Glory all the way

Chapter 249 Bold
"Get out of the way, you dog slave, dare to block my way?"

In front of Lancaoxuan's gate, he saw the young servant who served Bai Yi standing in front of the door with twinkling eyes. Butler Xiang led two guards and kicked the servant away without saying a word.

The courtyard door was wide open, and the situation in the courtyard immediately fell into the eyes of everyone.

On the stone table under the dead tree, the cups and plates were messed up, and even a few saucers were broken on the ground.

And beside the stone table, only Lu Er mischievously threw the peanuts on the plate in his hand up and down into his mouth, enjoying himself.

Xiang Steward dared to show his power to Bai Yi's servant, but he didn't dare to show his power to Lu Er.

Although Lu Er has not warmed the bed for Princess Qingcheng, Princess Qingcheng loves this handsome young man who is infatuated with her very much. Among the Eight Horses, his status seems to be only behind Bai Yi and Chi Ji.

Nodding and bowing his bow, Steward Xiang glanced at the main room with the closed door, turned his head and said to Lu Er: "Eighth son, the princess has an order, let the young one invite the eldest son to the main hall to receive guests."

Throwing the plate back on the table, seeing that the excellent white jade plate was shattered, there was no trace of regret on Lu Er's face.

Shrugging his shoulders, Lu Er curled his lips and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess, why don't you go ask for instructions and see if you can invite the second brother, the fourth brother, or others, or else, I'll fill up the number That's fine too. I'm afraid I won't be able to go..."

"This……"

Knowing that the eighth son in front of him likes to joke the most, Steward Xiang said with a smile on his face: "Eighth son, you also know that the eldest son has always been busy with hospitality in the mansion. Now, it's the princess who is on the way again." The one who came to invite the eldest son, if there is no explanation, the younger one may not be able to return to life."

Glancing at Butler Xiang angrily, Lu Er got up and clapped his hands, and said lazily: "Brother is drunk, I have already ordered Sanshui to send him to the wing to rest, if he doesn't sleep, I'm afraid he won't wake up." He came. How can he treat guests like this?"

Seeing that Lu Er prevented him from seeing Chiji, Steward Xiang became more and more certain that something had happened, his eyes rolled, and he said with a fake smile: "If that's the case, then the little one is even worse. Dare to go. No matter what, you have to go and see for yourself, otherwise..."

Before Steward Xiang finished speaking, Lu Er suddenly changed his face, "Where is so much nonsense? You are a slave, do you mean what you say?"

His complexion changed slightly, butler Xiang cursed Lu Er in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He bowed his hands and went out with the two guards.

As soon as the gate of Lancaoxuan was closed, more than a dozen guards rushed out from both sides, butler Xiang ordered sharply: "Enclose Lancaoxuan for me."

As he spoke, Steward Xiang glanced at the two guards behind him, seeing them nodding in agreement, he quickly walked towards the main hall.

The guests in the main hall had already left, and Princess Qingcheng was resting in the bedroom. When she heard that Steward Xiang had something urgent to report, Princess Qingcheng felt moved, rubbed the center of her brows, and stood up to let him in.

After entering the door and knocking his head, Steward Xiang said in a loud voice, "Princess, there is something abnormal in the Lancao Pavilion."

"what happened?"

The willow eyebrows were raised lightly, and Princess Qingcheng's face suddenly had a cold and murderous look.

Not daring to hesitate any longer, Steward Xiang secretly noticed the unusual things he found in Lancaoxuan in the past few days, and Chiji entered Lancaoxuan today and never came out, and Lu Er stopped him when he found an excuse to look at it. Jean told her everything he had seen.

"What do you mean, Bai Yi knocked Chiji unconscious and escaped from the princess mansion again?"

Princess Qingcheng asked coldly.

"Yes, the princess is wise, the little one thinks exactly that. But he wants to go in and check, but the eighth son stops the little one from going in."

Butler Xiang cried and complained about his grievances.

I don't believe it in my heart, but Chiji used to stay close to him, but today he hasn't appeared since the afternoon. Something is really wrong. Princess Qingcheng stood up and walked out without stopping.

Behind him, Steward Xiang followed with a happy face.

In the courtyard of Lancaoxuan, Lu Er had disappeared, so I asked the servant, and said that the eighth son felt bored and went to Linxian Pavilion to find the seventh son.

Without doubting him, Princess Qingcheng glanced back at Steward Xiang.

Xiang Steward understood, and hurried forward to the East Wing.

After a while, Steward Xiang came out with a blank expression and replied, "Princess, the eldest son is indeed drunk."

With a hint of displeasure in her eyes, Princess Qingcheng asked softly, "Is there any injury on your body?"

Butler Xiang shook his head with a blushing complexion.

Angrily glaring at him, Princess Qingcheng stepped forward and pushed open the door of the main room.

The smell of wine was mixed with a faint scent of medicine, faintly wafting from the inner room, looking at this room that she had never set foot in, Princess Qingcheng felt full of bitterness.

There was still a faint sound of breathing, Princess Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, turned around and wanted to leave.

Behind him, Steward Xiang looked anxious, and stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Princess, let me go into the house to have a look. The third son is not healthy and has been taking medicine. He shouldn't be drinking. He was drunk today, but he didn't know what to do." It will be fine, the servant will go in and take a look for the princess, and the princess can rest assured."

