C93 (2/2)
When Bai Zhixi heard this, a wry smile appeared on his dried up lips. She knew that the empress dowager was trying to put her under house arrest.
However, the thought of Shangguan Jing being injured by her and now lying unconscious in bed, she could not help but blame herself.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager, I'd like to see Jing Yan, is that possible?”
Bai Zhixi forced himself not to feel well as he knelt in front of the empress dowager, begging her.
”You're not qualified!”
As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and headed towards Shangguan Jingyan's residence.
Ever since she accidentally injured Shangguan Jingyan, there were only the two of them in the courtyard that the three of them used to live in.
”Miss, let's go back!”
Zi Li carefully helped her up, his eyes filled with pain.
”Zi Li, do you still have something to say to me?”
Bai Zhixi said indifferently.
Looking at the evasive look in the little girl's eyes, he knew that she must have something to hide from him.
”Miss, forget it!”
Zi Li thought that he hid his strength well, and upon hearing her say this, he hesitated. He didn't know whether he should tell her or not.
”Speak, you should know my character.”
Returning back to the small courtyard, Bai Zhixi laid on the ground and listened to what Zi Li had to say about what had happened in the temple.
So it turned out that Shangguan Jingyan was actually the Empress as calculated by Master Pu Hai.
Hearing this, Bai Zhixi was not very surprised. With Shangguan Jingyan's talent, she should be the one sitting in the Empress's seat.
On the other hand, because her life was too tough, the empress dowager directly ordered her to never do anything else.
She did not want to be infected with the royal aura and did not want to participate in the battle of the palace, which was filled with the miasma of smoke. She was extremely pleased with this outcome.
Although the empress dowager did not publicly say what Shangguan Jingyan wanted to say, all the young ladies living in the temple already knew about it.
He went to see if he could enter the palace and become his concubine. Even if he didn't want to, he would still be rejected.
The most difficult person to accept was none other than Bai Zhiru. When he heard that Shangguan Jingyan was the future Empress, he shattered a lot of precious china in the temple.
Relying on her status as the empress's goddaughter, she beat up several ladies in the same courtyard.
When the Empress Dowager learned of this matter, she was enraged. On that day, she secretly sent someone back to capital.
Master Rupu's words were, ”This woman's fate is too tough, she cannot be left behind.” Otherwise, it will bring disaster to the common people. ”
Because of this, Bai Zhixi became the champion of the Bane, and many mistresses avoided her like snakes and scorpions.
There were even rumors in the temple that Shangguan Jingyan had trusted the wrong person, which was why she had caused him to fall unconscious.
Dongfang Chen did not hesitate to travel a thousand miles in order to obtain the medicinal ingredients for Shangguan Jingyan. He did not want to be ambushed on the way and get injured in the arm by the hidden arrow.
The empress dowager had naturally placed all of this on Bai Zhixi and believed that it was due to her karmic luck that her grandson was injured. She had already ordered her to not take even half a step out of the courtyard.
After Bai Zhixi heard this, he felt that it was extremely funny.
However, this also saved her some trouble. There was no need to worry about getting caught up in the whirlpool.
At night, the silence was like still water, so cold that it seeped into his heart.
Bai Zhixi lied on his bed as he thought about the events of the day.
Two days later, it would be the annual Blessing Festival, the day that the Jade Cloud Temple would be opened to the public.
Early in the morning, the monks of the Bi Yun Temple had just opened the gates to the mountain. One by one, the people that had been waiting outside the entire day entered the temple.
Immediately, the quiet and secluded temple was filled with a sea of people, bustling with noise and excitement.
”Miss, today is the day that Biyun Temple opens its doors to the public. Let's go and beg the Seven Holy Trees!” May the young miss recover quickly and be with her beloved. ”
Appearance?
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi's face had a bitter smile, he was afraid that she no longer had the qualifications to talk about such a relationship.
Ever since the rumors started circulating, he had never appeared by his side again. Presumably, he was just afraid of those rumors.
”Alright!”
After a long while, the beauty in the mirror was like a painting, and her red lips were like an orchid as she spoke.
Bai Zhixi brought Zi Li to the door, and met the approaching Shangguan Jingyan head on.
”Xi Er...”
Bai Zhixi was about to turn around, but he didn't want to be chased over.
”Miss Shangguan, please let go. You and I are not familiar with each other. ”
Bai Zhixi turned around, his eyes as calm as still water. The words were like icicles, cold enough to pierce the bones.
”Xi Er, you must believe me, I am not the one who said those rumors. Even if you hurt me accidentally, I don't blame you. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Jingyan's beautiful face showed anxiousness. It wasn't easy for her to meet a friend she could befriend, so she didn't want to miss it like this.
”Jing Yan, you and I are no longer the young miss of the Tai Bei Manor and Prime Minister's Estate. You are the chosen one to be the Empress chosen by Master Pu Hai, and I … It was a bane that made people avoid it like snakes and scorpions. Since you see me as your friend, you should stay away from me. Sometimes, in the face of the glory of a family, what we call love and friendship can't be counted on, can it? ”Remember, cherish everything you have!”
Bai Zhixi held Shangguan Jingyan's hand and said gently.
She was well aware that Shangguan Jingyan genuinely loved Dongfang Chen and had nothing to do with the position of Empress.
