Chapter 125: Who Seeks the Skin of the Tiger
"Zhong Wuyan has gradually developed a strong and arrogant character who is mighty and unyielding, rich and noble, and this time, why did he agree to the marriage of Wei Ziyan so readily?"
Ruoxi's thin chin was slightly raised, looking around at the extremely harsh living environment around her, and she actually smiled, although the light was not bright at this time, Bai Jiang still felt that she clearly saw her incomprehensible smile marks, the emotions contained in it were too heavy, too carefully hidden, even if his eyes were like torches, as sharp as him, it was difficult to understand the deep meaning.
"Bai Jiang." She called his name softly, looked at his bewitching eyebrows with a peaceful gaze, and asked lightly with a smile, "What do you think of me here?" ”
Bai Jiang didn't think about it, "It's not that good at all." Is this a place where people live? He was stunned for a moment after speaking, because he saw the other meaning in Ruoxi's eyes. He raised his eyebrows, held his forehead, and sighed in a low voice, "Could it have something to do with you being abandoned here?" He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the change in her expression, and for such a momentary moment, he actually expected her to shake his head in denial. However, it backfired...... Ruoxi nodded calmly and met his shocked gaze, "Surprised?" ”
Bai Jiang couldn't say a word at all. I could only listen to her low voice, "Actually, I didn't come up with this idea, but it happened that when I had nothing to do, Wei Cheng found me and negotiated a deal with me." ”
"What deal?" Bai Jiang became cautious, Wei Cheng was a hungry wolf, he wanted to negotiate a deal with others, and he would definitely not let others take advantage.
"Hehe, you have been by Wei Sa's side for a long time, and naturally you know that he is a person who likes the new and hates the old, so I am not surprised that he will ignore me, I also had ulterior motives when I approached him, but ...... Coming to this point, but I didn't expect it, but I couldn't continue to lurk in the Hall of Forgotten Souls, but it made my future plans greatly restricted, you should remember that at that time, Wei Sa was temporarily sent by Wei Ying to the Lingnan area to treat the ice and floods, and I was troubled by Wei Furong again, and I was so sick and groggy that I couldn't think of any effective way before he left. It was at this time that Wei Cheng came to him. The content of the transaction is simple, he will help me create an opportunity to return to the Hall of Forgotten Souls, and I will serve as his eyeliner in the Hall of Forgotten Souls, providing him with information about Wei Sa at all times. ”
Ruoxi brushed the broken hair from her ear, smiled casually, raised her chin and nodded around, "And this is the time he helped me create." ”
Bai Jiang's expression was a little stunned, Ruoxi knew his thoughts, and smiled at him with relief, "It's very good here, it's pure, during my time here, I have figured out a lot of heart knots that are difficult to open in the past, and I am much more comfortable." ”
"Wei Cheng is a tiger, you make a deal with him, talk about business, it is equivalent to seeking skin with a tiger, he is not a reliable collaborator." Bai Jiang frowned and expressed the worry in his heart.
"Yes, he can't be trusted, but he doesn't necessarily think that I, the little servant who seems to be subject to him, is also unreliable." There was some discomfort under the bed, Ruoxi crossed his legs on the kang, moved his butt inward, changed the place and continued, "I didn't actually put the treasure completely on Wei Chengyi, I was gambling, a chip was divided into two points, and Wei Sa's body, I only pressed half of it." ”
"What about the other half? Who are you pressed on? ”
Even the sourness was fiercely curbed by other thoughts, Ruoxi deceived herself and patted her cheek with her palm, as if she snapped twice like this, and all the discomfort was driven away, her relaxed tone made Bai Jiang feel strange, she looked at his good-looking eyes, and replied lightly, "Zhong Wuyan." ”
In the past, when the Northern Underworld was not yet dead, Bai Chuan was the little princess's Mr. Xixi, and he often made up excuses to run to the palace just to meet him, but he couldn't see it as he wished, because Bai Chuan was the princess's teacher, and he could only haunt the harem if he wanted to, and he was the son of a foreign minister, and he couldn't enter the harem at will without the king's order. He runs to the palace every day, and it is inevitable that he can bump into Bai Chuan so many times, every time, what he sees is the gentle Bai Chuan quietly guarding the naughty little princess, and the little princess who is held in the palm of his hand by 10,000 people is always around another young man, he later learned that the young man is the princess's personal guard, the son of Prime Minister Zhong Qin, Zhong Wuyan.
"Sure enough......" Bai Jiang changed his posture, but no longer looked at her, "From beginning to end, you were just using him." I should have thought of it a long time ago. He had always felt that this was the strange thing in his heart, but Bai Jiang was unwilling to let himself believe in his sharp and excessive intuition. However, the little princess he saw at that time was so innocent and lively, and every gesture brought out a natural noble atmosphere, although she was young, she could imagine her beauty when she grew up in the future. Because he is the person Shirakawa cares about, he pays special attention to the little princess, and after a long time, he can't help but look unpleasant from the beginning, and gradually, he understands what attracts Shirakawa.
