Glory all the way

Chapter 244 Visit
For several days in a row, there was no movement from the Princess Mansion, and the music and dance of silk and bamboo, which had been silent for several days, became noisy again, and everything was as lively as before.

Even Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo almost thought that what Chiji said about Qianlixiang that day was deceiving them.

But on the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, the Princess Mansion, which had been silent before, suddenly became noisy.

Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo put on their clothes and went out of the house, and saw the other side of the princess mansion, half the sky was lit up red by fire, and the sound of barking dogs could be heard from time to time.

Bai Yingluo looked back, and saw deep worry in Du Xuan's eyes.

Turning around, she whispered a few words to Liu Ying, and Liu Ying went out in response, Bai Yingluo took Du Xuan's arm and said, "It's a blessing or a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if it is really Bai Yi who was arrested, we Just think of a way, melancholy can't solve the problem, what do you think?"

His eyes were full of red light from the torch, Du Xuan stared at the black mist swirling around intently, and nodded noncommittally.

Going back to the house, the two of them couldn't fall asleep anyway.

"Luo Niang, go to sleep, don't worry about me."

Helping Bai Yingluo back to the warm kang, Du Xuan leaned over and took off her shoes, covered her with the quilt again, and coaxed her softly.

Bai Yingluo nodded obediently, and said with concern: "You have to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to be on duty, for a while, close your eyes and squint for a while, don't burn yourself out. I have already asked Liuying to order Suiyuan Go and stare, if there is any news, he will come back and report back as soon as possible."

Now, only Bai Yingluo and the few people around Du Xuan know about the relationship between Bai Yi and Du Xuan, so, if there is anything, the two of them dare not order others to do it, for fear of revealing their flaws and being targeted by someone with a heart up.

Du Xuan nodded, tucked in the quilt for Bai Yingluo, leaned against Bai Yingluo with his clothes, and gently patted her body to lull her to sleep.

Drowsiness struck, and after a while, Bai Yingluo fell asleep.

Hearing her even breathing, Du Xuan got up, closed the bed curtain and went out the door.

Sitting alone at the stone table under the tree in the cold wind, Du Xuan felt that his whole body seemed to be frozen stiff, but listening to the movement at the Princess Mansion, what was in his heart? Can't calm down.

Chen Xiang and Liu Su came over to ask for several times, but Du Xuan didn't get up, but he still told them to go to rest, so as not to lose energy to serve Bai Yingluo tomorrow.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to instruct the little maid to deliver a cup of hot tea to Du Xuan every quarter of an hour.

The sky was pale, and Suiyuan, who had gone out to inquire about news, came back.

As if he had grasped the straw to save his life, Du Xuan held Suiyuan's arm fiercely, "Can you find out clearly? What's going on?"

Catching in a small alley opposite the Princess Mansion on Qingping Street in the middle of the night, Suiyuan was shivering from the cold, when Du Xuan grabbed him like this, he grinned involuntarily.

Du Xuan let go of his hand, and handed Suiyuan the hot tea brought by the little maid just now, and Suiyuan took it and put it down in fear, before saying in a low voice: "The Princess Mansion sent more than 20 guards, and they also brought a few vicious Dog, Mr. Bai Yi was indeed brought back. However, it seems that he was carried into the Princess Mansion after being poisoned with rosemary. The butler."

"Item Steward?"

Calling out his voice, Du Xuan realized in shock: Bai Yi may have fallen into the trap set by Princess Qingcheng long ago.

Butler Xiang's expulsion from the mansion was just a link in Princess Qingcheng's plan to push the boat along with the current, and it was just a pavement for Bai Yi's escape, so that Bai Yi could relax his vigilance, thinking that he had got rid of Butler Xiang's calculating eyes all the time.

Thinking about it now, Du Xuan realized that he and Bai Yi had ignored Princess Qingcheng from the beginning to the end.

In the huge Princess Mansion, the ones who want to plot against Bai Yi are not the few people in the Eight Horses, nor Steward Xiang or Chi Ji, but Princess Qingcheng herself.

In Princess Qingcheng's heart, Bai Yi is already her private property, and Bai Yi's honor is given by her. Therefore, once Bai Yi's heart is wrong, she will never let Bai Yi go. Others have nothing to do.

After thinking through all this, Du Xuan felt more and more that the things he discussed with Bai Yi before were so childish and innocent.

"Have you seen clearly, you are sure it is Bai Yi, and the person who followed is indeed Steward Xiang?"

Du Xuan asked.

Suiyuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The sky is too dark, the people who were captured were carried in again, the little one didn't see it very clearly. But judging by his stature, there is also the expression on the face of Mr. Chiji. The expression, the little one thinks it must be Mr. Bai Yi. As for Steward Xiang, he holds a torch in his hand, this little one can see it clearly."

A look of sternness flashed across his eyes, Du Xuan nodded in response, and waved his hand at Suiyuan, "Thanks for your hard work, go back to the house and rest, you don't have to wait by my side today."

"The little one is not tired, go back to the house, wash your face and change into clothes, and then go out with the young master. The little one will leave."

He bowed his head in response, then turned around and left Yixin Garden.

Du Xuan turned his head to look at the Princess Mansion which had already returned to tranquility, and frowned tightly.

In the evening when he came back from the Imperial Academy, Du Xuan's face was always gloomy. After dinner, he accompanied Bai Yingluo for a walk in the yard, and every time he glanced at the Princess Mansion, his eyes were full of mischief.

This kind of Du Xuan made Bai Yingluo feel very strange.

