Chapter 21: The Carriage Crisis

"You're back?"

Du Mingjue, who was reading the official document in the study, raised his eyes to look at her, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Bai Luo stood beside him grinding, but what he was thinking about was tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet.

She had to convince Du Mingjue to do it, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to go out alone.

Although Du Mingjue didn't restrict her movements much, she still felt that she couldn't go in her heart, and it was better to say hello than to sneak away without saying hello.

"That...... I've got something to tell you tomorrow. ”

Bai Luo was a little embarrassed, because Du Mingjue wasn't listening to him at all, he was only working hard, it should be that there were too many twists and turns in the past few days, and he had to get through it.

It's hard work, and it's been so tossed these days.

Thinking of those pictures, Bai Luo's face turned red.

"Well, what did you just say?"

After a while, when he looked up again after finishing the recital, he saw that Bai Luo was still helping him with ink.

Bai Luo didn't hide it, "I want to go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet tomorrow." ”

"It's the Ninth Princess who wants me to accompany her."

After Bai Luo finished speaking, he glanced at Du Mingjue's face, and after finding that there was no unhappiness in his expression, he continued, "Ninth Princess, she wants to choose a horse at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she wants me to help as a reference. ”

Du Mingjue thought for a while, "Soon after you got along, she called you to accompany her, it's really a good relationship." ”

It was obviously a joking tone, but Bai Luo didn't hear it in his ears, "You also said that I haven't been with her for long, and she invited me purely because of your light, if you don't agree, I'll just fix the book and explain it to her." ”

Bai Luo put down the ink strip in his hand and turned around to leave.

But who knew that in the next second, Bai Luo exclaimed, and instantly put a long arm on his waist and pressed it directly.

I don't know when the white hairpin fell to the ground, and a hip-length waterfall of long hair suddenly poured down, because of the excessive movement of the party, her collar also opened a lot, revealing a bit of delicate and moving spring light.

"Du Mingjue, what are you going to do?"

Bai Luo wanted to get up from him, but as soon as he stood up straight, he was pressed into his arms again.

"You don't want to be like a hungry wolf every time."

Bai Luo resisted his aggression with his hand, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Du Mingjue only rubbed her waist, and after feeling the delicate and smooth touch in his hand, the corners of his mouth brought a satisfied smile.

"Du Mingjue, I'm talking to you, why don't you answer me!"

Bai Luo felt that so many days were purely a process of raising a wolf, and if you didn't restrict him and let him do whatever he wanted, it would be terrible.

So this time, she was determined not to let him succeed.

"My husband hears it."

Du Mingjue wanted to kiss Bai Luo's forehead, but she refused.

"No, you're the regent, you can't indulge in women."

Du Mingjue looked at Bai Luo with some surprise, he didn't think that the word "indulging in women" would appear in her mouth, shouldn't these be the words of those pedantic ministers in the court.

"Luo'er, is this disgusted with being a husband?"

Du Mingjue's appearance was already good, and his temperament was also gentle and elegant, but now he looked at Bai Luo with a pitiful look, which made Bai Luo's words of refusal ready to be full of words instantly unable to speak.

"No, it's just that you should put more thought into the court at the moment, I don't dare to bear the infamy of being a bad face."

Bai Luo took advantage of his inattention and immediately quickly closed the loose collar, covering it tightly, not daring to let Du Mingjue see half a point.

Du Mingjue couldn't help but laugh when he saw her so guarded.

"You can agree to the Hundred Flowers Banquet for your husband, but you have to promise your husband that you are not allowed to talk to other men, you know?"

Bai Luo nodded, "I know, I know, I'm married to a woman now, and men will know when they look at my bun, who will come up and talk to me so boring." ”

"Is this a reminder for you, what if there are really some people who don't have long eyes."

Bai Luo held his face and said calmly, "If that's the case, then it proves that your name as His Royal Highness the Lord Regent is not enough to deter them." ”

Du Mingjue squinted, "Really?" ”

Bai Luo was shocked when he saw him like this, and immediately wanted to run away, but Du Mingjue just didn't let him go.

"Ah, Du Mingjue, don't!"

——

The next day.

A horse-drawn carriage ran on the official road, the sound of the car sliding like rain over the crystal clear blue and white masonry, and the scorching sun and ticking wheels reflected in some puddles.

The carriage was framed on all sides of fine pear wood, and the gold-inlaid windows were obscured by a curtain of blue crepe, making it impossible to know the magnificence inside.

At this time, sitting inside were Bai Luo, who was about to enter the palace to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and her maid Qinghua.

Qingbei lifted the curtain and glanced out, then turned back and told Bai Luo, "Madam, I'll be here soon." ”

Bai Luo nodded, didn't say anything, she was a little uncomfortable at the moment, thinking of Du Mingjue yesterday, she was irritable in her heart, she obviously said that she was going to resist, how could she succeed him.

