Chapter 48
Guogong Mansion.

"What! The empress is dead?!" Duke Bai Xiao stood up when he heard the news of Concubine Linggui's death.

"Crack!" The teacup held by Bai Yueying fell to the ground, and she walked up to Xiao Lanzi, who was delivering the message, and said, "Auntie is dead? How could Auntie die?!"

Bai Xiao quickly stepped forward and pulled Bai Yueying behind him, glaring at her angrily.

Xiao Lanzi is Bei Gonglie's confidant, seeing his casual appearance, without any sadness in his eyes, there must be something wrong.

Bai Yueying hesitated to speak, bit her lips tightly, and remained silent.

Xiao Lanzi glanced at her, and then said: "Concubine Ling Gui tried to murder the emperor. The emperor has been poisoned for more than four months. If it weren't for the clever girl in the Prince's Mansion who discovered the clue, the consequences would be unimaginable! After the emperor found out, he personally ended it." Concubine Ling, right now the servant is ordered by the emperor to arrest the Duke and interrogate him severely, if the Duke is an accomplice of Concubine Ling, he will be punished together!"

"Eunuch Lan, you've been wronged!" Bai Xiao's face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Even though Concubine Ling Gui is his own sister, he is completely unaware of her plan to murder Bei Gonglie, which will make him miserable!

"Whether Bai Guogong was wronged or not is up to the emperor to decide, take him away." Eunuch Lan ordered the attendants behind him, and the two attendants walked behind Bai Xiao.

"Father!" Bai Yueying immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bai Xiao's arm.

Bai Xiao frowned and shook his head slightly at her.

In such a situation, she can't be implicated because of impulsiveness!
Bai Yueying bit her lips tightly, watching Bai Xiao leave with tears in her eyes.

Returning to calm, Bai Yueying's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

I also met Chu Jiaoli in the shooting arena today, seeing her submissive appearance will not cause any disturbance.

Who would have thought that just now she would lose the aunt who loved her the most, and her father might be in danger...

She was so angry that her body trembled, and she gritted her teeth viciously. This revenge is her fate!

A servant girl stepped into the door and said, "Miss San, someone from Qi Shizi's residence has sent a letter."

Bai Yueying suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said, "Is it Shizi Qi's?"

If Beigong Qianqiu wants to help, there will be a way to save the current situation!
The maid shook her head and said, "It's a letter from Miss Xiang Lianyi, the daughter of the Xianghou Mansion."

Hearing this, Bai Yueying frowned impatiently.

She is the most useless of the three daughters of the Xianghou Mansion, she came to her because she must help her deal with Chu Jiaoxing.

If it was the day before, she would have been in great interest, but now that such a big thing happened, she is not in the mood.

After thinking about it, she waved her hand and said, "Take it and burn it, I don't want to read it, tell Xiang Lianyi, don't bother me if you have anything to do."

"Yes."

The next day.

The morning light fell on every corner of the imperial capital, and after all the courtiers made their morning court, Bei Gonglie left Bei Gong Teng Xiao for a while to play a game of chess with him.

It was past time when we walked out of the Qingxin Hall.

Beigong Tengxiao, who was dressed in court clothes, stepped out of the threshold, and on the wide and smooth road paved with stone bricks, a familiar girl in Tsing Yi walked towards her.

He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, the time she stayed in the palace was getting longer every day.

Seeing Beigong Tengxiao who was about to leave, seeing his gloomy eyes, Chu Jiaoli was slightly taken aback for a moment, then bowed her head and bowed her knees to salute, then brushed past him.

She bit her lip tightly, her heart throbbing, today he invited Xiang Yini to perform a dance for Bei Gonglie.

The meeting was just in a hurry like a flash in the pan. After all, she and him took two completely different paths. After that, they will only drift away gradually.

Beigong Tengxiao walked a few steps, and saw Xiao Lanzi walking in front of him with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Highness, the Emperor likes the pretty girl right now, but this servant has a suggestion, let's go!" For the emperor's birthday banquet at the end of the month, why not present the girl Jiaoli as a gift to the emperor, the emperor will be delighted!"

"Slap!" Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and slapped him hard.

Xiao Lanzi staggered and fell to the ground, touched his swollen cheeks, and immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed: "Your Highness, calm down!"

Beigong Tengxiao leaned over and grabbed his collar, his gloomy eyes made him break out in cold sweat, and said: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will never forgive you lightly."

Xiao Lanzi nodded quickly, and said: "Yes, yes, yes! This slave is talkative for a while! I won't dare to talk nonsense anymore!"

"Hmph." Beigong Tengxiao snorted coldly, threw him against the wall, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The long day is coming to an end, the sky is lit with fire clouds, and the shadows of pedestrians on the street are stretched out.

Beigong Tengxiao walked quickly in front, without paying any attention to the girl behind him.

Xiang Yini frowned slightly, panting slightly unaccustomed to keeping up with Bei Gong Teng Xiao's pace.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Beigong Tengxiao didn't want to stay with her any longer, but as if he was trying to prove to someone that the two of them had a good relationship, he insisted on not being separated.

Walking into a tea shop, Beigong Tengxiao went to the private room on the second floor, and Xiang Yini immediately caught up.

She pursed her lips tightly, not wanting him to see her panting, she walked slowly to the chair and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea.

After a long time, it slowly calmed down.

She quietly twisted the sore ankle in the hem of the skirt, with the appropriate smile still on her face, calm and dignified.

Beigong Tengxiao stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the sunset in the sky, sighed softly, and said, "Miss Xiang, I'm really sorry, I'm using you."

Hearing this, Xiang Yini showed a gentle smile and said, "It is a great honor to be used by His Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao raised his brows slightly, looked sideways at her, and said, "Aren't you annoyed? Bengong told you clearly, I don't have any affection for you, and I will invite you today, just for fun."

"Yinni understands." Xiang Yini looked at Beigong Tengxiao and said, "However, Yini is very happy, being able to help His Highness proves that Yingni is still useful, so Your Highness does not have to worry about Yingni, and Yingni will not cause misunderstandings and entanglement to you."

Beigong Tengxiao sighed lightly, and said: "This way, I can feel relieved."

Xiang Yini smiled faintly, and said: "Your Highness, you can always rest assured that you are charming."

Beigong Tengxiao walked up to her, put a small silver ingot on the table, and said: "If you want anything, send Xiao Er to come over, I will leave first."

Xiang Yini stood up and bowed to him, saying: "Your Highness, go slowly."

When Beigong Tengxiao went downstairs, Huan Pei behind Xiang Yini frowned, and whispered: "Miss, Your Highness, this is too much..."

"I think it's great." Xiang Yini took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Instead of stalking and annoying His Highness, why don't you work harder and become His Highness's eternal safe haven? At that time, His Highness will naturally be inseparable." Excuse me, with my status, won't it be easy to win the title of concubine?"
