Chapter 13: The Mysterious Little Milk Dog
Prime Minister Bai Cheng was ready to set off on the second day after receiving the dispatch order, and Bai Xiyue and Mrs. Bai saw each other off outside the door.
"Daddy, be careful all the way and come back early!" Bai Xiyue said with a worried face, she always felt that this inspection was not so simple, and hoped that she had thought too much.
Bai Xiyue was worried on the side, and Prime Minister Bai on the other side ,,,,,
"Madam, take care of yourself at home, remember to miss me." As soon as Prime Minister Bai took Mrs. Bai's hand and said reluctantly, thinking of separating from his beloved wife for so many days, Prime Minister Bai felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"What do you say, my daughter is still around, I don't respect the old man." Although Mrs. Bai scolded him, she looked carefully at her face with a shy expression, and she was not happy in her heart, but because her daughter was on the side, it was not easy to show it too obviously.
Bai Xiyue, who was standing on the side like air, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bai Tao, you say, why do I want to eat dog food here."
Bai Tao looked dazed: "Miss, what is the dog food, is the food the dog eats, isn't that just leftovers."
Bai Xiyue pinched Bai Tao's blank little face and said, "It's nothing."
Bai Tao didn't have too much entanglement, anyway, her own lady would always say something she didn't understand.
After Prime Minister Bai left, Bai Xiyue was still not at ease, and then went out.
There are many things that Bai Xiyue is inconvenient to come forward, and if she is not careful, it is easy to cause disaster to Baifu, so she had to go to Baihualou.
After entering Baihualou from the backyard, Bai Xiyue counted the door number and entered a room, which was light and full of peony fragrance.
She came in with a loud voice, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the room.
"You're here." A coquettish voice sounded, and I saw a lotus root arm stretched out from behind the light veil, and a woman walked in front of Bai Xiyue, her eyes turned slightly, this face definitely has the potential to be a popular face.
"Okay, put on this look, and you're still going to tempt me." Every time Bai Xiyue saw Rouge like this, she would secretly sigh and cry out about her wickedness.
Rouge is the titular boss of "Baihualou", and has been secretly operating for Bai Xiyue all these years.
"Is there anything wrong with coming to me this time!" Rouge poured a cup of tea by herself, and her every move was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
Bai Xiyue is also very beautiful, but she is a clean beauty, like an elf who strayed into the world, but this elf often wears the face of the little white rabbit and does demonic things.
"Go to Tianji Pavilion to find a few bodyguards and secretly protect my father." Bai Xiyue said with a serious expression.
"Prime Minister Bai, does anyone want to be unfavorable to Bai Mansion!" Hearing this, Rouge also sat up solemnly, she also heard that the emperor sent Prime Minister Bai to inspect, Prime Minister Zuo has been targeting him, in case he wants to do something this time, it is indeed easier not to be in Yuancheng.
Bai Xiyue shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart, it's always good to have one more heart."
Bai Xiyue hoped that she was thinking too much, but she had to guard against some people, such as Prime Minister Zuo.
"Okay, I'll do it right away, don't come here too often, in case someone finds out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but I'm afraid that Baifu will also suffer." Rouge also felt that it was better to have an extra layer of protection, but at the same time, she was worried that Bai Xiyue would often go out to Baihualou and be recognized by people with a heart, and it would not be easy to get out of this kind of place.
After coming out of Baihualou, it was drizzling outside, and it seemed that it had been raining for a while, and the road surface had become a lot wetter, and the street was much colder.
Bai Xiyue took a red umbrella from Rouge and went into the rain, she originally wanted to see the person who was injured yesterday in the Regent's Mansion, but when she walked to the door, she didn't go in.
"Master, why don't you go in." Bai Ze lay on Bai Xiyue's shoulder, his two big eyes looked around, he always felt that there were people around him staring at him again, but he didn't find anything.
"I'd better stop meddling."
Bai Xiyue thought of Gu Yichen's words yesterday, and felt that she was looking for something to do, everyone said that they didn't have to come back before Lin Zi'an came back, so let's go back, whether that person lives or dies has nothing to do with him.
"Let's go back! Bai Ze. Bai Xiyue said.
Bai Ze didn't have any objections, mainly because he didn't like to go to the cold place of the Regent's Palace.
When Bai Xiyue turned around, she didn't notice that somewhere in the tree moved.
On the way back, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Bai Xiyue also quickened her pace, and when she turned into an alley, she suddenly saw a man lying on the ground, and the rain had completely wet his clothes, and she didn't know how long she had been lying here.
"Bai Ze, go over and take a look." Bai Xiyue approached Bai Ze's ear and whispered.
The doctor system didn't give an alarm, and she couldn't tell if the man was dead or alive, or maybe he was still in danger.
When Bai Ze heard Bai Xiyue's words, he jumped off her shoulder, quickly ran to the man's side, first circled around him, and then tentatively probed his snort, and then ran back to Bai Xiyue's side.
"Master, he's still breathing."
Bai Xiyue picked up the drenched Bai Ze and wiped the water on his body with his sleeve.
"Master, we can't save him!" Bai Ze rubbed her palm.
