Chapter 26： relax

It was after ten o'clock in the evening.

Xie Zhi sent Bai Qingyang safely to his home.

Yang Dejin's plainclothes secret guards received strict orders to protect Bai Qingyang well.

However, the guards Xie Zhi raised in the mansion were not vegetarians, so the hidden guards of the Prince's Mansion did not break in directly, but wandered around the courtyard.

The masters in the mansion saw that they were not hostile, and Xie Zhi also told them not to start conflicts, so a delicate harmony was formed inside and outside the mansion.

As soon as Bai Qingyang arrived at the hall, he heard someone calling his name. She turned around, and it was her mother, Mrs. Bai, who came.

"Aniang." Bai Qingyang muttered, his eyes a little sour.

"Qing Yang." Madam Bai also had tears in her eyes.

For Mrs. Bai, this is the first goodbye to her daughter after a few months.

For Bai Qingyang, this was a reunion across time and space, and her impression of her mother was still in Qinzhou in her previous life.

She finally saw the mother who loved her and loved her again.

Bai Qingyang couldn't help crying, but what he wanted to say was unable to form a complete sentence because of sobs.

Xie Zhi stood aside and silently watched the reunion of the mother and daughter, and did not step forward to disturb them, but only ordered the servant girl in the mansion to tidy up a room for Bai Qingyang to live in temporarily.

The servants in the mansion were all winking, they didn't ask much, and just followed the instructions.

Xie Zhi watched the two embrace each other with tears in their eyes, and felt that his mood was finally relieved.

She recalled the past, until her teacher's wife died of illness, Bai Qingyang was not able to see Mrs. Bai for the last time.

He failed to protect Bai Qingyang's mother, failed to protect the teacher's wife, and even she was not sure that she could protect herself at that time.

Bai Qingyang said he didn't blame her, but Xie Zhi never felt a moment's peace of mind, self-blame, guilt, remorse, helplessness, almost drove her crazy, that was the eternal shadow and pain in Xie Zhi's heart.

This time, the mother and daughter were finally reunited.

Great, Bai Qingyang, I did it.

The next day, Tianshu Palace.

In the afternoon, Li Zichou was holding a book in his bedroom and flipping through it absently.

Lu Xiaoying is a quiet person, but she didn't expect that the empress would be more depressed than herself, presumably it was what happened last night that stimulated her.

Lu Xiaoying thought about it, but she still had the courage to talk to her master: "Aren't you going to the shooting range or the training ground in the afternoon, Your Majesty?"

Li Zichou tilted her wrist, and the book slipped onto her lap. She sighed and said, "When I was practicing swords this morning, the general told me that I was impetuous, and I was driven back. Don't go to him until all distracting thoughts are cleared."

She suspected that Chen Feng was just looking for a reason to be absent from work.

Lu Xiaoying nodded and said, "Your Majesty was overly frightened by what happened last night? I'm going to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some soothing prescriptions for you?"

Li Zichou shook his head: "I'm fine, I just..."

A little frustrated.

Intrigues in the officialdom, intrigues in the court, conspiracy, open strife, these are things that happen every day in this era, but I seem to be too blind, blinded by the infinite scenery on the surface of Dasheng and the prosperity of singing and dancing.

What are the undercurrents under the seemingly calm sea, you will only know when you really dive.

Li Zichou sighed again.

"Why is Your Majesty so dull?" Zhou Huaijin stepped into the door with one hand behind his back, holding something in the other.

"What do you think?" Li Zichou didn't bother to look up at him, his hands were so bored that he folded the pages of the book back and forth.

"Your Majesty needs to cheer up quickly." Zhou Huaijin was working in the palace last night and heard about the Qujiang Banquet, "Have you forgotten your ambition?"

Li Zichou raised her eyelids, of course she hadn't forgotten it, but when she thought about having to go through so many similar things sitting in this position, she couldn't cheer up.

