Yesterday, the palace sent the dowry to the Bai family, and half of the people in the capital watched the excitement, and at the same time, the rumors about this marriage were also out of control like a prairie fire, and they spread all over the capital almost overnight.

After breakfast in the morning, Qi led Bai Yanran out to buy clothes and jewelry. Qi felt sorry for his daughter, and he was going to marry the palace, so he naturally refused to let his daughter fall behind in dressing, so he led his daughter to the best Huarong Pavilion in the capital to prepare for cutting a few clothes.

The proprietress of Huarong Pavilion is not yet the age of a half-aged, and she is born with a beautiful appearance, but she is dressed very plainly. It is said that it is a scraping woman who died not long after marrying, and after being kicked out by her in-laws, she set up her own door and opened a small shop, but it is getting bigger and bigger and has become the best tailor shop in the capital today, and she is also a strange woman.

When the proprietress saw Qi and Bai Yanran, she smiled knowingly, and said softly: "Presumably, Mrs. Bai led Miss Bai to cut new clothes, since it is a happy event, then the concubine will personally tailor it for Miss Bai, and it is also so joyful." ”

This proprietress can make the tailor shop naturally have a good hand of needlework, but this needlework is painstaking and eye-wrenching, since the shop has become bigger, she only has to design new patterns, and the specific tailoring work is done by the embroidery girl at the bottom, and today it is enough to give face.

Qi's face was naturally happy, Bai Yanran also smiled and thanked him, and the two went to the inner room with the proprietress to measure themselves.

The people who can come to Huarong Pavilion to tailor are all well-known people in the capital, and a few ladies and ladies outside were casually strolling around to see the new clothes and patterns, but since Qi and Bai Yanran came in, they all looked at the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, and as soon as they entered, they began to exchange heads and ears.

At the same time, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qi Mansion, and the ancient mother on the carriage looked at the gate of Qi Mansion with a little start, but when she thought of the heavy silver, she had to grit her teeth and get out of the carriage. She stepped forward to call the door and asked the porter to call Qi Simin out, saying that Miss Bai had something important to look for.

The porter naturally knew that Bai Yanran was friendly with his own young lady, so he didn't dare to delay going in to report it. After a while, Qi Simin came out, and she was still muttering how Bai Yanran came to look for her today, and why she didn't come in front of the door.

When I arrived at the door, I saw an old woman come up, so she took her hand and cried: "Miss, save my young lady, she is in the Moon Tower at the moment, and she is thinking about throwing herself into the lake, so you can follow me to persuade her." ”

Qi Simin was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't believe it. She looked at the old woman in front of her suspiciously, and asked, "I've never seen you before, how do I know if what you said is true or false?" ”

Gu's mother took out a delicate gilt hairpin from her sleeve and said to Qi Simin: "This is the hairpin that my young lady often wears, and my young lady must know it." ”

Qi Simin saw that the hairpin was indeed a little familiar, and it seemed that she had indeed seen Bai Yanran wear it, but she didn't know that it was "given" to Bai Yueyu by Bai Yanran in the past, and it had already changed hands.

Qi Simin believed her identity a little, but she was still suspicious: "But when I went to see Yanran two days ago, she was still fine, why couldn't she suddenly think about it?" ”

Gu's mother secretly scolded Qi Simin in her heart, but she looked like she wanted to cry on her face, and said in her mouth: "Today, my wife took Miss to buy clothes and jewelry, and she went in to rest when she passed by Moon Tower. ”

Qi Simin was skeptical when she heard this, and asked, "What gossip, why don't I know?" ”

Gu's mother scolded: "It's not those who say that Miss is a combination of eight characters and King An into the eyes of the queen's mother, so that she can be married by the emperor, and also say that my young lady is Princess Chongxi." Madame couldn't persuade her, and remembered that Miss Qi and my Miss were the best friends, so she asked the old slave to pick up Miss to persuade my Miss. ”

Qi Simin then remembered that he had just seen his mother's good life reprimand the people in the house who were broken-mouthed, and it seemed that he also mentioned some "eight characters" and "chongxi", but what he didn't want to say was Yan'er. Her heart tightened, not only because she was angry at these words of right and wrong, but also because she was afraid that her cousin Yan Yanran would really be embarrassed and couldn't think about it for a while, so she hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly, don't really have anything wrong!" ”

After that, he turned his head to the porter and said, "You tell your mother, I'll go see Cousin Yanran, and I'll come back soon so that she doesn't have to worry." ”

After that, Qi Simin pulled Gu's mother to the carriage, and the coachman lowered his head very low, and when the two got into the car, he didn't wait to say before urging the horse to set off. The carriage was speeding down the street, Bai Yueyu was so anxious that she didn't notice the strange expression of Gu's mother on the side, and she was worried about Bai Yanran.

The carriage finally arrived at the Moon Tower, although the Moon Tower was built on the bustling street where people come and go, but the back is adjacent to the canal in the city, the hall is a place to eat, the boxes on the second and third floors are all the rooms that can enjoy the scenery by the window, it is a good place for rich and idle people to play.

