C87 (2/2)

Startled, she smiled at the Empress and went to her carriage. Leaning against the carriage and watching these beautiful young mistresses whispering to each other, the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden. She had a nagging feeling that this trip to the Jade Cloud Temple was not as simple as a blessing, it was probably to help Dongfang Chen and the others choose their wives!

”Grandson greets Grandmother!”

After being quiet for a moment, he heard Dongfang Chen and Jun Mohan's voices, he could not help but look up, only to see the two of them looking exhausted, as though they had stayed up all night.

”Alright, it's been hard on you all. Since everyone is here, let's start! ”

Her Majesty raised a hand to them, signaling them to rise. Then she went into her carriage.

”Let's go …”

Following Eunuch Li's loud shout, the team slowly walked out of the city.

Bai Zhixi looked at Jun Mohan who was riding on his horse, with a face full of worry, it was extremely painful, he wanted to pacify the frown on his forehead.

Perhaps because she was too engrossed with her own thoughts, even when Bai Zhiru and the others left in the carriage, she did not feel a thing. When she turned around, there was no sign of her carriage. She could not help but feel discouraged. Without a carriage, could it be that she was walking to the Jade Cloud Temple?

This was obviously impossible.

”Xi Er, why don't you come with us!”

Just as he was thinking about how to find a horse to ride to the Jade Cloud Temple, Shangguan Jingyan's voice came from inside as he stopped a luxurious carriage.

Bai Zhi raised her head to look and saw Shangguan Jingyan, Dongfang Yao, Situ Lingwei and the two misses from the Apprentices' residence, Situ Lingxue, sitting in a carriage.

”I …”

”Cousin, it's already crowded enough for the four of us to sit in this carriage. If we sit alone again, who would be able to burden the princess with it?”

As Bai Zhixi just spoke, he didn't want to be interrupted by Situ Lingwei. Looking at the disdainful yet murderous Situ Lingwei, her ruthless words seemed so natural.

”This princess doesn't want to go with someone who has ill intentions. Hmph …”

Dongfang Yao frowned. Her red lips curled up as she covered her mouth with the handkerchief, as if she was the black-hearted monster that contaminated her eyes.

”Princess Yao, you misunderstand, Xi Er is not such a person. Now that the carriage has gone far and there are no more carriages left to sit on, let her go with us! ”

Shangguan Jingyan's face was now filled with worry, as he pleaded to Dongfang Yao, who was sitting beside him.

”Jing Yan, you are too naive to be tricked by her. Seeing that Chong'er and the others weren't with her, it must be because she was usually too crafty and arrogant, abandoning her own kin. Let's not worry about her. Let's hurry up and catch up with her! Otherwise, I'll be scolded again. ”

After Bai Zhixi heard Dongfang Yao's words, he instantly understood that they had forbidden him to sit in the carriage.

”Then... Go, I will go with Xi Er. ”

Shangguan Jingyan's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed, she anxiously looked at the carriage that had long since left, and at that moment, it was no longer there.

”Come back and sit down, Lin. Hurry up and go.” ”Don't try to be tainted by this bad luck …”

Just as Shangguan Jingyan stood up, he was pulled back by Dongfang Yao onto the horse carriage with a ”bang”. Instantly, his body went soft, and he slowly fell down.

”Jing Yan …”

Seeing that, Bai Zhixi shouted to the horse carriage to follow, but the horse carriage galloped forward like a wild horse and disappeared from her sight.

The streets of the city had long since become deserted. The only sound that could be heard was the rumbling of carriages as they passed by. After exiting the city, the carriage headed towards the outskirts of the city.

All of a sudden, she was the only one left standing at her original spot in the crowded city gate. A cold wind blew, causing her heart to ache. Her heart was cold, and she could see through people's hearts.

”Come up! ”The empress dowager hates those who don't keep to the rules of time the most. If you go back to your residence now, that would be the crime of deceiving the monarch. You'll have to execute everyone in your family.”

Hearing such a familiar voice, Bai Zhixi suddenly turned back, only to see Jun Mohan's carriage stopped in front of him.

Under the sunlight, an elegant carriage slowly flashed past. The carriage was also made of fine rosewood, and on all four sides, it was carved with exquisite prints. The golden window lattices were covered by a curtain of dark red crepe, making it impossible for people outside the carriage to find out what exactly was this gorgeous and unreachable carriage.

Bai Zhixi curled his lips and climbed into the carriage without a word. She was someone that the empress dowager had appointed personally to begin with. If she did not go to the Jade Cloud Temple this time, wouldn't that be dishonoring the empress dowager? To sweep away the face of the royal family?

Like this, the Prime Minister's Estate that was surrounded by four sides would no longer have any place to stay. Although she didn't like the rest of the people in Prime Minister's Estate, she also didn't want her Prime Minister's Estate to become a river of blood because of her.
