The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 276: everyone knows
Chapter 276 Everyone Knows
Nanny Qin walked forward holding the mahogany brocade box and opened it.
She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and saw a ring in the brocade box. Her eyes suddenly narrowed. This was the ring of her second brother Bai Qingqiong, which was given to her by Bai Qingyan.
She picked up the ring and looked at it, then clenched it tightly in her hand and unwrapped the folded letter. There was only one line of words on it.
[At the posthouse at You time, one person came to discuss in detail, and no one will be allowed to wait after that time. ]
You Hour…
It is now the end of the afternoon.
Bai Qingyan closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and thought rapidly in his mind.
Li Zhijie suffered a great loss when he was in southern Xinjiang. Now he gave her the ring and asked her to meet her at the post station at you hour. It was either an assassination or some conspiracy was waiting for her.
But what if my second brother Bai Qingqiong is really still alive in Li Zhijie’s hands?
For Bai Qingyan, nothing is more important than Bai Qingqiong.
She had to go! The letter specifically asked her to go alone. If she brought someone else, Li Zhijie would probably not tell her about Bai Qingqiong.
in this way……
Then she would go alone first to see what Li Zhijie had to say, and then let Bai Jinzhi bring people over, and then send someone to deliver the gift sent by Li Zhijie to the prince. If it was really a frame-up… she had also told the prince in advance.
“Madame Tong, Chuntao… send someone to call Xiaosi and Lupin over separately. I have something to tell you!” Bai Qingyan said as he removed the iron sandbag from his wrist.
Nanny Tong and Chuntao immediately sent someone out to call the fourth girl Bai Jinzhi and Lupin.
“Madame Qin… don’t tell Mother about this first. I can handle it. You don’t have to worry about it.” Bai Qingyan looked at Madame Qin, “There is one more thing that needs to be done by Madame Qin!”
“Just follow the eldest lady’s orders!” Nanny Qin watched the eldest lady grow up. If the eldest lady said she could control it, then she would definitely be able to control it. She believed in the eldest lady.
“I will ask Uncle Ping to invite the prince to the inn where King Yan of Xiliang and the princess are staying. Madam, send a few trustworthy people to blend in with the people outside the inn and wait for the prince to arrive…” Bai Qingyan whispered in Madam Qin’s ear.
Bai Jinzhi came quickly and saw Bai Qingyan had changed into neat clothes as soon as he entered the room.
“Elder sister?” Bai Jinzhi panted, looking at Bai Qingyan in confusion.
Bai Qingyan tied the quiver behind his waist, took the Sun-shooting Bow and instructed Bai Jinzhi: “After I leave, bring the Bai Palace guards to the posthouse and say you are looking for Li Zhijie to ask for your second brother! Make a big noise, it’s best if everyone knows about it!”
“What did you say, elder sister?! Second brother?! Second brother is also in Li Zhijie’s hands?!” Bai Jinzhi widened his eyes.
“Don’t ask! I’ll tell you in detail later! Remember what my elder sister said!”
Bai Jinzhi felt her heart pounding and nodded vigorously, “Don’t worry, elder sister! In a stick of incense, Xiao Si will make everyone in the capital know about it!”
“Miss, Guard Lupin is here.” Chuntao said after saluting.
“Take the mahogany brocade box sent by Li Zhijie and give it to Lupin.”
Bai Jinzhi nodded, picked up the mahogany box on the table, and followed Bai Qingyan out of the upper room.
Lupin was waiting outside Qinghui Courtyard in a proper manner. When he saw Bai Qingyan coming out, he hurriedly took two steps forward to greet him. Before he could even salute, he heard Bai Qingyan say, “After half a cup of tea, Uncle Ping, take this brocade box and go straight to the Prince’s Mansion. Say… this is a gift from King Yan of Xiliang. I asked you to give it to the Prince. If the Prince asks you anything else, just say you don’t know.”
Seeing Bai Qingyan holding the Sun-shooting Bow, Lupin understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded in agreement: “Don’t worry, young lady!”

Li Zhijie stood beside the fish pond in the post house, feeding the fish with a box of fish food in his hand. Lu Tianzhuo stood obediently behind Li Zhijie, looking outside from time to time.
“Azhuo, how can you be sure that Bai Qingyan will come to the appointment instead of… telling the prince?” Li Zhijie stared at the plump koi fish fighting for food in the water, and narrowed his eyes at the sparkling water. “I think the friendship between Bai Qingyan and the prince is unusual.”
“I bet that the Crown Prince didn’t know about Bai Qingyan’s rescue at Qiushan Pass last time! Even now, the Crown Prince doesn’t know that Bai Qingyan took people to Qiushan Pass to rescue people.” Lu Tianzhuo half-lowered his eyes. “As soon as I entered the capital, I saw the hidden stakes buried in the capital, and I also made many inquiries. I heard that Miss Bai had done many shocking things in the capital before, such as beating the drum to force the death of the Jin Emperor’s legitimate son, Prince Xin. Such a minister… I don’t believe that the Jin Emperor would believe it, and I don’t believe that the Crown Prince would not be afraid.”
Seeing that Li Zhijie kept his eyes downcast, Lu Tianzhuo continued, “Even if Bai Qingyan told the prince and the prince asked… the prince could say that he had offended Bai Qingyan badly in southern Xinjiang, and this time he sent the Bai family’s second son’s ring to trick the Bai family’s eldest daughter into coming here just to find an opportunity to make peace with Bai Qingyan and ask to marry the Bai family’s fourth daughter! This is no different from our original purpose.”
Li Zhijie smiled lightly, hiding the dangerous coldness in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: “Then Ah Zhuo, tell me… when did you capture Bai Qingqiong, the second son of the Bai family, without my knowledge?”
Li Zhijie threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish pond, turned his head and smiled: “If you didn’t need my help in setting up this trap, how long would you have kept it from me?”
Originally, Li Zhijie was willing to trust Lu Tianzhuo, but recently he discovered a series of secrets that Lu Tianzhuo was hiding from him…
For example, Lu Tianzhuo and Li Tianfu got together without anyone knowing when.
For example, Lu Tianzhuo actually has Bai Qingqiong in his hands.
This made Li Zhijie doubt whether he was wrong to give Lu Tianzhuo full trust and let him mobilize his own troops.
He even suspected that when Qiushan Guan Bai Qingyan and his group learned that Bai Jiazi was in his hands, Lu Tianzhuo might have secretly leaked the news to Bai Qingyan in order to use Bai Jiazi as bait to kill Bai Qingyan.
Li Zhijie has always had a principle, which is to trust people when employing them, and not to employ people if you don’t trust them.
But correspondingly, when Li Zhijie gave trust to a person, he also needed the other party to return unreserved loyalty.
What was the result? Lu Tianzhuo had hidden more than one thing from him.
Lu Tianzhuo had followed Li Zhijie for many years and knew Li Zhijie’s temper. He knelt down and apologized slowly, his voice firm and calm: “Your Highness, I did not intend to deceive you. You have taken good care of me over the years, and my life belongs to you. It’s just…Your Highness knows that I owed my adoptive father a life, and I want to avenge him. I can swear to my adoptive father’s spirit in heaven that I have never betrayed you.”
Li Zhijie’s beautiful and deep peach blossom eyes stared at Lu Tianzhuo who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice was slow and indifferent: “After the matter of Jin State is completed, you will stay by the princess’ side and serve her. You don’t need to follow me anymore.”
