Chapter 76, Bing Sijuan

"It is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you cannot live for your own sins."

Bai Qiurui looked at the two men who were struggling desperately, but in vain, and sighed.

Gu Yi shook his head, and his brisk tone broke the heavy atmosphere: "I don't blame others for my own suffering." ”

"Brother Shen, do you really want to help him hide it?"

Sui Hong watched the group disappear into the darkness, a little worried.

Bai Qiurui has the same worries as Sui Hong at the moment, Han Chengyu, the king of Ning, and Wei Yuanlong, the marquis of Zhenbei, these two people are just one of them, they are both important ministers of the imperial court, and their identities are noble.

Now that the two were killed at the same time, if they reported to the emperor in a letter like this, would it arouse suspicion.

Shen Yuan shook his head lightly when he heard this: "Two days ago, I went to the emperor, King Ning and the Marquis of Zhenbei, and it was because of that twist and turn that the emperor was placed under house arrest. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The two of them were already under the suspicion of the emperor, and now Meng Beihe intends to help them escape from house arrest, and they are already suspected of absconding in fear of crime. ”

"Assassinating Zhongliang, perverting the law for bribes, coupled with this fear of crime and absconding, presumably the emperor will not be lenient."

Bai Qiurui summed it up with only one sentence, the emperor is the most ruthless and suspicious.

Han Chengyu, the king of Ning, and Wei Yuanlong, the marquis of Zhenbei, were sentenced to death in this way.

There was silence for a moment, followed by a miserable cry from the depths of the backyard.

"Let's go back first, and I'll be busy later."

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, said a sentence lightly, and took the lead towards the gate.

At this point, it's basically over.

It's just that Bai Qiurui still doesn't understand one thing.

"If the several court officials who were killed by the ghost soldiers were all the people who participated in the trial of the Qinglong Army case back then, then who was the last woman to die?"

Leaving the gate of Ziyang Temple, Bai Qiurui followed Shen Yuan's side and opened her mouth with some curiosity.

"According to the dossier, the woman was arranged by Wei Yuanlong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, with the intention of using beauty to get close to General Meng."

Shen Yuan didn't elaborate on the specific and detailed situation, but Bai Qiurui could probably guess some of the situation.

When everyone returned to the carriage where Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong were riding, Gu Yi and Sui Hong suddenly said that they wanted to exchange with Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan and he originally came on horseback, but now Sui Hong and Gu Yi want to ride back, and the carriage that Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong originally made when they came will be replaced by Shen Yuan.

Bai Qiurui felt that this might not be good, and wanted to open her mouth to make Sui Hong feel wronged, but the other party spoke before her.

"Sister Qiurui, just pity me, I actually prefer to ride a horse, I have a sore back when I sit in this carriage."

Sui Hong dropped such a sentence, and before Bai Qiurui could answer, she took Gu Yi and left together.

"Lord Shen, I'll ask you to be a flower messenger, my sister and I are going home in a hurry, let's go first."

Bai Qiurui: Why don't you usually see you like the kind of person who rushes home......

Shen Yuan didn't stop it, and looked at the little woman in front of him, and her face softened: "Let's get in the car first." ”

The brother and sister walked fast, and they disappeared as soon as they slipped through the smoke.

Helpless, Bai Qiurui had no choice but to get into the carriage first.

The fair-skinned and slender fingertips lifted the sedan curtain, and Shen Yuan got into the carriage lightly.

With the sound of ruts rolling, the carriage began its way back.

The two people in the carriage were silent, and Bai Qiurui sat opposite Shen Yuan, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

She didn't know what to say for a while, and as she looked around, she suddenly spotted the food box in the corner.

Inside, it was a thank you gift to Shen Yuan......

In the morning, she was in a hurry to come out, so she took Sui Hong and the food box with her into the carriage.

It's okay now, I originally wanted to hand it over, but now I'm sending it directly face-to-face.

Shen Yuan, who was sitting in the carriage, was silent, staring at the air, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Qiurui saw that he didn't pay attention to himself, and finally couldn't help it, and quietly reached out and pulled the food box in the corner into his hand.

Little by little, little by little, and then a little more......

"Holding what?"

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded, Bai Qiurui's movements froze, and she hurriedly raised her head.

The man on the other side was already looking at him directly.

As Bai Qiurui raised her head, her movements were also exposed to Shen Yuan's eyes.

The man's gaze gradually shifted from her face to her hand.

has been seen, Bai Qiurui is no longer hiding, and reaches out to hold the food box on his lap.

She didn't hand the food box to Shen Yuan for the first time, but reached out to open a crack in the lid of the food box, and reached out to take out a piece of mung bean cake from it.

"Now, for you."

There was a light in the carriage, and Shen Yuan saw a piece of tender yellow snack by the light.

He immediately reached out to take it, but his eyes were fixed on the little woman opposite.

