Chapter 51: Losing the Crown Prince
Bai Yucheng forced himself to calm down, but even if he stabilized his mind, he couldn't think.
"Bai Yucheng, what are you doing lying on the ground?"
Bai Yucheng heard the voice, looked up, and saw the girl's beautiful face.
"Is that you? Is it really you? How did you get back. ”
Just when Bai Yucheng was on the verge of going berserk, several guards brought Ji Lianmei back.
Ji Lianmei saw Bai Yucheng lying on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the situation.
He hugged Ji Lianmei tightly in his arms, rubbed her long hair, and kept chanting: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Mian Fu only felt that there was something strange in it, and asked Ji Lianmei: "Miss Lianmei, how did you come back?" ”
"Huh? The masked man flew with me for a while, then threw me in a wooded area and left. Later, the eldest brother of the guard caught up with me, and this brought me back. ”
"Oh no, it's a trick, Your Highness, hurry back, if you don't guess wrong, it should be Gongzi Yuxin who is getting in the way."
At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly hurriedly ran towards the Prince's Mansion from a distance, shouting loudly as he ran: "Your Highness, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time, and when I heard that you left halfway, Long Yan was already furious, but at this time, someone from the Hanlin Academy came to report that many students in the Hanlin Academy had been poisoned and died."
"Poisoned?" Bai Yucheng's face changed slightly, and he bit his lip.
He suddenly remembered that on the day he took Ji Lianmei to Hanlin Academy, he had bumped into a horseman on the stone road, with a strange symbol-like pattern on his body. The water in the bucket is slightly milky white.
If nothing else, the problem lies in the water.
Bai Yucheng patted Ji Lianmei on the shoulder and told her, "Follow Mianfu to stay in the mansion and don't run around." ”
He then immediately straddled his horse and hurried to the riding range.
Mian Fu glanced at Ji Lianmei meaningfully:
Today's events are too coincidental. Why didn't the group kidnap Ji Lianmei, but let her go halfway? Could it be that she had already colluded with these masked people and wrote and acted in this good show? Or is this a countermeasure by the enemy?
No matter what, for the sake of His Royal Highness, Ji is merciful and beautiful, and he can't stay.
Royal Cavalry Shooting Range.
"Cheng'er, what did you do when you left halfway?" Emperor Song leaned lazily on the red gold tiger chair and asked slowly. Bai Yucheng, who knelt down and rushed back to the archery range.
"Back to my father, there was suddenly something important to deal with in the house, and Cheng'er rushed back non-stop."
"Something important? Hmph, what's more important than announcing that you come to see me? I tell you, my business should be your business. I have never had a problem with this Hanlin Academy, why did there be so many mistakes in your hands? Fortunately, it was not the royal family and nobles who died, otherwise how would you want me to explain to this Manchu Dynasty! Emperor Song grabbed a copper wine glass from the table and smashed it on Bai Yucheng's head.
Hearing a muffled sound, the wine glass smashed on Bai Yucheng's head impartially, and a bruise immediately appeared on the white forehead, but his face still did not change.
"Cheng'er knows his mistakes, and he will definitely find out who is behind the scenes, and give these innocent people justice."
"No need, the great wizard said, the reason why something happened to the Hanlin Academy is because you brought those poor people to the Hanlin Academy, which angered the royal ancestors and ancestors, so you punished and drove those people out. Besides, just a few ordinary people died, take some money to send their families, and then ask the mage to do a Fa, and go to the evil spirit of this Hanlin Academy, so that these dead souls can disperse as soon as possible. Emperor Song waved his hand sleepily, "Cheng'er, I am very disappointed in you, from now on, this prince, you don't want to be it!" Give me a good time to reflect on when I go home. The Hanlin Academy is still in the hands of the heart. I am tired, so let today's banquet be dispersed. ”
Under the order of Emperor Song and Yuan, most of the courtiers and princes scattered one after another.
Bai Yucheng was still kneeling on the ground, his eyes empty and empty.
"Great, the king, brother, father and emperor are gone, what are you still kneeling here?" Gongzi Yuxin took a step forward and deliberately dragged the three words "Brother Wang" for a long time, making it clear that he was ridiculing Bai Yucheng, "I said it a long time ago, it's mine, it's mine after all." ”
"It's your hand." Bai Yucheng's voice was low, exuding a hint of coldness.
"yes, I did it. A few cheap lives can be exchanged for my glory and wealth, what a bargain. Hahahaha, Brother Wang, why bother to engage in equal admission, it's good now, killing these innocent civilian students, in the final analysis, isn't it all to blame you? Okay, I don't want you to say it, this king is going to drive out those homeless people in the Hanlin Courtyard, and I won't accompany them. ”
The company's Yuxin patted Bai Yucheng's shoulder blade, laughed insolently and left.
A light rain fell from the sky, falling to the ground, wetting the dirt road. Bai Yucheng knelt on the ground, and the muddy water followed the clothes, gradually dyeing Bai Yucheng's white clothes with mud. The rain rested on the long, curled eyelashes, replacing tears.
