Chapter 503 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3] 7

Chapter 503 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](7)

During the moment of his silence, Bai Wu's lowered eyes were exceptionally bright.

She was also thinking of countermeasures quickly.

The information 003 gave her showed that Prince Wei grew up in Northern Xinjiang and had never met the original owner.

Later, when he returned to the capital, the emperor took a fancy to the power of the Wei family and granted him a marriage to the original owner.

But Wei Changce didn't like restraint, and even more hated the original owner who forcibly tied him to a relationship.

Generally, he tried his best to avoid situations where the original owner was present.

So little is known about the original owner.

Even if she returns to her original state now, Wei Changce may not be able to recognize her.

What's more, she even changed her appearance.

Thinking of this, Bai Wu raised her disguised eyes again and said timidly:

"My name is Mei'er, and I am a palace maid from Changle Hall in the East Palace."

"When the late emperor passed away, the Ministry of Rites selected a list of people to be buried in the palace, and I was among them. They wanted to give me a white silk ribbon, but I didn't want to die, so I faked my death and escaped..."

The more she spoke, the more she choked up, until finally a big tear rolled down and hit the bush.

Wei Changce was stunned and stiffened subconsciously.

It's not like he has never seen a woman cry in his entire life.

He felt upset when he saw those warblers and swallows crying.

But the silent tears of beauty now made him feel heartbroken.

He didn't find her pretentious and annoying.

On the contrary, I feel that she is extremely pitiful and makes people feel sympathy.

The Dongli royal family has always had palace rules for burials.

He especially despised this.

Hundreds of living people were killed in this way.

It's simply heartless.

But the people in the temple did not express any opinions on this, and instead condoned the royal family's inhumane behavior.

The people worshiped the temple as a god.

But are gods so indifferent?

If this girl hadn't been clever and lucky enough to escape, she might have been buried in the cold ground right now.

He thought that he was used to living in the military camp, and his heart had long been as hard as a rock, but he didn't expect that his heart would be moved now.

Wei Changce was a little helpless and he used his fingertips to wipe away the tears on her face.

Her skin was softer and finer than he imagined.

His fingertips felt hot just by touching them.

Sure enough, the people raised in the palace are different from those outside.

Pressing down the throbbing in his heart, he cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to those people."

Bai Wu stopped crying and looked at him with a pair of watery eyes: "Really, really?"

Wei Changce tried his best to smile gently to calm her fear.

"Really, is that why you've been hiding here since you escaped from the palace?"

Bai Wu nodded, and then grasped Wei Changce's cold sleeve cuffs tightly.

"Your Majesty, can you please keep quiet? I, I can just hide here for a few days and I won't implicate you, Your Majesty."

Wei Changce frowned: "Do you plan to stay here forever? How can that be done? Your wound is not healed yet, and it will definitely become inflamed if you stay in this forest."

"But..." Bai Wu bit her lip in embarrassment, "Both of my parents died when I was young, and I grew up in a palace. I have no choice but to hide here."

[Ding—Green Tea’s passive skill is triggered, prestige +10!]

"Let's do this." Wei Changce pondered for a moment and then said, "Follow me back to Zhenbei Palace, and I will send someone to take good care of you."

Bai Wu waved her hands in fear: "No, no, how can that be done..."

"Don't worry, Zhenbei Palace is the safest place for you now. People in the palace don't dare to go to my house to cause trouble. Is it possible that you still dislike the small place in the palace as not as good as the palace?"

"I don't……"

"Then follow me." Wei Changce stood up and stretched out a hand to her, "Since I have hurt you, I will naturally take responsibility to the end and protect your life."

Bai Wu tremblingly put her cat up on her, and finally smiled.

"Mei'er, thank you so much, Your Majesty..."

The sun sets over the hills and the sky is filled with red clouds.

The golden sunshine shines in the woods piece by piece.

The girl's eyes sparkled with tiny golden light, and her gentle smile made her look like a goddess who had strayed into the mortal world.

Wei Changce was suddenly stunned.

He felt that girls should not grow up in that abyss-like palace.

It's the deer in the dense forest that has just transformed into a human being, ignorant and innocent.

Wei Changce's face felt hot, and he quickly covered up the strangeness and picked the girl up on the horse.

He turned over and protected him in his arms.

More fragrance swirled on the tip of his nose.

The guard tightened his reins and his voice became hoarse.

"Are you...sit ready? I will try my best to ride as slowly as possible."

Bai Wu bowed her head shyly and said "hmm".

The setting sun stretched the figures of the two people and the horse into a long shadow.

During this beautiful scene, the black python around Bai Wu's neck began to move again.

He even made a threatening hissing sound.

Wei Changce keenly caught this subtle sound, lowered his head subconsciously, and found that the python head on the necklace of the woman in front of him was pointed at him behind him.

Those amber pupils also became colder and colder.

Is it his imagination?

Why does he always feel like this snake is a living thing?

After swallowing, Wei Changce suppressed the doubts in his heart.

There are unknown secrets in everyone's heart.

It would be better for him not to inquire too much.



Zhenbei Palace.

Princess Wei didn't see her son all day.

Knowing his temper well, she called Wei Changce's personal bodyguard Xifeng early the next morning.

Princess Wei was also a general, and usually she was not angry or intimidating. At this time, her face showed a stern look, and her aura was actually a bit more intimidating than the King of Zhenbei.

"Tell me, what did the prince do all day yesterday?"

Xi Fengpi grinned with a smile: "The young prince spent all day yesterday attending lectures at the Imperial Academy. The masters always praised the young prince for his hard work."

"Nonsense!" Princess Wei slammed the table, "I am his mother, I don't know his temper yet? If he can sit in Taixue for half the time to burn incense, the sun will come out in the west, say!

What on earth are you doing, Your Majesty?! If you don’t tell the truth, you will go to the military camp in the next half month and don’t go back to your home!"

Xi Feng hurriedly knelt down and answered tremblingly: "Shi, Shizi, he went up to drink with Mr. Xu and the others at Zuihuan Tower yesterday, and in the afternoon he and Mr. Zhao went hunting in the hills south of the city..."

The more Princess Wei listened, the angrier she became. Finally, she stood up and angrily scolded King Zhenbei, who was drinking tea leisurely at the side:

"Look at you, this is your good son. He is either drinking or hanging out with his bad friends all day long, and you don't care about him?!"

Wei Qi put down the teacup and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Jin Niang, it is a man's nature to be playful. Chang Ce has just returned to the capital not long ago. Isn't it normal for him to drink and go hunting?"

"Normal? You still think he doesn't make enough noise?"

Princess Wei wanted to say something else, but finally swallowed it.

Then she waved her hand and sat back: "Then when did he come back last night? Why didn't he come to say hello?"
