Chapter 45: Death of the Fragrance and Jade

Bai Jinghao's skirt was half wet, and her makeup was damaged, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly reminded: "Wei Shizi, you recognize the wrong person." ”

Hearing this, Wei Ling stopped, and his tone was surprised and curious: "You are, the eldest lady of the Bai family?" ”

He had seen it in front of Baifumen, and at that time he only felt familiar and cordial, but he didn't expect that today he would directly mistake it for his own sister, and Wei Ling secretly blamed himself for being ridiculous.

"Yes." Bai Jinghao bowed slightly.

Wei Ling turned sideways and looked away, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm clumsy and offended Miss Bai." ”

"It's okay, it's me who sneakily hid here and disturbed the world."

Bai Jinghao shrank to the side as he spoke, hoping that the people standing outside the rocks would leave quickly.

Biwei Ling likes to ask questions, and wondered: "Didn't you order someone to arrange a pitcher for the ladies in the school field, why did you appear here alone?" And, "Even if he wasn't too close, he noticed that the other party had fallen into the water, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "What happened to you?" ”

There is a difference between men and women, so many people are moving around, it is easy to be bumped into!

Bai Jing was anxious, paid attention to the people around him, and was a little relieved to see his entourage standing not far away.

She couldn't answer truthfully, so she made up a reason: "I saw that many young ladies went to play with their own brothers, and I heard that Shizi also invited my second brother, and I was trying to go over to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to accidentally slip when I passed here." ”

"There are a lot of guests today, and many of them like to discuss the length of the conversation. With all due respect, you must not appear in front of people like this, and it is not good for Miss Yu to spread the word. Wei Ling worriedly analyzed the benefits and disadvantages for her.

"Actually, it'll be fine in a while, I'll pretend that nothing happened and return to the young lady's pile, the prince doesn't have to bother with me, you can get busy first."

He replied solemnly: "You are a guest invited by my sister, and there was an accident in the mansion, how can I let you stay here alone?" What's more, it's not convenient for you to stay here, there is just a guard in the inner palace in the racecourse, and now people are being arranged to search everywhere, if the searching guards or servants find you here, it will not affect well. ”

Bai Jing said kindly, it would be better than being discovered with Wei Ling......

However, in the face of the kindness of the person in front of her, she held back her words.

Turning his head, he saw that he was staring at the grass under his feet and lost his mind, thinking that he was thinking, Bai Jinghao was nervous in his heart, lest he find the bloodstains earlier, so he opened his lips and said: "If it is convenient for the prince, can someone call my maid?" ”

Wei Ling looked at her, her eyes were facing each other, and the girl's autumn-like eyes were full of hope, as if she had placed trust and trust in herself.

He was slightly stunned at first, then turned away stiffly, and said casually: "Didn't your maids follow?" ”

Wei Ling felt that the sun at this time was hotter than Fang Cai, burning people dizzy and hot, and muttered to himself: "It must be Li'er who let people take them down to eat and drink, and she came again!" Miss Bai, please wait a moment, I'll let the entourage shout. ”

I saw him go to the path and say a few words to the book, and then he came back.

Bai Jing asked concisely: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"I'll leave when Li'er comes, so that even if someone comes to search, I can block it for you. Otherwise, if they come, wilt thou hide thy in the waters? ”

Not to mention, Bai Jinghao originally planned to do so.

"Why did you still alarm the county lord?"

Wei Ling explained: "I thought about it, the less people know about this matter, the better. The maid is uneasy in the pile, and she will eventually attract suspicion when she looks for it, I will let Li'er come over in a small sedan chair, and you will be the most foolproof when you go back to the front house with her. ”

He really thought about it, and Bai Jing said gratefully: "Thank you, Shizi." ”

Wei Ling replied in a low voice, "You're welcome."

It was bustling in the distance, but it was very quiet here, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Bai Jinghao originally sat on the ground with his back against the rock, basking in the sun and blowing the breeze.

Now, Wei Ling stood aside, even if he didn't look at her without looking at her, but after all, he was embarrassed to be as casual as Fang Cai.

The rock was already half a person high, and she was a little tired after bending over for a long time, and she looked at the beautiful scenery that was intoxicated over there, thinking that she would not pay attention, so she couldn't help but stand up straight and move her legs gently.

Wei Ling is a martial arts practitioner, her ears and eyes are clear, and when she heard the sound, she thought that something had happened to her at the water's edge, so she turned around and quickly looked away.

