Chapter 217 Thunder Explodes
"Qing Huan, let me buy all your lip balm from now on."
Bai Qinghuan didn't understand what he meant?
She owns a shop selling rouge and powder, so why should he worry about this?
"Um?"
It's not impossible for him to buy things for her. Buying her some gold, silver, pearls, jade, rouge and powder is also a way of showing that he likes her.
Then he continued:
"But there is one thing, you have to give me some back every day."
Coupled with the way he touches his lips, they look as greasy as can be.
Bai Qinghuan was horrified. How did Chi Ming become like this?
Why is he the same as the greasy uncle in my previous life?
She grabbed Chi Ming's collar and shook him back and forth:
"Who are you? Give me back that cold Chi Ming!"
Chi Ming laughed out loud at her funny actions.
Bai Qinghuan was so scared that she stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth.
"Keep your voice down. What if someone finds out?"
I quickly looked at the door and felt relieved when I saw no one coming in.
After I realized what was happening, I felt a little embarrassed.
Why do I feel like I'm stealing someone's money?
It’s really Chi Ming’s fault!
Chi Ming also enjoyed this sneaky feeling. No, it should be said that he enjoyed this sneaky feeling with her.
Then he started laughing quietly and couldn't stop for a long time.
......
The rumors spread out of the capital within a day, radiated to all parts of the country, and spread across the country within a few days.
To the point where it became known to everyone.
Some people naturally didn't believe it, such as the soldiers and ordinary people in the northwestern frontier, and the ordinary people in Fuzhou.
Almost everyone who has met the Regent believes in his character.
To take a step back, even if the regent usurped the throne, they believed it was because the current emperor was incompetent, not because of the regent's evil ambitions.
If the regent succeeds to the throne, the country will surely be prosperous, the people will be strong, the government will be stable, the people will be harmonious, and the seas and rivers will be peaceful.
They look forward to it.
Then two voices emerged in Dongxi, arguing with each other.
At noon on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Shufeng came hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Yun Yizhi escaped."
"I am guilty of not keeping a close eye on him."
Chi Ming did not blame him. Judging from Yun Yizi's shrewdness, he must have prepared many routes to escape.
After all, the number of their secret guards is limited, so it is understandable that they cannot keep an eye on them.
"From which direction?"
"After he disappeared, the secret guards went to investigate and found a secret passage under his bed that led to the outside of the city."
"From Yun Mansion to outside the capital?"
It’s not something that can be achieved in a day.
"Retreat? Withdraw everyone."
"Your Majesty, there are still many people in the Yun Mansion. He escaped alone."
"Let's withdraw. Just make sure the others don't leave the capital."
If Yun Yizi escapes on his own, he will definitely not care about the life and death of his family members.
He must have been heading south.
"Where did Yun Sizhao go?"
"Our people secretly took him out of southern Yunnan. To avoid alerting the enemy, the secret guards put on human skin masks and pretended to be him."
"Well, tell him to find out the relationship between southern Yunnan and Nanzhao."
"yes."
Bai Qinghuan felt that a storm was coming, and if Yun Yizi escaped, he would not give up easily.
But he is also a ruthless person who doesn't even want his family.
Not to mention the exiled Yun Yuyan, who is still waiting for her father to rescue her.
Unfortunately, all the expectations are destined to be wasted!
Time quickly came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Bai Qinghuan still remembered the thunder incident that Yun Shiwei had mentioned.
So, as soon as it got dark, Lu Wanning and Bai Moxuan were dragged out to the yard to admire the lanterns.
Chi Ming was also worried about the palace, so he went to the emperor's bedroom.
He also called Chi Yu's entire family to the palace.
If they are not paying attention when it thunders, they will be in big trouble if they are struck by lightning.
Bai Moxuan originally wanted to go out and take a look, but Bai Qinghuan pretended to be unwell and asked him to stay at home.
Bai Moxuan is also sensible. He wants to spend more time with his sister, so he says he will go next year.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the moon is high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines in the courtyard, covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
The yard was already hung with all kinds of lanterns, decorating the entire yard like a dreamy fairyland.
Above the main entrance hangs a pair of huge palace lanterns, with red silk cloth embroidered with exquisite floral patterns, swaying gently in the breeze.
The light from the palace lantern shone through the delicate silk, casting a soft and warm glow, illuminating Bai Moxuan's smiling face.
"Sister, this is beautiful."
“This one looks good, too.”
“And this…”
"Xiaoxuan has good taste~"
Along the corridors of the courtyard, lanterns of various shapes are arranged in sequence.
The animal lanterns are lifelike, the crane lantern is spreading its wings as if ready to fly, the phoenix lantern is dazzling, and the jade rabbit lantern is cute. Under the light, they seem to come alive, adding a lively atmosphere to the yard.
The peony lanterns are gorgeous, the lotus lanterns are fresh and refined, and the plum blossom lanterns stand proudly in the snow and frost. Each flower seems to be competing to bloom, vying with each other in beauty and emitting charming brilliance.
Bai Moxuan was dazzled by the sight of his servant boy, as well as many younger children from the family, running back and forth among the lanterns.
The excited little faces are all red, more beautiful than any lanterns.
The laughter echoed throughout the yard, making the adults smile when they heard it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Qinghuan took her arm.
"Mom, I haven't seen enough, but I'm a little tired. How about we hang all the lights in the house?"
She had already noticed that the sky was turning faintly purple.
Purple is the color of lightning.
Lu Wanning didn't pay much attention to it, so she naturally accepted her daughter's request: "Okay, there's no room for so many, let's just pick a few nice ones."
Bai Qinghuan waved towards Bai Moxuan at the same time: "Xiaoxuan, come here."
The mother and her two children each picked up two lamps and went into the house.
Before entering the house, Bai Qinghuan told everyone to go inside and come out early tomorrow morning.
The servants didn't understand why, but they still went back obediently.
Anyway, there is no master more kind than the one in the county lady’s mansion.
The master will definitely not harm them.
With permission, I went back into the house, lantern in hand, to admire the lanterns.
The night was as thick as ink, the moon hung high in the sky, and everything was quiet and silent except for the gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves.
Suddenly, a loud thunder exploded abruptly, the sound was like the collapse of the sky and the earth, shaking people's hearts violently.
Then, thunder rolled in, like a lit powder keg, and it was out of control.
Inside the room, Bai Moxuan was holding a small lamp and admiring it. When thunder sounded, his hand trembled and the lamp fell directly to the ground.
Lu Wanning quickly hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxuan."
Bai Moxuan is still young after all, and his face is a little pale.
Bai Qinghuan also touched his head and comforted him.
"It's okay, my sister is here."
Pearl stood at the door, on high alert, fearing that something might go wrong.
The sound of thunder was so loud that Lu Wanning was a little frightened.
"Qing Huan, I've never seen such a loud thunder in winter. Even in summer, it's never been this loud."
"Is this a bad omen?"
