Chapter 17: Out of Danger
After dealing with himself briefly, Nangong Jingchen appeared in front of everyone again refreshed, and left the mansion with Baili Lan.
I don't know if it was a little louder just now, and all the people outside lowered their eyes, not daring to look at themselves and Nangong Jingchen. Bai Lilan looked sideways at the people around her, and asked in a small voice, "Do they think that I have no clothes on, so that's why I look like that?" ”
"Heh, you're about to become the princess of Lanling, can you speak less vulgarly? They are slaves, and they dare not look at their masters, what are you guilty of? If you were sincere, you shouldn't have screamed so loudly just now, and it would be difficult for others to listen to it. ”
Glancing at Nangong Jingchen, Bai Lilan said disdainfully, "It's normal for men and women to love each other, what are you afraid of, are you afraid of eating?" Too lazy to talk to the old antique, Baili Lan went out and got into the carriage.
I don't know where Shu Yiling found such a deserted place, and the carriage traveled for nearly an hour before returning to the capital. Stopping the carriage in front of the county lord's mansion, Bai Lilan suddenly thought of the pill she had eaten, so she reminded Nangong Jingchen, "You should have seen that pill when you eavesdropped, you acquiesced to me eating it, and you probably didn't want me to conceive your heir." This is exactly what I think, and I hope that it can still be like this in the future. ”
"It's not that I don't want you to conceive my child, it's just that now is not the time, and if the doctor diagnoses the time of your conception, but before we get married, it will damage your reputation." Nangong Jingchen put away the light joke, looked at Baili Lan seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will think about everything for you, you just need to wait to marry into Lanling with peace of mind and be the happiest bride in the world!" ”
Bai Lilan sneered and sneered, "Happiness? Hmph, isn't it because of that rumor that you married me? ”
"Rumors? What rumors? ”
Slanted at Nangong Jingchen, who looked confused, not as if he was pretending, Bai Lilan said indifferently, "Shu Yiling told me that the reason why he wants to get me by all means is because the old man of Tianji once prophesied, saying that I am the daughter of the Mandate of Heaven, and whoever marries me will be able to win the world." Although this prophecy is very, it can't help but be whimsical of stupid people. I don't care if you've heard this prophecy or not, I won't admit it, I'm Baililan, no matter what those bullshit prophecies say, it doesn't count on me! If I can really help people win the world, I also have the power to destroy the world! After speaking, Baili Lan jumped out of the carriage and entered the county lord's mansion without looking back, leaving Nangong Jingchen in the carriage and secretly contemplating.
Striding into the county lord's mansion, a little girl saw Bai Lilan, as if she saw a ghost, turned around and ran back with a shout, shouting, "The county lord is back, the county lord is back!" ”
It didn't take long for Baili Lan's maids to run out, and they saw Bai Li Lan standing here intact, smiling happily.
"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, the county lord is back! Autumn Frost, pinch me so I can make sure I'm not dreaming! ”
"Silly Xia Yu, the county lord is back, why are you still stupid, welcome the county lord in!"
Seeing the happy appearance of the maids, Bai Lilan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I seem to have only been away for less than two days, how can you look like you haven't seen me for ten years." ”
"It's not just ten years, it's a hundred years! You don't know, county lord, in the past two days that you have been missing, we have been going crazy, looking around for your news, but we have no clue. Lord Qiu was hesitant about this matter, as if there was something unspeakable, and on the side of Baixiangmen, a new deputy helmsman found out about you, and stopped the next move, saying that someone else was going to save you. You say how can we wait, it's torture! Xia Yu had an expression of being about to cry, talking about the tragic experiences of the past few days.
"Aren't I coming back now, alright, let's go into the house and talk about something." Bai Lilan didn't like this kind of sad scene, so she went into the house first, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
Not long ago, after intense exercise, Baili Lan did not enter a drop of water, and at this moment, the nectar was in his mouth, and he felt extremely sweet. Cup after cup, until the teapot was drunk, I let out a long sigh of relief.
Xia Yu kept tilting her head to look at Baili Lan until she drank the last drop of water before muttering, "It's strange, it's only been two days, but I always feel that the county lord has become different." ”
Bai Lilan felt that this statement was fresh, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then where do you think it has become different?" ”
"Hmm...... I can't say exactly where it is, but the county lord feels different. Although it is still the same cold, there is a hint of enchantment in the coldness. Yes, it's enchanting! ”
So the woman's words are used on herself, Bai Lilan just wanted to laugh out loud, and suddenly thought of the clouds and rain with Nangong Jingchen just now, and she understood why Xia Yu had such an insight. After cleaning her hands, Baili Lan picked up a piece of dim sum and said as she ate it, "Sometimes, your intuition is really accurate. If it weren't for the constant confusion, Gambit should be on par with Autumn Frost. ”
Hearing Bai Lilan's praise, Xia Yu immediately forgot his suspicion just now, and said with a smile, "Slave and maid, thank you for the county lord's appreciation!" ”
However, although Xia Yu forgot it, the other maids still remembered it. Chunfeng is still full of worries, and he feels that this incident is dangerous, and if he can't defend against it and prevent the possibility of it happening again in the future, it will be a great threat to Baililan.
