Chapter 292 Seeing the Danger
Bai Wei looked at Hongying who was holding the copper basin in front of her with a distracted look and said, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well."
In fact, it’s not that I didn’t sleep well, but that I basically didn’t sleep the whole night.
To be honest, I was exhausted after a busy day yesterday, using my brain and acting. But when I got off the carriage at night and lay on the bed, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could not help but think of Ouyang Yi's face, the kiss at the Taiping Banquet that was as gentle as a dragonfly touching the water, the hug in the carriage, and the words he had not finished.
I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and twisted and turned on the bed until dawn, when I finally fell into a slight drowsiness.
Unfortunately, before he could even feel the drowsiness, he was woken up by Hongying.
She didn't even need to look in the mirror to know how much resentment was on her face. She was probably more resentful than that of a thousand-year-old evil spirit.
Hongying was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
What did our general say?
That she didn't sleep well?
No, isn't her general the best sleeper? He can fall asleep even in a rocking chair in the yard. Why did he suddenly have trouble sleeping?
"General, you didn't sleep well last night. Why didn't you take your sleeping pill?"
She remembered that her daughter had brought it to Aunt Liu in the kitchen before, and Aunt Liu said that it was very effective. Now Aunt Liu's spirit and energy have improved. After proper exercise and a happy mood, she no longer needs to rely on the pills to fall asleep every day.
Bai Wei was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Yes, why didn't she consider giving herself a sleeping pill when she was tossing and turning last night? Even if she didn't take sleeping pills, giving herself an injection of anesthesia wouldn't have caused such a situation, right?
I really have lost my mind.
It must be, it must be that handsome face of yours, Ouyang Yi, in her mind that made her forget all these. Beauty is really misleading, and lust can captivate the soul!
"I was studying by lamplight last night, learning from books, and I forgot about time, so I didn't sleep well."
Is face important? Face is very important, so she absolutely cannot admit that she was blinded by beauty.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Hongying looked at Bai Wei with eyes full of respect.
The general is so capable and so keen on learning. She is really a role model in her heart. She must learn from her and take good care of her.
"Hongying will help the general wash up now."
Bai Wei said casually: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
When Hongying heard this, she nodded immediately, stood aside, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go make a cup of coffee for the lady?"
My wife said that coffee is a good thing to refresh the mind and eliminate edema. If you stay up late or feel tired and need to cheer up, you can drink a cup of coffee.
The coffee smelled nice but tasted a bit bitter, but the lady said she liked it.
That lady must be in great need of this thing now.
Bai Wei's eyes lit up: "Hongying, you are so nice."
So thoughtful.
When Hongying heard this, her face turned red involuntarily: "Serving the young lady is Hongying's duty."
Bai Wei didn't want to tell her about the meaningless nonsense of everyone being equal, because even in the society before she traveled through time, everyone was not equal.
However, what she can do is to be nice to whoever is nice to her.
Exchange sincerity for sincerity.
After tossing and turning for a while, Bai Wei washed up, changed her clothes, casually ate two cakes, drank a cup of coffee, and went to meet Eunuch Gui.
Eunuch Gui stood in the courtyard of the general's mansion, with a hint of impatience on his face.
It was only when he saw Bai Wei coming that he forcibly put away his impatience, but the teasing look was still there: "Oh, General Bai, you are finally here, you really made me wait so long."
Bai Wei didn't say much, and directly handed over a bag of money: "I was too tired from the Taiping Banquet yesterday, and I slept a little deeply. I didn't expect that Eunuch Gui would come so early. It is indeed Bai Wei's fault."
Eunuch Gui happily took the purse and nodded twice subconsciously.
You can tell from the tone that it is not filled with gold, but yellow gold.
In just a moment, the mockery in his eyes turned into happiness: "General Bai competed for Dong Qin yesterday and won the applause of the whole room. More importantly, he helped the Queen Mother and the Emperor to clean up the film of pretending to be gods and ghosts. True Man Qinglian, you have worked very hard, and you deserve to rest more."
Bai Wei smiled slightly: "Why did Eunuch Gui come here?"
Eunuch Gui waved his hand.
The next second, several imperial guards came in carrying several large boxes. "Of course, I am here to give General Bai a reward. Not only that, the emperor also specifically ordered me to go to Prince Qi's Mansion before coming to the general's mansion, and asked His Royal Highness Prince Qi to bring the things he promised to you yesterday!"
To be honest, what Bai Wei gave was quite a lot, but compared to these boxes, it was nothing.
However, as a eunuch, the two most important things to stay alive and climb to his position are: one is to be clear-headed, and the other is not to be greedy.
He knows very well what money he can take and what money he cannot take.
"General Bai, please send someone to count them carefully. Two thousand six hundred taels of gold, not a tael less. Also this jade bracelet, thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and these that His Royal Highness Prince Qi promised you, and these..."
Eunuch Gui showed off the things he brought very calmly, but he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing..."
After saying this, he waved to the few palace maids who were farthest away.
The palace maids came over, each holding an extra-large food box in their hands.
Eunuch Gui smiled and opened the food box. "General Bai, didn't the emperor promise to have Chef Fan roast ten roast chickens for you? Chef Fan started preparing it last night and finished it this morning. He asked me to bring it to you. In addition, the emperor also prepared a few dishes that you said you liked before. Take a look."
Bai Wei looked at the dozen palace maids and was touched: "The emperor's grace is as deep as the sea. The emperor really cares about his subjects!"
Eunuch Gui smiled and said, "Of course. To be honest, I have never seen the emperor care so much about any of his subjects! General Bai, you must always be grateful for the emperor's kindness to you."
Bai Wei nodded and agreed, "Of course, what Eunuch Gui said is absolutely right. Bai Wei would like to thank the Emperor for his grace, and also thank Eunuch Gui for delivering the things for Bai Wei."
Oh, Ouyang Ming is thinking about her? Is he concerned about her?
He just wanted to make amends out of guilt and to avoid giving others a chance to talk about him.
Feeling guilty that he almost burned the thousand-year-old fox demon in the mouth of True Person Qinglian yesterday, he died in a fire.
To make up for taking her fairy treasure yesterday, so as to achieve an equal exchange of one thing for one thing.
This would prevent her from underestimating him behind her back and thinking that he would use his power to suppress her and seize her treasure, and it would also help to shut up everyone in Dongqin.
Therefore, he had to give the money, and as for the food... it was just to play the emotional card with her, to calm her emotions, and to establish the image of him doting on her in front of everyone, leaving others speechless.
Moreover, he did it so meticulously and thoughtfully, and made it known to everyone, which made her feel something.
He was probably already planning to do something bad to her and Ouyang Yi. This was to tell everyone that he loved and trusted her, and if anything happened to her and Ouyang Yi in the future, it would not be his fault.
He easily disguised himself as a victim who had lost his brother and beloved subordinates!
