Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 25 Planning and Planning
Countless thoughts flashed across Bai Zhi's drooping face, and he couldn't figure out what Shi Yiqing said, so he could only say vaguely and awkwardly: "Slave, I just heard a few words."

Now that Shi Yiqing had made up his mind, he pretended to be holding back his sadness, and said in a hoarse voice on purpose: "Actually, what you said is right, my biological mother, Aunt Xiao, was indeed married with the mother in front of me. Later, the mother in front passed away, and the old lady was afraid that other people would not serve her well, so she asked Aunt Xiao to be a teacher and nun next to the eldest sister. Looking back on that childhood memory, it is still vivid in my mind, and now things are like people No, the eldest sister married far away and never met again, even...even Aunt Xiao doesn't know which courtyard she is in."

She intentionally paused in the last sentence, making Bai Zhi mistakenly think that Shi Yiqing originally planned to call Aunt Xiao Xiao her mother, although she corrected it in time, it was hard to hide the choking sadness in her words.

Bai Zhi subconsciously took a step, paused, hesitated for a while, and then came forward to comfort her: "Miss, don't be sad, you should be very happy if you want to marry a young lady and go far away, but I just want to come to Aunt Xiao..."

"I... What's wrong with Aunt Xiao?" Another deliberate pause made Bai Zhi even more sure that Shi Yiqing wanted to call Aunt Xiao her mother.

Seeing that she was interested, Bai Zhi didn't bother to hide anything, and hurriedly said: "My lady, Aunt Xiao is not in good health, and now it's winter, and the pain is unbearable. The doctor who invited said that this winter will not come. It's gone..." On the lowered cheeks pretending to be sad, a pair of inquisitive eyes turned around, and their eyes were fixed on Shi Yiqing's face, carefully exploring every layer of micro-expression on her face, and refused to let go of a single bit.

Today's Shi Yiqing is no longer the child who was so innocent that everyone believed it in his previous life. He controlled every inch of his expression just right, pretended to be more and more sad, and said, "Aunt Xiao is my biological mother after all, but now I can only Watching her suffer, but can't do anything, hey."

Bai Zhi took another step forward, and said as if reminding her: "Miss, now that your life is better and you are liked by the old lady, it is just a matter of helping Aunt Xiao. Besides, even if you can't help Aunt Xiao, At least it's good to go and see her."

Shi Yiqing blinked innocently, and said: "But didn't you just say that Aunt Xiao is sick? If I go to visit at this time, and my father finds out, I'm afraid that I will be overwhelmed by illness just because I went to see her." Grandmother, didn’t you offend Father? How about this, after a while I begged Grandmother to ask the imperial physician to show Aunt Xiao, if there is nothing serious, I’ll ask Father for permission, it’s safer.”

Bai Zhi anxiously stomped her feet: "How long will it take to go back and forth? I'm afraid that Aunt Xiao, she won't make it to that time!"

Shi Yiqing took a step back in horror, almost fell to the ground, his face became pale and transparent suddenly, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said dryly: "You mean, you mean... Aunt Xiao, is she really dying? ?”

"Aunt Xiao is looking forward to her return, just looking forward to seeing her before she leaves. Now that she has returned home in glory, she is even more loved by the old lady. What do you have to worry about?" Bai Zhi squeezed out two tears, and said sadly, "Thinking that Aunt Xiao will never be free all her life, but now even the young lady refuses to see her for the last time, how can Aunt Xiao bear it!"

Holding the bronze mirror, Shi Yiqing moved his numb legs and sat down on the soft couch beside him. He thought about it for a long time, pretending to make a major decision, and said through gritted teeth: "Even if my father gets angry when he finds out , even if you really want to drive me out of the mansion, I will definitely see me... see Aunt Xiao!"

"Miss……"

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, Bai Zhi, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I have made up my mind and no one can change it."

Bai Zhi quickly stepped forward, leaned down and squatted down, and said in a slow voice: "I don't intend to dissuade you. Aunt Xiao is your biological mother. Even if the master finds out, there is absolutely no reason to be angry. Take ten thousand steps back, If the master is afraid that you will give the old lady the sickness, the young lady can rest in Xie Hall for a while, wait for the sickness to dissipate, and then go to lecture the old lady. Even if the master is angry, he will read the scriptures. In front of the old lady, I won't do anything to you! Miss, don't worry."

Shi Yiqing's sad eyes flashed a flash of understanding.Let's just say that Bai Zhi came to the inner room to accompany her and talked so many things, she definitely didn't just want to provoke her to miss her mother, as expected, the main event was here.

The entire Shi family knows how much Aunt Xiao was favored back then, and how desolate she is now, Shi Jingran's indifference and ruthlessness, the third wife Yang's suppression and torture, and the villain's ridicule and sneering, all these are like A pair of sharp and sharp daggers that were polished viciously pierced into her heart, and as the hand of fate that held the handle kept stirring, Aunt Xiao's wound became bigger and bigger, inflamed and festered.

