Baozhu looked at Qi Fengyu's eyes that were shining in the dark, trying to see any ulterior motive in his eyes, but could not find any flaw.
"Since you want to cooperate, you have to come up with reasons and sincerity for the cooperation, right?" Baozhu said.
Qi Fengyu smiled, with white teeth and perfect lips. Bao Zhu couldn't help but sigh, all the Qi clan has beautiful men.
"Sister-in-law," Qi Fengyu said in a low voice close to Baozhu's ear, "behind the rockery in the garden, there is a mechanism next to the third stone brick."
Baozhu's eyes suddenly lit up. Because the rockery was overgrown with grass on the dark side, no one would pay too much attention to it, but there was actually a mechanism there.
"Tomorrow, there will be no one to guard me. If my sister-in-law wants my sincerity, just go and see for yourself." After Qi Fengyu said that, he turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness again.
Baozhu stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
On the second day, Baozhu and Yuenu disguised themselves, went to the rockery, and groped on the stone wall.
"The third stone brick, which one is it..." Baozhu's eyes searched, and suddenly he found that there was a slight difference in one of the stone bricks. There was less dust on it than the other stone bricks.
Baozhu's hand hung in mid-air, he hesitated for a moment, and then pressed it heavily. The originally seamless rockery suddenly opened a door, and there were lighting torches in the long tunnel.
Yue Nu swallowed her saliva, looked at Baozhu and asked: "Mother, do we really want to go in..."
Baozhu looked at the bottomless tunnel and felt a little scared. But he still had the courage to reply: "Since we are all here, why not go."
After saying that, he walked in. Yue Nu was so scared that she held Baozhu's arm and walked cautiously with her.
When you step on the stone road, the stone door behind you closes. In the closed environment, Bao Zhu could hear her own restless breathing, and Yue Nu's body was trembling slightly as she leaned against Bao Zhu.
The winding road took Bao Zhu and the others deeper into the place. The coldness of the ground crept up from their feet, and Bao Zhu couldn't help but shudder.
There was a faint light in front of me. It seemed to be a small hall, which was much wider than the corridor here. Baozhu's footsteps stopped slightly, took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
The road underfoot suddenly opened up, and the narrow road turned into a natural stone hall. However, numerous iron bars blocked Baozhu's path, and the stone hall in front of him looked like a prison.
Baozhu looked at the prison in front of him with confusion. There seemed to be a figure huddled in the corner. Curious, Bao Zhu took out the fire stick and blew it, and leaned forward a little, hoping to see clearly who was imprisoned here.
That person should have heard the footsteps of Baozhu and the others a long time ago. His messy hair also moved, and he slowly turned around.
Baozhu leaned forward more curiously, and a face slowly appeared where the firelight could reach.
However, he heard a scream from Yue Nu next to him, Baozhu's hand suddenly trembled, and the Huozhuzi fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!" Yue Nu exclaimed.
Baozhu froze on the spot, looking at the face of the man in front of him that was exactly the same as Qi Junce's, and felt chills stand on end.
Qi Jun policy? ! Baozhu shouted in his heart, but apart from looking exactly like Qi Junce, that man felt that he was not Qi Junce.
This person was not Qi Junce. Baozhu seemed to understand something in her heart. She held down the agitated Yue Nu.
Yue Nu looked at the calm Baozhu, and patted her chest to calm down, "Empress, how could this person..."
Yue Nu swallowed the other half of her words, how could she look exactly like Qi Junce. Bao Zhu secretly twisted her thigh. It hurt. The man in front of her was not an illusion.
The man looked at Baozhu and the others calmly. Although his body was a little sloppy, his eyes looked as pure as a child's.
He saw the fire break that Baozhu had just dropped by his feet. He bent down to pick it up without forgetting to blow off the dust on it. He held it up with both hands and handed it to Baozhu.
Baozhu was obviously a little frightened by his actions and took a step back slightly. The man nodded without saying a word, and handed the fire folding piece forward one more point.
Bao Zhu stretched out her hand, carefully and quickly took the fire fold, pulled Yue Nu and left in a hurry, not daring to look at the man behind her again.
After coming out of the rockery, Bao Zhu breathed heavily, trying to get rid of the inexplicable fear in his heart.
"Empress, who was that person just now? Why does he look exactly like Your Majesty?" Yue Nu asked.
Baozhu shook his head blankly, this was really too weird. Baozhu thought of Qi Fengyu's meaningful look before leaving, and it seemed that it was time to have a good talk with Qi Fengyu.
But Baozhu didn't even see Qi Fengyu's shadow for two months in a row. Baozhu was so angry that he stamped his feet. She knew that Qi Fengyu did it on purpose, making Baozhu scratch his heart and liver with confusion.
These days, Imperial Concubine Cheng brings Qingyang and Qingning to her Weiyang Palace to play, and the previously deserted palace suddenly becomes lively.
Baozhu and Cheng Guifei looked at the two Qingning sisters who were playing with Qingtang with smiles on their faces. This was a rare warm moment in the Tian family.
"Qingyang and Qingning really like your Qingtang. The ones who chatter in my palace every day are the older ones and the younger ones." Concubine Cheng said with a smile.
Baozhu looked at the happy scene in front of him and briefly forgot about everything that had happened in recent days.
"Qingyang and Qingning look much better recently, and their faces are rosy. It can be seen that sister treats them with care." Baozhu said.
