Glory all the way

Chapter 231 Bai Yi
"Mrs. Du, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

The person who came was the steward of Princess Qingcheng's mansion, a gentle middle-aged man in his 40s, when he saw Bai Yingluo, he looked a little guilty, but Bai Yingluo clearly saw the confidence in his eyes.

That's right, one is a princess, and the other is a married woman from the sixth rank. Bai Yingluo should feel honored that the pet of the princess mansion ran into his house, right?
But seeing this person, Bai Yingluo's heart was full of anger.

The person who came was Xiang the steward of the princess mansion who had threatened and lured Du Xuan several times in the previous life.

Deliberately calming down the anger in her heart, Bai Yingluo smiled politely: "Since it's important, let's look for it first. However, if you only look for the backyard, or the entire Zhuangyuan Mansion, please give me some advice. If the whole mansion is looking for it, I can also order my servants to avoid it, so as not to collide."

After Bai Yingluo said a few words, Steward Xiang's expression turned a little ugly. He cupped his hands and saluted. He humbly said, "Mrs. Du was joking. How can a servant have the right to search the Zhuangyuan's mansion? It's just separated by a wall. Don't worry about that little beast." I don’t have eyes, I ran to the backyard of your house from some dog hole, just look for it in the backyard, and forget it if I can’t find it.”

Knowing that the person they were looking for was Bai Yi, but listening to Steward Xiang's rude words, it seemed that he didn't take Bai Yi seriously. Bai Yingluo suddenly became suspicious of Bai Yi's weight in Princess Qingcheng's heart.

However, it is not impossible that Princess Qingcheng valued Bai Yi too much, which aroused the jealousy of others.

Putting aside the wild thoughts in her mind, Bai Yingluo nodded in agreement, and asked the butler to take Steward Xiang and the two teams he brought to the backyard.

Still feeling uneasy, Bai Yingluo hesitated for a moment, then followed her out.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw those people looking around with their hands scattered, and the butler Xiang stood on the steps of the lotus pond with his hands behind his back, looking around.

Seeing Bai Yingluo approaching, Steward Xiang hurried down the steps.

"I don't know what kind of pet it is. If it really belongs to the princess mansion, I'm afraid it would have screamed aloud. Are you sure he really ran into our mansion?"

The guards from the Princess Mansion had already looked around the base of the wall, but they didn't find any gaps like dog holes. Bai Yingluo turned around to ask Butler Xiang with a half-smile.

The disgust flashed across his eyes, and Steward Xiang sneered and said, "It's just a little white dog raised by the princess. It doesn't say anything on weekdays, but it might come out at any time and bite you. It's hard to guard against. .”

If he didn't understand it, his words would really make people think he was a naughty dog.

Hearing what he said about Sang and scolding Huai, Bai Yingluo suddenly felt a little dislike for him, not wanting to talk to him, so Bai Yingluo raised her feet and walked forward.

The guards of the Princess Mansion savagely waved their knives and sticks. Seeing that the plum tree, which was not in the way at all, was knocked down by many buds, Bai Yingluo couldn't help frowning.

The torches searched back and forth, one by one, Bai Yingluo's eyes suddenly widened a little.

Just now, there were a few drops of blood on the trunk of the tree that Bai Yi was leaning against.

Her heart was beating loudly, Bai Yingluo walked forward regardless of Chen Xiang's obstruction, and greeted softly with a smile on her face: "Brothers, it's just a pet, and it doesn't have wings, so it can't fly at all." Go up the tree. You guys move slowly and knock off the buds. At that time, there will be plum blossoms in people's courtyards all over the capital. I am afraid that my husband and I can only stare at the empty branches. .”

While speaking, Bai Yingluo had already walked in front of the tree, and turned around to cover the few drops of blood.

Speaking in an easy-going manner, the guards saw Bai Yingluo's body and were woken up by their own party at night, they couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity and pity in their hearts, and the movements of their hands really slowed down.

Bai Yingluo hurriedly said thank you.

After searching around meticulously, but found nothing, the guards all left Merlin and went to Butler Xiang to answer.

Bai Yingluo was the last and followed.

The sinister gaze turned around in the yard resolutely, butler Xiang sighed softly, waved his hands, and led the guards towards the front yard.

Bai Yingluo glanced at Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang nodded knowingly, followed Bai Yingluo back to Yixin Garden.

As soon as he passed through the corner gate, he saw Du Xuan hurried back.

When Sui Yuan went to call Du Xuan back, his words were not clear, but seeing Steward Xiang's face was gloomy and menacing, and Bai Yingluo followed behind cautiously, Du Xuan couldn't help but get nervous.

"Luo Niang, are you alright?"

Without asking what was the matter, Du Xuan walked up to Bai Yingluo and held her by the arm, and asked with concern.

Seeing Du Xuan, Steward Xiang's expression was not as gloomy and cold as before. He smiled a little, and he greeted Du Xuan politely: "The princess lost her pet, so the servant brought someone to look for it. Sir and Madam, please forgive me."

Seeing that it was a pet, and seeing that Bai Yingluo's hands were icy cold, Du Xuan's face suddenly became not so pretty.

"Can you find it?"

Du Xuan didn't talk to Steward Xiang, but turned around to ask Bai Yingluo.

