Chapter 296: Seeking the Skin of the Tiger
Xiao Jing's expression suddenly became fierce when he spoke, and his tone was also full of warning.
Even though the momentum that suddenly burst out of Xiao Jing's body was a little terrifying, Bai Chongming still met Xiao Jing's gaze unhurriedly, and said word by word: "I will, if I can't live with Mu'er in this life, I don't have to be stubborn, I will end my life by myself, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect Mu'er and never let others harm her." ”
"I hope you walk the talk." When Xiao Jing's afterglow swept to the petite figure hiding at the door and secretly opening the crack in the door to eavesdrop, he waved helplessly: "Go and accompany Mu'er." ”
Bai Chongming nodded, and left stiffly under the gaze of Xiao Jing like a thorn in his back.
I have to say that Bai Chongming's firm answer still made Xiao Jing feel a lot of relief, and early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Jing left a few words for Xiao Mu, and then turned around and rode away.
And Jing Shangting and Fang Ru also said goodbye to Bai Weiying and others on the day Xiao Jing left, preparing to do their original business.
Two days later, Bai Weiying and his party of four returned to the capital, and their whereabouts were not deliberately concealed, so from the moment Bai Weiying entered the city, the person hiding in the dark to inquire about the news reported the situation back, and the forces of all parties were ready to move again.
"Didn't you say that she was more than lucky? Why do people come back safe and sound now! What is this princess going to do with you! Qianhui smashed the vase into the kneeling man, but he still felt angry, "You waste, it's really a pity to die!" ”
Even though the spies who came to report were smashed to the ground, they could only reply cautiously: "Princess is angry, that Bai Weiying is protected by many masters, and we really can't get close to her." ”
Seeing that Qianhui seemed to be thoughtful, the spy hurriedly added fuel and continued: "That group of people is secretive, as if someone secretly sent them, and Bai Weiying doesn't seem to be aware that the group of people is protecting them......"
The spies don't know if someone is really protecting Bai Weiying in secret, but they are derelict in their duties, if they let Qianhui know that they are not doing things well and are slacking off, I am afraid that the end will not be much better.
It's better to completely shift Qianhui's gaze elsewhere, anyway, in this capital, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even if Qianhui has the heart to find out who did it, it will only be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just as the spy thought, Qianhui's attention was indeed attracted by the mysterious people he mentioned in his words, and the object of her suspicion was none other than Si Yuanqiong.
From Si Yuanqiong's point of view, it is entirely possible for him to do such a thing, after all, he is interested in Bai Weiying, and he must not be willing to let her go wrong.
As for why this should be secretly protected, it is kept secret, perhaps it is......
A thought quickly flashed through Qianhui's mind, and her face became more calm, if it was really as she thought, then her alliance with Si Yuanqiong could continue.
Qianhui's move is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, but now, she is also desperate, if she lets Bai Weiying leave it alone, I am afraid that everything she has finally sought will be wiped out in an instant.
Qianhui took the pen to write a letter, and then handed the letter to the entourage she brought from the northern Xinjiang, "Guan Xiang, you quietly go to the Huai'an Palace, hand over this letter to Liu Xiang, remember to keep a low profile in your actions, and don't arouse the suspicion of people with intentions." ”
Wan Xiang nodded, put the letter on her sleeve, and turned to leave.
In Huai'an Palace, when Si Yuanqiong heard the reply from the next person that a strange woman asked to see Liu Xiang, she said with great interest: "Liu Xiang, who do you say this will be the person who sent this?" ”
Liu Xiang replied with a smile: "My subordinates guess it should be someone from Princess Qianhui's side." ”
"Oh? Why? Si Yuanqiong continued to bow her head and paint, each stroke looking extremely serious.
"The one in the palace is of little use anymore." Because she was facing Si Yuanqiong, Liu Xiang didn't have so many taboos when she spoke, "And according to the report of the secret stake we planted in the palace, Concubine Yan has always been crazy in recent days, and occasionally talks nonsense, presumably someone has moved her hands and feet inside, intent on dealing with her." ”
Si Yuanqiong let out a "hmm" and motioned for Liu Xiang to continue.
Liu Xiang pretended to raise his head inadvertently, quickly glanced at the person on the portrait, and lowered his head quickly, "In contrast, Princess Qianhui must have been panicked after learning that the white girl might get the antidote back, but in this capital, the only person she can rely on is you......"
Si Yuanqiong finished the last stroke, admired her painting, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, but it has drawn her five points of charm, Liu Xiang, frame this painting and hang it in the king's study." ”
"Yes......" Liu Xiang bent down and carefully took the portrait, only to hear Si Yuanqiong say: "Your analysis is very correct, the person who came this time is indeed a thousand times, but ah, her previous actions made this king very dissatisfied, this king wants to see what she can do for Si Huazhen." ”
Liu Xiang secretly gasped, "What do you mean......"
"Hang her first, and then let her in after three days." After Si Yuanqiong finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the study.
Guan Xiang waited for several hours, but no one came out, and in desperation, she could only go back to Jingping Wangfu first.
"What's the matter, the letter can be handed over to Liu Xiang? Has the King of Huai'an ever summoned you? What was said? Qianhui was anxiously waiting for news, and when he saw Guan Xiang appear, he threw a series of questions at Guan Xiang.
"This ......" Guan Xiang stopped talking, took out the letter from his sleeve tremblingly, and said stubbornly: "Liu Xiang didn't see the slave maid...... I didn't see the prince either......"
"What!" Qianhui's figure trembled suddenly, didn't even Si Yuanqiong want to help her? Is she going to let Bai Weiying take Si Huazhen away from her?
Qianhui forced herself to calm down, she gritted her teeth, and tried to calm down: "You go again tomorrow, if he doesn't see you tomorrow, then you will go again the day after tomorrow, until he sees you!" Do you understand? ”
In the end, it was already full of unwillingness and paranoia.
Guan Xiangnuo replied: "The slave knows ......"
In the next two days, Guan Xiang went to Huai'an Wangfu every day, but without exception was turned away, and when he went back on the third day, Liu Xiang finally let Guan Xiang enter the house.
