Chapter 16: Night Detective White Prime Minister
Bai Xiyue sat in the sedan chair and sorted out her thoughts, it seemed that Zuo Yu'er wanted her to make a fool of herself at the lotus appreciation party, recalling the scene when Zuo Yu'er was rescued.
No matter how hard she struggled in the water, her clothes would not be messy like that, and it seemed that the servants had been bribed to tear the clothes of the woman who fell into the water and rescue her.
Although the folk customs of Tianyuan Kingdom are open, and the requirements for men and women are not so harsh, but being seen by a strange man in such a disheveled manner also damages the reputation, and if she is used by someone with a heart, this woman may not be able to get married.
However, how could the second prince appear at the lotus appreciation party, he saw Zuo Yu'er falling into the water, his eyes were still indifferent, he didn't think it was planned in advance, and his performance today made Bai Xiyue feel that things were getting more and more complicated.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Xiyue couldn't rest assured that Prime Minister Bai was gone, she changed into black clothes and went out under the cover of Bai Tao and White Frost.
After she went out, she went to the horse shop with her hat, and in order not to reveal her identity, she couldn't ride the horse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she could only rent one outside.
The place where Prime Minister Bai inspected was Cangwu City next to Yuancheng, now hurry up and rush over, almost before dark, listening to Zuo Yu'er's tone, I don't know when those people will do it, I hope that the people of Tianji Pavilion will not be too wasteful.
Yuancheng is the capital of Tianyuan Kingdom, in ordinary days, there is no need to check when you go out of the city, only when you enter the city, unfortunately there has been a theft recently, the city gate has strengthened the inspection, and you must check your identity before you can go out.
Can't use the sign of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so how can I get out, just when Bai Xiyue was worried, she suddenly saw Dark One coming out of Tianxiang Residence.
"Dark One, why are you here?" Bai Xiyue removed the hat and put on the veil before saying hello to the dark one, she didn't change her face today, and she didn't know if he would recognize it if she only leaked her eyes.
"Are you, Physician Bai?" Dark looked at the woman dressed in black, and was stunned for two seconds before asking in disbelief.
"It's me." Bai Xiyue saw that he recognized herself, and her voice relaxed.
"Where are you going?"
Dark One saw that Bai Xiyue was wearing light-colored clothes on weekdays, she suddenly changed her clothes, and the person was different, if it weren't for those familiar eyes, he wouldn't dare to recognize it at all.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry to get out of the city, but I didn't have a sign, do you have a sign to borrow it from me."
Bai Xiyue's tone was very sincere, and her expression seemed very anxious, but she looked like she had something urgent to do.
"Okay! Here you go. Secretly confirmed that she was Doctor Bai, and handed her the sign without even thinking about it.
"Then thank you, I'll give it back to you next time I go to the Regent's Palace, I'll leave first today."
After Bai Xiyue thanked him, she left, she waited in a dark place for a while, and when she saw that the darkness was gone, she took the horse out, and walked in the direction of the city gate.
Holding the sign of the Regent's Palace, the guards guarding the door didn't dare to check at all, so they let her leave, and Bai Xiyue left Yuancheng smoothly.
According to Bai Ze's guidance, she rode a horse to Cangwu City, becoming more and more desolate along the way, until sunset and dusk, she did not reach the city gate, Bai Xiyue did not know where Prime Minister Bai had inspected, so she could only go to the city first.
After entering the city, she went to a more lively restaurant, there were many people eating, Bai Xiyue found a remote corner to sit down, ordered something, and observed the people around her.
"Hey, have you ever heard of the new governor?" Suddenly, a man at the table said.
As soon as Bai Xiyue heard the governor, she looked at them and pricked up her ears to listen.
"I've heard, isn't that Lord Bai still a prime minister?" Another man replied.
"Yes, it's Lord Bai, he, but a good official, my boss owed me a lot of money before and just didn't give it to me, a few days ago I heard that Lord Governor came, so I wanted to try to let him call the shots for me, but I didn't expect the money to come back, I used to think that Lord Bai was also one of those bad officials, I'm really ashamed."
The man drank a few glasses of wine as he spoke, and the guilt on his face didn't look like he was pretending.
Bai Xiyue wanted to listen to them again, but she was worried that if she was late, Prime Minister Bai Cheng would have an accident, so she thought for a moment and walked towards the two of them.
"Two little brothers, I don't know where Lord Bai you just talked about is now."
When the two saw her dressed like this, they were worried that she was not a good person, and they refused to answer.
Bai Xiyue also knew this in her heart, she took off the hat, only wore a veil, and said pitifully: "The two eldest brothers have pity on me, my sister was snatched away by a bully, I was disfigured because of my face, she let me go, I just heard you talking about the governor, saying that he is a good person, I want to ask him for help, please you."
"Hey, girl, don't cry, this Lord Bai went to visit outside the city today, in the small village in the east, it's too late today, it is estimated that he will not come back, you wait at the city gate early tomorrow, you will definitely be able to meet him."
"Yes, yes! Lord Bai is a good person, he will definitely help you. The other chimed in,
It was not easy for the two of them to see such a weak woman, and they didn't look like they were pretending, so they told her, and comforted her by the way.
