After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 166
With a soft voice, Bai Zhiqi's ears were slightly red, "I just came to thank Your Majesty for the reward." But her eyes were fixed on the pearl hairpin on Ruan Yuyi's hair.

"Miss Bai is polite," she said softly, as if she hadn't noticed Bai Zhiqi's thoughts at all, "It's just that Your Majesty never said that she wanted to come here. Why don't Miss Bai go to His Majesty's yard to look for it."

It's best to hold him back.She lowered her eyes.

Bai Zhiqi glanced at her suspiciously, he didn't believe that she was sincerely giving advice for him, but it was just that she wanted to distract herself, so she didn't want to move.

Ruan Yuyi saw her thoughts and cast a glance at the palace servants nearby.

There is no one who can be close to the new emperor who is inactive.The palace man immediately testified, "Your Majesty is indeed dealing with business in the courtyard at this time."

Only now did Bai Zhiqi believe it, and leaned forward, "Thank you for your advice, sister."

She left with her maid beside her, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the hot spring behind her.Ruan Yuyi has entered the depths of the bamboo forest, leaving her cautious confidant outside.

She clenched her hands slightly.This is her most favorable opportunity, and she must seize it before she can cling to the royal family, consolidate her position for her aunt, and win for herself.

Just now the palace servant came up to her in short steps and said to her, "Miss Bai, I will lead you there."

Putting on airs, Bai Zhiqi stared at the palace servants, and squeezed out the word "um" from his nostrils.

Walking to the courtyard where the new emperor was, he was stopped by guards at the door.The spear was shining coldly, and it was lying in front of her. The guard with the spear had a serious face, and he didn't care about her reason for coming, and had no intention of talking to her.

Startled, Bai Zhiqi took two steps back subconsciously, before smiling, "I'm here to see His Majesty."

The guard said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty has ordered that no one should enter without permission."

She tightened her fingertips, and passed a glance to the servant girl, who brought over a bulging purse.She took it, and leaned against the guard, pressing his iron-like forearm against her chest.

"Brother, please be considerate. I do have an important matter with His Majesty." She spoke sweetly, like preserved fruit with too much icing sugar.She stuffed the purse into his belt.

The guard's eyes were slightly loose, but he took a step back and looked straight ahead, "Young lady, you have to respect yourself. Your Majesty has said that no one except Ruan Jieyu is allowed to enter and disturb you."

The purse fell to the ground.

Bai Zhiqi gathered the hem of her skirt, bent down to pick it up, almost unable to maintain that smiling face.

Ruan Jieyu...it's Ruan Jieyu again.She suddenly grinned, and the chi chi sound was creepy.Could it be that she, Bai Zhiqi, is no better than a little hoof who was once a married woman.

How willing she is.

She raised her eyes, spotted the opening, and rushed in without hesitation.She doesn't want to go back to Bai's house, she doesn't want to be looked down upon by her father, and she doesn't want to be stepped on by her concubine sister all the time.

She stepped on the hem of the skirt that dragged the floor, and fell to the ground, hearing the sound of the clothes being torn, and her nails digging into the mud.

Looking up, a pair of forged boots stood calmly in front of her.She looked happy, and when she saw the man's smiling face, she said "Your Majesty" in her throat, unable to move up or down.

Wen Zhi raised the corners of his lips and stared at her, "Young girl's smiling face is a bit too fake - you have to be like our family to pass the test." It was full of chill.

Bai Zhiqi trembled so violently that he even forgot to get up.

He smiled freely, "Take it out."

"Yes." The guard hurried forward and picked up Bai Zhiqi from the ground.Standing up, the torn hem of the skirt was just exposed, and the snow-white inner lining was faintly visible.

Huayi Pool.

The pool in front of you is about the size of ten mats, filled with mist, surrounded by mountains and rocks, and there are jade carvings on the edge of the pool, with spring water pouring out of its mouth, like an endless stream.

Flowers floated on the white water, swaying leisurely, gathering or scattering.

Ruan Yuyi took off her cloak, handed it to Mu Xiang, asking her to stay outside the bamboo forest.She looked around, feeling a little sad in her heart, and sighed secretly, even if it was a palace, it was as extravagant as the imperial city.

What she didn't know was that the scene in front of her was nothing compared to the previous one.Although the first emperor was fairly diligent in governing, this made the country stable, but the name of emphasizing desires is well known all over the world.

In the imperial city at that time, gold was the bricks under the feet, jade was the playing stone, and countless beauties once sat on the chair for the late emperor.

Ming Chen remonstrated, and all of them were stopped outside Hua Palace.At the same time, the little prince at that time kept sending beauties, gold and jade to the new emperor for him to have fun, secretly infiltrating power into the late emperor's side.

These are all secrets in the palace, Ruan Yuyi naturally does not know.

She walked towards the hot spring step by step.

The thin gauze dress wraps around her body, outlining her slender forearm looming, while walking, the skirt flutters, revealing her white jade-like ankle and the ankle chain tied on it.

Because she is still a little hot, her body is pink, and the water is red and beautiful, which makes her complexion glow.

She squatted down and put her hand into the pool.The water was warm, even a little overheated, and she withdrew her hand when she touched the surface of the water.

Following the platform, she stepped into the pool slowly, and the spring water came up, like washing and curdling fat.The gauze floats on the water, holding the fallen flowers, which is better than a hibiscus in full bloom.And under the water surface, I don't know what kind of beautiful scene it is.

The wind blows the flowers and falls, and many residual petals are added to the pool.

She waited upright, but there was no sign of him for a long time.

One side of the bamboo leaves were crackling, the setting sun had lost its last ray of light, and the surrounding was extremely silent. She listened to the sound of her breathing, and climbed to the edge of the pool, her complexion becoming more and more flushed.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it was due to repeated fevers, she just felt dizzy in her head, as if something was stirring in it, making her unable to think.Her eyelids were heavy and her hands gradually lost strength.

Su Bai's hand holding the edge of the pool loosened, and she fell into the water.The water-red gauze was also pushed into the water due to her weight.

In a daze, she seemed to see a black figure walking quickly.

The spring water rushed into her mouth and nose, she closed her eyes and relaxed her eyebrows, like an unconscious white porcelain doll, quiet, pale and lifeless.

Jiang Huaiyang didn't care about changing clothes, jumped into the water to pick up the person, and scolded, "In such shallow water, how can you die?"

She choked a few times, coughed a few times, and then slightly opened her eyes, a little dazed.

He thought she was trying to kill herself?
There was still a tearing pain in her throat, and she couldn't speak for a while, and she didn't know whether it was tears or water on her cheeks, but her eyes were red.She vaguely realized that she would feel unwell due to staying in the pool for a long time.

But he didn't expect that she would fall into the water as soon as he came, and seeing that she fell into the water without struggling, he thought that she was planning to commit suicide.

Why didn't he know that she was depressed recently, and he could also see that she had been avoiding him.

He lowered his head, held her jade-like earlobes, and lowered his voice, "If I come to help you." He sent each word into her ears, as if coaxing her.
