I became the apex of my nemesis by acting

Not long after Ye Gui left, there was the sound of walking outside the door, and the wood was being trampled. He squeezed the teacup in his hand, and looked sideways at the door that had been silent for a long time.

That voice was clearly coming towards this room, but it seemed to be a hallucination.

He stood up and walked to the door, narrowing his eyes slightly, and took two steps forward. The babbling sound sounded outside the house again, and the man walked in another direction. He kept listening quietly, listening to the footsteps. The sound paused at the top of the stairs, probably without entering the house, and walked downstairs again.

There was another movement on the railing, and the pace was very fast. He hurried back to the bed and lay down, but the door was pushed open with a 'click'.

The originally flustered pace was lightened, and he walked all the way to his bedside, and stopped still.

"Master, maybe that person just went to the wrong place just now, don't be suspicious all the time." Xiao Muzi stood beside him and yawned.

Xue Beiwang breathed a sigh of relief, and his snort could be heard in the quiet room: "It's good that he's fine, you can deal with the house affairs quickly, after all, it's not a long-term solution to keep him here."

Xiao Muzi said: "My lord, I only brought 3000 taels of banknotes this time. In the future, the two of us will go back no matter what."

"To buy a better yard here is at least 800 taels, and the more expensive ones will cost 400 taels. You can't be sloppy with food and clothing, and now you don't know how long you will stay in Wu State. It is right to be diligent and thrifty. "

"I'm different from my brothers who are raised in the imperial city all day long. I haven't suffered any hardships, but Jueyu is different. He has been in Hualou for a long time, and he doesn't know the dangers outside. This delicate skinned and tender flesh can go outside. What are you doing?"

Xiao Muzi sighed and said: "It's not that you forced him to redeem himself, he naturally has plans, and he must have a place in his heart."

Xue Beiwang said: "I'm afraid the old bustard forced me to pick up the guests, so I had no choice but to redeem myself and leave."

"I really think that for so many years, Baihualouge didn't know whether he was a man or a woman? In my opinion, Baihualouge knew that Mr. Jueyu was a man, so it would be impossible for him to easily reveal his identity and cause resentment. I have met Mr. Jueyu since we met. He was sold out for the first night by the old bustard, and the series of events were not so much fate, but more like design."

Xiao Muzi looked at Xue Beiwang and didn't refute him, coughed twice, and said again: "I think it's true that Mr. Jueyu redeemed himself, and it's also true that he met you and wanted to find someone to take advantage of. Could it be that the matter of Chubao was caused by him and that person?" The old bustard is playing tricks and deliberately came to you."

"Of course I don't mean to say that Mr. Jueyu is sorry, but the color is confusing and there are too many strange things in it. You should think about it carefully."

It's not that he didn't think about what Xiao Muzi said, but the life of Prince Min's mansion was almost hanging by a thread, and it was true that Jueyu entrusted someone to save him.

But under these words, he couldn't figure out whether Jueyu sent people to follow him just because of his vague words and weird expression at that time, or because he originally wanted to find other opportunities to warm up his favor, and the entrusted person blind cat I ran into a dead mouse and just saved him...

Xue Beiwang sighed, said softly to sleep, and left the house with Xiao Muzi.

Bai Chengjue opened his eyes on the bed, and his eyes became colder.

Doubt it?Bai Chengjue left an ingot of gold from the package, and ran away before dawn.

Since Xue Beiwang wanted to doubt him, he just took this opportunity to go back and calm down Sister's mood.

He left in a very chic manner, imitating Xue Beiwang and leaving a cloth note like last time, and the note clearly listed the money for accommodation, medical treatment, change of clothes.

Taking advantage of the lack of people in the morning, he made a few detours, then found an opportunity to sneak back to Prince Min's mansion, exchanged identities with Ye Gui, and sent someone to drive a carriage into the palace.

In the imperial study room, Bai Yanqiu was sitting in front of the case reviewing the memorial. When he heard that he was coming, he hurried down the steps, staggered by the dragon robe, and almost fell to the ground.

The old eunuch at the side supported Bai Yanqiu and said, "Your Majesty, be careful of the body of the dragon."

Bai Yanqiu stabilized his body, seeing Bai Chengjue who opened the bead curtain, he couldn't hide his smile.

"You all step back, all of you, you just want to talk to the little emperor alone."

"Here."

The maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side left, Bai Yanqiu stepped forward to hold Bai Chengjue's hand, and pulled him to sit down on the steps.

Bai Chengjue said softly, "How decent are you?"

"I'm going to check it carefully, the little uncle was injured by this assassination." As he spoke, Bai Yanqiu stubbornly pulled Bai Chengjue's arms away and sniffed. There was only the scent of orchids on it, and there was no smell of blood. Only then did he look at Bai Chengjue and heaved a sigh of relief, "Those trash! Gu ordered people to chop off everyone in and out of Prince Min's mansion! Even the house can't be guarded well, and it's useless to keep this life."

"Yanqiu is a king, but he must be too tyrannical and cruel. He should have the heart of the world, so that he can last for a long time."

"If the servants do bad things, they will be punished. My little uncle is kind-hearted. How can the lives of these people be as valuable as my little uncle's?"

Bai Chengjue let out a long breath, and said helplessly, "Yanqiu, are you going to deal with my people in the Min Palace for me?"

Bai Yanqiu slowly withdrew his hand, and then he spoke with a crying voice: "Is this how Little Huangshu misses his nephew in his heart?"

"I'm used to the people in Prince Min's Mansion. If I change people, there is far less tacit understanding. I'm powerless to run in."

