Chapter 172 - framed
That’s right.
Now that he has reliance, Bai Chu plans to go and see what medicine Song Miaoyi sells in the gourd.
According to the time and place written on her note, Bai Chu secretly slipped out of the Taiji Palace, and the journey went smoothly.
In this way, Bai Chu believed even more what Zhou Baixuan said earlier that the emperor acquiesced to her to leave.
He couldn’t help but cursed “uncomfortably” in the bottom of his heart, asking her to leave without revealing it in front of her. If you had to use such a secret poking method, it was not something that the emperor’s drastic temperament could do.
While muttering, Bai Chu came to the meeting place with Song Miaoyi. When she arrived, Song Miaoyi was already waiting for her quietly under the moonlight.
Bai Chu smiled and said, “Tonight is His Majesty’s longevity festival, why is Song Concubine so interested in inviting me to watch the moon?”
Song Miaoyi is in the bottom of the city, and when she sees her, she can’t hide her pretty face mixed with jealousy and contempt: “It’s really you.”
With a hint of surprise on Bai Chu’s face, he smiled and said, “I thought Concubine Song came out with me to reminisce about the past.”
“Presumptuous!” The Song family raised Song Miaoyi according to Ah Lang’s temperament since childhood. In these days, they want to raise girls to be innocent and charming, but they can’t be too scheming so as not to be seen through by His Majesty at a glance, they can only rely on pet out.
Song Miaoyi grew up like the stars holding the moon since she was a child, and even though her brothers indulged and loved her, although it wasn’t to the extent of being arrogant, she thought that Bai Chu was a woman who had already said that it was better to be divorced. To put it uglier, it is an abandoned woman, and she can also win holy favor over her.
For Song Miaoyi, it was tantamount to humiliation.
“You are just a commoner woman of no grade. It is disrespectful to see me being rude, but you dare to speak to me like this, how bold!” Song Miaoyi shouted angrily.
Bai Chu smiled: “Since Concubine Song knows where to send a letter to ask me out, she should know what my courage is.”
Song Miaoyi’s eyes turned red with anger at her provocative words: “Bai Chuhua, if you are really sensible, you shouldn’t stay by His Majesty’s side! You used to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and your Majesty’s seniority is different. You know that if this is spread out, How much influence does it have on His Majesty’s holy name!”
“Concubine Song, you don’t need to say more about these nonsense.” Bai Chu didn’t move at all, looked at her with a smile, and his face was calm, “You only need to fulfill the promise written on the note.”
Song Miaoyi’s beautiful face was a bit hideous because of the raging jealousy, and she sneered: “You also know that it is impossible for Your Majesty to take a fancy to you for no reason? To tell you the truth, you are just lucky, and you are the same as His Majesty. The old love is somewhat similar, and it is only because of the grace of the Holy Spirit, do you think Your Majesty really likes you?”
Bai Chu frowned and met her sharp and mean eyes, subconsciously feeling a little uncomfortable, not because of what she said, but keenly feeling that Song Miaoyi was emotionally wrong.
I remember that when we first met, she was still a bit of a cautious girl. Even if she was jealous because she liked the emperor, it wouldn’t be to the level of madness, right?
She took a step back carefully, pretending to be surprised: “Where did Concubine Song hear this, I have some contacts with Your Majesty, but it’s not as you think, otherwise, at this moment I You already have a place in the harem, don’t you think? As long as your Majesty loves him, who wants to follow him without a name…”
These words entered Song Miaoyi’s heart. She was really moved by the emperor, so she felt that there was some truth in listening to her words. If she was favored by His Majesty, I wish everyone in the world knew that His Majesty liked her, how could they be willing to hide it? Hiding, but watching other women justifiably become His Majesty’s concubine, the scenery is infinite.
Song Miaoyi’s mind that was about to lose control finally burst out with a sense of reason, and looked at her suspiciously, “Is what you said true?”
“What is your relationship with Your Majesty!”
“I’m…” Bai Chu thought about it and found a safe way to say, “I work for Your Majesty.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Song Miaoyi sternly: “You’re lying!” She stepped forward angrily, as if she was going to arrest her in rage, but before Bai Chu could dodge back, a sharp crack suddenly struck. The sound of the air passed by, Song Miaoyi’s movements stopped abruptly, her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, her expression became stagnant, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Chu was startled, hurriedly dodged to the side, and when he walked to the side, only to find that Song Miaoyi had inserted a small and exquisite dagger into his back. Red bloodstains oozing out from the body.
Her eyes narrowed, she raised her eyes to look in the direction the dagger was coming from, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhou Boxuan, who was about to chase after him: “Let’s go.”
“But…” Zhou Baixuan hesitated subconsciously, someone who dared to assassinate in the deep palace must be a bad person. As a janitor, he has his own responsibility to arrest.
Bai Chu glared at him lightly: “If you didn’t leave quickly, believe it or not, we would be arrested soon.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there were several footsteps outside the door.
“Master? Are you there? The servant brought your cloak.”
Bai Chu quickly glanced around and found that the only few windows were locked, and if he wanted to go out, he had to go out through the gate.