The carriage suddenly made a rapid sloshing sound, and Bai Luo and Qing Bottle rushed forward unprepared.

Qinghua smashed her forehead and screamed, Bai Luo was not much better, she was knocked down by Qinghua's elbow in the stomach, and her face turned white in pain.

"What's going on?"

Bai Luo shouted out.

"Madame...... Someone is in the way. ”

"It's an assassin."

Bai Luo opened the curtain and his eyes widened.

"Damn."

The leader of the Assassins waved his hand, and the scattered people rushed forward.

"Madam, you run, I'll come to the back."

Bai Luo was pushed by the green bottle, and a steel knife was waved down in an instant, Bai Luo didn't care so much, and the person immediately rolled to the ground.

She bit her lip and got up, and when she looked back, she was about to faint.

The steel knife had already pierced the heart of the green bottle, and she was spitting blood, but even then she had to let Bai Luo go, "Madam...... Come on. ”

The sudden feeling of guilt made her unable to avoid it, and she staggered to her feet and ran back like crazy.

Du Mingjue...... Du Mingjue, come quickly, help!

But the truth did not allow her to call someone, and Bai Luo, who had not run a few steps, was finally caught by the assassin, who strangled her by the neck and lifted her up.

The feeling of suffocation made her eyes wide, but she couldn't say a word.

"Save ......"

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at the Assassin pleadingly, the last words she said before she died, "You wait...... The old lady is back to kill you! ”

Beneath the mask, those deep, dead eyes moved.

This woman is really brainless.

……

Bai Luo covered his neck and opened his eyes.

"Ma'am, I'll be there soon."

The moment Bai Luo opened his eyes and saw the green bottle, his heart was extremely complicated.

Bai Luo grabbed the hand of the green bottle, signaled him with his index not to make a sound, and then quickly pushed towards the small door in the back.

She guessed that this coachman was also one of the Assassins.

She thought that she would never be planted in the hands of that dead man again, it really fucking hurt for him to pinch someone.

The carriage was still moving smoothly, but Bai Luo and Qinghua had already jumped out of the car.

In order not to be discovered, Bai Luo immediately blended into the crowd, bought two curtain fences out of his own pocket, and gave one to the green bottle to wear for himself.

Before, they were attacked by assassins when the carriage drove to a sparsely populated place, but now that they have dismounted from the carriage in advance, it should not be so easy to die again.

Bai Luo took the green bottle into a ready-to-wear store again, changed the clothes on his body, and went to the stall next door to buy a few boxes of inferior incense powder and rouge.

I took it back and tinkered with it for a long time, and finally turned my face into a look that I didn't even know my own mother and walked out.

Qingbei was stunned, and said inarticulately, "Madam...... What are you doing here? ”

"You go back first, go to the prince, and say that we met an assassin on the way to the palace."

Qinghua was puzzled, but still asked Bai Luo with concern, "What about you, madam, are you going to the palace alone?" ”

Bai Luo nodded, "After all, you must protect yourself if you promise someone else's bad remorse, remember that you can't take off the curtain fence before you go home, and when you see the prince, ask him to come and pick me up early?" ”

Qinghua nodded, "Okay, then you must be careful, lady." ”

"Well, don't worry, I don't believe that your wife can still see me like this."

……

Bai Luo, who came out, really crossed the street unimpeded, and walked into the official road before she died.

The road in front of you leads straight to the magnificent palace.

There are only a few courtyards on the side of the road, or it looks like a gate house with a higher official rank, but looking at the gate that it smells of disrepair, you know that there should be no one living here for a long time.

Bai Luo walked quietly on the road alone, still a little scared in her heart, she glanced behind her with her spare eyes, for fear that the killer who strangled him would suddenly run out again.

The hanging heart had already reached his throat, and Bai Luo pursed his lips and walked nervously on the road.

"Hello."

Bai Luo was taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back to look back at the person who called her.

It's okay not to look at it, but it's scary to death, isn't it the man who strangled her in front of her.

Bai Luo sat on the ground, his eyes filled with tears of horror, "You...... What are you doing. ”

The man seemed to be very suspicious of her, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know Bailuo?" ”

"I don't know."

Bai Luo replied very simply, for fear that he would hesitate for a second and be seen by him.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Bai Luo tilted her head, she was afraid of making her hard-working special effects makeup, so she held back her tears and looked at him with a smile, "Oh, I thought you were ...... What are you going to do to me? ”

The man frowned, the woman in front of him was not amazing, and it could even be said that she was very ugly, not at all what she should look like in the intelligence.

Since it wasn't Bailuo, where did the real Bailuo go, his people obviously told him to take Bailuo and her maid into the carriage, but they disappeared halfway.

The man was in no mood to look at her, so he waved his hand and let her go.

He thought she was just a maid in the palace.

Bai Luo hurriedly got up and ran towards the palace.

She ran as fast as she could, as if some monster was chasing her behind her.
