106 gentle as water

Bai Xijing felt a little stupid. After running back alone from Fang Siyuan's courtyard that day, she was so guilty that she dared not go there again. She was afraid that she could not help asking Fang Siyuan if the scroll of silk was true. And he must be very angry to put aside Fang Siyuan, right?

"Hey." Bai Xijing lay weakly by the window and sighed.

"Princess, what's wrong?" As soon as Du Kang entered the room and saw Bai Xijing's weak appearance, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly and asking, "Although it's early spring, it's cold by the window. The princess should close the window."

When Bai Xijing heard the words, he slowly turned his head and looked at Du Kang, and a faint smile appeared on his beautiful face and said, "It's okay. I like to sit like this. By the way, how's it going?"

A few days ago, Bai Xijing ordered Du Kang to help her spread a few rumors secretly. She was not a kind and generous person. Some time ago, she made so many rumors to slander her. Is she not allowed to return? And after her rumors have calmed down for a long time, even people with intentions will not think that she will delay taking action.

The first rumor, Zhao Xueer was jealous of Fang Pingting's favor and secretly hurt Fang Pingting's slippery tire.

The second rumor is full of praise of Ye Lin's words and advocating Ye Lin's achievements.

She is not idle to help Ye Lin attract the hearts of the people. You should know that although Ye Wang valued Ye Lin as the son of the world, he could not tolerate Ye Lin's presumptuousness during his reign. If Ye Lin's reputation suddenly rises, what will Ye Wang, who has been sick recently, think?

In order to prevent Bai from facing enemies like Ye Lin too early, she must make Ye Wang begin to suspect Ye Lin. Ye Lin should not participate too much, let alone take power too early.

Rumors are true and false. She doesn't care that these people will all believe it, but even if there is only a little doubt, her plan can go smoothly.

"Well, live up to the princess's trust." Du Kang replied in a low voice, but he stepped towards Bai Xijing, but when he walked to Bai Xijing, he closed the window with his hand.

Bai Xijing was shocked by this move and couldn't help looking up at him: "What's wrong?"

"I will catch a cold." Du Kang said faintly.

"No, the weather is much warmer..." Bai Xijing blinked his eyes and looked extremely innocent.

"Oh, princess, don't care. I mean I'll catch a cold." Du Kang said expressionlessly and waved his hand after saying, "I'm like this, what can you do with me?" Bai Xijing was angry and funny. Let's not talk about this, princess, the prince has something to pass on to you.

After saying that, Du Kang took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Bai Xijing's hand. Bai Xijing opened the letter and read it in front of Du Kang, but the smile on his face at the end was restrained a lot.

"What's wrong with the White Country? The princess's face seems to be a little bad. Du Kang asked with concern.

Bai Xijing shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. Although his father's illness has not improved much, it is also under control. It's just... It's just that he wrote to remind me not to forget the anniversary of my deceased's death.

"An old man?" Du Kang frowned slightly, but there was no clue. Although he had heard that Bai Xijing's mother's concubine had actually passed away before, he remembered that Bai Xijing said that her mother's concubine's death was in summer, not early spring. So who else could the so-called old friend be?

Du Kang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and a haze flashed in his eyes. He thought he knew Bai Xijing best, but now he found that he still didn't know her well enough. She had too many secrets that he didn't know. No, it's not that he doesn't know, but that she doesn't want him to know.

However, no one or two secrets that are not humane, including a secret on him, a secret that Bai Xijing can never guess.

Bai Xijing's eyes glanced at Du Kang gently, but did not answer Du Kang's question. He just said, "Mr. Du Kang, you have never told me what happened before. What kind of life did you live before you met before?"

Du Kang lowered his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and his eyes suddenly darkened without any brilliance.

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to say it if you don't want to say it. I'm just asking casually. Bai Xijing rarely saw Du Kang show such a look, and his mind was a little... so he didn't want to ask any more.

"When he was a child... kills..." Just when Bai Xijing thought that Du Kang would not speak again, Du Kang suddenly opened his mouth, but his eyes did not look at her as usual, but turned his eyes to the window behind her, as if he were looking into nothingness.

"Murder?"

Du Kang nodded, but his eyes were still a little confused: "Because of the famine, everyone in the family died, and I was the only one left. In order to survive, I picked up everything left by the dead and even ate..."

Du Kang suddenly paused when he said here. His eyes had no focus, and even frowned, which seemed to be very uncomfortable. Although he didn't explain it, Bai Xijing wanted to get that situation. What kind of mind does a teenager living in the pile of dead need to survive such a day?

Bai Xijing suddenly couldn't bear to recall those past. She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Du Kang's sleeve and said, "Du Kang, it's over, so... don't be sad."

Du Kang seemed to be stunned when he heard the words, and his lax and confused eyes finally woke up. A smile slowly floated on the corners of his lips and said, "Just kidding, princess, do you believe this?"

Bai Xijing was not angry when he heard Du Kang say this, but suddenly stood up on tiptoe and touched the top of Du Kang's hair and said, "Du Kang, live in the present." Her voice was gentle and warm, and Du Kang only felt that her throat was tight, and he was speechless.

Princess, do you know? You are too gentle to the people you care about, and such gentleness will make people reluctant. No one has ever asked him what kind of life he had lived before, and no one has ever scrubbed his head so gently, but she has done it.

Du Kang tried his best to restrain his emotions and said, "Princess, isn't it tiring to tiptoe like this?"

Bai Xijing smiled and said, "Who made you grow so tall? By the way, I have one more thing to ask you for help.

"No wonder the princess is so gentle today that she dares to ask me to do something." Although Tao Kan was joking in Du Kang's words, he had no expression on his face and looked particularly funny.

Bai Xijing never regarded him as a subordinate, which developed such a dialogue between two people. Ye Lin seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with this, but Bai Xijing had always been like this to Du Kang, which made him jealous several times. However, if you look carefully, Bai Xijing has no intention of Du Kang. Although he can't let go, he doesn't care for the time being.
