024 Sealed Secret

After returning to the palace after enjoying plum blossoms that day, Bai Xijing will receive some gifts from time to time, mostly from young talents. Except for the famous piano and phoenix received that day, Xijing didn't like it very much. If she could retreat, she would retreat. If she couldn't, she let Siqin collect it. She can't guess what those people are up to, but she doesn't want to involve herself in these rights.

"Princess, it's already the nineteenth." Siqin glanced at Bai Xijing, who was sitting in the pavilion cooking tea, and reported respectfully.

Bai Xijing couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, but his face was full of emotional ups and downs: "Can you ask the housekeeper to send him away?"

"Yes, according to what the princess said, they all invited them in for tea one by one and sent them away." As if thinking of something, Siqin couldn't help but evoke a smile.

Xijing naturally knew what Siqin was laughing about. In the past few days, their Baiguo Palace was very lively. In addition to sending some gifts to the people who had been to the plum banquet, those young talents came to the house to propose marriage in person. In Siqin's words, the threshold was about to be broken.

Xijing naturally has no intention of marrying, and Bai Shu and Bai Ziyu are not willing to marry Xijing to these people, so they push almost everything to the housekeeper. Anyone who comes will be invited in for tea and then sent out. As soon as the news spread, it became the talk of the people in the capital after dinner. The most incredible thing was that the tea merchants in the capital also came to visit the palace frequently. Later, when I inquired, I dared to promote tea.

"Let's pay 200 taels to buy tea from my side." Xijing sighed slightly, and then slowly shook his head and said.

"Yes, the maidservant is going." Siqin took the order and just left the garden, and Du Kang, who had disappeared for a few days, appeared.

"Thank you for your hard work, can you gain?" Xijing casually poured a cup of hot tea for Du Kang and handed it to him. His words were not as cold as usual, but he was a little concerned.

Du Kang nodded when he heard the words and looked around. After taking over the teacup handed over by Xijing, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, as the princess expected, many strange figures did appear on the border of the White Country recently. Because of his deliberate hiding his whereabouts, Kang took some effort to find out. General Su also listened to the princess and began to secretly investigate and defend.

Xijing frowned slightly and then sighed, "It seems that His Majesty is really going to do it, but I don't know what name he is looking for this time."

"Can these findings be reported to the king?"

Xijing shook her head when she heard the words and slowly spit out a few words: "Women are not allowed to engage in politics."

Du Kang's expression changed slightly, and his eyes seemed to be a little complicated. Half-rate slowly turned his head to look elsewhere: "The princess will be tired one day to carry all the things alone."

Bai Xijing's slender and white index finger gently stroked the edge of the teacup and looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the teacup. She suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. She was not happy or sad. Maybe it was not emotional at all, but it was inexplicably heart-brating.

The quiet days have passed for a few days, but there are too many strange things hidden in this seemingly calm atmosphere. Bai Xijing counted his fingers carefully and found that he had not seen Bai Shu and Bai Ziyu for ten days. It looks like it's really going to be windy." Bai Xijing leaned against the window and muttered.

The voice just fell, and I saw Siqin come in with a calm face and said, "Princess, please go to the hall."

"What's the matter?" Bai Xijing suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, after hearing this question, Siqin frowned and said, "I heard that there was a decree in the palace."

Holy decree! This imperial edict didn't come early, but it didn't come late, but it had to come when they were ready to leave for the White Country. As long as they were discerning people, they could know that there must be something strange among them. No wonder Siqin's face was so heavy.

Bai Xijing couldn't help sighing in his heart, but his face was completely silent. When she arrived at the hall, a group of people from Bai Guo were almost arrived. Xi Jing walked to Bai Zhixin's side and bent down to kneel down. He heard the tall and thin eunuch begin to declare the edict in a thin voice.

Yang Yang said a lot, but only one thing: the prince of the four feudal states should lead the army to suppress the uprising from now on, and others are waiting not to leave the capital in this extraordinary period.

To put it well, it is to serve the country. In fact, it is just to use this matter to damage the insurgents and the forces of the four countries. Emperor Xuan of Qin is eager to collect the benefits of fishermen, and detaining them in Beijing is said to be the protection given by a very long period, but who will not know that this is a disguised house arrest and blackmail? What will happen to these hostages if the sons of the four countries do not do their best to go on an expedition or act rashly?

Thinking of this, the corners of Xijing's lips couldn't help but sneer, and there were waves in his eyes. However, he still thanked him respectfully: "Hang Long live my emperor."

