Glory all the way

Chapter 266 fruitless
The rumors that spread all over the sky in the capital gradually subsided before Qingming, and Song Feiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She ordered people to investigate secretly for several days, but they did not find any evidence that this time the rumor had anything to do with the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

At the end of the investigation, even Song Feiran was a little confused: Could it be that she was overthinking and wronged Bai Yingluo?

This thought was thrown to the back of Song Feiran's mind as soon as it appeared, she still believed in her intuition that this matter must have an inescapable relationship with Bai Yingluo.

But after thinking about it, without evidence, even if she believed in her heart that Bai Yingluo had done something secretly, she still couldn't do anything to Bai Yingluo.

However, Song Feiran has more important things to do now, so for a while, she can't care less about plotting against Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan and making them embarrassing.

On the day when she left the palace, Concubine Hui urged Song Feiran not to lose the big because of small things. The most urgent thing is to give birth to the child first, instead of counting those who have hurt her.

So, back at the Princess Mansion, Song Feiran put down his posture and was careful to coax You Yiheng into the inner hall.

You Yiheng swears that he will never go to Princess Qingcheng's mansion again, and that he has never had the idea of ​​raising noodles, which makes You Yiheng look pale.

It is said that the husband and wife had quarrels, fighting at the head of the bed and making peace at the end of the bed. When you woke up early the next day, You Yiheng looked good, and Song Feiran nestled in his arms like a little girl and pampered him for a long time. , You Yiheng has returned to his previous gentle and gentle appearance.

After getting up to wash and wash, looking at the delicate and charming face in the bronze mirror, Song Feiran let out a sigh of relief.

Looking down at his flat stomach, Song Feiran became depressed again with self-pity.

In Yixin Garden, Bai Yingluo flipped through the new clothes she had sewn for her soon-to-be-born child one by one, with a gentle smile on her face.

Joking with Chen Xiang and the others, outside, Liu Ying hurried in to pass the news, saying that Mrs. Bai had arrived.

Bai Yingluo sat up, and as soon as she got off the ground, Mrs. Bai entered the room.

"Godmother, why are you here today? But what happened at home?"

The last time the Bai family aunt came, Bai Yingluo followed Du Xuan's wishes and told her not to rush to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to serve her, but to come back after Xiaoshitou's full moon.

It's only the sixth day of April, and Bai Yingluo can't help feeling worried.

Auntie Bai shook her head with a smile, "On the eighth day of the eighth day of the academy, Brother Jue sent a letter saying that he had taken a day off from his master to attend the full moon ceremony of Little Stone, so I Then come to pick him up, and go back to Baijiazhuang together on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh day. There is nothing to do in the next two days, so I will come to accompany you."

Bai Yingluo responded with a smile, and at the same time ordered Liu Ying to send a young man to the academy to tell Bai Jue.

At dinner time, Du Xuan came back from the outside and was also very happy to see the godmother. He also said that it happened to be the ninth day of the lunar new year when he had a rest and could go back to watch the ceremony, but was stopped by the aunt of the Bai family.

"It's rare to rest for a day. Luo Niang is healthy, so you just stay at home with her. It's just a full moon ceremony for children. Why do you make it so grand? You, just stay at home and wait for Xiaoshitou's first birthday next year." During Catch Week, you and Luo Niang will take the children to watch the ceremony together."

Aunt Bai looked at Bai Yingluo's belly and smiled.

Knowing that his godmother is an honest and honest person, Du Xuan didn't shirk any more, but asked Bai Yingluo to prepare more generous gifts for Bai Xiu and Xiao Shitou.

Although she was pregnant, Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang handled Zhuangzi's affairs extremely meticulously, and never made Bai Yingluo worry about it. If it wasn't because of this relationship, Bai Yingluo would take care of it and make Bai Xiu look good. , not to mention, this is Bai Yingluo's closest elder sister in her previous life.

Naturally, Bai Yingluo agreed with great joy.

In the evening of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Du Xuan came back from Honglu Temple, and went to the academy to pick up Bai Jue.

After using some tea and cakes, the Bai family aunt took Bai Jue and set off in the carriage that Bai Yingluo had ordered her servants to prepare, for fear that it would be difficult to travel on the road after dark.

Watching the carriage drive out of the alley, Du Xuanfang and Bai Yingluo walked slowly towards Yixin Garden, the sky was getting dark, and the backs of the two cuddling each other were gradually elongated, looking very warm under the light of the lantern.

On the second day, Du Xuan and Muxiu got up early, and went to plant a few rows of peppers, eggplants and radishes in the small vegetable field in the backyard.

Speaking of which, Bai Yingluo sat on the rattan chair and watched from the beginning to the end, but Du Xuan, who rolled up his sleeves and worked hard all afternoon, by the time he came out of the field, the sweat on Du Xuan's forehead had already slid down to his neck.