She pursed her lips, dragged Zhou Baixuan to the back room without hesitation, hid behind the door, and whispered behind Zhou Baixuan’s ear, “Do you know how many people are outside?”
Zhou Baixuan was silent for a while, then affirmed: “There are about four people listening to the footsteps, but there may be other people hiding in ambush in the dark.”
He could see at this moment that this scene was specifically aimed at Bai Chu.
It is still one of the things to disclose her existence to the public, and the more important purpose is to be placed on the emperor.
Zhou Boxuan’s handsome face was cold and solemn, “I’ll protect you out later.”
“No, no,” Bai Chu calmed down. “When they come in, you will knock everyone out first, and then take Song Miaoyi with you.” Faint beads of sweat ooze out from her fair and jade-like skin, and the two of them are intimate. As they touched, the fragrance that belonged to her only became more intense. Zhou Boxuan’s black eyes fell straight on her face, as if he was infected by the gleaming light in her bright eyes. The pupils that had always been cold and quiet were now also shredded but scorching hot. ‘s light,
“Wrap her face with a cloak. They thought that the person you took away was me, so they would naturally try to stop you. It would be much easier for me to find an opportunity to escape.” Bai Chu held Zhou Baixuan’s arm tightly, “At most In a quarter of an hour, if you can’t get out by then, put Song Miaoyi down and go first, their goal is me and they won’t entangle you.”
“What about you?”
Bai Chu’s face was calm: “If you are caught with me, I will be finished, so no matter if I can escape first, you must take care of yourself first, otherwise who else will save me?”
Seeing Zhou Baixuan’s cold face, she kept silent, she couldn’t help but push him anxiously and lowered her voice: “Come on, it’s too late, don’t worry, even if my luck falls to King An, I will still treat him. Useful, he will not want my life.”
Zhou Baixuan looked at her deeply for a while, watching the sound of footsteps getting closer, the door was pushed gently, he hurriedly replied with a good word, the next moment he left suddenly, and attacked several palace maids and eunuchs who came in. dizzy on the ground.
Sure enough, when Zhou Boxuan left with Song Miaoyi wrapped in a cape, a few shadows suddenly flashed in the silent night, chasing after him closely.
Bai Chu wanted to run, but unexpectedly there were footsteps coming from the other direction, her heart sank, her eyes swept over the palace servants lying on the ground, and she grabbed a palace servant who was lying on Song Miaoyi just now Where she lay down, she slipped the cloak on her body on the way.
Fortunately, when she came out, she thought that the less conspicuous the better, she changed herself into a palace maid’s clothes, and then scrambled the bun that didn’t seem to be very compliant, and collapsed to the ground as if fainting.
As soon as she lay down, two people walked in across the threshold.
From Bai Chu’s point of view, he could only vaguely see the exquisitely embroidered skirt of the palace dress, and the scene of the red plum blossoms on the top of the branch was lifelike, moving slowly, as if there was a refreshing plum fragrance.
“Where’s the person?” The cold female voice said lightly.
The person who followed her looked down at the person lying on the ground, and as soon as she lifted her foot, she kicked Bai Chu, who was closest to her, awake.
Bai Chu pretended to have just woken up, sat up blankly, subconsciously rubbed her neck in pain, and her messy hair fell down, covering her face half-covered.
The person who kicked her knew that she was quite old by listening to her voice. It was estimated that it was an old lady in the palace. Seeing that she didn’t answer, she scolded her sharply: “Mute? Empress asked, why didn’t you answer?”
Bai Chu seemed to be half awake suddenly, knelt tremblingly on the ground, buried his head, and was frightened: “Slave, slave, I don’t know… I didn’t faint when I came in… I didn’t see anything…”
The aunt said displeased: “Useless things! People don’t know where they went?”
She could only reply timidly: “Before the slave and slave lost consciousness, it seemed that he saw someone running away quickly…”
Hearing this, Mammy didn’t think about her too much anymore, and turned to her master: “Niangniang, look, do you have to let people search around?”
The so-called empress who came with her was the concubine who secretly disclosed Bai Chu’s news to Song Miaoyi.
With a cold face, she looked down at “Song Miaoyi” who was lying on the ground, “No, there will be someone to worry about later, what’s the matter with this palace?”
“Go and see if anyone is dead.”
Bai Chu was startled, watching the mammy walking in the direction of “Song Miaoyi”, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be flustered, thinking that Concubine De’s words were instructed to her, trembling hands, she was about to try “Song Miaoyi”‘s breath .
Then his voice trembled even more with fear: “Death… Master she, she didn’t, didn’t…”
“Okay.” Concubine De frowned and looked at her coldly, “What are you afraid of, people will die sooner or later.”
She turned around gracefully, as if staying here for a second was disgusting, “Go back, His Majesty’s longevity banquet, this palace can’t get away for too long.”
“Yes.” Mammy bent down and respectfully helped Concubine De away, and when she walked past Bai Chu, she glared fiercely, “Wake up everyone on the ground, don’t forget what you did, if There is a little mistake, be careful of your parents’ lives!”
Bai Chu agreed fluently: “Yes, slave… I know.”
