Chapter 37: All or Nothing

On this day, several unfortunate families who lost their children gathered together, intending to intercept the sedan chair of Lord Zhou, the first Qing official of the dynasty, and sue the emperor! And among them, there is Sa'er, who came alone without telling her husband.

Everyone pressed their handprints on the paper, and when the sedan chair came, everyone rushed forward and knelt down to sink their feelings. Because of the same misfortune, everyone was very emotional. Because of the thought that his lovely son is still unknown to life, Sa'er also has red eyes.

"Look, isn't that Lord Zhou's sedan chair!"

I don't know how long I waited, but Lord Zhou finally came late, and everyone's eyes full of gloom finally revealed a look of hope. But before the crowd could rush up, a group of soldiers in armor suddenly rushed in, and without saying a word, they detained them.

"Why are you arresting us, what crime have we committed!"

"Yes, we're going to see Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, you have to call the shots for us! ”

"Stop yelling!" A soldier-like man in the lead said impatiently, "Fortunately, what you met today is Lord Zhou, if it were other adults, you would have been arrested in prison a long time ago, so how can you have time to ramble here." Let's go, let's go! ”

"Why do you want us to go?" Sa'er squeezed forward excitedly and said angrily, "We lost the child, and we are not allowed to speak out, is there any royal law in this world!" I thought that Master Zhou would make decisions for us, but it turned out that he was also a greedy person who was afraid of death! Since you don't have the ability to petition for the people, then don't swagger through the market in the name of the Lord Qingtian! ”

"You slut, you dare to slander Lord Zhou!" The chief of the guard glared, pointed at Sa'er and ordered, "Arrest this slut for me, with the intention of slandering the name of the imperial court, and execute him on a later day!" ”

"Yes!"

The two little soldiers put their hands in and set Sa'er up. Sa'er looked at the sedan chair farther and farther away from Lord Zhou unwillingly, and shouted angrily, "Heaven is unfair, heaven is unfair!" ”

Such a chaotic scene has long gathered a group of people. Everyone talked about the officers and soldiers, and when they saw the sa child who was running and shouting, they were even more sympathetic.

"God is evil!" An elderly grandmother wiped the corners of her eyes and couldn't help crying.

Baililan, who happened to pass by here, heard the noise, so he asked people to stop the carriage and lift the curtain to look.

"What's wrong up front, it's so noisy."

"Back to the county lord, it's some adults who have lost their children who are clamoring to see Lord Zhou."

"What a fool. What can that timid guy do for them! Wandering in the chaotic crowd, Bai Lilan asked Qiu Xi, "If you bypass here, how long will it take to get to West Street?" ”

"At least half an hour."

Frowning impatiently, Baili Lan said, "Then get around here, I don't know how long they are going to make trouble." ”

"County Lord!" Before Bai Lilan could return to the carriage, she was stopped by Dong Xue, "Do you think the one who was caught by the officers and soldiers looks like the second lady?" ”

Following the sound of winter snow, Baili Lan looked over. In the rows of spears shaking, a woman with long hair and purple clothes was pushed and shoved. She is thin and stubborn, and her refusal to admit defeat is really similar to Baili Lan.

At the moment when he saw Bailisa, the image buried deep in Baililan's brain exploded suddenly. The girl who always likes to stand behind herself and timidly call her eldest sister, the girl who cries for three days because the snow rabbit died, the girl who can't recite the poetry scriptures and is punished by the female teacher...... After a short time, the image of a quiet, obedient woman came into Baililan's mind. The woman who was once as elegant as ink was now like a maple leaf, being pushed around by those men, she waved her arms mechanically, as if to grab something, but every time it was in vain, only a few blood marks were cut on her body by the iron blade.

It wasn't until Baili Lan saw Sa'er that she suddenly woke up and thought of a very important question. Where are Baililan's relatives?

"Winter Snow Hatred, you take Sa'er back, remember, do it cleanly, don't make trouble for yourself!"

"Yes!" The two of them took the order and left, and at the same time, Qiushuang Chunyu and the others drove the carriage to the other side and hid in a shadow.

"Ahh

The chief guard suddenly felt a huge pain in his ear, touched it, and found that it was bleeding! Then he looked at the woman with blood stains on her mouth under her, and almost went crazy, "You crazy woman, you dare to bite me!" Throwing Sa'er to the ground, the guard was full of fierce light, and raised his spear to stab Sa'er's chest!

Dingβ€”β€”

Just hearing a crisp sound, the spear in the hand of the chief guard cracked, and along the crack where the spear parted, you could see a blood red, which was bubbling with blood at the moment.

"You!" Before he died, the chief guard looked at Sa'er on the ground in disbelief, and then his feet went limp, and he fell backwards.

Sa'er was so dumbfounded by this sudden change that she forgot to scream when someone grabbed her by the collar and jumped into the air.

