Chapter 35: The White Lotus One Step

Gu Jiuxiao left after sending her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Xiyue's face changed in an instant, she approached the second prince because of Gu Yichen's request, but now she is also enjoying it, she has not forgotten Gu Jiuxiao's use last time, and taking some medicine can only be regarded as a small punishment, now that she has a chance, why not make him more miserable.

"Miss, you're back, Madame almost found out." Baishuang had been looking anxiously at the door, and when she saw her come back, her hanging heart was put down.

On the second day, Bai Xiyue went out early, today the second prince is going to check the drainage system in the west of Yuancheng, Yuancheng has a special terrain, there are often droughts and floods, and it has gradually improved after the regent's governance, but the emperor still attaches great importance to this aspect of the situation, so as not to have another big riot that year.

Her purpose today is to appear around Gu Jiuxiao without intention, attracting his attention, curiosity is the first step in the beginning of all relationships.

The west of Yuancheng is a not very prosperous place, coupled with the terrain location, there are officers and soldiers guarding it all the year round, and the surrounding people do not dare to move frequently, yesterday Bai Xiyue has already acted as a weak image, and today she wants to give Gu Jiuxiao a different feeling.

The weather in September is not too hot, the emperor has always cultivated the second prince as a prince, and many small things have been solved by him, and Gu Jiuxiao himself is also very motivated, everything has become very beautiful, today he took a carriage to the west as before, because of the reason for choosing the princess, he has not had any assignments recently.

"Second prince, second prince," Yusheng called Gu Jiuxiao several times in succession, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't react.

"Second prince, it's time to go." Yusheng raised her voice again.

"Then send it out." Gu Jiuxiao only then reacted from his contemplation, he had a dream yesterday, and what he dreamed of was Bai Xiyue looking at him with reddish eyes, her eyes were as pure as a deer in the forest, this appearance was already very exciting, I don't know how amazing her face under the veil was, and she was about to reach out to take a look, but she dissipated like a puff of smoke.

Gu Jiuxiao is not a person who is greedy for beauty, but who would refuse something beautiful, yesterday's Bai Xiyue's appearance was imprinted in his heart like a brand.

After arriving in the west, the local officials stationed in the city were ready to welcome the arrival of the second prince early, and specially prepared a banquet, he guarded such an important post, and naturally got a lot of benefits, if he could be favored by the second prince this time, he would not be afraid of no silver to spend in the future.

His dream is very good, but Gu Jiuxiao's investigation is not just an ordinary formality, but a very serious inspection, and then carefully analyze the pros and cons, and hand it to the emperor for inspection after sorting it out, which is why he has always been able to get the emperor's trust.

At first, he just simply turned around, and found a lot of problems, there are many drainage channels are blocked, and some important posts are not even handled, there are children of nearby people playing in the danger zone, the problems that appeared during the last inspection, none of them have been solved, if there is a flood at this time, half of the Yuan City will be flooded.

Gu Jiuxiao ruthlessly dismissed the officials who guarded the channels, and personally took charge of dealing with the accumulation of amateurs, and solved the phenomenon of some channels not circulating, which can be regarded as conscientious.

Bai Xiyue has been quietly following Gu Jiuxiao, wanting to attract his attention quietly, and not being suspicious, he needs to observe his behavior and behavior criteria, and prescribe the right medicine to hit him with one hit.

At least from the current situation, it can be seen that Gu Jiuxiao is still very serious when he is in office, but how to appear here, which makes Bai Xiyue a little embarrassed, although this side belongs to the scope of Yuancheng, but it is very remote, if there is nothing serious, a boudoir lady really should not appear here.

Just when she was worried, she suddenly saw the shop striking iron on the side, and after thinking about it, there was a reason for this, but I don't know if Gu Jiuxiao would believe it.

Bai Xiyue began to pretend to ask people everywhere, and deliberately approached the yafu while asking, almost noon, finally, Gu Jiuxiao came out of the yafu, he processed the documents for a morning, and only then did he preliminarily solve the problem of the water channel here, and when he went back, he had to choose the right person to take over here, otherwise, he would have worked hard in vain today.

"Excuse me, do you know that there is a famous swordsmith here?"

"I don't know, in our desolate place, where there will be sword-casters, only in front of us there is an iron-striking man."

"Well, thank you for this big brother."

This familiar voice quickly attracted Gu Jiuxiao's attention, and he looked up, it was really a familiar person.

"Miss Bai." There was a hint of joy in his voice that he didn't even perceive.

Bai Xiyue turned her head in surprise, and was even more shy and uneasy after discovering the second prince, and she was a little hesitant on her face, her appearance completely fell in Gu Jiuxiao's eyes.

