Chapter 14 Where is the thank-you gift?
Bai Qinghuan understood immediately:
"Today, I have to thank you, Your Highness. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get the engagement letter from Concubine Yun."
The emperor did not care about the matter. Although he agreed to cancel the engagement, Concubine Yun was in charge of the harem. If she pretended to obey and refused to give the engagement letter, she would be helpless in the short term.
In this era, one cannot get married without a Geng Tie.
Concubine Yun can control her very well.
It would be different if the Regent sent someone to ask for it.
Even though Concubine Yun had tremendous power in the harem, she did not dare to disobey the Regent.
You know, the Regent has always been the person she wanted to win over.
The Regent thought to himself: He is indeed smart.
"Where's the thank you gift?"
"ah?"
Bai Qinghuan didn't expect that he would openly ask for a thank-you gift, so she lowered her head in shame.
"I didn't bring it today."
Afraid that he would misunderstand that she was just making excuses, she quickly added:
"It must be delivered to the Regent's Palace before dark."
The Regent said nothing more and turned and left.
Only Shufeng saw the fleeting smile in his eyes.
Shu Feng really wanted to know what Miss Bai had said to the prince, as he really didn't dare to eavesdrop just now.
He turned around to look at Miss Bai who was still standing there watching the prince see him off. He felt it was magical. To be able to make the prince laugh, she must be an extraordinary person.
Miss Bai even broke off the engagement. Marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other.
Your Majesty, there is a purpose for you to say this, right? Right, right!
These two are definitely a talent!
He couldn't wait to find Xishun to share what happened today.
"My Lord, Miss Bai is still looking at you."
The Regent hummed and strode out.
But in the hand beneath her sleeve, she was gently twisting the beads that Bai Qinghuan had given her.
Biyun saw that the regent and his servant had left, so she dared to come over and whispered, "You really scared me to death, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Bai Qinghuan looked around and saw that there was no one around: "The medicine powders on the two people are different, and they are only trace amounts. Only when they hug each other will the medicinal properties be activated, and the imperial physician cannot find out."
"If they hadn't hugged each other, there wouldn't have been any of the things that happened later."
It's all your own fault.
In her previous life, she had heart disease and had difficulty going to school. She stayed at home for long periods of time and could only read books.
I read a lot of books of all kinds, especially medical books, which I read every day, hoping to cure my heart disease.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is half a doctor.
Her father doted on her and set up a pharmacy just for her. She didn't make many decent things, but she did make a lot of weird things.
She just didn't dare say anything because she was afraid that her father would scold her.
A little love potion, no problem.
The medicine purified by her is very effective. I think the Third Prince and Bai Qingyou have experienced it personally.
Today is actually also an experiment. If the imperial physician can find out the problem, it means that her medicine skills still need to be improved.
Of course, they have no evidence to prove that she was the one who drugged him.
"Go back."
The Regent went to the study in Prince Yu's mansion, and the Emperor was already drunk.
"Brother, the doctor said you can't drink alcohol."
"Life is all about enjoying life while it lasts."
The regent was helpless. This brother, who was of the same mother and twenty years older than him, was really busy practicing Taoism, refining elixirs and taking pills, and did whatever he wanted.
He is less than fifty years old, but his body is in such bad shape.
He won't listen to anyone's advice.
"Shufeng, carry my brother to the carriage."
As for King Yu, he drank so much that he fell asleep on the ground. There was no need for him to worry about him, as the Princess Yu would take care of him.
After seeing off the emperor and returning to the Regent's Palace, Shu Feng still asked the questions in his mind.
"My Lord, how did Miss Bai do it?"
The Regent was actually very curious as well, knowing that she was very smart, but the Imperial Aunt couldn't find any clues, which showed that she was quite capable.
"Go to Prince Yu's mansion and investigate quietly."
"yes."
"etc."
Shu Feng turned around: "My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"
"Whatever you found, erase all traces."
"yes."
The prince is really thoughtful. He does good deeds without leaving his name, and Miss Bai doesn’t know about it.
When he gets the chance, he will definitely tell Miss Bai.
Well, let’s do it!
The Regent replaced the necklace on his hand with the one Bai Qinghuan gave him, which was perfectly sized to fit his wrist.
“Good vision.”
You can accurately see the thickness of his wrist.
When he thought about the fact that this was something she had worn on her hand, undercurrents welled up in his eyes.
That's two circles. Her wrist is too thin. If he uses too much force, it will break, right?
He felt a little hot, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Xishun, take the charcoal out."
After Xishun finished carrying the charcoal, he came to serve tea. When he saw that the Regent had changed the beads in his hand, his mind started working quickly.
"Oh, Your Majesty, which girl gave it to you? I have never seen such a beautiful jade bead before. It is so elegant."
"Um."
He thought the prince would not answer, but he actually heard an affirmative answer, although it was only a small "hmm".
"Who is this girl? She has such good taste. It fits the prince's wrist perfectly and sets off her skin tone beautifully."
He praised her as much as he could, and this time he was definitely doing the right thing by flattering her.
"Keep an eye on the door before dark."
"ah?"
Xishun wanted to ask something else, but the Regent had already started dealing with memorials and stopped talking. He scratched his ears and cheeks out of curiosity.
"Where's that guy Shufeng?"
I really can't find anyone when I want to ask.
"No, I have to guard the door myself."
I looked up at the sky. It gets dark quickly in winter. It's already past noon, and it will be completely dark in two hours at most.
......
After Bai Qinghuan returned, he went to see Lu Wanning first and briefly told her what had happened today.
Naturally, she omitted the process of drugging herself, and just said that the Third Prince and Bai Qingyou couldn't help themselves, so she took the opportunity to call someone to cancel the engagement.
"I'm sorry for your hardship. When mom gets better, I will definitely find you a good husband."
Breaking off an engagement has little impact on men, but for women, it is difficult for a woman to get married after a breakup.
She doesn't ask her daughter to marry a rich and powerful man, as long as the family is well-off and treats her daughter well, she will accept it.
"Mom, don't worry. I have my own plans. Just take care of yourself."
"Did Aunt Zheng not come to trouble you?"
"No, she is busy."
"What are you busy with? Busy making money?"
"Today, the Bai clan leader brought people to ask for money. Steward Cui said that Aunt Zheng was the housekeeper, so he brought the people over. The clan leader asked for a huge sum of money, one thousand taels, and there was a commotion over there."
"One thousand taels? You are so bold to ask for that."
"In previous years, mother gave the Bai family two hundred taels of silver every month, which increased their appetites. Let her have a headache, and you can just focus on recuperating."
Lu Wanning also felt relieved. The Bai family and Bai Changhao were both equally scheming, and this time they would definitely be able to skin Bai Changhao alive.
"With Bai Qingyou's incident, she is even busier."
"Yes, if a little girl is carried into the Third Prince's mansion one day, she won't have a chance to come out."
Lu Wanning was actually still a little worried.
"The emperor has only two adult sons, the third prince and the fifth prince who is at the border. He has a great chance of winning."
When Bai Qingyou becomes the empress and takes revenge on Qinghuan, what will she do?
Since Qinghuan broke off the engagement with the Third Prince, His Majesty will never let her marry the Fifth Prince.
"That's all for the future. It's too early for you to worry about it."
Lu Wanning buried her worries in her heart and patted her hands:
"Yes, I'm tired after working for half a day. Let's go and take a rest."
......
Bai Qinghuan did not return to the yard, but went to the small kitchen of Mingyue Courtyard.
She had already thought of what gift to give to the Regent in return.
