Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 186

In the other courtyard, the scenery is excellent.

The light snow on the gravel path is as white as the bright moonlight at night.

But Baili Jiuge was not in the mood to watch at all, and now he was following Luo Diewu, looking left and right, trying to see something suspicious.

After turning several turns like this, Huo Di, through a door opening with hanging flowers, glimpsed that the depth of the back garden was actually open, hanging over the Luohe River.

Luohe water... This reminded Baili Jiuge of the mechanism Mo Li mentioned, and he wanted to rush over to find out.But right now, Luo Diewu is going to take them to the main hall, as if she won't let the three of them go to the back garden for a while, maybe they will be blocked from behind...

Subconsciously looking at Mo Li, seeing his calm expression and half-smile, Baili Jiuge knew that Mo Li was calm.However, I always feel that it is better to go to Tantan there earlier... Then what should I do?

With an idea, Baili Jiuge suddenly covered his stomach and shouted: "My stomach is not feeling well, I'm going to relieve myself, you guys drink tea first and I'll be back in a while!" After saying that, he ran towards the hanging flower arch.

Luo Diewu's heart twitched, but her face remained unchanged. She called out: "Princess Princess, don't be so anxious. My princess asked the maid to take you there!"

"No need!" Baili Jiuge's voice came from a distance: "I can find a place myself!"

Anxiety appeared in Luo Diewu's eyes, she was about to instruct the maid to go over, but she heard Mo Li say: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness, Jiu Ge is so reckless, is it my fault, I will catch her up here, please Her Royal Highness and Prince Chen are waiting in the main hall."

"Zhou Shizi—" Before Luo Diewu could say anything else, Mo Li was already walking towards the arch of hanging flowers. Although he was walking slowly and unsteadily, he didn't intend to stop at all.

After all, Luo Diewu had deep thoughts, fearing that Baili Jiuge and Mo Li would discover the mystery of the open garden, so she hurriedly let the maid beside her go over, in order to keep an eye on them, and call for someone if they saw something wrong.

But just as the maid was about to leave, Yin Haochen grabbed her cuff suddenly.

"Miss, stay here." Yin Haochen asked: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, how old is this maid of yours, has she married yet?"

Luo Diewu couldn't help but wonder why Yin Haochen suddenly said such a sentence, she smiled and replied: "This is Xiaolu, she is exactly 16 years old this year, and she hasn't married a husband yet."

"It's so good." On Yin Haochen's cold face, there was a look of joy, "Your Highness, this girl is my king's favorite, and please give her to my king."

"This..." Luo Diewu's face remained unchanged, and she was puzzled.

That little green was also surprised, looking at Yin Haochen, who was extremely puzzled at first, but looking at Yin Haochen's knife-like silhouette, cold handsome face, and the invisible coercion surrounding him... This is a man Great man!Xiaolu was so crazy about it.

Luo Diewu wanted Xiaolu to go over and stare at people quickly, so she said: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang may not know yet, many people say that this princess is very stupid, and they will believe whatever they hear. So, His Royal Highness Chen Wang, please don't joke with me. Ah, then all the princesses will believe it is true."

She patted Xiaolu's shoulder to wake him up, "Xiaolu, hurry over."

Xiaolu seemed a little regretful, but could only obey.

But Yin Haochen didn't let her go, and blocked Xiaolu's way forward with a big step, and even stretched out his arms to clasp Xiaolu's shoulders, preventing her from moving forward.

Luo Diewu was in a hurry, she didn't know that Mo Li already had doubts about her, and now she only thought about not creating troubles.

So he said: "His Royal Highness, of course my princess will agree to your request, but Xiaolu still has something to do right now. The tea is getting cold, Your Highness should drink tea with this princess first."

Yin Haochen looked at Luo Diewu, with guilt rolling in his eyes, he sighed: "This king actually knows that the second daughter of the emperor still holds a grudge against this king's last false accusation..." Seeing Luo Diewu's eyes change slightly, Then he sighed: "Last time, this king's concubine was wronged. It was this king who was angry for a while and failed to investigate carefully, so he wrongly blamed the second daughter of the emperor and made you suffer in prison."