Bai Zhi just wanted to make Shi Jingran angry because she went to visit Aunt Xiao, and then be kicked out of Shi's house and out of the capital?No, she instinctively told herself, the whole thing was not as simple as she thought.

Shi Yiqing eagerly stepped forward to hold Bai Zhi's hand, and said without hesitation: "Good sister, you are the best, you see things so clearly, I think you will know what to do to see Aunt Xiao, and you won't be annoyed Father, the old lady is hurt!"

Bai Zhi showed a embarrassed expression on purpose, and after thinking about it under Shi Yiqing's insistence, she finally said: "Well, the courtyard where Aunt Xiao lives is in a single-door courtyard facing the wall in the north of the garden. Let's go in quietly, and then come out quietly. I don't think the old lady will know."

"That's a good idea. But, when is it better for us to go?"

Bai Zhi barely suppressed the eagerness in her voice, and said: "Anytime you go, there is a possibility of being discovered. There is only one time period, and there is no one in the Shifu. Let's wait until everyone puts out the candles, closes the door and locks the door. Wouldn't it be perfect to sneak across the garden to look for Aunt Xiao, do it without anyone noticing, and come back before dawn?"

Shi Yiqing thought about it carefully, and finally nodded with a smile and said, "It's really a good idea, then follow your way."

Bai Zhi couldn't stop the joy rising on her cheeks, she got up eagerly to respond, and after bowing down to salute, she couldn't wait to leave the room.

Watching Bai Zhi leave, Shi Yiqing's downcast gaze was suddenly cold and gloomy, there was the sound of light footsteps coming from the door, walking around the tables and chairs to the inner room, it was not someone else, it was the shear flow going back and forth.

Shi Yiqing rubbed the stiff brows, removed all expressions on his face, and asked softly: "Didn't you be asked to chase after Yinxiu? Why did you come back? Where is Madam Xu, do you know that Madam is back? "

Jianliu stepped forward and squatted in front of Shi Yiqing: "Miss, you must not trust Bai Zhi's words!"

Shi Yiqing glanced at Jianliu, raised his eyebrows slightly: "The reason."

She paused, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Miss, don't blame this servant for being talkative. The servant has been with the lady since the first day, and she has already regarded herself as a lady. Seeing the young lady back to the capital, she has witnessed the hardships of the young lady. This servant speaks out of his heart and loves the young lady. Miss, the servant girl advises you to guard against day and night, and it is difficult to guard against house thieves. Now Bai Zhi has a secret behind her If so, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious!"

"I have always known that you are smart, but I didn't know that your mind is so delicate." Shi Yiqing smiled softly, without any trace of falsehood, "I understand what you mean, and I also know your worries. They want to watch me die, so I want to see who will die first!"

Shi Yiqing leaned over to pick up the brand new pair of embroidered shoes, threw them aside with contempt, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know how the third lady thought that even such an idiot would dare to send them here."

Seeing Shi Yiqing's calm expression, Jian Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Since Miss already knows Bai Zhi's intentions, then she can't go."

Shi Yiqing lazily leaned on the soft pillow and looked at Jianliu, deepened the smile on his face, and said: "No, I must go, and I must go! Jianliu, everyone has already drawn up battles and is waiting to compete with me." Competing, you say that I will accept the post but not fight, isn't it ridiculous?"

There were eager footsteps outside the door, and Jianliu stood up to face the door, but before he could stand still, he was knocked down by the rushing Madam Xu, regained his composure and hurriedly stabilized his body, and asked with a puzzled frown : "Mommy, why are you so panicked?"

Nurse Xu walked over to the soft couch anxiously, just about to speak, she looked around vigilantly, then sent Jianliu out to watch the door, and then whispered to Shi Yiqing: "You Do you know what I just ran into?"

Shi Yiqing raised her eyebrows to express her doubts, and then she heard Madam Xu say in a suppressed voice: "When I came back from the gate of the house just now, I accidentally ran into Mrs. Gao, who was beside the third lady, going to the rockery in the garden. Out of curiosity, I followed her, and saw that she was pulling a person to talk, and I vaguely heard a few words, as if she was telling me something, and when I was about to go up and listen more carefully, that Mama Gao I took out a bottle from my pocket and stuffed it to that person, turned around and left, I saw the person who was talking to her, at first I only thought it looked a little familiar, but after I came back and thought about it, I remembered where I had seen her before. "

Madam Xu said solemnly: "That person is not someone else, but the rough envoy woman in our yard. I only vaguely remember her surname Qin, but I don't have any impression of others. I think it must have been made up in recent years. The ones who came in were from the Third Madam."

Shi Yiqing frowned suspiciously and asked: "What did they find a rough woman next to me? Could it be that the third lady is going to kill me with poison because I took some of her clothes?" A beam of light shone on On the stage, all kinds of doubts suddenly became clear.

She couldn't help trembling, subconsciously held onto her arm, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, it's not me that wicked woman wants to kill, but my biological mother, Aunt Xiao!"