"The thank you gift for you, I wanted Sister Sui to hand it over, but I was in a hurry and brought it out together......"

Bai Qiurui stammered, and her face was a little hot.

She realized that what she said was a bit straightforward, as if she was in a hurry to find a lover.

Fortunately, the light of the carriage was not particularly bright, and the flush on her face was not seen by Shen Yuan.

The fragrance of mung bean cake wafts out in the hand, and the sweet taste is very appetizing.

Shen Yuan lowered his head and found that there seemed to be words on the pastry in his palm.

When you look closely, on the surface of the tender yellow mung bean cake, the word 'li' is written on it.

Such a playful idea, I'm afraid that only the little girl in front of him can come up with it, Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at...... It's a thank you gift, the word on it, what's the problem......"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth seriously, and she naturally found the man's eyes looking at the pastry.

"No problem, Rui'er's hands are so skillful."

Shen Yuan spoke softly, and after speaking, he picked up the mung bean cake and took a bite.

The sweet and soft mung bean cake has a sweet and silky fragrance. When you bite into it, the refreshing taste of the mung bean fills your mouth and melts softly.

The original irritable mood, because of such a bite of mung bean cake, has calmed down.

"How's it going, mung bean cake...... Is it good, is it delicious? ”

Bai Qiurui watched Shen Yuan eat quietly, and didn't say anything about the taste and taste, and was anxious for no reason.

Even she didn't realize that her originally calm and calm temperament was now alone with Shen Yuan, and it had long since ceased to exist.

Putting the last bite of mung bean cake in his hand into his mouth, Shen Yuan smiled and said, "The pastry you made is naturally delicious." ”

Straightforward compliment, Bai Qiurui was a little embarrassed, but her self-confidence was greatly satisfied.

Seeing that this way was gone, and there was his own home in front of him, Bai Qiurui lowered her eyes and glanced at the food box in her hand.

Give it to him before he gets out of the carriage, and give it to him now, in case he opens it and sees something, he will be embarrassed......

Bai Qiurui thought in a daze, her eyes caught a glimpse of the man opposite looking at the food box on her lap, she tried her best to pretend not to see it, and dragged it to the carriage.

The moment the carriage stopped, Bai Qiurui stuffed the food box in his hand into Shen Yuan's hand.

"Go back and open it again, and remember to write to me about the rest of the situation."

Bai Qiurui finished speaking quickly, didn't look at Shen Yuan, quickly stood up and slipped out.

Today's little woman is flexible and changeable, and at this moment she disembarks like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly jumps out of her field of vision.

Shen Yuan looked at the figure that disappeared from sight, and couldn't help but look down at the food box in his hand.

Do you open it when you get home......

"Click."

Shen Yuan admitted that he was indeed a little anxious, he had always had good self-control, but at this moment, he wanted to know very much what else was in the box besides the mung bean cake.

As the lid of the food box opened, a neat stack of mung bean cakes was placed inside.

Shen Yuan glanced at it intentionally, and the mung bean cake in the Quartet was spelled into a field character, and the words 'I, yes, ceremony, and thing' were written on it.

Inadvertently revealing a smile, Shen Yuan's dark eyes finally froze on the innermost, attached to the small box placed in the food box.

He paused briefly, then reached out and took the protruding and small wooden box in his hand.

The dark red wooden box is carved with delicate patterns, and there is a faint hint of woody fragrance.

Shen Yuan re-closed the lid of the mung bean cake in the food box, carefully placed it beside him, and finally opened the small box in his hand dexterously.

The moment the lid is opened, a touch of ice blue comes into view, the ultimate ice blue emerald color, not stained with dust.

Shen Yuan's eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand to unfold the ice silk juan.

I saw that the luster of the ice silk became more and more brilliant in the nightlight, and the small and delicate orchid in the lower left corner was the one that attracted his attention the most.

The orchid petals were as white as snow, and under the light of a lamp, they emitted a hazy glow, which was extraordinarily chic.

The corners of Shen Yuan's lips unconsciously hooked, and his slender fingertips rubbed the ice silk in his hand, the orchid that was whiter than snow, so that he couldn't help but want to hold it in his heart.

It turned out that it was because of this in the box......

Thinking of the little girl's abnormal behavior before, he seemed to vaguely see her reddened cheeks.

Thinking about it, Shen Yuan's expression at the moment was all on his face.

He folded Bing Sijuan and put it in his arms, leaned over and took another piece of mung bean cake from the food box next to him.

It's delicious......

The carriage went straight to the Criminal Mansion, and Bai Qiurui, who had already gotten off the carriage at this moment and slipped back to the Zhuzhi Courtyard in fear, was now in a dilemma.

"Lan'er, you are a slave and maid who is not small, I am the eldest lady in this mansion, why don't you get out of the way of me!"

Bai Qiurui hid outside the gate of the Bamboo Branch Courtyard, and heard Bai Yueyue's familiar and piercing cry from afar.

