Chapter 307 - You Were Different
Bai Aoxue was brought back to the Imperial Palace of the Nanyue Dynasty by Qi Liange. Qi Liange did not let Mumian, Wenxi, and others take care of her, but ordered the maidservant who accompanied them all the way to take care of Bai Aoxue carefully.
On this trip, Bai Aoxue did not see Suxiao who had been following Qi Liange in the past. Although she had some doubts, she didn’t ask anything.
“Where is Princess Muyuan? Can you ask her to come and see me?” Looking at the maidservant who had been following her all the time, Bai Aoxue asked lightly.
When the maidservant saw Bai Aoxue talking to her, she did not respond for a moment until she returned to her senses after a while and said, “Princess Muyuan has left the Imperial Palace for some days. I don’t know where Princess Muyuan has gone.”
When Bai Aoxue heard the maidservant’s words, she was a little surprised, but she didn’t say much.
“I see.”
The maidservant saw that Bai Aoxue had no idea of continuing to talk to her so she dutifully guarded Bai Aoxue.
But Bai Aoxue was really a little confused. Where did Qi Muyuan go? Why wasn’t Qi Liange worried at all?
When she was thinking, Bai Aoxue saw the bright yellow figure coming from afar.
Qi Liange who had disappeared for a few days appeared again. Bai Aoxue did not have much reaction.
But this time, Qi Liange didn’t come alone. He was followed by a person.
Seeing Bai Aoxue sitting in the garden, Qi Liange frowned slightly and said, “It’s so cold in the garden. Can’t you light a stove for Miss Bai?”
The maidservant knelt in panic and so did those little eunuchs.
“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry.”
When Bai Aoxue saw this situation, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “I didn’t allow them. I’m not cold.”
When Qi Liange saw Bai Aoxue talking, he didn’t say much. He stepped forward to help Bai Aoxue raise, but Bai Aoxue escaped him and went straight into the room.
Qi Liange withdrew his hands awkwardly and took a cold look at the people present and said, “Get up. Prepare the meal. I’ll stay here for dinner today.”
And as soon as those little eunuchs and the maidservant listened to Qi Liange’s words, they got up with relief and went to prepare it respectively.
The man behind Qi Liange looked at the figure of Bai Aoxue. He frowned slightly and said, “Your Majesty… how rude this woman is!”
As soon as Qi Liange listened to the man’s words, his face changed slightly. But he didn’t blame him.
“Aoxue is a little indifferent. You should get used to it. After all, she is about to become the Empress of the Nanyue Dynasty.” Qi Liange said quietly as if what he had said at this moment was a very ordinary little thing.
Bai Aoxue who had already gone far away heard the words of Qi Liange with her good hearing. Her footsteps paused slightly. Bai Aoxue had a cold look in her eyes.
Qi Liange with the man behind him followed Bai Aoxue and walked into her palace.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you have anything else to do? Why don’t you go?” Bai Aoxue saw Qi Liange coming in and said impolitely.
But Qi Liange seemed not to care about it. He gently said, “I may be very busy in a few days. I may not have time to come to see you every day.”
Bai Aoxue understood the meaning of Qi Liange. She gently said, “I’m all right. You don’t have to come here. After all, I am the princess of the 5th prince of the Chengxi Dynasty so it’s not good to let people know you come here.”
No matter how good Qi Liange’s temperament was, he was infuriated by Bai Aoxue this time.
He did not expect that Bai Aoxue had such an ability to provoke people.
“Well… the 5th prince of the Chengxi Dynasty? I think you haven’t been energetic all this time. You don’t know that the Chengxi Dynasty has already changed.” Qi Liange looked at Bai Aoxue and said with a smile.
As soon as Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Qi Liange, she gently said, “Jun Yeyan has ascended the throne, right?”
Qi Liange slowly nodded. He didn’t show any surprise that Bai Aoxue could guess it.
“He is on the throne. When you disappeared that night, he successfully ascended the throne. And now he is busy picking concubines. He probably has forgotten you. If not, why don’t you see him looking for you wantonly?” Qi Liange quietly observed the expression of Bai Aoxue and said something that was enough to shake Bai Aoxue’s heart.
However, he was still disappointed. There was no change in Bai Aoxue’s face. What was more, there was not a trace of waves in her quiet phoenix-like eyes.
Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Qi Liange as if she didn’t care, saying, “Really? He ascends the throne, which was exactly what I expected.”
“Don’t you care at all that he picks concubines?” Qi Liange unwillingly looked at Bai Aoxue and asked.
Bai Aoxue raised her eyes slightly and took a look at Qi Liange, saying, “Why should I care? Because I believe that he will not pick concubines. Of course I do not care. Even if he is really picking concubines, it is also because of the interests of the whole. But I believe he will not betray me.”
She was so calm from beginning to end that Qi Liange felt frustrated.
Qi Liange was not reconciled to say, “Do you trust him so much? Men are always like this, when they have power, they will be selfish.”
Bai Aoxue looked straight at Qi Liange and gently opened her red lips, saying, “Then you tell me. Are you such a person? When you have power, will you be selfish?”
Qi Liange was asked speechless by Bai Aoxue.
