Chapter 161 - secret
According to the ancients, things on King An’s side shouldn’t spread so quickly.
Most of the news in Shen Yuzhi’s hands was probably from the Fourth Prince.
Since there is still news, it means that at least Pei Qian’s situation is not critical.
Bai Chu frowned and asked, “Can you say someone was injured?”
“His Royal Highness suffered some injuries, but it did not endanger his life, Prince An,” Lan Chuan paused, “President An is missing.”
“Missing?” Bai Chu said in astonishment, “Are you sure? King An is missing, what about the people around him?”
“This… The third young master didn’t talk about it with Lan Chuan.”
“Forget it,” Bai Chu shook his head and laughed, “Why am I going to get involved with their sword, light, sword, shadow and shadow matters. The third brother will talk about it later, and you don’t have to tell me any more.”
“Yes.” Lan Chuan responded, and then said again, “Madam, the third young master said that he would like to see you again.”
“What do you see me doing?” Bai Chu said lazily, “You just say that I am inconvenient recently.”
At this moment, she is not staring at many pairs of eyes, and since Pei Qian is not in the capital, it is Shen Yuzhi’s palace, so let him be less involved in troubles.
Lan Chuan suddenly fell silent, and when Bai Chu felt the strange atmosphere and wanted to look up, he heard him in a low voice: “Madam, do you need to tell the third young master about the second young master?”
Bai Chu moved his hand for a while, raised his eyes and looked over quietly: “No need.”
Lan Chuan’s eyes flashed, and his black and white pupils stared at her, as if he wanted to see the voice in her heart: “Is the person that Madam looks at, the second young master?”
Bai Chu smiled: “Lanchuan, why did you suddenly ask this?”
Lan Chuan said slowly: “If Madam wants, Lan Chuan will let you do whatever you want.” The thick black in his eyes showed extreme purity, Bai Chu’s eyes were flowing, and his eyebrows gradually revealed a soft smile. He raised his eyebrows: “Then if I say I like Shen Yuezhi, how will Lan Chuan help me?”
Lan Chuan quickly lowered his eyes, covering up the emotions that burst out of his eyes, and his voice was somewhat dry: “As long as it is your expectation, I will fulfill it for you.”
Bai Chu suddenly became a little confused, and asked softly, “Lanchuan, don’t you like me?”
Lan Chuan did not expect that she would suddenly ask such a question, her pupils dilated, she trembled in a panic, and then hurriedly lowered her head, “I, I…” He opened his mouth but was speechless.
This appearance is no different from admitting it.
Bai Chu sat up slowly from the soft couch, and looked at him softly: “Since you like me, why do you want to help me?”
Lan Chuan only felt that the sparks from the bottom of her heart were about to burn to the top of her head, her thoughts were in chaos, her heart was full of eyes and her head was filled with the picture of her now looking at herself with clear eyes. The light in her eyes was stronger than that of Mid-Autumn Festival fifteen The moonlight is also soft and beautiful.
He froze in place, almost instinctively, and whispered: “Because, because you like it.”
After that, even he didn’t know what he just said.
Bai Chu doesn’t understand more and more, she has never seen anyone who can push her beloved to someone else. Such love either exists in an illusory world such as movies, or it is not deep enough.
But Lan Chuan’s temperament is clearest to her.
She could feel his deep and sincere love that was painstakingly repressed. In his heart, the only thing he could compare with himself was his swordsmanship.
Bai Chu blinked, stood up slowly, and walked gently in front of him, step by step.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, his slender fingers as white as jade wanted to reach for the sword hanging on his waist, but before he could touch the handle of the sword, Lan Chuan grabbed his hand.
The blushing on his face couldn’t be suppressed completely, so he quickly let go of her, took a step back, and said, “Madam, you, you hurt your hand carefully.”
Bai Chu smiled nonchalantly, and put his hands behind his back with kindness: “When did you start practicing swordsmanship?”
“I don’t remember.” Lan Chuan looked down at the sword on his waist, with a soft light in his eyes, “As long as I can remember, I have started practicing the sword.”
She nodded and said with a chuckle, “That’s great.”
Lan Chuan was not good at words, and it was more difficult for him to tell some interesting stories about his childhood when he practiced swordsmanship, so Bai Chu asked him to casually dance swordsmanship to open her eyes.
She took him to the yard, and let Shuangxi bring a pot of tea with great interest. She tilted her head and watched him dance the sword. Occasionally, the lingering sword wind swept towards her, and the moment was breath-taking. Fear can also make her feel interesting later.
…
He was so focused and relaxed for a few days. Except for the letter from Bai Yinhua who sneaked in to accuse and accuse her, Bai Chu paid no attention to what was going on outside, with the cooperation of Lan Chuan and the protection of Shen Yong’s staff outside Zhuangzi. , She seems to be living in a real paradise, between heaven and earth, no worries or worries.
Probably because she was too indulgent, even the sound of fighting suddenly sounded in her ear, it took her a long time to react.
“Lanchuan!” she called out loudly, “what’s going on outside?”
Lan Chuan came in and replied, “Madam, it was the young master Wang who came and said he wanted to see you, but was stopped outside Zhuangzi.”
“Because the second young master didn’t allow it, the first young master Wang gave an order, and the two groups started fighting.”
