Chapter 162

Bai Xian just joined the Shao family at the emperor's request to attend the celebration banquet specially held by the emperor for Shao Yue's repulsion of Wan army. She sat next to Du Wangshu, the Shao family's wife. Many ladies were guessing her identity, but Du Wangshu blocked her all by saying she was a distant niece.

Because of the note from the palace maid, Bai Xian walked behind the rockery in the imperial garden. Who expected that the note was blank after it was opened. She was uneasy. Who deliberately used the note to lead her away from the palace banquet.

Bai Xian was about to get out of the rockery when she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself lying in an empty palace with long curtains. She couldn't see anything clearly.

Looking down, Bai Xian immediately stood up and ran towards the door of the hall. However, no matter how hard she pushed and pulled the door of the room, the door remained motionless. Bai Xian didn't dare to shout for fear that the person who knocked her out was outside.

Depressed Bai Xian sat down against the door. The emperor wouldn't have done this. The ninth five year old didn't have to tease her like this. If he wanted Bai Xian's life, as long as he moved his mouth, someone would naturally offer his head.

The Emperor didn't do it. Who would do it? Bai Xian thought hard. Tonight was her second time in the palace. She didn't know anyone. She had a flash of light. Except that the emperor knew her, she was Princess Shuya. I think this childish thing must have been done by the jealous Princess Shuya.

Bai Xian smiled bitterly. She and Shaoyue were clearly not that kind of relationship. How could Princess Shuya treat herself as an imaginary enemy? Now she can only pray that Du Wangshu will find herself missing and save herself as soon as possible.

There was no candle in the hall, and the moonlight could not penetrate the silk cloth. Bai Xian could not judge how long she had been locked here, but she couldn't even hear the noise by the jade lake. She must be far away from the imperial garden. She sat on the ground with her legs in her arms, waiting for someone to save herself.

While Bai Xian was in a daze, she suddenly heard someone's footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of unlocking. She immediately stood up and hid behind the column. As soon as the man pushed the door open, he saw that there was no one on the bed in the room, turned back to another person and said, "where is she?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Xian quietly poked out his head. It turned out that it was Shao Yue and Princess Shuya. At this moment, Shao Yue was staring at Princess Shuya with dissatisfaction, and Princess Shuya bowed her head as if she were crying.

Not ready to offend Princess Shuya now, Bai Xian tidied up her clothes and came out from behind the column: "general, princess."

Shao Yue saw the joy in Bai Xian's eyes, even in the dark. He saw that Bai Xian was not hurt and his mental state was good, so he pulled Bai Xian out. Princess Shuya choked and pulled Shao Yue's sleeve: "brother Yue, I really don't know why Xiaoyu did this. Believe me, it has nothing to do with me."

Shao Yue gets rid of Princess Shuya's hand and walks out of the palace with Bai Xian. When she goes outside, Bai Xian turns around and sees her angry Princess Shuya staring at her. However, seeing Bai Xian turn back, Princess Shuya turns into an aggrieved girl in a moment.

Shao Yue asked Bai Xian softly, "xian'er, why did you suddenly leave the table just now?"

Bai Xian avoided Shao Yue's hand and kept a short but not close distance from him: "the palace maid gave me a note. I wanted to see what was written on the note, so I went to the edge of the rockery. Unexpectedly, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in the Palace just now."

Shao Yue was afraid to admonish Bai Xian: "xian'er, next time you enter the palace, don't believe anyone's words and don't eat anything given by anyone. If I hadn't found you for a long time and happened to see a sneaky palace maid when I came out to find you, I'm afraid you would stay in the palace today."

Bai Xian, who has regained her freedom, began to think carefully about what had happened just now. Princess Shuya asked someone to pass a note to herself. When she was alone, she fainted and locked up. If the Shao family didn't find Bai Xian today, the one waiting for Bai Xian might be locked up for a few days. When Princess Shuya was in a good mood, she might let her out. It might also be death or be regarded as a forbidden house by some prince.

For the first time, Bai Xian really felt the ruthlessness of the feudal imperial power. A human life is like a little ant to them. As long as it gets in their way, it can be wiped out.

When Bai Xian returned to her seat, she could hold these fears and worries firmly in her heart, because she liked Du Wangshu and didn't want Du Wangshu to know these unpleasant things. She smiled and responded to Du Wangshu's worried eyes: "aunt, xian'er was lost when she came to the palace for the first time."

Du Wangshu couldn't help looking at Shao Yue, who had just sat down opposite, "OK, next time my aunt will go with you."

Surprisingly, the Emperor didn't mention the reward of Shao Yue until the end of the celebration banquet. The ministers didn't want to touch him when the emperor was happy. After the emperor left, they left the palace.

On the way back, Du Wangshu looked at Bai Xian with a calm expression and stopped talking several times. Finally, she didn't say it. Just now she saw that Bai Xian and Shaoyue didn't look right. In addition, Bai Xian really left for a long time. It seems that she must have encountered something unpleasant in the palace.

This night, Du Wangshu still left Bai Xian in Shao's house. She didn't want to disturb Du Wangshu's time with Shaobin. As soon as she arrived in the yard, she asked her maid to take herself to the guest room on the pretext of fatigue.

After Bai Xian left, Shao Yue, who sent old general Shao back to rest, hurried to him. Shao Yue and Du Wangshu looked at him seriously: "Xiao Yue, what happened tonight?"

Shao Yue told his parents about Bai Xian being locked up by Princess Shuya this evening. Just after talking, Du Wangshu was angry. Although Princess Shuya commented well in all the aristocratic families in Luodu, she just didn't like the hypocrisy of Princess Shuya every time she saw her.

"What does she mean? Bai Xian is a counselor of our family. She has already hated her. If you really marry a wife in the future, will Princess Shuya try to kill people?"

Shao bin comfortingly patted Du Wangshu's hand: "Wangshu, don't worry, Xiao Yue, what are you going to do?"

Perhaps in Bai Xian's opinion, Shao Yue saved himself. Even if you know this, Shaobin and Du Wangshu both know that Shao Yue is an extremely short-sighted person, let alone he likes Bai Xian: "the emperor has no intention to come down today. I think he will call us into the Palace tomorrow. At that time, I will ask the emperor for an explanation. I can't make xian'er work and feel cold."

Du Wangshu and Shao bin looked at each other and smiled. The Shao family's son should strive to protect his country and the people he wants to protect. It seems that Bai Xian was really put into his heart by Shao Yue.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Bai Xian had just finished breakfast with Du Wangshu. A maid said that someone in the palace came to send a message and asked Bai Xian to pick it up.

Du Wangshu and Bai Xian hurried to the front hall and found that the Shao family stood in a full room. Bai Xian wanted to kneel behind, but was called to the front by the eunuch: "Miss Bai, you and general Shao have rewards. You'd better come to the front."

Bai Xian looked at the eunuch in disbelief, symbolizing the emperor's bright yellow imperial edict, and knelt down to Shaoyue in good order.
