After Shi Qinghuan changed his clothes, the two of them left the back hall.
Walking in the deserted corridor, Shi Qinghuan was still frightened.
Bailiheng stopped and turned to look at her, "It's okay!"
"It's all my fault. You told me to be careful, but I still got hit!"
"The deep palace is treacherous and people's hearts are complicated. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. However, this time it is really not good."
Bailiheng's expression darkened, "I deliberately spilled the tea, tricked you into changing clothes, and arranged for the palace maid to take a peek. Being the mastermind behind all this has only one purpose..."
Shi Qinghuan's eyes trembled, "Someone has doubted my identity and wants to use this to confirm that I am..."
Daughter body!
The two looked at each other, and Bailiheng nodded, "Fortunately, when I saw you leaving, the palace maid followed you, so I made arrangements in advance. She didn't see anything today, and she was interrupted by other palace maids. No. I’ll be suspicious of you.”
"Who is the one?"
Shi Qinghuan recalled the banquet...
"Cheng Yangfeng!"
Shi Qinghuan suddenly remembered, "Yes, it was him. At the banquet, he walked towards me on purpose. He knew that I would avoid him. In this way, I would not arrange for the palace maid to bump into him when I left. I have any doubts, but when did I leak the secret?”
Bailiheng shook his head, he didn't know either.
But this matter is no small matter.
"Be careful at all times in the future and never give him another chance to investigate."
"Well, be careful."
"After the mission, we will head to Hexi as soon as possible and leave Kyoto. What he wants to do is beyond our reach. If we make good progress, we don't have to worry about him knowing your identity later."
After saying that, Bailiheng saw that Shi Qinghuan was very worried and touched her shoulder, "Don't worry, even if Bailiheng reveals your identity, I will have a way out."
"What escape route?"
Bailiheng smiled and said nothing, "No one can do anything to you."
When he said this, Bailiheng's eyes were full of determination and confidence. At this moment, Shi Qinghuan's heart felt at ease inexplicably.
Then he curled his lips and said, "Why don't we let Cheng Yangfeng get busy?"
Seeing Shi Qinghuan's cunning look, Bailiheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well, this is the kind of you I know. You are calm and able to respond promptly."
As the two looked at each other and smiled, footsteps sounded, and they turned and walked away.
Just after returning to the banquet, Bailiheng was pulled away by everyone again. Shi Qinghuan was sitting there, and his eyes darkened when he saw Cheng Yangfeng walking towards her.
More calm than before.
"I haven't seen Commander Su for a long time. How about having a drink with me?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have been sick since I was a child and have never drank alcohol."
"Master Su seems to be in a bad mood, but what happened?"
Shi Qinghuan chuckled, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that there are people with ulterior motives in the majestic city."
"Oh? This is quite new. I would like to hear the details."
"Nowadays, the palace maids spilled tea to wet themselves, and then the palace maids peeped while changing clothes. This trend is really shocking!"
"Is there such a thing? But having said that, Commander Su is young and handsome, and naturally many women are attracted to him. He is a macho man, and it doesn't matter if he is looked at by others."
When he said this, Cheng Yangfeng stared into Shi Qinghuan's eyes. Shi Qinghuan looked back without fear, and then sneered.
"Your Majesty, what you said is different. I myself am pure and I am not yet married. If the palace maid falsely accuses me of having evil intentions, my reputation will be ruined and the Su family will be implicated. I cannot bear the consequences."
"Is this why you are so angry?"
"What else? Fortunately, I felt a little unwell when I passed by. I sat inside for a while and took a short rest before going to change my clothes. As soon as I passed by, I saw someone sneaking around. Later, a passing palace maid shouted and the man left. I also deliberately I took a quick look and found out that the person peeking was the palace maid who spilled the tea on me."
As he said this, Shi Qinghuan deliberately slapped the table angrily, "My lord, tell me, isn't this just for me? Or rather, it's for the Su family. His heart is so cruel!"
Shi Qinghuan acted vividly, completely blaming her anger on being set up. As for the purpose of the design, it was all to ruin her reputation and the reputation of the Su family.
Completely avoid the issue of female identity.
Even in just a few words, he explained clearly why the palace maid didn't see her changing clothes.
Cheng Yangfeng looked at her with a downcast expression, unable to tell whether he believed it or not.
After a long time, he put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Don't be too angry, Commander Su. I will definitely investigate this matter and punish him severely."
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, each with their own thoughts.
After three drinks, the banquet was almost in progress.
The envoys seemed very satisfied. Dai Xishan also raised his glass and toasted to the Holy One. They were chatting and laughing, but on the surface everything seemed fine.
The palace banquet lasted until late at night, and it was not until it was over and left the palace gate that Shi Qinghuan's hanging heart finally settled.
Bailiheng was toasted by everyone, and they held back the wine for her, so she was really a little tipsy.
After getting on the carriage, Bailiheng leaned to one side and closed his eyes to take a nap.
The light illuminated his reddish side face, making him look very quiet and gentle.
Shi Qinghuan sat on one side and looked at him quietly.
The carriage jolted, and Bailiheng's body suddenly leaned forward. Shi Qinghuan subconsciously leaned forward and reached out to support him.
Caught off guard, Shi Qinghuan half-knelt on the ground, and Bailiheng opened his eyes because of the loud movement.
In the flickering light and shadow, he and Shi Qinghuan were very close, almost leaning against her shoulders.
Looking down, she could see her pure face.
And his hair slid over his shoulders and fell into the crook of Shi Qinghuan's neck, as if entangled with that silent ambiguity.
After being stunned for a moment, Shi Qinghuan quickly helped Bailiheng sit up, and Bailiheng rubbed his eyebrows.
"It's true that I'm a little dizzy."
Shi Qinghuan sat down on one side. Seeing Bailiheng looking uncomfortable, he reached out and felt his pulse, then frowned.
"Have you been injured again?"
"Oh, there was an assassin in the house a few days ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's just a small thing."
Bailiheng said lightly, but Shi Qinghuan looked worried. He took out the pills and gave them to Bailiheng to take, and then sat next to him.
"Since you are injured, you cannot drink."
"Well, not next time!"
Bailiheng agreed obediently, and there was a bit of murmuring in his words. Coupled with his deep voice, Shi Qinghuan felt some weird turmoil in his heart.
Seeing that Shi Qinghuan stopped talking, Bailiheng sighed and suddenly lay down on his side.
It happened that his whole head was resting on Shi Qinghuan's lap.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned. When she looked at Bailiheng, he had already closed his eyes tightly and his breathing was steady.
I just fell asleep like that.
The carriage went straight, and Shi Qinghuan didn't dare to move, so he just let him lie there.
Her eyes fell on his face involuntarily.
He was banished to the mortal world, and as time went by, he was carved with the mark of the mortal world.
This was how Shi Qinghuan felt when she looked at him.
Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand and pushed the hair away from his forehead, and distress gradually appeared in his eyes.
Thinking of his injuries and his grief, Shi Qinghuan also felt a dull pain in his heart.