“It’s Lanchuan’s negligence to disturb your rest.” He cupped his hands and clasped his fists, “Don’t worry, I’ll drive everyone away right now.”
“Wait a minute,” Bai Chu rubbed his eyebrows worriedly, “Wang Xiu is here to watch the fun, don’t worry about him, if you don’t let him be happy, it will happen every day in the future. kill you.”
Lan Chuan just frowned secretly because of the familiarity in her words. Hearing her talk about going out to see him again, he didn’t care what to think, so he hurriedly persuaded: “Madam, it’s dangerous.”
Bai Chu thinks about it too. She was bored on Zhuangzi, so she only wore a coat and didn’t even comb her hair to make it comfortable. It’s fine to see her own family. If she met Wang Xiuze, if she described it as not neat, she could Laughed at him forever.
“That’s fine, you tell him to go to the main hall first, and I’ll come later.”
“Yes.”
When Wang Xiu saw Bai Chu again, he really took a good look at her first, his brows wrinkled, and there was a bit of hesitation on his cold and handsome face: “You seem to be… fat?”
?
Bai Chumo remained silent, glanced at the vase next to him, and secretly estimated the possibility of smashing people to death.
“Long time no see, Young Master Wang is still as funny.” She casually exchanged a few words without any sincerity, and without being polite to him, she went straight to the first place above and sat down, “Your honored guest, what’s so good about this? Do you want to bring me the news?”
Wang Xiu couldn’t hear the unwelcome in her words.
His brows eased, the indifference on his face receded, and he turned to show a bit of grievance: “I went through many difficulties and obstacles outside in order to see you, so Madam Bai doesn’t care about my thoughts?”
“I officially feel sorry for you, so I hope that you will make your intentions clear as soon as possible.” Bai Chu smiled decently, looking forward to Shenghui, “If I’m impatient with waiting, let someone send you out, it will be a lot of hardships and obstacles. How can I be so embarrassed if you try again.”
Having said that, the look on his face is about to move, but there is no guilt and regret.
“Okay,” Wang Xiu surrendered helplessly, looking at her with a bit of indescribable grief in his eyes, “Mrs. Bai is as hard-hearted as iron, I’ve seen it.”
“So, I came here today to tell you a secret about you. In return, I need you to answer me a question first.”
Bai Chu smiled casually and said, “Secrets are the most charming when they are placed in people’s hearts.” She Shi Shiran got up, “Young Master Wang is good to go, I won’t give you away.”
“Hey,” Seeing that she was really planning to leave like this, Wang Xiu stopped her with a loud voice, “You don’t want to know about Shen Yuezhi?”
Bai Chu stopped unconsciously, turned around to look, and met Wang Xiu’s meaningful gaze, “It really is him.”
“The group of people guarding outside your Zhuangzi were sent by Shen Yongzhi, right?”
Bai Chuming’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Yes or no, is it important to Prince Wang?”
Wang Xiu was obviously not going to take the bait at this eye-for-an-eye test. The corners of his lips raised, he also stood up, and walked towards her slowly, standing about half a meter away from her, his upper body leaning slightly. , lower your voice,
“Then I’ll take it as you say ‘yes’.”
Before Bai Chu could answer, he paced around her leisurely, while cruising around her with curious and interesting eyes, jokingly said, “Madam Bai, the person who can make Shen Yongzhi helpless, you are the one I have seen. First.”
The smile on Bai Chu’s face remained unchanged: “The question Wang Gongzi wants to know should have been answered, so what’s the secret you said?”
“No hurry,” Wang Xiu politely turned sideways, “I was abrupt just now, you should sit down and listen first.”
His attitude was sincere now.
Bai Chu knew that when he suddenly mentioned Shen Yuezhi just now, he was trying to slap her on purpose, “The so-called secret you said actually has nothing to do with Shen Yuezhi, right?”
Wang Xiu sighed: “I’m afraid I can’t even count the secrets of Shen Yongzhi, but I want to know one or two… No,” he looked at Bai Chu and smiled, “I have already caught one of his secrets. .”
Bai Chu became a little impatient: “Since that’s the case, you should ask Shen Yongzhi a question, and why did you come to see me again?”
“Mrs. Bai, don’t worry,” Wang Xiu’s voice was soft and light, with a hint of comfort, “Although this matter I am going to talk about has nothing to do with Shen Yongzhi, it involves another person who is also not related to you. Shallow.”
“Who?”
“Zhou Baixuan.”
Bai Chu raised his eyes suddenly and asked in doubt, “Zhou Boxuan? What happened to him?”
“Ah?” Wang Xiu said innocently, “Don’t Madam Bai know? This commander Zhou is looking for you all over the capital?”
Bai Chu put away the surprise on his face, and looked at him calmly, “I’ve met Commander Zhou, yes, I haven’t told him this time when I left Beijing, he is worried about my safety and will find him I’m not surprised either.”
She lowered her eyes and said softly, “If the prince takes such a secret to perfunctory me, I will be angry.”
Wang Xiu looked at her with interest, but did not refute, “Then according to what Madam Bai wanted, how should I make amends?”
“Since it’s a secret,” she said with a bright smile on her lips, “Why don’t you tell me your own secret as an apology, okay?”