"Thank you, big brothers." Bai Xiyue wiped away her tears and thanked them sincerely.
"Master, you are really good at acting." Bai Ze praised her performance just now.
"Let's go!"
After leaving the restaurant, Bai Xiyue's face changed, she didn't have the pitiful delicate appearance just now, the remote people on the outskirts of the city were messy, if Zuo Yu'er wanted to do it, it would be a better place, and she couldn't wait until tomorrow.
She rode out of the city again, heading to the east, and it didn't take long for Bai Xiyue to see the small village, it was already dark, the people in the village were asleep, and there was only a few lights around, she tied the horse to a tree, and asked Bai Ze to remember the location, and entered the village.
The sky was relatively dark, and Bai Xiyue was wearing black clothes, but no one found her.
"Master, how can we find Prime Minister Bai when it's so dark." Bai Ze leaned on Bai Xiyue's shoulder and whispered.
"If you look for it one by one, you will always find it."
The village is very small, and there are not many people, when I found the third room, I saw Prime Minister Bai, the house was still bright, Bai Zheng was writing something, Bai Xiyue did not disturb him, found a hidden corner near the house and hid, and asked Bai Ze to observe the movement in the house at all times.
When the people of Tianji Pavilion saw someone approaching, they all became vigilant, and the hidden weapons in their hands were ready, but the person did not act, but hid, and for a while they all looked at each other, staring at Bai Xiyue and not daring to relax a little.
After a while, Prime Minister Bai turned off the lights, and there was no other light around him except for the moonlight.
Two hours later, the moon gradually disappeared into the clouds, it was already the second half of the night, and there was still no movement, Bai Xiyue had to wonder if Zuo Yu'er was lying, or if they were going to act on the way back to Yuancheng.
"The master seems to have someone coming."
Just when Bai Xiyue was thinking about it, Bai Ze saw a figure approaching the house, and the people of Tianji Pavilion naturally saw it, those people were all holding knives in their hands, and they didn't seem to be idle people, and they were all concentrated.
I saw that the black-clothed people quietly opened the door, Bai Xiyue couldn't bear it, and was about to rush out, when a hidden weapon flew over, and instantly entered the neck of one of the black-clothed people, and the man fell down like this, without making a sound.
Bai Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and then hid back where she was, and the rest of the black-clothed people became cautious when they saw that a companion had died, and after observing for a while, one of them picked up the bow and arrow on his back and shot it at a tree.
The people of Tianji Pavilion jumped down from the tree, and the two groups fought like this, there was no superfluous nonsense, only to complete their respective tasks.
Bai Xiyue didn't make a move, she watched quietly from the side, she wanted to know if the people of Tianji Pavilion had the ability to protect Bai Chengxiang, if so, she didn't have to worry about Zuo Yu'er and her father would use tricks behind her back.
The two waves of people were wearing black clothes, the only difference was that the people in Tianji Pavilion wore masks, while the people in black covered their faces with black cloth, the sky was very dark, Bai Xiyue was a little indistinguishable, so Bai Ze could only keep an eye on those who covered their faces with black cloth.
The battle didn't last long before it was over, and the smell of blood was still in the air.
"Master, the people who are masked in the black cloth are dead." Bai Ze replied responsibly.
After those masked people finished dealing with the black-clothed people, only two people were left to deal with the corpses, and the others went back to the tree to hide, Bai Xiyue looked at the palms of her hands, and there was no flash, indicating that these people were not injured, so it seems that the people of Tianji Pavilion are still very powerful, and now she is relieved.
Bai Xiyue didn't stay there for long, so she left, and the people of Tianji Pavilion didn't stop her when they saw her go, as long as she didn't threaten Bai Zheng's life, they wouldn't do it, this was the rule of Tianji Pavilion, unless it could be proved that they were in a group.
When Bai Xiyue rode to Yuancheng, it was already dawn, and after she returned the horse, she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to catch up on sleep.
After Zuo Yu'er woke up, she smashed everything in the house, she carefully planned the lotus appreciation party, and asked her father to lead the second prince over, just to ruin Bai Xiyue's reputation, and when the time comes, whether she wants to marry the regent or not.
However, now that he has made a fool of himself, this slut must have deliberately pushed himself into the water, and Zuo Yuer can't wait to eat Bai Xiyue now.
In the next few days, the second prince delivered posts to Bai Fu every day, but Bai Xiyue rejected them because he was unwell.
"Miss, why don't you go! The second prince has a noble status, treats people gently, and has no arrogance at all, which is a rare good match. Bai Tao counted the benefits of the second prince on the side.
"Don't be deceived by appearances!" Bai Xiyue knocked on Bai Tao's head.
This second prince is definitely not so simple, but women eat this set, there are a bunch of people in Yuancheng who love Gu Jiuxiao, just look at the white peach who is a nymphomaniac around him.
Bai Xiyue shook her head, it is better to stay away from this second prince, the more perfect he is, the more troubles he will have.
In the second prince's mansion, Yusheng stood aside and was silent, he had never seen anyone refuse the second prince repeatedly, and today Bai Xiyue broke the precedent.
"Rejected again! In that case, don't blame me for being too heavy. Gu Jiuxiao looked at the returned post and said gloomily.