Seeing Bai Yingluo shaking her head, Du Xuan turned to look at Steward Xiang and said, "Since that's the case, it's getting late, so I won't leave you here to drink tea."

Although he knew that it was his fault to bring people into Zhuangyuan's mansion at night, but being treated so coldly by Du Xuan, Steward Xiang took a look at Du Xuan, waved at the guards behind him angrily, turned and left.

After returning to the house and drinking a cup of hot tea, and hearing the butler come back and say that those people had left and the door was locked, Bai Yingluo nodded in reassurance.

When the butler left, the little maids were also waved away by Chen Xiang, and Bai Yingluo took Du Xuan's hand and went out.

"Mother Luo..."

Seeing Bai Yingluo leading her towards the East Wing, Du Xuan was puzzled.

But when he entered the room and saw Bai Yi sitting in front of the stove warming up with a pale face, Du Xuan froze in front of the screen.

Looking at Bai Yi, Du Xuan felt that he was looking in the mirror, but when he looked carefully, the temperament of the two was slightly different.

Du Xuan is as gentle and elegant as the breeze in early summer, while Bai Yi is more like hail that falls from the sky in the cold winter, with a chill all over his body.

When Du Xuan froze, Bai Yi also froze on the spot, even the hand holding the poker froze in mid-air.

Knowing that they need time to digest this fact, Bai Yingluo turned her head and ordered Liu Ying to guard the door, and asked Chen Xiang to bring some hot tea and snacks.

The three of them sat at the table again. Bai Yi had already calmed down. Looking at Du Xuan's eyes, he was a little inexplicably excited, "You, where are you from? What is your birthday?"

With a dark complexion, Du Xuan shook his head, "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I don't know who my parents are, so I don't know where my former residence was when I was born."

His breathing became short of breath, and Bai Yi wanted to speak, but coughed violently.

Du Xuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to pat him on the back. After a while, Bai Yi breathed evenly. After thanking Du Xuan, he took a sip of tea and said, "I was born in Yongqian in 22 years, and I am 22 years old this year. As for I don't know where I lived."

In the whole world, it is almost impossible for two unrelated people to look exactly alike, so the moment Du Xuan and Bai Yi saw each other, they both wondered if the other was their twin brother.

After Bai Yi finished speaking, Du Xuan asked eagerly: "Then where have you been wandering all these years? Does the person who raised you know where he picked... met you?"

Bai Yi lowered his head, and while recalling, he said to himself: "I have lived with Master in the mountains since I was a child. After I became sensible, Master told me that I was an orphan he picked up from outside. After so many years, Master treats me like his own child, so I never thought of looking for relatives. However, I vaguely heard Master mention that he picked me up at the foot of Tianshan Mountain when he was traveling in the south, but when I asked carefully, Master did not I would like to say more."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yi coughed again in a low voice.

Thinking of the big pool of blood he coughed up in the Merlin just now, Bai Yingluo asked with concern: "How are you, are you okay?"

Bai Yi shook his head with a smile, "Mrs. Xie Xie is concerned. I carry the medicine with me, but just now, my blood was surging and I didn't have the strength to take the medicine for a while. I just took the medicine and it's already much better. I will take it for a few more days." It'll be fine."

Feeling relieved, Bai Yingluo nodded, but in her heart, she was hesitating whether to tell him about his poisoning.

As soon as the idea came up, Du Xuan asked, "Can you find an antidote for your poison?"

Pupils shrunk slightly, Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not a serious problem."

But that's all he said, as if he didn't want to talk more.

Seeing Du Xuan's face paused slightly, as if he was hurt, Bai Yingluo took his hand from under the table and comforted him wordlessly.

Judging from the current situation, Bai Yi obviously didn't want to be bound in the Princess Mansion, so he escaped at night. It can be seen that the relationship between him and those people in the Princess Mansion is not harmonious.

Just because Du Xuan looks the same as him, it is impossible for him to instantly build trust. Bai Yingluo shook Du Xuan's hand, signaling him to be calm.

Bai Yi seemed to realize it too, his eyes were full of apology, but he still didn't say anything.

"Then what's your plan next? The people in the princess mansion have been alarmed. I guess there must be someone guarding the alley outside now, and you can't escape."

Thinking of Bai Yi's situation, Bai Yingluo became a little worried.

Bai Yi smiled, "I didn't intend to escape tonight."

Seeing Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo looking at him, Bai Yi said frankly, "I want to escape from the Princess Mansion, but the timing is not right now. This is just an experiment, to test the defense forces of the Princess Mansion, to see if there are any loopholes that can be exploited .But I didn’t get off to a good start, so I got to this point. But I’m also very lucky to have met you, thank you.”

Thanks sincerely, Bai Yi said with a smile: "I will not act rashly, risking my own life and the carefree rest of my life. So, don't worry."

"Then when do you plan to escape? If anyone can help you, just ask."

Du Xuan looked genuinely concerned.

Feeling warm in his heart, Bai Yi sighed softly, "Originally, I planned to leave after finding out the route. But now, there is something more important."

Looking at Du Xuan with scorching eyes, Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "I want to write to Master to ask about how I was picked up back then, and see if there are any clues to find out our life experience."

Hearing Bai Yi say "we", Du Xuan's heart became uncontrollably excited.
