"Your injury hasn't healed yet. You agreed to let me take care of you, otherwise I will feel uneasy about my conscience." Liu Xudong said, sitting next to Princess Yayang, pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it. Only then did he realize that Bai Bai
The two spirits asked, "When did you set off? I thought I wouldn't meet you on the road."
Bai Ling's eyes fell on Princess Yayang's hand, and she could see that it had been heavily wound, so there were heavy scars.
But the scab on the wound has fallen off, and doing things like drinking tea and wiping your mouth will not cause damage.
On the other hand, my second cousin seems to be overly concerned, or is it subconscious blindness?
"I encountered a little trouble in the capital, so after leaving the capital, I deliberately took a detour to leave some cover for the trouble, so as not to have to wait until the New Year. Otherwise, I would have caught up with you at least ten days earlier." Bai Ling
He replied in one sentence.
It was true that they were afraid that Princess Ruyi would come after them, and it was also true that Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu made an impromptu decision to take a short detour to the south and play for a few days.
But Bai Ling would not tell the truth, otherwise he would be laughed at by his cousin.
"What about you? How come so many people were injured? Didn't I prepare enough medicine for you?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.
"Those people seemed to have been prepared and knew that we would use drugs." When it came to business, Liu Xudong said more seriously, "They should have taken antidotes that can resist drugs in advance, although they cannot be affected at all.
But if those masters can hold their breath for a while, they will have enough power to kill our people."
Princess Yayang added at the side: "The purpose of these people is not clear for the time being, and there was no one left alive at that time. But if it weren't for the large number of us, which delayed a little time, and the poison you left, I'm afraid one
We can’t escape either. At least, more than half of them will be killed or injured.”
Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
What the nursing home said before was unclear, so the two of them were suspicious of the actions of the men in black.
The people behind the scenes have sent so many masters, so it is easy to kill people. After all, masters do not necessarily have to be honest when killing people.
But the opponent's goal seemed to be to kill as many as they could, and even Princess Yayang and her party left first without pursuing them.
If it is said that it is for money, it is even more unreasonable.
Those who rob will transport the supplies away while fighting.
"I will investigate this matter and you don't have to worry about it anymore," Shangguan Yu said.
"By the way, my cousin just now said that she encountered a little trouble in the capital. Can it be solved?" Princess Yayang asked after nodding.
"It's solved for the time being." Bai Ling said and glanced at Shangguan Yu.
Although he is far away from Princess Ruyi for the time being, no one can tell what will happen in the future.
Seeing that Bai Ling didn't want to say more, Princess Yayang stopped asking and started chatting.
Everyone wanted to avoid something, so Bai Ling quickly found an excuse and said he was tired and wanted to rest, ending the awkward chat atmosphere.
The houses in the county town are not very big, so the rules of the wealthy families are not followed here.
Shangguan Yu lived in the room next to Bai Ling, but Shangguan Yu accompanied Bai Ling back to the room. The two of them obviously had something to say.
"When did the princess fall in love with my cousin?" Bai Ling asked curiously after closing the door.
"When we were in the capital." After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he pinched Bai Ling's nose and said, "Don't you know that when your cousin goes out to do business, he always picks up Yayang and spends the whole day there?
Something about it?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.
"Everyone has seen it, and I thought you knew it too." Shangguan Yu laughed and said, "Even that wild girl Qin Xuerou noticed the clues when she was in the other courtyard, so she took the initiative to talk to your eldest cousin later.
of."
Bai Ling opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that he was so slow.
Reaching out and closing Bai Ling's chin, Shangguan Yu teased: "I always thought that Ling'er was just insensitive to her own feelings, so she made me wait. It turns out that the same goes for other people."
"No, I'm very optimistic about Haitang and Ling Qing." Bai Ling retorted, giving an example: "I also noticed the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law back then."
"Yang Fan's performance was too obvious. It doesn't have to be a problem with his eyes to see it. As for Haitang and Ling Qing, it seems that there is no development between the two of them. It's because you messed up the relationship." Shangguan Yu pointed out.
Bai Ling was silent for a moment, then shrugged weakly and said, "Don't I have the potential to be a matchmaker? Can't one or two give me a chance to show off?"
"I'll give you a chance to express your feelings for me no matter how Ling'er wants to." Shangguan Yu said emotionally.
Staring at Shangguan Yu, Bai Ling said in frustration: "It's not that I'm that slow. In fact, when we were in the other courtyard, I also felt that there was something wrong with the princess towards her cousin.
But when I thought about their identities, I felt that I was being too preoccupied. After that, everyone was busy, and I didn’t interfere with my cousin’s affairs. Naturally, I didn’t know that the princess was often with them.”
What Bai Ling didn't say was that the Liu brothers came to Beijing under the entrustment of Bai Sanshu to buy her a dowry, and they only found out about it after the Liu brothers made it clear.
Whether it was because he was too rational or because his reflex arc was relatively long in some aspects, Bai Ling felt that he needed to think deeply.
"I want to be quiet, can you go out first?" Bai Ling glanced at Shangguan Yu sadly, and Bai Ling was just expressing his anger.
Shangguan Yu had discovered it a long time ago but refused to tell her.
"Then have a good rest. I'll wake you up later." Shangguan Yu said gently.
"Okay." Bai Ling waved his hand and told Shangguan Yu to leave quickly.
Looking at Bai Ling's look, Shangguan Yu almost laughed out loud.
Bai Ling, who has always been smart, probably wants to hide in space to think about his carelessness, right?
As expected by Shangguan Yu, Bai Ling walked around the room a few times before entering the space.
Bai Ling, who prides himself on caring deeply about his family and friends, cannot accept that he is so confused.
Princess Yayang is a good princess, but her status as a princess is enough to be an obstacle between her and Liu Xudong.
If Liu Xusheng worked hard to achieve political achievements, he might still have a chance to win the title of Princess Shang.
But Liu Xudong did not have a bright future. He was born in a farmer's family, and even if he had the reputation of being a scholar, he would only be able to do business in the future, and he would not even be able to open a store, because Liu Xudong did not like studying.
A dignified princess, married to a businessman...
"I can't think about it anymore, my head is about to explode." Bai Ling patted his forehead to calm down, "Since Shangguan knows about this and hasn't stopped it yet, does that mean it's really possible for the two of them?"
Bai Ling forgot about the imperial edict that Princess Yayang got freedom of marriage, and just thought that Shangguan Yu had already made a plan.
Thinking of his cousins, each one more likely to be a noble girl than the other, Bai Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, we have to get things ready quickly and let them go overseas to do business as soon as possible. A young lady from the General's Palace, the Liu family can no longer afford the betrothal gift, and another princess... My God, how much will my grandfather's family have to give up in terms of luck?
Are people envious? If this marriage can come true, I will be considered a relative of the emperor, right?"
Bai Ling chuckled and suddenly felt that it would be great if Princess Yayang and Liu Xudong could get married.
Everyone is familiar with each other, and a lot of unnecessary friction can be avoided in the future.
The point is, they can get along with each other and many of the problems they were worried about before can be solved.
As for whether the emperor is satisfied with this marriage, Bai Ling doesn't care, as long as the happy event can be fulfilled in the end. (To be continued)