Although Steward Xiang has a lot of contempt for him, he is good at trying to figure out what his master is thinking, and sometimes, he will show it carefully so as not to arouse people's disgust.

Although Princess Qingcheng knew that his purpose was not here, she still nodded.

After entering the room for a while, Butler Xiang came out with a sullen face again.

Princess Qingcheng immediately knew that Bai Yi was indeed in the room.

Feeling uneasy because she believed Steward Xiang's words for no reason, Princess Qingcheng glared at Steward Xiang angrily, turned around and hurried down the stone steps.

After walking a few steps, he saw the young man squatting on the ground to pick up the broken dishes, and there were three wine glasses on the stone table, knowing that Lu Er didn't drink, Princess Qingcheng stopped and asked the young man, "Eighth Young Master Who is sitting across from you?"

"If you go back to the princess, it's Mrs. Du from the Zhuangyuan Mansion."

The boy got up and replied respectfully.

Nodding her head, Princess Qingcheng asked suspiciously: "Then Mr. Du is not drunk, but the eldest son and the third son are so drunk that they become unconscious?"

The young servant replied cleverly: "Before Lord Du came, the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master had already drank three jars of wine. Later, when Lord Du came, the Eldest Young Master asked Sanshui to go to the wine cellar to bring a vase of flower carvings. Didn't have a few drinks."

Nodding her head, Princess Qingcheng took a few steps forward, but she still felt something was wrong in her heart, she stopped and turned around, she looked at the boy and asked, "Then when did he leave?"

"He came at the second quarter of the time, and left at the first quarter of the Shenshi."

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, the boy replied.

Without thinking about it, Princess Qingcheng came out of the Lancao Pavilion. Behind her, Steward Xiang followed with a troubled expression, but he was thinking back and forth how to excuse himself for a while.

In the Lancao Pavilion, Du Xuan, who was lying on the bed disguised as Bai Yi, slowly opened his eyes.

The room was quiet, and even the sound of swaying branches could be heard outside. Du Xuan lay down for a while, seeing nothing unusual, he slowly got up.

Stepping lightly, he walked to the screen and took a look at the outer room, then walked to the window and looked at the yard through the gap. Seeing that there was no one there, Du Xuan raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Just now, when he heard Princess Qingcheng speak, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth, the sound of the heartbeat like a bell and drum could be heard clearly in his ears, and he was even worried that he would tremble with guilt.

Fortunately, Princess Qingcheng didn't come in.

But the dog-legged Butler Xiang stood by the bed for a long time, found no flaws, and then went out resentfully. Before leaving, he even walked away with a black jade seal that Bai Yi casually dropped on the table.

After taking a few breaths, Du Xuan didn't care about his gentle image in the past, he directly lifted the teapot on the table, and took a few sips at the tea spout.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the gate of the courtyard, Du Xuan thought "no good", walked back to the bed lightly, and lay down again.

"Brother, it's me..."

When there is no one around, Lu Er only calls Bai Yi "Brother". Although only the word "three" representing the ranking is omitted, it makes people feel much warmer.

Walking to the bed, Lu Er blinked at Du Xuan who had opened his eyes.

Du Xuan sat up, patted his chest and said: "If the princess came in just now, I'm afraid I'm going to reveal my secret."

Lu Er grinned and replied: "No, my brother said that there must be a courtyard of his own in the princess mansion. If the princess dares to enter the house without authorization, he will only sleep outside from then on, letting the wind and rain So, whether it's in Mobei or here, if brother doesn't allow it, the princess won't come in."

In a blink of an eye, as if afraid of Du Xuan's worry, Lu Er patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Don't worry, Hualiu's martial arts are very powerful. When it gets dark, he will take you over the wall and return to Zhuangyuan's mansion. By the time they find out that Brother is not in the house, it will be tomorrow night at the earliest. By then, the Qianlixiang on Brother has probably been suppressed. Even if they release the more than 100 pigeons, they will definitely not be able to find Brother. In four and a half days, I must have run a long way."

Du Xuan smiled and nodded, "I hope it's as you said."

Lu Er grinned, rolled his eyes and said, "It's still several hours before dark, what should we do? Otherwise, it must be boring to be so big-eyed and small-eyed."

"That……"

Looking around at the furnishings in the room, Du Xuan came up with an idea and said, "How about playing chess?"

Lu Er nodded, and walked to the chess table with Du Xuan.

It was getting dark gradually.

At dinner time, Chiji in the East Wing room woke up faintly. Seeing Sanshui waiting quietly, Chiji shook his head in pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, go and tell the princess. ...Bai Yi escaped."

With a shocked expression on his face, Sanshui didn't care much, turned around and wanted to run out, but just as he opened the door, Chiji called him back.

"Forget it, I'll tell you in person tomorrow morning. He has Qianlixiang on his body, so he can't run very far. If the princess knows that I was drugged with sweat medicine in my drink under the watchful eyes of everyone, I must I feel like I'm useless. Just think I'm drunk, get drunk."

Chi Ji sighed helplessly.

Nodding in response, Sanshui raised his head and said with an idea: "My lord, let me bring you a bowl of hangover soup."

"Go."

After sending a message, seeing Sanshui open the door and go out, Chi Jifu lay back on the bed again.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Chi Ji muttered in a low voice, "I can only help you so much."