After the eunuch left, Bai Ziyu suddenly stopped Bai Xijing, who was about to leave: "Xi'er, come with me. I have something to tell you."

Ah? Oh, okay." Xijing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and followed Bai Ziyu out of the hall and walked under a camphor tree. What's wrong?"

Xijing's words had just fallen, but he suddenly met Bai Ziyu's eyes. Bai Ziyu suddenly stretched out his hand and held Bai Xijing in his arms and gently said, "Xi'er, I don't know the danger of going on an expedition tomorrow. I just want to ask you a sincere word. Do you...would you worry about me?

Bai Xijing couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard the words. He smelled the faint Mulan fragrance on Bai Ziyu's body. All the time seemed to have returned ten years ago, but now... Bai Xijing couldn't help but look gloomy. There was a betrayal between them, half of life and death, and a... Xiyue. Thinking of this, Bai Xijing couldn't help but want to break away from Bai Ziyu's arms.

"Xi'er." Bai Ziyu's voice was full of helplessness and lamentation.

When did he talk to her in such a tone? How could such a humble tone be used by that proud and confident son? Bai Xijing subconsciously exhaled, then reached out and patted Bai Ziyu on the shoulder and whispered, "Waiting for your triumphant return."

Hearing what Xijing said, Bai Ziyu also knew that she would still worry about him. A smile appeared on her handsome face at the corners of her lips, and then slowly let go of Xijing and said, "Hmm."

After saying this, the two were speechless for a moment. Xijing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Just as he wanted to find an excuse to leave, he didn't expect Bai Ziyu to suddenly say, "Xi'er, my mother and I just want to protect you in our own way and make you suffer so many grievances. I'm sorry. Ye Lin has told me about Bai Zhixin, and some people have the time to pay the price.

When Bai Ziyu said this, his expression was a little cold, and when he said the last sentence, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of light.

"Do you all know?" Xijing understood the cause and effect in an instant when he heard Bai Ziyu say to protect her, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

"Although everyone says that the treasure map has been destroyed with the death of Xiyue, I know that it is with you." Bai Ziyu said faintly, with no big ups and downs in his tone. He just stretched out his hand and rubbed Xijing's hair.

"In order to make people completely believe that this thing has been destroyed, would you rather abandon me and let me face those bloody storms alone, right? You can turn a blind eye to the continuous assassination and bullying, but now you want to tell me that this is to protect me? Because no one will believe that if that thing is really in my hands, how can you ignore me? Oh, should I thank you for your good intentions?" In any case, Xijing's heart has always been a little inconceive.

The habits she has developed over the years have always inadvertently sarcasm when she talks to Bai Ziyu, although she regrets every time she finishes saying this.

Bai Ziyu did not refute himself, but said something irrelevant. His voice was very light and light, but there was a hint of unreal ethereal ethereal: "Xi'er, do you think you went to Beijing to see your mother's concubine this time?"

Xijing didn't know why Bai Ziyu suddenly changed the topic and talked about this, but still nodded.

"Have you ever seen it?" Bai Ziyu's voice was even lower.

"None." Xijing shook his head.

"How can it be seen?" Bai Ziyu's expression slowly floated with a trace of sadness, and even his eyes were a little confused, as if he had fallen into some memories. After half a pay, he said again, "Xi'er, won't you doubt that you haven't seen your mother concubine for ten years?"

At the moment she heard Bai Ziyu's sentence, Bai Xijing's face suddenly turned pale and she couldn't say anything. Once the conjecture in her heart sprouted, it could not be stopped. No, how can it be..."

"It's dead." Bai Ziyu interrupted Bai Xijing's words, and his voice was low and sad. Seeing Xijing's eyes wide and looking at herself in disbelief, Bai Ziyu looked directly at her and said word by word again, "I'm dead. I died ten years ago."

"Impossible! How could he die like this? I don't believe it!"

"Xi'er, you are so smart, can't you guess the good intentions of the many people here? I don't ask you to forgive me, I just want to tell you the whole truth, because... I don't know if there will be another chance in the future. In the past ten years, I have collected a lot of things and put them all in the secret room of my mother's bedroom. I thought that if I could not talk to you all my life, but... my father is right, Xi'er's words may be better than we can make.

"Father?"

Su Zige wrote a letter and said a lot about you. I don't want to ask Xi'er why she suddenly became like this. All I know is that no matter what, we are blood brothers and sisters. If this time... please take good care of your father."
