After wearing a book, I fell in love with the villain eunuch
Chapter 72 Assassination at the Palace
Taking advantage of the miscarriage, Bai Yan simply said that she was unwell and needed to recuperate. She didn't see anyone, and the palace banquet also used this excuse to escape.
I heard that everyone was not so active at this year's palace banquet. Qi Yuan had health problems, the queen was infertile and had just lost a prince. No one was in the mood to eat or drink. Everyone was planning their own thoughts.
But these things have nothing to do with Bai Yan, she left the palace relaxed and happy.
She struggled with Pei Lin for a long time before he agreed. He found someone with a similar body shape to sit in the Zhaohua Palace for her, and she could go out to play in the palace.
Bai Yan was shocked when she first saw the stand-in. It really looked like it, and the voice was also somewhat similar.
After she got down, Bai Yan nuzzled up to him, pouted and asked coquettishly, "Do you like her?"
Pei Lin frowned in confusion, finding it a bit funny. Why did he like her? It's not like he liked women who looked similar to her. He pinched her nose gently, not hard, "The queen was thinking in her mind
Get down to business."
It was a pity that he couldn't come out with her because he had something to do today. Bai Yan pouted unhappily while sitting in the carriage, but she was quickly attracted by the excitement outside.
People come and go on the street, and the daughter of aristocratic families who usually stay at home will also come out during the Chinese New Year. Xiaocui said that most of the people wearing veils are young ladies who have not left the court, and they stretch out when they meet Bai Yan wearing a veil.
Necks are curious to know what their faces look like under their veils.
"Your Majesty, please bring it with you too."
"If you don't bring it, it would be so troublesome."
Bai Yan pushed Xiao Cui's hand away and got out of the carriage. It was rare to leave the palace. What kind of veil was she wearing? It was so disappointing.
Various lanterns light up the night, and sky lanterns are constantly being released overhead, each one expressing a beautiful vision.
Some people crowded together to guess lantern riddles, some sat in front of the wine shop and made punches, and there were also children playing in front of and behind various small shops. Everyone forgot the worries and sorrows of the whole year and welcomed the new year.
Even if the New Year is not something to look forward to, the happiness of ordinary people is as simple as this. Their families are safe and happy, and they have wine and meat to eat. This is enough.
Bai Yan bought a rabbit lantern. The lantern was very exquisite, especially the downy hair on the rabbit's body. She also chose one for him, a little tiger with a tiger head and a fluffy head, which looked somewhat similar to him.
, she carried it fondly and continued to move forward.
Wang Lai stood in front of him to clear the way for her, and Xiaocui was by his side to protect her. Even if Bai Yan couldn't feel it, she knew that his people were always following her in the crowd, so she didn't need to worry.
Seeing that there were more and more people, and there was no lantern festival in sight due to the crowds, Bai Yan motioned Wang Lai to go up the mountain. Climbing halfway up the mountain, he could see all the scenery below if he stood high enough.
Sitting on the stone, she couldn't help but sigh, it's so beautiful, the dots of lights illuminated the entire lake. Even from a distance, you could still see the lotus lanterns placed on the lake.
There were three or four veiled women with their hands clasped together making a wish, accompanied by the young gentlemen standing motionless, looking like a picture.
Bai Yan couldn't help but wonder if Erfu was like this before, three or two friends traveling together, playing and making fun, and it was completely a boy-girl friendship.
She smiled and said to her in her heart, maybe this is not the life you want. But Pei Lin is very good, he is good enough to make me forget where I am. Erfu, I think if you knew all this,
You will also like him as much as I do.
Thinking of him, Bai Yan lowered her eyes a little lonely. She should be with her sweetheart during the Chinese New Year. Who would go out to do errands during the Chinese New Year? She hit the ground with her foot and waved to Wang Lai, "Are you adults really going to do errands?"
?Where have you been and when will you be back?”
Wang Lai was overwhelmed by her series of questions. He really didn't dare to ask about the Lord's affairs, so he could only shake his head and say he didn't know.
"Oh, what's the use of you!"
Bai Yan snorted heavily, "Then I won't go back today. Anyway, there is a substitute in Zhaohua Palace. Xiaocui, let's go find an inn to stay."
"No, my dear! Your Majesty has ordered that you must be brought back safely tonight. If you don't go back, won't you risk your slave's life?"
Wang Lai's face was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd. Before, he hoped that the empress would make you feel better, but now he hopes that the orders of the two ancestors will be the same. He is in a dilemma, and he cannot afford to offend anyone.
"Didn't he go to do something? How do you know if I've gone back, unless he will come back tonight."
Bai Yan stood up immediately, smiling slyly and pressing forward step by step. Wang Lai wiped the big beads of sweat on his head and did not dare to speak.
The plan came to mind for a moment, and Bai Yan clapped her hands. She didn't believe it, so he could remain indifferent?
She pulled Wang Lai over and whispered a few words in his ear. Wang Lai's legs were trembling and he was about to kneel down when she pushed him violently towards the horse not far away.
"Go quickly, Mr. Wang, I'm waiting for your good news."
Wang Lai couldn't resist, so he had to rush to the palace.
Waiting for his horse to go away, Xiaocui asked curiously, "What did the empress just say? Why does Mr. Wang have such a strange expression?"
"Tsk tsk tsk", Bai Yan shook her index finger, "The secret must not be leaked, let's go, let's hide."
Qiwu Palace is quiet and deserted. Not only does it lack the atmosphere of the New Year, it is also more desolate than before.
