Chapter 23: Shameless at First Sight
Stretching out his hand to stop He Che, who was about to get angry again, Nangong Jingchen's face turned a little pale, barely maintained a smile, and said gloomily, "It turned out to be ...... That's right. It seems that I am not good enough to make you tempted. Lan'er, I'll keep working hard and try to make you fall in love with me! After speaking, Nangong Jingchen clutched his chest, coughed uncontrollably, couldn't even raise his head, frowned, and asked He Che to push himself away.
On the way home, several maids were silent until Xia Yu couldn't help it, and regardless of the small movements of the spring breeze around her, she asked with a puzzled face, "County Lord, why do you want to play the prince of Lanling?" The slave and maid see that he is not a great evil person, and he is also very good to you, marry him and get along with him, and you can live happily in the future. Offending that man is really bad for the county lord, and the slave and maid can't think of the real reason why you are playing with the prince. ”
Opening her eyes slightly, Bai Lilan stretched out a little sleepily, and said lazily, "I approached him with a purpose, and I was tempted by him, didn't I kill myself?" But he was so stupid, knowing that it was a joke, he beckoned to himself, in order to make me blame myself and then accept his love. It's a pity that I am Baililan, not a woman who is blind for love, and his bitter tricks are destined to kick the iron plate. It's up to him to toss, and when he gets tired, he will naturally give up. ”
His lips moved, Xia Yu wanted to say something, and endured it again.
"Just say whatever you want, it's not your style to twist and pinch."
His eyes didn't dare to look at Baili Lan, Xia Yu muttered softly, "It's nothing, the slave just thinks that the son of Lanling is a little pitiful." ”
"Pathetic? Hmph, it's just that you can't get the woman you want, it's pitiful? In that world, the pain of losing loved ones, the sorrow of homelessness, and the pain of being betrayed by others are not pitiful? I didn't know your kindness was overflowing to this point. ”
Xia Yu naturally couldn't say anything about Baili Lan, and he knew what kind of temper his master was, so he closed his lips tightly at the moment, not daring to say a word.
On the other side of the palace gate, Nangong Jingchen, who had just entered the carriage, seemed to have been drained of the last strength in his body, and the whole person leaned weakly on the wall of the carriage, looking pale and panting.
He Che felt sorry for Nangong Jingchen, and hurriedly took out a black pill and stuffed it into Nangong Jingchen's mouth. After a while, Nangong Jingchen's complexion gradually returned to normal, and his voice was not trembling.
Pinching the porcelain vase, He Che looked conflicted, and said in a low voice, "Shizi, Dr. Lu said that eating too much of this anesthetic is not good for your body, let's go back to Lanling and soak in the living spring water of Qianling, it will definitely help your injury." ”
"No, it's not the time to go back." Feeling a little stuffy in his chest, Nangong Jingchen tore open his shirt, dipped his fingers in some potion and smeared it on his fair skin, but after a moment's effort, there was a crack in the skin, and he continued to knead it in that direction, and after a while, the whole piece of artificial skin was peeled off, revealing the original flesh and blood inside.
Because he had just taken the medicine, Nangong Jingchen did not feel the pain of eroding bones. However, the effect of the medicine is limited, Nangong Jingchen must return to the mansion before the effect of the medicine disappears, and Dr. Lu will retreat the wound, otherwise it is very easy to cause re-infection and endanger his life.
Looking at Nangong Jingchen's abnormal complexion, He Che was both distressed and resentful, clenched his fists and said, "Shizi, what about how you are treating that woman, she still thinks you have a purpose. It's not worth it for her! There are many good women in the world, you don't have to make yourself so embarrassed just for her! You are the son of Lanling!! ”
Leaning lightly against the wall of the car, Nangong Jingchen didn't speak, he just closed his eyes a little tiredly. The long eyelashes remained motionless, as if they were asleep. He Che couldn't bear it, quietly covered his body with the blanket, turned out of the carriage, and drove smoothly.
meanwhile
In the gloomy room, a man dressed in black had a gloomy face.
After hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he slowly turned around, stared at the trembling middle-aged man in front of him, and asked viciously, "Didn't you say that Nangong Jingchen was almost stabbed to death, why can he still enter the palace today to try on clothes!" Baili Qingfeng, are you a fool you can fool casually when this palace is the palace! ”
Baili Qingfeng shrank tightly, his face was as white as paper, and he said tremblingly, "This ...... I don't know! At that time, there were obviously secret guards following behind them, and when they saw Nangong Jingchen stabbing himself, he almost died, even if he gave the grass people ten guts, the grass people would not dare to make up such a lie to deceive the prince! ”
At this moment, Su Yichen was furious, and he couldn't listen to Baili Qingfeng's justification, pacing back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself, "I'll just say, Nangong Jingchen is he a fool, how could he stab himself in a good manner, now that I think about it, it must be a lie made up by you!" You even dare to deceive this palace, it seems that if you don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know that the sky is high! Come on! ”
Baili Qingfeng raised his head suddenly, crawled to Su Yichen's feet in horror, and shouted miserably, "The prince's subordinates are merciful, everything the grass people say is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask the secret guard that day, he can testify for the grass people!" ”
Shu Yichen impatiently kicked away the hundred miles of Qingfeng, and said angrily with red eyes, "Do you dare to continue to make up lies until now!" Come on, people, drag this man out and break his legs! Let's see who will dare to deceive this palace in the future! ”
As soon as the words fell, two late guards walked in from outside the door, and took the hundred miles of breeze away without saying anything. And Baili Qingfeng struggled while continuing to beg for Su Yichen. But looking at Shu Yichen's cold back, he knew that today was destined to be his own disaster!