Zhou Huaijin saw that his encouragement was useless, so he had to change his method: "Your Majesty, your deployment has been very thoughtful. Our people have strict control and inspection of your meals, and poisoned wine will not appear at all. In front of you. But we don't care about Ma Yu, no one will verify whether his glass of wine is poisonous or not."

Zhou Huaijin lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt by the desk not far away: "What I want to say is that with your talent and vision, there is no need for your great cause to end because of this setback."

What's more, Zhou Huaijin felt that this was not a setback at all, and it didn't poison the Empress, right?

Lu Xiaoying also interjected: "Master Zhou is right, if I were your Majesty, I would definitely find out that poisoned **** and feed him a hundred oleanders."

Zhou Huaijin: "..." Is this a murder or an elephant...

Li Zishou: ...

How could she have thought that Lu Xiaoying was not good at words before, she is so speechless that she can't stop dying...

Li Zifu smiled wryly, knowing that they wanted to cheer himself up: "You two...I understand."

She put down the book in her hand and stood up: "I won't be depressed for too long, give me some more time."

Lu Xiaoying nodded: This is the awareness that a generation of Wentao Wulue queens should have!

Seeing that she should be able to recover, Zhou Huaijin also breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that if he failed in his consolation skills, even if it cost him his life, he would scold the empress and wake her up.

Now it seems that there is no need.

Zhou Huaijin raised the letter in Yang's hand: "Guess what it is?"

Li Zichou looked at the yellow envelope, with a blue and white circular pattern glued to the seal.

She squinted her eyes for a closer look, then raised her head and asked him, "A letter from the Prince's Mansion?"

Zhou Huaijin raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he hadn't expected that Li Zichou's guess was right, but he detained the person who came to deliver the letter for a long time before he knew it was a letter from the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Majesty really has a clever plan." Zhou Huaijin praised sincerely.

Li Zichou pursed his lips and pulled the envelope from his hand.

What a magic trick, the seal was sealed with sealant, and there was also a Doraemon pattern printed on it. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Dejin?

Li Zixuan started to read the letter, turning a blind eye to the crooked calligraphy, quickly scanned it, and smiled helplessly.

Turning around, she told Zhou Huaijin and Lu Xiaoying that she would sneak out of the palace.

Zhou Huaijin said that he would send secret guards in the palace to protect her, but Li Zichou refused.

Zhou Huaijin watched her put the letter into his arms, and decided to ask a question he had always wanted to ask: "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"I have a question."

"ask."

"It is said in the palace and court that Prince Yu disobeys His Majesty's rule and has a heart of disobedience." Zhou Huaijin looked at her and said, "But from my point of view, your relationship with Prince Yu doesn't seem to be that bad?"

Otherwise, when he left the palace earlier, how could Li Zichou let him deliver a letter to the Prince's Mansion?

And Zhou Huaijin has been in the palace all the time, he knows every time Prince Yu enters the palace. When these two people talk, they always have to push back other people, including Zhou Huaijin.

At first, he thought that the empress and the prince were going to fight one-on-one, but later he found that although Prince Yu always had a dark face and an unhappy look when he left, the empress did not have any negative emotions. , Sometimes even humming happily.

I was so dazed, this, this, this... Anyway, Zhou Huaijin was very scared for a few days.

Li Zifu found a light-colored robe and put it on for herself. She took a moment to look at him. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huaijin was quite sensitive this week. My plan."

Zhou Huaijin curled her lips, knowing that the empress didn't intend to tell herself, so she told herself not to ask too much.

He nodded and said, "Alright, alright, then Your Majesty should leave the palace as soon as possible. I will leave all the hidden guards in the palace. You can rest assured."

Li Zichou nodded, explained a few more words, and left.

On the palace road near the Jingyang Palace, a young woman in a white dress with a collar and slanted **** sat on the stacked building stones at the end.