He blushed even more and stammered an apology: "Yes, I'm sorry." ”

In fact, Bai Jing has been ashore for some time, and his clothes are not stained, and he is no longer like the wet appearance when he first came out of the water, and his overreaction is counterproductive, which makes each other even more awkward.

When Wei Li came, he saw that the two of them were stiff as if they were facing each other, and he looked at his brother in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" The words are unclear, did Sister Jing fall into the water, brother, did you save it? ”

Wei Lingyu said quickly: "It's good that you're here, Miss Bai is behind the rock, and I still have to leave beforehand." ”

He ran like a wind on his feet.

Wei Li looked at his brother's distant figure more and more strangely, took the silver silk cloak of Jinghua Aya from the maid's hand and walked towards the water, and said with concern: "Sister Jinghao, are you okay?" ”

Bai Jinghao walked out of the back of the stone, and Wei Li personally put it on for her, "It was I who didn't take good care of me and frightened my sister." ”

"It's not about you, it's my own problem."

It was indeed her own trouble, Bai Jing avoided the banquet in the princess's mansion last time, but she didn't expect Liu Mao to be so bold, and the will to marry only came down a few days ago, so he dared to instruct the guards in the princess's mansion to trick her into the past.

"Something happened at the racecourse, everyone dispersed, but there is still some chaos in the house, I'll send you back to the front yard first." Wei Li dragged Bai Jinghao, and the two got into the soft sedan together.

Although the soft sedan chair is small, it is made of fragrant yarn silk with excellent air permeability, and the bead curtain is hung to decorate, and people sit in it looming, which is both ventilated and does not affect the scenery, which is an excellent arrangement.

Wei Li looked at the people around him through the light that came in, and asked again: "Why is Sister Jinghao with my brother?" ”

"I fell into the water and could only stay there, and the prince passed by and called you over for me."

Wei Li will be skeptical.

Bai Jinghao could only change the topic and knowingly ask what happened in the racecourse.

"I didn't know that it was so lively over there today, there were many nobles in the palace, I was pulled by the eight princesses and they didn't leave, and then it was because His Royal Highness Taisun found that there was one less when he sent the guards, which alerted everyone to find it. It is also strange to say that the people who came out of the palace actually left their posts without permission and left His Highness before driving without orders, which is really becoming more and more unruly. ”

Hearing her complain like this, Bai Jing felt a little relieved. His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun wants to take care of his face, so naturally it is impossible to say clearly to the outside world what the guards have done, so he can only search on the grounds that the guards have left their posts without permission, and they think that they have found the body, but the guards are guilty, and it is impossible to investigate the cause of death.

After all, if you want to investigate deeply, you must first find out why the guards left their masters. If it is found out that it is actually the emperor's grandson who ordered his personal guards to trick the daughters of the courtiers into seeing him, the officials in the court will not let it go easily in the first place.

She went to the wing room with Wei Li, reapplied her makeup after cleaning her face, and tidied it up again, and finally recovered as before. It's that there are a few creases on the dress, but it's normal to play with the pot, and it's better to be like this than to change clean clothes and make people guess the reason for the change.

His Royal Highness the Taisun has been looking for his relatives for a long time and has not seen him, and he returned to the palace with great interest.

After he left, the Nine Kings and the Prince of Yunxi also left, and the other guests went to the Chengguo Mansion with Wei Ling for dinner.

The ladies of the various mansions said goodbye one after another, and when Wei Li sent Bai Jinghao to the car, the housekeeper in the house came in a panic: "County lord, I have searched all the mountains behind the house, but I still haven't found Miss Cheng." The third master of the Cheng family said that Miss Cheng had not gone to the racecourse to look for him in the afternoon. ”

Wei Li stumbled when he heard this.

Bai Jinghao hurriedly supported her: "Be careful." ”

Wei Li was already shocked, turned around and said hurriedly: "Where did Sister Qi Nian go?" She obviously went to play with us, but the guards in the school yard said that she went to the racecourse to find her third brother, how could she not see her? ”

Because of this, she didn't talk to Bai Jing anymore, and hurriedly sent her away, so she went into the house and took someone to find it herself.

Bai Jing remembers Cheng Qinian's concentration and seriousness when she held the rouge eyebrow pencil on her face with a pair of skillful hands, and her soft voice when she was annoyed and said that she tried her best, she felt very comfortable.

After returning home, Bai Jinghao instructed Nuan Yue to wait for her second brother in the front yard, she wanted to feel at ease before going to bed.

As a result, what was waiting for was the news that Cheng Qinian had fallen to his death.