***
The closer the divorce period is, the more annoying trivial things will be, Baili Lan is too lazy to deal with them one by one, so she handed over the wedding to Qiushuang to deal with, and she really can't shirk it.
On this day, the palace sent a grandmother to review the wedding appearance, and first designed the perfect shape for Baililan, with gorgeous clothes and jewelry, to see the overall effect.
This grooming is the most tedious, and it often takes a day to prepare everything. Asking Baili Lan to sit honestly for a whole day was enough to make her crazy, so Bai Lilan thought of an excuse to excuse her body from being unpleasant, and asked Qiu Shuang, who was about the same size as herself, to try it on.
Mama had never heard of such a precedent, and wanted to go in to persuade the county lord, but was stopped by Dong Xue, and said coldly, "It's all said, my county lord is not feeling well, and you still want to go in and disturb!?" ”
"This ...... The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare! "If it was a weekday, Mama would have rushed in to teach a lesson in a domineering manner, but the person in front of her is a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, and the maids around her are all looking like they are not easy to mess with, so there is no way to endure it, and when she returns to the palace, she will report the situation to the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the grandmother had compromised, Baili Lan took the three maids out of the county lord's mansion from another door and went straight to the helm of Baixiangmen.
It turned out that Bai Lilan planned to meet the deputy helmsman of Baixiangmen for a while, but he was shameless. In any case, she is the nominal herald of Baixiangmen, and Baixiangmen is about to change hands, and she always wants to see her. And what Baili Lan is most concerned about is whether Wuyan will change the cooperative relationship between himself and Baixiangmen.
Before entering the main rudder, Baili Lan found that this place was different from the original: the door was renovated, the guards guarding it were in good spirits, and the soldiers who patrolled back and forth were attentive. If he hadn't known that this mysterious place was Baixiangmen, Baili Lan would have mistakenly thought that he had gone to a military secret bureau somewhere. Seeing such a scene, Bai Lilan became even more curious about Wuyan.
The guards saw the token that Dongxue took out, and hurriedly opened the gate for the crowd to let them go. thought that after entering the gate, a few people would be able to go directly to the council hall and wait for a faceless reception. But after entering the gate, the woods inside are vertical and horizontal, deep and shallow, and if you are not careful, you will turn back.
Looking at the verdant eyes, Xia Yu couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "Tsk, it's only been a few days, it's changed here again, it's like a labyrinth, what kind of shape does Wuyan want to build Baixiangmen?" ”
Silently following behind the leader, Baili Lan counted the number of steps, and found that the layout of this forest was actually according to the Bagua Array, which seemed simple, and there were Qiankun in it, if it was a trespasser, I was afraid that he would be trapped in this forest alive.
"Herald, there's the council chamber ahead, please be there later."
Following the direction pointed by the leader, Bai Lilan saw the council hall, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, secretly saying that thing can be called a palace, and it has become a council hall, this deputy helmsman is really modest.
Walking straight into the conference hall, Baili Lan found that the decoration style inside was also new, and it was much more tasteful than the original. Names, paintings, pianos, antiques, and cigarette smoke show that the owner of this place is a gentleman who loves emotions. This is completely different from Dugu Jiuhe's big old man.
Sitting on the nine-spice sandalwood chair, Baili Lan sipped fragrant tea, listening to the gurgling water outside the door, but felt that life here was also very comfortable. After drinking a cup of tea, Bai Lilan put the teacup on the coffee table, and the force was slightly greater, making a "click" sound. At the same time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile, "Since you are here, why does the deputy helmsman hide in the dark and refuse to show up?" ”
Among the several maids, Dong Xue, who had the highest martial arts cultivation, was also shocked, because she didn't hear any wind and grass, and she didn't understand why the county lord would say this.
After less than a moment, everyone heard a steady footstep, and when they turned around, they saw that the person who had come was faceless. Slowly walked to the top, and the voiceless and hoarse voice was creepy. The cold mask reflects the cold light.
"I've long heard that the herald is unusually intelligent, and when I saw it today, it was true."
Meimu looked faceless, Baili Lan raised her chin slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The rumors are not true, they are not true." But it was the courage of the co-helmsman that I admired. What the previous Baixiangmen was like, needless to say, you and I both know it. The development of Baixiangmen to this point is not unrelated to the drastic reform of the deputy helmsman. ”