"His Royal Highness——"

"The second daughter of the emperor," Yin Haochen interrupted Luo Diewu's words seriously, "I am sorry for you, and you will hate this king. It is really human... This king is here today to be the second daughter of the emperor with my own hands." Serve tea to express your guilt. In addition, I fell in love with this little green girl at first sight today, and I hope that she can pour tea for me in person."

Luo Diewu choked, cursing in her heart that today is really unlucky.But the other party is after all the king of the Great Shang Dynasty, so she had to give face, not to mention that she had indeed harmed Princess Chen, and she was really afraid that Yin Haochen would take revenge...

Luo Diewu had nothing to do, and could only laugh dryly: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang is too far-fetched to say that. The matter of Chen Wangfei is because I don't know people clearly, and I was deceived by Mrs. Zhang Hua. If I say this, I am the emperor. It was a big mistake, so it should be this princess offering tea to Her Highness and pleading guilty. Your Highness, the main hall is here, please."

"Emperor's daughter, please."

Yin Haochen waved his sleeve robe, grabbed Xiaolu's wrist with one hand, and dragged Xiaolu to the main hall.

But at this moment, Baili Jiuge had already run to the back garden, avoiding the servants who walked by from time to time, and came to the waterside where the courtyard wall was wide open.

She took a breath, and saw that half of the garden was erected on the Luoshui River with a low and slow platform, which is equivalent to this other courtyard, half built on the Luoshui River, and half suspended above the water.

This looks very suspicious... If there is something underwater, it can be completely covered by the cantilevered platform.

Suddenly hearing familiar footsteps approaching slowly, Baili Jiuge looked back, saw that gentle and elegant figure, and said with a bright smile: "Mo Li, why are you following me?"

Mo Li shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were filled with doting.He approached, took Baili Jiuge's little hand, and said softly: "Originally, what I discussed with Prince Chen was to drink tea with Luo Diewu first, and then ask Luo Diewu to lead us around the back garden. At this time, Prince Chen Then make a plan to cheat Luo Diewu away, so that you and I can investigate here."

"Ah?" Baili Jiuge couldn't help but one head and two big.Today, because things were not dangerous, she didn't ask Mo Li what the specific arrangement was, but she finally had an idea, but she ruined Mo Li's plan.

Baili Jiuge blushed, "Mo Li, you won't blame me..."

"Silly Jiuge, I blame you for what you did, isn't it good?"

He caressed Baili Jiuge's little hand, it was a little cold, and he couldn't help but feel more pity.He said softly: "It's just that I didn't expect that you would make such a move, and even make such a common excuse."

"I..." blushed, flung Mo Li's hand away coquettishly, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter, isn't that a good excuse? Tried and tested, often new, just achieve the goal anyway!"

Mo Li couldn't help laughing, and didn't mind Baili Jiuge's little act of coquettishness. He gently took her hand again, and put it in his brocade to warm up together.

He said with a smile: "Right now, Prince Chen must have held Luo Diewu back. Taking advantage of this time, I will throw the chess piece into the water, and try to see if there is a mechanism under the platform."

Baili Jiuge raised his eyes again.I thought to myself, isn't it just to find an agency, it's a piece of cake, it's not that troublesome!

Da Lala smiled and said: "This is too simple, you don't need to use your internal strength, just leave it to me, I will go straight to the point!"

Mo Li's eyes moved slightly, as if he suddenly understood what Baili Jiuge meant by straight-forward.But before he could stop it, a red shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Baili Jiuge's hands were also pulled out from the brocade.

I saw her jumping into Luoshui!

"Nine Songs!" Mo Li was startled.

But Baili Jiuge has already gone down, and at this moment, I just feel that the river water in winter is really cold, and this temperature is definitely not a joke... So I quickly plunged into the water, searched around with my eyes open, and made a quick decision. On the one hand, he stretched out an arm to get out of the water, and waved towards Mo Li, telling him not to worry.

Perhaps it was not bad luck, in a short time, Baili Jiuge saw a black structure with a strange pull rod, which was very huge.

Sure enough, suspicious!

Baili Jiuge quickly poked his head out of the water, shook the water droplets all over his face, and said, "Mo Li, let me tell you, there is indeed—" before he finished speaking, he saw a large group of servants running over from all directions.

Come so fast!

