not as big as near the courtyard gate, and there were not many fire sources in other places except for the billowing smoke, which was a little choking.
"Qingruo! Chu Qingruo! Bai Lisheng, who kicked open the door and covered his mouth and nose with his hand, soon found that Chu Qingruo had fainted in front of the desk.
Hurriedly covered her with the wet robe draped over her body, stretched out a finger and probed in front of her nose, fortunately, her breath was quite stable, and it seemed that she was just choked by the smoke.
picked her up, ran to the gate of the courtyard in one breath, and rushed out of the fire despite the raging fire burning his skin.
"His Royal Highness."
The crowd at the gate of the courtyard was overjoyed to see that their Royal Highness the Prince rushed out of the fire safe and sound, and hurriedly stepped forward to wet the fire on his body with water, and quickly helped the person he was holding to a safe place.
"Qingruo! Qingruo! β
Without caring about checking the injuries on his body, Bai Lisheng half-knelt beside Chu Qingruo, patted her face gently, and called anxiously.
"Ahem......"
She woke up slowly, opened her eyes and looked around, "cough cough cough ......" another violent cough.
"Quick, send her to my palace, and call for a healer!" After watching the internal affairs carefully send her away, Bai Lisheng quickly commanded the rest of the people to put out the fire with all their might.
Finally, half an hour later, the fire in the courtyard was successfully extinguished.
Fortunately, it was winter, except for a few improved poppies that were still blooming and burned, the rest had not yet budded, and the loss was not large.
Baili Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it didn't hurt the roots of these flowers, as long as the scorched earth was replaced, it would still bloom in spring.
These poppies are not really poppies, but poppies that look very similar to it.
Although this flower is bewitching and beautiful, it is a kind of evil thing that makes people lose their families once they are addicted. Once it is contaminated, few people will have a good ending, and the end will be extremely miserable.
In order to better grasp some important ministers in the court, Bai Lisheng painstakingly obtained these seeds from the distant Yunsang country, painstakingly planted them, and refined them into poisons that can make people unconsciously addicted.
The Qingfeng Chaolu Pill he gave to Mrs. Zhen before was made from the poison extracted from this flower, and the poison on his fan was also another poison that sealed his throat with blood refined from this flower.
Seeing Bai Lisheng so nervous about these flowers, she knew that in addition to Chu Qingruo, I am afraid that these flowers are also very important to her father, of course Lixiu would not be naΓ―ve to think that those flowers were just for viewing.
"Father, Ah Xiu knows that he is wrong, father should not send Ah Xiu to the nunnery, okay?"
Knowing that she had really caused a big disaster, and that she had really annoyed her father, she put on a face of knowing her mistakes, stood pitifully by the flower bed, and sobbed and said to Bai Lisheng, who was checking these flowers in the flower bed.
Bai Lisheng tightened his face and said nothing.
He always knew that this child was sticky to him, and he also liked his daughter's soft and cute. But today he suddenly had a man's intuition that this child was so clingy to him that it seemed to be as simple as a child clinging to his father.
He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, but I hope he thought too much.
"Someone!" He didn't look at her, stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and called his personal affairs in a loud voice: "Park Young, why don't you send Miss away?" β
"Father...... Ah Xiu knows that he is wrong, please, don't send Ah Xiu away! Yin Xiu was really panicked now.