"County Lord, who kidnapped you, is it really a dream of Yiling?"
Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that it was done by Su Yiling?" ”
"When you disappeared, we went to Baixiangmen to find the master of the Dugu Gate, but the master of the Dugu Gate didn't know where to find a man named Wuyan, and all the things were handed over to him, including the investigation of your disappearance. At first, the man was quite attentive and held a mobilization meeting, and all the brothers in the door were enthusiastic, vowing to rescue the herald. But after a day, the man's attitude changed, and he suspended all rescue activities, and refused to let us go to you, saying that it would cause trouble. How can the slaves and maids be calm, they naturally have to inquire through other channels, but those people in Baixiangmen are like ghosts, no matter where the slaves and maids go to investigate, they are all behind them, and they can't get rid of them! ”
After listening to the description of the spring breeze, Baili Lan narrowed her eyes and said playfully, "Shameless? It seems that he is also Nangong Jingchen's person. I'm going to meet him at Baixiangmen another day to see what he came from. ”
Xia Yu pursed his lips and said, "County Lord, the slave advises you not to go to see him, because he is wearing an iron mask and can't see anything. The whole person was also cold, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had been burned by fire tongs. Such a strange person doesn't know how the master of Dugu Sect found him that day. But speaking of which, Wuyan is also quite talented, the original Baixiangmen, which was scattered, has become orderly under his governance, and those bastards are also like chicken blood, obedient to Wuyan, and do things neatly, without the procrastination of the past. If you put aside everything else, there is a faceless Baixiangmen, which should be more brilliant than the period of the Dugu Gate. ”
After listening to Xia Yu's description, Bai Lilan became more interested in this person called Wuyan. I thought about dealing with the things at hand first, and then I would meet him.
"By the way, can the news of my disappearance be reported to the palace?"
"It shouldn't be at the moment, because Wuyan told us that it was best not to make a big deal about it, it wouldn't be good for the county lord. And gave us three days, saying that you would be back in three days. We are all ready, if you return home within three days, it is best to go home, if not, go to the palace to find the Queen Mother! ”
Tapping his fingers on the tabletop, Baili Lan muttered, "It's really troublesome to let the people in the palace know about this." ”
If more people know the prophecy of the old man Tianji, I am afraid that he will not stop his life. Who in the royal family of Bac Ninh does not covet that position? If Emperor Beining knew this news, with his temperament, even if this matter was false, he would never let himself marry the prince of Lanling, but would fall back into the hands of Su Yichen. So if you toss it for more than a year, won't it become a joke? Shu Yiling would not tell the news, he wished that he was the only one in this world who knew. And Nangong Jingchen is about to become his husband, whether he knows it or not, it's the same for him. Now the most likely person to know about this is Wuyan, and it seems that it is really necessary to meet him. But the most important thing now is to go to the palace. I don't know how many people heard the rumors, and I wanted to go to the palace to sweep away the rumors before they acted.
"Chunfeng, you go and make arrangements, I want to enter the palace tomorrow."
"Yes! The county lord still wants to enter the palace to meet the queen mother this time? ”
"No, this time when I enter the palace, I want to go to see the crown princess. The last time I saw her, I felt that she was not comfortable, so I entered the palace to enlighten her and gossip. ”
A few maids knew that according to Baililan's temperament, she would rather use a knife to cut people than be interested in gossiping with some women, and Baililan must have other purposes, so she had to find Ou Zhilan.
After receiving the order, Chunfeng turned around and went out to prepare for the report of entering the palace. And as soon as she turned around, she almost hit Qiu Ziyao, who had been standing behind her.
Bai Lilan also noticed her presence, so she beckoned to Qiu Ziyao and said, "Why do you have to stand in the corner all the time?" Come to my sister. ”
Qiu Ziyao walked to Bai Lilan's side in silence and heard their conversation. Big eyes looked at Baili Lan and asked innocently, "Sister, will you blame my brother?" ”
"Blame your brother? Why? ”
"Because...... My brother knows where you are, but he doesn't tell everyone. ”
Knowing such an answer, Baili Lan was not surprised at all.
As early as when she was still Princess Chen, she knew that Qiu Shichang had followed Su Yihao, and Su Yihao was a faction of Shu Yiling, so it was not surprising to know their actions. He always felt that he owed Baili Lan and always wanted to repay her, but because of the difference in identity and status, he could only choose to sit back and wait for death when he was in danger. He was also sad in his heart, and hated his powerlessness even more. But he didn't want to be unknown for a lifetime, and he didn't want to take refuge in Su Yichen, whom he hated, so he could only go sideways and take refuge in Su Yihao. What the future holds, Qiu Shichang doesn't know, he doesn't even know how to deal with the relationship between himself and Baili Lan. He was so contradictory that he didn't even have the face to appear in front of Baili Lan.