He walked over quickly and asked with concern, "Miss Bai, why are you here alone, this place is not a good place to live and work in peace."

"I,,I," Bai Xiyue lowered her head embarrassedly, a little ashamed to say what she was here for.

"If you need my help, just ask, I came to inspect today on the orders of my father, and now I'm done, but I can help you." Gu Jiuxiao saw her unnaturalness and nervousness, and involuntarily said that she wanted to help her, she should not stay in such a filthy place with such an unearthly temperament.

"After yesterday's incident, I thought that it would be safer if I could bring something to defend myself, but I didn't know much about weapons or anything, so I went to consult Miss Wang." Bai Xiyue said softly, her eyes still drifting to Gu Jiuxiao from time to time, all showing her weak side.

"Miss Wang, you're going to find Ziying." At the mention of Wang Ziying, Gu Jiuxiao's tone softened.

Bai Xiyue naturally discovered this change in him, it seems that Gu Jiuxiao, who is rumored to be like a god in the sky, is not so ignorant of fireworks in the world, doesn't he still have feelings for Wang Ziying.

Since there are feelings, it will be a little troublesome, I'm afraid that some means will be wasted, and it just so happens that she also wants to see this Wang Ziying's ability to prepare for getting along in the future.

"Yes, I thought that Sister Ziying was well-informed, and she would definitely know where there was someone I was looking for, but she really knew, she told me that the person lived in the western suburbs of Yuancheng, and that person was the best at forging small weapons for women to defend themselves, so I came here to find someone." Bai Xiyue thought about it and said something important, as if she had really talked to Wang Ziying, although there were some loopholes, it was not easy.

After listening to her words, Gu Jiuxiao frowned, he had been here several times, and he had never heard of any sword-forging masters, and people who also specialized in creating self-defense weapons for women, but what she said was so true, Gu Jiuxiao was sure that his memory would not be wrong, if so, then why did Ying'er tell Bai Xiyue like that, obviously the two of them had no interest disputes before.

Wait, Gu Jiuxiao suddenly thought of the previous use of Bai Xiyue, everyone in Yuancheng knew about it, it didn't make sense that Ying'er didn't know, could it be because of this, she told Bai Xiyue the wrong information because of love and hatred, and let her come to this desolate place.

Thinking of this, his face sank a little, he didn't want to believe that the well-behaved and lovely Ying'er would do such a vicious thing, but Bai Xiyue's appearance was sincere,,,,

"Second prince, I don't know if you've ever seen such a sword-forging master, you know better than me here, I don't know if there is such a person."

Bai Xiyue saw that his expression was already a little loose, and began to introduce in the preset direction, she hadn't thought about letting him give up marrying Wang Ziying for the time being, but as long as the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, then the next thing would be much easier.

"I think Ying'er is mistaken, there is no swordsmith here as you said, but I know where he is, and I can help Miss Bai make a competent self-defense weapon."

Gu Jiuxiao immediately said, even if he had some doubts about Wang Ziying's character. It will not ruin her reputation, his marriage with the Wang family is a sure thing, one is prosperous, one is lost, unless it is confirmed, he will not take risks.

"Then thank you to the second prince, I don't know if this will affect your inspection, if it's too troublesome, I can't help it."

Bai Xiyue lowered her head as she spoke, and her obedient appearance made people want to touch the top of her head and comfort and comfort this poor villain.

Looking at her obedient and a little scared, Gu Jiuxiao suddenly remembered that she felt a little lonely and arrogant at the Lantern Festival a few days ago, she was not like this at that time, what changed her, could it be that ,,, he suddenly remembered the previous gossip, he was a person who was used at will, but he appeared in front of him again, or appeared as a thanksgiving, this feeling is a little strange.

"It's not a hassle. When I find it, I'll let you know, and I'll send someone to take you back now." ”

Gu Jiuxiao quickly sent someone to see her off, he was very curious about how Bai Xiyue became the obedient person she is now, and he became interested in learning about her past.

After Bai Xiyue left, she poured out the powder in her purse while people were not paying attention, she is not RMB, she can make everyone like it, but sometimes the right atmosphere, the right time, the right words, plus a little powder, can reach the point where people will never forget, this method has no effect on strong-willed people.

So she quietly sniffed Gu Jiuxiao yesterday with a relaxing medicine, and when she saw him today, she really didn't speak as stiffly as she did yesterday, but she didn't know how much he loved Wang Ziying, I hope there weren't so much. Otherwise, it's troublesome.

Dark One told Gu Yichen everything Bai Xiyue did at the same time, her method was very attractive, but she didn't know if Gu Jiuxiao would be fooled.