Gongzi Yixuan held an umbrella, squatted down beside Bai Yucheng, and said to Bai Yucheng: "Brother Prince, the guests are gone, and my father is also gone, so don't kneel here." Xuan'er knows that you have lost your storage position, and you feel uncomfortable, but don't spoil your body like this. ”
"Xiao Xuan, I'm fine, you care, go back to the palace quickly." Bai Yucheng stood up and said to Gongzi Yixuan with a smile.
He didn't take the umbrella handed over by Gongzi Yixuan, nor did he get on the carriage that Shengyu Xiaoyu parked outside, dressed in white, and his picturesque back looked lonely and lonely, just like a rootless duckweed, drifting in the rain, step by step, walking back to the house.
For Gongzi Yuxin's group, those ordinary students are chess pieces fighting for power, no, they are not even chess pieces. They are sacrifices that can be sacrificed at any time, and even finding out the case and letting them die clearly are regarded as redundant by their father. What are the people in such an era.......
I'm sorry, I can't help you, it's my momentary obsession that hurts you.....
"Sleep Fu, what about Bai Yucheng? I didn't see him back last night. It was just early in the morning, and Ji Lianmei ran into the sleeping room and grabbed him from the bed.
Ji Lianmei couldn't sleep last night when she tossed and turned in bed, so she ran to the door to wait for Bai Yucheng, who knew that after waiting and waiting, she actually fell asleep. When it was dawn, she was woken up by the guards guarding the door, and after asking about Bai Yucheng's situation, she immediately ran over to find Mianfu.
Although Mianfu was a man, his body was as thin as a woman, and Ji Lianmei easily pulled him up from the bed.
Mian Fu gathered his slightly open shirt and responded: "Your Highness sometimes doesn't come in through the main gate, you can go to Qinxue Garden to see if he's there." ”
"Oh, okay." Ji Lianmei immediately let go of the hands that were holding the collar of Mian Fu, and ran towards Qin Xueyuan like a smoke.
"Hey, what an impatient girl."
Ji Lianmei stumbled into Qinxue Garden, and was about to knock on Bai Yucheng's door, but hesitated.
What is my reason for coming to him? Although he has an old enmity with me, he left the table for my sake, as if I didn't want to owe him anything. Yes, that's right.
Ji Lianmei gently buckled Bai Yucheng's door.
The wooden door slowly opened, and the face of a woman was greeted by it.
Asai Bena........
"How are you?" Asaibena frowned in disgust, stirring a bowl of potion in her hand, and asked rhetorically, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I....... I'm just here to see if His Highness has come back, and since there's nothing I need to do, I'll go back first. Ji Lianmei felt that she was at a loss, and as she spoke, she lowered her head.
"Wait a minute, come in with me."
Asai Bena led Ji Reimi into the inner room, and on the bed lay a young man.
Ji Lianmei had never seen such a white jade cheng. He had become so thin and haggard, his dark hair was a little messy, and he could even see a slightly blue-gray stubble, his eyes were deep-set, and his pale lips were chapped.
But after one night's work, he seemed to have aged a lot.
"What's wrong with him?" Almost without thinking, she fell to her knees in front of his bed, testing the temperature of his forehead with her hands.
Hiss, scary-hot.
"Get out of here!" Asaibena stretched out her hand and pushed her, and scolded loudly, "Ji Lianmei, don't you still think he is not bad enough?" If it weren't for you, how could he have lost his place, and how could he be even sicker now? I know, you like Bai Yucheng, but you can't give him anything. You don't understand his ideals and ambitions, and you don't understand his good intentions, but I do! We all have blood on our hands, we are the ones who go all the way! Put away your ignorant kindness, you don't know anything. ”
"If you still have any mercy, stay away from him. You remember, he is the husband of my Asaibena, even if he is sick, he can only be sick for me! What kind of thing are you, little maidservant, don't get out of here for this princess! ”
This time, Ji Lianmei didn't argue with her, didn't reason with her, got up from the ground, didn't care about patting the dust on her hands, and quietly closed the door and left.
I also thought that if I wanted to take away everything from him, his reputation, his position, even his life, I would get everything he owed me back. Later, I found that I couldn't fight him, so I held the mentality of sending people under the fence, hoping that God would let the wicked people eat the consequences. But now, he is no longer the high-ranking Crown Prince, his life is dying, I should get what I wanted. But why am I not only unhappy, but my heart is also blocked.
Because in my heart, I don't hate him anymore....... He took advantage of me, and now his enemies use me to calculate him; He killed Ji Jingchen, but he brought me good friends like Yuruo and twin sisters, and he was doubly good to me; He ruined my desire to go home, but here he is, and he gave me another home.
After such careful calculation, what he owes me has long been paid off. Then what reason do I have to hate him?
How good it would have been if life had only been as it had been when we first saw it, when we had nothing to do with each other. And now, after so many disturbances, love and hatred, our relationship is back to the starting point.......
