Glory all the way

Chapter 248 Rescue
"Five days later, the dragon will raise its head on the second day of February. On that day, there will be people coming and going in the Princess Mansion. Can Bai Yi get away?"

Listening to Du Xuan talking about Bai Yi's plan, Bai Yingluo asked with some trepidation.

Du Xuan shook his head helplessly, "He has made up his mind, and there is nothing I can do about it. Even the medicine for the last two days, I asked Dr. Du to decoct it, filter it dry and turn it into fine powder, and let him take it with him. I don't know if the medicine will affect it. Now, I'm even more worried than last time, as if something big is going to happen."

Sighing softly, Bai Yingluo squeezed his hand tightly and comforted him, "Trust Bai Yi, after all, he knows Princess Qingcheng and the people in the Princess Mansion better than us. Seeking victory in the middle, so, although this time looks a bit rash, it may not be impossible to succeed."

"hope so……"

Sighing sadly, Du Xuan got up and led Bai Yingluo to the yard for a walk.

It was in the evening, when the sun was setting, the entire sky was covered with a layer of golden light, and the clouds that were as fine as fish scales made the whole sky look more distant and clear.

Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan looked up at the sky and listened to the sound of the lone bird returning to its nest, but both felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

As soon as it got dark, Bai Yingluo ordered Liu Yingqin to go to the small kitchen to cook the medicine, and Bai Yi arrived just after the medicine bowl was brought into the house.

After drinking the medicine and talking to Du Xuan Bai Yingluo for a while, Bai Yi left in a hurry.

It was like this for several days.

On the fourth day, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo's hearts were lifted tightly.

Dr. Du worked meticulously. Not only did the last two doses of powdered medicine that covered up Qianlixiang become powdered medicine, but even the herbal medicine prescribed by Duan Kai's wife to remove the accumulated poison in the body was decocted and prepared.

There are only a dozen thin medicine bags for a course of treatment, which are extremely light to carry.

Bai Yi came to take the medicine again in the evening, and his whole body was a little heavy. Du Xuan noticed it and couldn't help but feel aggravated.

Seeing this, Bai Yi shook his head pretending to be relaxed, and comforted him: "I just thought that after this farewell, I don't know how long it will be until I see you again, so I feel a little uncomfortable. Don't help me. Don't worry, it's fine."

Reassuring, Du Xuan nodded, and turned to ask about Princess Tomorrow's Mansion.

In the inner room, a strange feeling floated in Bai Yingluo's heart.

On the night five days ago, when Bai Yi talked to Du Xuan, there was an unquestionable determination in his words. He said that he never wanted to stay in the Princess Mansion for a day again.

But every moment now makes him feel as heavy as if he is in shackles, and his whole body is as uncomfortable as if he is suffocated.

There was some conflict and resistance in the words, Du Xuan only thought that he was tired of such a life that was like being under house arrest, but Bai Yingluo could intuitively hear that Bai Yi's attitude was as decisive as a moth to a flame.

Hearing him say that again now, Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat.

Not caring much, Bai Yingluo opened the beaded curtain and went out of the inner room.

"sister in law……"

Standing up and calling out respectfully, Bai Yi had a look of hesitation on his face.

When he sat down, he took out a plain purse from his arms.

Pushing the purse in front of Du Xuan, Bai Yi said with a smile: "In a few months, my little nephew or daughter will be born. As an uncle, I don't have any greeting gifts for him. This one I asked someone to look at the colored glaze pendant, it is a rare item, even if it is on the market, it is not so crystal clear."

As he said that, Bai Yi said solemnly: "Buddhism also highly respects colored glaze, saying that it has the effect of eliminating diseases and warding off evil spirits, so it can be seen that it is good."

Seeing a thoughtful look in Du Xuan's eyes, Bai Yi thought he was thinking about how to reject him, so he hurriedly pushed the purse in front of Bai Yingluo, "Sister-in-law, if it's a boy, make him a jade to wear on your body." If it's a girl, let's inlay it out to make a hairpin, it's crystal clear, it must look good."

Bai Yingluo remained silent, and looked back at Du Xuan.

With just one glance, Du Xuan understood what she meant.

Looking back at Bai Yi again, Du Xuan's face was filled with anger, "What is your plan in mind, I can probably guess a thing or two now. But, I don't want to see such a tragic thing happen, So, I can't accept your gift, I'll wait for the child to be born, and you will give it to him personally. It doesn't matter if it's one year or ten years, is it true that we won't have the chance to meet again in this life? "

As he said that, Du Xuan's eyes were stained with a bit of grief.

Taking a deep breath, he looked up at Bai Yi and said in a deep voice, "You and I are the closest blood brothers in the world, without you, or without me, we are really alone, would you like to see Is it like this?"

It turned out that Bai Yi had already decided to die this time. If he could not escape successfully, he would rather die than return to the prison of the Princess Mansion.

Seeing that Du Xuan had seen through him, Bai Yi had a look of shame on his face.

For a long time, he didn't make a sound, but his stiff body and the clenched fists under the table all revealed his inner struggle.

There was an instant silence in the room.

The sound of more drums coming from the alleyway startled the three of them.

Realizing that it was getting late, Bai Yi raised his eyes to look at Du Xuan, and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

With that said, Bai Yi raised his hand, took back the purse, and stuffed it into his bosom again.

The door curtain was raised, Bai Yi walked away lightly, and Du Xuan let out a sudden breath.

Bai Yingluo held his arm, leaned on him and said softly, "Don't worry, since he has promised you, he will not give up his life easily."

