Chapter 13: The Runaway Becomes a Concubine
Bai Qinghuan explained anxiously: "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I am innocent."
She was about to cry again and even forgot to turn the Regent's beads.
How could there be so much water in the woman's eyes?
Bai Changhao was anxious and raised his hand to slap Bai Qinghuan. Bai Qinghuan turned pale: "Your Majesty, help me!"
He was so scared that he hid behind the Regent.
The Regent gave him a cold look.
"Prime Minister Bai, are you going to beat someone up in front of His Majesty and me?"
"Your Majesty, Prince, this wicked girl is really abominable. She actually plotted against her own fiancé and sister."
"Where's the evidence?"
The Third Prince: "..."
Could he say the note was destroyed?
"I still remember the maid who delivered the message."
"Call the maidservant of Prince Yu's palace, and the imperial physician."
Soon, the maids lined up in a row, and the Third Prince looked around but didn't see anyone.
"No?"
"Uncle, the maid must have been afraid of being recognized, so she hid herself in advance."
Princess Yu snorted coldly: "Third Prince, all eighty-five maids in my Prince Yu's Palace are here."
The third prince was very upset, how could it be that there was nothing?
How could he know that the maid was Biyun in disguise?
Biyun was rescued by Lu Wanning from the opera troupe. She had learned some martial arts since she was a child, and she also knew a little bit of disguise. Although her skills were not very advanced, they were enough to fool the Third Prince.
The imperial physician rushed over from the palace and said, "Your Highness, Prince."
"Check if there is anything unusual in the room." The imperial physician hurried into the room and came out soon.
"There's no scent of love incense in it."
Bai Qingyou couldn't believe it: "Impossible."
"Oh, and our clothes."
The imperial physician checked the outer garments on the floor of the room again and shook his head.
Bai Qinghuan stepped out from behind the Regent, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief: "See, it really wasn't me. My sister and the Third Prince might have been unable to help themselves."
The third prince was so angry that he almost died. When did Bai Qinghuan become so eloquent?
What does "can't help" mean? Does it mean that he is a drunkard and womanizer who can't control his lower body?
"you..."
The curse was choked back by the regent's eyes.
Bai Qingyou sat on the ground in frustration, muttering: Impossible, Impossible...
Bai Changhao is very good at scheming, but he will not do anything in vain. For now, regardless of whether Bai Qinghuan planned it or not, he must fight for a status for Bai Qingyou.
"Your Majesty, my daughter..."
"Royal brother, you handle it. I'm going to the study to find my uncle."
The emperor's uncle must be hiding away alone again, drinking good wine.
In fact, he was really impatient to deal with these things.
The regent exposed him directly: "Your Majesty is a monk, so it is not appropriate for you to drink alcohol."
The emperor paused for a moment: "...I know."
It's just that the tone isn't that tough.
It seems like running away.
Bai Changhao was helpless. He was used to the emperor's behavior of giving up at any time, so he could only ask for help from the regent: "Regent..."
"The one who is engaged is the wife, the one who escapes is the concubine. What do you think the second young lady should be given?"
"this..."
You said that the one who ran away would become a concubine. Although it was not elopement, it was having sex without a matchmaker, which is no different from elopement.
If it were any other family, he would have used his power to firmly sit on the position of the first wife.
But this is the third prince.
"According to the Regent?"
"The second young lady of the Bai family will be the concubine of the third prince and will enter the palace on a chosen day."
Bai Qingyou suddenly raised his head: "No..."
The Regent glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't want to? Then you can only cut your hair and live out your life in a nunnery with green lamps and ancient Buddhas."
Bai Changhao wanted to plead again, but he was afraid of the power of the Regent and dared not say anything.
The Regent had killed countless people on the battlefield, and he was filled with murderous aura, so he didn't dare touch him.
The third prince was like a quail, not saying a word.
If the emperor were here, he would dare to beg for mercy, but the regent is too cruel, so he doesn't dare.
Bai Qingyou has to admit it whether he wants to or not.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Your servant...is willing!"
Shufeng and Biyun moved quickly and returned it in front of the Regent.
"From now on, men and women getting married will have nothing to do with each other."
He even threw the Third Prince's engagement letter directly in his face, ignoring his ugly expression.
The Third Prince concealed his hatred by bowing his head. How dare someone humiliate him like this? When he ascended the throne, he would definitely kill the Regent.
Bai Qinghuan suppressed her joy and bowed to the Regent:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Regent's eyelids twitched when he heard her utter these three words with several inflections, as if he was afraid that others would not know that she was happy.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Let's all go."
Soon, the Regent and Bai Qinghuan were the only ones left in the yard, along with Shufeng and Biyun, the kneeling Third Prince, and Bai Qingyou.
"Your Highness, the yard is dirty. Can we move to the lake?"
"Can."
Bai Qingyou is angry and dirty?
Where is she dirty? Ahhhh…
"Third Prince...what should we do?"
The Third Prince knew that no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to capture Bai Qingyou and seize the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Qingyou, you've been wronged. Although you are nominally a concubine, once you become pregnant, I will definitely promote you to be a concubine."
"We will have a future."
Bai Qingyou was moved to tears: "Thank you, Your Highness. I feel no grievance to be with you."
......
Outside the courtyard, Biyun wanted to follow her own girl, but Shufeng held her back, signaling that the master had something to say and she should not be a third wheel.
Pulled her to the side.
Bai Qinghuan followed the Regent and when they reached the lake, the Regent stopped. Bai Qinghuan was thinking about how to give the gift.
I didn't notice the person in front of me stopped and just bumped into him.
"ah..."
My nose was aching, and tears started to flow uncontrollably for a moment. I wiped them away pitifully.
She put her hands down, her nose red.
The Regent looked so adorable, if you ignored the accusation in her eyes.
She muttered, "The prince's back is too hard."
The Regent pretended not to hear: "What did you say?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to thank you for saving my life last time."
She rolled up her sleeves, took off the larger string of beads that were wrapped in two circles on her hand, held it in her palm, and handed it over carefully.
"This is the pattern I designed, as a token of my gratitude."
The Regent took it and his fingers casually ran across her palm.
Bai Qinghuan felt as if he had been electrocuted, very numb, and withdrew his hand and hid it in his sleeve.
The Regent turned the beads around and took his own string back.
The jade beads were still stained with her body temperature, which was warm and had a hint of orchid fragrance.
Looking at her white wrist, there was still one string left. It was obvious that they were made of the same material and the shape of the beads was the same.
Something strange flashed through my mind, but it didn't stay.
"This king has accepted it."
"What about today?"