After entering the room and taking a bath, the two sat down lazily on the soft couch and chatted. After a while, the topic turned to Bai Yi who had lost his voice.

"Lu Er said that the princess mansion looks calm now, but it is actually not peaceful. Princess Qingcheng has sent out more than a dozen groups of people to look for Bai Yi, and now several teams have returned, and there is no news."

The tone was calm, but Bai Yingluo could hear the lightness in Du Xuan's mouth.

"No news is good news. If this is the case, it means that the thousand miles on Bai Yi's body has no effect. Now he is far away from the sky, carefree, and can go wherever he wants, unless he wants to be found. Otherwise, those People are afraid that there is nothing they can do to him.”

Thinking of the way Bai Yi came to Zhuangyuan's mansion every time without making a sound, coming and going without a trace, Bai Yingluo had a lot of confidence in him.

Du Xuan nodded, took a long breath and said: "It's not the most important thing that he can escape. In my opinion, the most important thing is that Princess Qingcheng can let go of her knot in her heart and not bother him from now on." of."

Thinking about it, Bai Yingluo nodded in agreement.

In the princess mansion across the wall, Princess Qingcheng looked at the captain of the guard in front of her sullenly, and asked angrily, "When I left the mansion that day, what did you tell me? If you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies. What about now?" ? Two months have passed, and you have brought back a sentence without a trace, so you plan to go on a business trip?"

"Princess forgive me..."

Kneeling down on one knee, the captain of the guard held his fists and pleaded guilty, "Princess, I took two teams of capable guards to chase all the way to Mobei, and searched for a few days in the mountain where the third son lived, but there was still no result. Even a few hunters at the foot of the mountain, I also went to inquire about it, and those people have not seen the third son, so I think the third son has fled elsewhere."

Looking up, seeing Princess Qingcheng's face full of reproaches, the captain of the guard pleaded guilty: "Princess, Song Dynasty has a vast territory. If we only need a few of us, if we want to find the third son, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's really too difficult. I also ask the princess to forgive me, and allow me to pay off my merits, and I am willing to look for it again, if I can't find the third son, I will not come back."

He has been with Princess Qingcheng for many years. The captain of the guard clearly knows Bai Yi's position in Princess Qingcheng's heart. He knows that if he can't find Bai Yi, his job will be guaranteed. Fearing that it would be difficult to guarantee, he immediately expressed his determination.

But Princess Qingcheng, because the captain of the guard mentioned the deep mountain and the Orion under the mountain, she suddenly fell into the memories of the past.

"What changes in the mountains?"

Just when the captain of the guard was extremely worried, Princess Qingcheng spoke up.

Apparently, he didn't expect the princess to ask this question. The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and replied, "It's not much different from a few years ago, but the hidden paths in the mountains have been covered by weeds and vines." , Those signs left in the past are also difficult to identify now, so the effort required to enter the mountain once is much more difficult than before.”

Taking a deep breath, Princess Qingcheng nodded her head, and said to herself, "Spring is here and everything is recovering. The mountains and forests at this time are the most beautiful."

The scene that had appeared countless times in the dream appeared again, and the affectionate expression on Princess Qingcheng's face suddenly became sad.

After a long time, she waved her hand feebly, "You all step back."

"Princess, the third son..."

The captain of the guard asked inexplicably.

There was a wry smile on her lips, and Princess Qingcheng said in a low voice like a sigh: "The world is so big, if he wants to avoid it, how can I find him? Forget it, let him live, let me live too..."

Said softly, Princess Qingcheng stood up and walked slowly into the inner hall.

At this moment, she seemed to be a little less angry than before, as if all her strength had been sucked away, like a lifeless puppet held in someone's hand.

The captain of the guard froze for a moment, turned around and exited the hall.

As soon as he went down the stone steps, he met Chi Ji who was oncoming.

"The humble job has seen the eldest son."

After bowing his hands in salute, the captain of the guard turned sideways to get out of the way.

Chi Ji paused, looked back at him and asked, "How?"

Shaking his head with some disappointment, the captain of the guard said again what he had just reported, and repeatedly stated that the two teams he led were absolutely relentless. It was indeed a lot of hard work, but still no one was found.

Nodding his head, Chiji comforted him with a smile: "The third son's ability can go to heaven and earth, if you don't find him, you can't find him even if you travel all over the world, so don't blame yourself The princess sees your loyalty, you have worked hard all this way, go down and rest well, I will mention the reward in front of the princess."

"Thank you, my lord."

Two months of running around, no credit but also hard work, now recognized by Chi Ji, the downturn on the captain of the guard was wiped out, and since Chi Ji promised to ask for rewards for them, this matter is firmly established, go back It can be regarded as an explanation with the brothers.

After bending over and saluting, the captain of the guard turned around and strode back.

Chi Ji let out a sigh of relief, raised his feet and walked towards the main hall.

After climbing up the stone steps, Chiji turned around, looked at the blue sky above his head, and showed a relieved smile on his face.