"Luo Niang, thank you."

Thinking that if Bai Yingluo hadn't appeared suddenly just now, he would never have thought of going there, Du Xuan was sincerely grateful.

Bai Yingluo smiled, dragged him up and went into the room to rest.

On the second day, when the sky just dawned, there were lots of firecrackers outside, and the drums and gongs rejoiced.

After this day is over, the whole New Year is over. Therefore, every year on the day when the dragon raises its head, the streets of the capital are full of excitement, with dragon dancers, lion dancers, and all kinds of jugglers.

The children cheered and jumped to get rid of the adults' hands to watch the excitement in the crowd, while the common people applauded vigorously and stared at the excitement in front of them intently. The whole capital was like a sea of ​​joy.

In the princess mansion, there are a lot of guests.

Although the Empress Dowager didn't like Princess Qingcheng, and Princess Qingcheng's reputation for raising male favorites was not good, but this did not hinder Emperor Jiayuan's love for her in the slightest.

It has only been two months since she returned to Beijing, and Princess Qingcheng only mentioned it twice in front of Emperor Jiayuan, and the two officials she recommended were all promoted as she wished.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager accused Emperor Jiayuan many times, saying that Princess Qingcheng was a prostitute, and such actions could be regarded as interfering with the government, but Emperor Jiayuan felt that those two people were quite talented, and still reused them, not caring at all that they were recommended by Princess Qingcheng .

All of a sudden, officials who wanted to be promoted or transferred came in droves, hoping to catch up with Princess Qingcheng. Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the Princess Mansion has been full of visitors.

On the day when the dragon raised its head, Qingping Street was crowded with people, and the carriages parked in the alley blocked the alley completely, and Steward Xiang had to send a few servants out to maintain order.

According to Bai Yi, he will appear in the main hall for the banquet at noon, and once he leaves the banquet, he will get ready, and when Princess Qingcheng takes a lunch break and Chiji and the others return to the courtyard to rest, he will To escape from the Princess Mansion, the route chosen was naturally the Zhuangyuan Mansion separated by a wall.

But until the end of the day, Du Xuan, who had been waiting in the backyard, didn't hear anything.

In Du Xuan's heart, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The bold idea that had been in his heart for a few days just popped into his mind.

He didn't even dare to mention it to Bai Yingluo, Du Xuan only said that he wanted to go and see it in person, and went to the princess mansion alone, leaving Bai Yingluo who suddenly felt uneasy in Yixin Garden, watching his back go away.

All the way smoothly, I followed the boy in front of the princess mansion to Lancaoxuan, and saw that Chiji was holding a jug to pour wine for Bai Yi who was reclining on the soft couch basking in the sun, while Lu Er beside him, although his face was full of laughter, But in the eyes, there is clearly some anxiety.

Du Xuan immediately understood that Chi Ji was probably on guard, so he came here specially to trip Bai Yi.

"Brother Du came at a good time. Bai Yi and I were talking, and the two of us are a little bored drinking. You are here, and the three of us are more interesting."

Chi Ji stood up and greeted Du Xuan to take his seat, speaking familiarly.

Before Du Xuan could answer, the green ear on the side had already grabbed the conversation, and said rather angrily: "Brother, you are not fair, you are the one who forbids me to drink, and now you feel that the two of you are not interested in drinking, obviously you don't think of me in the eyes."

Puffy green ears, bright eyes, adding a bit of childishness.

Chi Ji patted his head affectionately, "Little boy, what wine do you want to drink? In three years, when you are full, I will let you drink as much as you want."

After all, Chi Ji stopped talking to Lu Er, and warmly greeted Du Xuan to sit on the other side of the stone table.

Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced sideways at Lu Er.

With the same mind, Lu Er pouted and asked Chi Ji unhappily, "Brother, since Mr. Du is here, you must bring some good wine to entertain you? I heard that the flower carvings you brought from Mobei are in the wine cellar. There is still one jar, how about letting Sanshui make a pot?"

Chi Ji took a deep look at Lu Er, and said with a hearty smile: "How can a pot be enough? Why do you need a small jar."

After finishing speaking, Chiji raised his voice and called out "Sanshui", and a handsome boy came in from the courtyard.

Chiji ordered: "Go and make a jar of flower carvings from the wine cellar."

"Yes, son."

Sanshui took the lead and left.

Within a quarter of an hour, Sanshui arrived with a wine jar the size of a flower pot.

Waving his hand, he pushed Sanshui back impatiently, Lu Er lifted the lid and poured a bowl of wine for each of the three, while taking a greedy sip.

Seeing Lu Er's wrinkled face, the three of Du Xuan couldn't help laughing.

After only three glasses of wine, Chi Ji was a little drunk and blurred. While Du Xuan was still wondering, Lu Er poured him another glass of wine, and in an instant, Chi Ji fell softly on the stone table.

He really wanted to get Chiji drunk, but seeing him down three glasses of wine at this moment, Du Xuan held his glass blankly, a little unbelievable.

Lu Er blinked slyly, "Double doses of sweat medicine will ensure that he won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

Du Xuan couldn't help giving Lu Er a thumbs up.

On the side, Bai Yi threw off the blanket on his body, walked towards the house, and hurriedly said to Du Xuan: "Go quickly, or you will be in trouble if you are involved."

Du Xuan stood up, looked at Bai Yi's back and said, "You go first, I'll stay here to take care of you. When they find out that Lancaoxuan belongs to me and not you, maybe you have escaped far away safely."

Bai Yi stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Du Xuan with a look of shock.
