Chapter 20: Meeting the Masked Man Again

Bai Qiqian had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping. She didn't expect that today's scene would be so exciting.

Earlier, Bai Qiqian asked Yujin and Ziyuan to inquire about news in the teahouse.

Lin Xiaotian was only twenty-three years old, but he had never married and had children. People around him thought he hated women. However, he loved his sister Lin Huanger very much.

This matter is basically known to every household.

However, the owner of the teahouse said that on the day of Lin Huang'er's wedding, Lin Xiaotian not only did not attend the wedding, but was extremely drunk in the tavern and kept chanting Lin Huang'er's name.

Ziyuan told Bai Qiqian about this matter, and Bai Qiqian felt that the brother-sister relationship between Lin Xiaotian and Lin Huang'er was a bit unusual. So she put on men's clothes, went out of the house, and visited the bachelor's residence. In Lin Xiaotian's room

I discovered many portraits of Lin Huanger, as well as some sentimental poems.

Bai Qiqian spread some news to Lin Xiaotian, saying that Lin Huang'er had suffered a lot of grievances in the palace, was framed by others, and was poisoned. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaotian actually visited Prince Yuan's palace at night.

Bai Qiqian led Ye Liyuan to Lin Huanger's palace, so that he could hear what they said.

Unexpectedly, there was an adulterous affair between Lin Huanger and Lin Xiaotian.

Thinking of Lin Huang'er's fall from grace, Bai Qiqian was in a good mood, and the dark figure disappeared into the night.

In Suoqing Hall, flowers were blooming and falling, and three or four days passed in a flash. Bai Qiqian stood alone in the courtyard, feeling a little depressed. She had not seen Ye Liyuan in the past few days, and she didn't know what he was doing.

Maybe it was because of Lin Huanger's incident that it had some influence on him.

The boy is as pale as jade, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are always slightly raised, exuding a cold and coquettish light. His eyebrows are picturesque, and one look at him will make people deeply intoxicated in his peerless appearance. The corner of his mouth

He always has a shallow smile that makes people unable to understand, but sometimes the words he speaks are cold to the bone.

Bai Qiqian sat in the courtyard, thinking of Ye Liyuan, and felt all kinds of emotions in her heart.

She remembered that he once said to her: "The person I, Ye Liyuan, love in this life is just Lin Huang'er." His feelings for Lin Huang'er were very deep, which made Bai Qiqian feel sad and jealous.

.

He ignored rumors and rumors, married back a woman whose innocence was ruined, and then wanted to give the title of princess to that woman. What kind of profound emotion must this be?

He was indifferent to her, his words were like frost, and his eyes were cold, with a lingering alienation. Many times, Bai Qiqian thought about how much Ye Liyuan resented Princess Fuyao in the past.

?

It was obvious that Princess Fuyao loved him so much that it penetrated deep into her bones.

But now, he seemed to like her a little. Thinking of the tenderness Ye Liyuan gave her inadvertently, Bai Qiqian felt as if she had eaten honey, and it was sweet to her heart. Those shallow girlish thoughts fell into unconsciousness.

Especially that time, when she learned about Chengxuan in the palace, she felt inexplicably sad. Ye Liyuan looked at her tenderly and said softly to her: "I will take you home."

Every time she thought of this scene, her heart was filled with knots. In fact, she really wanted a family.

In her previous life, she was willing to live in seclusion because she longed for the warmth of a home. Unexpectedly, she died in a conspiracy.

A warm home and a peaceful and peaceful life are fatal temptations for a female killer.

At night, it was still difficult to calm down in her heart. Under Yu Jin's persuasion, Bai Qiqian took a walk in the bamboo forest to relieve her depression. Thinking of the bamboo forest, she couldn't help but think of the man wearing the white jade mask.

The evening breeze was blowing slowly, and Bai Qiqian was sitting in the bamboo forest, looking at the starry sky. Unexpectedly, he heard a soft voice: "I didn't expect that we would meet here again." He sighed slightly, but with a touch of melancholy.

Bai Qiqian turned around and glanced at him: "Are you a ghost? Why did you do it so quietly, I didn't even notice it."

The corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, forming a nice curve: "If even you could notice it, I would have died a thousand times." It was obviously a very relaxed tone, but Bai Qiqian could actually hear a hint of helplessness.

.

Bai Qi looked at him intently. The white jade mask reflected the moonlight, smeared with a layer of cold light, and her eyes were like water. If there was a peerless face under this white jade mask, even a person's three souls and seven souls would be able to see it.

Hook away.

Before Bai Qiqian could say anything, the man asked: "You are worried today, is there anything I can do to help you?" His voice was very nice, as soft as a feather on the tip of her heart.

Slide over.

Bai Qiqian waved her hand: "Look at you, you are also worried." Then, Bai Qiqian raised her smile again, "Tell me what makes you unhappy and make me happy."

