Bai Yao saw that Tang Jinchuan seemed to understand and quickly waved her hand.""Don't think too much. I've just arrived. I'm not familiar with any of the harem members.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Bai Yao suddenly realized that she shouldn't say these words. Her personality was different from Nalan Baiqiong's, and in the future, she would definitely be seen through. Wasn't she deliberately digging a hole for herself by saying such words?
Tang Jinchuan was stunned, as if he did not notice the incongruity in Bai Yao's words. He only said,""I won't think blindly."
Bai Yao felt that the emotions in his words were a little strange. Only then did she realize that it was already very strange for a man and a woman to stand alone under the romantic cherry blossom tree. Don't treat the empress as a woman!
After finding an excuse, Bai Yao fled. She was really not ready to start a new relationship. With her relationship with Tang Jinchuan, she definitely had to avoid arousing suspicion!
When they returned to Asahi Palace, the female official who came to welcome them secretly told Bai Yao that the Empress Dowager had arrived.
Who was the empress dowager? She was Nalan Baiqiong's other creator. Bai Yao was very nervous, but she could only bite the bullet and enter.
The Empress Dowager was drinking tea. She looked up when she heard the voice. She was only in her thirties this year and had taken good care of herself. She did not look like Nalan Baiqiong's mother, but more like a sister who was three or four years older.
"Qiong 'er is here. Where did you go to play? You didn't even attend the morning court session.”Tang Xue waved at Bai Yao with a loving expression.
However, Bai Yao knew very well that Tang Xue was not as gentle as she looked. After Nalan Baiqiong died, Nalan Baiyao's opponent became her mother, who was much more powerful than Nalan Baiqiong.
Nalan Baiyao had spent a lot of effort to remove Tang Xue's authority.
Now, he was the one under pressure.
Bai Yao obediently walked over and sat down beside Tang Xue. She replied obediently,""I went to admire the cherry blossoms with Jinchuan."
"Oh?" Tang Xue also knew that Nalan Baiqiong had never cared about Tang Jinchuan. She was also a little surprised that he would actually go to cherry blossom viewing with him this time.
However, this was not important. She was only here to go through the motions and let Nalan Baiqiong feel her aura."It's good that you're interested, but you can't miss the morning court. The ministers have always been very critical of your female body. Qiong 'er, you should be cautious in everything.”
"I know." Bai Yao nodded in agreement and secretly slandered Nalan Baiqiong in her heart. Nalan Baiqiong is just a puppet shield. You can't wait for her to not interfere in political affairs, right?
Tang Xue didn't know what Bai Yao was thinking, so she nodded in satisfaction and left after saying a few words of concern.
Bai Yao sent her off and heaved a sigh of relief.
Without electronic products, time passed especially slowly. Bai Yao was not like Nalan Baiqiong, who liked to have fun, so she asked the female official to find some ancient books to read to pass the time.
Because she had eaten her breakfast late, Bai Yao didn't go for lunch. She waited happily for dinner.
When they reached the dining hall, Tang Jinchuan was also there. Bai Yao did not mind eating with him. After all, there were too many delicacies and it was impossible to finish them all. Other maids and attendants would not be able to sit at the table, so it was a little boring to eat alone.
After dinner, Bai Yao greeted Tang Jinchuan and headed back to her bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jinchuan held Bai Yao's hand and said half expectantly and half naturally,""Tonight, let this minister serve you."
Bai Yao was stunned. She pushed his hand away subconsciously and took two steps back.""No!"
With her loud voice, the female official's attendants knelt on the ground and fell silent.
After being rejected in front of so many people, Tang Jinchuan's face turned pale. He half-knelt and said self-mockingly,""I have overstepped my authority. The person Your Majesty is thinking of is not me.”
He had acted on impulse when he saw that Bai Yao was different today.
Seeing Tang Jinchuan's miserable expression, Bai Yao felt a headache.
He knew that something was going to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
To be honest, the person Bai Yao trusted the most was Tang Jinchuan. After all, her hands were cheap, and the outline only arranged for this person to be someone who truly loved Nalan Baiqiong.
However, Bai Yao couldn't respond to his feelings now.
Moreover, Tang Jinchuan was not in love. He was only doing his duty as Nalan Baiqiong's husband.
From Tang Jinchuan's tone, he probably misunderstood that Nalan Baiqiong liked someone else and didn't want her. How should she explain it? Who did Nalan Baiqiong like?
Bai Yao quickly sorted out her current situation in her mind. If she remembered correctly, the cause and effect of the poisoning incident was that Nalan Baiqiong had snatched Nalan Baiyao's blue-faced confidant. The handsome man Lou Chen entered the palace. Little did she know that this Lou Chen was actually an organization that loved to uphold justice in the martial arts world, the Lord of the White Tower.
That day when Nalan Baiqiong saw Lou Chen, it was actually a scheme between Nalan Baiyao and him. It was a risky move to let Lou Chen spy beside Nalan Baiqiong, who no one believed, and pour a cup of poisonous wine.
Originally, after Nalan Baiqiong received his lunch, the two of them had known each other and joined hands. After defeating Tang Xue, the two of them fell in love openly. Nalan Baiyao even named Lou Chen as the empress and created a prosperous world with him.
Nalan Baiqiong was lecherous and was quite patient with Lou Chen. He had always wanted to win the heart of a beauty, so he must have doted on Lou Chen a lot. Just like what the Flower Picking Lord said, although he spent five out of ten days elsewhere, in Tang Jinchuan's opinion, not forcing Lou Chen was what Nalan Baiqiong truly liked.
Therefore, even though he was as arrogant as Flower-pinching Lord, Tang Jinchuan was still more concerned about Nalan Baiqiong and Lou Chen.
Nalan Baiqiong hadn't even received her lunch box yet, and Lou Chen was still undercover beside Bai Yao, waiting to pour her a cup of poisoned wine. Bai Yao was terrified. She didn't know if her soul would return to her original body if she died.
His inexplicable soul transmigration had saved Nalan Baiqiong and disrupted their plans. They would definitely not let it go.
This was his own sin.
Bai Yao's mind was filled with this, and she actually forgot about Tang Jinchuan for a moment. She looked up and saw that Tang Jinchuan was still half-kneeling with a pale face. Her heart ached a little as she went forward to help him up and found an excuse to temporarily dismiss him."It's not like that. I still have some things to think about tonight. Can I call you to bed another day? Don't look like that."
Perhaps it was because she had been writing in the ancient style, Bai Yao felt that the way she spoke as a modern person was not suspicious.
Tang Jinchuan was still dignified and did not pester him.""In that case, I will take my leave first."
Bai Yao and the two of them left the dining hall and sat in their respective carriages, returning to their respective chambers.
The men carrying the palanquin were all burly and had serious expressions. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
Bai Yao wondered if she would die faster if she revealed that she wasn't Nalan Baiqiong, or if she would be assassinated by Nalan Baiyao.
Did Bai Yao want to die? Of course not!
After returning to her bedroom and taking a comfortable bath, Bai Yao curled up on the bed. Although the bed wasn't as soft as her Simmons, it was made of the best silk.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:55AM