Baili Jiuge was now more certain, if there were no ghosts in the water under the slow stage, why did those servants run over like flying?Luo Diewu must have ordered them to keep an eye on this place.

Right now, he couldn't finish talking to Mo Li in one breath, Baili Jiuge hurriedly communicated with Mo Li with his eyes, and at this moment, he could clearly see the boundless pity and distress in Mo Li's eyes.

She felt sweet in her heart, and immediately cooperated with Mo Li, one pretending to accidentally fall into the water and struggling in panic, the other pretending to be helpless and calling for help... She successfully deceived all the servants, and each of them really thought it was a hundred years ago. Li Jiuge accidentally fell into the water, and quickly fished her up together.

As soon as I landed, the cold wind blew on my drenched body.Baili Jiuge shuddered, feeling that even the temperature in the vast snow field would not be colder than himself at the moment.

But this biting coldness was fleeting, she was hugged tightly in her arms, and felt the fiery inner force penetrate into her body from behind, immediately warming her body.

Baili Jiuge was startled, subconsciously wanted to break free from Mo Li's embrace, and sneered: "Didn't I tell you not to use your internal energy, and treat my words as deaf ears, didn't you? Mo Li, stop quickly!"

Mo Li remained silent, and at this moment, she used a lot of strength to hold Baili Jiuge tightly in her arms, unable to let her break free.Due to the natural strength gap between men and women, Baili Jiuge really couldn't do anything, so he could only pout his mouth and look at Mo Li with distress, but his body felt as warm as a fire.

Those family members are often instructed by Luo Diewu on weekdays not to allow anyone to approach this cantilevered platform, so they hurriedly said: "You two guests should hurry into the room, Your Royal Highness should drink tea with people in the main hall .”

"Understood." Mo Li smiled warmly and politely.

He took off the crane cloak and wrapped Baili Jiuge tightly, then picked her up horizontally, ignoring Baili Jiuge's kicking, and just carried her to the main hall...

In the main hall, the fragrance of tea overflows, Luo Diewu sits in the main seat, Yin Haochen sits in the guest seat, sipping the roasted hot tea together.

Because Yin Haochen had just asked Xiaolu to pour tea for him, Xiaolu had been standing beside Yin Haochen, letting him call and drink, and kept peeking at Yin Haochen.

This nympho-like gaze, very much like Baili Ziru, made Yin Haochen extremely annoyed. Unintentionally, Wu Niannian's pure, unearthly eyes appeared in his mind.

And Luo Diewu was very anxious, worrying about what would happen in the back garden, but there was nothing she could do about it, Xiaolu was still so disappointing... Luo Diewu had to smile, and went on talking with Yin Haochen.

Later, Mo Li brought Baili Jiuge in.

As soon as they saw them, Yin Haochen and Luo Diewu were startled.

Yin Haochen didn't expect Baili Jiuge to become wet, and a wave of worry pulled his heart and lungs, and he kept churning.

Luo Diewu was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, but she didn't show it. At this moment, she seemed to be concerned and asked: "What's wrong with Shi Zifei, did you accidentally fall into Luoshui?" middle?"

Baili Jiugeben was still kicking his legs to break free from Mo Li, when he suddenly heard Luo Diewu's voice, only then did he realize that he had reached the main hall.

He hurriedly said: "I accidentally fell into the water, the second daughter of the emperor, I'm really sorry. Oh, and thank you to the servant of your house for saving me, otherwise I would have been frozen and crippled if I didn't drown."

Luo Diewu immediately recruited Xiaolu to find dry clothes for Baili Jiuge, and asked another maid to serve hot tea.After commanding, he thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "Did the concubine Shi Zi want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Luo River, but she fell into the water without paying attention to her feet? Be careful, the heart of the prince Zhou must have jumped out at that moment." " Then asked: "Where did the concubine Shi Zi fall from? Is the water deep? Is it cold?"

nonsense!How can the river water that has not yet frozen in winter not be cold?

Baili Jiuge thought so, but smiled brightly: "It's a trivial matter, no problem! Just now I was only looking at the distant view, and I didn't know where I fell from, and then I was rescued and came here."

After saying that, fearing that Luo Diewu would see through his true temperament because he could not hide his thoughts, he quickly put his head on Mo Li's chest, and asked with a smile: "Is that so, Mo Li? I remember it seems to be."