She didn't need to open the Earth Dragon when she wasn't in Pei Lin. There was only one dim lamp burning in the whole hall.
It really looked like the underworld rumored in the palace. Wang Lai paced back and forth outside the palace, not daring to go in for a long time. He wiped the sweat from his face in a panic, and took away the dirt that Bai Yan wiped on his face.
.
He swallowed hard. He was so impatient that he dared to collude with the Queen to deceive the Lord. He clasped his hands and prayed that the Lord would have the energy to attack the Queen, but never to him.
He hesitated again and again and stumbled into the temple according to the method taught by Bai Yan.
Pei Lin frowned, Wang Lai? Shouldn't he accompany the little queen outside to look at the lights?
His whole body was stained with sweat and mud, and his clothes seemed to have been cut open by something. He looked extremely anxious. Pei Lin dropped the book in his hand and asked, "What happened?"
"Uh... Assassins, we met assassins. They kidnapped the queen. The queen asked her slaves to come for help. Sir, please go and take a look."
Before Wang Lai finished speaking, the person sitting in front of him rushed out. Pei Lin's usually stern face was now completely cold and cruel, and his eyes were full of bloody murder. He felt extremely regretful and should not have let go.
She was alone outside.
Wang Lai followed his horse nervously and rushed out of the palace. This was the first time he saw the Lord lose his cool. If the Lord had asked more questions, he would have discovered that this lie was full of loopholes. Looking at the figure of the Lord riding the horse in front,
Wang Lai had a bad feeling in his heart, fearing that the two ancestors would have trouble again.
It was still a bit cold on the mountain at night, and Bai Yan was rubbing her hands in the cold. When she was a little impatient, she heard the sound of horses galloping towards her. It sounded like two horses, and one of them must belong to Pei Lin.
She bent her eyes, held Xiao Cui's hand and asked her to wait here. Xiao Cui asked in a worried voice, "Mother, is this bad? Please stop doing this."
"Oh, just stand here and don't move."
Bai Yan stretched her neck and waited until the two of them were close. Pei Lin tightened the reins. Just as he was about to look for some clues to see which direction the kidnappers were heading, he saw a little man jumping out of the corner.
"grown ups!"
She happily ran to him, raised her head and looked at him on the horse, "I knew you were back."
Pei Lin looked down at the person in front of him, breathing rapidly. She didn't look dirty at all from the assassin. Only then did he know what had happened.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were back? I could only ask Wang Lai to trick you into coming out. Let's go play. Next..."
But Bai Yan swallowed these three words "lively" hard under his cold face. It had been a long time since she had seen him really angry with her.
She stuck out her tongue carefully, as if she was in trouble. She moved a few steps forward in a flattering manner, approached his horse and raised her hand, "A hug."
Pei Lin didn't move or speak, and his breathing became more obvious in the quiet mountain.
After a while, he held his forehead and tried to hold back his anger. The little queen was so stupid to make fun of her own safety just to trick him into coming out.
But he didn't want to be angry with her or say harsh words that would end the situation, so he directly turned the reins and headed down the mountain.
Wait until he calms down before talking to her.
Bai Yan chased for a few steps blankly, "Pei..."
She stood there a little aggrievedly and watched him ride on the horse without looking back once. She just missed him, what was wrong with her.
It’s wrong to want to celebrate the New Year with the person you like!
Wang Lai hesitated for a moment before following the master's back. He estimated that he would be killed if he went back.
Seeing that the situation here was almost as she imagined, Xiaocui walked out and said, "Mother, why don't we go back."
The empress is too important to Mr. Pei, so he can't bear her making such a joke. Xiao Cui sighed, what is the empress doing? He has to coax him.
Bai Yan wrung her fingers in frustration, tears falling on the back of her hands. The first day of the new year was coming soon. Was he going to be so cruel to her? She wiped away her tears and heard the approaching sound of horse hooves again.
.
Pei Lin could see the little queen crying from a distance. When he left and came back, he guessed that she would have to stand there crying for a long time. It was very windy on the mountain at night and she would definitely catch the cold when she went back tomorrow.
Bai Yan looked up at him with grievances while sobbing. Pei Lin sighed, leaned down and carried her onto the horse.
He put one hand around her waist and wiped away the tears on her face with the other. Feeling the coldness of the wind on her little face, he finally slowed down his voice and said, "Stop crying."
Bai Yan grabbed his sleeve and couldn't help sobbing, "It's a bit cold, can you give me a hug?"
Pei Lin hugged her into his arms. In addition to worrying that he could not find any anger in his emotions, he touched the back of her head and said, "There will be no next time."
Bai Yan made a muffled sigh and buried herself in his arms, listening to the beating of his heart like a drum. Now she felt that she was wrong. Xiaocui was right, he would be worried and anxious, and she shouldn't be like this.
"I'm sorry, I won't do it next time, I promise. But I miss you. You see, everyone is in pairs, and I'm the only one. I want to find you, but you're still mean to me."
"When did I hurt you?" Pei Lin lowered his head and looked at the man in his arms pitifully scolding him.
"Yes! Just now!"
Pei Lin tilted his head. He thought he had a good attitude just now and he could not bear to be angry with her anymore.
"Wherever you want to go, I will apologize to you."
Bai Yan laughed for a moment. It seemed that he had been coaxing her recently. She raised her little face and rubbed his chin affectionately, "Let's go put out lanterns too."
"good."