It was her eyes, whether it was looking at Zhong Wuyan or Bai Chuan, or even at him, a person who was ridiculed in the court, that was so kind, natural, cool as water, clear and lofty. That's right, it's her truth, and people can't take their eyes off it. Such a pair of eyes made him still think about it and feel nostalgic. Bai Jiang smiled bitterly, he understood what he had been reluctant to admit all along. What he found unacceptable was that such a little princess who was loved by everyone was no longer able to see it today. The thin woman sitting in front of him was not only robbed of the halo of glory on her head by a strong enemy, but also eroded her innocence by hatred.
She is now left with such a shell and a desire for revenge.
Her soul is incomplete.
Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, waiting for him to turn around and look at herself again. Slowly tapping his knee, "There is one thing you said wrong, I seem to be taking advantage of him, but not all the time. ”
"At least, I've spent many years liking him wholeheartedly. Just like Wei Ziyan now, I like him and want to treat him as one of those rare treasures, hide him, and keep him for myself. Her sharp cheeks have long since lost the dimples of her childhood, but the memories of the years still stubbornly occupy her mind, refusing to leave, sneering, she said, "It's quite interesting to say, when I like him, he treats me very well, and when I hate him, his actions are more intense, I really don't know what Zhong Wuyan thinks." ”
"He shouldn't know who you are, right?" Bai Jiang thought for a moment and asked.
"Probably not. Hehe, this makes me feel strange, he doesn't want to put a good princess Ziyan, but wants to be on the bar with me, an ugly and mediocre little palace maid, it's really weird. ”
Bai Jiang finally turned his head to look at her, his eyes were deep, he didn't know whether it was sympathy or pity, and said in a low voice, "Do you know, Zhong Wuyan went to look for the Third Highness two days ago. ”
Just before Wei Ying announced his marriage to Wei Ziyan. I was not present when they spoke, and the exact content of the conversation is unknown, but I suspect that it was very closely related to his marriage. Since...... Zhong Wuyan finally agreed to the marriage, which is equivalent to the Third Highness's statement. ”
"Well, he'll come." Ruoxi slowly smiled, but there was no half of joy.
"Third Highness...... He's already very different to you. Bai Jiang thought for a long time and thought of such a wording. Seeing that Ruoxi didn't have any special reaction, he continued, "At first, he was extremely kind to you, it was indeed his usual style, it was a whim, and when he secretly went to investigate your identity, I really sweated. Immediately send a message to Shirakawa and ask him to make a plan as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, I said how did Wei Sa send people to Xinglin Mountain and only saw an empty mountain, it turns out that you helped a lot." Ruoxi suddenly turned serious, and his tone became a little firmer, "Whether you are so dedicated because of Bai Chuan or because of the heart of the country, I have to thank you." ”
Bai Jiang furrowed his brows, "Why is this sentence so awkward, it's unlucky to listen to it." However, you just said that you promised Wei Cheng to monitor the Third Highness, how are you going to deal with it? ”
"The soldiers will block the water and come to the earth, I haven't thought about what to do. It depends on the situation, and one step at a time. Ruoxi said it very casually.
Seeing that it was not early, Bai Jiang stood up, and couldn't help but spit out a sentence that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, "Princess, it's not wise to use hurting yourself as a bargaining chip to win, don't use this method in the future." ”
"The Buddha cut the meat and fed the eagle to make it have an epiphany, in fact, it is the same as your practice, but although the eagle later fell into the right path, but because of the Buddha's charity and multiplied its power, touch is not the Buddha, in the future, don't do this kind of stupid thing that you have eliminated your own strengths, and the relatives and enemies are happy." Bai Jiang patiently persuaded.
"Hehe, I don't want to." Ruoxi smiled faintly, "Didn't I have no choice at that time, the last thing a woman can use is her own body." In the future, with you, I definitely won't have to use such stupid methods again. She smiled, and her white face showed a little brilliance. Bai Jiang sighed, got up and beckoned Hua Dong to come over, Hua Dong rushed over excitedly, he finally waited until the two of them finished talking, from the time he came in to the present, he hadn't spoken to Sister Ruoxi properly.
"Sister Ruoxi, don't worry, Butler Bai will definitely find a way to help you out, and when the time comes, you have to take me to the fish pond to touch the fish, this is what you promised me, don't forget it." Hua Dong leaned over his round little head and threw himself into Ruoxi's arms.
Ruoxi smiled, touched his head, and pinched Huadong's chubby little face, "I know, when the time comes, let you see your Ruoxi sister's superb fishing skills, and I guarantee that you will be convinced!" ”
"That's right, Bai Jiang, Ah Ming's matter, don't talk about it to others, but ......" Ruoxi stopped, moved his lips slightly, and didn't make a sound, Bai Jiang nodded, and lifted Huadong, who was still tired of Ruoxi, "Hurry up, go quickly, if you delay today's work, I can deduct your silver." ”
