Chapter 57: Drink tea and watch the show
Not long after the fireworks ended, the emperor ended the banquet on the grounds that the five princes had just come to the palace and were not very adaptable, and did not mention the protagonist of the regent at all from beginning to end, as if today was a banquet specially held for the five princes.
Before leaving, Zuo Yu'er stopped Bai Xiyue, she said indignantly: "Bai Xiyue, don't think that marrying the regent will make your identity so noble, my father is the most powerful prime minister in the court, and the person I marry will definitely be better than you, at least not a cripple in a wheelchair." β
Bai Xiyue didn't take her words to heart, but when she heard her say that Gu Yichen was crippled, she immediately stepped forward, pressed her neck, and said sharply: "Zuo Yu'er, if you can't learn to speak, it's best to shut up, otherwise, I will make you unable to open your mouth again." β
Her gaze was very sharp, so frightened that Zuo Yu'er forgot to resist, she hadn't reacted yet, Bai Xiyue was just a sick seedling, how could she say such a thing.
Bai Xiyue quickly let go of her, because she was taller than Zuo Yu'er, from a distance, just the two of them leaned in and talked, and no one around saw what she did, so she pushed Gu Yichen and left.
Zuo Yu'er reacted quickly, was she frightened by that sick seedling just now, how could it be, she just wanted to say a few more words, when she saw Gu Yichen looking at him, wearing that demon mask in the dark night, which made her tremble.
What did he say just now, this fright, she was completely sober, he just seemed to say that the regent was a waste, just angry in his heart, nothing was said in his brain, she left in fear.
"Why did you just hear her say that this king is a waste, you are so excited, you even said the words of murder."
Now that they are out of the stargazing platform, there are only two of them around, and Gu Yichen asked.
Only then did Bai Xiyue notice that her movements just now were not too neat, and she wouldn't doubt that she knew martial arts.
"Lord, didn't we say in the contract, I have to uphold the duties of the regent princess outside, Zuo Yu'er just insulted you so much, I, as your princess, of course have to stand up and speak for you."
She explained it seriously, for fear that he would have doubts.
Just hearing her answer, Gu Yichen stopped talking, and his tone became a little cold again, "Let's go." β
In this way, the two returned to the palace gate without saying a word, and they were already waiting.
helped the two of them get into the carriage and began to walk outside the palace.
Bai Xiyue walked for a day, her tired ankle was faintly painful, she reached out and rubbed it, it felt as if it was more swollen, and urged the doctor to check it systematically, and sure enough, it was inflamed, and she decided to go back and let Lin Zi'an get two more stitches.
There were just the two of them in the carriage, and although Bai Xiyue was sitting far away from him, he still saw her movements.
"Come here!" He said a little domineeringly.
Bai Xiyue was stunned for a moment, but still sat down obediently, "What's the matter, Lord Wang." β
He reached out and touched her feet, and just as he was about to put them on his lap, Bai Xiyue retracted, "Wang, Wangye, what are you going to do!" β
He stepped forward and grabbed her foot again, this time with some force, "If you want it to swell more, you have to struggle." The tone was full of threats.
Bai Xiyue also understood that he wanted to give himself medicine, but he still said with some reluctance: "Lord, it's better to wait until I return to the palace and let my master give me two injections, it's so fast." β
"Don't talk."
He had already taken off her shoes, and Bai Xiyue's feet were exposed in this way, and he could clearly see that the ankles were red and swollen, which contrasted with the snow-white skin around him, and looked like a stain on the white and flawless porcelain.
Gu Yichen frowned, took out a bottle of ointment from the dark compartment of the carriage, dug out a little with his fingertips, and gently applied it to her ankles.
"Did you use the ointment you gave you last time?" He asked, looking up at her.
"That, wasn't I busy detoxifying you at the time, so I ignored it, it's actually fine, it's almost better, but I've walked a little too much today."
Bai Xiyue was about to withdraw her foot as she spoke, but she was held by him again, in fact, she really felt that these were all minor injuries, she had suffered more serious injuries than this one when she went on a mission before, and in the end she still survived, and she was alive and well, except for the last time.
"Don't move." He dug out some more ointment and put it in the palm of his hand, then put it on the swollen area, and rubbed it down vigorously with internal force.
"Ahh The sudden pain made Bai Xiyue scream, but with only one sound, she shut up and endured it alive.
Gu Yichen didn't pity the jade at all, he still rubbed it vigorously, and didn't forget to explain to Bai Xiyue: "Only in this way can the ointment be useful." β
He used some internal force to reduce her pain as much as possible, but Bai Xiyue's forehead was still sweating, but she grabbed the corner of her clothes and stopped shouting.
After a while, Gu Yichen finally stopped, it was only a few minutes, but Bai Xiyue felt like a century had passed.
"Alright."
Only then did she put down the crumpled clothes that had already been caught, and said viciously, "Thank you, Lord Wang." β
Although she knew that it would be useful to apply medicine like this, she could go back and let Lin Zi get a needle, it would be as effective, and it wouldn't hurt so much, no matter how she could, she could still take the anti-inflammatory drugs in the doctor's system, which were stronger than now.
Bai Xiyue dragged her legs and returned to the original position, far away from him, Gu Yichen didn't care. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, not paying attention to her small movements.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, Bai Xiyue didn't pay attention, her head hit the window frame, her temper came up in an instant, and she opened the curtain angrily, "Dark one, what's going on,"
However, before she could finish her words, she saw a circle of people in black around her.