When the carriage stopped, Qi Simin went straight to the lobby, pulled the second child at the door and asked, "Where are the ladies and ladies of the Bai family in the box?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned, Gu's mother caught up with him to give him a look, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's the first room on the left hand of the third floor, and the little one will show you the way." ”

Xiao Er led Qi Simin upstairs, Gu's mother looked left and right as a thief and followed, and the groom stood at the door without saying a word and watched a few people go upstairs, so he was relieved to turn around and stay in the carriage. At the same time, a man sitting in the corner of the lobby got up and hurried out of the lobby with the broken silver down.

Qi Simin was led up to the third floor, not noticing that there was some unusual silence on the third floor of the Moon Tower today. Xiao Er watched her enter the door and gave Gu's mother a look, Gu's mother followed in and closed the door, and Xiao Er didn't go to do anything and stayed at the door, nervously looking at the guests downstairs.

As soon as Qi Simin entered the door, she didn't see the imaginary mess, but she was startled when she saw the window of the wing room wide open, and then she heard a woman's sobbing. She hurriedly turned the gauze tent and looked at the couch in the inner room, and sure enough, she saw a woman of similar shape hiding her face and weeping.

Qi Simin breathed a sigh of relief, although she was suspicious of where her aunt and the other maids had gone, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Yanran, you scared me to death......"

As she spoke, she had already walked up to the woman, only then did she feel a strangeness, and suddenly a hand holding a handkerchief from behind her covered her mouth and nose. Qi Simin smelled a strange fragrance, and before he could struggle, he only felt his body go limp.

When she was confused, the woman on the couch stopped crying and raised her head, but it was not the face she thought it was. Qi Simin reacted in his brain that he had been deceived, and Cousin Yanran was not in Moon Tower at all.

However, it was too late, and the next moment she was completely unconscious.

Bai Yueyu looked at Qi Simin who fainted on the ground, with a look of jealousy, and she tried her best to enter the Jianwang Mansion as a nameless little concubine. This Miss Qi family gave birth to a good family, so that King Jian could find a way to marry back, this person is really not the same fate.

Thinking that today's king is successful, this woman will be his own mother in the future. Not only did Bai Yanran suppress herself in terms of identity, but even her best friend became her own housewife, and Bai Yueyu's heart was full of resentment.

She got up and looked at Qi Simin coldly, and said to Gu's mother, "Put people on the bed, we should go." ”

Seeing that Bai Yueyu had no intention of helping at all, Gu's mother muttered to herself, so she had to drag the person to bed with all her might. Seeing this, Bai Yueyu turned around and opened the incense burner on the table, and lit the incense that had already been prepared inside.

The strong fragrance instantly rushed out from the hollow space of the incense burner, and Bai Yueyu felt nauseous for some reason, and couldn't help retching twice. She just thought that the fragrance was too powerful, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and led Gu's mother away.

The two of them went out of the wing, and the little two were still guarding the door. Bai Yueyu knew that he was Ji Sihong's person, so she glanced at him and didn't say much, led Gu's mother to turn around and went downstairs, went out of the hall and went straight to the carriage where Qi Simin came.

The coachman drove Bai Yueyu to Ji Sihong's house in a carriage, and Ji Sihong greeted Bai Yueyu as soon as he saw him come in and asked, "How is it?" ”

Bai Yueyu smiled coquettishly: "Isn't the prince worried about the concubine?" Don't worry, the young lady of the Qi family is resting in the Moon Tower at this time, there is someone guarding the door, and the incense is still lit in the room, and it is the right time for the prince to go over at this time. ”

Ji Sihong had a smile on his face, pinched Bai Yueyu's chin and said, "Okay, good, Yu'er is really capable." You stay here for a few days, and then I'll have someone take you into the house and take care of you. ”

With that, he got dressed and couldn't wait to go out. Bai Yueyu's smile twisted behind him, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Ji Sihong just went out and was about to get into the carriage, but when he saw his henchman Liu Zong hurrying over, he hurriedly said as soon as he saw him: "Lord, it's not good, Zhang Xianli took the initiative to go to Dali Temple to surrender, and now he has been imprisoned by Dali Temple!" ”

The smile on Ji Sihong's face disappeared suddenly, and his eyes were gloomy.

"You see clearly, is it really Zhang Xianli?"

Liu Zong nodded and said: "He went to Dali Temple in broad daylight and surrendered, and many people saw it with their own eyes, and the news that our people came back was indeed Zhang Xianli." ”

Seeing Ji Sihong's hesitation, Liu Zong hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, we have to hurry back to discuss countermeasures, if Zhang Xianli really confides in something, it will be ......"

He didn't dare to say what happened next, but Ji Sihong knew it. His heart sank, thinking that Qi Simin was already in his hands, and it was impossible to disappear out of thin air, so he was not in a hurry for a while, but now Zhang Xianli's matter was more urgent, so he asked the coachman to turn his horse's head and go to Jianwangfu.

The little second who guarded the door of the Moon Tower waited for half an hour and didn't see the master coming, and he vaguely heard some movement inside and didn't dare to go in to see.

He was anxious in his heart, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps walking up unhurriedly, and he was overjoyed, but when he saw the person who went upstairs, his face turned pale in an instant.