"Eldest Miss, the slave maid is the eldest maid next to the second miss, the second lady said that she is unwell and inconvenient to see you, and please don't embarrass the slave."

Lan'er opened her mouth neither humbly nor arrogantly, and she was quite a bit arrogant.

Bai Qiurui listened to it outside the courtyard gate, and she was almost crying with relief.

The only loyal little girl next to the original owner is good at everything, but she is too weak.

Now this posture was painstakingly adjusted by myself, and it finally has a bit of a look.

Last time, the street was not in vain.

Isn't this little girl much more imposing now, much better than before.

Just when Bai Qiurui was happy that the little girl had grown guts, she only heard Bai Yueyue in the courtyard speak angrily.

"What kind of thing are you, even if she Bai Qiurui is the princess of King Ning's mansion, she is still the daughter of this family."

Bai Yueyue's voice became louder and louder, as if she was deliberately trying to respond to Bai Qiurui: "My identity is humble, why don't I come out to see my sister-in-law soon!" ”

Lan'er saw Bai Yueyue belittle her young lady so much, and she suddenly became angry.

"Miss, our young lady is not feeling well, I'm afraid I can't see you now, please go back."

Lan'er suppressed her anger and looked at Bai Yueyue with unkind eyes.

It was the first time that she came out so desperately to stop Bai Yueyue today, and her own young lady explained that she was hiding it from the people in the house.

Even if she fights and collides with the eldest lady in the house, she must stop her.

Seeing that the confrontation between the two became more and more intense, Bai Qiurui was anxious and had nothing to do.

Just as he was thinking about how to get in, he heard Bai Yueyue suddenly change his words.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you today, so desperately stopping me from letting me in."

Bai Yueyue's cold words made Bai Qiurui outside the courtyard gate have a bad premonition when she heard it.

Sure enough, in the next second, I heard Bai Yueyue deliberately probing.

"Could it be that Bai Qiurui is not in the house, and she deliberately asked you to hide it for her?"

That's not good!

Bai Qiurui scolded secretly, and she didn't know where Bai Yueyue knew that she had sneaked out of the door.

She didn't think that her good sister, who longed for her to disappear from this world, would suddenly want to come and see her with compassion.

If she finds out that she is not at home, she doesn't know how to add fuel to her reputation and ruin her reputation.

"What is the eldest lady saying, the slave maid doesn't understand."

Fortunately, Lan'er is quite stable and doesn't show any stuffing.

And at this moment, a little girl suddenly walked from the end of the path in the bamboo branch courtyard.

Bai Qiurui raised her eyes and looked at it, and her face suddenly turned happy.

The girl here happens to be in her own yard.

Bai Qiurui quietly called the little girl to her side, and then quickly changed clothes with her, but the objects in the little girl's hands bowed her head and went into the yard.

In the small courtyard, Bai Yueyue stood in the courtyard with her toes high, and Lan'er stopped people five meters away from the inner room, never letting her approach.

At this moment, the two were facing each other, and no one paid attention to Bai Qiurui, a little maid.

She quietly pushed open the door to the inner room, and then quickly rushed to the closet to undress.

"I don't believe it yet, you can stop me today!"

As soon as Bai Qiurui took off the maid's clothes, she heard Bai Yueyue's voice pushing Lan'er.

The movement of her hands immediately sped up a little, and by the time she was about to put on her underwear, a footstep had already reached the door of the room.

"Squeak-"

Bai Yueyue gloated and pushed open the door, and before the smile on her lips could be taken back, she saw a delicate face.

"Is there something wrong with my sister?"

The smile on the corner of her mouth froze for a moment, and Bai Yueyue looked at Bai Qiurui with a shocked expression.

"You, you're not ......"

Bai Yueyue pointed at Bai Qiurui's nose and stammered to say something.

Fortunately, she learned smartly this time, and just as she was about to speak, she realized that the situation was wrong, so she closed her mouth in time.

What's going on, it is clear that the subordinate who was arranged by himself in the Zhuzhi Courtyard said that Bai Qiurui seemed to have secretly run out of the house and was not at home.

She just wanted to pierce Bai Qiurui's disguise, so that she could take the opportunity to pour dirty water on her.

Why is it that as soon as you open the door now, the other party is standing in front of you with sleepy eyes?!

"I was unwell, but when I heard my sister persistently wanting to see me outside the door, my sister had to force herself to be unwell and came to see my sister."

Bai Qiurui's words were not leaky, she looked at Bai Yueyue with a smile, and pretended to be puzzled.

"Now my sister is standing in front of my sister, if there is anything urgent, my sister will tell me now."

"I ......"

Bai Yueyue was speechless, her mouth was half open, and she couldn't think of what to say when she stuck her throat.

"Sister, did you forget what you wanted to say to your sister?"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth in a strange way, and then said: "Sister is not in a hurry, and think slowly." ”