There was breathing but there was no call for help, maybe he just fainted, Bai Xiyue thought about it again and again and walked over with an umbrella, she squatted down and observed the man, facing sideways, she couldn't see his whole picture clearly, but from the side of his face, he was a handsome guy.
"The face looks like a little milk dog, sister, I'll do a good deed to save you today."
Bai Xiyue said to herself, who doesn't like the handsome guy, maybe this person will promise him as soon as he is excited.
She stretched out her hand to check his pulse, and found that he was only drugged, the amount was very slight, and there was no danger to his life, but it had been raining here, and I was afraid that he would be infected with wind and cold, so he still had to change places.
Such a little milk dog, it's a pity to die, Bai Xiyue used her strength to eat milk, dragged him to a storytelling pavilion next to him, and helped him lean against the pillar, at this time Bai Xiyue could fully see his appearance.
It is indeed the appearance of a little milk dog, but there is still some fierce air between the eyebrows, I don't know what makes a beautiful boy stunned so much, Bai Xiyue can't help but make up a bloody love in her brain.
"It's good that you met me, if someone else is someone else, maybe they will sell you to the Qinglou, and this appearance can be sold for a lot of money." The wind outside was a little strong, although this place could be sheltered, but there was still some rain blown in by the wind, and the drug in him was not deep, and it was almost time to wake up, Bai Xiyue covered his head with an umbrella, and got up to leave.
"Master, you gave him the umbrella, so how can we go back."
"You just hide under my hat, and you won't get drenched." Bai Xiyue brought a hat with her when she went out, but the hat could only block her head, and her body would still get wet, so she asked Rouge for an umbrella.
Saying that, Bai Xiyue put Bai Ze back on his shoulder and rushed into the rain.
After the one person and one cat left, the people in the pavilion opened their dead eyes leisurely, Nan Junye reached out and touched his face, "Sold to the Qinglou, she is really an unusual woman," thinking like this, his face darkened, what is the relationship between this woman and the regent, a woman who knows medical skills is by his side, it is not a good thing.
Nan Junye originally wanted to sneak attack Gu Yichen, but happened to bump into Bai Xiyue wandering at the gate of the Regent's Mansion, so he followed him over, trying to figure out the relationship between the two, but he didn't expect that it was a person who knew medical skills.
He put away the red umbrella on the side, he must not let the regent's legs get better, Nan Junye's face was fierce, and he looked like the little milk dog just now.
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion was not very far from that small alley, Bai Xiyue was also drenched in soup when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss, Zuo Yu'er asked someone to hand over the post." After Bai Shuang was busy and saw that Bai Xiyue's expression was okay, he tentatively said about the post.
Bai Xiyue took the post handed by Bai Shuang, there were some three gilded big characters on it, "Lotus Appreciation Club", and Zuo Yuer's signature below, Bai Xiyue frowned, what does Zuo Yuer mean, she doesn't agree with herself at all on weekdays, this Lotus Appreciation Club is not greasy, and no one believes it when she says it.
"Miss, the slave knows that you have always disliked this kind of banquet for young ladies, and I wanted to go back, but the person who sent the post said that you will definitely go when you see this." As she spoke, she pulled out an envelope.
Bai Xiyue took the envelope suspiciously, and when she opened it, there was only one line of words inside:
I didn't want Prime Minister Bai to have anything to do, so I came to the lotus banquet as promised.
Bai Xiyue's expression was dazed, it was really the Hongmen Banquet, was Zuo Yu'er ready to do it, it seemed that she was not too worried, fortunately, she had hired someone from Tianji Pavilion to protect Prime Minister Bai before, but I don't know what their strength is, Bai Xiyue still can't be completely assured.
"Second prince, Prime Minister Zuo said that the people selected for this year's exam are all arranged in the Wanghe Pavilion next to the palace, just wait for you to take them into the palace in two days."
Yusheng just met Prime Minister Zuo who came out of the Longyin Palace, and when he heard about it, he came back as soon as possible to convey his words, The second prince is still living in the palace, and he is a good helper of the emperor in some trivial matters.
"Wanghe Pavilion, I didn't always be in Yingtian Academy in the past, how did I change places this year." Gu Jiuxiao asked suspiciously.
"Prime Minister Zuo said that it was the emperor's meaning, so that the second prince would take them into the palace tomorrow."
"He came out of the Dragon Yin Palace, is this the emperor's intention or his meaning."
It is a well-known thing that the emperor values Prime Minister Zuo, and it is precisely because of this that Gu Jiuxiao wanted to win him over, and hinted a few times, but he pretended not to understand.
"Second prince, Prime Minister Zuo is indeed a little ignorant, why do we have to lower our posture so much to win him over." Yusheng didn't understand very much, among the emperor's several princes, the second prince is the most likely person to become the crown prince at present, there is no need to go to such great lengths to win over the minister, if the emperor knows, there may be suspicion, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"I didn't know enough about him before, but now I naturally have a way to get him to beg me."
After Gu Jiuxiao was rejected by Prime Minister Zuo several times, he sent someone to investigate his relationship carefully, and discovered the existence of Bai Xiyue, Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Bai Cheng were not in harmony on the surface, and Gu Jiuxiao immediately thought of a comprehensive plan.