Yang Dejin usually shows people in men's clothes, and has never worn women's clothes for so long. Anyway, I'm going to sneak out with Li Zifu to play later, so I simply found a good-looking women's dress to try.

The hair was left loose, and the back of the head was tied with a ribbon, and other hair accessories were used to pin the sideburns behind the ears.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, now go?" Yang Dejin stood up.

Li Zichou was puzzled: "Where are you going?"

This person sent a letter asking him to change into inconspicuous ordinary clothes, and then went to the secret passage to find her, saying that he was going out of the palace, but he didn't say where he was going.

"I'll take you out to relax, yesterday you looked so distraught before you left, I couldn't even find you, how can I rest assured?" Yang Dejin glanced at her.

"...so obvious?"

"Others see you as angry, don't I know? You haven't been out of the palace since you passed through. Let's go, sisters will take you around the capital."

"Dejin, you're so amazing... I'm not afraid when something like that happens. I wish I was half as optimistic as you." Li Zichou walked out of the movable wall with Yang Dejin, and carefully restored the wall.

"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid? You're still here. Zichou, think of me before you break the pot. Otherwise, I can only hang on to the southeast branch and be a companion on Huangquan Road " Yang Dejin begged with a look of distress.

Li Zichou was finally amused, and said perfunctorily, "Yeah, if I'm in a good mood."

The two were silent for a while, and it was Li Zichou who couldn't help but speak first: "There is no mention of poisoning at a banquet in the book, right? Is this also the butterfly effect?"

Yang Dejin shook her head: "I don't know either. It is true that the original book did not mention that such a thing happened at Qujiang Yan."

The plot changes too much, which makes her a little bit overwhelmed.

"Maybe it was me, or we violated the interests of some people."

Yang Dejin glanced at her: "Who? It can't be Prince Yu, can it?" Prince Yu has already been overwhelmed by his own soul.

"Hmm...Bai Qingyang?"

"We didn't hinder her much, did we?" We even helped her secretly, "And I think if the heroine wanted to kill someone, she wouldn't use secret poisoning."

Li Zichou: ... Stabbed to death in person, right?

"Hey, let's not talk about this, you have to go shopping with me today and tomorrow." Yang Dejin waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive away such an unlucky topic.

"Huh? Are you going to sneak out of the palace tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Yang Dejin replied as a matter of course, "This capital city is so big, let alone a day or two, it took me a week or two to get a rough idea of ​​the second ring road!"

The second ring road that Yang Dejin mentioned was the area closest to the imperial palace and the most prosperous area in the capital.

Not to mention the whole of Linjing, when she first came here, she would get lost in her own home.

The Prince's Mansion was marked down by the late Emperor himself, and it was frighteningly large, occupying half of Changle Square, with a total area of ​​more than 300 mu.

Yang Dejin felt that she was living like the protagonist of Mary Su Wen, her parents died, she had land and a house, and she just woke up from a big bed of 200 square meters every day.

Of course, it refers to the original parents of Prince Yu.

Li Zichou looked at his roommate in disbelief: "No, Yang Dejin, what medicine did you take wrong, and you actually go out for a few days in a row? Don't you claim to be the number one house in the world?"

Yang Dejin choked when he heard the words: "The house is also built on the premise of having electricity, network and equipment. In this era where going out depends on walking and making calls depends on yelling, what is the difference between squatting at home and growing mushrooms?"

So Yang Dejin was only locked up in the Prince's Mansion for a few days at that time, and couldn't bear the loneliness and started to start a career.

Clear eyeliner, inquire about news, recruit cronies, open stores and invest, go shopping, go to the kitchen, never idle for a moment.

She really misses her mobile phone and computer wireless network, and she doesn't know if she can wear it back...

The author has something to say:

Bai Qingyang: I heard that you want to hang up the southeast branch for plums?

Yang Dejin: Uh...how about letting you hang up.

Bai Qingyang: ...

Li Zishou: ...
