Crown Princess

On the fourth day of the summer palace, the sky was not so beautiful. The downpour suddenly came, and the half of the sky was darkened by lightning and thunder in an instant. It was unpleasant to watch.

Bai Luo, who came out of Bai Jin's residence, happened to be caught in the heavy rain for a while, and the beige soft-soled palace shoes embroidered with exquisite camellias stepped on the bluestone slab that had absorbed the rainwater, and immediately got wet. Bai Luo I had to find a nearby flower stand and hide in it.

She patted the rain on the short-breasted and narrow-sleeved honey-colored blouse indiscriminately, and when she lowered her head, she realized that her phoenix skirt, which was newly given by Si Yidian, was soaked through. When the double-headed phoenix necklace was in the circle, she looked up and saw a shelf full of wisteria flowers.

Pink, purple, and pure white are densely covered on the verdant flower stand, so beautiful that people can't move their eyes away.Bai Luo was very pleasantly surprised. The several-meter-long vine flower trellis passage was not inferior to the courtyard her father planted in the Jianzhou mansion. No wonder she smelled a familiar fragrance of flowers as soon as she walked in.

She really loved it so much that Bai Luo stretched out her hand to pick a bunch and held it in her palm to play with. In fact, when she was very young, someone said that the name her mother gave her had a deep meaning. The single word luo was her mother's and father's favorite. That's why I picked a word for my beloved daughter.

Until Liang Beichen showed up with Bai Jin, and she changed from the only daughter to the second young lady, some people didn't like her, saying that her mother didn't like her at all, and the word "红" was used to imply that she was in the farmland. The radish.

It's been a long time, and Bai Luo even thinks so, but since she left Tiandu for so many years, she watched her father start from painstakingly transplanting wisteria flowers all over the yard, to drunkenly weeping silently under the flower stand every day, Bai Luo Luo knew what was true and what was false.

For example, Liang Beichen's vicious words are false, and her father wants to reconcile, that is also false, of course there are more false, just like Bai Jin...

Twirling the wisteria between her fingers, Bai Luo sat on the swing beside her, watching the rain outside, she thought she would not be able to leave for a while, sniffing the fragrance of flowers slowly, and swinging on the swing was another kind of enjoyment up.

Of course, there are quite a few people who think like her. For example, behind the flower stand that turned a corner, there are a few little maids resting. Without stopping, the girls began to think of some interesting things to say to amuse and kill time.

Coincidentally, someone said something about the East Palace. Because of the taboo, everyone was very curious, and the voice of the conversation was several times louder, and finally Bai Luo in front of him listened to the truth.

"I've heard that your Majesty and the Crown Princess just left Beijing, and His Highness the Crown Prince took a beauty into the palace and stayed in one place day and night. She is much closer than the Crown Princess." The contempt and sarcasm couldn't be concealed. out.

Then someone laughed and asked in a sharp voice: "Is the beauty male or female?"

Today, everyone probably regards Bailuo, the same-sex princess, as an absurd joke, and Wei Mingzhen, the female prince, is not much better. For her father-in-law, the general.

"Of course he's a man. I heard he looks really good-looking, but it's a pity for the princess, tsk tsk."

Bailuo tapped her toes inaudibly, sitting on the stopped swing, suddenly felt a little chilly, the wisteria flower twirled between her fingers fell to the ground, she didn't realize it, her thoughts were still stuck in that night, Laughed instead.

That demon girl Wei Mingzhen can still like men other than Nanye...

"I think His Royal Highness is the poor one. He was living in the cold palace since he was a child, and now he has finally become the East Palace, but he has to use life-long events to gain a foothold, and he married the same woman at birth. Thinking about it makes me cry."

"No, just because the princess's father is a general, in order not to embarrass the general, His Majesty deliberately abolished the title of princess and used the title of prince, which shows how powerful the princess's family is."

"You're going to die, even General Chu dares to say it!"

Bai Luo rubbed her forehead with some shame, she really didn't expect that the public would give her such a position, let alone, after what they said, she almost felt that Wei Mingzhen was so pitiful.

Thinking about the things she was bullied, it was even more and more unreal. She suppressed a smile and got up, turned her head and stopped listening to those whispers, and resolutely walked into the rain.

When they returned to the bedroom, Bai Luo was in shocking panic. Bai Xiaoduo, who was holding things in the palace, dropped at least one of her things in fright, and shouted loudly without closing her mouth: "Miss?!"

She curled her lips helplessly, Bai Luo could only hold on to her aura, flicked her wet long hair, and came in, but unfortunately she still couldn't hold back and sneezed a few times.

So much so that when she jumped into the bath for a swim, Bai Xiaoduo was still counting her faults, submerged in the warm spring water, Bai Luo felt dizzy from the comfort of her head, and it took a long time before she leaned against the thick bathing water. On the edge of the pool with a thick towel, he closed his eyes and asked a word.

"What did you hear that day? For example, about Wei Mingzhen?"

Thinking of the time she sent Bai Xiaoduo to Mr. Zhao the day before yesterday, she was hesitant to speak after she came back, probably the same as she is today, she must have heard something.