She quickly lowered the curtain, "No, Lord Wang, these people shouldn't have come to kill you." β
"It sees, it should be." Gu Yichen calmly lifted the curtain and looked at those people, the clothes they were wearing were obviously the people of the Siam Palace, and now they were just surrounding the carriage and did not act, indicating who they were waiting for.
Sure enough, after a while, a man dressed in white came from a distance, with the same mask on his face as Burushino, and walked to a place ten paces away from the carriage and stopped.
"Regent, it's a good day." His tone was extremely arrogant, and he didn't take Gu Yichen seriously at all.
"Get out of the way!" He said lightly.
Bai Xiyue listened to their conversation, and was very curious, so she opened the curtain and revealed a head, as if she was looking from a distance, however, she only saw a mask, how could this person have such a soft spot for masks.
Looking at this posture, he should have come to trouble Gu Yichen, so he didn't have to worry about it. Anyway, with his ability, there must be no one who can't be solved, and when the fight starts, she only needs to take care of herself and Bai Shuang, and Bai Tao's two brushes should be able to deal with those people.
"I don't want to fight with you today, hand over Bai Xiyue, and I'll leave immediately." When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Bai Xiyue, looking like he was bound to win.
whatοΌ How did the war spread to herself, she was so obedient just watching the show, and she could still win the lottery.
Bai Xiyue immediately looked at Gu Yichen, he shouldn't have sent himself out, although he has detoxified now, but he can't unload the grind and kill the donkey, seeing that he has been silent, Bai Xiyue is not very sure in his heart, he looked at the masked man again, he looked quite powerful, I don't know if he can beat it.
"Do it!" Gu Yichen said coldly.
After receiving the order, the secret guards acted immediately, and Bai Xiyue only noticed at this time that there were many secret guards around the carriage, and there were more than one dark six or two people, so she was relieved.
"Regent, do you think you are still the original god of war, what the main hall wants, you can't get it."
As he spoke, he rushed over, the target was obviously Bai Xiyue, Gu Yichen was still sitting straight, looking at him calmly.
The silver needle in Bai Xiyue's hand was already clenched, although she didn't want to show that she knew martial arts so quickly, but the situation was urgent, and she couldn't care about it so much, listening to the tone of the masked man, it seemed that she could beat Gu Yichen, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Then as soon as he approached, he was shocked out by Gu Yichen's internal force, although he didn't fall, but it was still quite heavy, he rubbed his chest, and said disapprerovingly: "You still dare to use internal force, this is looking for death." β
Because it was very close, his words clearly penetrated Bai Xiyue's ears, and she suddenly felt that this voice was so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
"Rakshasa, if you want to die, come!" Gu Yichen said coldly, without a trace of hesitation.
The man hesitated, he knew that if Gu Yichen tried his best at the moment, he would not be able to take Bai Xiyue away, he suddenly laughed, "Regent, you care so much about this princess, for her, you don't hesitate to fight with your life, don't forget, she is just an ordinary woman, you care so much, if your enemy knows, do you think she can still live." β
"Let's go."
After saying that, they left like a puff of smoke, as if they had never been, and everything was calm again.
In this way, nothing else happened along the way, and she arrived at the palace safely, Bai Xiyue was still thinking about the Siam Palace in the carriage, but as soon as she returned to Tingyu Pavilion, she fell asleep directly.
was still woken up by the white frost, and took off the heavy prince's suit.
On the second day, she slept until three o'clock in the morning, and the unprecedented hoarfrost did not call her.
When Bai Xiyue woke up, the sun had already filled the whole room, she rubbed her eyes, and Bai Ze immediately ran over and rubbed her palm with his head.
Bai Shuang heard the sound and also came over, "Princess, you are awake, you are hungry, breakfast is ready." β
"White frost, the sun came out of the west today, why didn't you wake me up, it's really strange that I was allowed to sleep so late." Bai Xiyue teased her.
Bai Shuang smiled and said embarrassedly: "It was ordered by the prince, she said that you were too tired to enter the palace yesterday, let you sleep a little longer, don't wake you up." β
"Gu Yichen has been here." Bai Xiyue was stunned for a moment, when did she sleep so deeply, someone came, and she didn't know, this was not a good thing.
"Lord Wang, I just stood at the door for a while, I said you were asleep, he didn't come in, he just told us not to disturb you, and left."
"Then what did he say he was doing?" Bai Xiyue asked, she felt that if Gu Yichen was fine, she would not have come here, and now that the poison has been resolved, what else will happen.
"The prince didn't say anything, but Miss Lin came here just now and said that she wanted to invite the princess over for tea."
"Lin Mianmian!"
Although Bai Xiyue is not interested in drinking tea, but now that she has a foot injury and can't go too far, she is really bored in this palace, who asked Gu Yichen not to marry a few concubines to come over and let her play, she can only play with Lin Mianmian.
Then she immediately decided to go to tea, "White Frost, give me makeup, comb it better, I'm going to Miss Lin's to drink tea and watch the show." β
"Look at the performance, princess, Miss Lin didn't say that there was a performance!" White Frost asked, and began to groom her neatly.
"You don't understand, you don't need to ask so much, I'll just go by myself later, you and Bai Tao don't have to follow me."