There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of Cheng Guifei's mouth, and the smile on her face weakened a bit. Baozhu keenly caught her change and put down the hand that was embroidering something.
"Children," Baozhu said to Qingyang and the others, "Sister Yuenu and the others are making flower cakes for you in the side hall. You should go and do it together, so as not to get bored here."
Qingyang and the others immediately cheered upon hearing this. Qingyang cautiously asked if he could carry Qingtang with him, and Baozhu nodded in agreement.
After a few people left, Baozhu turned to Concubine Cheng and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? She looks sad?"
Concubine Cheng Gui sighed and said with tears in her eyes: "Do you still remember when Gu Shuren threatened Liu Guiren on the grounds of Qingyang's marriage?"
Baozhu nodded, "Of course I remember."
Concubine Cheng's nose became sore, and she burst into tears as she choked with sobs and said, "This matter is not groundless. It's just that the envoy from Mobei said it when he was drunk last time, and your Majesty took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously."
Concubine Cheng sniffed, held Baozhu's hand anxiously and said, "But Baozhu, the envoy from Mobei came to Wuji Hall in person two days ago to explain his marriage request to His Majesty, and Concubine Li blew her pillow Wind...I am afraid...fear..."
Baozhu understood what Cheng Guifei meant. Who couldn't tell that Cheng Guifei, who had been childless for many years, loved the two Qingyang sisters as her own.
Concubine Cheng spent a lot of money to redecorate the side hall, fearing that the two sisters would not get used to it. She also asked her grandmother, who used to serve Liu Guiren, to teach her how to cook the dishes that the little princesses loved. A noble girl who never touched her fingers with spring water, her hands were all burnt and soaked.
Mobei is so remote that once you go there, you may never see them again. Not to mention that Concubine Cheng couldn't bear to part with it, even the pearl couldn't bear it.
Bao Zhu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Concubine Cheng's tears and comforted her: "Okay, okay, don't cry yet. Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet, so there is still room for maneuver in everything."
Concubine Cheng cried and shook her head, looking really worried. "But Baozhu, your majesty's only eldest princess is Qingyang. Your majesty has no brothers or even a clan daughter. What should we do?"
Bao Zhu frowned, Cheng Guifei's words didn't make sense. If the marriage was really going to happen, there would be no other choice but Qingyang.
I remembered that I had left my hometown, and in the end I couldn't even see my parents for the last time. She had no choice but to weigh the pros and cons and was full of calculations to survive, and Bao Zhu secretly did not want Qingyang to look at him.
"Sister, don't cry anymore." Baozhu said, "If you also collapse, then who will fight for Qingyang?"
Hearing this, Concubine Cheng raised her head and wiped away her tears. Although she was still choked with sobs, she said with a lot more determination in her voice: "Yes, you are right, I can't collapse on my own, I want to give my Qingyang Fight, even if it means going against your will."
Baozhu and Cheng Guifei didn't talk for long. Qingyang and Qingning, who still didn't know what would happen in the future, ran back happily holding flower cakes, followed by Yue Nu holding Qingtang.
"Concubine!" Qingyang smiled brightly, put down the plate, took out a piece and handed it to Concubine Cheng's mouth, "Concubine, you are always here, it's delicious."
Concubine Cheng forced a smile and took a bite. The delicate Qingyang immediately noticed the wet tears on Concubine Cheng's face and asked nervously: "Concubine, why are you crying?"
Qingning who was on the side heard the words and immediately ran over. She held Concubine Cheng's face with her little hands and said, "If the concubine doesn't cry, she won't cry. Qingning has candy for the concubine."
Seeing the two little princesses in front of them, Cheng Guifei and Baozhu couldn't help feeling a little sad, but Cheng Guifei didn't want Qingyang, who was already precocious, to worry, so she quickly said no.
Baozhu also helped and said: "It's okay. There was dust in my eyes just now. I have already blown it away for my sister."
Qingyang looked at Concubine Cheng dubiously, but still chose to believe Baozhu's white lies.
After Concubine Cheng left, Baozhu turned around and carried Qingtang to Wuji Hall.
In the Wuji Hall, Qi Junce was observing the territory of the Eastern Continent. He was so intoxicated that he didn't even know when the orb arrived.
It wasn't until Grandma Qingtang's voice sounded that she turned to the side and saw the smiling Baozhu.
"My concubine saw that Your Majesty was looking at her seriously, so she couldn't bear to disturb her." After Baozhu said this, he was about to salute Qi Junce, but he helped him up.
"No need to be polite, you are still holding the child." Qi Junce said pretending to be guilty, but he naturally took Qingtang from Baozhu's arms.
"Good Qingtang, have you missed your father?" Qi Junce nodded Qingtang's mouth. Qingtang didn't understand what it meant, so he thought he was joking and laughed loudly.
There is no doubt about Qi Junce's love for Qingtang. Baozhu looked at the father and daughter in front of him and felt a little pity in his heart. How wonderful it would be if those things didn't happen.
But the reality is like this, Baozhu does not allow himself to waver in the slightest. Now he is just dormant beside Qi Junce, and when the time comes, it will be the moment of subversion.
Baozhu turned around and was busy making tea for Qi Junce while saying, "I recently heard about a past incident, which made me feel very sad and I didn't even think about food or tea."
Upon hearing this, Qi Junce looked at Baozhu with concern and asked, "What happened to make Baozhu so sad?"
Baozhu lowered his eyes and walked towards Qi Junce with the teacup in hand. He hesitated and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