Holding Du Xuan's arm affectionately, Bai Yingluo said softly: "Today, the daughter-in-law in charge of the Zhuangzi talked back and forth, saying that the godfather and godmother will send Bai Jue to the academy tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will be able to see their two elders."

Mentioning the second elder of the Bai family, the expression on Du Xuan's face softened a little.

Knowing Bai Yingluo's true intention, Du Xuan shook her hand, and without further words, led her into the house.

Throughout the night, Du Xuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully.

In the early morning of the second day, not long after Du Xuan went out, the second elder of the Bai family arrived.

"Godfather, godmother, why didn't you bring Brother Jue with you?"

Bai Yingluo asked with concern when she didn't see the young man with a shy smile next to the elders of the Bai family.

Uncle Bai laughed and said, "The academy officially started classes today. He packed his luggage and moved to live in the academy last night."

Although Bai Jue is introverted, it is rare that he is eager to learn and make progress. Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo appreciate this very much. On weekdays, Bai Yingluo often orders the servants to send clothes and snacks to Bai Jue in the academy.

"It doesn't matter. When the academy takes a break, Xuan Lang will pick him up and come back. We can always see him."

Knowing that Bai Jue is shy, Bai Yingluo said with a smile.

At noon, when Du Xuan came back, he saw the second elder of the Bai family, and he was concerned again.

After lunch, thinking of going back to Baijiazhuang by dark, the two elders of the Bai family carefully told Du Xuan to take good care of Bai Yingluo, and took all the things they brought to the kitchen in person, and then took Bai Yingluo with a smile. The New Year ceremony prepared by Yingluo left.

As the evening approached, Du Xuan hadn't come back yet, seeing the sky getting darker, Bai Yingluo couldn't help feeling a little worried.

This kind of situation has never happened in the past. If there is something urgent to come back later, Du Xuan will always send Sui Yuan to come back early to tell Bai Yingluo.

Today, Suiyuan didn't come to send a message, and Du Xuan didn't return for a long time.

Suppressing the restlessness in her heart, Bai Yingluo ate dinner alone, took a walk in the yard, and came back after a long distance.

"Where's the son?"

In the light, Suiyuan's eyes and lips had bruises the size of a fist, apparently from being beaten, Bai Yingluo's heart was beating rapidly.

"In the past few days, the son went to the Hanlin Academy, so he ordered the little one to guard the alley opposite Qingping Street to see if there was any movement in the Princess Mansion. Today, he was discovered by the steward Xiang, and he pretended not to know The younger one is the servant next to the young master, he treated the younger one as a beggar, and ordered the guards to beat me up."

Seemingly feeling a little ashamed, he said in a nonchalant manner.

"What about the boy?"

Seeing that Suiyuan didn't say where Du Xuan was going, Bai Yingluo couldn't help feeling anxious.

"The young master has gone to the princess mansion, and he said he wants to seek justice for the little one. By the way, go and see Mr. Bai Yi."

Suiyuan muttered.

Bai Yingluo felt cold in her heart.

Du Xuan has always been calm and restrained, but now because of Bai Yi, he finally couldn't hold it back. In this way, the relationship between him and Bai Yi might not be clear, right?

"How long has the young master been in the princess mansion?"

Bai Yingluo told Chen Xiang to fetch her thick fur, while turning her head to ask Suiyuan.

Hearing that Bai Yingluo was going out, Suiyuan was in a hurry.

Kneeling down and kowtowing, Suiyuan said in a loud voice: "Madam, the young master just entered the princess mansion a quarter of an hour ago, he missed a short message to tell Madam not to worry, he will act carefully."

Breathing heavily, Bai Yingluo told herself over and over again not to get excited, but her heart still twitched, making her feel like someone was strangling her neck and she couldn't breathe.

Beside him, Chen Xiang and the others also tried to persuade him.

Looking back at the direction of the Princess Mansion, there was no disturbing silk and bamboo music today, Bai Yingluo frowned and entered the room.

In the princess mansion, Chi Ji smiled knowingly, and politely asked Du Xuan to go in the direction of Lancao Xuan.

After entering the gate of the courtyard, Chi Ji stopped at the stone steps of the main house, said with a smile, "Brother Du, Chi Ji will take you here. Bai Yi is in the room, you can go in by yourself. I won't bother you anymore."

Having said that, Chi Ji simply turned and left.

Du Xuan took a deep breath, stepped forward and pushed open the door. Inside, Bai Yi sat in front of the brazier expressionlessly, without a trace of blood on his face, which made people feel palpitations.

"How are you?"

Du Xuan's voice was a little hoarse.

He thought that Bai Yi would be so bruised that people couldn't bear to look at him directly, but at this moment, Bai Yi was in good health, and he felt even more heartbroken.

A bitter smile floated on Bai Yi's lips, "What's the difference between living like this and being dead?"

Stepping up to sit opposite Bai Yi, Du Xuan turned around vigilantly and looked around. Seeing that no one was watching, he was relieved. On the other hand, he still grabbed Bai Yi's hand and wrote on his hand: A few words: Is there anyone?

The implication is that someone is listening in the dark.

Bai Yi shook his head, "In their eyes, the current me is too difficult to fly, so naturally I won't spend such thoughts."

"how?"

Seeing something in Bai Yi's words, Du Xuan became more irritable.

There was a touch of pain in Bai Yi's eyes, "Ruanjinsan."

Thinking of just finishing writing in the palm of his hand, Bai Yi's arm dropped limply as soon as he let go. Du Xuan thought it was because he had no interest in life, but after hearing what he said now, Du Xuan There was a trace of despair in Xuan's heart.