With a tacit understanding, Mo Li naturally understood the little Jiujiu in Baili Jiuge's heart, and whispered: "Silly Jiuge, I just wanted to rescue you ashore as soon as possible, and didn't care about the surroundings."

Although he wanted to say this to Luo Diewu, but Mo Li admitted that the moment Baili Jiuge jumped into the river just now, he really didn't have any distracting thoughts in his heart, he just wanted to fish her up.

Sighing slowly, sitting on a chair with Baili Jiuge in his arms, he gave her a cup of hot tea. After a while, his distressed eyes moved away from Baili Jiuge's face.Mo Li said: "Your Royal Highness, I have something that I don't understand."

"Zhou Shizi just ask."

Mo Li said: "Your Highness's other courtyard, although it is a boutique, but I always feel that it is inappropriate for the back garden to hang over Luoshui."

Luo Diewu thought suddenly, afraid that Mo Li had discovered something.

But Mo Li just seemed to be expounding his personal point of view, with a gentle smile: "I feel that the openness of the back garden is really not conducive to keeping warm in winter. In addition, if there are criminals who want to rob the other courtyard, they can come from Swim over in the river, enter the back garden directly, and commit murder and arson."

"It's really reasonable to say that." Luo Diewu made a thoughtful gesture.

Mo Li continued: "It's the first time I've seen this way of opening the garden. I don't know what kind of mentality the Queen's daughter had at the beginning, so she ordered the craftsmen to build such a back garden."

"This..." Luo Diewu quickly searched out the words in her mind, threaded them into strings, and said, "Actually, it's in the storytelling passages that the princess heard when she was young, which talked about such a thing as 'castle in the air', my princess I found it interesting, so I wanted to suspend the garden above the Luohe River, as if suspended in the air."

"I see." Mo Li smiled slightly, approving: "The idea of ​​the second daughter of the emperor is ingenious, so it seems that it is not impossible."

Luo Diewu replied: "My princess also wants to thank Prince Zhou for his valuable suggestions."

Mo Li stopped talking, seeing Baili Jiuge finished drinking the hot tea at this moment, feeling that she had completely regained her warmth, and said: "Jiuge is cold, I will take her back, and I won't borrow the help of the second daughter of the emperor." The clothes are worn, the second daughter of the emperor forgives me."

Yin Haochen understood, got up and saluted, and said: "The king remembered that he had agreed with the princess to go back as soon as possible, so he also left. He will come to pick up this little green girl someday."

"Let's go slowly, my princess will send you out of the mansion." Luo Diewu smiled, and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Finally, these gods were sent out. Fortunately, there was no danger.

But Luo Diewu didn't feel at ease, after the three of them left the mansion, they called the servants who rescued Baili Jiuge ashore for questioning.

But those servants didn't know that there was a water valve under the water, so they could only truthfully say that the concubine Shizi fell into the water, and the prince of Zhou was so anxious that he couldn't help himself, so they rushed up to rescue the concubine Shizi, and then the two of them just focused on the water. Hug together and do nothing else.

Hearing this, the stone in Luo Diewu's heart fell completely.She asked her servants to keep an eye on the back garden, and then took two maids back to her Prince's Mansion.

In the spacious carriage leading to Luoyi, Mo Li hugged Baili Jiuge and sat opposite Yin Haochen.

Baili Jiuge was leaning against Mo Li, using his internal energy to surround his body, dispelling all the cold.From the beginning to the end, she refused to allow Mo Li to help her with her inner strength.

Gradually, the red dress was ironed dry by internal force, and the hair was half-dried, and with the cup of hot tea and the warm crane cloak just now, Baili Jiuge felt very warm at the moment.

Looking up to those intoxicating eyes, Baili Jiuge asked with a smile: "Just now when you and Luo Diewu brought up the problem of her back garden, I secretly observed her. Little has changed!"

"Because of this, it shows that she has a ghost in her heart." Mo Li looked at Baili Jiuge, and explained softly and firmly.

"Luo Diewu has always been a tactful person. This time, in order to hide her guilty conscience, she kept her expression unchanged. But Jiu Ge, if you think about it carefully, if you built that back garden for fun as she said, So how do you react when I suggest that the garden is not immune to bandits?"
