Glory all the way

Chapter 251 will be wrong
"Hualiu, if my palace falls into the ice cave tonight, you will just watch helplessly, right?"

The main hall was brightly lit, and Princess Qingcheng sat upright at the head of the hall, looking at Hualiu who looked down in shame and asked in a cold voice.

"Princess, I..."

Wanting to defend himself, Hualiu eagerly raised his eyes to look at Princess Qingcheng, but when he touched her eyes that seemed to know everything, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Lowering his head in despair, Hualiu said in a low voice, "Princess, please punish me, I... Hualiu voluntarily accepts the crime."

As he spoke, Hualiu knelt down on the ground, waiting for Princess Qingcheng's punishment.

Princess Qingcheng smiled, but the smile was fleeting, "Then can you tell me why you helped Bai Yi?"

Seeing that Hualiu was silent, Princess Qingcheng's face showed a bit of anger, "Hualiu, do you still remember the oath you made in front of this palace back then?"

"Hualiu remembers."

Said in a deep voice, Hualiu looked up into Princess Qingcheng's eyes and said, "Hualiu said that he would serve the princess for ten years and repay her for saving her life."

"Then, you know that I don't want Bai Yi to leave, but you still do your best to help him leave. Is this how you serve my palace?"

The voice suddenly became sharp, and Princess Qingcheng's eyes flicked across Du Xuan's face like a sharp sword.

Before Hualiu could reply, Steward Xiang rushed forward and reported back: "Princess, the third young master has escaped from the mansion for several hours. It is not too late, let's send people out of the city to chase after it. The younger one is willing to take someone with him." go."

There was nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing Steward Xiang interrupting her questioning in such an unruly way, Princess Qingcheng suddenly lost her face, "You dog slave, get out of here."

When Steward Xiang retreated to the side, Princess Qingcheng had a playful smile on her face, "It's only half a day, can he escape to the ends of the earth? I want to see how he can justify himself this time."

Everyone was still confused about who Princess Qingcheng was talking about. She turned her head to look at the servant girl beside her and said, "Go and see, is Chiji awake? If not..."

With a sneer, Princess Qingcheng said sharply: "If he doesn't wake up, then carry him into the lake and throw him down, so that he can wake up properly."

After speaking, Princess Qingcheng turned her head back and watched Hualiu closely, as if waiting for his next words.

The footsteps of the servants gradually faded away, and the main hall became quiet again.

Hualiu took a few breaths, and said softly: "Bai Yi is also a life-saving grace to me. What's more, in the princess mansion, he is the only one who knows me. If a scholar dies as a confidant, he can help him fulfill his wish. Hualiu No hesitation."

"A life-saving grace?"

Hualiu has been in the mansion for so many years, not to mention a serious illness, but he has not even suffered from a cold once. Princess Qingcheng is really puzzled, except for the time when Hualiu was rescued by herself, when did Hualiu have any dangerous encounters.

"Princess, do you still remember Wei Yi and Tan Yan?"

Hualiu raised his eyes and asked.

Princess Qingcheng frowned slightly.

Except for Bajun, all the male favorites of the Princess Mansion were brought back by Princess Qingcheng after meeting them outside.

And these two names made her even more unfamiliar.

Hualiu stopped being a fool and continued: "That year, the princess took Chiji and others to go hunting, and Hualiu went outside to do errands for the princess beforehand, so he couldn't follow the princess around. When Hualiu returned to the princess' mansion, Bai Yi was the only person in the mansion. At that time, Bai Yi had just entered the princess mansion, and he had only a casual relationship with everyone in the mansion, and we couldn't talk about any friendship. Wei Yi and Tan Yan bought the people in the small kitchen, and they were giving me If it wasn't for Bai Yi, I would have died three years ago."

Princess Qingcheng seems to have some impressions, "Those two people were punished by Bai Yi, one was thrown into the mountain and caught by wolves, and the other was sold into Lingding Pavilion?"

Chiji nodded, "Bai Yi said that he hates people who use secret methods to harm others the most, so before the princess came back, he sent the two of them away, and it was from that time that he got a job in the princess mansion." Notoriety. However, to me, Bai Yi is the kindest person in the Princess Mansion. He is kind to me, and I cannot be ungrateful."

Princess Qingcheng fell silent.

At that time, Bai Yi, although he had just entered the Princess Mansion, his heart was just like the one he knew in the mountains, pure and clear, hating all those with impure thoughts.

Looking at Hualiu who bowed his head and said nothing in front of him, Princess Qingcheng waved her hands weakly, "You step back."

Hualiu didn't seem to expect that Princess Qingcheng would spare him so easily, he was taken aback for a moment, then he kowtowed again and said, "Princess, I know you value Bai Yi very much, but his heart is obviously not with the princess. The government is not on you, if that is the case, you should spare him and let him go, Hualiu is willing to use his life to repay what Bai Yi owes you."

Hualiu's words immediately hit the scar on Princess Qingcheng's heart.

She became furious and shouted sharply: "You pay it back, can you pay it back?"

After finishing speaking, Princess Qingcheng looked up at the guards outside the palace and said: "Come here, take Hua Liu down and lock him in the dungeon. Don't let him out without my palace's order."

The guards raised their voices to promise, strode in, dragged the Huajiu and dragged it outside, only Du Xuan was left in the hall.

"Master Du..."