Being exposed by Bai Luo in such a way, Bai Xiaoduo had to stop her chattering, looked at Bai Luo in the pool with some hesitation, and began to speculate how much she should know.However, Bai Luo is very familiar with her appearance.

"You don't need to hide it from me, you already know, it's a good thing." Thinking that at least Wei Mingzhen still likes a man, wouldn't she be safe in this way.

Seeing that Bai Luo's appearance was not pretending, Bai Xiaoduo immediately burst into a smile, pulled Chi Yan and said, "Miss, you are right to think so, I was afraid that you would be sullen before, you don't know that those people said you It's so unworthy, it pissed me off, hum! The prince can like whoever he likes, after a few years when we leave the palace, Miss, you will marry Mrs. Gu, and you can live a more comfortable life than the prince!"

The more she said this, the more Bai Luo grinned, showing a row of big porcelain white teeth, and she was smiling, probably following Bai Xiaoduo's idea of ​​sitting on the throne in pain for the rest of her life. Wei Mingzhen, let alone, this idea is very good.

"Miss, do you think so too, don't you? Mr. Gu is so handsome, and the master values ​​it so much. If you can marry him, you will enjoy the rest of your life..."

Before she finished speaking, Bailuo lifted one of the petals, and with a little force, she landed in front of Bai Xiaoduo who was struggling to brainwash her, and stopped her words.

"Shh, you're thinking too much, you're not sure what will happen in the future."

Bailuo's indecision didn't mean anything else, she always felt that she would be able to leave the palace in two years, and she couldn't be single forever after returning to Jianzhou, right, her father was only a daughter like her, how could she break off the queen? The matter of marriage still needs to be considered, but whether the object is Gu Jixiang is another matter.

However, the premise is that she can live safely until the year of leaving the palace. After all, it is only a few days since the last time she was assassinated. The opponent is so menacing, she is really afraid that she will be caught by a black hand.

"Xiaoduo, you have to put up your spirits now. After these two years, when you go back to Jianzhou, I will also find some handsome men for you to keep you happy."

Bai Xiaoduo immediately blushed, and even had tears in her eyes, so she almost hugged Bai Luo's leg and said, "Thank you for your kindness, miss."

After leaving the side hall, Bai Luo was still arranging the new clothes on her body, she was very tired, she had been busy taking care of her elder sister for the past few days, and she didn't have a good rest for some time, seeing that this day happened to be a good time to sleep, She planned to go to the cat for a while.

But just as she stepped over the high doorstep of the dormitory, she sensitively noticed the sound of footsteps coming from behind, she seemed to be in a hurry, so she turned around to look, and she saw two people running in the rain, but after a while After reaching the jade platform with more than ten steps, he knelt down in front of her on one knee.

"Your Highness, something happened to the master!"

master?Bai Luo raised her eyebrows and looked around, and found that one of the people on the ground was very familiar, it was the guard she sent to Tiandu to deliver the letter to Wei Mingzhen that day, and the other one seemed to have seen him once or twice in the East Palace even though he looked strange.

So something happened to Wei Mingzhen?

A few moments after noon, a group of light cavalry drove out from the side gate of the Summer Palace. They all wore coir raincoats, hats and scimitars at their waists, galloping eastward in the heavy rain.

It's been a long time since Bai Luo felt so carefree, riding a galloping horse, her slightly serious fair face was calm in wartime.Although the heavy rain blurred her vision, she still quickly figured out the direction and rushed there with a small number of guards.

She didn't expect that Wei Mingzhen would rush to the Summer Palace in person, let alone that she would be besieged and killed. If the two guards hadn't been dressed, Bai Luo would still hesitate. In her heart, Wei Mingzhen's means and Armed force is not something ordinary people can defeat, and besides, there is still a Nan Ye, so who can get close to him.

As reported by the guards, Wei Mingzhen arrived at a small village a hundred miles away from Yongzhou City at dawn today when he traveled day and night. It was supposed to be a short rest, but unexpectedly he was surrounded by a group of men in black. After finding some space, the two ran out to report to the Summer Palace.

So there was a few hours of free time for this back and forth. I heard that Wei Mingzhen didn't lead many people, so it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage.Bai Luo didn't quite believe it at first, but when they got to the village where they settled down at dawn, she realized that things were serious.

The empty small courtyard was in chaos, apparently after a fierce fight, and Bai Luo took a willow-leaf dart from the wooden pillar beside her, seeing that the standard was obviously not a palace thing, she leaned closer There was also a pungent smell, and Bai Luo knew it was □□.

"Miss, I searched all over and found no one. There are a lot of bloodstains, and I can't tell them apart. It must have been transferred." Bai Xiaoduo simply wiped the rainwater off her face, and replied neatly.

This is difficult, this heavy rain started in the morning, washed too many things, it would be difficult to find traces away from this small courtyard, so Bai Luo had to call the crowd together, divide into several groups, and use this small courtyard The courtyard is the point, and within half an hour, no matter whether you find it or not, you will gather here.

Because the heavy rain couldn't light the wolf smoke or send other signals, Bailuo had to adopt this primitive method, moving closer for a short time and then separating, which was more efficient than a group of people looking for it.

Thinking of where Wei Mingzhen was cut and waiting for her to save her, Bai Luo grinned inexplicably...