Seeing the image change under her, Sa'er was stunned, and it wasn't until her feet hit the ground again that she realized that she was still conscious, because her feet were too weak to support herself.

"Second Miss!"

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, Xia Yu hurriedly greeted them. Looking at the embarrassed Baili Sa, Xia Yu's eyes became red, "Second Miss, how much suffering have you suffered!" ”

"Summer rain? Are you Xia Yu? ”

Xia Yu couldn't stop nodding his head and sobbing, "I'm Xia Yu, I'm Xia Yu!" ”

The dull gaze finally came alive, turning little by little, and then, his gaze fell on Baili Lan who was standing at the door.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Eldest sister! ”

Seeing Bai Lilan at a glance, Bai Lisa immediately ran over as if she saw a child like a father and mother, and cried loudly, "Eldest sister, it turns out that you are still alive, we all thought that you were dead on the day you entered the palace!" ”

Bai Li Lan didn't like such close contact with people, although in her memory, Bai Li Lan, who had died, had the closest relationship with these two girls, but she still couldn't force herself to accept such close contact.

The strong arm moved Baili Sa, who was constantly sobbing, away, and Bai Lilan looked at her with a cold gaze, and asked calmly, "What the hell is going on, how can you be chased by officers and soldiers?" Also, where have you been all these years? ”

Hearing Bai Lilan mention the scene just now, Sa'er cried even more sadly, "The third sister stole her limelight in front of the Queen Mother because you stole her limelight, and in a fit of anger, she followed her aunt back to her house." After my father died, the family fight was fierce, and my mother took me and my fourth sister back to our home. Because you have already had a marriage contract with the prince, you must have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and we will go with peace of mind. Only Xiaobao, his father was afraid that he would be driven out by the enemy, so he asked the old housekeeper to take him out of the capital and went to Wulao Mountain, where there was a father's cronies who would take care of Xiaobao. You also know my mother's background, and life in my hometown is not easy, but fortunately I met my husband and was willing to take us in. He is in a small business, and this time he came to the capital just to buy a batch of new goods so that he can return to the town to sell. However, as soon as we entered the capital, we were killed by the coachman and took away my child! Until now, there is no way to ask for help, my poor child, life and death are still uncertain! ”

Because of crying, Sa'er described it intermittently, but she roughly understood what happened. It's just that she can't figure out why Bai Lilan's memory has no idea where her sisters are? Also, what's the deal with competing for favor with the third sister?

"By the way, eldest sister, you are now the princess! Go and beg the prince to go to the prince and give me back my ringing!" ”

"Prince?" Bai Lilan frowned, "Why is this still related to the prince?" ”

"County Lord, in recent days, there have been frequent incidents of losing children in the capital. It is rumored by everyone that behind this incident is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used children as a guide in order to hunt brown bears. ”

Baili Lan narrowed her eyes and was silent. And her silence made Sa'er, who just thought that she had seized a glimmer of life, more and more unconfident.

"Eldest sister, that's also your nephew. You haven't met him yet, have you? He's very cute, he's just leaving, and you're going to like him when you see him. I beg you, save my ringing! ”

"Don't cry, no matter how much you cry, will your son come back!" I couldn't stand Sa'er's crying, Bai Lilan interrupted her coldly, and then said, "It's about the royal family, this matter is really difficult to do." But don't worry, since we all have the blood of the Baili family, I naturally won't let outsiders bully us, even if he is the crown prince, it won't work! ”

Sa'er blinked, feeling that the current eldest sister seemed to have changed a lot, and there was a world of difference from the previous Baili Lan, who only knew how to compete for favor and beauty. Because she was born to a concubine, she has known how to read people's faces since she was a child, and it is precisely because of this that only she can get close to Baililan. It's just that the current Baili Lan makes her unable to understand, there is no original bird-like breath at all, but powerful, like a queen!

"I heard you just mentioned your husband, where does he live now?"

"In, at another station at the city gate."

"Dongxue, tell them to leave immediately and find a remote place to hide from the limelight first. Sa'er will live here first, and when I go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow, I will discuss countermeasures. ”

Because she was frightened, Sa'er quickly fell asleep. Looking at her sleeping face, Baili Lan pursed her lips and left the room.

Looking at the full moon and frost, Baili Lan put her hands behind her back, and Qingling said, "Although the prince is stupid, he is not a violent and ruthless person, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple." ”

Qiu Xi, who was following Bai Lilan, was silent, and then asked, "Master, do you want to help the second young lady find the little master this time?" ”

"That's someone from my Baili family, why don't you get it back? Is it just because the other party is the crown prince that he can do whatever he wants? Hmph, joke, I've never been afraid of them! ”

got the expected answer, Qiu Xi smiled helplessly, thinking that this strong woman really took this hot potato. If someone else encounters such a thing, I'm afraid it's too late to hide, but she just rises to the challenge.

But it is this kind of contempt to the world that gives her a unique charm. also let the hatred gradually fall unconsciously.
