Chapter 76 Liu Yu is willing to fall into the trap
Prince Qi's Mansion, on the way to Prince Qi's bedroom.
Bai Wei was wearing a Pipa brocade skirt and a gilded hairpin on her head. Behind her was a maid with double buns and a food box in her hand as she went to Prince Qi's study.
People bowed to him wherever he passed.
The smile on Bai Wei's lips gradually widened.
When was she the one who saw her master and needed to pay respect?
Now, the servants in Prince Qi’s mansion would greet her without any hesitation and call her Madam Bai.
Just a few months ago, she dressed up according to Liu Yu's instructions and wandered around Prince Qi's mansion every day, just to have a chance encounter with Prince Qi.
Just ten days ago, Prince Qi finally noticed her and brought her into Prince Qi's Mansion. Prince Qi favored her smoothly and she became the most favored Mrs. Bai in Prince Qi's Mansion.
Although she didn't know what Liu Yu was going to do, so what!
As long as she becomes Prince Qi's concubine, she will not be afraid of Liu Yu.
She played with the note she had just received and murmured, "Liu Yu, don't worry. As long as you don't go too far, I will still do what you ask. Just consider it my reward to you."
A breath later, Bai Wei and her maid arrived at the door of Prince Qi's bedroom. She took the food box from the maid and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door.
The words coming from inside made Bai Wei stop.
"Li Huan, didn't I just ask you to invite your sister to the palace as a guest? Is it so difficult? Not only have you refused time and again, but you even tried to find excuses to lie to me. Do you want me to kick you out of the palace?" Prince Qi's voice was filled with anger.
Li Huan hurriedly explained:
"Your Highness, please check clearly. I didn't have it. It wasn't my invitation! I have been to the Chen residence several times, but Fifth Sister refused to see me. I had no choice!"
"Don't make excuses for me. Who was it that promised me solemnly that he would bring the person to me?"
Prince Qi swept the ginseng soup brought by Liu Huan off the table.
Liu Huan was startled, but after reacting, he quickly assured:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. My grandmother has promised me that she will send my fifth sister to the palace. This time, it will definitely succeed."
After hearing this, Bai Wei withdrew his hand from knocking on the door and gave the soup in his hand to the servant guarding the door:
"Tell the prince that I have been here." She turned around and left with her maid.
After returning, Bai Wei sent the maid away and thought about the conversation between Prince Qi and Liu Huan. She decided to go to Chen Mansion in person.
Bai Wei has been trained by the Qiu family since she was a child on how to serve men and understand men. In the case of Prince Qi, he is most likely interested in Liu Yu.
She seemed to understand a little bit why Liu Yu sent her to Prince Qi's Mansion.
If that's what she thought, Bai Wei would definitely try her best to cooperate.
Compared with Liu Huan, she was confident that she was equally good. If Liu Yu entered the palace, she was almost certain that all the women in the backyard of the palace would become decorations.
Even a man like Mr. Chen Sanye who is not interested in women can be enlightened by Liu Yu, let alone a man as passionate as Prince Qi.
She had just seen hope, and Bai Wei could not tolerate anyone or anything to destroy it.
Even Liu Yu who helped her.
But Liu Yu doesn't want to be involved with King Qi, right?
"Bring me the cloak."
The little maid brought the cloak as instructed and put it on Bai Wei.
"Don't go with me. If the prince comes, just tell him I'm asleep."
After giving instructions to the maid, Bai Wei picked up the lantern, left Prince Qi's Mansion, and headed straight for Chen's Mansion.
The doorman of Chen's residence knew Bai Wei and told her directly that Liu Yu had returned to the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion.
Bai Wei turned and went to Pingnan Marquis Mansion and came to the north courtyard.
Liu Yu had just fallen asleep when someone came to report that Bai Wei had arrived.
Just as she gave Bai Wei a note, Bai Wei came over. Liu Yu intuitively felt that the question she asked had a result.
She called Guyu, helped her put her clothes back on, and went to see Bai Wei.
"Tell me! Is there any result?"
Bai Wei nodded and told Liu Yu what he had heard about the conversation between Prince Qi and Liu Huan.
"Fifth Miss, Prince Qi is a prince, and there is a great possibility that he will ascend to that position in the future..." Bai Wei did not continue her words, but carefully observed Liu Yu's expression.
Bai Wei wanted to use this passage to confirm his guess. Is it correct?
Liu Yu understood, and his gaze towards Bai Wei suddenly became sharp:
"So? What do you want to say or test? Do I have any thoughts about Prince Qi?"
"Bai Wei, it's true that I like smart people, but if they are too smart and self-righteous, I don't mind changing the candidate."
Bai Wei's eyes became flustered: "No, I'm useless."
"You don't need to explain to me. This is not a big deal. It doesn't matter if I tell you. I have no intention of having any feelings towards Prince Qi. You have already guessed it! Otherwise, why would you come to test me?"
Bai Wei didn't expect that Liu Yu could see through all her little thoughts. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Liu Yu interrupted her: "You don't need to explain. You and I have never been enemies. I look forward to your success in Prince Qi's Mansion. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me at any time and I will do my best to help you."
After being with Liu Yu for so long, only at this moment did Bai Wei really believe Liu Yu a little. She smiled sincerely: "I know. Then you should be careful not to let the prince touch you. The prince is obsessed with you."
Don't let Li Qi get into it! She was thinking a lot at the moment. If she guessed correctly, the reason why Qiu Shi treated Liu Yan so harshly this time was probably related to Prince Qi.
She only hoped that the time difference would allow Feng Mo to get the antidote before Qiu and the others. Otherwise, even if she didn't want to go to Prince Qi's Mansion anymore, she had to go.
Too many things happened today, and Liu Yu couldn't sleep at all in the second half of the night.
Before daybreak, Liu Yu went to Anguo Temple. Inside the temple, he met the abbot at the gate.
Liu Yu understood, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his lips. He did not show any expression and listened quietly to how Liu Yan ended up in Anguo Temple.
Many years ago, the abbot went out to beg for alms and met Liu Yan who was being chased and seriously injured. The abbot could not bear it, so he rescued him and brought him back to Anguo Temple.
After bringing him back, they discovered that Liu Yan had not only suffered external injuries, but had also been poisoned by a strange poison from the Western Regions. Over the years, the abbot had tried countless ways to resolve the problem, but to no avail.
Liu Yan knew that he was going to die soon, so he asked the host to find his family for him. After asking around, he found out that Liu Yan was the former son of the Pingnan Marquis's mansion. He couldn't contact the old lady of the Pingnan Marquis's mansion, so after some effort, he finally found Liu's maid...
I have to say it’s a really good story. If Liu Yu hadn’t listened to the old monk’s words early on, she might have really believed what the host said.
Liu Yu clasped his hands together and said, "I, Liu Yu, would like to thank the host for rescuing my father."
The abbot took her into a top-notch meditation room, which had a bed, a couch, a table, and all the necessary things for daily use. It was a world of difference compared to the place she had seen yesterday.
Liu Yan changed into clean Zen robes.
Liu Yu glanced at the host. Did this old bald man give his room to Liu Yan?
