Chapter 191 Try to trick me
"Commander Li is here to protect the Queen Mother! I won't bother you then!"
Li Rongyue approached her and teased, "I have a question that I can't figure out. The county lady said she was on good terms with me before, so why is she running away now? She changed her face so quickly, is it because she thinks I am no longer useful today?"
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt guilty. Indeed, it was thanks to the private seal that Li Rongyue sent her last time that she really helped her a lot.
But Bai Zhaozhao didn't dare to be alone with Li Rongyue, especially when Wang Jinnian said last time that he might have had some adventure, she knew that Li Rongyue was most likely reborn. So in his opinion, Bai Zhaozhao was his wife in his previous life, which was why he helped her secretly.
But Bai Zhaozhao was not reborn! So she still has some vest on her body.
Because she had no memory of being with Li Rongyue in her previous life, she was just a bystander who had replaced the original owner. Her knowledge of Li Rongyue was limited to that one paragraph of text, so she could not recognize her as a reborn person.
But what would Li Rongyue think of her actions in this life? Of course, she would still be reborn! Unless she could explain the concept of traveling through a book.
But why should she explain? She should just find a reason to stay away from him!
"Are you trying to make up an excuse to deceive me?" Li Rongyue suddenly asked.
Bai Zhaozhao paused, and simply stopped pretending: "What kind of excuse can deceive you? Okay, I admit it, I changed my attitude because you are of no use today! And you might delay my work, so it's better for us to stay away from each other!"
Li Rongyue lowered her head slightly. Is this what Bai Zhaozhao thought? Then did she know that he was also reborn? No, even if she didn't know before, she should know now.
So she still didn't trust him, afraid that he couldn't stand on the same side as her? It seemed that she had really suffered a lot in her previous life.
After all, he broke into her life in her previous life and pushed her away with his own hands, which led to her being taken to the capital. If he had never appeared, Bai Zhaozhao might have lived an ordinary life instead of having her corpse used.
Thinking of this, Li Rongyue stared at Bai Zhaozhao and said, "Maybe you can give it a try?"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't understand: "What?"
Li Rongyue suddenly smiled: "Why don't you make up a reason to trick me and give it a try?"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"Good, because I don't like you following me."
Li Rongyue immediately said, "I didn't follow you. I just caught the assassin and was afraid that you would be in danger."
Bai Zhaozhao:!!!
So that's how it is. So the traces of the fight on the road were cleaned up by Li Rongyue. Oh, could it be that Li Rongyue knew about the assassin in advance?
So this was Concubine Xu's plan to abort the baby? She wasn't trying to blame the Queen Mother, but was frightened by the assassination.
It should be. In this case, hasn't this crisis been resolved by Li Rongyue? Tsk tsk, rebirth is good!
Then will she still go to Xiangguo Temple? Nonsense! Of course she will!
Unexpectedly, Li Rongyue asked, "Do you want to protect the Queen Mother?"
Bai Zhaozhao nodded, but Li Rongyue said, "The Queen Mother has secret guards around her. You don't need to protect her. Instead, you will be discovered and it will be difficult to explain."
That's right! But if Concubine Xu's plan fails, she will definitely think of other ways.
Li Rongyue said again: "I can take you to Xiangguo Temple to have a look, and we won't be discovered by the secret guards. How about that?"
Bai Zhaozhao: Wow, you’re such a nice person!
"Row."
Since he is so understanding, Bai Zhaozhao will not refuse. As long as he doesn't ask about rebirth, we can still be friends.
Li Rongyue was somewhat happy, it seemed that he was still useful.
Inside Xiangguo Temple.
After the Empress Dowager finished worshipping the Buddha, she offered the Buddhist scriptures copied by the royal ladies, and then took Concubine Xu to ask for a fortune.
The old monk who interpreted the fortune was said to be one of Zen Master Guiyuan's disciples and was highly respected.
"Ice freezes into a mirror to reflect the shadows of flowers, and fog falls into water to reflect the moonlight. This sign means that flowers in the mirror and moons in the water cannot be obtained, and a big dream will eventually come to nothing. I hope that the imperial concubine will not force it and calm down in time."
After hearing this, Concubine Xu's fingers trembled slightly. She understood that the master was reminding her to give up quickly.
But the empress dowager obviously misunderstood the old monk's meaning. She thought the monk was reminding Concubine Xu not to use her pregnancy to covet things that she could not desire.
So the Queen Mother said to Concubine Xu, "I heard that the peach blossoms on the hill behind are in bloom. Please accompany me to see them!"
Concubine Xu nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother."
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Concubine Xu pointed at the cavalry commander standing in front and said, "Just bring a few less people with you, and stay away."
The cavalry commander responded, "Yes."
So he pointed out several deputy generals and captains to go to the back mountain with him, including Bai Hao.
This was the first time Bai Hao met Concubine Xu. He knew the grudge between Concubine Xu and Bai Zhaozhao, so he was very alert.
At this time, Concubine Xu and the Queen Mother went to a pavilion to rest after enjoying the view.
The Empress Dowager taught Concubine Xu a lesson in just a few words, which roughly meant that she should just give birth to a child and not always think about unrealistic things.
Concubine Xu was also very considerate and agreed repeatedly, which made the empress dowager very satisfied.
Then Concubine Xu said to several imperial guards, "I want a few peach blossoms at the top of the peach forest over there. Can you help me pick some?"
The commander of the cavalry naturally pointed to Bai Hao and several other captains to do the job. After all, there were no officials of lower rank than them here.
After a while, several thousand households took a peach blossom in their hands and stood in a row for Concubine Xu to choose. Concubine Xu pointed directly at Bai Hao and said, "Take yours. The one you picked is really good!"
So Bai Hao stepped forward and placed the flowers in front of Concubine Xu and the Queen Mother.
"Look, Queen Mother. Aren't the peach blossoms on this mountain more beautiful?"
The Queen Mother seemed to be interested as well, and fiddled with it with Concubine Xu: "It does look better."
At this moment, another captain suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! There's something wrong with Captain Bai's peach blossom!"
Everyone was shocked. The cavalry commander immediately stepped forward to take a look, then handed the branch to his subordinate and asked him to throw it into the water. He said to the queen mother, "There are remnants of a hornet's nest on this peach blossom!"
The Queen Mother looked unhappy, but Concubine Xu pretended not to understand: "What does this mean?"
The cavalry commander explained, "Wasps are vengeful animals. It should be that Bai Qianhu accidentally destroyed their nest when he was picking flowers. Once they find it, they will follow the smell to seek revenge. If you are bitten, it may be fatal. Please ask your Majesty and the Queen Mother to return to the palace as soon as possible!"
The other captain started to blame: "Captain Bai, how can you not have this much common sense? If there is anything wrong between the Queen and the Queen Mother, can you afford it?"
Concubine Xu's eyes flashed with pride: "Captain Bai? You are not from... the family of the Princess of Zhaohe County, right?"
The Queen Mother's originally calm face flashed a hint of surprise after hearing this: "Are you from the Bai family?"
Bai Hao calmly saluted the Queen Mother and said, "Yes, Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Okay, let's go back to the palace!"
The cavalry commander was slightly surprised, glanced at Bai Hao, and ordered: "Prepare to return to the palace!"
"Yes!"
Concubine Xu didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so easy to talk to. Humph, wanting to let Bai Hao go? Impossible!