The man suddenly became a little dull, his eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment, and then he laughed again: "You are really interesting."

Bai Qiqian held her chin in her hands and looked at the man seriously: "We met twice, so we are destined. You haven't told me your name yet." She suddenly wanted to know the man's name.

The man was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said slowly: "Su Nanjin."

Su Nanjin, what a nice name.

Bai Qiqian raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. She suddenly thought of her past life, and her heart was still a little painful. She said in a low and slow voice: "The moonlight tonight can easily remind people of the past."

Su Nanjin's eyes couldn't help but tighten, and then she narrowed her eyes and said lightly: "The past is like smoke and dust, the past has always passed, no matter how much I think about it, it is useless."

"You see it clearly, but how many people in this world can truly let go of the past?" Bai Qiqian sighed and said, "Being able to hold it does not mean being able to let it go, and being able to let it go does not mean forgetting it."

"Is there anything you can't forget?" Su Nanjin asked casually.

"I fell in love with a man before, and I gave up my family and power for that man. In the end, that man drove me to a dead end. When I had nothing, I was abandoned by him."

"That man is very heartless." Su Nanjin said flatly, "Such men are not uncommon in the world."

Bai Qiqian nodded: "Well, you are right, there are many lovers in this world. But what really makes me sad is not his betrayal and abandonment, but my adoptive father's design and frame-up of me."

Foster father? Hearing this word, Su Nanjin frowned.

Bai Qiqian didn't notice the difference in Su Nanjin's expression. She continued: "I never thought that my adoptive father, who I always trusted and respected, would actually..." Looking back on the past, now that I think about it, I still feel a little unwilling and a little bit dissatisfied.

willing.

Su Nanjin was silent for a moment, staring into Bai Qiqian's eyes: "Those things have passed, don't be sad anymore."

Bai Qiqian laughed softly and said: "You are right, the past should be gone with the wind, not to mention that my current life is not bad. By the way, Nanjin, why are you here? Prince Yuan's Mansion is about to become your home.

It’s the back garden, you can come in when you want, and come out when you want.”

Su Nanjin smiled softly: "I like this bamboo forest, so I come here often."

"Is there anything special about this bamboo forest?" Bai Qiqian was a little curious. She really couldn't see anything outstanding about this bamboo forest, except that the environment was quieter.

"When I was very young, I was bitten by a snake in the bamboo forest. A little girl saved my life." Su Nanjin's eyes revealed memories of the past. "When I woke up, I found out that the person who saved me was

The little girl is an official lady."

Bai Qiqian looked at him with interest: "Did you fall in love at first sight and then make a private commitment in the back garden for life?"

Su Nanjin smiled incredulously: "You are right. I promised her that I would give her happiness in this life. But later on, I broke my vow and did not marry her. In fact, I also discovered that

, she doesn’t love me as much as I imagined. Or maybe, I never understood her.”

Bai Qiqian spread her hands and explained: "Many things in the world are like this. The person you love doesn't love you, and the person who loves you doesn't love you. In the end, you may not marry the one you love, but the one you marry may not be the one you love.

, and he doesn’t necessarily love you.”

Su Nanjin nodded in agreement: "She once saved my life, so of course I want to be nice to her."

"Then you treat this life-saving grace as love, only to find that you are terribly wrong." People often say that things in the world are impermanent. People who stay outside of the situation can see clearly, but when they are in the middle of the situation, they are often confused.

Is it so wrong? Maybe he hurt another person because of her.

The evening breeze was very cold, and Bai Qiqian murmured: "A pair of people from generation to generation, fighting for each other's ecstasy."

Su Nanjin raised her eyes: "What?"

Bai Qiqian smiled lightly: "A pair of people are born in a lifetime. If two people are happy together, why should a third person be involved?"

Su Nanjin was startled, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "You don't want your husband to have a concubine?"

Bai Qiqian rolled her eyes at him: "I definitely don't want to. Who can tolerate another woman sharing a husband with her? Of course, if that person doesn't love her husband, she will let her husband take a concubine."

"Everyone says that such a woman is very virtuous."

"Is it called virtuous to give up one's husband to others? I think that's called stupidity." Bai Qiqian said coolly, "The wives and concubines fought overtly and secretly, and were jealous, and in the end the family was restless. In short, it didn't end well.

"

"Qianqian, in the Jinhui Dynasty, there are many people who want to marry Ye Liyuan. As a prince, he may have to take concubines in the future. How will you deal with it then?"

"He will be mine alone." Bai Qiqian's eyes were cold, but with a lingering confidence.

"I hope so." Su Nanjin smiled, her eyes sparkling, "It's so late at night, so you should go back and rest early."

Bai Qiqian suddenly leaned over, whispered a few words in Su Nanjin's ear, then stood up and walked towards her Suoqing Hall.

Her figure looks fragile, but she is extremely strong.