"Uncle Huang doesn't want to change it so he doesn't want to change it. Today, the Imperial Dining Room sent some cakes. They taste very good. Uncle Huang took off his mask and tasted it." Bai Yanqiu changed the topic, stood up and served the cakes on the table. Standing in front of Bai Chengjue, he seemed to know that Bai Chengjue was unhappy with his remarks just now, so he hurriedly flattered him, "Try it."

"The eldest princess has prepared lunch for me, and will stay soon."

The smile on Bai Yanqiu's face faltered, he held the plate in both hands, and finally nodded.

Bai Chengjue stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and said, "Don't pay attention to what other people say, Yanqiu, I will always be your emperor's uncle, the emperor's brother and father entrusted you to me, I will do my best to protect your safety .”

"I experienced great changes when I was five. I saw you when I was six. Brother Huang is my benefactor. I am only six years older than you. I watched you grow up. Even if I die for you someday, I am willing to die for this life."

"I don't want the relationship between you, my uncle and my nephew to be affected by others."

Bai Yanqiu said: "I know that Little Huangshu is the best person in the world to me."

Bai Chengjue nodded, told Bai Yanqiu, "the weather has changed recently, pay attention to your health", and left the imperial study.

Over the years, Bai Chengjue rarely entered the palace, and mostly appeared in front of people as the oiran of Baixiang Pavilion.

Every time he returns to the palace, he needs to take pills to change his physique. The figure of a woman should not be too rough. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his physique is not too delicate. In order to maintain the figure of a woman, the late emperor ordered people to develop pills early on. Every time he took the medicine, his body shape would change in less than an hour, and the pain was unbearable.

In order for him to be more like a woman, he soaked in lotion when he was young, in order to make his skin delicate and fair, like a roll of fine silk cloth.

How many times he cried and begged to die in severe pain, the first emperor would tell him that if he couldn't even do this little thing, he would let the young sister go to a foreign clan to marry her.

In the distant memory, the footsteps have stopped outside the gate of Changle Palace.

Elder Sister, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, was wearing a cloak and approached him with unconcealed joy when she saw him coming.

The eldest princess stepped forward to help Bai Chengjue's shoulders, with a gentle smile and a graceful appearance, and she could vaguely see the shadow of her dead mother.

"Jue'er has lost weight. The eldest princess held Bai Chengjue's hands distressedly, lowered her head and let out a sigh of relief, and rubbed her hands gently, "You, the empress of Yucizhai seldom walks around in the palace. you? "

Bai Chengjue smiled lightly and said, "I know, so isn't this here?"

The eldest princess led Bai Chengjue into the house, and after the palace people dispersed, she personally took off the iron helmet on his face. Before Bai Chengjue could speak, her eyes were red and she held the iron helmet in her arms, trying not to shed tears.

"Auntie is going to cry?"

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Princess put the iron helmet aside, raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes: "I waited for you outside the house for too long just now, the wind dazzled my eyes."

"Well, sister, don't worry, everything is fine outside the palace."

The eldest princess said: "Then why was he assassinated?"

"The assassination is false. I was originally an idle prince. No one in the civil and military court should bother me. It's just a thief who wandered into the house to steal. The story changed when it was added to my sister's ears."

The eldest princess smiled slightly: "I know that you are fine, and my heart is at ease."

"It's not that meals are prepared."

"Well, it's what you usually like to eat."

At the dinner table, the eldest princess added dishes to Bai Chengjue, and sat quietly watching her brother eating, with a gentle smile on her face all the time.

The eldest princess filled him with good wine.

"Sister, won't you eat?"

The eldest princess said: "I'm not hungry, it's rare for you to come to the palace once, so why don't you let my sister see you more."

After finishing speaking, warm fingers ran along Bai Chengjue's hair.

"You look more and more beautiful. You are not young anymore. When did you get married and have children?"

"Aren't sisters not married yet?"

The eldest princess smiled lightly, gently tapped the forehead of Bai Chengjue with her fingertips and said: "If it weren't for your family's incompetence and that family's incompetence, why should I stay in my boudoir at twenty-four? I think it's because your brother is too picky. Use this to block my words."

"I think that Miss Ji's family was pretty good back then, she often came to accompany me in the palace. You kept procrastinating until that Miss Ji's family became married to Prince Zhao's wife. If you keep procrastinating, I think all the good girls in the imperial city will be dragged away by you." Gone."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess poured herself a glass of flower wine: "Speaking of which, Jue'er is too picky. Marrying a wife to seek virtue, good looks and good character are enough."

Bai Chengjue changed the subject and said, "Those young masters from aristocratic families are not easy to get along with, let alone sister think what I said is reasonable."

Those who want to join in-laws with the royal family are more or less frequent visitors of Baixiang Pavilion, and some young masters often go in and out of dark//prostitution//houses on weekdays.

Probably because I met too many people in Baixiang Pavilion, I always felt that those dirty things were not good enough for Bai Qingli, so every time Bai Yanqiu talked about Bai Qingli's marriage, he was perfunctory.

For Wu Guo, he has already made great sacrifices. If he still can't let the eldest princess marry a good family, all the hardships he has suffered from before to now will be considered in vain.

"According to me, sister of the Lantern Festival should go out more often. The Holy Majesty has given grace. How can you find a sweetheart in the palace? You are free to marry whoever you want, and whoever you like. Can't I protect you?" Live with you and your future brother-in-law?"

The eldest princess sighed, "Jue'er can't be proud of being favored just because the Holy Majesty loves her."

Bai Chengjue looked at the eldest princess with a reproachful face, and drank the flower wine with a hidden smile.

He couldn't help the accident that happened back then.

But he didn't want that after he had sacrificed so much, his relatives would still be caged birds...