Calling softly, Princess Qingcheng narrowed her eyes slightly, looked Du Xuan up and down and said: "If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to tell. If I guessed correctly, Steward Xiang will take someone to your house You were the one who helped Bai Yi escape the search that day, right?"

Afterwards, Princess Qingcheng specially sent someone to inquire about Du Xuan's whereabouts that night, and found out that he and his colleagues went out to drink, and he was indeed drunk and unconscious.

But when Butler Xiang said that Mrs. Du was very calm, and threatened that if Steward Xiang didn't leave quickly, she would come to the Princess Mansion to question herself, but Princess Qingcheng felt a little weird in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Lu Er report back, saying that he found Bai Yi who was drunk and unconscious in the wine cellar.

The whole thing is connected together, it seems so seamless, but Princess Qingcheng feels that something has been overlooked.

It wasn't until that time when she went to Zhuangyuan Mansion, met Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, and smelled the faint fragrance of Du Ruo on Du Xuan when she passed by, that Princess Qingcheng felt something was wrong.

When Bai Yi was carried out from the wine cellar, there was also such a faint fragrance on his body, presumably it was contaminated from Du Xuan's bed.

While staying at the entrance of Lancaoxuan's main house in the afternoon, the faint scent of Du Ruo appeared on the tip of Princess Qingcheng's nose. Although she hadn't entered the house, she was already sure that the person in the house was Du Xuan, and Not Bai Yi.

Back in the bedroom, Princess Qingcheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that only Lu Er and Hua Liu would help Bai Yi, so there was the scene in the lake in front of the Broken Heart Pavilion.

But after Hualiu finished speaking, Princess Qingcheng didn't seem to feel that Hualiu had betrayed her.

At the beginning, she valued Hualiu because of Hualiu's commitment to love and righteousness.

Thinking this way, Princess Qingcheng became less angry, but Hualiu's last words successfully angered her.

For Princess Qingcheng, Bai Yi is a thorn in her heart.

It hurts to move, and it hurts to move.

Seeing that Du Xuan was silent, Princess Qingcheng asked coldly: "So, you and Bai Yi are really twin brothers?"

Du Xuan shook his head, "Xiaguan and Mr. Bai Yi are not brothers, they just hit it off. As for the similar appearance, it's really a coincidence."

"Coincidence? Hahaha..."

As if hearing some funny joke, Princess Qingcheng laughed coquettishly, and then said in a very cold voice, "Then how does Master Du explain the fact that you appeared in Lancaoxuan?"

Wanting to say that he was drunk by Bai Yi, but also afraid that if Bai Yi failed to escape and would be caught and punished more severely, Du Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said with a hint of despair: "Just as Mr. Hualiu said just now, A scholar dies for a confidant. The lower official has a good relationship with Mr. Bai Yi, so I am willing to help him."

Two dimples appeared on her cheeks, and Princess Qingcheng smiled and said, "I didn't realize that Bai Yi's popularity was so good."

As he was speaking, he wanted to say something. Outside the palace, there was a report from a maidservant, saying that Chi Ji had arrived.

Princess Qingcheng couldn't help suppressing the smile on her face, "Let him in."

"Chiji is guilty, I hope the princess will punish him."

Walking a few steps in front of Princess Qingcheng with a somewhat vain footstep, Chiji knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and begged for sin.

Princess Qingcheng looked at him coldly and asked, "Oh? Didn't you just see that it was so lively today, and you were afraid that Bai Yi would be left alone, so why did you go to find him to drink to relieve his worries? Or, you already knew that he was going to escape , so I made a special drinking move to let the guards relax their vigilance against Lancaoxuan, so as to help him out of trouble?"

Princess Qingcheng's words made Chiji break out in cold sweat, he quickly kowtowed and said "Don't dare", insisting that he didn't know beforehand and fell into Bai Yi's trap.

There is no evidence, and even though she has this conjecture in her heart, Princess Qingcheng can only be skeptical.

However, Chi Ji became more determined, looked up at Princess Qingcheng and said, "If Chi Ji hadn't been drunk today, he would have helped Bai Yi."

"you……"

Staring at Chiji angrily, Princess Qingcheng's lips trembled angrily.

Chi Ji said in a deep voice: "Bai Yi doesn't have a princess in his heart, why should he occupy the position in the princess's heart? That being the case, it would be better if you don't see it and make room for me. Chi Ji has already sworn that he will never be away from the princess in this life." Let me ask, who in this world would like to see the person he likes pretending to be someone else in his heart? So, even if we go back in time and do it all over again, Chi Ji still doesn’t regret it.”

It was not so much an apology, but a confession in a disguised form. Princess Qingcheng's original suspicions were gradually suppressed.

But being hit by Chiji like this made her involuntarily angry.

Glancing back at Du Xuan, Princess Qingcheng sneered at Chi Ji: "Is it pure if you don't see it? Now, who can tell whether he is Bai Yi or the number one scholar? I said he is Bai Yi, and he is Bai Yi." righteous."

Those who know that Bai Yi and Du Xuan have the same appearance are either from the Princess Mansion or from the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Others, even the doctors who came to treat Bai Yi, have never seen Bai Yi's real face, let alone the outsiders. Those who don't know the truth.

In the shock of Du Xuan and Chi Ji, Princess Qingcheng raised her voice and said: "Come on, imprison the third son in Lancao Xuan, and reflect on yourself behind closed doors for three months."