“He and I… we are naturally different.” Qi Liange did not look at the eyes of Bai Aoxue and said hurriedly.
Bai Aoxue smiled softly and said, “You are different indeed. Jun Yeyan would not do such a thing as you did. Imprison a person who doesn’t love you here like this.”
As soon as he heard Bai Aoxue’s words, Qi Liange seemed to hear a big joke and said, “Ha-ha… if you don’t love Jun Yeyan, you certainly don’t know what kind of crazy behavior he will do. Maybe he was even crazier than me.”
“But I love Jun Yeyan. There is no if.” Bai Aoxue looked at the Qi Liange seriously and said gently word by word.
There was no trace of hesitation in her words.
Qi Liange who was originally laughing out loud stopped his laugh and looked at Bai Aoxue without blinking. He just wanted to speak but the man behind him who did not speak from beginning to end spoke first.
“His majesty loves you so much. How can you trample on his mind so much?” The man looked at Bai Aoxue and said in disgust.
When Bai Aoxue listened to the man’s words, she slightly glanced at the man and did not care to say, “Then let me leave. I will not trample on his mind.”
“You!” The man obviously did not expect Bai Aoxue’s attitude. He was angry for a moment, but he was stopped by Qi Liange.
“Enough, Ju Xiao. You can leave.” Qi Liange said in a low voice, looking at the man’s eyes with a trace of ice-cold.
The man named Ju Xiao glanced at Bai Aoxue unwillingly. Then he took the order to leave.
“You should go, too. I’m tired and want to have a rest.” Bai Aoxue said softly without watching Qi Liange.
Qi Liange looked at the back of Bai Aoxue. After a long time, he gently said, “I will let your three maidservants come to see you. These days you should have a good rest. The canonization ceremony will be held in five days. I will make you become the most glorious and honorable woman in the world.”
After saying, he didn’t wait for Bai Aoxue to react. Qi Liange turned and left.
As soon as Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Qi Liange, she clenched her hands and secretly talked to herself in the heart—She must quicken her pace and leave here in five days.
A few hurried footsteps had already come after Qi Liange left for a while.
“Miss!” There came three voices in excitement like they didn’t believe Bai Aoxue was here.
When Bai Aoxue heard the voices, she paused slightly. Then she turned back with a big smile and said, “Are you all silly? You don’t even know me?”
When these people including Mumian and Wenxi heard it, they no longer hesitated and rushed to Bai Aoxue’s side. They just wanted to plop into Bai Aoxue’s arms before they were stopped by the maidservant on the side.
Being stopped by her, Mumian asked unhappily, “What are you doing?”
The maidservant looked at Mumian with a cold and calm face, saying, “Miss Bai is pregnant now. You will hurt Miss Bai like this.”
When these people including Mumian and Wenxi heard the maidservant’s words, they were so shocked that they didn’t know how to react.
They looked at Bai Aoxue in disbelief. What did the Miss go through during their absence? Why was she pregnant?
“Miss… This….” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue in shock. She muttered for a long time but didn’t know what to say.
Bai Aoxue looked at the appearance of Mumian and said with a light smile, “What are you thinking? This is Jun Yeyan’s child and mine. I have been pregnant for almost five months.”
As soon as Mumian heard what Bai Aoxue said, her eyes turned red. She squatted carefully beside Bai Aoxue, stretched out her hand and wanted to cover Bai Aoxue’s belly.
Bai Aoxue was a little slim. Although she had been pregnant for five months, it was still not very obvious now.
“I’m so glad that I’m going to have a little Master so soon,” Mumian said with a sigh.
Bai Aoxue looked at the maidservant next to her and said gently, “You can go out. I have something to tell them.”
The maidservant was a little hesitant. But as soon as she thought of the strict guard outside, she went out with ease.
Wenxi looked at Bai Aoxue and asked seriously, “Miss, did Qi Liange kidnap you here?”
Just now they walked all the way here. They had already seen that how strict the guards here were. In this case, Qi Liange must have kidnapped Bai Aoxue and imprisoned her here.
Bai Aoxue nodded gently.
“They said that you will be the Empress to be canonized by Qi Liange, won’t you?” Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue and asked anxiously.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “As you can see, Qi Liange forced me to take a poison which made me lose all my force. I can’t leave here now. I have almost prepared the antidote. Now I still need one kind of medicine. You must help me get it.”
“Miss, what medicine do you need? We will do everything we can to get it!” Wenxi and others said in low voices.
Bai Aoxue told Wenxi and others. The maidservant came in to remind Bai Aoxue to rest and let Wenxi and others leave.
Although Wenxi and others were unwilling in their hearts, there was no way at this time. After saying goodbye to Bai Aoxue, they left.
Looking at the maidservant who came in, Bai Aoxue said lightly, “Go and tell Qi Liange. I want to see Nalan Youhong.”
As soon as the maidservant heard it, she was stunned slightly and then took the order to deliver the message.
Looking at the sky, which was getting dark, Bai Aoxue took out the medicine she had been hiding. After putting it away carefully one by one, she heard a slight noise.
Although the voice was light, it was enough to attract her attention.
“Who!?”
